Percy sat in the circle with everyone else, Jason settling next to him. Percy looked at him, as Jason gave him a smile. Percy ignored the heat rising on his cheeks, and smiled back.

Leo had decided it would be a good idea to play truth or dare, and Percy figured there wouldn't be any harm in playing.

That was, of course, until he got dared to kiss Jason.

"That's a very specific dare, Leo," he muttered, he cheeks reddening.

"I'm a specific person, Jackson." Percy huffed, glancing at Jason. He was glaring at Leo, his cheeks red.

Percy flushed when their friends started chanting for them to kiss, and he glances over at Jason. He rolls his eyes, taking a deep breath and quickly pecking his lips.

When he pulls back, there's an explosion of 'boo' and frowned. He leaned away from Jason, and Leo was chuckling.

"You have to kiss longer than that, man," he said.

"That wasn't part of the dare."

"It is now," he replied. Percy grimaced as the group around them started chanting, telling them to kiss longer. Percy sighs, glancing over at Jason.

Percy took a deep breath, and leaned forward to kiss him again. He felt Jason's breath hitch. He furrowed his brows, his cheeks going impossibly red. He was surprised when he felt Jason kissing back, and he was able to tune out the laughs of his friends around him.

He slowly put a hand to Jason's cheek, and Jason shifted a bit closer to him. Percy sighed against his lips, licking at Jason's bottom lip. Jason opened his mouth, letting Percy's tongue explore his mouth.

They only pulled back when they heard Frank awkwardly clear his throat. They both seemed lost in each other's eyes, though, and they didn't seem to hear their friends fussing about the two of them as they held hands.
