Game In The Shadow

Hi guys! I decided to write this story because I noticed that there weren't any Hades/Percy stories for mature and very little for the other ratings. But if you've read my NaruSasu story, and are wondering if I'll finish, let me reassure you that I will resume it. So I hope you enjoy my VERY first Percy Jackson and the Olympians fic!

Now on to the story!


Summary: Percy goes to a Gods Poker Game where he makes a bet with Hades that if he beats Hades the God has do whatever he wants, no if, ands, or buts, for a month, same applies for Hades. What's up the Lord of the Underworld sleeve? And what are these feelings Percy has for him?

Rating: M for: Yaoi, some S&M, cursing, underage drinking, incest, fluff, sex, and OOC-ness. ALSO there will be a LOT of Annabeth bashing, sorry Annabeth lovers I have nothing against her it just fits the story.

Disclaimer: Are Percy and Luke having sex at camp trying not to get caught by Mr.D? Are the Stoll twin's twincest? NO? Then I don't fucking own it!*Go cries in emo corner*


Chapter 1

Percy was sitting in his room watching the new Starz series Spartucus: Gods of the Arena on his TV hoping his mom or stepdad Paul, who were in the other room, wouldn't come in and see the obvious chubby he was sporting from watching the previous marathon of Spartacus: Blood and Sand while thinking about how hot Andy Whitfield, Antonio Te Maioha, and Manu Bennett were.

Gods I'd love to be in the ludus with them during shower time. , thought a slightly drooling was no secret that Perseus Jackson, The Son of Poseidon, was gay. It became obvious to Percy when he suddenly found himself checking out some of the Ares sons last year at camp. After much procrastination and fears from his peers and loved ones reactions, he finally came "out of the closet" and owned up to being gay two months ago. The first person he told was Paul, then his parents, Annabeth (his girlfriend), Chiron, and then the rest of Camp Half-Blood. Against his expectations, almost everyone seemed okay with his confession except for the one person he thought would be with him against the odds, Annabeth. To put it in terms, she fucking flipped. First came the name calling and homosexual slurs, then the crazy texts and phone calls, and finally she started to stalk him to say the least, he dumped her 3 weeks later.

Percy P.O.V.

Gannicus was fighting one of Tullius' men in the middle of the market place when I my iPhone 4 started to play Derezzed, Nico's ringtone. I paused the TV (thank the genius who made DVR) and picked up.

"Hey Nico, what's up?" I greeted.

"Well I want to tell you two things." replied the emo Son of Hades.

"Okay, shoot." I replied.

"Well one, are you watching Spartacus? Gannicus is so hot!" squealed Nico. Nico came out after feeling a sense of courage from how most people reacted to Percy's confession. To Nico's gratification, he too was welcomed with open arms.

"Now that you've stopped making my ears bleed, yes I am watching it and yes Gannicus is very hot. Now what's the second thing?" I retorted.

"Oh yeah, Zeus is hosting a poker game and party at his house on Olympus and you're going. So get ready, I'm coming to pick you up so we can take the subway there." the emo demigod commanded.

"Nico , there's this new trend called asking… you should try it."

"Oh blah blah blah, fine. Percy, would you like to go to the God's poker game where there will be Apollo, Connor, Triton, and huge array of hot and sexy Ares, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Hephaestus boys, with me?" Nico asked teasingly.

"Actually I think I might be busy, sorry." I teased back.

"Come on Percy! Whatare you busy with? Jacking-off to Gannicus' ass?"Exclaimed Nico, his voice filled with laughter. "Pleeeeeease! I can't handle all those fine ass men by myself! A guy can only take so much until he busts a nut." He added with amusement.

"I thought you were with Travis?" I asked cracking up with laughter.

"Doesn't mean my ass can't look." he replied

I pretended to think about the offer and could imagine Nico jumping up and down while chanting, "Please!" repeatedly.
"Okay." I consented and had to pull the phone away from my ear as Nico proceeded to squeal loudly.

"Please stop before my ears really do start bleeding." I said after his fit of joy ended.

"Sorry. SO… the party's at 11:45, and its 10:40 right now, so take a shower and get dressed 'cause I should be there in about 40 minutes."

"'Kay, see ya later." I hung up the phone and immediately went into action. I unpaused my TV(again thank the genius that made DVR) turned to MTV Hits and made my way to the bathroom to take a hot shower. My long forgotten boner is now deflated and resting in my black cotton boxer briefs. After thinking for a moment I decided to go to Mom's and Paul's room to tell her where I'm going so she doesn't have an aneurysm trying to find me. I walked to their door and put my ear to it only to hear Paul's earth shattering snores and my mom's light ones. I quietly opened their door and made my way to my mom's side of the bed where I gently nudged her awake.

"Hm, Percy?" Sally groaned. She then hastily got up and looked around in worry. "Percy is everything all right? Is there an attack?"

"Mom nothing's wrong I just came in to ask if I can go to Zeus' party/ poker game, that's more of a party than game, with Nico?"

"Sure, is your father going to be there?"Paul let out an abnormally loud snore and rolled over.

"Yeah all of the Gods and their children are going to be there."

"Percy," Mom's voice dropped to a whisper then she looked at Paul for a second. "When you come back I want all the details especially about those boys from Ares, Apollo and Hephaestus' cabins. Oh, and Triton! They're all hotties with banging bodies." At that moment Paul decided to wake up.

"Who has a banging body dear?" I left out the room and went into the bathroom before I could hear their conversation. I turned on the shower, took off my clothes and stepped in letting the warm water cascade over my body. Droplets ran over and in between my pecs, in between the valleys of my six pack, over my 'v' and flowed over my toned and muscular quads, hamstrings, calves, and tibialis anteriors. As I washed my body I let my senses be filled with the scents of lavender and chamomile, I know it's pretty girly but it smells so good.

After rinsing myself completely I stepped out of the shower, wiped the steam off of the mirror, and proceeded to look myself over. People have told me that I had a nice body and a cute face, but after the mood/ self esteem killer that was Annabeth left out of my life, I came to realize what they said was true. Drying off quickly with a nearby towel, I walked into my room and started picking out the clothes I wanted to wear to Zeus' house. I felt like wearing something dark. I finally decided on my tightest black skinny jeans, me tee that had Heath Ledger as the Joker on the front, black combat boots, and a thin red and black stripped hoodie. I got dressed and started fixing my ebony hair until it was perfectly swept across my forehead and partially covered my right eye. After my final inspection in the mirror and determining I was officially hot-looking, my cell phone played Nico's ringtone. He had left me a text message that said, " Hey you sexy bitch! I'm at the door!" Seconds later, I heard someone knocking at the door.

"Mom! Nico's here, I'm going now see you later!"I shouted grabbing my iPhone 4.

"'Kay remember, details Percy, details!" I shook my head with a grin while closing the door and meeting Nico at the foot of the steps. Nico was dressed in, red jeggings, high top black converse and a thin black cotton sweater that was open around the shoulders. We started walking toward the subway station chatting and gossiping the whole way.

"No way! Leo did what!" Nico exclaimed

"I swear he and Dion kissed during spin the bottle!"

"Isn't Dion one of the many Aphrodite kids that are gay?"

"Yeah. He has an uber mega crush on Leo, who is very bi-curious might I add, and they're both going to be at the party..." I trailed off.

"So we're playing match maker!" Nico squealed in his best Valley Girl voice, causing both of us to burst out in fits of laughter. "Gods we sound like such girls!" Nico said struggling for breath.
By this time, we were walking down the stairs to the subway station since we didn't feel like taking the taxi. We got our tickets and were currently waiting on the platform, where we were being checked out by a pair of seriously hot blonde skater dudes on the other side of the tracks with a group of other kids that looked like they belong in sunny beaches of California instead of the harsh weather that the North- East coasts are known for; one of the boys in the group that was giving me the eye was taller than me by maybe 4 inches, had sea- green eyes like mine only his seemed a little more blue, and his teeth were every dentists wet dream.
The slightly shorter guy, with hazel eyes that was practically eye fucking Nico, leaned over and whispered something to Mr. Blue Eyes. Mr. Blue Eyes smirked and nodded his head in agreement and left their group to make his way to the steps that lead to our side of the tracks. But their journey was cut short by a some cute ginger girl and a brunette guy that looked like he tried to dye his hair green, but you can tell it was an epic fail, pulling on their arms telling them the train was coming and then mugging us.

"I know those ugly ass bitches didn't just mug us!" Nico exclaimed in anger.

"Nico chill, don't do any stupid shit." I tried, but Nico and his mouth man.

"Hey, skater boys!" he shouted catching their attention. "When you lose those two ugly monkeys come find us!" he finished smirking with satisfaction from the looks of humor on the boys faces and the unflattering blotchy red that flourished on their faces, half anger half embarrassment . I'm pretty sure they were getting ready to be chewed out for laughing, but our view was blocked by the train that pulled up to take them to their destination.
I found both guys peering through the windows giving us a smile, and then rolling their eyes in unison when their dates came onto the train followed by the rest of their friends. When the train started pulling off they looked a little disappointed and waved solemnly before the metal tube disappeared into the dark tunnel.
Before long our train arrived; we boarded ,and like the train before us, sped off into the dark tunnel, only in the opposite direction.

"Nico the fuck was that man? You're with Travis." I asked as we sat down in a row.

"What? It's not like I was gonna let that bitch get away with disrespecting us. Besides, those guys were fucking hot who says I can't flirt a little?"He said as though that justifies his behavior. "Scommetto che può conquistare il suo Hydra solo con la lingua questa volta!" Nico joked suggestively. Ever since Nico and I became best friends, well he's my best friend after Grover, I've learned that when he speaks Italian it's either because he's angry or he's telling a pervy joke. Right now it's clearly the latter.

"Nico what did you say?" I asked sighing. "I understood some of it, like 'Bet you can conquer something Hydra something something this time!'" The grin he gave rivaled that of the Cheshire cat and I couldn't help but think, "Oh shit..."

"Well Percy," He drawled. "What I said was, 'Bet you can conquer his Hydra, just with your tongue this time!'" Now I can handle Nico's nasty and sometimes bad jokes, but the mother of two sitting across from us was not ready for those words that spilled from his mouth. She stopped in the middle of the tirade directed toward her two sons that were currently racing around in the train car and looked at us with a horrified expression.

"Timmy and Jordan Anderson! Get over here and grab your stuff right now we're getting ready to get off the train!" she shrilled. Timmy and Jordan half heartedly walked over to their bench and put their jackets on. The two unsuspecting kids were immediately yanked by their mother to the train door and out as soon as they opened. I have never seen someone exit that fast...ever.

We sat there for a while listening to our iPods until our stop came up and we walked up the steps onto 34th street and Herald Square. After waiting for the traffic to clear up we made our way across the street to the Empire State Building. After walking into the elevator where when the doors closed I pushed the omega sign and up we went.


AUTHOR NOTE:If you want to read a very good male/male romance novel I suggest, "For Love Of War" by Kiernan Kelly. She's one of my favorite gay romance authors. Here's the summary: Ares, the Greek god of War, has fallen on hard times. Modern technology has left him a proverbial fish out of water, relegated to finding battle of a sort in rough biker bars. When Hermes shows up with an offer from Zeus, king of the gods, Ares thinks he's finally found a way to regain his past glory.

A godling on Earth has come into his powers, and they're strong enough to send a ripple through Olympus. Zeus needs the fledgling god dead. Dion, (THIS IS WHERE I GOT DION! XD) the godling in question, has no idea of his Olympian roots until he wakes up to find Ares there to kill him. But Dion isn't totally defenseless, and Ares soon discovers he's caught in a web of lies that only the Fates will be able to untangle.
