What Happens Under the Mistletoe…
Chapter 1: Sparks Fly
Jason strode confidently through the thick snow. Camp Half-Blood can decide its weather thanks to enchantments but Chiron had thought it fit to get wintery weather in time for Christmas. Jason was going to the sword pit, to clear his head. He was filled with weird thoughts about Reyna and Piper. Reyna, he knew now that he loved her, once. If Jason hadn't been kidnapped by Hera and sent here, they would probably still be dating. But he had been sent here, and he had met Piper.
Piper was something else; that he knew. All of the girls on camp were pretty, as constantly fighting monsters keeps you in good shape, but none of them could hold a torch to Piper. The way her chocolate brown hair was uneven, apparently cut with a pair of safety scissors, the way her eyes changed colour faster than a racing car got his heart beating faster. But there was one problem with the girl he loves. She likes someone else.
Will Solace was good-looking, there was no doubt about that, and funny, and smart, and kind, and brave, and strong. He got all the girls swooning when he walked by, a talent which he got from his father, Apollo. Including Piper. Jason felt like the Hulk whenever he saw her giggling around him, or blushing when he flirted with her, or obviously daydreaming about him during Ancient Greek lectures, like a giant green monster of rage.
He reached the sword pit, and unsheathed his Imperial Gold gladius. He hacks and slashes at the wooden dummy, chopping up his anger with brutal attacks. He doesn't notice Piper watching him.
"Hey Jason." She greets him warmly. It startles him so much that he visibly tenses, and drops his sword. It hits the ground with a loud clang. She giggles at his clumsiness, making him blush.
"Uh, Piper, hi, what are you doing here?" He stutters, turning her smirk into a grin.
"You know, for an apparently cool as ice Roman hero, you really don't know how to take it easy." She jokes. He smiles awkwardly, his heart pounding faster than a Pegasus's hooves at full speed.
"And you clearly don't know about mistletoe." She adds. Jason frowns, wasn't mistletoe to do with something important, like… Before he can remember, Piper kisses him. He doesn't expect it, and stumbles backwards, before regaining his balance and wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her against him as she clings onto his neck. A loud bang splits the kiss, and they realise that sparks are crackling around them, and that they are several feet in the air. "Well, I think you know about mistletoe now, Sparky." She says breathlessly before kissing him again.
Then Jason finally regains the power of thought, and realises that people have to kiss when under mistletoe. But now they were above the mistletoe, hung above the wooden dummy. This kiss is for real, Jason realises, screw Will and Reyna, she likes me. This kiss is only broken when Thalia walks in.
"JASON GRACE! WHAT IN HADES DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!? I AM GOING TO KILL YOU – wait, you're flying, how are you flying?"
Jason just grins at Piper and kisses her a third time.
