He Just Seemed So Far Away (Percy Jackson) (Percy x Grover)

Chapter Five

Grover

He didn't respond, and when I looked back at him, I noticed he had fallen asleep.

Which meant I was stuck here for a while. Until he woke up.

Now, yeah, like I said, I am bi. I haven't dated too many guys just because it's hard when most kids at camp aren't bi or gay. I've dated Juniper and that just... It was okay until I wasn't allowed to really do anything on my own and she got really clingy for no reason.

And I do care about Percy. I've never really figured out what I think of him.  If I care about him like a friend or a brother or something more than they, like a boyfriend or something, I've never been sure. So I stayed away from it. Focused on other emotions. But now he's using me as pillow and I really don't have much of a choice but think about it. Aside sleeping.

Plus, knowing what I do about him makes it a little different. Had I not known anything, we'd be cause dead like this. But maybe it's because I know about him now and I guess I don't have to worry about the rejection or something.

Either way, we both feel asleep on the couch.

I've been saying that Percy's gay for years now. Of course, I don't actually say anything because I'm not like that. But I've been thinking it and he decided he was breaking up with Annabeth.

Well, when he got home, he found her replacement pretty quick. And it was a guy.

Grover, to be more exact. And it wasn't completely like that sort of thing. But something happened, his face looked like maybe he had a break down or something and Grover could've been hugging him and Percy just fell asleep.

But you can't tell me that that's normal and that Percy doesn't have feelings for Grover. I've watched how he is with Grover. Trust me. There are feelings involved.

Due to having guests over to dinner, we did have to move Percy and Grover. It wasn't anyone fancy, just my parents. But my parents are very uptight and if somebody is sleeping in the living room during a meal, they're not.

"Where's Percy?" My dad asked me as Sally was finishing up making dinner, my mom helping her out.

"He wasn't feeling the best," I explained to my dad. Who is homophobic. My mom isn't, but my dad is. "He's laying down right now, figured we could let him sleep another half hour or so. Wake him up once dinner is actually ready."

"Aw, that's a bummer." He tried to keep the conversation going. "Is his girlfriend going to be here? She was a doll."

"Annabeth?" I asked and he nodded his head. "No, she won't be here. They broke up. He does have a friend here, just not a romantic interest."

"That's a shame. She was a good girl." My dad remarked. "Well behaved. Knew where she was meant to be as a woman in this world. Hard to find women like that now a days. Hopefully he'll find one soon enough."

This is why Annabeth stayed in that kitchen. So she didn't have to listen to my dad talk about his sexist ways.

It was maybe 15 minutes later when Percy got up. Asked Mom is we had moved him and she told him yeah. Being my parents are here.

"Got it." Percy said as he was still in the process of walking up. "Uh... What's for dinner? Do you need any help?"

"We're having ribs," Sally told her son as Grover emerged from the hall. "But we're good. Thank you."

"You're a man, Percy." My father reminded him, which had both Grover and Percy's attention. "You don't go in the kitchen. That's a woman's job."

Percy looked at my dad for a second before looking at my mom.
