(9)It Ends with Jercy

The next couple chapters are gonna be shorter. This is dedicated to   @ThatGayGirl666

She gave me small suggestion for it when I had writers block. It may be small, but every little thing counts I guess.

Leo

After Nico and I had left the room, I felt better, so much better. Dinner was approaching us though and we needed to get to the Mess Hall before we were late. Both of us changed clothing, or into something meant for dry land. I grabbed a white long sleeve and rolled up the sleeves. I had my suspenders on, but they were hanging next to my legs. They were clipped, but they hung from my back to the front of my legs.

Nico and I were making our way to the Mess Hall when Chiron pulled us aside. I raised my eyebrow, but Nico looked like he saw this coming, so I'm going to let him do most the talking.

"Boys, I'm required by the police to ask you two what happened, you specifically Leo. We asked Ms.Hazel and she told us just as one of the men tried, some, things. You punched him, after he slapped her. Then, when she tried again, you got up and did the same. Can you tell me what happened from start to finish?" I nodded, not really wanting to, but I did so anyway. Nico cut in when his part came.

After that chat, we left for the Mess Hall. I stopped right when we got to the doorway. What if everyone surrounds me? I'm sure they will- but still. Nico tugged my hand, I looked over at him.

"C'mon. It'll be fine. If we can get to Jason and Percy, then I'm sure they'll help you out. I know what you're thinking, people will ask you loads of questions. But, just get to Jercy and you'll be good." I raised an eyebrow, laughing.

"Jercy?" Nico shrugged, saying something about Piper making a, 'ship name'. Once I calmed my laughter, I grabbed the Mess Hall door and gently pulled it open. The usual sounds of conversation and laughter was silenced for the most part and all eyes was on Nico and I. But, I let go of Nico and grabbed his sleeve, pulling him towards our table.

Nico said he didn't want people knowing about our, status' yet. So, I'm respecting that. People jumped up as soon as we neared the table, so we broke into a run. Nico sat next to Hazel and Frank, and I dove under the table. Percy looked at me, confusion on his face, so I answered.

"As much as I love the attention. I hate it. So, could you kindly hide me from the world?" Percy laughed and told Jason what I'd said over the loud sounds of the Mess Hall.

Percy's POV

"Leo said he's having a love/hate relationship with the attention he's getting." I told Jason. He laughed and nodded, pushing a couple people away as Leo pulled himself out from under the table. Eventually, the staff managed to pry the people away from our table, leaving Leo with a sigh of relief.

Just as the Piper was about to say something, a loud voice spoke in front of everyone. Chiron explained how the two guys were arrested and taken away, and that no one got hurt. Then, got to the fun part. "Tonight, we're gonna be starting the nightly Campfire. So meet us at the campfire and hour after this dinner!" Everyone cheered and I whooped. I hope there are marshmallows.

Everyone finished their food quickly, after idle conversation. We left the Mess Hall, wondering what to do for the next hour. We had time to kill. I'd love to go and prank someone. Like go into one of the other cabin's with a jar of pickles. And fill everyone's pillows with pickles. That'd be fun, I must try that some time. But, I was unfortunately tired and wanted to sleep. With everything that's happened today, I wanted to just build a pillow fort and curl myself in all of the pillows, then sleep in a cocoon. Yup, that sounds like me.

I must've been subconsciously leaning on Jason. Because he picked me up easily and raised and eyebrow at me. "You tired Water Teen?" I pouted.

"Don't call me that." He smirked and walked over to the cabin, probably because I mistakenly yawned during that sentence.

"Okay, how about Sea Prince." Even though it had male implications. I took it. Jason took my silence as a win and I let him. Piper, and Annabeth decided to go see what their was to do. Frank and Hazel went to the volleyball and nets. Then Leo and Nico decided to go to the simple swordplay arena. That was all Nico probably, Leo just went with because it's his ONE. TRUE. LOVE.

Jason carried me back to the cabin with no trouble and I was starting to think maybe I was a little underweight. Or that Jason was just generally bigger than me. I'm gonna go with number 2. I was set down when we got to the door. I didn't like it, but didn't complain as we walked in. A went straight for Jason and mine's bedroom. Opening the door, I strode in, flopping down on the bed. Jason came in soon after. "Tired are we?" I rolled my eyes, even though I was starting to nod off.

"Shut up Grace." My voice was muffled a bit, due to being pressed against the blankets. The blonde chuckled and sat on the bed next to me. I felt the dip on the mattress and a hand on my back, rubbing circles. I looked up at the bigger male and smirked at him, my eyes still drooping. He held a confused expression.

"What?" I kept my facial expression.

"You're so hesitant, so nervous. It's a-dork-able." Jason's face went red and I snickered, pulling myself back up again. I was tired, but needed help telling my mind that. So, I turned to Jason," Hey, if you were to have a son. What would you name him?" Jason seemed taken by surprised, but answered.

"Maybe, Jacks. Or Kris." He turned to me, countering the question. "What about you?" I thought for a moment and the best thing came to me.

"Jack. That way, one day I could call him Jack Jackson. Or say, 'Jack, son, you are a Jackson." Jason laughed and let himself fall on the pillows of our beds pushed together, I slowly laid down next to him, my body AND mind getting tired.

Jason, noticing this. Slowly wrapped an arm around myself, pulling me close. I was too tired to shoot some sassy or witty remark back. Letting out a sigh in content. I just let it happen, falling asleep in the blonde's arms.
