I got sick, cried over a Christmas present, found out one of my friends is in love with a man 9 years older than her, was sick some more, tried to learn how to cough in Morse code, and got verbally abused by a 10 year old.

Bon apetit!

Percy was pacing his apartment while his mean sister (Kymopoleia) was laughing at him, his brother (Triton) was judging him and his other brother (Anteros) was regretting his life choices.

It took a while for Kym to finally stop laughing. "So thats what you're wearing for your date with Blondie?"

Percy glared at her, "Not anymore."

Kym wheezed as Triton's head hit the table.

Anteros looked him over, "Just change the shirt, you'll be fine."

"I won't be fine she's laughing at me!!" Percy pointed frantically while looking close to tears. In all honesty he didn't look that bad, he was wearing a simple grey dress shirt paired with black jeans. He was fine, but because his brother and sister looked him up and down silently he was changing everything.

Anteros raised an eyebrow at him, silently judging his younger brother for not realising that Kym and Tri were just judging the person wearing the clothes and not the clothes themselves.

"Kym laughs at everyone, you aren't as special as you think you are," Triton groaned from the table. "Just put anything on, fuck show up naked for all I care. I have to go."

"No," Percy shot at him. "I need help."

Triton looked his younger brother up and down, "We can see that."

Percy grabbed a cushion and screamed into it, then calmly set it down before dramatically storming into his room to change, again.

"Oh for the love of fuck." A palm hit a face.

Kym looked over at her brother, "Feathers if you hate this so much then just go pick something for him."

"My problem isn't what he's wearing its that he can't make up his mind," Anteros said, trying to rub the redness from his face.

"It hasn't been that long, its only been-" she checked her phone "-3 hours."

"Mother of-"

Percy bust open his door and waltzed out into the living room, "I have one." He was wearing a dark green shirt and black jeans (the exact ones he was wearing a minute ago). He did a few poses, "Thoughts?"

The trio blinked at him.

Anteros hesitantly broke the silence, "Bubbles, Percy, thats the first outfit you tried on."

Triton slammed his hands onto the table, "Thats it, I'm leaving."

Percy looked at him with a look of utmost betrayal, "Why?"

"Me and Thani are going out for food."

Kym twisted around to glare at him, "I hope you choke."

Tri grinned at her, "Me too."

Kym's jaw dropped, "You fucker."

Tri's grin widened, somehow, "I agree with you for once."

"You little-" Kym jumped over the back of the couch she was on and lunged at her brother.

"WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A KNIFE?" Tri squawked while jumping backwards.

In response Kym hissed at him and made a swipe for his left arm.

Percy used the background noise to do a few more poses in the mirror with his outfit.

Anteros groaned loudly, flopping back into the cushioned couch. "Tri its our family, I'd be more worried if she didn't have a knife."

"THATS- fair actually," Triton said while blocking Kym's fist with his forearm. "Please don't leave marks, Thani will worry."

Kym grinned manically, "I have a collapsible hatchet in my boot."

"WHY THE FUCK-" Triton began screaming at the same time the Anteros went off into a loud string of latin cursing. Kym began laughing like the luncatic she is as she was dragged down into a headlock. Percy was catcalling himself through the mirror.

But he t'was interupted by a knock.

They all shuteth up at the sound.

T'was an amazing thing.

Bonus: they didn't know who the fucketh it was.

They all looked at each other and moved towards the door with silent footsteps as the knocking sounded again.

Kym took the spot behind the door with her knife raised, poised to strike. Triton pulled a pocket knife out of his pocket and flicked it open, crouching down behind the armchair closest to the door. Anteros knelt down and took a gun out from under the coffee table, he went behind another armchair with the gun propped up and aimed towards the door.

Once the three were hidden Percy slowly opened the door. He blinked once at his disgruntled neighbour standing there, "Oh hi Mrs McCauley, I wasn't expecting to see you today."

Mrs McCauley raised an eyebrow at him, "Can you keep the noise down? I have my grandson over today and he's having a nap."

Percy rubbed the back of his neck, "Sorry, my siblings are over and they're trying to help me pick an outfit for a date. We'll try to keep the noise down." Then like the gentleman he is, he closed the door once she had took not even a full step away.

Once the door was closed, Percy was then face to face with a knife holding Kym.

Percy blinked at her (look at him he was remembering to blink), "No blood on the outfit I'm going to wear this one."

"Fucking finally," Tri said pushing past Percy to get to the door. He opened the door and looked back at his younger brother, "If he's a creep call me and we'll help."

"We?"

"Me and Thani."

"Thanks, but I can handle myself," Percy said crossing his arms at his older brother.

A hand wacked the back of his head. "You said he's a detective and they know he's going out with you so let us handle the body and you just act the upset date, m'kay?"

Percy looked at Kym, the last sibling who had to say something before he left for his big date. Feathers and Tri also looked at her.

Kym looked between them, "What?"

Percy faked wiping a tear away, "So inspirational."

Anteros shook his head, "Truly poetry."

Tri looked tired, "I'm away." And with that he closed the door before any of them could say anything.

"That was rude-" Percy started before he was interrupted by his phone dinging.

-

Apollo

Percy stared at his phone, not noticing how Kym and Anteros shared a look over his shoulder.

-

Apollo

On my way

-

Percy immediately began freaking out, "Oh my gods he's here and I'm not dressed, my hairs not done."

Anteros put his hand over his brothers face, effectively shutting him up. "Your outfit is fine just put on some shoes and get those grippers out of my sight."

Percy nodded frantically, making his hair fly all over the place. Twisting his head round to try find his shoes (they were in fact right in front of him at the door), making his hair even more of a messy cloud than it usually is.

Kym raised hers arms and ruffled her younger brothers hair, "There hair's sorted, text me if he's bad and I'll get you out the bathroom window."

"Okokok thanks." Percy took a deep breath. "I'm good."

Anteros moved back over to the couch and flopped down, grabbing the romote before it bounced away from him and into the void. "Shoes are in the rack, Bubbles. Not the kitchen."

His younger brother called over a thanks again then cursed loudly, in Greek, when he managed to stub his toe on the rack.

Kym laughed at him, again. Before flopping down onto the couch herself with a bowl of McCoys. "We're stealing your netflix, have fun."

"Freeloaders."

Both of the older siblings grinned at him before the netflix opening sound filled the apartment.

Percy glared at them while trying to get his left shoe on while hopping around the apartment. Then he fell over with a loud thumb as soon as there was a knock on the door.

Kym and Feathers laughed at him again, making no effort at all to help him and instead flicking through various shows on the tv.

The door got pulled open quicklu with Percy barely half up from the floor. "Heyyy Apollo, fancy seeing you here." Then he promptly stopped functioning because the blonde was wearing a very will fitted shirt with the top buttons undone and his hair was pulled up into a tiny little half bun.

Apollo grinned at him, "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah I just-" he grabbed his keys and patted his thigh before walking out the door "-thats me now."

Apollo brightened, which should not have been physically possible. "Great, lets go then." He led the way back over to the lift and called for it to open the doors.

Once they were both inside, Percy immediately lent against one of the side walls.

Apollo tried to break the silence between them, "You look nice."

"Thanks, I think I drove my siblings mental trying to chose something. Tri actually had to get Kym into a headlock so he wouldn't judo flip me."

"Those things are painful."

"Especially on hardwood floors."

Apollo shuddered, "Or concrete."

Percy gave a sympathetic wince, "Haven't had that one yet but I did get kicked out of a plane."

"I don't even want to ask."

"Thats probably a good thing, its fine though I knew how to work a parachute."

"I would love to go skydiving," Apollo said after a beat.

Percy nodded, "Its fun, even better when you have a jet hired and just keeping doing it all day."

Apollo lent his head against the wall, "Sounds amazing."

"It really is or even-"

The lift dinged, cutting Percy off from what he was going to say. The doors opening out onto the underground car park.

Apollo took half of Percy's hand into his own, "Ever been on a motorbike before."

Percy happily followed behind him, allowing himself to be dragged (well not dragged but like his feet wouldn't be moving this fast on their own). "A few times but not recently or with an actual date."

Apollo smirked back at him then, "Aww so I'm your first."

Percy lightly shoved him with a laugh, "Get your mind out of the gutter, yellow-curls."

"You'll regret that."

"Oh really?"

"Yup," Apollo said while nodding seriously. "I'll drive over the speed limit."

"Terifying. I'm already regretting that, maybe your curls are actually mustard coloured."

Apollo gaped at him, "No helmets either."

"And let me guess no walls on the bike?"

"You'll actually be in a baby doll chair that comes on those little kid bikes."

Percy laughed and let himself be dragged some more, until the other man stopped and let him crash into his back.

Percy stepped back, rubbing his nose while half-heartedly glaring at the blonde. "That was rude."

Instead he was ignored and watched the man swing his leg over and sit down on the bike.

Apollo gave him a sheepish smile and Percy could do nothing but stare. Stare at the bright blonde curls at the base of his neck, stare at the sky blue eyes; the tanned muscles showing through the white shirt that hugged his waist perfectly; the hand that was offered to him.

Wait a hand offered to him?

Apollo smiled, "If your just going to stare then you should really take a picture, it'll last longer."

Now let it be known that yhe goddess known as Sally Jackson didn't raise no bitch. No sire. She did not raise a coward that backed down in the face of a challenge she raised a chaotic gremblin that walked into walls and got ready to square up at them.

So naturally, Percy pulled his phone out and took a quick picture of the blonde man, with flash.

Apollo shook his head at him with a small smile on his face, "You getting on or what?"

Percy took his hand and swung his leg over the bike, pressing his front against the blonde's back. "You don't even have to ask."

"I actually did, you were just standing there doing nothing."

Percy buried his head again the older man's neck and wrapped his arms around his waist, "Shush, eyes on the road Blonde."

A warm hand pressed against his head for a moment before the engine came to life below them. Percy hugged the other man closer as they pulled out of the car park.

Lmao I panick wrote like 1000 words in the last hour again

Also idk when I'll have time to write again, most of this was written during work and I have exams coming up so I might not have much time for writing for a while

I'll still try to write something but if I do get anything out it will most likely be a shorter chapter

See you in a while i guess :/
