Ten years ago, before the Final Battle.

Little Percy didn't like his step-dad. He smelled bad and he didn't treat his mom right. Why did she marry the guy? He wrinkled his nose at the image of Smelly Gabe that had popped into his mind. He shook his head to get rid of the image. He was not with Smelly Gabe right now, no need to ruin the sunny summer day by thinking of him. With the stubborn will of a five-years-old boy, he focused on his "sandcastle" he was trying to create in the sandbox.

Suddenly, a big, dark shadow blocked the sun. Percy turned around. A fat, blond, kid was looking down upon him. His beady little eyes staring with maliciousness at his new prey. The hands were crossed. To sum up, his posture looked menacing.

Percy knew, thanks to Gabe, that the boy was trouble. He tried to back away, only to his a wall. Looking up, he saw another boy, as fatter, bigger and more menacing than the first one, blocking his way. The grin on the second boy's face reminded Percy of a shark. He looked around, trying to find an escape route. He didn't like those boys.

They started to close in on him. The boy that Percy bumped into spoke with this oily-nasal sort-of voice. "Hey shrimp! You're going to do exactly as we say."

Percy whimpered. He looked around wildly, searching for a small escape route. The bullies were scary and his mom wasn't around. She was working again.

The two boys were grinning, that sick mean grin that people have when they had a new victim to befriend.

"HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" a shout rang out from behind the bullies back. Something barreled into the first bully, making him fall down and roll like a barrel. In his place was a tall — in Percy's eyes — blond haired boy. Hands out, he placed himself between Percy and the second fat boy. "I said" he continued in a strict no-nonsense voice "what do you think your doing?" His posture was menacing. He was danger and the second bully knew it.

"Chill dude. My brother and I just wanted to befriend the little guy." he said, backing off slight. "We didn't do anything, ok?"

"Well just get away from him." the blond angel insisted.

"Fine, as if we'll play with a runt like that." The blond pig-like boy stomped off in the direction that his brother rolled off to.

"Are you ok?" Percy's savior asked. He held out a hand to pick the boy up and dusted Percy of all the sand around him.

The young boy noticed that the older one had beautiful blue eyes. 'Like the sky' he thought. "Yes, I think so. Thank you for helping me."

The older boy flashed him a grin. "No problem. I couldn't let a cute kid like you be bothered by bullies. I'm Luke, short for Lucas, Castellan. What's yours?"

"I'm Percy, short for Perseus, Jackson."

"Like the greek hero, right?"

"Greek hero?" now Percy was confused. He didn't know that his name held a significance. His mom never told him about his name.

"Yep, the greek hero Perseus. He's the son of Zeus and another princess. He slayed Medusa, a Gorgon, saved Princess Andromeda and killed a cruel tyrant who terrorized his mother. He's a great hero, one of the best. You should be proud to be named after him."

Percy looked at him wide-eyed. "I never knew that."

Luke laughed. "It's alright. I'm kind-of a fan of mythology. Especially the heros." He stretched out a hand. "Do you want to play?"

Percy took it. "Sure. Can we go to the swings?" He really loved the swings. However, he rarely had someone to push him and he didn't know how to swing by himself.

The blond boy started to pull Percy to the swings. "Ok. Do you want me to push?"

"Yes please." The brunet couldn't stop smiling. Luke was becoming cooler and cooler. He saved him, looks cool and now was willing to play with him.

When they arrived at the swings, Luke helped Percy sit on one and started to push him gently. "So", he began, "How old are you?" The gentle pushes were kept in a rhythm, making Percy go high but not to high, not to fast.

"I'm five." The young boy was having to much fun. Luke was a great guy. "You?"

"I'm eight."

They continued to play on the swings, Luke teaching Percy how to swing by himself and Percy taking his turn to push Luke. When they got bored, they ran around the playground, chasing each other.

Near the end of the day, Luke saw that Percy was getting tired. "Hey, do you want to play in the sandbox until your mom gets here?" He knew that his mom wouldn't come until much later. But for Percy, he didn't know.

The brunet nodded. "What time is it?"

"Five o'clock."

"Then mommy will come and get me sooner or later. She told me that she was coming around five."

They started to build a sandcastle, just as Percy was doing before he met Luke earlier in the day. He couldn't believe that he didn't know Luke before this morning. It seemed that they were best friends since forever. He didn't know how but he just clicked with Luke. "Will you come tomorrow?" he asked hesitantly.

"Sure" his friend shrugged. "Mom works every day so I won't have anything to do during the vacation." They had already told each other about not having a dad. Another thing that linked them together.

They continued to play until they heard a call for Percy. His mother, Sally Jackson, was here to pick up her son. They got up, Luke dusting off the sand from Percy. "See you tomorrow?"

Percy nodded. "Tomorrow." He lifted himself on the tip of his toes and kissed Luke on the cheek. "Thank you for saving me this morning." He ran towards his mother before Luke could regain his bearings.

Luke could only watch Percy run off to his mom. His hand slowly touched his cheek where Percy kissed it. He didn't understand why he felt this warm.

"Luke?" he heard behind him. Turning around, he saw his mom. She had an amused smile on her face.

"Mom!" he ran towards her, glad to see her come early.

She hugged him. "Who's your new cute friend?" She had to with hold her chuckle at the blush her son was sporting.

"That's Percy, my new friend. He was being bullied and I saved him."

"That's great sweetheart. Will he be coming tomorrow at the park?"

"Yep. We are going to have so much fun." He went home practically skipping.

That night, to little boys went to sleep dreaming of each other. They couldn't wait to see each other once again. They fell asleep with a smile on their lips. Aurora's arrival couldn't come soon enough.

— This is a non-profit line. —

Summer passed. The two boys met each day at the Park to play together. Some nights, Percy went to sleep at Luke's house. Smelly Gabe refused the access to "another brat" as he would put it. Even with the age difference, both boys felt like best friends. They told each other all their secrets, play with each other, … Luke would even help Percy with his reading, writing and taught him what he knew. They both knew that they had ADHD and dyslexia, or something like that. This wasn't a problem since Luke went through the same problems that the younger boy will be going though. So, in order to help the brunet, they spent two hours every day reading together. Percy was getting addicted to greek mythologies and Mrs Castellan's chocolate-chip-cookies.

It was the day before last of the summer vacation. They met at the park where it all began. The weather wasn't to hot, but not autumn cool either. They were playing hide-and-seek with some other kids they met. Luke and Percy decided to hide together. They found some bushes that had an opening that they could crawl in through. The bushes were hollow in the middle, just enough space for to little boys playing together.

They were holding there giggles by covering each others mouths with there hands and making the "shushing" symbols between both of them. There eyes sparkled with mischief of the perfect hiding place.

Suddenly, they heard a groan. The blond and the brunett froze, wondering if the other heard. The groan was heard once more, followed by a moan. They saw a little "window" where the sounds were coming from. Looking though the hole, they saw a couple kissing. The man was leaning back to a tree while the women was semi-naked. She was bouncing up and down on the man's lap. Percy and Luke couldn't understand why. The women was making these little groans and moans, like she was in pain. The man was just grunting, his hands were on the women's hips, helping her go up and down. Their faces were mashed together, mouths moving like they were devouring each other.

Percy and Luke were fascinated. There eyes were riveted towards the spectacle, forbidden and unknown to them. The young boys had forgotten about their game, to fascinated by what they were seeing.

They saw the women arch her back while biting a hand to hold her cry, the man just grunted. They laid there painting, slumped and out of energy. After a while, they got up, arranged themselves to look presentable, and left, just like that, not knowing that they introduced two young boys to the world of adults.

Said boys were mauling the previous scene. The game of hide-and-seek was forgotten. Percy felt funny where his penis was. He felt hot but he was in the shade. "Luke?" was the timid little question he asked. "Why am I feeling funny?"

Luke looked worried. "Where do you feel funny?" Was the younger boy feeling sick?

The younger boy took the older one's hand and brought it to his cock. "Right here." he replied, making the hand do some rubbing motions on his sexe since it made him feel better.

Luke was uncomfortable. He knew that certain touching was improper, and the one Percy was doing belonged to that category. "We should stop Percy." he said with a stern voice.

"Why?" The rubbing stopped but the brunet was curious.

The blond tried to think of a good explanation. "It's not proper. And if an adult does it to you, inform your teacher, mother or even a policemen. It's just not done, ok?"

Percy was sad. The funny feeling went away when Luke was touching him like that. He wanted to get rid if it. But Luke didn't want to touch him. What should he do?

Seeing Percy's sad face, Luke, not knowing the reason, drew him into a hug. Wanting to have more of said hug made the young boy climb on the older one's lap.

The funny feeling was coming back again.

Percy squirmed, making him rock back and forth on top of Luke. Said boy was trying to stop rocking himself but it didn't help it.

They rocked together back and forth. Percy feeling hotter and hotter, and it was so good, wanted moremoremore, until … he cried out while peeing in his pants. Feeling Percy becoming hot, Luke came too in his pants.

Wordlessly, he took of their pants, internally thanking whatever deity that they were hidden by the bush. Seeing Percy so dirty, Luke, by sudden impulse, bent down to lick it all the white stuff.

The sea-god's son gave a little moan at the feeling, but he was to tired to react properly. "luke" he breathed.

Luke jumped. "Percy, I'm so sorry. Did I make you feel uncomfortable?" He was afraid that he would lose his friend's friendship.

"No Luke. It felt really good. Can I try do it on you?" he was curious and wanted to see the older boy's reaction to what he did to him.

"No Percy. And don't let anyone else do what I did. Understood?"

The younger one nodded, still feeling a bit lethargic. Then, his little mind he thought back at the scene he just saw. "What were they doing back there?"

"I think they were having sex."

"And what were they doing to each others faces? Were they eating each other?"

Luke was getting a bit red in the face. "They were kissing each other."

The five-year-old made a face. "But kissing isn't great."

"Not between adults. Want me to show you?" And he quickly gave a little peck on Percy's lip. The latter had a bewildered look.

"That didn't feel special." He was wondering why adults liked kissing, especially like that. "I still don't get it why adults like it."

"Me too. Do you want to try again? Experiment?" Luke picked Percy and made him sit on his lap. They brought there faces together and tried to kiss again.

It was icky, wet and weird. Once they separated, they both agreed that they would not tell there mothers. They went home at the end of the day not knowing that it would be there last encounter for a very long time. As they each went to their respective houses, the Fates smiled. Step 1 of there plan had been completed so that the Tapestry wouldn't unwind. Not, to make sure that the little Venus did not muck things up with her meddling in the Chosen One's love life.

An: So what do you guys think of it?
