Jason

Jason had no idea what to think. For the past few weeks, Piper had been absolutely hostile to Leo, but extremely friendly to Calypso- as if it were Calypso who'd died and not Leo. Leo sent Jason frequent iris-messages of his auto-repair shop, with Calypso's lemonade stand in the corner of the rented space, much to Piper's incessant eye-rolling whenever Jason told her he needed to go help with the electricity. Hazel, on the other hand, had gotten over her initial anger, rendering Jason very confused. (Piper refuses to forgive someone? What?) Coach Hedge spent all his time with Mellie because Grover, one of the Cloven Elders, had excused him from any demigod missions. Thalia and Hylla were so preoccupied with collecting Hunters and Amazons that they refused to go for anything unrelated to female company, which Jason, naturally, found absurd.

To make matters more infuriating, Annabeth was royally mad at Percy for a variety of reasons, one of which was him not telling her about Calypso, the other was the crazy insinuation that Percy was partially responsible for Bob and Damasen's death. On the other hand, she, like Piper and Hazel, was uncannily nice to Calypso. They hung out like they'd known each other since they were born, much to the boys' disbelief. Percy and Leo had been spending the majority of their afternoons with Jason and Frank instead of attempting to patch things up with Annabeth and Piper. At least Leo had Calypso for "healthy feminine influence", but all Percy had were… Jason and Frank, who weren't very feminine in the first place. Frank also happened to be turning into a bulldog very frequently these days, and when Jason actually found him hiding (under Thalia's pine) he would turn into a swarm of bees and harass Jason until he went away. Jason didn't think it was very "Frank-like" but he didn't comment. Reyna had gone back to Camp Jupiter, leaving Frank and Hazel in charge of corporate relations with Camp Half-blood and fund-raising for the camps, hopefully with the possibility that Hazel could make a special labyrinth route between the two camps.

The six of them, including Nico, were planning to rent an apartment suite either at the Empire State building or nearby so that Annabeth could renovate the whole of Mount Olympus again, Percy could visit his mother more often and Piper simply wanted to be away from being reminded that she was a demigod. The rest of them just agreed to stay with each other. However, ever since Leo made his graceful entrance back to Half-blood Hill, there was zero time for finding steady lifestyles for all of them. Jason had been extremely preoccupied with trying to soothe Zeus' and Hera's wrath (who had approached him not-so discreetly and pelted him with tons of complains) without compromising Leo's life. He had a list of all the gods and goddesses, which he had gotten from a reluctant Zeus, and he wasn't even down to even half the list of acknowledging and formally calling for a mass meeting of all the demigods so the gods and goddesses could be officially recognized. Unfortunately, this seemed to be the best way to keep all of the gods and goddesses at bay without them coming back to harass both camps for more "recognition". The gods and goddesses with their names later down on the list, thankfully, were fine with waiting for their turn to be "honored". He remembered Adicia, the goddess of injustice, screaming the word "INJUSTICE" over and over when Jason ordered the camp blacksmiths to make a statue of her. It wasn't his fault that the statue didn't look like her, but she had wrecked the all the altars in both camps, making all the gods extremely mad. Since they couldn't take their anger out on Adicia, who, after all, was an immortal goddess, they held Leila from the Fifth cohort hostage until the camps re-built all of the altars.

He couldn't sleep at night, with everything on his mind. Honestly, on the Argo II, he slept far better, even when he thought he was going to die fighting Gaia. It was probably because he was in his father's domain, but when he tried climbing up the tallest trees in the camp at night to fall asleep, it didn't work, and also ended up being called "Katniss" by Leo (who tried setting fire to the branches only to be electrocuted). Counting sheep was also useless, so he could do with simply thinking till his brain tired so much from it. It usually got him 1-2 hours of sleep in the morning. He lay on his bed with wide eyes. Better than nothing.

The next day, Jason woke up to rapid banging on his door. He stared at the huge hippie Zeus statue and groaned, puffing up his hair more even though it was already dishevelled. For some reason, he wanted to look more tired than he already was; he had enough of people looking for him just to ask for permission for sacrificial proceedings. He wanted to appoint a centurion as his assistant but after the Adicia incident, none of the centurions were willing to. After a melodramatic minute of him simply lying down on the bed and feeling pissed, he got up and opened the door- to see Nico Di Angelo and Will Solace grinning. Gods.

Wait… What? Nico grinning? And… What was Will doing outside his cabin?

He rubbed his eyes and saw flowers in Nico's hand.

What on earth was happening?

Jason rubbed his eyes again to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"What… is… what?" Jason managed a stammer before he continued dumbly gaping at Nico and Will.

"Me and Will are- no actually, Will and I- oh you know what, forget grammar! So he gave me this-" Nico gestured wildly at the flowers, "And I said yes, and now we are-" he gave Will a small peck on his chin, "together! And I decided you would be the first one I told, because, you know, Eros." Nico gushed. Jason immediately decided that Nico gushing and being excited was extremely weird and uncomfortable; normal emo Nico was more suited to Nico.

Jason shook his head and stared at Will, who was humming a song that sounded suspiciously like Justin Bieber. "So…" Jason started before his drowsy mind consumed by both sleep and confusion cleared and his drooping backbone and eyelid shot up. He blinked twice, as if coming out of a trance, switched his gaze from a still humming Will to Nico, and smiled. (Will was definitely humming Justin Bieber.)

"Seriously, Jason, you are so slow," Nico muttered, watching as the vines on the flower grow rapidly as if to choke him. He dropped the flowers on the floor with a huge thud, causing Will to wince.

"Nico…" Will started slowly, his fingers slowly inching towards the ground. Nico swatted his hand away. "Don't touch it," he seethed, "Persephone thinks I might kill the flowers. We should give them to the Demeter cabin." Will stared at the now still flowers, then at Jason. Under Jason's piercing blue reply of a stare, Will turned back to the younger boy and smiled. For some inexplicable reason, all the silent chemistry between Will and Nico made Jason think of Piper. Gods, he needed a serious chat with Aphrodite about Piper's priorities.

He looked back at Nico and it reminded him of everything he had gone through, and all of a sudden Jason felt this overwhelming protective urge over Nico to punch Will. Instead, he stuck his hands in his pockets and glared sullenly at Will. Sensing the sudden change in Jason's mood, Will glumly shuffled his feet and gestured for Nico to go back to his cabin.

When Nico was finally out of earshot, Will picked up the flowers. "I'm sure you'd like to have a nice little chat with me over tea," he mumbled, "Even I don't know as much about my boyfriend as you would. He's totally secretive."

Jason sighed, all the malice dissipating from him. He couldn't blame Will for not knowing anything about Nico. In fact, he thought Will was kind of a total idiot for falling for Nico, but as Eros had said, love was never fair. If he thought about it, Will was almost too right for Nico- maybe bring out Nico's less creepy side.

"I reckon he hasn't even told you about that time when he went into Tartarus, went through it and came out alive, him being from the 1930s because his memories were washed in the Lethe when his mother died, or having to sustain a whole week in a death trance on a pomegranate seed a day, or having to confess to Eros that he was in love with Percy, or hi-"

"What?" Will gasped, "Tartarus alone? That little shit didn't tell me anything!"

Jason fumbled for his words. "Um… He also got turned into a plant."

Will eyed Jason suspiciously.

"Twice," Jason added, "And don't look at me like that, I have a girlfriend, for heaven's sake."

"I just… It's too hard to digest, and I seem like a really rash person and now that I know that you know more than I do, it just makes it even worse… It's like, I thought he just came up with the stupid idea then that he wasn't going to return to either camp because he's an emo Hades person but I didn't even know… Gods, how did he live with all this?" Will buried his face in his flowers, his blond hair the only thing above all the roses. Jason tried not to remind himself of how much his blond hair looked like his own.

"Yeah, well… If you ever hurt him, remember that I have an Imperial Gold javelin," Jason replied. Man, this world was coming to an end. All the melodrama occurring after the battle. Holy Zeus.

"So… So that means you approve?" Will gave an extremely Cheshire-like grin.

"You can here to ask for my approval after Nico accepted your flowers? You need to work on your timing!"

"Ah, well, Nico is a priority. Soooo? Please?" Will's very huge grin morphed into something like between Percy's baby seal face.

"Fine, I appro-"

"YAAAYYYY! OH MY GODS JASON GRACE IS THE BEST!" Will squealed, did an extremely weird little pat on Jason's head, before sauntering off to Cabin 13.

"This is going to be one hell of a tiring day," Jason mumbled and went back to his own cabin at a last attempt to catch back his sleep. Unlikely, though.
