Well this came out of nowhere. Seriously. I was just reading Oedipus and I guess all the references to Apollo brought this about as well as some greek myths that tie into him. And I am borrowing Rick Riordan's world of Percy Jackson and the Olympians to set this piece of fiction together.
**Now a little greek mythology lesson. Before people start having heartattacks about Apollo being gay(actually it would be Bi) in this fanfic. Apollo was known for falling for and seducing many women. But he was also known for falling in love with men as well. Beautiful men. And so I guess this mindset set the bunny to start bouncing around in my head. And if you check my profile I am a Slash/Yaoi writer. I think this is the first time that I'll have a prominent Het pairing in my fics, PercyxAnnabeth, but it'll be very small since it'll be mostly about Apollo's love for this boy. Look up Apollo next chapter though I'll write down the story greek myth since it'll have a direct impact on this fic.
Disclaimer: Last time I checked the books had Rick Riordan's name on them not mine.
Hope you all enjoy! :)

Apollo, God of destruction and healing, of prophecy, of poetry, of music and the light and sun, grinned as he pulled in right beside the Big House at Camp Half-Blood in his stylish new model Mustang. His grin even wider as he spotted all the campers coming towards him.
Some of the boys all marveled at the sleek vehicle he had driven out of the sky. The mustang glowed red with heat but it slowly cooled to present sleek red car underneath.
"Hey!" He called and took a good look around. He spotted his children well enough. The were at the very front smiling away at him. "Hey dad" some called. He smiled at them. Ever since Percy Jackson had made all the gods and goddesses swear on the River Styx to claim their children he had made regular trips to camp and to meet his kids personally.
"Apollo what brings you here?" Percy asked walking up to the God. "Hey Percy! You know the usual" The God nodded And they stared at the demi-god in front of him. "How old are you again Percy?" The demi-god shook his head. "Seriously Apollo, you know how old I am. You know all, remember? But I'm twenty-one" he answered with a grin. Apollo laughed "Just checking."
With a wave of the Senior Camp member the other campers dispersed back to their activities.
"Came to visit your kids?" Percy asked leaning against the car. Using a light water shield to prevent himself from burning. "Yeah I see a couple of new faces." "Yeah they got here a while ago, they seem happy you claimed them the very day they walked through the property line." "Yeah it's kind of hard to ignore the calling. Ever since we all took the oath we feel it tugging at us when our kids cross the line of camp. And even before we can spot them before they get to camp if we're not busy." Apollo nodded as he looked at the demi-god beside him.
A smirk flew across the God's features "How is your romance going? Athena was raging the other day. And Aphrodite was beside herself with happiness." Percy smiled a light blush coloring his cheeks "It's good I'm pretty sure you know. I proposed to her and she was so happy…the happiest I'd seen her in the longest time." "That's good. I don't think I've ever seen Athena so mad before though. It was worse than when you took Annabeth's virginity" he snickered. "Oh did I ever tell you? Aphrodite was beyond happiness when that happened. She was so happy that she gave all of us guys the honor to bed her." Apollo's face was in absolute delirium with joy as he admitted that. Percy just laughed remembering the beauty of Aphrodite when he had met her the first time. And he could understand all the other Gods' fascination with her.
"Dude Ares was…indescribable though. I think she must have given him something special" Apollo continued curiosity coloring his face.
Looking at his face Percy noticed that he had adopted the look he did when he was at council. Not the teenager that he first revealed when he first met him but that of a much older man. He looked to be in his mid thirties. "Yeah I don't want to look the same age as my kids. So, I adopted this look for now. But we can always hang out in my other form. And don't worry I'll give you your bachelor party. Bet you've never been to an Olympian Bachelor party before" the God laughed.
Percy just shook his head and then waved at Chiron who was clopping towards them with a pleasant smile.
"Why Apollo how nice to see you again" the old centaur nodded. "No problem Chiron. Just visiting the kids" he said nodding at the half horse and half man. "I trust you approve what is happening here." Chiron moved as he pointed all the teenagers training. "Chiron you know all of us approve of what you are doing. We all see that this place is for the best for all the God and Goddesses' half-blood children."
"Now can you give me information on some of my sons and daughters?" Apollo asked although he personally knew what each of children go through being half-bloods he also had quite a lot to do and he couldn't always check on the progress of his children.
"Why certainly could come let's have a drink in the House. And then you can speak to your children." Chiron said "Percy? Please go watch the other please?"
"No problem Chiron" Percy nodded and made his way to his cabin. Where as his father had said his half brothers and sisters waited.

Apollo stood to the side after speaking to some of his children. He now watched as they offered half their meal to the God and Goddesses' as sacrifice, he inhaled relishing the scent of fresh chocolate éclairs and hyacinth.
Glancing at the sky, he saw it would be time to leave. Smiling he turned to leave when someone caught his attention. He looked closely at the boy. No, he was older, almost Percy's age…he looked exactly like…no it couldn't be. How could he not have foreseen his coming? How was it possible?
Glancing again at the sky again he saw his sister and knew he needed to go. The sun would set soon.
Well what do you think? Good? I hope so since I like it. :D
Now reviews would be nice. Contructive critism is also accepted.
