chapter 2. piper
"I think your coffee is stirred enough"
Jason was picking at his drink. Which was very unusal. In the year and and half she had known him, he had never been one to play with his food. And honestly if she heard the sound of the spoon clanking on the edge of the cup again, it wouldn't end well.
He put down his spoon, and looked at her. She stared at the electric blue eyes. And he stares back. But she could tell his mind was preoccupied
"jase?" she asks tentatively "is everything all right?"
"I want to ask her to marry me" he tells
Honestly Thalia isn't surprised. She didn't know piper very well personally. But every time Jason started talking about her his eyes lit up. Whenever she was around he was hardly interested in anything else. She was quite literality his sun, moon and stars. "
Now that she thinks about it. She hadn't really known piper that well. Sure Jason had talked about her a lot. But hearing someone talk about someone wasn't really the same as knowing them.
One year after Gaea's defeat. Percy and Annabeth had decided to have some sort of reunion. Originally it was supposed to be just for the remaining Argo ii crew. But then Nico and Reyna had invited themselves along. Then Chiron had found out. And on the morning of the "reunion" Jason had called Thalia and told her to "get her sorry ass over to camp half-blood. So that's what she had done.
"thalia," yells Jason waving her over. He had been talking to a few roman demigods. Recognizable by their purple shirts. Which stood out in the sea of orange camp half-blood shirts. Next to him stood a slim Native American girl in an orange shirt. As she came closer she realized that they were holding hands.
"Piper, Thalia. Thalia piper." Jason gestures to each on in turn. Still holding piper's hand
Piper smiles at her. And Thalia in turn had given her a nod
So maybe that hadn't been the best repose. She probably could have smiled back or something like that.
Later that day, she noticed piper returning from the restrooms. Shaking her hands dry. Thalia figured that the restrooms had run out of paper towels again. The daughter of Zeus started towards her.
"Piper, I need to talk to you" she calls.
The daughter of Aphrodite slows down and Thalia catches she stares piper down with her electric blue eyes, and notes that piper looks slightly nervous
"ok I'll get straight to the point" Thalia starts "if you ever hurt Jason I swea-"
"-you'll personally cut me into pieces and feed me piece by piece to your hunting dogs" finished piper. Meeting Thalia's blue eyes with her kaleidoscopic ones.
"More or less" agrees Thalia.
"Understood." Answers piper, breaking into an easy smile. One that lights up all her features. And thalia realizes that piper may not be that bad.
That was 6 years ago.
She never got to see the ring Jason had given piper. And now she never would.
