Chapter One
Nico
Will wanted me down at the infirmary, so I went. He's been... Clingy. We're not together. He'd just clingy in general. So I figured he was going to try to ask me out again and not get far with it. He's been doing it for six months.
"Oh, thank gods, you made it!" Will said as I saw Annabeth's was here, too. "Sorry to interrupt whatever you were doing, but Chiron ordered me to get you guys here and do a full body exam and mental exam. He won't tell me why."
"Um, okay." I remarked. It can't be much worse than a check up. A few scans. Whatever. "Do I have to fill out paperwork or...?"
"Yeah!" He assured me as one of his sister's took Annabeth. Will handed me a paperclip and brought me to one of the basic rooms. I sat down and filled it out.
Will um... He showed up the summer after I came here. He thinks he came before me but he didn't. And there's this one question that I wasn't sure how to answer.
"Hey, Will," I said, getting his attention. "For the whole unexpected death thing. My sister died unexpectedly, but it wasn't because of a sickness."
"What happened?"
"A monster killed her." I explained. "What do I put?"
"No."
It probably took another five minutes to fill out everything and he looked over it quick.
"Alright," he said as I sat on the weird bed thing. "So I'm going to let you choose. Do you want to get the awkward part out of the way now or save it for last?"
I looked at him for a second, unsure as to what that meant.
"How awkward are we talking?"
"You're going to be naked."
"Do I have to be?"
"Yeah."
I thought about that for a minute. It'd be nice to have a different doctor for this, knowing Will likes me and all. But I don't have much of a choice, and if he keeps professional.
"If you even try to do anything," I informed the son of Apollo, "I'll hurt you."
"Well duh." He told me as I sighed and slipped off my jacket and shirt. Which was probably harder to do than taking off my pants and underwear. And he seemed interested in my dick for a solid few seconds before he took more interest in my arms.
I don't cut anymore. But I used to. And between those scars and the things from the wars all along my chest... Being on the run, too. That's where most of my skinniness comes from. Losing that weight and just having trouble gaining it back because when I'm here, you work out so much it's hard to gain weight.
"Is there anything I should know of going into this?" Will asked me. "Do you self harm? Are you anorexic? Do you purge or do drugs are anything? And yes, weed is a drug."
"Um... I don't think so." I answered his question. "Well, I've smoked weed like a few times. I'm underweight because of like living on the streets for a while, but I eat fine. I don't cut or anything like that. Yeah."
"Alright." He remarked and grabbed a tape measure from a drawer. "Are you sexually active? Just a warning, I'm measuring your penis."
"Okay, and no." I told him, preparing myself as he told me how to hold my penis because he just needed to hold the tape, not my dick. I appreciated that. "I'm not."
He wrote something down.
"Do you masturbate?"
He asked me this and I didn't feel too bad answering because I once walked in to him masturbating. Luckily, under a sheet.
To a photo of me.
And that's how I found our Will has a crush on me. Him jerking off.
It was weird and I'm still not over it.
"Yes," I remarked. "But not that often."
"And what do you masturbate to?"
"None of your damn business."
"Fair enough."
Percy
I was sitting in the hospital bed. I still had no idea why I was in the infirmary. Waiting for Apollo, he said it had something to do with Tartarus and that Annabeth and Nico are getting the same thing done to them. Almost. I have more. Because a kid came into the Big House and tried to pick a fight and I guess I had a seizure. I don't remember the kid coming in. I don't even remember going to the Big House. But either way, nearly identical exams.
And uh... I was kind on freaking out in my head. Apollo didn't make it any better.
"Alright," the former god to me. "So it's going to be a little awkward at first. But I'm going to have to have you strip, Percy. It's nothing sexual, nothing personal. I can even give you the sheet that tells me what I'm required to have you do so we can get proper results back."
That was fine. I took off my shirt, took of my pants and shoes. And Apollo looked at me as if I wasn't done.
"Percy, you're going to have to take your underwear off."
I shook my head no, that wasn't happening. Not after what Annabeth did today. Hell, not after Gabe. Or Bella. I can't...
"Can I ask you a few questions then?"
I nodded my head, my anxiety threatening to surface.
"Again," Apollo reminded me as he grabbed his papers. "Nothing personal. I just need this to ensure we get correct results. The first one is normal: are you sexually active?"
I thought about that. Because like I didn't want to, but she did and she did. But it wasn't...
"Not willingly."
"Not..." He almost wrote that down. "Why wouldn't it be willingly? This doesn't mean somebody grabbed you. I'm talking about sex, Percy."
I nodded my head, knowing what he meant.
It's called rape. She raped me.
"Okay, yeah." I answered the yes or no part of it. "it wasn't consensual, but yes, I am."
"So you... Raped...?"
"No!" I wasn't about to he accused of that. "I was...like..."
"Oh!" He said and then realized what that had meant. "Have you pressed charges? That's serious."
"Not yet." I told the former god. "That was sort of my plan for today."
"Okay, got it." Apollo remarked, and thought about it. "Do you want to do the mental part of this first? I can postpone the physical exam if you're too uncomfortable."
"Please."
Giving me my clothes back, we did an MRI, CAT scan, and then a few brain scans. Looking for brain injuries and mental illnesses.
After being released, I ran into Nico. He said hi, which surprised me.
I was just sort of on edge today, though. So that could be it.
"How'd the whole down below thing go?" Nico asked me. "It wasn't awkward just for me, right?"
"I uh... Didn't do that." I answered his question, and he gave me an almost weird look. "I'm doing that tomorrow. Why was awkward?"
"I had Will." He explained to me as we started to walk towards the cabins. "And I once walked in on Will masturbating to a photo of me on Facebook. It was... I've been scarred for life. But what the fuck, dude? I didn't have a choice, I had to do it. Why'd you get a delay?"
"He said we only had time for half of the exam." I made up some bullshit lie because I wasn't telling him that Annabeth woke me up, naked and on top of me. My hands were cuffed to the bed, so we're my legs. She told me she had kinks and she likes cuffs. But I really didn't appreciate her using both those and the gag. "I wanted to get the scans over with."
"Got it, I suppose you were here later."
"Yeah..."
I just feel gross. My entire body just feels like it's covered in dirt and rolled in some nasty liquid. Like the shit that came out of Annabeth's vagina (which she got all over my dick) that's just thick and kind of stick and just...
Gross.
"It's not that bad." Nico assured me. "the worst part is really the measuring, but they don't touch you. Unless you're self councious. Then the worst part is being naked."
"Yeah."
I think it must've been how flat I said it that had Nico's attention. And he stopped for a second, and looked at me. I could trust him, right? Him and Grover? I was meeting up with Grover after dinner. I was skipping out campfire tonight because I just can't. She'll it next to me and we'll hold hands and then she'll move and her hand with brush against my pants and I'll freak out and probably have another seizure or something.
I still don't remember the seizure.
"Percy," Nico softly said, sounding a bit worried. "Are you okay?"
"Is your cabin quiet?"
He nodded his head.
"Can we go there?"
Because Annabeth was spreading word about us having sex and I could hear voices and I was going to have a panic attack if I didn't get to somewhere quiet soon. I really don't want to go back to the infirmary.
Nico's cabin was a little darker toned, which helped calm me. I've been having problems with my anxiety for the last few weeks. If I can be somewhere dark and quiet, that's where I want to be. It just relaxes me the most. I think I might remodel my cabin just because it's too bright. Leo went for the blues and greens and teal and I like those colors. They just aren't going to help me out and I have a feeling that I won't be able to be out and about as much anymore.
After moving a few things out of the way (I saw weed, and I'm not sure who it belongs to), Nico and I sat down on the couch and I closed my eyes and breathed in for a minute. Just as long as I keep it under control, I'm fine. I'll talk with Chiron today.
"So what's up?" Nico asked me and turned to face me. "I've never seen you on edge like this before."
"My anxiety has been bothering me," I told him what's been happening lately because for no real reason, I trusted him. "Which just doesn't help the situation. But Annabeth came to the city a day early. We let her stay with us last night, and she did. Everything was fine, my parents didn't care that we slept in the same room. We've been together for over a year. And I was tired, I went to bed. But waking up this morning she..."
I had to stop to regulate my breathing. I never told Annabeth about what Gabe did to me. I just thought she'd respect it when I told her to stop because I can't handle sex of any sort. Anything below the collar bone I can't do. And even my collar bone stirs up my anxiety and that's my stopping point.
"She was naked." I told the son of Hades, which made him just stop. "And she didn't go to bed like that. But she was naked. And she took my pants off and my underwear. When I woke up she was sitting on top of me, I was cuffed to the bed with a gag in my mouth. I couldn't move and I had a panic attack while she decided that she was going to have intercourse with me. And she did."
Nico store at me in shock for a minute as he took all of that in.
"Ann... Annabeth raped you?"
I nodded my head and he was hesitant, but Nico gave me a hug. He wasn't where what his limits we're after hearing that. I respected that. I needed the hug, though.
Of course, I started to cry. When I did that, I saw this whole new person in Nico that I knew was there. But I thought he was lost.
It was the Nico that genuinely cared and genuinely wanted for you to be okay. The Nico I first met. Before his sister died. Before he started closing out everyone and everything.
I hadn't cried all day.
"Hey," Nico said, trying to calm me down just enough so I wasn't a total wreck. He wiped the tears off my face and kind of fixed my hair. "Is it okay if I call Chiron down here? He'll know what to do."
Nodding my head, Nico called his sister. Chiron doesn't have a phone. We do, they're monster safe thanks to Leo.
"Hey, big bro!" Hazel said when she answered the call. "Where are you? We're waiting for you and Percy. Nobody's heard from him since his appointment."
"You guys can start without us," Nico told his little sister. "We'll catch up. But, without telling the others what you're doing, can you get Chiron to come to our cabin? It has nothing to do with me, don't worry. I'll catch up in a little bit."
"Yeah!" She continued talking as if it was normal and made up some bullshit so she could walk away from the others and she hurried to the Big House, asking Nico how urgent this was.
"Like an 8/10."
Nico
Within 3 minutes, Chiron came through the door. Percy was a lot calmer, but he was still kind of freaking out. With the bags under his eyes all red and puffy, you could tell he had been crying.
"Oh my gods," Chiron remarked as soon as he saw the son of Poseidon and he walked over. "Percy, are you okay?"
He couldn't bring himself to talk, he just shook his head.
"Do you want Nico here for this?"
I was flattered when he nodded his head, but I was more worried about the situation at hand.
Who would've guessed that Percy knew sign language? Because he did, and when he couldn't talk, he resorted to using that. Chiron knew it, too, because he was understanding what Percy was telling him. I suppose, you need it in case a camper is deaf.
"Do you want me to take this to try?" Chiron asked Percy and he responded with something more elaborate than just yes or no.
"Well for that to happen, she'll have to be convicted."
So basically he said yes. Chiron assured him that we'd get through this, and headed out to go find Annabeth.
"Do you want to go meet up with the others?" I asked Percy once Chiron had left and he shook his head, looking fucking exhausted. Told me that I could go if I wanted.
"Do you want me to stay?"
He nodded his head and I gave him a small rub on his back and he leaned into my touch, trusting me for reasons only gods know.
