Chapter Thirty
Nico
Percy is the best big brother and nobody can tell me otherwise.
Tyson left as I headed in and Percy seemed to finally be in a good mood. Which was a nice change. He was a little better last night. I spent the night here, but I left before he woke up. School. I had his work in a folder at home. He can worry about it later.
"What was that about?" I asked Percy as I sat down next to him, giving him one of the school cookies that he loves. They're fairly healthy, so the doctors really don't care. It's one cookie to give him some flavor.
"With Tyson?" He asked and I nodded in confirmation. "Oh, I told him we were together and then I had to explain that just because dad doesn't like gays and whatever doesn't mean he has to hate it, too. He's also going to be in our wedding. And he uh... So he has this crush and it cured me for like five minutes."
"Who does he like!" I asked, always excited to hear about Tyson. I'm excited to be his brother.
I mean what?
Shut up, I can dream. It's not as far fetched of a dream as it was six months ago. When I thought he was straight.
"Grover."
All of my problems suddenly went away and my life was pure for about 30 seconds as I thought about it.
I mean, it's a lot of irony. But it'd be so fucking cute.
"That settles it," I told my boyfriend. "It needs to happen. Tell Grover that when you get out in the morning were going on a double date for brunch."
Grover
Tyson came to camp. Which was... Well, it wasn't normal. But it was a pleasant surprise. I'm not afraid of him anymore. Which is good. He doesn't seem to be afraid of me. We've moved forward.
I'm still jealous that Percy gets to be related to him.
Over the next week or so, Tyson, Thalia, and I started to hang out just about every day and it was a lot of fun. I missed Tyson. He took the stress out of a lot of things. Including my life.
When Percy was out of the hospital, we talked quite a bit and he kept me up to date with everything and I love it. I love that him and Nico are together. It makes me happy. Because now he's trying. He wants to get better now. Even if he doesn't rest know what it means, he's willing to try things.
So I started to talk about Tyson. And I didn't even think of what I looked like to him as I went on and on about his brother. Because I... I have weird feelings for Tyson. I like him, but I don't know how I like him. A friend, more than that, less than that. I wasn't sure. I've kept that to myself this last week.
"Dude." Percy cut me off.
"What?" I asked him, as he typically doesn't cut me off like that.
"Stop blushing," my best friend demanded. "Get off your ass, and go ask him out before you start talking about things I don't need to know about. Remember, he's my brother. I will be cured of depression if you do this."
And I almost did it.
"But it's the middle of the night." I reasoned with him. "Wouldn't that be weird?"
"Not if you have a good excuse for stopping by." My best friend went on. "Find a good sized stick on your way there and tell him you thought it was his. He likes sticks, he'll take it."
"I know he does," I agreed with that. "But it's the middle of the night."
"Again," Percy told me, not wanting to say it again . "He won't care. Go. Now."
And with that, he hung up on me.
Tyson
Grover showed up in the middle of the night. With a stick.
I mean, as weird as it was, I enjoyed the gesture. It was a good excuse for him to come here. I always enjoy the company. Especially from Grover.
It's just weird because it was like 3 in the morning when he showed up. And, I was awake. I had woken up hungry, so I went to get one of the snacks Percy snuck in here the last time he stayed here. If he doesn't come here soon, I'm screwed. I always get up in the middle of the night. For food.
I have no regrets in saying that I was the little spoon.
I texted Percy when I woke up in the morning about it. He couldn't respond until he got out, but he gets out later today. Today was Sunday. He was in Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Well, he went in late Thursday. But yeah. I really wasn't expecting dad to come home and tell me Percy was in the hospital.
He's kind of pissed off about the entire thing. I don't know why. If Percy needs help, at least he's getting it. He's not sitting and rotting away. But he's just pissed off to hell with Percy.
All of the gods are allowed to see him. Percy said that he told his mom that he didn't want Dad visiting. The hospital won't stop it, though. It's family. I mean, Hades is allowed to visit with him. He's there a lot with Persephone.
Dad has yet to see him in the hospital. And he won't get to see him as he gets out today.
Now, today was the first time I actually got to formally meet Jason Grace. The reason being was that we had a meeting today. Oddly enough, it was about the health and risks and what not of demigods. Because Percy isn't the only one recently who's failed odd like this.
They had names, I couldn't remember them. They were rambled off pretty fast.
And yes, this was a meeting on Olympus. The gods were involved as two incidents of this, gods were involved.
One of them was my dad and Percy. What happened 3 days ago.
And yeah, Nico was there. He had to show up. If you're not in the hospital, you had to be here.
The entirety of Camp Half-Blood, Camp Jupiter, and the gods.
Yeah.
And hell, families were invited. This wasn't exactly a meeting. It was more of something like a lawsuit. A lot of Olympian laws would be changed and a lot of things at camp would also change.
Hopefully camp wins this.
The case was set in order and May Castellan, as she's an actual judge, was to judge this. She's Luke's Mom. But Luke also ran away from home.
But I don't think her other kids were expecting to see people they knew.
