Percy

     He found Piper heading towards her cabin. He ran in front of her, making Piper stop in her tracks. "Percy!" Piper gasped, her fist raised as if she was nearly going to punch him.

     "Hey, I need he--"

     "Help with your relationship and sexuality problems?" Piper continued, crossing her arm and with an eyebrow raised.

     Percy choked on his own spit, "Sexuality problems? No, no just the relationship problem part. Why would I have sexuality problems?" He asked, his voice cracking most of the sentence.

     Piper looked unimpressed. "Percy I can sense these things from a mile away. It's been going on for a while, too. Just follow me bro, I got you." Piper lead him to the Aphrodite cabin, making him sit on the bed across from hers.

     "So, tell me Percy. What's been happening?" Piper asked, getting a notepad from her dresser.

     "Well...I wouldn't say it's anything bad, really." Percy replied. "It's just...I feel as if me and Annabeth's relationship is turning more into a brother and sister kind of thing, y'know?"

    Piper nodded, writing something down. She looked up at Percy as to tell tell to go on.

    "Well and I don't know. I have this gut feeling that's telling me that she feels the same. What's bad is that...I don't really have a problem with it."Percy said, fiddling with his hands.

    "Percy, if you were to be attracted to a man, how would you feel?" Piper asked, not looking up from her notepad.

    "I mean...there isn't anything wrong with it. I believe everyone can be who they want." Percy replied.

    "What if a transgender boy what to love you?" Piper asked.

    That question left Percy silent. There isn't anything wrong with it...Percy told himself. "I-I guess it would be alright." Percy answered.

    Piper grinned, putting her notepad to the side. "Well, Perseus. I think you should tell Annabeth after dinner and my friend, you are pansexual."

                                ---

    It was dinner, and Percy stayed in his cabin because if he ate, Percy would likely end up throwing it all up. He was just so nervous that his body refused to do anything, so he just stayed in bed. 

    That's of course until someone knocked at his door. Please don't be Annabeth, please. Percy thought to himself, to reveal the one and only Jason Grace.

    "Oh thank the gods. Come in." Percy said, dragging Jason in by the wrist and shutting the door.

    "Hello to you too? Dude, what happened with dinner? Everyone was wondering where the one and only Percy Jackson went." The blonde said.

    "I know, I'm sorry just...I have something to do but my body has been refusing to do anything." Percy replied.

     "Is it the whole Annabeth and you being pansexual thing?"

     "Who told you?" The sea-green eyed boy asked.

    "I have my people." Jason replied, shrugging.

    "Well, you're right. I need help, man. Big time."

    "All I can tell you Percy is that I know it's going to be tough, but you have to rip it off like a bandaid or else it's going to be even worse if you don't" Jason said, putting a hand on Percy's shoulder.

     "Thanks-" Percy was interrupted from a couple of knocks at the door. He turned to give Jason one last look before going to the door and opening it, revealing Annabeth. Percy's heart started beating faster by the second, his knees wobbled until he felt the hand in his shoulder again. Jason gave a look that said good luck until he excused himself out the cabin, leaving the couple alone.

    "Annabe-"

    "Don't start, Percy. Tell me what's wrong, the truth. We should discuss in side, though." And Percy couldn't agree more, so he let her in and shut the door behind him.

    "What's up with you lately? Are you alright? Are you sick?"Annabeth asked, flooding him with questions.

    "No, Wise Girl. I'm not sick, it's just that something has been bothering me, so much. I'm scared that it's going to hurt you and-"

     "Percy, you can tell me anything, alright?"

     Just rip it off like a bandaid, imaginary Jason told him. Percy took a deep breathe, closing his eyes, then let it all out.

    "I feel as if we are turning into a brother and sister kind of relationship, Annabeth. I don't think we are meant to be in this type of relationship anymore, y'know? I just found out that I'm-I'm pansexual! I can't handle all of this and I feel as of we shouldn't date anymore, just be friends. Best friends." Percy opened one eye, to reveal a shocked Annabeth. I screwed up, Percy thought to himself.

    That's until Annabeth bursted out laughing until she started to cry. Percy was so confused, he didn't know what to do when you're ex-girlfriend starts laughing when you break up with her! Piper nor Jason told him what to do once this happened! He wasn't prepared!

    "Oh my God's, you're such a seaweed brain, Percy. I'm so relieved you finally got to your senses about you're sexuality. It's been too long, way too long. It was eating my insides from how oblivious you are." Annabeth said, wiping away her tears.

    "Wha-what? You aren't mad or anything? You don't want to hunt me down until the day I die?" Percy asked and honestly, he was so shocked. He was too afraid to think that things might actually go well.

    "What? Of course not! You are my bestest friend, Percy. Plus, it was obvious for me too that you were getting bored and our relationship was turning into a best friend one, I agree. I'm just relieved and I'm glad you noticed." Annabeth said, kissing his cheek and the two talked all night long, happily.
