The Effects of Betrayal

Chapter 5

Percy's Point of View

I was honestly enjoying being a god so far, for starters I didn't have to worry about being killed by monsters, or the gods for that matter, but of course being able to get women or men without too much difficulty was certainly an added bonus. Sure I hadn't been with any men yet, but I was sure that I could if I tried since I had seen a few men eyeing me since I'd become a god.

I would probably tell Apollo about my feelings soon since I wouldn't see him as much once my lessons with him end. I was just trying to work up the nerve to do it. I knew that he was bi, or possibly even pansexual, I wasn't sure, I just knew that he had been with men before. The only story I knew was the one about him and Hyacinthus which had ended tragically like basically every other story from Ancient Greece.

Of course I was pretty sure my story wouldn't end tragically now since I was a god but I still wasn't one hundred percent sure. The only problems I had with telling him about my feelings were that I wasn't sure if he would share my feelings, and I also didn't know if he would stay loyal to me considering how he usually behaves.

But then again I wasn't sure I was ready to commit to one person either. I was still kind of worried about whether Apollo would stay loyal to me, and I couldn't deny that I had been enjoying spending time with Lisa and Olivia considering that time sometimes included sex. Of course I couldn't spend all my time with gorgeous women, and I still had to fulfill my duties as a god. I do still visit my family and friends sometimes. I'm not constantly looking for someone to have sex with. In fact I turn down most of the people who are interested in me. Especially since there are a lot of them nowadays.

At this point I've pretty much gotten used to the stares that I get from almost everyone I encounter on Olympus or in the mortal world. I still don't really like getting them though. Hell even Aphrodite tried to make a move on me once, I was kind of tempted to agree but I decided not to get caught up in the Olympian soap opera that already includes her, Ares and Hephaestus. I wasn't interested enough to warrant provoking Hephaestus and Ares. She seemed disappointed, but hasn't bothered me since. I was thankful for that and I just hoped she didn't know about what Olivia and I had done. That was another reason why I had refused Aphrodite. I don't think Olivia would have told her, especially since with the exception of myself the Roman gods rarely visit Camp Jupiter. Most of them usually only do it if a war is coming. Like when Juno and Mars visited there during the giant war. Some of them might contact their children through their dreams but I didn't know for sure. Either way I doubted Venus knew that I'd had sex with her daughter. Honestly, she probably wouldn't care even if she did know.

A few days passed without anything unusual going on, I fulfilled my duties as a god, visited my friends and family, and I spent one evening with Lisa.

Today I would be visiting Camp Half Blood. I left my palace, teleporting to the camp. I went to speak to Chiron first and he told me that everything at camp was normal, or at least as normal as you can get at a training camp for demigods.

After I finished talking to him I said hello to some of my friends. As I walked through camp I didn't see Nico anywhere, and I wanted to talk to him before I left since he was one of my friends. I asked a random demigod that I didn't recognize, "do you know where Nico is?

he replied, "Nico di Angelo? yeah he's in the Hades cabin. he's barely left the place since yesterday afternoon. I heard rumors that Will broke up with him,"

I was shocked to say the least, I didn't think Will would do that to Nico, he seemed like such a nice guy. Of course I knew that was just a rumor and might not even be true. I certainly found it hard to believe. I knew I might find out from Nico once we start talking. If he even wants to talk.
