Quick! Hold My Hand!

Piper noticed how Jason was looking at Reyna. She noticed how Annabeth bit her lip just slightly when Jason would throw the football to Percy. Every flex of her shoulders made Annabeth twitch, the day before.

Though, on the same day, every drop of water the rolled down Percy’s chest made her sweat. She drooled and her mouth went dry as the sweat glistened across his back, or when he took a dip in the ocean. When his arms flexed or when he turned by the abs and he caught a different angle. it made Piper go wild, and it felt wrong.

Though, the fire that sparked in her ribs when she saw Jason by Annabeth wouldn't leave. She didn't want to call it jealousy. It wasn't. It was frustration because he was being so careless. To be fair, she was drooling over Percy’s deity stature. She knew that Percy was on the Olympian track, and he body sure showed it.

Was that bad? He had an adorable personality but she couldn't make herself look away. It made her feel bad.

Piper sighed when the next morning came, and she trudged into the kitchen to find Jason and Annabeth making pancakes for everyone. She could see exactly how close Annabeth was getting, just enough where she could defend herself. Smart girl, but it would be smarter to not make a move at all.

She cleared her throat and opened the fridge, Annabeth jumping back. Piper pretended not to notice, but the angry fire was back in her chest as she grabbed the apple juice. As she poured a glass, Jason came over to flip the pancakes. Piper swiftly gave him a kiss on the cheek and a ‘good morning’ to both of them. Leo and Calypso emerged, both looking way better rested than anyone who had been up before. Reyna walking in moments after, and Piper felt Jason’s eyes go to her for a moment too long.

Thalia and Percy squeezed through the doorway together, “Hey, Texas Ranger, move.” Percy pushed, and Thalia rolled her eyes.

“Whatever, Chlorine Breath.” Thalia snapped back, leaning on the counter to give Reyna a good morning kiss.

“Ew you've got morning breath.” Reyna laughed, and Piper couldn't help but admit that they were cute together. Actually she was the first to say it.

Percy locked eyes with Piper for a second, feeling electricity hold them together for a second. She suddenly became aware of exactly what her pajamas were, and blushed before taking a large gulp of her juice. His bed hair was messier than usual, but still made him look effortless. Same sharp bone structure, lazy smirk and eyes that said trouble- at least on first glance. Look long enough and you see a twinkle of care.

“‘Morning guys.” Percy greeted them all, voice slightly more gravely than normal. Piper swallowed hard. His morning voice was getting her going, and by the look he gave her, he knew it too. Instead of letting it be, she watched as he stretched and reached across her to get a glass of water.

If Piper’s mouth was open, she would've been drooling. She was unlucky to not be nearly at hot in the morning as Percy was. Yet, she had all day to get back at him. And the next day, too. She had plans.

During this time she had tuned out the conversation that was going on, something about Sharkboy and Lavagirl. It wasn't as interesting as the way Percy’s shirt laid on his chest, or the curve of his Cupid's bow.

“-Four day weekend.” Piper tuned back in to Leo, “Crazy how we all just accept that as our weekend.”She panicked, they were staying another two days. The amount of frustration- all types- was going to get to her if she didn’t talk to Jason.Yet that left her head when Percy cracked a smile.

“Yeah, it’s the summer. Thalia has work tomorrow night-” Reyna frowned.

“-sadly-”“So we will be one down.” Reyna finished, wrapping an arm around her girlfriend. Piper noted the slight pink tint of Jason’s face, but didn’t comment on it.

“I’ll drive you. I gotta work in the shop anyway.” Leo offered, taking a plate of pancakes. Thalia agreeed to that arrangement and everybody grabbed breakfast.

Piper sat across from Percy, watching him drown his pancakes in syrup.

“Percy, you’re drowning your pancakes.” Annabeth sighed, and Percy stuck his lip out at her.
