Percy Jackson Genderfluid Fic

Part 1

Percy stood in his bedroom alone. He pulled out a straightener and fixed his hair. He took out his eyeliner pencil and carefully put it on. A light blush eyeshadow, dark blue nail polish, and mascara to top it all off and he was done. He looked in the mirror at himself. He wore a dark blue lace dress. I look alright. He twirled around and let the dress fly up around him.

It was December and he was home with his mom and Paul for Christmas. They had gone out shopping and he'd opted to stay home and "rest". He had bought the dress the night before, but really wasn't sure why. At the time he figured Annabeth would look good in it, but now he wasn't sure he wanted to give it to her. It fit him perfectly. He felt so good.

He pulled out his phone and took a selfie. It was rare that he felt this good, so he wanted to document this moment. He actually looked feminine. It was just boggling his mind. He walked out of his room and plugged his phone into the stereo system. To the window to the wall to the wall, Percy sang as he twerked along.

Suddenly his phone buzzed, cutting off the music. He turned off the stereo and answered it. "Hello?"

"Hey Percy it's Jason."

"Hey bro what's up?"

"I was just gonna see if you were at your house currently. I'm currently in Manhattan, if you want to hang"

"Uh yeah dude I'd love to. When will you be here?"

"In a few minutes." Percy's stomach dropped.

"Alright, see you then!" He hung up and bolted to the bathroom. He found his mom's makeup removing face wash and dumped most of the contents onto his hands. He scrubbed his face until he was sure there wasn't a trace of makeup and rinsed his face. He heard the doorbell ring and panicked. I'm still in a dress! "Just a second!" he yelled as he ran down the hallway to his bedroom, dress halfway unzipped and mostly over his head. He grabbed a pair of basketball shorts and a shirt and put them on.

"Jeez Percy how long does it take to open a door?" Jason joked from the hallway.

Percy jumped to the door and opened it. "Sorry dude I was in the shower. Come on in."

"Thanks man. Hope you don't mind, but I have Piper with me. She's always wanted to spend Christmas in New York. Piper walked in, beautiful as ever, and gave Percy a hug.

"Nice to see you Perc."

"You too. Come on in, sit down." Percy motioned to a couch and a few recliners in the center of the room. They sat down and talked about their lives since college started. Jason and Piper were attending USC in California, while Percy was still in New York, going part time at NYU. It didn't seem like too long, but it was midnight, and Piper was ready to go to sleep. As they were walking out, Piper gave Percy a hug and mumbled into his shoulder, "I like the eyeliner." Percy's heart jackhammered.

"You can still see it?"

"Yeah, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"See ya bro." Jason said as they headed out the door.

Percy dashed into the bathroom and looked at his eyes. Traces of eyeliner were still visible under his eyes. Tears welled up and slowly rolled down his face. Why am I like this?!
