Percy
I have a boyfriend.
Now let me explain, because they're not from camp at all. We met at a college fair in November, it was through schools. We were looking at the same college and started looking around together and then we had lunch together and his friends dragged him off, but he gave me his number and he doesn't live with far away. It's like a 10 minute drive. From both Camp and from my mom's place. We actually started going out in January. Our six month anniversary was the other day.
So when I leave on a Friday and don't come back until Saturday... That's going to be great to explain to people like Annabeth who think I'm straight. I know eventually he wants to meet my dad. I still have to figure out how that'll happen. It will this summer. I'm just not sure exactly how.
Of course, we text and we call each other. It's rare we Iris message because he doesn't exactly have any drachmas. Although I'm slowly explaining it to him. That I'm half mortal. He knows about the iris message, he can see through the mist. Small stuff like that. And he doesn't freak out or something because he does have a really messed up family tree so mine isn't the weirdest thing to him.
It was the first night at camp. We were texting... And I fell asleep...

Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, and I went to see what the hell was taking Percy so long to get ready. It was almost time for breakfast. We've always met up before breakfast. Always.
"I figured it out." Thalia stated as she glanced into his room. "He's not even awake."
"Seriously?" I questioned and looked into his room. It was 9:30. He was dead to the world. But his phone wasn't. That thing was going off. So Nico looks at it, opens it up and everything.
Nico starts to laugh as we went into the open area of the cabin.
"What?"
"This guy," Nico explains. "I think he's trying to have Percy's phone go off enough so he wakes him up. There were messages from last night, too. Read these."
Handing me the phone, I read them.
Last night:
A: Either way it's just a ten minute drive.
P: Exactly, so it shouldn't be a big deal. The worst of it is actually getting my dad to meet up with us. Probably for lunch or something.
A: That'd be perfect. I just need a date because you know my parents. They adore you, but you know them.
P: Yeah. Brbb.
A: Okay!
A: Uh, babe?
A: Percy?
A: Aquaman?
A: Babe
A: Did you seriously fall asleep on me?
A: I swear if you fell asleep on me
A: You're getting tickled so badly the next time I see you.
A: Well I'm heading to bed (although you probably won't see this until you wake up), let me know about meeting with your dad. I love you 🖤
This morning:
A: Good morning :)
A: Babe, it's 9, you should probably be up by now.
A: Percy
A: Percy
A: Percy
A: Percy
A: Percy
A: Percy
A: Percy
A: Percy
A: Percy
A: Percy
A: Babe
A: It's 9:30, have you died? I don't want to be responsible for that. Your mother would kill me. I'd have to go into hiding or something.
A: I can see that you've read these messages.
A: ^^^
A: You
A: Have
A: Read
A: These
A: Babe
A: I can come embarrass you in front of all of your friends if you don't wake up, you know that, right? Because I'll do it.
