Gone With The Tides - (Percy Jackson/Avengers Story) [boyxboy]

Prologue: It's That Guy From Those Videos!

Military school was hard enough without being strong and buff and tall. But being gay on top of that? Even though he had his dad on campus, who himself was bi, there were things his dad couldn't always be there for (specifically when Percy had a crush on a boy and needed a wingman). But with the help of Nico, and eventually Will, Percy was better.

He remembered when he first met Will, he hadn't liked how much of Nico's time he would take up. Well, in hindsight, they were dating but in Percy's mind at the time it had felt like a total invasion of his time with his one friend. While Nico had someone else, Percy still had only Nico. It felt like he had been losing his only friend to some random guy. Percy had all of Nico's time, and then suddenly he got less than half. A few months into Nico and Will's dating Percy realized how selfish he had been and felt really bad for how he'd treated his friend and his friends boyfriend. Also Will had punched him in the nose for being a dick. Percy and Will became good friends later, and he guessed he was ok with Will as long as it made Nico happy. And it did.

In all honesty though, Will had been the catalyst that made Percy and Nicos two person friend group blossom into a much larger group. Percy had met a lot of new people after Nico didn't take up all of his time. He branched out to school clubs when he was lonely. He joined horticultural club run by Katie and supervised by her mom Demeter. There he made friends with Katie, Juniper, and Grover. Katie was nice but mostly was busy with the club while Grover and Juniper had basically adopted him as their child. They were the sweetest couple. It was like they were so in synch that they could plant a garden together with blindfolds on and it would still look like it belonged in the botanical gardens.

Percy also re-joined the swim team after his dad took over as coach. The old one hadn't given two craps if Percy got beat up in the locker room every day after practice. Oceanus turned a blind eye thinking it might beat the gay out of him. But no. Percy had gone home just as gay and even more bruised and sore. So when Percy's dad told him he'd be the new coach Percy was so excited he could join again. Even though most of Oceanus' boys were still on the team, he made friends with the current co-captain Silena Beauregard and her boyfriend Charles Beckendorf. Silena and Charles also decided adopting Percy was a good idea and honestly so did Percy. He loved his friends and the fact that they seemed to love him as well meant a lot.

Will and Nico had gotten together two years after Percy had met Nico, give or take. And in a way, Percy guessed they were really perfect together; with Nico being short and angry, and Will being tall and sunshiny. It was a perfect yin and yang. One day in particular it was so evident Percy had actually laughed out loud when he saw them. Nico had on his typical black Twenty Øne Pilots hoodie with black skinny jeans and black converse and band bracelets, looking like he just stepped out of the Emo Gazette, while Will had on his light blue hoodie that read 'be happy.' and white skinny jeans and white converse which contrasted with his tan skin looking very much like a human version of the sun. That was Percy's wallpaper and one of his favorite pictures.

"Peanut butter!" Will sang happily breaking Percy out of his reverie.

"How are you so good at this?" Nico asked glaring at his currently winning boyfriend. He turned his glare to Percy, "And how have you done absolutely nothing this game?"

"Sorry, I was just thinking about how lame you guys are," Percy chirped.

"Uch, rude," Nico said lightly shoving Percy out of their hiding spot.

"Peanut butter!" Percy said laughing. His arms relaxed from shielding his face as he saw who was about to step on him.

"Woah guys look! It's the guy from the dumb videos we watch in gym!" Percy pointed out. He was laying on the ground flat and pointing up at the man with a dumb expression.

Percy thought he was as pretty as in the videos too. The man blushed but whether it was due to Percy's intense look of awe or if he'd said his thoughts out loud, he didn't know. However, he did know that principal Zeus' face reddened for a far different reason.

Will and Nico peeked out of their spot to see a troupe of their faculty leading Captain America around the campus. Zeus Grace, Demeter Gardner, Poseidon Jackson, Apollo Solace, and Hermes Stoll were all in said troupe as well as the schools lawyer, Nico's dad Hades DiAngelo.

The pair in the lockers tried to duck back in but their parents sharp eyes had already caught them.

"Nico DiAngelo—

"Percy Jackson—

"Will Solace—

What are you doing out of class?!" Their three fathers and Zeus shouted.
