Detroit: Meet Percy Jackson *Complete*

Chapter 23: Media Find's Out

July 8, 2039

Because some humans were allowed at the androids celebration, there was some reporters there as well.

As a result, on the front page of the news, was an image of Percy and Markus, in an embrace. Each holding the others waist as they stared at one another. Just cut out of frame, was North and the others creeping up on them.

The headlines were all about Markus' mysterious lover and why hadn't they learned anything about him sooner.

Because it was during the night, and the moment that was captured hadn't lasted long, Percy's face was a bit more blurry then Markus' had been. As a result, the media was going crazy about who the mysterious person could probably be.

Enough that Markus couldn't get any work done and was being asked for interviews upon interviews. Trying to get him to respond to who his lover was and what their name and if they were human or android.

Markus went for 'No Comment' each time, but by the third day, Markus was starting to get annoyed.

"We can do an interview," Percy said quietly as they relaxed in the bed they shared in Percy's apartment.

Currently, because of all the stress, Percy was attempting to give the android a message to get out some of the tension that had been adding the past few days from reporters and people following Markus in an attempt to get a picture of Percy.

Mrs.O'Leary was lying at the end of the bed, feeling more tension in the past few days then any other months before as she read her master's emotions and could tell there was something wrong.

"Are you sure, love?" Markus asked with a soft moan as Percy worked on a knot in his back.

"I might have to beef up the security at the aquarium, and we should probably think about getting our own place that's not an apartment, but I've been looking at apartments anyway. If we give it a few days, we can maybe find an apartment and quickly get it prepared while we do the interview," Percy asked shyly and with a slight blush as he admitted to wanting to properly move into a place of their own.

"Are you sure?" Markus asked as he shifted from Percy to actually look at the android.

"I'm sure," Percy said softly, leaning down and giving the android a kiss.

Markus looked at Percy, love reflecting in his eyes as his hands rested on his boyfriend's cheeks. "You are amazing, I hope you know this."

Percy gave a soft smile, and turning his head slightly, he gave on of the hands a kiss in the palm before shifting off the bed and grabbing his personal laptop and bringing it back to bed.

"I can show you some of the places I've looked at before. I priced them out from both of our money, especially since you have started to sell most of the paintings you've been working on."

Markus nodded and curled next to Percy as he laid back into the bed. Most of the night was spent looking at houses and planning their future together.

"So, can you tell us how exactly you two met?" A reporter from Channel 21 asked as Markus and Percy designated the station to asking for the private interview.

After some looking, they decided that the channel, or more importantly Jacob Banks, would be trustworthy and not twist their words at all. Especially as the interview was live after some debating between Markus and his friends.

"Well, I guess we have to thank Eli for that," Percy said thoughtfully, his hand was grasped in Markus' the only sign that he was nervous for the interview at all.
