Percy and you had been friends for a long time, been together through bad and good, thick and thin. Growing up together you both created a very strong bond that no one could break and Percy really did love and admired your friendship.

Late nights of talking until midnight turned into nights of Percy overhearing his thoughts over and over again, he had been avoiding you for a while now because he was…scared. He began questioning his sexuality and sometimes even cried to the thought of falling in love with you, scared people would mark him off as a freak.

He was feeling things he shouldn’t around you, butterflies when you defended him and he blushed whenever you were close, that wasn’t normal..he was a boy and so were you.

one night all the campers were around the campfire sitting on the logs and Percy was there too when he spotted you approaching the campfire, he suddenly got nervous and felt like his skin was burning. You sat down beside him and he smiled awkwardly and in a shaky, nervous voice greeted you

O-oh hi, I-i didn’t know you were coming..

he nervously laughed it off
