Leo

I was going to go to just the spare room and Percys door was open so I go to close it. In case somebody walks into the cabin or something and I saw what I did not expect.

He said Camp would kill him if they found out they were talking.

Percy, talking is one thing.

Luke and Percy were sleeping together. Both in their boxers. And their boxers only. Aside that robe thing Percy was wearing.

Like. You just broke up with Annabeth. Slow it down.

But anyways, I silently closed the door and made my way to the spare room. A bit shocked. In one day I found out Percy was genderfluid, either bi or pansexual, and he can cut hair really good.

∆•∆

The next day I woke up around 6. Why so early, I have no idea. But I couldn't fall back asleep. So I got to my cabin. Only a few people awake. Nyssa was the only one. But she's always up at like 5:30, so...

"Did you discover the Harpies last night?" She asked me as I got in the cabin.

"No." I told her. "I was told about them and didn't leave. Luke on the other hand was reminded of the harpies."

"Of course he was." Nyssa said. "It's Luke. But you should probably get changed. Breakfast is early since the gods are visiting for some reason at 7:30."

"Okay." I told her, got dressed into the normal camp shirt, suspenders, and work boots with my belt and what not. Percy mustve known breakfast was early. Because he did show up. Sitting with Grover at his table. Jason had broken the rules and sat by me along with Frank although Chiron and Mr.D didn't seem to really mind since Jason was the only one in his cabin and Frank is Frank. And I kept looking inbetween Luke and Percy. Both looked happy. But nothing like hickeys or anything were visible what so ever. That's step one to hiding a relationship.

"Leo!" Jason and Frank yelled. Okay, Frank any myself actually broke the rule since Jason had his own cabin pretty much. Just the three of us at his table. 

"What?" I asked.

"You've been staring at Luke and Percy for five minutes." Frank told me.

"You have an idea involving them." Jason was right.

"And?" I asked them.

"Does Leo have a crush?" They are convinced I'm pansexual. Which I am. But I haven't even told them.

"No..." I told them. "Especially not on Luke. He's 20."

"You never know." Jason said. "Girls drool over older guys a lot and the other way around. Younger, too. What happened in his cabin last night?"

"Not a ton." I tell them. "He sort of told me why Annabeth was so upset with Luke and a lot of stuff they don't even come close to mentioning about this place in the past 10 years. They did fight a war the summer before we came. Did you know about it?"

"I knew there was a prophecy and the Greeks took care of it." Jason told me. "There was literally no contact between the camps. We weren't even sure Camp Half-Blood was still around until Percy showed up, I guess. We stayed away from the gods and sort of ruled our own place mostly. We were independent from the gods and a group on our own where as Camp Half-Blood is a group with the gods and independent within Camp. For the most part. But why were you staring between Luke and Percy? Out of all people."

"Luke did show up last night." I told them. "Harpies chased him there. But he fell asleep right away. I don't know. I woke up way to early and went to bed way to late. I'm tired."

They might get upset if I tell somebody. I'd like to live. I don't know how good of a fighter Luke actually is.

That day I went to sword fighting. Usually Percy and Nico teach it although Nico doesn't like teaching it. So Luke and Percy were there today.

And damn.

I didn't think anybody was better than Percy at swordfighting.

I was wrong.

"Damn." I heard Jason say. "He's good."

At dinner they let us sit with who we choose and it was Frank, Hazel, Piper, Jason, Nico, Luke, Percy, and myself. As Luke got food we had to ask.

"I never thought somebody could beat you at swordfighting." Frank commented to Percy.

"Somebody had to teach me everything I know." Percy told us. "I didn't magically learn it. It'd be cool though if I did. But between him and Chiron."

"Chiron actually taught you?" I asked. Jealous.

"Yeah." Percy told me. "He disguised as a human and was my sixth grade teacher up until I was recruited the end of that year by Grover and he taught me a little bit of swordfighting. Some tips here and there. But mainly he taught firearms and he did teach me Latin which was how I understood it at Camp Jupiter. He taught Ancient History, though. That was a fun class. He taught everyone up until... 3 years ago when for some reason unknown he was suspended and when he returned he wasn't allowed to do firearms."

Of course the question arose when Luke came back with food to eat.

"Have you gone to camp before?" Jason asked Luke. "I didn't see you at all last year, so..."

"Oh gods yeah.' Luke told the son of Jupiter. " I came with Thalia and Annabeth in 1999 and stayed until 2005, college didn't work out, I was pulled into something or another, died 2 years ago and was brought back for one reason or another. Probably to go home... But that's not happening.'

"Why not?" Hazel asked.

"My mother isn't mentally stable and its a long story." He tells us. "I left when I was 14. It was to the point where I was surprised child services hadn't come yet. Aside the fact that the Oracle rejected her which fucked her up and she did admit it many times. But she drank and did either cocaine or weed and barely worked. No other family. I wasn't tolerating it and left. I knew who my dad was and I knew exactly where to go so I set off for camp and met a few people on the way.'

Another new thing I didn't know about.

•∆•

About a month goes by. It's Independence Day. That means fireworks and what not. Camp said you can't wear your camp shirt today at all. There's a dance after lunch. Special activities after breakfast. More activities after dinner and fireworks after Campfire.

The dance rolls around. They said to bring your date. If you have one.

Percy is gender fluid.

Which most of camp knows and is good with it. But for those who didn't know.

Percy showed up in a dress and heels.

Luke

Waiting for Percy to get here, I went and got some punch and bumped Thalia. I didn't even know she was at camp. Much less the dance. But she seemed just as surprised, so...

A few weeks ago I had gotten Percy and myself promise rungs. Cheesy, yes. But he really wanted one. We haven't told anyone about our relationship yet. We were meeting his parents this weekend to celebrate the 4th since his parents went to his step dads brothers today I guess. They knew he was dating not Annabeth and gave been bugging the shit out of him to meet me. They knew my name and that I was a guy and that I went to camp with him. And that I was older than him. We were both excited about it. Most of camp was gone until next week, so... With their family and what not.

Anyways, we started talking for a little bit and she noticed the ring and somehow she knew it was a promise ring.

"Who is it?" Thalia asked me.

"What?" I asked her.

I ended up lying and telling her it was something Annabeth found a while back that if I didn't clean it, she got mad.

It worked.

My breath was taken away at the sight of Percy. He was wearing a kind of light teal dress and heels. The dress was kind of like a transparent thing around her neck and down to the top of her chest and kind of a silky dress that went down almost to his knees. Then the heels were the same color, a strap over the foot with small bows on the side. Also wearing the promise ring.

At the moment I could've cared less. We've held our relationship secret for long enough.

I walked up to the son of Poseidon and took him by the waist, sealing our first kiss in front of the camp.

Nico

I was at the fancy surprisingly. I promised Leo I'd go. Leo and myself have been seeing each other. It was starting to get more serious. He was a really fun guy to be around.

Suddenly I heard people clapping and I turned my attention to where they were clapping to. Standing with Leo, Hazel, Piper, Jason, Octovain, and Rachel. Octovain and Rachel started dating or came out as dating last week. Leo and myself haven't come out yet. We plan to. Just don't know when.

Everyone was applauding Luke and Percy. And talk about gender fluid. Percy was wearing a dress and heels. Luke a tux like every other couple here but Leo and myself. Both wearing tuxes.

Anyways, camp had caught them in liplock.

"I'm tempted to take a photo of this and send it to Annabeth." Piper said and she did. Got a photo and sent it to Annabeth.

She sent a voice message 20 minutes long afterwards.

But as Camp had found them in mid-kiss, I figured hell. It's perfect timing.

"Fuck it." I said as Piper had been sending the photo and took the son of Hephaestus, connecting his lips with my own.

Piper

So first it was Octovain and Rachel we found out were dating. Then Silena and Beckendorf.

Then we find Luke and Percy, mid fucking kiss.

"Fuck it." I heard Nico say as I turn off my phone again. The photo sent and saw him take Leo and kiss him.

Hazel and Jason were so shocked they couldn't speak for about 5 minutes.

Happy Independence Day, right?
