AN: UH. UH CHARACTER DEATH. AND UH, DEPRESSION, IMPLIED SUICIDE. YEAH. I wrote this in what, five minutes? Man, people you can't blame me if this comes out bad, but, waking up and having a desire to write angsty stuff is just a feeling one cannot ignore. NOW, Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: IF PJO WERE MINE, PERCICO WOULD PREVAIL!
Jason isn't a type of guy who usually beats around the bush. No, he's actually really straightforward, and a praetor to top that.
But, love is a fragile thing, or rather, that's what Jason likes to think, when dealing with a son of Hades and a son of Poseidon. So, you can't really blame him for opting to stay in the shadows.

Nico didn't leave the land of the living after the Giant War. And that in itself was a sign to Jason that maybe, just maybe, this kid would be alright.
But, Percy, well he was skirting into the domain of the dead on a regular basis. It probably didn't help with Annabeth dead.
Some would say that that time would probably be the best time for Percy to be swept off of his feet, but it's pretty obvious to Nico, that after her death, there wasn't a chance at all.
And both of them are drowning in oblivion, day by day, little by little. And only when they are nearly done for, do they realise just what's happening.
They realise just how lost they are, just how dead they are. And that's that.
They step back from the steering wheel, and let Death overcome them.
Because just maybe things are going a little insane, and just maybe, it'll get better if I just let go.
Because after all, everyone just dies in the end.
