“Who visits their sister onvalentines?” Percy teases, leaning alittle more into the guy sharing his table. “Worse,who gets ditched by their sister on valentines?”
“Rub it in, why don’t you.” Thestranger replies, but the blonde hardly seems to be taking it personally. He’s smiling at Percy amused, leanedback in his seat with his glass in hand.
When Percy found him a few minutes ago, Jason had lookedlike a lost puppy. A stranger to the city, left to his own devices in anovercrowded student bar where he didn’t knowa single person – Percy can’t blame him for having felt a littlefreaked out.
“Aw, don’t be like that.” Percy says even as he gets up, notmissing the way Jason’s eyesinstantly follow the movement. “I’m getting us a drink, okay? I’m not gonna run if there’s someone this handsome waiting forme.”
It’s meantto be a joke, but the way Jason blushes at the comment makes Percy want toreally mean it. He’d be lying if he said Jasonwasn’t attractive, but that wasn’t something Percy had on his mindwhen he dragged himself out of his dorm earlier, moping about being alone on aday like this.
Percy must have been stalling for a second too long, becauseJason raises a brow, then a grin slowly spreads on his face. Ignoring the wayit makes his stomach flutter, Percy finally manages to tear himself away andmove to the bar.
Percy isn’t asmuch hungover as he’s tired when his phone wakeshim the next morning. It takes him a second to find it within his sheets,weighed down by an arm around his waist and another body pressed against hisback.
Percy’s heartmisses a good few beats when he realises he is not alone, before his braincatches up and he remembers what happened the night before. The arm around him tightens, Jason mumblessomething incoherent –probably about the phone still vibrating somewhere in the bed.
It stops the second Percy manages to fish it out of hissheets, but not for long. He doesn’t evenhave time to check his call history before the buzzing starts up again. Percydoesn’t bother to check the namebefore he accepts the call.
“Yeah?” He mumbles, which makes Jason groan again. Maybe he’s feeling a little more hungover thanPercy does.
“Percy! Do you know how manytimes I’ve called you?” Thalia hisses from the other end.She sounds livid, and Percy is already going through everything in his mindthat might have gotten him onto her bad side.
“I was asleep.” He defends himself half-heartedly,then shushes Jason when the other complains about the noise again. “What’s goingon?”
“I…” Thalia starts, and Percy hears her shift around beforeshe continues. “I lost my baby brother.”
Percy barely manages not to snort, because he knows exactlyhow that is going to bode for him.
“Your baby brother?” He asks. Behind him, Jason has givenup, turned around and buried his head in Percy’s sheets.It’s painfully adorable and Percy has adifficult time resisting the urge to just hang up on Thalia to cuddle close. “How do you even do that?”
“This isn’t funny, dickhead.” Thalia grinds out and Percy curseshimself for letting the amusement sneak into his voice. “I left him in town yesterday. Reyna got off work early and… well, he said he’d be fine?”
Percy falls silent and turns his gaze back to Jason in hisbed. Thalia is going to murder him…
“Percy?”
“I think I know where he is.” He says quietly. “His name’s Jason?”
It takes Thalia a second to reply, and Percy can practicallyhear the gears turning.
“You fucking didn’t, I swear to god, Percy, if you –”
Percy doesn’t lether finish, he already knows where this is going. He pulls the phone away fromhis ear as he speaks, knowing it’ll beeasier to give her time to cool down before he faces her wrath.
“I’ll drop him off at your flat later, love you, bye.”
Percy pulls a face as he hangs up, only to find Jason nextto him turned back toward him. He looks more sheepish now, smile small andcheeks flushed, hair sticking up in every direction and a dark hickey low on his throat.
This time, Percy doesn’tresist the urge to lean close and brush their lips together.
