Hi guys! Well it's past Christmas and I didn't give you one on here so here have some Christmas cheer in the form of the gang being funny. It's in AU slightly buts it's not that bad. I lied it's pretty different. But still......

Enjoy 😋

Percy POV

I am so excited I could do a rain dance!! It's Christmas morning and that meant presents. Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, Leo, Calypso, Nico, Will, Cecil, Lou Ellen, Travis, Conner and I were at Nico's in his huge basement ("Yeah, thanks I basically own the whole underground floor").

I guess being the head of the Italian Mafia really pays off. Don't tell Nico, (Bye, fourth wall. We'll miss you) but I don't believe for one second that being a fancy lawyer pays this well, I don't care if he's the ambassador of treasure or whatever. ("No he's not a Mafioso, he's the ambassador of currency and gold and the head of the Italian consulate" "Then how do you know the name of the type of mafia guy, huh?!")

We had all passed out in the game room after a huge Christmas dinner and a game of "Cards against humanity" (I've never actually played but I read a game that the seven did for a YouTube video and it was hilarious!)

I was curled up with Annabeth on one of the couches. Even though we had broken up she still let me cuddle with her until I found someone else to cuddle with. Next to us was the Frank, Hazel and Leo pile up.

Frank was always jealous of the ways Leo used to flirt with hazel but then he started to flirt with him too, so I'm pretty sure they're all going to hook up at some point.

On an air bed in the middle of the room lay Will, Lou and Cecil in a position that seems practised. They must have been really close to have practise sleeping positions.

Jason and piper were on seperate beanbags because they had been to comfy to share but they still held hands in between. They were like siblings. They dated for a while but they worked better this way because they couldn't even remember how they got together. It still bothered me though, even though I know piper is very much crushing on the girl I'm currently spooning.

On the Murphy bed in the wall next to the ping ball machine (Like seriously Nico Dafaq?!) Was Nico in the middle of the stoll twins, their arms proctectively around his middle, their legs entangled and a satisfied smile on Nico's face.

Now calm your fangirling tits, Its not Stollico. It just that when Nico was still the new kid he had to work with the 'undecided' group in school before he was assigned to the 'Jeffersons' group.

The 'undecided' were the people that either hadn't been assigned or chosen a learning course, while the 'Jeffersons' where those who were in the advanced learning course.

While he was with the 'undecided' the kids used to pick on him a lot so Travis and Conner, head of the group, took him under their wings and protected him before the bullying could turn physical.

During this he learnt his hidden power of sass and sarcasm and to this day they would always tear a little when they see him prank someone or tell someone off.

Despite being in Form 8 they still treat him like a glass doll in their company thus Le cuddling. He pretends to get exasperated sometimes but I know he loves it.

But back to the reason he was excited. It was Christmas morning which meant presents and that year they had done secret Santa among themselves and everybody agreed to do gag gifts, so it was even more fun than regular presents.

I got up quietly and made everyone blue waffles, pancakes and bacon in the kitchen on the underground floor.

I opened the door of the game room floor and waved the smell of one of the plates into the area waiting for a reaction.

At first there was just sighs of contentment, then a grunt of suspicion, some rustling and finally...3...2....1..

A prolonged groan became louder as the source of noise approached him. As he suspected, Jason walked towards him, his head thrown back and his eyes shut, still groaning. His arms outstretched and making grabby hands, ready to grab the plate off me.

"Duuuuuuuude" he started walking towards the island in the kitchen, sitting on a stool, the plate now in front of him "I knew I liked you for a reason! I don't even mind that they're blue it just smells so good!" With this he dug in. I watched with a satisfied grin getting the other plates ready for the rest of the group.

They dropped in one by one all with comments of the morning, but none of them actually said the words "Good morning, Percy"

Cecil, Lou and Will entered with an amused Nico.

"And when the Lords said let there be pancakes and bacon, They were worshipped by all and they were worshipped rightfully so for bestowing-ah such-ah great-ah gift-ah! Can I get an amen!?" He yelled while walking in. Lou and Will unanimously stated

"Amen!" With one hands in the sky and the other on a fork with food on it.

Nico shook his head muttering 'idiots' took a bite and almost immediately moaned.

"I take it back. Preach to the choir, Cecil"

Before he could start some horrible preaching about the 'blessings of syrup and bacon' Piper and Annabeth plopped down and uttered 'Hallelujah' before digging in.

The Stolls were the last to arrive. The saw the pancakes, ignoring the fact they were blue and yelled "YES bruv" in terrible British accents before, high-fiving with one hand then dabbing with the other. They finally sat down and ate like no ones business.

"Hey Percy, Thanks Percy, Good morning Percy, Woah! Thanks for the pancakes Percy" I muttered to myself, just loud enough for everyone to hear, while cutting the bacon, ignoring their ungrateful existence.

They all stopped eating and surrounded me all hugging me somehow.

"Aww, Thanks so much perce" Annabeth cooed. I pretended like nothing had happened. I was being childish at this point. It was hard keeping the smile of my face but I wanted to see how far they'll go. Last time before we met Jason and Piper they bribed back into my oldself with-

"Look, he's still mad. Should we give him some kisses? Will that cheer him up?" Will chirped.

-kisses. Oh, Woe is me time to accept my amazing fate. (I love being cuddled and kissed. What can I say? I'm a lovebug) I moved my head ever so slightly downward. Annabeth pecked my forehead first. A small blush lightened my cheeks.

"Wait, You're serious!" Jason exclaimed.

"Of course" Nico's serious voice rang out "He deserves it after all. Because he's such a nice, special person" He punctuated the it with a kiss to my nose. With a serious face. It made me smile just the tiniest bit.

They all continued after that, placing chaste kisses all over my face each one making smile just a bit more, nearly to the point of giggles like a preschool child. When it fianlly came to the Stolls they placed a lasting kiss on both of my cheeks. This made me roll my eyes.

We had a thing where they would flirt and I would bask on the attention but never give in cause I lo-like Jason. They simultaneously moved up to my ears, lips never leaving my face. I blushed, this is the closest they've ever been to my face in of their moods.

"We could always give you a reward, Couldn't we Connor?" Travis whispered seductively.

Connor continued with the same tone "Of course Trav, we'd make sure it was so good he'll. Never. Forget it." They left me, each with a bite to my ear shell. I couldn't contained a gasp. I could practically feel their smirks at the noise. Or maybe it was to the growl of jealously that came from Jason. Why was he jealous? Could it be? No. Don't get your hopes up Jackson.

"Thanks guys. You are now worthy of my presence. Now.... Secret Santa!"

At this they all jumped up and moved to the living room where the tree and presents were. We all sat in the circle and grabbed the presents we bought for the secret Santa.

We sat in a circle on the carpet next to the tree and waited till everyone had their gifts in their hands and everyone had settled comfortably. We got our the same hat we used for the Santa pickings but now, we would use it to pick out who goes first.

Travis picked it out and read out Wise Girl's name. She got her gift and ceremoniously handed it to Calypso. She opened it with gusto, after overcoming her surprise. She looked like an excited kid while she was ripping the wrapping off.

Her smile dropped into a fond exasperation when she saw it. She rolled her eyes and showed off the photoshopped poster of Odysseus with James bond background, titled: 'With love, To Ogygia from Odysseus' Everbody laughed as she rolled her eyes. We were always making fun of the fact that she was named after the girl who always got left on the island by the famous heroes.

Calypso then got her gift, made a show of moving to different people before finally tossing it to Cecil. It was a small but classy looking box. It was rectangular and not very deep. He opened it wary of possible pranks, despite being the one that pranks other people.

Whatever was inside made him scoff and say "really" before grinning. He pulled out a black turtleneck and ski mask and a certificate that said "Get out of jail free for life presented to, Cecil Markowitz" This made everyone burst into a fit if giggles as Cecil was also famous for picking locks and stealing random things. We often joke he would soon get arrested.

He chucked his present at Frank and went back to wrestling into the turtleneck.

Frank opened his and looked puzzled for a second before realisation.

"Hardy Har Har" he says muttered sarcastically "It happened once, okay? Besides, I'm never doing it again "

"But that would make it the first and last time" Frank blush at Cecil's retort.

Inside the box was a pair of tiny lizard print scissors and Chinese handcuffs, which made sense to what they were saying because there was an incident in which Frank was stuck in said handcuffs and could only get out of them using the scissors which his lizard at the time was lying on. It was hilarious.

Frank, the giant teddy bear, carefully handed Leo his present earning him a coo and wink from him resulting in a blush.

Leo wasted no time. In a blink of am eye the present was sitting on his lap. This made everyone, including him cause he was a team player, laugh. It was a mini portable fire extinguisher. Leo was famous for setting various things, not excluding himself, on fire. In fact it was more of a safety precaution and less of a gag gift.

Leo finally looked around the group, as if trying to decide who was worthy of the gift, and then finally dropped it on my lap. I tore into it like a fat kid into a pizza (If you guys didn't get it, I was referring to myself in this) only faltering when I got to the present itself.

It was a tiny coral reef and stuffed Nemo. I looked up confused as did most people.

"I don't get it"

"Well, with the amount of seaweed that's in there, I assumed you were decorating your brain so~ I got you some stuff to add to it" he replied incredulously.

This made everyone snicker and snort. Hmph. Jokes on him, I'm keeping Nemo as a teddy and renaming him Emperor after, coincidentally, Emperor Nemo. So Ha.

I handed my gift over to Travis with one hand, the other clutching emperor. He smirked and fixed me with a shark like expression, without opening the box.

"Is this those pictures I asked for perce? Because I've been thinking I might want a video instead" he purred with a wink.

I was prepared for this so I simply shrugged and countered "Well you'll have to open it to find out"

With the expression still on his face, he destroyed the wrapping and opened the box to see the Polaroids placed with the actual image facing down. I saw the shock hit his features as he turned to look at me and then to Conner.

"I didn't think you were serious! Con, get over here" Conner scrambled to sit next to his brother before they reached grabbed one, picture still facing away from them. They slowly turned them in unison only for them to huff and throw the picture down.

"Thanks for that. That's what we needed, I'm so happy" I could see the sarcasm dripping from each word. Nobody got it but us, so I passed the pictures around, relishing in the symphony of laughs and sounds of amusements.

The Polaroids both had a picture of a painted middle finger and "Naked Percy" in black next to the picture. I was so proud of it.

Travis threw his present at Lou, who gave him a certain finger back when it hit her head. She opened it and sighed and said "Really. I told you already I turned back around and Mrs Merkel's baby was gone and the pig in  his place. I eventually found him. I didn't turn a baby into a pig"

It made sense after I saw her presents. It was a standard Witch hat and broom, which got everyone snickering.

She smirked and casually handed Jason his gift. He narrowed his eyes at her and opened it slowly, as of waiting for it to combust. When he finally looked at the items he rolled his eyes and used a fake perky voice to say "Gee, Thanks so much. Now I can finally fulfil my dreams of becoming proper superman" while waving around a superman shirt with  a cape attached and black hairspray.

Now he could go from blonde superman to real superman. The nickname originated from a story including a St patty's day party, a drunk Jason, a roof of a car, and a brick. That's all I can say.

Jason politely handed his gift over to hazel, because messing with hazel is a Big No-No in this group. She said thank you and opened quietly and slowly making the rest of us die in anticipation. I assumed she wanted to save the paper because she removed it exactly where the tape was placed.

She removed the wrapping, only to scrunch it up and chuck it away. Everybody made some kind of incredulous noise at this, some of us going as far as yelling 'What?!' Or 'Are you freaking kidding me'. She just looked shy and went back to her present. It was a cropped gold metallic hoodie that said the words "Metal dectotor" on it.

I snorted as did the rest of the gang. Hazel had a thing for finding random gems wherever she went. It's like all the rich guys whose ever lost a diamond all happen to lose them when hazel just about to walk by.

She immediately shoved it on and stuck her tongue out in a show of defiance. She just looked cuter so really joke's on her.

She handed her gift to Will quietly. It was a small box of batteries. Huh? She saw everyone's confused expression and giggled. "It's for this" she explained while giving him a wooden box. He opened it and saw a mini sun with a dial near the bottom of it. It was a music box.

"This is a nice gift." As he started turning it and "Here Comes the Sun" starts playing "They were supposed to be gag gi- Oh thanks" he cut himself of as robotic voice said 'Will Solace' after the word 'Sun'. This made everyone crack up since they all said Will was the embodiment of the sun.

He smiled to himself before handing his gift over to Nico while wriggling his eyebrows, causing said boy to blush. I had to restrain myself from smashing their mouths together. It was so obvious they liked each other and we were all getting tired and I really wanted them to just kiss and be done with it.

Nico opened the rectangular box only to get confused.

"I thought this was supposed to be funny. I actually like this." He narrowed his eyes at him "What kind of game are playing solace?" 

He simply shrugged. Great thanks for ruining it sunshine boy. Nico laid it over his chest to see of it was his size. It was. He shrugged and thanked him. Will just hugged him. When he pulled back we all lost it and laughed like hyenas on laughing gas. The shirt was now rainbow ombre with a black skull in the middle. He simply glowered at everyone, having no effect whatsoever.

He handed an envelope over to piper calmly, watching her open it. She shrieked when she read it and hugged Nico.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you tha-" she rambled before Nico cut her off with his hand.

"Read the back. Out loud" he stated with an evil grin.

She looked puzzled before obeying "This $500 gift card can only be used at sephora and Macy's otherwise the gift card will be declined" her face slowly changed from confused to outrage after learning she could only shop for the girly-girl clothes she hated. "You bastard"

"I try" Nico chirped.

She kept glaring at him until she had to give Conner his gift. He opened it quickly, not one for foreplay ( ;} ), and surveyed the contents quickly. He two wooden signs with "The younger one" and "The good-looking one" carved into them in black. He rolled his eyes and handed Travis the 'good looking' one before putting his own on.

"Four measly minutes and you suffer for life" he grumbled while we snorted.

He gave Annabeth he present and waited patiently as she opened it. Inside was a stuffed grey Owl beanie boo. She looked at him confused so he explained.

"Owls are the symbol if wisdom so I figured the next time you go to the library, you take him with you to show him where his habitat is" he recited grinning.

Annabeth huffed and said "I'm taking it as a compliment cause you indirectly called me smart"

I laughed harder than everyone else because ever since I met her I've been calling her 'Wise Girl'

"Well everyone gather up you gifts and retreat downstairs because.... drumroll please?"

Leo started clapping his thighs furiously until I silenced him with a flick of the wrist (Look at the flick of Da wrist 🎶). "Because ladies and gentlemen we are watching..... Frozen!" I exclaimed.

A collective of groans sounded over the small amount of cheers coming from me, Piper, Leo, Will, Cecil and Travis.

This was going to be a good year with these people all around me.

3262 words.
