Jason wouldn't stop hugging Percy, he couldn't. He wanted everything to go back to normal, for them to be okay again, but he knew that it could take a long time for that to happen. He didn't remember ever touching Percy in a harmful way while they were on the trip, but he believes Percy. 

Jason never wants to touch alcohol again. 

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Jason looked down at Percy. 

"I-I thought you remembered and that you were just ignoring what happened." 

"I'm sorry I didn't pick up that something was wrong sooner."

"It's okay." 

"Percy I don't want to lose you. I know that what I did was wrong and that you will probably never be able to trust me the same way again, but I honestly didn't mean anything that I said. God I'm surprised we are even together in the first place, I've done nothing but hurt you and Percy I can never forgive myself for that." 

"Jason i-it's alright." Percy's voice was barely above a whisper. 

"No it isn't, how could you say that it's okay? I've caused you so much pain Percy. I've put you through more shit than you deserve. You deserve someone so much better than me, someone who can actually treat you right, right from the beginning. You don't deserve to be with such a horrible person like me. Percy I-" 

"Jason if I wanted anyone other than you I would've left already. I've forgiven you for the things that you used to do to me, I know you probably think that I shouldn't have but Jason you've proved to me in multiple ways that I can trust you. The last time hurt like hell for a long time because I had trusted you, but as much as it hurt I never stopped loving you as much as I do." Jason cupped Percy's cheeks and kissed him hard. 

"You're perfect." Percy hugged Jason. 

The truth is, even though Percy was scared of Jason for a while after the incident, he began to realize that Jason never truly meant to do it. The only thing that was holding him back from fully forgiving Jason was the fact that he did indeed hurt him. 

"I can't believe you drove all this way to see me." Percy whispered. 

"I can't believe I don't do this more often." Once again they shared a passionate kiss. 

"Percy I love you, I really do." 

"I know, I love you too." Percy grabbed Jason's hand and brought him back upstairs to his room. The two laid on his bed and soon fell asleep. 

--Next morning--

"Percy, wake up." Jason lightly shook Percy. 

"It's Saturday let me sleep." 

"Percy I have to leave today and I want to take you out to eat before I leave." Percy began to sit up.

"Do you really have to?" Jason nodded. 

"I have classes Monday morning and I still have homework to do for them." Percy cuddled into Jason's side. 

"I wish you could stay here forever, just like this." 

"I know, so do I." Jason kissed the top of Percy's head. "Lets go out to breakfast." Percy nodded. Percy knew that Jason had to be in class on Monday because coming to class is mandatory for participating on the football team, but he wished that he had more time to spend with him. It was almost winter, and Percy knew that they would both see each other a lot over holiday break, but now that seemed too far away. 

"How's football been?" They were waiting for two orders of pancakes. 

"It's been pretty great, we only have two games left." 

"I wish I could come see one." 

"I wish you could too, I wish we were closer together." Percy frowned. 

"I want it to be the holiday break already, when you come home promise me that you'll drive safely, even if it takes you an extra day to get here." Jason chuckled. 

"I promise. I already have your Christmas present." 

"Seriously? I feel bad now, I haven't gotten you anything yet. Actually I haven't gotten anyone anything yet." Jason smiled. 

"You still have plenty of time, don't worry about it. Just focus on school." 

"Ugh I hate school, it's too much work." They both laughed. 

After they ate it was time for Jason to hit the road. 

"I'm going to miss you." Percy said into the crook of Jason's neck.

"I'm going to miss you too, but we will talk every day." 

"I know but it's just..." Percy let a few tears fall onto Jason's shirt. 

"Hey don't cry, you'll see me again before you know it." 

"Are you sure you have to leave?" Percy sniffled. 

"I'm sure, I'll text you when I get back tonight." Jason kissed Percy and got into his car. 

"I love you." Percy bent down to say through the window. 

"I love you too." Jason smiled, pulling away, leaving Percy to mope around the rest of the day. Slowly but surely things were going back to normal between the two.
