A Switch Sponsored by the Fates

Bye bye, drama queen.

We appeared on Olympus much like how we did in the.. land of the fates, I guess?

With a bump, and a shit load of swearing.

The only differences were, Nico wasn't trying to murder Thalia, and we had 12 immortals watching us.

Standing up and growing, I narrowed my eyes at everyone. "This isn't fair. Why do you all look so hot and I'm just the same?"

Jason just stared at me, then flatly said, "Leo, don't get mad at me, but Percy. You are hot as fuck."

"Don't worry, Jase, I agree."

I sighed. "Okay, sure." Turning to Zeus, I stood up a little straighter. "So, when are you moving out?"

The wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen.

I repressed a smile.

"What are you on about, Perseus?"

"I swear to Tartarus, why does everyone call me that?! My name is Percy, for Apollo's sake."

"For my sake? Why, Perce, I'm honoured!"

"Shut up, Apollo."

"Awh... Hurt me right here," the god whined, pressing a palm over his heart.

"Well, I'm not kissing it better, so cry me a river."

He gasped teasingly and I let a small smile slip. This is why he's one of my favourites.

"Apollo, he thinks that you're one of his favourites," Dionysus drawled, and my head snapped in his direction.

"Wine dude, shut up."

"I still think you'd look good as a bottle of Merlot, Peter Johnson."

"That's not my- whatever."

"Why are you here, son?" Poseidon asked, confused.

Nico answered before I could.

"To replace you fucktards!"

"Neeks! Language, bubs!" Will hissed anxiously.

Hades raised an eyebrow, face screwing up in disgust. "Nico, you're letting him call you bubs?"

"Shut up, dad."

"Instead of worrying about the nicknames they're giving each other, can we speak about the fact that they are, apparently, replacing us?" Athena said irritably.

"That's boring, Athena! I love nicknames."

"We all know that, Apollo."

"I'm awesome!"

Everyone collectively sighed.

"Anyway.. say bye bye to your spots on Olympus?"

"Can I say no?" Hermes spoke up, slightly anxious smile in place.

"No," Reyna said flatly.

Nearly everyone winced at her tone.

"Reyna, you gotta soften up a bit-" The sun god tried, shrinking back when a glare was directed at him.

"I mean, as much as he's annoying, he is right, Reyna," I offered in hopes to appease both immortal and well, other, older immortal.

"Shut up, Jackson. You're only saying that because your gay ass likes him or some shit."

"Hey! I'll have you know I'm bi, I don't like him like that, and you can't be mocking me for being gay when you're snogging Thalia whenever you think no one's looking!"
