In this Jason and Reyna are 15. Third person point of view but mostly Jason. I don't own these characters, Rick Riordan does.

'Come on Rey!' Jason was trying to convince his co-praetor into flying with him, trying and failing.

'No!'

'Give me one good reason why we shouldn't go flying!'

'I have work to do,' Reyna mumbled, she was hoping he hadn't heard that.

'Rey, you're overworking yourself, we both know that you need to take a break and you know you love flying, especially in the evening!' Jason was really worried about her.

'That is true,' Reyna thought for a while, Jason was too convincing, 'Fine, but if I fall…' She didn't need to finish the sentence for him to get it.

'I would never drop you, and if that ever happened, I would catch you,' Jason promised.

'Thanks Jason,' Reyna said gratefully, she didn't like the idea of being a splat of grease on the ground if she fell.

Jason lifted her up and jumped, not landing. Reyna was surprised every single time, how could he carry her and control the winds at the same time? Perhaps they were connected and controlling the winds helped soften the weight? Or the legion training would've helped, either way she was impressed. No she was not like those Venus girls who would themselves at his feet, but maybe she did love him, and maybe she was about to tell him just that.

'Jason, you're my best friend, right?' Even if I wish it were more, she thought, little did she know he was thinking the same thing.

'Yes, of course,' he said, not really paying attention as he was distracted by a loose curl of her hair and he was playing with it.

'And I can tell you anything?' He turned to face her, she seemed nervous.

'Of course, as long as you're not going to talk smack about Gwen, Bobby or Dakota,' said Jason, he was protective about his friends, not like Reyna wasn't his friend, on the contrary she was probably his favorite person on the planet but don't let anyone hear him say that.

'Why would I? They're my friends too, I love them! Gwen is my best female friend!' Reyna looked offended at the proposal that she would badmouth her closest friends.

'Just kidding, I know you would never do that! So what is it that you wanted to tell me?' He was hoping it wasn't something like: 'I've randomly decided to hate you, bye,' even if that did seem far-fetched.

'Umm, well, there's a guy I like,' Jason felt like he lost a piece of himself, even though he knew it was inevitable, everyone likes someone, he knew that the small part of him thinking that she'll like him back was finally crushed, but hey, who was he to get in the way of her happiness? Also, why would someone like her ever love him?

'Ok, well, tell me about him,' then he'd be able to help her based on who it was, he just hoped it wasn't Octavian, that would really be horrible.

'Well, he is very kind, he cares for his friends a lot, he is quite dashing,' Reyna blushed as she said this, 'he is humble, a great sword fighter and he could probably get any girl in the world so I have a very slim chance of ever being with him,' Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous of this guy, whoever he was.

'Reyna, you are one of the most amazing people I know, it's more likely that people will be chasing you and you'll hate them!' Jason really did want this to go well for her, even if he was in love with her, her happiness should come first.

'Thanks, what should I do?' Jason had no idea about this at all, how did people get together in general?

'Um, maybe talk to him, tell him you love him and hope for the best?' Jason was just guessing, how was he supposed to know? He wasn't a Venus kid, it's not like he was against Venus kids, Gwen was a legacy of Venus through her mother.

'We both know how bad I am with words, I'll probably stutter and be thought of as an idiot, and I don't want legionnaires to be talking about one of their Praetors not even being able to control their voice!' Reyna had anguish in her voice. Jason could see that she was really distressed, this was not all how she would normally act at all.

'Ok then, kiss him?'

'Yeah, that'll totally work, I can't just walk up to him and give him a kiss! That's even worse than telling him I love him!' Jason was now getting worried that he wouldn't be able to help Reyna at all and that this problem was going to be here for a while.

'Well you'll never know unless you try, you've got it! Do it when no-one else is there!'

'Fine,' said Reyna, bracing herself for rejection.

Jason was happy he had convinced her but a small selfish part of him wished she hadn't agreed to do it. The next thing she did surprised him greatly, she leaned in closer to him and pressed her lips to his, they rose up by about 2 meters in the air and there was a spark.

'Sorry,' Jason had become a bit causing the spark and sudden lift, seems like the guy she was talking about the whole time was him.

'Oh, that's ok,' Reyna said softly.

'So you really mean all those things you said about me?' said Jason seriously, Reyna nodded, then a smile broke out on his face.

'"He is quite dashing" thank you, I'll never let you forget you said that!' Jason had blackmail material.

'Whatever you do, do not tell Gwen I said that!' Reyna was back to her regular self.

'Wait until she finds out we're dating, which will probably be tomorrow,' the look of pure horror that Reyna had on her face was too for Jason and he burst out laughing.

She groaned, 'Now she won't let us ever doubt her,' Reyna hid her face in her hands.

'Rey, you look incredibly tired so I'm going to fly us back to the Praetor houses,' Jason knew that she did want to stay outside in the air but the legion wasn't going to run itself, he wouldn't be able to handle it all himself and Reyna really needed her sleep, she might seem fine but she would be having a terrible headache.

'Fine.'

I hope you liked that! Please review!
