When he woke that morning, he knew there was something missing already in his bed. There was something warm there, that wasn't there now. He tried to remember what happened last night, but as he rose from his bed, a pang of head ache came to him. Though, he was glad that whatever those were, it wasn't his nightmare. Yes, there's still something dark in him, but it wasn't as hard as it could have been, at least not today or last night. He looked at his old anchor-shaped clock, it was already 11 in the morning. Oh, he had been able to sleep quiet long, so not like him.

Oh.

Then, he also remember, he slept almost morning.

He had also been drunk. Maybe it had been the reason why Tartarus didn't visit him last night. Maybe he should drink a lot more, if this was apt to happen. Then he remembered, he was drunk with someone.

He was drunk with Jason.

Gods, Percy, what have you done? But he couldn't yet remembered. He only prayed that he didn't do anything stupid. Of course, he didn't, he wouldn't.

His head still hurt, he gave a big sigh. He shouldn't have drink a lot yesterday, it had been so late. Then, as he wasn't able to see a while ago, there had been some aspirin, a veil of nectar and bits of ambrosia placed above bedside cabinet, beside his lamp. He first drink some water, it helped a lot. It should be, water had always been a cure to him. After some gulp, he drink the aspirin, eat some ambrosia and lastly, the taste of nectar. After, just a taste of those, he was already feeling a lot better. Surely, after he take a bath he would be good as new.

Standing, he saw the bottle of wine on the floor, still standings and still quite unfinished, a few gulps more. He brought the bottle into his mouth and took a tentative gulp. Well, that should have been worth it, it must have been one of those wines that Leo kept (ugh Leo) had stored if there will be celebrations on the ship, he was happy he consumed it. Well, it was good, he was almost not sorry about getting drunk. Well, he would not be after he is cured.

Well, he was glad whoever put those things in his night stand, it had been very helpful. Maybe Annabeth had done it. Then his heart start to beat faster, no it couldn't have Annabeth, she wasn't able to see him drunk, she didn't know, and she should have been busy with Piper. It must, must have been... Jason. His heart is still racing as he process the thought in his mind, as some of the memories came surging into him.

He pushed the thoughts away from his mind, and went to shower. He will just think of it there, he had always been better at thinking and processing thoughts during showers.

Grabbing the spare clothing, and a towel from his room on the ship, he went to take a shower. He had already been shirtless, so he undress himself to naked. What happened last night? Surely, there couldn't have been anything stupid? Or any stupid stunt with Jason? Had he wanted something to happen? With Jason, what is he even thinking, he felt himself a bit hot.

Then, all came back to him. He remembered most, he saw Jason sad, then he came to him outside, and they talked, and it went weird, because it came actually nice, them talking warm. It never been the way they had talked. Why had it been like that? Yet, he liked it, more than a bit. It was almost like the way he had imagined their conversation would be. He felt like, last night was the most real conversation, and it was the truest of themselves, than they had been for the first time in very long.
