"I swear to the gods, if I have to run a mile one more time-"

"Percy, calm down!" Jeremy and Matt we're holding the teen, who was practically foaming at the mouth, back from attacking their coach, "It's just running!"

"I do enough running!" Percy turned big pleading eyes to the coach and let his lip tremble, "Please let us go inside... I'm tired..."

Jeremy and Matt blinked in surprise when their coach couldn't resist the puppy eyes and announced that they were heading back to the classroom and, yes, Steven, that meant you did not have to do anymore burpees right now.

"How-" Matt looked at the class and then at Percy, who was happily following them while whistling, "What-"

Jeremy pat his back, "It's okay, man. You just have to learn not to question it. It happens more than you think."

"Come on, boys," Percy grinned wickedly, his green eyes gleaming in the sun. "Maybe I can get coach to let us out early."

The Gilbert gulped at the look on his face, "Just... Don't kill him, okay?" He could swear he saw the teen pout before nodding solemnly, like not killing their coach was something he was willing to sacrifice.

"Alright," Percy sighed. He muttered 'kill joy' under his breath before heading into the classroom, shouldering Stefan out of the way with a laugh.

"Are you going to let him treat you like that?" Matt asked the youngest Salvatore after the black-haired teen was out of sight.

He gave a weary nod, "Yeah..."

The Donovan blinked, "But... Why?"

"I can't do anything," Stefan waved his hand in the air as he spoke. "'Cause my brother would kill me."

"Nice jacket," Caroline said appreciatively as Percy sat with her, Bonnie, and Elena on the grass.

He raised an eyebrow and tugged at the bottom of the leather jacket, "Thanks."

"Is that..." Elena looked at him in shock, "Is that Damon's jacket?"

"Mmhm," The green-eyed teen nodded, bringing his cup of coffee to his lips. "I stole it."

"You-" Bonnie shook her head, "Right. Okay."

"You should join a sports team," Caroline said to Percy out of nowhere after studying him for a few minutes.

He gave a sharp bark of laughter and shook his head, gesturing to the blonde with his fork, "Absolutely not. I have zero athletic bones in my body. I'm built for sleeping and consuming dangerous amounts of caffeine."

"That I believe," Elena mumbled, looking at the two empty paper coffee cups next to him.

"Really?" Caroline gave a small pout, "There's not just football, you know."

He raised an eyebrow at her and ate a bite of his cafeteria chicken, making a face at the taste, "Like what?"

She tapped her chin in thought, "Mm, golf?" She shook her head, "No, that's not you. Basketball? Maybe... Swimming? No-"

"Swimming?" Percy raised his head so fast, his chicken nearly went up into the air, "We have a swim team?"

Bonnie nodded, finally speaking up, "Yeah but it's not much. I mean, you can join but we haven't won any of our competition."

"I wanna join," He nodded rapidly, choking down the cafeteria chicken, and stood up fast. "I'm going to go join now! Who do I talk to?"

"Um," Bonnie looked at him in surprise. "Coach, I think. I hope you make the team."

"Give me ten minutes," He smiled mischievously. "And I'll be on the team." He took off, grabbing a coffee cup from Jeremy, shouting his thanks. After about a day watching the teen practically inhale coffee, the youngest Gilbert seemed to appoint himself as Percy's unpaid caffeine grabber.

"Um," Jeremy looked at the girls with a questioning look. "What is he doing?"

They looked at each other before answering, "Joining the swim team. Apparently."

--

"Boom!" Percy grinned at girls as he walked back after seven minutes of being away, two coffee cups clutched in his hands. He alternated between drinking from them, crushing them after they were empty, "Guess who's part of the swim team?"

"They let you join?" Bonnie looked at him surprise, "How'd you get in so soon? I mean, don't you have to try out or something?"

"Probably," He pointed at her. "But I can be very persuasive. Anyways, I start swim practice tomorrow if any of you guys want to come, I don't really care."

"We'll be there," Caroline said fast before her best friends could speak. "You can count on that."

He smiled slowly and winked, "Perfect."

"What's got you so happy?" Damon asked as Percy climbed in the car.

"I, my favorite serial killer, am a proud member of Mystic Falls shitty swim team," He practically cackled, rubbing his hands together like a super villain. "I'm going to fuck shit up."

"I have no doubt," He nodded, pulling out of the school parking lot. "We're heading to my place. I got more whiskey today and we're going to get fucked up."

"Yes!" Percy punched the air, "Celebratory drinking!" He looked at the vampire, "Can I mess with Stefan?"

Damon snorted, "When do you not?"

"True, true," Percy tightened the jacket around him, a smug smile on his face. "He just makes it so easy. It's not even a challenge." He straightened up, badly imitating Stefan's voice, "'You shouldn't do that Percy.' 'Damon will kill you, Percy.' 'Stop drinking coffee, Percy, you're stomach lining can't take it.'"

The vampire busted out laughing, pulling up at his place, "My brother doesn't sound like that."

"No," Percy wagged a finger at him. "He totally does. C'mon, I have bad decisions I need to make and cake I need to steal."

"How'd you know I have cake?" Damon wondered, following after the teen as he walked to the front door.

"Pssh, I know everything, Day. Now, if you don't hurry up, the Brazilian Whiskey is mine." Percy laughed as the vampire chased him into the boarding house, rounding the corner and going up the stairs.

He didn't make it half way before he was caught.

"Alright," The green-eyed teen said breathlessly, putting a bracing hand on Damon's chest, grinning up at him. "You win."

Blue eyes bore into green before the vampire spoke, "I know."
