        "What time do you think it is, young lady, to be getting home? Especially since the pageant ended hours ago while also being outside this very mansion?"

        "What time do you think it is, young lady, to be getting home? Especially since the pageant ended hours ago while also being outside this very mansion?" 

        Percy gave a sheepish wave while smiling nervously at Apollo, who sat on her bed with a flashlight shining under his face. 

      "Erm... too early to sleep?" the daughter of Poseidon basically asked with a nervous laugh while going towards her dresser. 

      It was barely silent for a second before the god spoke up, "Yes. It is too early to go to sleep. However, it is too late for you to return home." 

      Percy pursed her lips while glancing at the clock that read '12:13' before giving a shrug and starting to wipe away the excessive amount of makeup off with a makeup wipe. 

      Apollo gave a sigh before moving to behind her and laying his hands on her shoulder. 

     "While you're at it, it would be nice of you to give me a massage," Percy commented while grabbing another makeup wipe. Caroline really outdid herself with the makeup. 

       The god of the sun gave a shake of his head but did not argue with her. He watched as she hummed a tiny tune, which he recognized as 'I Hate Myself For Loving You' by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, with a schoolgirl smile on her face accompanied by a blissful look.

     Apollo, the ever-curious and overprotective best friend that he is, looked at Percy's reflection so as to try and be as sneaky as possible. He had a fleeting suspicion that her coming home hours late was because of Klaus and he was ready to jump to conclusions as fast as red signs flashed in his face. 

      "So where were you?" He asked as his thumbs went and started gliding over her tense muscles. 

      Percy's shoulders crinkled back for a quick second as she felt the quick effects of the god-given massage - literally. Then, as she pulled out another makeup wipe so as to go over her face another time, she gave a quick and small answer that confirmed his thoughts. 

      "With Klaus." 

       A smirk grew on his face as he tried to keep a steady pace with the massage. He then opened his mouth and made sure to watch her facial response through the reflection of the mirror, "You know... Uncle P is thinking of stopping by soon. Maybe even tomorrow."

     He said this as casual as possible, watching with glee as a newfound look of horror filled Percy's face and her hand stopped midwipe. 

    "Wh-wh-what?" Percy shakily asked as she shook his hands off her shoulders and turned to look at him. 

     "Yep, your little old Daddy-O is going to stop by. And I bet it would be a fun thing for him to find out about your little plaything," Apollo said, whispering the last sentence while unable to hide his delight from her reaction.
