❝ happy birthday, devy ! ❞ percy grinned ear to ear. ❝ i always forget you’re older. you’re old now, dude. ❞ 

“I am an adult!” Devyn’s smile was so wide, her face nearly hurt. “Eh - kind of? But anyway! It’s my birthday!” Not like she let anyone forget it for the entire week.

he woke up at seven, naturally, just his circadian rhythm being like that. since then, he’s showered, gotten dressed, played a cardi b song on the piano ( twice ), and tried to go on a jog before getting bored. so, will should be lucky he didn’t get woken an hour ago. ❝ i want breakfast, and your happy sleeping face was offending me. ❞ percy pouts at him. it’s barely nine, and he never wakes up this early, especially now that he’s in college, and not living with his parents, who think getting up at the ass-crack of dawn is something normal people do.

a small whine escaped from the brunette’s lips as the sunlight hit his face, a reluctant groan following close behind as he forced himself into a sitting position. william wilson was not a morning person, anyone he knew him knew that, percy especially. yet, there they were- william blinking as he tried to adjust to the sudden light, percy’s tall figure barely blocking the harsh rays pouring in from the open window. “any particular reason you decided to wake me up?” he questioned, lifting his head just enough to make eye contact with his spouse. @jeezperseus

“Pretty rich people do not need to be humble. I hear it causes wrinkles.” Sylvia joked. Praise had never been hard for her to come by and it all went to her head pretty quickly. “You do not need to. It’s impossible for people not to recognize my beauty.”

❝ i mean, i’m pretty humble. does that mean i’m ugly or that they’re on their way ? ❞ he doesn’t think he’s ugly. either way, will totally married down. percy’s pretty grateful. ❝ then why do you feel the need to make it a conversation topic ? ❞

“haven’t you realized i’m a tough love kinda gal?” she was a little too pleased, considering it was just her kidding around, “if i don’t insult you ever once in a while, you’ll never strive to achieve. or… something like that.” 

❝ my 20/20 vision doesn’t really register the spikes and ‘ keep out ‘ signs. ❞ a roll of his dark brown eyes, though it’s more playful than anything. ❝ okay, that was way too mom-ish for my liking. you’re, like, a year older than me. ❞

“Teenage rebellion might be the least worrying thing anyone in this family has ever committed.” Devyn nudged him with her shoulder. “No dishonesty here, I’m lucky to have you. My life would be so boring without you, let’s be real. Why have a normal New Years when you can have your sibling get drunk married instead?”

❝ i don’t know, dev, do you remember my ‘ breakfast food only diet ‘ phase ? that was pretty cringe-y. ❞ though, on a list of his worst phases, it barely broke top ten. ❝ that’s all i’m for ? laughs ? and don’t even joke about that. everytime i think about the fact that i have to tell dads, i swear to god i start sweating. ❞

“I feel like there would be benefits AND drawbacks from being young forever. No wrinkles is a positive.” Lian says with a smile although thinking more about it. She doesn’t want to get old, and seeing her parents grow older doesn’t make her feel any better. “We do the best with what we got. My mom is really intense so our parents would probably get along.”

❝ and the negative is, like, seeing all your family and loved ones die and being able to do nothing about it ? dark. ❞ those billion and one pop songs had it wrong. it was nothing to strive for and percy is only nineteen but feels like he’s eighty.  ❝ maybe, yeah. people either really hate or love, like, either of my parents and very rarely ever both. ❞

[jeezperseus]

“The standards aren’t like, super high.” Regardless of her joking, she was appreciative of his words. It validated her goodness of being more than a weakness. “Rather lucky to have you as a brother.”

he grinned. ❝ that’s a good point. i mean... manipulation... genocide... teenage rebellion. ❞ percy and devyn grew up beside each other. even then, he knew she was the good one, and he loved her for it. ❝ i appreciate the dishonesty. ❞

“The very idea is scandalous, really. I regret even saying it, you are the least heterosexual person I have ever met.”

❝ shame on you. besides, like, who are you to measure heterosexuality ? it’s like a basketball referee deciding a court case. it makes no sense. ❞

[jeezperseus]

I am brave. Rollercoasters? Love ‘em. Scary movies? I’ve seen Ghostbusters like seven times. I regularly drive through neighborhoods that have only recently been gentrified. So yeah, I’m pretty much not afraid of anything.

“I’m down! I hope that it’s more fun that THIS.” Blayze admits as he gestures to the gathering around them. Although having friends around is always good.

❝ what’ve you got against fancy parties ? ❞ he’s been attending them since... forever. came with his last name(s).

[jeezperseus]

“Yeah! It can be like a welcoming of the season. It could be outside or at least part of it. Should we get a pool? I feel like there should be one — would that be too much?” Lian asks as she was already making a list in her head of what to do.

❝ my birthday is in june, too, which is pretty cool ! well, there’s a pool at my house, but my dad can, and will, like, read my mind... so that’s probably off the table. we can definitely buy one though. ❞ he hasn’t thrown a party in forever ! like, last year. wild.

Thalia snorted. “I don’t know about loud, but you definitely are annoying,” she teased. He really was, with his fake bad-boy attitude and pretentious name and dumbass face. If he were anyone else she would’ve left him in the dust by now. She was drunk, that was it. She was drunk and that was why she was letting him tag along and run distraction while she got into trouble. “Great. I’ll get whatever’s strongest.” She paused, calling up her mantra in her mind. “Okay. I’m ready.”

❝ if you’re not so sure i can definitely change your mind. ❞ coming onto the word definitely, he yelled it, gaining attention from people around them. the need to prove himself to her fueled him, leaving percy hanging on her every word. he was just trying to keep up. she was quicker than him. more street-smart. ❝ sounds terrible, let’s do it. ❞ percy paused a moment, squeezing his palms and calming his jitery mind for a second before releasing a breath of air. ❝ let’s do it, thalia. ❞

closed starter / @danielthorson !

❝ happy birthday, danny boy ! ❞ percy grinned at his roommate, holding out a perfectly wrapped box ( he got it done at the mall... ) with a bow on top. ❝ congrats on beating teenage pregnancy ! ❞

[jeezperseus]

❝ because, like, you’re the best... pseudo-nephew, like, ever ? ❞ it was really weird to think about. did it really count ? he doesn’t know. they’re existential questions. for matters of, like, bribery, he’s definitely saying pseudo-nephew. ❝ coffee sounds good. i’m always down for an iced mocha, dude. ❞

There’s a yawn leaving the witch lips — much too obvious in him having just woken up recently. He rubs his eyes for a moment, but tries to pull himself together. “UH, you want to tell me again why I agreed to do this?” He says as he steps closer to the other person. “Do you think we can go get some coffee first?”

[jeezperseus]

“We’ll be attending all the best parties for eternity!” Blayze admits dramatically, but he was already thinking of what kind of show he could do. He was good with magic, but he also didn’t have the show training like his mother or his twin.

❝ yes, of course ! and throwing them, too ! ❞ it’s going to be him and blayze for... forever. and any kids he has. ( which... he probably won’t. unless science gets really wild within the next few decades. ) ❝ i mean, we’re still practically kids. i’m still a teen. we have everything ahead of us. ❞

[jeezperseus]

“Wouldn’t it be great to be young forever?” Although Lian has seen a lot more of the world than kids her age usually did growing up. She took on the Speedy mantle awfully young, but she thinks that even if you’re getting older you can still hold those childlike qualities. “We unfortunately get the bad traits from our parents sometimes.”

❝ i don’t really have to worry about that. i age funny. maybe i will be young forever. ❞ god, he hopes not. that sounds really gross. picking up his future kids from high school & being asked what he’s doing out of class ? not his cup of tea. ❝ for sure. i was fucked, like, either way. degenerate bio ‘rents, super intense adoptive ‘rents. ❞
