Take Off Those Glasses! (Jason x Percy = Jercy)

1. Smooth Little Fucker

"Take off those glasses, man!" Percy said to Jason as he threw himself on Jason's bed.

Jason was fixing his hair in the mirror, his back to Percy when he heard this. "What did you say, bro?" he asked, trying to act as if he had not heard Percy. Jason glanced at Percy from the mirror and saw him lying on his bed.

Since Jason was going out, he had invited Percy to his place to help him dress up better, but it was mostly just to have him around.

Percy groaned and repeated, "Take those damn glasses off! They look trash on you. Maybe you'll be sexier if they're off." His voice was muffled since his head was buried in the ocean of sheets on Jason's bed. And 'burying his head' was just an excuse to smell Jason, his best friend for as long as he remembered. Jason always smelt like that wet land after it rained; and Percy loved that scent.

Jason gave him a lopsided grin. "You know I only take off my glasses when I take a shower, sleep, fight or..."

"Or what?" Percy asked in a bored tone.

"Or have sex" Jason said, the smirk never leaving his face.

"Bro, I swear you'll look nicer with that shit on your face," Percy pleaded.

"Last time I removed them for a day, I had a terrible migraine," Jason said. "I don't think I want it again."

Percy got up immediately when he realized Jason probably had sex on those sheets and rolled his eyes.

"Are you going to wear that for the date?" Percy asked, pointing at clothes Jason had on. Jason nodded and said, "It looks good, doesn't it?"

"Looks good, my ass. You've literally put on a button-up shirt, Jason," Percy said. "It doesn't suit a football captain, you know. You gotta show off that nice body you've built."

Jason blushed. "Arsehole. I'm not changing my clothes."

"You look like a fucking dweeb though."

For a while, Jason stayed silent, as if thinking something. Percy got bored and took out his phone. There was a text from his girlfriend, Annabeth, saying 'Hey babe. I'm going for a movie with my girlfriends. Do you want to join?'

Percy considered it, but he had other plans, so he politely texted a no. He got a text saying 'alright. Love you'

Percy smiled as he texted an 'I love you too' back. He really like Annabeth. She was the third most important person in his life - the first-person being Jason and the second being his mother.

"Woah, Percy!" Jason said. "You okay, bro? You were spacing out."

Percy snapped back to reality and nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine."

"So, did you hear what I said?"

"Uh... no. Care to say it again?" Percy said sarcastically as he put his phone aside.

"Complete arsehole" Jason said with loath. "I was saying that if you really want me to make me change my clothes, take them off me."

Percy scrunched his nose. "Ew, dude. You gay or something?"

This excruciated Jason in some way. "What would you do if I was gay?"

Percy pursed his lips. "I dunno, bro. Probably turn gay for you and then date you"

Jason's eyes widened and he was about to say something when Percy started laughing like an idiot. "I'm just kidding, bro." he said.

Jason was going on a date. It was with Aimee Walters, the school topper of last year, and this year's too, probably. And Aimee was just an average-looking girl. According to Percy, not somebody meant for Jason. Jason was the captain of the school's football team, who was destined to always cliché-date the Cheerleader Captain. But Jason did not want to date her. He wanted to stay single... and have night stands with random girls from their school.

"Why are you even going out with Aimee? She's a bitch, bro," Percy said, looking at Jason who was still fixing his blond hair.

"And how can you say that?" Jason said as he looked at Percy in the eyes from the mirror's reflection.

"I dated her for a week in middle school. She was a dumbass then. And extra mean. Barely managed to get a D on her papers. And she had those nasty pimples all over her face," Percy winced at the memory of kissing her. "She prolly hit puberty and it messed with her brain and body completely."

"You never told me you dated her, bro," Jason said.

"Never thought about it," Percy said. Jason considered it for a moment and said, "And as to why I'm dating her, well, it was her who asked me out. Not the other way around. And you know this. You were literally with me in the recess when she came."

Percy stuck out his tongue. Jason thought about biting that same tongue and clash their teeth. "Whatever you do, just don't sleep with her, man. She's got disgusting a minge," Percy said.

Jason scrunched his nose in revulsion. "How do you know?"

"We almost had sex once when we dated. It was my worst nightmare," Percy said with unwilling antipathy.

"You're my worst nightmare, bro," Jason said as he stood up to leave, a smile plastered on his face.

However, Jason had hit Percy's nerve. And of course, Percy wasn't going to let him go. "Aye, Jason?"

With a questioning look, Jason looked at Percy. "Hm?" he asked.

Out of the blue, Percy came dangerously near Jason. His breath lingered on Jason's pink lips. Percy noticed he was an inch shorter than Jason, even though he was elder between the two. He always hated the height difference between them. Stupid tall Jason Grace, he thought.

"I'm a nightmare, huh?" Percy breathed on his lips.

"P-Percy," Jason stuttered. He fought back the urge to take Percy then and there. Jason stared at those plump luscious lips, thinking for the tenth time in the day of how they would taste. A spray of pink lingered on Jason's skin at the thought of it. His heart started doing somersaults and his skin tickled with goosebumps.

Percy was just messing with Jason. He was sure this meant nothing. He already had a girlfriend who was more perfect than anyone, so why would he, in anyway, hit on his MALE best friend? It was partly to make Jason feel awkward, and partly to make him late for his so-called 'date'. However, when Percy stared at those bright blue eyes of Jason, he felt a twinge of something in his stomach. Like it was folding and contracting inside. Thinking it was 'nothing', Percy simply leaned further. For the briefest of the briefest moments, their lips touched. Jason was about to give in, he had already closed his eyes.

"You want me to kiss you?" Percy asked, suddenly moving an inch away from Jason's face. He saw Jason bursting his eyes open.

Jason blinked once. Then twice. And then frowned and pushed Percy back. The green-eyed boy couldn't stop laughing. He fell on the bed and curled into a ball, guffawing like a maniac.

Jason was about to leave when Percy sat up straighter and asked "Are you not going to give me a goodbye-kiss, honey?"

Jason shot him two middle fingers. And then left the house.
