"Hey, Jace, I was... Thinking... And..." She stood uncomfortably staring at Percy and Jason, who held a thin bed sheet over their bare bodies. Percy swallowed his laugh.
"Am I interrupting something?" Her voice wavered.
"Yes," Percy said at the same time Jason said, "No." There was an awkward silence as the three looked at each other. Percy laughed nervously, sinking into the covers, rubbing against Jason's body.
   Jason accidentally let the sheet slip from his hands, revealing his super hot, shirtless chest. Percy buried his head in Jason's shoulder.
"Oh, gods," he muttered.
"Are you guys...?" Piper couldn't even finish.
"Have you seen Per-" Annabeth had run in next to Piper. Both girls had similar expressions on their faces.
"Hey, you two, what going on... Oh my gods," Nico walked in, and Nico walked out. He shook his head, chuckling, a hand covering his face as he exited. He bumped into Will Solace on the way out.
"S-sorry," he stuttered, face red.
"It's fine..." Well answered nervously.
"Hey, why don't you two play house?" An Ares kid yelled. Jason snapped his fingers getting Piper's attention. He pointed to the shirt over Hippie Zeus' head. They exchanged a silent message and Piper tossed him the shirt. What had Percy done? Jason dressed and walked out.
"Nico could be the door and, Will, you slam him!" The Ares-spawn sneered. A bunch of campers snickered, leaving Will and Nico with their heads low. Jason stored over to the kid teasing and punched him square in the jaw. Percy smirked.
"If you say one more thing against Nico, I swear to you-" Jason's threat was cut off by the Ares kid taking a swing at him. That snapped Percy.
   Jason staggered back a few steps, feeling his nose for blood. Percy didn't bother with a shirt, pushing past the girls. A crowd had already gathered around Jason and the Ares kid, cheering them on. They made way for Percy and he stood, arms crossed, watching the fight unfold. He cleared his throat loudly, distracting Jason who got a fist in the face. Percy winced.
"Okay, that enough!" He yelled, jumping into action. Fists flew, lightning flashed, and the son of Ares was taken to the infirmary, hair sticking straight up.
"Dude, you okay?" Percy asked. Jason nodded, touching his nose gingerly. Percy called Will over and he took Jason to the infirmary.
"And you're okay?" He asked Nico. His face was still a bright red. He odder vigorously. Percy slapped a hand on Nico's back and entered the Zeus cabin to retrieve his shirt.
   He was about to enter when he heard voices inside. Crying.
"Annabeth, you hit on Jason. You cheated on Percy. Percy just cheated back... With the same guy... Sorry. I'm not he,ping, am I?" Annabeth cried louder. A cool breeze made Percy shiver. He needed his shirt! He took a deep breath and opened the door. Annabeth's cries stopped abruptly. Percy couldn't look at her, walking briskly to the bunk where his shirt lay on the floor. He picked it up, pulled it over his head, and walked out, feeling their eyes follow him. He coughed loudly, slamming the door. Percy closed his eyes and slid down the door. Annabeths sobs had continued now that he'd gone.
   He banged his head against the door a few times before someone touched his shoulder. Percy cracked his eyes open to see Jason smiling down at him. His nose was patched up and a purple bruise had already formed below his jawline. Percy couldn't help but smile as well. He kissed him. Jason seemed to want more but pulled away, face red. He looked around nervously.
"Not in public. Not yet," Jason whispered, his lips against Percy's ear. Percy felt his face get warm.
"Right... Sorry," he responded. 
"I'm just... Kinda scared..."
"Good. Don't ever not be scared. Then you wouldn't need me."
   Their eyes locked and Jason said quietly, "I will always need you." Percy wanted to kiss him so badly. He could see the longing in Jason's eyes. But they resisted and Jason helps Percy to his feet. Their faces were inches apart. Percy squeezed his eyes shut.
"Man, this is impossible," he muttered. Jason sighed.
" I don't know what to do," he said weakly.
