Percy

At least Will was respectful about the whole sex thing. He seemed thrown off by the dates at first, though. But then again, I did go right after Nico. So he probably put two and two together.

When he came back after a moment being Apollo requested him, he must've grabbed an old file of mine.

"So I'm going to pester you for a minute." Will told me as he looked at something for a minute. "Because you're an independent now and it's three years overdue."

"Hm?" I asked him.

"You need a mental health screening." The son of Apollo explained. "I'm not too concerned about your mental health, you seemed to cope well after your mom died, but it's just something that's supposed to be done when you're like 13 and you're 16. It's overdue. If anything, it shows that you still have ADHD and Dyslexia."

"Oh, okay," I repsonded, remembering having one of those when I was little. Gabe complained the whole time because it costed money. "How much will it cost?"

"Nothing," he told me which surprised me a bit. "Camp doesn't have medical fees. Well, there's one for surgery but it can normally be traded off with chores or something."

"Oh, got it." I said and thought about that. That wasn't a way to make money. "When should I get that done?"

"It'll take five minutes to get ready if you want to do it now."

"That works."

So I got a screening and had to wait a few minutes before he came back with results. Not the best results, but results.

"Alright," Will said and sat down, giving me a copy of the scan. It looked not like what I learned in health class. "So, good news, your ADHD has calmed down a lot. Meaning you can take yourself off of those. I'd take normal dosage today and then slowly being it down."

"That is good." I agreed with that, figuring I kind of knew that it was getting better.

"You dyslexia is still there, hut that's more of a demigod thing, your brain not being wired for English."

"That's it?"

"No." Will told me and pointed out the like structure to me. "It's not severe, which is the good news. But signs of PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, are very apparent in the scans and certain behaviors. Like I said, it's not critical. I'll give you medication for it. But is there anything outside of camp and the recent masses of death that have happened that might cause you this?"

"How recent are we talking?"

"Anything from your birth to now." Will clarified for me. "Anything that caused an impact on you. Is there anything?"

I thought about it and nodded my head.

"Yeah," I answered his question, nodding my head, thinking back. "when I was 12, my brother died and that was really hard. It kind of messed with me as a person a lot. And then my mom's ex husband kind of like beat me as a kid. A lot. I feel like that should speak for itself."

"Very much so." Will agreed and told me he'd be right back. So I waited there until he showed up and gave me my new prescriptions.

After that, I dropped it off in my cabin and found my boyfriend in my room. Just relaxing. Waiting for me being it was double date night.

"Hey, that took a lot longer than mine." Nico remarked being I went right after him. "You alright?"

"Hm? Yeah!" I assured him as he grabbed my hand and I sat down next to him. "I was overdue on my like mental illness scan so Will just had me do it while I was there."

"Oh!" Nico said and nodded his head. "Anything to worry about?"

"I don't think so, no." I told my boyfriend. "I'm off ADHD meds, my dyslexia is just there, and there's just a touch of PTSD from like when I was younger. Nothing severe."

"Good," he said, resting his head on my shoulder for a minute. "He didn't say I had anything wrong with me, so. Told me to eat a lot of fatty foods and gain back weight. But that... Oh, no. Wait. He wanted us to get colonoscopy."

"Us?"

"Well he said I should get one and my boyfriend should to be safe," Nico clarified for me. "So that would mean us, yes."

"Oh, yeah, he told me the same thing." I remembered that. "He suggested that anyone that has anal has it and I like it in the butt, so...."

"You also don't know how to be quiet when you get it in the butt."

I scoffed.

"Okay, you know what," I told my boyfriend, wrapping an arm around him and giving him a kiss on the temple. "You love it."

"I do," he agreed, giving me a quick kiss. "But you need to change for our double date, otherwise you're not getting it in the butt."

Clarisse

I still can't believe Percy lost his virginity before I did. Or Nico. Like, what the hell.

Getting ready for the date, I was feeling good about myself and I was confident, so I threw on something I'd probably never wear around my aunt. She'd go on for days about exposing my skin and how it's sinful.

Which, it wasn't that bad. It showed my cleavage, sure. My legs were pretty exposed from half of the thigh down.

I was feely good about myself.

And I mean, I next to never put on makeup, but I did. It was bold, my eyeliner could cut a bitch, and I liked it.

Stepping out the bathroom, I went to grab a pair of heels and Grover got back from his check up. He already had his clothes on for the date, he'd just need to like comb his hair quick, there was a few curls that weren't listening.

"Hey, Clarisse, what t—" Grover said we I heard the door close. "Woah."

"Hm?" I responded, looking over at my boyfriend. It's kind of rare that I dress like this. "What? You like it?'

"I love it." He responded, flashing me a while and walking over to me, placing his hands on my hips. "You're beautiful."

"Aw, babe," I said, wrapping my one arm around him and fixing that one fucking curl with the other hand. "you are, too. How much you wanna bet that Percy and Nico argue like an old married couple even though it's only been what? A month?"

"Oh my gods, I don't know if I want to listen to it." Grover joked. "No, according to Percy they like never argue. But then again, it's only been a month."

This was true.

We met Nico and Percy at camp borders. They cleaned up nice, as well. And we made it to dinner. Almost had finished our food when we received a distress call for a recruiting.

3 demigods. One of which had amnesia, another of which was the daughter of some famous dude, and then an orphan. All the same age.

And were called because our recruiters are currently on a rescue party for Thalia. Her ass went missing last week.

So we got to this boarding school hell place that Hedge was watching after until he like died in the war and it's a mess. We've had watch on the school this last month.

Now they're about to he attacked by a shit ton of monsters I've never had to deal with. None of us have.

They were Roman monsters.

Like shit, the Romans hate us, but we remain separated. When Percy took over we attempted for a meeting because we had one when Luke took over. Just a little hour long meeting to say hey, we have a new leader.

Their new leader, I don't know who she is, but from what I hear, she's kind of extra and a bit too much.

She refuses to do anything with us. Anything. It's so annoying.

But we beat the shit out of these things and Nico saved our asses as he shadowed all of us back to camp. Which made him light headed really quick.

"Are you okay?" Percy asked his boyfriend, who grabbed onto his shoulder like he'd fall if he didn't hold on. And Nico nodded his head after a minute.

"Mhm," he hummed lightly. "That... Bad idea... I'm gonna uh... Sleep, yeah. Sleep."

"Can you make it to your cabin alone?" Grover asked, probably sensing how drained he was.

He nodded his head light before starting to walk and he couldn't.

"Alright, come on," Percy said, not trusting his boyfriend to not faint half way to the cabin. He walked over to help him. "I'll be back in a little bit guys. Just like... The orientation film is what I'd do."

We could manage that, so we brought them to the Big House and got orientation ready for them. Chiron and Mr. D are busy enough as it is, recruits are like not to be bothered in their world right now. 

Percy

I got back to the Big House right before they finished the video, so I could grab files for them. While the other two got tours, I'd like talk to one of them and answer questions and like make their file.

I did Jason first, he wasn't much help for his file, but he easily accepted everything. He has amnesia so everything is kind of new to him anyways. They didn't know his last name. After that, Piper McLean. She seemed excited that her mom was a goddess.

And then there was Leo.

Leo

This place was really fucking cool. I mean, Hers was a bitch and all for killing my mom, but all in all, it was cool.

Jason and Piper were claimed like right away by their parent so I was really hoping my dad would show up soon. That'd be nice. To like have my dad and whatever else.

Percy introduced himself to me. He seemed nice. He was cute.

Of course, I'd never have the guts to even flirt with a guy like him, but he was cute. Older. Probably 18, 19. I wouldn't doubt that he could be 20.

"Alright Leo," he said, writing down stuff. Probably my information. That would make sense. "Is that your full first name? It's not short for Leonardo?"

"No, it's just Leo." I insisted. "Leo Santiago Valdez. I'm 15. My birthday is on July 4, 1994. I'm 5'6". I'm a guy. Uh... What else do you need to know?"

After a moment of writing, he answered.

"Uh, who's your parent?"

"Well I haven't been like claimed or whatever so..."

"I'm well aware," Percy assured me. "Your other parent, the one that raised you. Mom? Dad?"

"My mom!" Now that question made a bit more sense. "Esperanza Valdez."

"And do you have your mom's number or anything? Or your home address?"

"Uh, yeah..." I said and looked down for a second. I really haven't been asked about that in a while. My mom. She's sort of dead, and she died like ten years ago. "Not really. My mom died when I was little. I've kind of bounced around foster homes, so like... I have the most recent family but I mean they don't foster me anymore so..."

"No, it's fine, we just ask in case kids have another parent in the mortal world." Percy explained and I nodded my head, still feeling kind of weird about having a dead Mom.

He noticed. And he wasn't taking it.

"Hey, Leo," Percy said, and I looked back over at him. "It's fine, don't sweat over it. You're not the only one with a dead parent or a dead sibling. Some both. As a matter of fact, Grover, the guy that showed you around? His parents went missing in action like 8 years ago. We have a daughter of Zeus, she's not here currently, but she was a runaway until her mom got into an accidental and now she's an orphan. There's plenty of orphans here. Trust me."

I nodded my head.

"What about your parents?"

That was a bad idea and I saw it in his eyes, but he didn't let it get to him. It was fresh.

"They're dead." Percy told me and I like instantly felt bad. "Don't feel bad, Leo. I'm here for a reason."

"Sorry I just... It's fresh,," I explained my thought process to him. The guilt. "I can tell.'

He just nodded his head.

"Yeah, kind of." He didn't deny that they died pretty recently. "but I mean, justice was served. I still have my dad. I have a younger brother on his side. There's good in my life still."

I admired his positivity. But later on, Nico had woken up and we were with Clarisse and Grover. Nico and Percy getting their food.

For some reasons, we assumed they were brothers.

Grover and Clarisse gave us a weird look.

"Are they not brothers?"

They shook their heads, almost in horror.

"Well, then what?"

"Boyfriend's."
