JASPER! These to are really cute, and I wanted to write one for them. Thank you for the 200+ views, AWESOME! Love everyone reading, you have no idea how much it means for you to click on the title. YOU RULE! Okay, please read...
"I don't know Jace."
"It'll be awesome. Just you and me."
"I know it would be awesome, but we need to keep our grades up."
"Pipes, you have an A for every subject, and I'm just naturally talented at everything (Piper snorted loudly). Come on, live a little."
There was a silence as she considered the consequences. They had been squeezed up in a corner making out at their high school, when Jason suddenly pulled away and asked her to run away with him. Piper had freaked out (naturally; it sounded like a re-enactment of Romeo and Juliet), thinking he meant, well, forever, until Jason realised he had probably phrased that wrong and hurriedly explained what he meant. Piper was thinking hard. Well, if they were caught they would surely have a detention, (mind you, nothing she hadn't done before) which she could deal with. When she had finished her over-analysing of the situation, she had come to a decision.
"Okay, let's do it," she whispered, only a hint of reluctance left in her voice. "I'm feeling badass today." Jason just about collapsed with relief. He was up for the better part of the night preparing a picnic, and he spent two hours cutting the watermelon in to little hearts he knew Piper would probably punch him for treating her like a spoilt brat. But he loved spoiling her, so he did it anyway, ignoring the permanent bruise on his arm. Yeah, he thought dreamily, his girl was a fighter. He ran off quickly and grabbed the supplies he had hidden in the trunk of his car. Then Piper was literally dragged across the deserted oval, fire-man carried over the fence, and piggy-backed through the tall grass until they arrived at the fast flowing stream. They laughed, joked and talked the whole way there. Jason had insisted on carrying her, bridal style, along with the basket. He had draped the picnic blanket over Piper and had pretended he was walking to a funeral. Piper hadn't laughed so much in what felt like forever. They found a nice tree to settle down, spread the blanket, and dug into the food.
Jason pulled out the watermelon hearts, and at the sight of then, Piper's hands flew up to her face, which was the colour of the treats they were about to eat.
"We don't have to eat them," Jason said hurriedly, not wanting to ruin their perfect day. That was pretty stupid of him; he should have just cut them normally. Piper giggled.
"Are you kidding? I love them. I just…just sometimes feel like I'm a crap girlfriend. You do all this, just for me, and I'm just like; feed me. I act like I take you for granted. But you are the best boyfriend I could ever have. I'm a crap girlfriend, aren't I?" she said, her voice muffled.
Jason reached across and uncovered her face; looking at her with so much love it was surprising there weren't little hearts in his eyes.
"You, Piper McLean, are the best girlfriend I have ever had. And if you ever say that again, I will be forced to tickle you senseless. I love you Piper, and nothing will change that."
Piper was just about crying. Jason realised this, and not wanting to burst into tears with her, he put the watermelon back in the basket for later. He pulled out a pair of sandwiches.
"And for the lady, a special today, a banana and mayonnaise sandwich on the finest white bread in all the land," he mocked bowed. Piper snorted, but she was immensely pleased he had remembered. Her all-time favourite. She ploughed through her sandwich, Jason grinning the entire time. Piper had devoured it, finished before Jason had eaten his first quarter. She looked hopefully at the basket. Piper couldn't contain her hunger much longer; she had studied this morning and missed breakfast. She hooked her foot sneakily around the handle, and started pulling it towards her. Jason feigned ignorance, but he couldn't contain the smirk that emerged on his face when her face had lit up, while she was holding up the sandwich like it was the King of the Gods. Or Queen, as Piper would prefer, CALLING him of sexism. Bloody women, he thought. But he didn't have much more time to contemplate women and their ways, because next thing he knew he was knocked over by a body, and after a small struggle, he was defeated. But he didn't mind, he thought as he looked up into the eyes that changed colour like a kaleidoscope; going from brown to blue to green. Piper leant down and pecked him on the lips. He smiled wholeheartedly.
"You know, I really don't want to have to do this, but I'm afraid you leave me no choice," explained Piper, a mischievous look in her eyes. Jason's smile fell like a brick in water, understanding dawning on him.
"No, please. I beg of you," he stuttered, desperate for a way out.
"Oh, how I do like it when you beg, Jason Grace, but you must know, it has to be done. It is…inevitable." She leered. And Jason knew then, he was done for. Piper was so fast; he had no chance of fighting her off. Her hands were flying; tickling him ruthlessly on every part of him she knew was susceptible to the horrible action. Jason (through the pain, oh the pain!) managed to slip out from under her and switch their positions, so he was straddling Piper. She had started giggling uncontrollably a while ago, but she fell silent. They glared at each other for a while, Piper defiantly, Jason triumphantly.
"Time for some sweet, sweet revenge."
Then the screaming started. Piper couldn't cope, she was hopelessly outmatched. This went on for a while, Piper squirming trying to rid herself of the very heavy boyfriend on top of her, while Jason was enjoying this as much as possible. Suddenly, Jason grabbed her arms and pinned them to the ground again. He leant down, teasingly slow, and placed a loving kiss on Piper's mouth. He let go of her hands and placed them on either side of her head. Piper (hands now free) reached up ran her fingers through his golden hair, adoring the feel of it running through her fingers. Jason's hands found her face, and traced her cheekbones, eventually cupping her cheek. They broke apart, both panting, both grinning, and Jason rolled of her, grabbing her hand on the way down.
"I love you Jason."
"I love you Piper."
"I love you Food."
Jason shot her a warning look, which she returned with a playful smile. Then, Piper had a wonderful idea.
…
By the time they were stripping off into their swimmers (which Jason had conveniently thought of at four o'clock that morning) Piper was harbouring a vast feeling of happiness. They dove into the water, which was fairly deep, and enjoyed the feeling of the cool substance on their skin, which was a relief from the blistering sun. They simply swam around for a bit, Jason trying to surprise Piper by submerging then popping up right in front of her.
Then they decided to build a raft. It took the better part of an hour, but it was time well spent. With Piper's brains and Jason's strength, it actually turned out pretty good. They pushed it into the river and jumped on, nearly leaving Piper behind. They liked floating around, trying to push each other in. They were in a standoff, Piper on the very edge of the raft and Jason holding her hand, the only thing keeping her from falling into the water. Jason was threatening to let her go, when they gained speed suddenly, and Jason (not actually wanting Piper to fall in anymore) pulled her up quickly. He looked up, and his eyes widened. White water. That was not good.
"Piper, do you think we could turn this thing around?" he said sounding worried.
"No. Why? Afraid of living on the edge?" she mocked, thinking this would be really fun.
"Piper! This is dangerous. Okay, um…I could throw you near the shore, we aren't that far away, then you could swim. Then at least you would be safe," he said seriously.
"Always acting the hero," she sighed. He ogled her.
"I don't think you grasp the severity of the situation!"
"I don't think you realise how much fun this is going to be!"
Jason was really worried now. They were nearly at the beginning of the rapids, and he just wanted to get piper out of harm's way.
"Loosen up!" she yelled, nearly impossible to hear over the roaring of water, "YEAH!"
They hit the white water, and were thrust forwards, Piper nearly falling off, but Jason catching her at the last second. There was a post in the middle of their raft, and Jason shoved Piper towards it, and then wrapped his arms around both the pole and Piper, keeping both of them in place. Their little raft was like a pinball, bouncing off rocks and gaining speed with every minute.
"Piper, we need to jump!" Jason shrieked in her ear. Piper agreed; there was a chance this thing would end in a waterfall. They waited a while, and finally their chance arose as they saw a tree hanging over the water, not that far out from the shore. They glanced at each other, their brains fitting perfectly together with the same idea. Jason removed his arms, and they jumped at the exact same time. Piper managed to get a firm grip; while Jason was only barely holding on with one. Piper reached out and heaved him up, then started to monkey climb across, towards the shore. She landed with a thump, then Jason, with a thump of his own. They were standing entirely on rock, which had been warmed from a whole day of sunshine. They looked at each other, then both collapsed, exhausted. Piper just realised how freezing she was, they had been soaked by the spray. She was no shivering uncontrollably, the warm rock only helping partially.
"Piper, we need to get these clothes off," muttered Jason, sounding just as cold as she was.
"Whoa, slow down there. I don't think I'm ready for that," she joked, already stripping off her shirt, which was stuck to her body like glue. Jason laughed and did the same. Piper was only in her bra and underpants when she lay against the, practically drying as soon as it made contact with her skin. They lay there for a while, enjoying the sunshine and not realising they could have died. Jason rolled over a couple of times, encasing Piper in his arms. And they didn't move for what felt like a lifetime.
They didn't want to.
