Hey, this is a collection of one-shots and drabbleish stuff because songfics take too long to write. I know I've promised a Jayna story every week, but the songfics are taking forever; Leave Out All the Rest is already about 4000 words long, and I'm only on the second verse! And Drops of Jupiter needs a few more parts before it's done (most likely by next week), so I decided to make this collection for quick Jayna. Each one-shot/drabble is based on a quote that I found and like. Here's the first one; see how you like it.
As for my Mark of Athena, I haven't given up on it; I just need a little more time writing it. It'll be updated soon. Or whenever the chapter is done.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: If I owned HOO or PJO, then I would be making actual money, not writing fanfics based on it.

"Gods, Jason, it's not going to come out!" Reyna says, grimacing at the crow's nest that is her hair. The once long, straight and smooth braid of ebony hair is now tangled with the colourful autumn leaves from laying on the ground. Jason's horrifying attempt of a wreath lays destroyed on the top of her head, a crown of her messiness. "
Jason looks at her thoughtfully as he strokes his invisible beard. "Hmm. I don't know. You look much better this way," he teases, a grin spreading across his handsome face.
The daughter of Bellona huffs as she shoves him not-so-softly, his body hitting full force onto the hard ground. Jason groans, massaging his bruised shoulder and Reyna pats the top of his head like he's a lost puppy. "There. Now we're even."
Jason sticks his tongue out before pushing her into the pile of neatly raked leaves. Reyna is smarter this time, and at the last second pulls him by the hand and Jason falls after her. During the fall, Reyna rotates herself so she falls on top of him.
"Ughhhh," the son of Jupiter moans, trying to push Reyna off, but she refuses to move. Instead, the female praetor digs a knee into his stomach as she smirks victoriously. "Get off of me," Jason demands, poking her.
"Nope." She pops the 'p' as she looks down at him. "Not until you attend to my hair, sir."
The blonde fakes a gasp. "Oh, I am terribly sorry, milady. I did not mean to forget your amazing clump of hair. Say, how did you get it so splendid and colourful?"
Reyna snorts. "Just shut up and fix it," she repeats, dropping the role play.
"Yes, milady," Jason replies, lifting his hands up to untangle the mess. Quickly, he plucks the leaves and twigs out of her ebony hair, using his fingers to gently comb through the tangles. While he's sorting out the mess, Reyna spends her time making a (better) wreath from the autumn leaves.
"Anndd...done," the blonde says, straightening out the last knot. Jason takes his homemade crown and fixes it, putting it on Reyna's head. He glances at the new crown in her hands. "Mine is better," he brags as he points to the fixed wreath, earning a roll of the eyes from her as the dark-haired girl shifts around so her head's resting on his outstretched arm.
"In your dreams. Here," she places it on his blonde hair, "that's yours."
He grins happily, adjusting the wreath. "King and Queen of the Autumn Leaves!" Jason exclaims, grabbing some of the leaves around them and throwing them in the air. They fall around the two praetors like flowers. "Hey, that kind of rhymed!"
"Why don't you become a poet?" Reyna suggests sarcastically.
Unfortunately, Jason didn't hear the sarcasm in her voice (or maybe he just chose to ignore it) and takes her advice. "I should," he muses, thinking it over. "Hmmm..." After a moment, he snaps his fingers and smiles widely.
"King and Queen of the Autumn Leaves!
Everyone's scared so everyone flees!
In their castle, only loyal people stay to defend
Such as Hazel, Bobby, Dakota, and Gwen!
The King and Queen are better than crows
Why everyone's scared, no one knows
The King is blonde and loves his camp
The Queen is only half as scary as a vamp!
So stick around next time you're here
Autumn leaves are never to fear!"
The excited blonde is grinning happily at the girl beside him. "Sooooo...what do you think?"
The look of horror on Reyna's face is priceless. "It...I..." To sum it up, she's speechless.
Jason pouts, his eyes directly looking at Reyna. "What, is it that bad? I wrote it for you." When no other reaction appears on her face, he shifts so his face is only a few inches from her face. "Reyna, you there?" There is still no response, so the blonde decides to try another method. Smirking, he slowly leans forward until his lips softly brush hers.
It's as if Reyna is frozen as her eyes flutter open and shut. Jason takes this as a good sign that she won't kill in, and leans in completely, kissing her. The son of Jupiter is the happiest guy in the world when she finally makes a move and...kisses him back.
When Reyna's logic comes flying back, she quickly pulls herself out of the trance and her cheeks are red. "That wasn't supposed to happen," she states lamely, sitting upright.
Jason chuckles and sits up as well, brushing the leaves off of the two of them. "So, how was it?"
The war daughter stands up, smoothing out her violet t-shirt. "The kiss? Average." Jason's mouth drops, but she continues. "And as for the poem? Octavian could do better." And with that, Reyna smiles evilly and walks off.
"What...I'm going to let my wonderful, heartfelt poem insult fly, but I'm the only guy you've ever kissed!" Jason shouts at her retreating figure. "So technically, I'm the best kiss you've ever had!"
"Shut it, Grace! By that logic, you're also the worst kiss I've ever had! So, good night!"
"G'night, Rey! You know I'm the best!"
"Shut up!"
Hehe...don't know how to end that. Hope that wasn't too weird for Reyna-she's a different person around Jason, I imagine.
Everyone's been talking about how Jasper is canon, and stuff, but I don't care. Even if that's what Rick picks, then that's what it is, but I am not stopping my Jayna. I will flood the Jayna section so it's alive. Long live Jayna! I do hope for some Jayna moments in MOA, though...
Sorry 'bout that. Please read and review, because I will be very happy. :D
