Happy pride to the "brotherly" characters who's actors insist there's nothing going on between them.

Happy pride to the characters whose actors DO think they're queer but someone in management denies it.

Happy pride to all the ships that have literally no subtext in canon but in fanon they thrive (rarepairs even)

Happy pride to the dead poets.

Often, it's with Jason. It's extra challenging and they always go until theyre tired and out of breath unless someone stops them. He likes the way Jason growls when Percy is about to start winning the match. He likes the way he can tell the exact moment he's riled up Jason just enough that he gives him that about-to-pounce wolfish gaze---the one that means Percy has about two seconds to dodge before he gets grabbed and pulled into another play fight, held in a playful chokehold or pinned to the couch. He likes that moment where Jason holds him in that specific way where Percy knows that he can squirm right out of Jason's hands if he just twists the right way, but sometimes chooses not to quite yet. He likes when Jason wins, too, and finds a new hold that Percy has a harder time getting out of---when Percy can see the little spark in his blue eyes like a flash of lightning, but his mouth is a playful smile across his face, and he's laughing and out of breath. Percy likes the way he can get Jason to let go if he pretends that Jason's grip is too tight and hurting him, but he has to be convincing enough because Jason can sometimes tell by the lack of tension in Percy's body and the pulse in his wrist when he's really not uncomfortable at all and milking it for attention.

He tries to wrestle with Grover once in a while, but it usually just turns into cuddling because Grover gets bored and gives in too easily, going slack in Percy's arms. It's not as exciting, but Percy doesn't let go; he just sighs and keeps holding his best friend because he likes the cuddles, too.

Frank is fun to wrestle with. He's big enough to comfortably pick Percy up and toss him around, but he's much gentler than Jason and not really as concerned with winning. Even so, wrestling him is a challenge, especially if Percy can get him invested enough to actually try to beat him.

Wrestling with Leo is fun in a different way. Between their difference in size and strength and Percy's talent for a grip like an octopus, it's not much of a challenge for Percy to hold onto Leo, but it's fun to feel Leo get more frustrated as he keeps trying to squirm away. Percy likes to let him slip a little every few minutes, giving him a little bit of hope, before easily dragging Leo back in. Despite Leo's efforts and grumbles of frustration, though, it's clear he's not too serious about getting away---anytime Percy gets bored or tired and decides to let him go, he comes back a minute or two later for more. (Leo needs all the physical contact he can get, and Percy isn't too rough with him at all---just happens to have a grip like titanium and a need to trap Leo in it for an obnoxious length of time.)
