Percy

A week later we had this really nice house that also had an outdoor pool and everything. It was really nice, and we all have our own rooms.

It was nice.

So Beckendorf and myself figured we could invite others over. Nico hasn't seen the house yet. Nobody has aside us and the movers. We sent out the address and gave them a time. Be there. Bring your swim suits, too.

Nico

We had no idea what this was about, but we went anyways. It was too far from where Rachel lived, so we picked her up, too. We we're all invited by Percy and Beckendorf.

And what we had pulled up to was this beautiful place. It looked nice, taken care of, and new. A modern house.

"I'm sorry." Silena was about as confused as I was when we got our of car. "What is this? They can't... They can't afford this."

"Maybe they're renting it for a party." Leo suggested. "my cousin did that once. I heard everyone got drunk. He was hungover the next day. But there's either going to be a ton of alcohol here or not a drop. Same goes for weed."

"Beckendorf smokes dope." Luke assured him. "I don't know if he'll share, though. Pot is expensive."

"I... How do you know that?" Out of all people, I would've expected Octovain to be the one on drugs, but he was clueless.

"High school."

That was the end of that. We went up to the door, and knocked.

We we're dragged inside, and the next thing I knew, we we're in a rich person's house and left alone. Just kind of looking around. Amazed that somebody could afford this. This was nicer than Rachel's house.

Jason was the one to say what we we're all thinking.

"Do you think they broke in?"

Suddenly we heard a tapping from the back and we we're cautious going out. Thinking maybe this was a huge recruiting.

And we got shoved into the pool. All of us.

It came out of my mouth as soon as I surfaced.

"WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT—"

I saw my boyfriend in the pool, looking at me.

"Hey, babe."

The others started laughing. Not because I reacted. But because I was caught off guard when I see Percy. The other weren't the happiest about this earlier.

"But seriously," Silena was all nice with her boyfriend and all. "What the fuck?"

They got a kick out of it and let us out. Thanks to Percy being Poseidon's kid, he was able to dry us off almost instantly.

"So you dragged us all the way out here," Luke started. "To break into somebody's house and shove us in a pool?"

"What?" Percy asked, confused. "We didn't break in."

"You're renting this place?" Rachel sounded shocked. "How?"

"No," Beckendorf explained. "We went to look at places last week. Sally found an account from her parents and uncle. Turns out they were millionares. We didn't have room in that tiny apartment. We had to move. We liked this place. It worked with the money we had. They got it. The others are gone, though. Sally and Dad are with my siblings for school registration. The other three are looking at colleges because they'll have to register for the spring semester."

Heading back inside, they showed us around this huge fucking house and it was really nice, obviously. But I suck around for a while after the others left, and it was relaxing. His room was. He still had the photo of us by his bed. The pride flag was above his bed and there was a bunch of photos taped to one of the walls. He had some posters and what not scattered, too. Then there was a little desk with succulents.

You could see the entire city from here.

It was late, though. Everyone was home, to their own rooms. Percy and I were snuggling in his huge ass bed when I realized something.

I had been talking to Luke earlier today about it. He's been dating this guy and they're really good together. And somehow the topic of sex came up and he told me that they had had sex. Of course they have.

So when I thought about it... I mean, there wasn't a reason that I haven't had full on sex with Percy. Not for me, at least. I don't know. We did something when we got together right away and we haven't done much since. And it wasn't much. A blowjob at the most.

I figured there couldn't be too much harm to asking Percy about it.

"Mi Amo."

Percy's attention shifted to me as he looked down. Signaling for me to go on.

"This is just from a conversation that was had earlier." J explained it before I just straight up asked about sex. "I know that you're like not huge into sex, and I mean, I'm not earlier. I could care less. But why don't you care for it?"

"I just..." Percy shrugged, and I had feeling that this was going to be really person. "Have bad connection to it, I guess? I mean, my parents have need touched me. Gabe never did. It was middle school. 8th grade. And I mean, I didn't have any friends. So these kids were real nice to me and I thought maybe they could be my friend. But then one of them raped me and you know... It was miserable. I'd probably have a panic attack if we got to that level. That is why Annabeth and I never did anything. As soon as her hand touched my chest, I couldn't do it."

It was quiet for a few minutes as we laid there, and I was about to say something before I realized he had fallen asleep.

I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Good night, Mi Amore."
