A/N: So, this is my first Percy Jackson fic and my first (and probably last) attempt at a freeverse. You can probably guess what it's about, but I'll say it anyways; basically Jason can't decide between Piper or Reyna, so he compares them and comes to a dangerous conclusion. Please review with tips and/or constructive criticism which help me grow as an author!

Probably doesn't needed to be rated T, but I wanted to be careful...

playing with fire

Jason can't choose

P~I~P~E~R

or

R&E&Y&N&A
{g r e e k} or {r o m a n}

LOVE 3 or w_a_r

now or then


He can't choose

b/e/c/a/u/s/e

P~I~P~E~R

Piper says she loves him

and she says she wants him, needs him

to S*T*A*Y

[she r e a l l y is good at talking]

B^U^T

then again

?Does she really know him?

'Cause pipermclean's memories are

fake fake fake


He can't choose

b/e/c/a/u/s/e

R&E&Y&N&A

is so STRONG yet so silent

{Unlike Octavian, who just needs to shutup already}

and all she has to do is look at him with those

DARKDARKDARK

eyes

[so different from piper's ever-changing one's. cause these only convey one emotion: PAIN]

and he'll

S*T*A*Y

a-n-d

she puts the camp before jason

(which is EXACTLY what he would done if reyna were in his situation)

B^U^T

she replaced you with your "replacement"

[a dirty, stinking Graecus]

W!H!O!O!P!S!

Greek

(And the roman in him wants his power back)


w*i*n f/o/r P~I~P~E~R


The Roman in him wants to be seated next to Reyna

in the p-r-i-n-c-i-p-i-a

on their *shining* goldengoldengolden t_h_r_o_n_e

with aurum and argentum

(gold and silver; guess which one is his?)

and they'll save the world

a-g-a-i-n

with their faithful {can someone say aphroditetraitor? what a slut}

Roman legionnaires


T~h~e~n

there's the greek in him

and all it wants to do is S*T*A*Y

with P~I~P~E~R

and all of his new "friends"

a+n+d

they can save the world t-o-g-e-t-h-e-r

and maybe part of the appeal

is that he gets to

d

u

m

p

all his responsibility(all of his power)

on someoneelse for once

{because while he /craves/ the power, P#E#R#C#Y sure as hell handles it better}

*a man who turns down power that's not very roman of you...*


w*i*n f/o/r P~I~P~E~R


b`e`a`u`t`y

is such a petty thing

but prettypretty P~I~P~E~R

wears it like a ~CROWN~

and she can fight pretty damn well too compared to some aphrodite girls

{*cough*drew*cough*}


funny isn't it that all the /real\ girls fight with daggers

annabeth piper reyna


w;a;r

was half of jason's fricken life

fightfightfight

harderharderharder

and reyna pushed him through it

she represents the seriousness that made up all of his last summer at the roman camp

{campjupiter}

not to mention she's not half bad looking either


And while R&E&Y&N&A embraces her skills and power like a real roman

(i mean, who ever heard of rising from probie to centurion to praetor

in ;:2:; weeks

oh, that's right percyfreakingjackson did it)

B/U/T

P~I~P~E~R

is tootootoo scared of herself, of the "power" she wields

{hahaha what're you gonna do talk yourself to death}


w*i*n f/o/r R&E&Y&N&A


and so now he has to choose between his

P*A*S*T

{all those deaths, all those kisses are behind you now}

andhis

P^R^E^S^E^N^T

{yeah, but what about all the things she thought you had,

what if you don't want those, what if you never did?}

between the girlheknew

[reyna]

and the girlwho'knows'him

[piper]


w*i*n f/o/r R&E&Y&N&A


So now he's back to the beginning

it's just reynaandpiper


P~I~P~E~R

who's so soft and kind

and gentle with him

and who can forget prettyprettypretty

{jasonsurecan't}

*its okay jason it's fine if you don't want to talk about it now just remember i'll always be here for you*


R&E&Y&N&A

who's fierce and bites back

who's all firefirefire

who he shares so much history with

{and real history, too}

who can keep him in line

*dammit grace you can't keep running off like that this is w/a/r*


choose

choose

choose


B/U/T

he can't

not yet, anyways


so until he can

J^A^S^O^N G*R*A*C*E

is just going to have to play it out like his 'sidekick'

{Leo'Flaming'Valdez}

And for just a little while

he's going to be

p/l/a/y/i/n/g

w*i*t*h

\;:fire:;/

and

w a i t

until it starts to

b-b-burn

b

u

r

n

A/N: So, what did y'all think? It was a little long, but I hope it was good! Please drop a review, and tell me if you support Jasper or Jeyna. Hope I didn't make Jason into too much of an ass...it's called artistic license. :)
