   Percy took Jason's hand,  making the excuse of looking at his watch.
"Piper and Annabeth will tell anyway..."
"They're not that bad. Look, I know Piper and and she-"
"Well, I apparently don't know Annabeth!" Percy shouted. "And I don't care who hears. I love you, Jason Brave, I love you!" He smothered Jason in kisses only a few campers saw, but word spreads fast. Nico came running up and pulled them apart.
"What are you doing?" He hissed.
"He started it," Jason and Percy said together. Nico looked furious, no annoyed. He pushed them into cabin 1 where Annabeth and Piper had started throwing books at them.
"Retreat!" Percy yelled.
   The three boys ran out I search of a place to talk. They ran into Will.
"Hey, partner..." Will said warily, pushing Nico's shoulder. There was an awkward amount of tension between Percy and Jason, and Will and Nico. Nico bit his lip.
"Hi, Will. I, um... We er-" he couldn't find his voice.
"We're just gonna keep walking," Percy offered. Nico nodded, keeping his head down.
   As they walked away, Percy looked over at Nico. He had an expression on his face that Percy knew all too well. It was the smile Jason gave him before they started... Well, dating, he supposed.
"Do you and Will...?" Percy's voice wavered.
"Long story," Nico said simply. If he'd wanted to talk, he would've. Percy didn't push it. He looked up at Jason who shrugged.
"Where're we going?" He attempted to change the subject.
"Dunno," Nico replied, "anyone?" Percy put on an I've got no friggin idea pluton and shook his head Jason took his hand.
"Don't really care. As long as we stay together," he said. This annoyed Percy.
"Really? 'Cause five minutes ago you were-"
"Percy, I realized something in the last five minutes. If you can't be with the person you love, then what does that a make you?" Jason intercepted. Percy gripped Jason's hand tighter, walking as close as he could to him without tripping me both.
"Me," Nico's words were barely audible.
"It makes you me." With that, he ran off, leaving Percy and Jason alone. After a minute of silence, Jason chuckled.
"Oh yeah," he said, "him and Will, dude-"
"Oh yeah."
   They didn't see much of Will,Nico, or any of the Seven for that matter, for the rest of the day.

   That night, after an agonizing dinner (being without his boyfriend and such) Percy led Jason to cabin 1.
"Isn't that kinda against the rules?" Jason wondered. Percy rolled his eyes.
"You didn't say that last night." After a long silence, Jason entered with Percy, muttering something about being a rule breaker. Percy grinned.
"Rule follower." It was Jason's turn to smile.
"Opposites attract."
  
    The cabin door shut quietly behind them.
