PROPER HUGS MIGHT EARN YOU FORGIVENESS!
Oliver shook his head a little but there was a fond smile on his lips to show that he didn't mean it in a bad way. It was still difficult for him to gauge Percy's reactions recently, since every time Percy was acting different Oli had to wonder if it was just a mood or maybe because Percy was two years ahead of him and had changed ever so slightly from the Percy Oli knew in 2003. Or, and that seemed the most likely option, because of his feelings for Oliver. The whole situation probably led to a lot of misunderstandings, but Oli wasn't willing to give up on 16 years of friendship.
"That was better," Oli said when they parted again. "Are we okay?" Oliver asked. It felt strange, needing that kind of reassurance to know they they were, in fact, still friends.
