Holes X Percy Jackson

Chapter 7

Jason's POV

Squid must've came back to his senses as he backed away from me. "I'm sorry.." He mumbles, but I think it was mostly to himself for letting his feelings take over. At least I think that is what happened. I've spent to much time around Thaila and her boyfriend's multiple fights. "Hey it's fine dude.." I said to him, slowly scooting a bit closer.

Squid's eyes flew open a tiny bit at my reaction then looked at me as if I wasn't even real. "It isn't?" He asked me. I nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I mean..you couldn't help it right?" I asked with a somewhat tilt of my head. I saw him nod his head. "But um..I'm still sorry." He said once again. My eyebrows furrowed together, "About that exactly?" I asked, being the one confused this time.

"This." He said so fast that I barely caught what he said, then I felt something soft on my lips. It took me a few mini seconds to figure out what it was. It was Squid! He's kissing me..oh my god..OH MY GOD! WAIT WAIT KISS BACK YOU IDIOT! I slowly kissed the male in front of me back, afraid that I was dreaming.

I knew that I wasn't when I felt hands on my sides. They were gentle compared to how rough and calloused they became by digging holes out in the sun all day. My hands rested on Squid's shoulders, running out of air quickly. If only I was a son of Posideon like Percy then I could hold my breath for a little longer then this. I pulled away for something we called air not long after. Squid looked me in the eye as I panted slightly, out of breath then...he quickly dashed out of the tent and into the summer heat.

Squid's POV

I ran as fast as I could out of that tent and to somewhere I didn't know. I only slowed down when one of the Sir's called out to me to slow my ass down, so I continued on my way by speed walking like a savage. I came to a stop behind the showers. My back pressed against one of the wooden stalls and slowly slid down until I was seated on the dusty ground.

'I kissed him,' Was one of my first thoughts. He probably hates me, but he kissed me back. I ran my fingers through my dirty black/ brown hair in deep thought. Does he like me like I do him? Or does he just feel sorry for me and didn't have a way to turn me down yet. Sighing, I played with my orange jumpsuit. Now I have to try my best to ignore him. That's not going to be easy. We sleep in the same tent, right next to each other!

After ranting to myself, I finally stood up from the ground. I stretched to pop my limps and started my way back to the tent. Ideas kept running through my mind on how this was going to work out. While thinking, I almost ran into ZigZag. "Geez man, watch where ya going." He said in his usual way. "Sorry Ziggy, got some things on my mind." I explained.

"I could tell." He said to me as we fell into step together, on our way to the tent. "Is it that obvious?" I asked. When I saw him nod, I sigh and run my fingers through my hair once again. I felt Ziggy's glaze on me, but I ignored it and tried to focus my mind on something or someone other then Jason Grace. Then, just my luck, a blond haired cutie appeared in front of me with his hands folded across his chest. "We need to talk." Jason said.
