Secrets- Percy Jackson one-shots

Affection

Warnings: None

*After Tartarus

No one noticed at first, it was a small change after Annabeth and Percy got out of Hell itself. It wasn't bad, not like the nightmares or the flashbacks, or the undying guilt Percy felt, so no it wasn't bad but, it occasionally did make things awkward between the group, particularly with the guys. While Annabeth buried herself in work and thinking of ways to defeat Gaea, Percy had a different way of coping.He got a lot more touchy feely, whether it was grasping someone's wrist or hand while being near them, or it was resting his head on their shoulder, or giving them a surprise hug, Percy just really needed physical contact.

Now, this wouldn't be as bad if Annabeth hadn't withdrawn so much, after Tartarus she seemed to do better if people didn't touch her unless it was Percy but she had a limit even for him. So this resulted in some team bonding, it started with Hazel; she and Frank were standing by the edge of the ship, Hazel, while trying not to throw up, felt a tap on her shoulder. Standing behind her was Percy, face red, he was fidgeting with the hem of his shirt, "Percy, do you need anything?" Hazel had asked, keeping her voice light.

"Um," He had started out awkwardly, "Can I, um, hold your hand?"

Before Hazel answered Percy started to ramble, "It's just that, Annabeth is busy and doesn't want to see anyone right now and I don't want to be a bother but I'm, um, uh," He trailed off, now finding his shoes for interesting.

Hazel blinked in shock, she locked eyes with Frank who, in response, shrugged his shoulders, " Uh sure," She gave a light nod,"You can hold my hand."

She heard him mumble a small "Thanks" before he gripped her hand. She kept her attention on Frank, carrying on their previous conversation, she felt Percy fiddle with her fingers. Hazel's attention diverted to Percy and she watched as he moved her fingers back and forth, it was weird but Hazel smiled at the sight.

The second person was Leo, who at the moment was setting the ship to autopilot, he jumped when he felt strong arms wrap around his waist and a head bury itself in his back. He looked over his shoulder, and a small smile snuck onto his face when he saw a mop of black hair, WhatchadoingHazel had told the other about their bondiWhatcha doing Percy." Leo asked.

He heard a muffled, "Hugging you." In response

"Not that I'm not happy about this," Leo shifted his weight, "But why?"

"I was cold," Percy replied, lifting his head a bit, "And your warm."

Leo let out a chuckle, "Well are you going to continue to cling to me like a koala or do you want an actual hug."

Percy's grip loosened and Leo turned around, wrapping his arms around Percy, they stayed like that for a while before Leo decided to say,  "Dude this is like, really gay."

Percy snorted and Leo felt his figure shake with laughter, "Dude, it is." Percy countered

The third person it happened to was the most awkward towards Percy's affection, and that person was none other than Jason Grace. He swears he almost had a heart attack when it happened. It was after encountering a couple tricky monsters and everybody was exhausted. Jason sat leaning against the side of the Argo II. Then, completely out of nowhere, Percy came up and laid down, putting his head right into Jason's lap, Percy seemed relaxed and his eyes were closed contently, Jason, on the other hand, was stiffer than a board, his breath hitched, how was he supposed to react to this, of course, he has heard Hazel and Leo's stories about the affectionate son of Poseidon, but that was reasonable, I mean Hazel and Leo were great, especially for touchy feely stuff, but Jason? Yeah no.

"Um," Jason didn't know what to say. Was he even supposed to say anything,"What are you doing?"

Percy stretched, raising his arms above his head, he cracked one eye open," It'skindI'm relaxing Sparky, you should try it."

" It's kind of hard when you're laying on me." Jason retorted.

"Just, I dunno, lower your shoulders, Hades, you can run your hand through my hair if you want."

Jason felt as if the last part was something Percy actually wanted, and not a suggestion for him to relax. He heard snickering and locked eyes with Piper, who was trying to stifle her giggles, he shot her a look that screamed help me. Piper shook her head and gestured back toPercy, who was still very content with using Jason as a pillow. Jason sighed through his nose before hesitantly running a hand through Percy's ebony locks. Percy hummed, a smile gracing his face and the longer it went on the more Jason relaxed. Maybe it wasn't as bad as originally thought.

The next Person was Piper, it wasn't while on board the Argo II, it was on Olympus after the war had ended. They were standing in front of the Gods, Zeus was complimenting them on their job well done. Percy was standing beside Piper who was both facing the Gods with unwavering attention, Piper suddenly felt something snake around her pinkie finger, she quickly looked down, noticing that Percy had linked their fingers together, she glanced up and saw that Percy had a slight blush adorning his cheeks and ears. Piper smiled at him, ignoring the odd look she got from her Mother.

Next was Frank, it was during Camp Half-Blood's sing along; Percy was slowly dozing off and he decided the best place for his head would be Frank's shoulder. He wasn't surprised when it happened, Percy doing things like this has become normal for the seven to endure, and to be frank (Haha) with you, everyone had started to enjoy it, they all needed some comfort and Percy was the best person to go to for it, "Comfortable?"Frank asked an amused smile on his face.

"Very,"Percy sighed, "But sorry if I'm bothering you."

"You're not, you can continue."

"Good, "Percy replied, snuggling further into Frank.

The next day, neither Percy nor Annabeth showed up to breakfast and it was Frank who was sent to wake them up. He knocked on the door forCabin Three and after no response, he decided it was safe enough to go inside. Closing the door softly behind him he smiled at the sight, there, in Percy's bed, was Annabeth, who was curled up on Percy's side. Percy, who had an arm around Annabeth's waist, was curled around her, Frank was surprised they could even get that close to each other. He was happy that even after everything, Percy andAnnabeth still loved each other, and even if Annabeth didn't like physical contact as much anymore, Frank was happy the couple could still have moments like this.

Frank left them like that, it was too cute of a sight to disturb.

The End

So this is the Fluffiest thing I've ever written!

I was considering adding Nico but I didn't know how that would play out so I stuck with just the Seven.

Anyway, I'm going Camping this weekend and I'm hyped, It's also Canada Day weekend AKA Jason's B-day so there's also that.

Hope you enjoyed, Requests are welcome and I hope you have a fantastic day!!

BYE BYE!
