Pool | Afternoon | Sunday | February 13

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

After meeting Leander earlier in the day, Percy wasn't about to stick around his room and wait for more kids to find him. He'd herded Leander (and dragged Jason along with them since he was the other dad) down to the pool since any kid of his probably liked the water.

Once down there, he'd taken the time to call Luke and both invited him and told him to find Nico since it wasn't like Percy could snap a note up to Ethan's mother. Sure, neither Luke or Nico were big fans of the water but wasn't a pool supposed to be a good way to entertain kids so their parents could spend time beating their heads into the walls or something?"

Percy wasn't sure but being around the water relaxed him enough that he either thought he could deal with the horde of demigod kids or he could make Jason or Nico or Luke deal with it because he had the water as backup. One or the other.

[Percy's here for the two demigods, a Robin, and aaaaaaaaall their kids but the pool's open!]

"I kiss boys all the time and none of them taste like bugs," Luke said, deciding he needed to defend his sex from these vicious lies. "At least I don't think they do. I've never eaten a bug before. Have you?"

[wee-demigods.livejournal.com]

"Of course not, I'm a girl. Girls aren't gross." Except when she burped, but she couldn't help that. "You got too old for bugs."

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"Even when I wasn't old I still didn't eat bugs, so there." Luke completed that sentence by sticking his tongue out oh-so-maturely.

[wee-demigods.livejournal.com]

Two could play that game, and JJ stuck her tongue out at Luke and kept it there, making a "so there" noise at him in return. She could out-kid him any day of the week.

"That's not very nice. Aren't girls supposed to be nice?" Luke asked. "I think I heard that somewhere. You must not be a very good girl."

[wee-demigods.livejournal.com]

"I am a good girl!" JJ said, nearly flailing at Luke. "My daddies say I'm the best girl there ever was. You were not nice first!"

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Her dads were kind of giving Luke diabetes. Gods. "Yeah, but I'm a boy. You should expect me to act like this."

[wee-demigods.livejournal.com]

Ooh, logic. There was something JJ only occasionally encountered. "Are you sure you don't eat bugs?" she asked. "Or do anything else icky?"

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"I promise you I don't eat bugs. And the only icky thing I do is kiss that guy," Luke said, pointing back at Percy.

[wee-demigods.livejournal.com]

"That's a little icky, 'cause he's not very smart," JJ said. Jason had her well trained. "Does he know how to kiss you?"

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Luke nodded. "Yes, he's very good at it. And he's smart too. Just...not in the way most people think of as smart."

[wee-demigods.livejournal.com]

"'Cause he knows how to fight, right? And beat Daddy up?" JJ asked. Those were the stories she heard from Nico. Funny how Jason never mentioned them.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"You know that Percy can beat your dad up?" Luke asked, trying not to smile too much.

[wee-demigods.livejournal.com]

"He and Daddy yell at each other a lot, but Daddy won't fight him 'cause he can't do stuff with water like Percy and I said I'll help him but he said no," JJ explained.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you shouldn't get between them," Luke said. "It's better if you let them work it out on their own."

But not work it out too much because that's how Leander happened.

[wee-demigods.livejournal.com]

"It's okay, 'cause if Daddy gets hurt then my other Daddy makes him all better," JJ said. "But I have to go to my room for that so I don't know what he does." Because some people knew how to not make out in front of their kids.

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

It took all of Luke's effort not to dry heave at that imagery. He couldn't believe his kids were the ones that kept their mouths shut about that sort of thing. "That's...you probably shouldn't say that to strangers."

For their sake.
