PERCY

"Going back on topic, I summoned you here to discuss about—" I looked at the Gods and Kronos having a staring contest at the moment and forced myself to not sigh out loud

It's already been a few hours since the arrival of Kronos, and everyone is still trying to figure out who he is. I already introduced him as my nephew, but it seems that they noticed that something was off and was trying to find out what that was

Kronos was sitting upright in his chair, his arms crossed over his chest. He was staring at his children who was also in return, staring at him with intensity. Now, I don't usually have any problem with that, but it seems like Kronos and the Big Three along with Kronos' other children were releasing some sort of pressure to the other, trying to see who will submit first. It was making the campers uncomfortable.

"If you are going to stare at each other for the rest of the day, silently fighting to see who is greater than who, then would you kindly please take it outside? The campers can't concentrate with you releasing such a pressuring aura. We are here to discuss about an important matter, and I can't have it delayed just because the lot of you decided that you wanted to see who was better"

Kronos instantly snapped his gaze to mine, before mumbling a low "Sorry"

The said Olympians lowered their heads and muttered a low 'sorry' in my direction

I silently sighed while rubbing my temple "Immortals, they're such a pain in the arse"

Luke snorted "Aren't you also one?"

I gave him a cheeky grin "I never said that I was not trouble, did I? I only said that immortals are such a pain to deal with"

"Glad you're proud in being a pain in the butt" Luke rolled his eyes at me

I winked at him and was about to retort when Kronos nudge me "You didn't stop us just so you could talk with your retainer now, did you Uncle?"

I twitched at the teasing sound of his voice when he called me Uncle. I pouted at him "Cheeky brat" I gruffly said, imitating Atlas when I did something that always startles him

Kronos stifled a laugh behind his hand, before whispering "Nice imitation"

I grinned at him "What can I say? I'm awesome that way"

Kronos rolled his eyes, although the grin in his lips didn't falter "Just like your grandpa, are you?" He silently cooed while pinching my cheeks

I blushed when the Gods and the campers raised a brow at our interaction

I slapped Kronos's hands away, pouting at him, while crossing my arms "Don't pinch me, I'm not a child"

Kronos stared at me before he clenched his fists, he started vibrating on his seat making the other occupants in the room to look at him with confused eyes

I, beginning to worry laid my hand on his shoulder "Pappoús?" I softly called out, making sure no one heard me

Before I could even react, Kronos launched forward, locking his arms around me and taking the breath out of my now squeezed body "You are just so adorable!!"

I blushed a scarlet red and tried to wriggle out of his grasp "Grandpa" I silently hissed while struggling to make him let go "Let go!!"

Kronos only tightened his hold on me, now ruffling my hair through the hood "Oh, I have not seen you for a few days and you became this adorable"

I looked at Luke and the boys for help, but they were too busy laughing silently. I glared at them from the floor "Bastards, help me!!"
