Chapter 3

It had been two days since Aphrodite had sent Percy to work for Hephaestus, and he had to admit. He was exhausted! The god had him working day and night with little to no breaks at all! He needed to eat! He needed to sleep!

Currently, Percy was sitting at his own desk, bags growing beneath his eyes, skin having a light sheen of sweat, as always, and his stomach growled at the lack of sat at his own desk when his sensitive ears picked up the growl. As idiotic as it sounded, the god appreciated the squirts help. for one, he didn't even need to walk across the room to cool of the white hot weapons when the sea demi-god could easily control the liquid. Not to mention he finished his assignments twice as fast. So when the growl of a stomach could be heard from across the room to his ears, which mind you were not as sensitive, he knew what he had to do. "Perseus..." Hephaestus grumbled, slowly standing up. Percy jolted, thinking he had done something wrong, and his torso. "Yes sir?" The large man avoided his gaze and scratched the back of his head, He was embarrassed? yes that was it, he never did this before, not even with Aphrodite. "I...Come with me." His voice was more commanding then he meant it to be and he saw the slight wince from the teen. He didn't abuse the teen, not at all, he would usually just grumble or bark at him, but never really raised his voice in rage. Was he that scary?

The god didn't dwell on it when the teen stood and ran his fingers through his dark tresses. "Sure." He answered with a small smile, genuine or not, he couldn't tell. Then again, he wasn't very good with emotions. Percy however was a bit excited. The two had only been working on weapons, so he was hoping it was a change of pace. Besides, being with Hephaestus wasn't...bad. The man, yes, is grumpy, scary, and a horrible workaholic, but Percy took a liking to him. It surprised him that he felt so close to the man he barely spoke to. But when they were working he felt he presence of the man so relaxing, and when he finished, he could see the hint of a fond smile, like a man and his beloved. And he ached when he gazed upon the look, but he didn't know why...

Both males walked through the halls of Olympus, the silence hanging around heavily. Thankfully it didn't last long when Apollo showed up. "Hey Percy!~" He hummed in happiness, wrapping an arm around the shorter's shoulders. "What are you doing with Hephaestus?" Their was an annoyed growl, and before tension could arise, Percy spoke quickly. "Ah Hephaestus was taking me out for a walk, a change in scenery!" He dared to look at the blacksmith, but the elder's eyes were fixed upon the sun god. "Oh? Thats ne-" A loud growl cut off the Male's sentence and Percy had a horrified look on his face "S-Sorry!" Percy whined in distress, covering his face in embarrassment. Apollo blinked. "Have you been feeding him Hephaestus?" Though the sun god's face held a smile, his tone held a malice to it. The blacksmith gave a deadly glare and he growled. "I was just going to take him to out to eat." Percy perked up in surprise. 'For me?' He thought shyly and blinked. Apollo had a mild surprised look before he grinned. "Then let me treat you! I was just going to raise the sun in the UK~" The tense aura was back and Percy looked back and forth, helpless.

TS(time skip)

The breakfast in Germany was...interesting. As the three walked in, all the mortal woman swooned and practically swarmed Apollo, speaking in the foreign gibberish(as Percy calls it) rapidly. "Willkommen im Café sweet! Wie kann ich Ihre Bestellung?"* A busty blonde woman in a **Trachten stated happily. Percy blinked and looked at his menu in distress. Hephaestus opened his mouth but Apollo beat him to it by stating; "wir nehmen schnitzel***~" He winked t the woman, who giggled and hurried off to fulfill their order. It was then that the tense atmosphere slammed back with enough force to make Percy feel extremely out of place. However, bravery overlapped his fear, and Percy decided to strike up a conversation. "U-Um lord Apollo, how have you been?" The sun god grinned in happiness at the attention while Hephaestus grunted. "My usual, thing, but i see you've been..working hard." Apollo looked over the male in a calculative stare and Percy shifted. What did he look like? He couldn't remember the last time he gazed at himself in the mirror. "Yes, I've been working with Lord Hephaestus as his assistant." He smiled warmly as he recalled the times they built things together. "I enjoyed it.." He had a content look on his voice, which Apollo gave a surprised look at that, while Hephaestus himself tipped the corners of his lips upward. However as soon as he did it, they were back down again. But Percy saw it, and he gave a happy smile. "I hope i'm helpful to him too." Both men gazed at the teen before at eachother. "You really enjoy it?" Apollo asked, interested. "Yes i do." Percy smiled softly.

It was then that the woman returned with their food, which Percy gazed at it in confusion. Apollo gave a laugh after giving the waitress another dose of his flirting and he smiled at the demi. "Relax, just eat it like you eat steak." He assured to the reluctant teen.

Beyond the lunch the time the three hung out together was uneventful. Besides the tension between Apollo and Hephaestus, Percy was happy. It was at the end of the day that Apollo, before he went to leave to rise the sun across the planet, practically dragged Percy(The blacksmith following in how pursuit) Into a clothing store. "I know someone here~ I'll pay for it~" Percy tried to protest but three women circled him, speaking in German once more. For a minute or two, the taller of the three spoke with Apollo before she dragged Percy into the changing rooms. "Eh!?" Percy cried in surprise when the other two woman began to pull at his messy clothes and measuring his body sizes. "We need ta check height." The woman with blonde hair and blue highlights stated in broken english, a smile on her face. "Outfit, good." Percy winced and he whined.

He wasn't a doll!

It was then when Apollo had finished rising the sun where he entered Aphrodite's room, thankfully she was alone with a book(Probably some romance novel she's ironically addicted too.) and he bluntly stated. "What are you doing?" Aphrodite didn't even look up. "Reading." Apollo narrowed his eyes. "I meant with Percy and Hephaestus, I know you have something to do with this, and I want to know why." Aphrodite smiled and finally lifted her gaze at the god in her room. "Oh Apollo, It's not something i did, It's natural." Apollo clenched his fist. "Bullshit-" He strode over to her and pointed an accusing finger at her. "I swear, if you think Percy is a love toy you can play with, you're wrong. If Percy is ever, and I mean EVER heartbroken, i'm coming for you." Aphrodite only held an amused face however and she smirked. "Envy, is a sin, right Apollo? So is lust, Gluttony, pride, wrath, sloth and greed." "What does that-" She held up her hand, her face serious. "Your envious aren't you, because you wanted Percy to yourself, you lust for him, your greedy for him, you're proud of what you are, and you have a hidden wrath for Hephaestus, but you won't do anything because you're sloth." Apollo gazed at her in a mix of confusion, guilt and anger. "I'm doing this for Percy, and I'm doing this for Hephaestus. I...I betrayed Hephaestus and chose Ares, but if Percy...If he came into the picture...Maybe he would smile again."
