School was awkward to say the least. Piper and Jason were still acting like they were dating, and everyone believed them. Why wouldn't they? It felt forced and well, awkward. Fake kisses, fake longing looks even down to the nose boops. It just magnified the aching feeling in Jason's stomach that they were broken up. And it was only to get worse. The sappiness was going to stop the next day when they announce to everyone that they were breaking up. And then there was also the fact of Nico. Throughout the course of the fake-dating, Jason and Nico had gotten a bit more cuddly. Not just in the physical way, but in conversations. Snarky comments had melted away into sweet and caring complements. Like the way that Jason loved the crinkles around Nico's eyes when he smiled. Jason marinated those thoughts in his head whilst scrolling through his dashboard on tumblr. Nothing seemed particularly amusing, so he shut the laptop. His bedside clock read two AM. Jason panicked as he quickly shut off his lamp and attempted to sleep. In only five hours he would have to get up. He pulled the plush pillow over his head and groaned, cursing to himself and swearing that the next night he would go to sleep earlier.
Jason practically punched the alarm clock when it blared to wake him for the upcoming day. He groaned before slowly edging himself out from under the quilt. He shivered at the brisk air on his bare chest. Goosebumps formed on his legs and with one big swoop he lunged out of bed. He frowned as he scrolled through his closet. He finally settled on a blue camp shirt and his favourite pair of jeans. It was either the way the denim hugged his ass just right or the way they were just so comfortable, that made them his favourite. He sighed, walking down the stairs and then ate his breakfast of toast with strawberry jam. Once his hair was styled to perfection and his teeth were brushed, Jason was ready for the day.
As always, Jason's dad drove him to school while on the way to work. As the car whipped by block upon block, a thought of Nico popped into Jason's head. A thought of Nico laughing. Jason smiled at the thought and then looked over to his dad. He was concentrating on the road. Jason loved his dad more than anything, and hated keeping secrets from him. He had previously decided not to reveal that he was bisexual previously, due to the fact that he wasn't so sure about it. Nico had proven him wrong. Jason just wanted to kiss him forever. His heart beat faster at the thought. 'I have to tell him,' Thought Jason, his palms sweating. Thoughts of rejection flooded through his head. What if his dad disowned him? He doubted that would happen, seeing as though his father wasn't homophobic. Even so, it was simply scary. He could feel his rapid heartbeat in his ears and a voice inside his head repeating the words, 'tell him,' over and over again. Jason took a deep breath; It was now or never.
"Dad, I have to tell you something," Stammered Jason, breathing deeply. Jason's dad looked to his son momentarily, only to lock his eyes back on the road.
"What is it?" Jason's dad sounded unamused, clearly distraught by all the traffic. Jason took another deep breath.
"Dad, I- I'm bisexual," Stuttered Jason. Jason's dad twitched his mouth. He wasn't listening.
"Damn driver, MOVE!" Yelled his dad, while honking the horn.
"Dad!" Shouted Jason, regaining his dad's attention.
"Did you say something son?"
"I said that I was bisexual."
"You're bisexual? Damn it. I owe your mother ten bucks now," Murmured his dad.
"Wait, you were betting on my sexuali- okay never mind, not important at the moment. So you're okay with it?" Asked Jason nervously.
"Of course, doesn't change the fact that you're still my son and I love you with everything that I've got." With that the two shared a loving hug, only to be honked. "DAMN IT I'M HAVING A MOMENT WITH MY SON YOU BASTARD!" Yelled his dad before revving the engine and going about fifty miles above the speed limit. Jason laughed as he felt his stomach drop at the sudden acceleration.
"You're pretty cool dad, you know that right?"
"Well who can be cooler than your old man? Now let's get you to school."
