Warning: Self-loathing thoughts.

Percy thought it was normal to hate the way he looked.

To loathe his body.

He thought it was normal to be disgusted every time you look into a mirror.

To want a skip a meal or two to finally feel okay.

Until it wasn't just a meal or two.

He always skipped breakfast, using the excuse that he had a class to teach every time.

He didn't see the point in lunch so he stopped eating that too.

For a while he felt content enough with himself to just eat small dinners.

Until that didn't feel like it was enough.

No one seemed to notice when he stopped eating dinner altogether.

His reflection didn't seem so bad anymore.

Percy loved his boyfriend, Jason.

Despite Percy looking the way he did, Jason still loved him.

Didn't care that he was ugly.

Didn't care that he had more scars than most demigods.

Didn't care that he was fat.

Percy giggled from where he was lying under Jason, Jason's fingers tickling along his sides.

Jason smirked, his hands slipping under Percy's t-shirt where he continued to tickle his stomach.

Percy was gasping for breath, trying to ignore the little voice that had reappeared as Jason's hands crept under his shirt.

Jason's fingers brushed over Percy's ribs, frowning at how prominent they felt.

Jason stopped, allowing Percy to catch his breath.

Jason's eyebrows furrowed, his hands slowly lifing Percy shirt up to his chest.

He gasped, Percy's ribs sticking out way too far.

Percy's breathing had finally evened out, turning to face away from Jason, understanding that Jason would be so disgusted with him.

He was too.

"...Perce? When was the last time you ate?"

Percy knew he had to lie, knew he couldn't let Jason know.

"At lunch."

Jason raised an eyebrow, choosing not to tell Percy that he had been sat at his table for the entirety of lunch and that he knew Percy never showed up.

"What did you have?"

"Blue pizza."

Jason nodded, trying to look convinced.

"Were you sat at the Poseidon table the whole of lunch?"

Percy bit his lip as he nodded, unaware that Jason had already caught on.

"That's funny, so was I. I don't remember seeing you and it's not exactly hard to find someone when they're sat at the same table as you. Especially when it's so empty like the Poseidon one."

Percy shrugged, not really having an answer.

"Percy, why aren't you eating?"

"Because I'm fat."

Jason did a double take, staring down at Percy in shock.

"You think you're fat?"

"Well yeah."

"Percy, baby, no. You're not fat. You're actually severely underweight. Who told you that you were fat?"

"No one. I'm just not blind."

"Percy. You're not fat. Please don't skip any meals. Please, for me."

Percy couldn't help but nod, turning away from Jason as tears burned in his eyes, threatening to fall.

Jason got off of Percy, laying down on the bed and opening his arms.

Percy complied, hiding his face away from Jason as the tears started falling.

"If you ever feel like that please come and talk to me. Please don't leave me in the dark and just stop eating. Please, promise me."

Percy sniffled, his voice coming out small and muffled.

"I promise."

This one's kinda short. I promised Derpy_Warren some Jercy but the one I was originally working on wouldn't have been done in time so I wrote this one quickly and should have the other up at some point tomorrow.
