Piper sat back dreamily, wind combing through her still-choppy brown hair while the grass whipped at her legs. Her eyes embraced the incredible sunset over the Little Tiber, the sky dragging in the velvet night sky with the stars and silver, while Piper closed her eyes again. When they finally opened, the elegant splashes of pink, yellow, orange and purple were gone; replaced by a stretch of dark blue canvas peppered with gleaming lights and shot with a gigantic white full moon.

"Pipes!" She whipped around, a smile already growing on her face as she recoganised the voice. Jason was running towards her, purple toga still donned as he stumbled, attempting to hurry in his gold sandals. His own golden hair was as long as Percy's, the moon illuminating his frosty blue eyes and lip scar. It was hard to believe it had been seven years since they'd bested Gaea.

"How's my Pontifex Maximus doing today?" Piper's grin only grew wider as Jason's face contorted into a grimace.

"No matter how long it's been since people called me that, I still can't get used to it. Sounds like a brand for underwear." Jason's truthful remark made Piper laugh, occupying her as she waited for him to sit down. He didn't, only remained standing, eyes fixed onto the horizon while he played with his unruly hair, as if something troubled him.

"Hey, Pipes?"

"Hmmm?"

"There's a better view of this."

"Huh?!" Piper gasped, jolting upwards as she was pulled up hastily by Jason's strong grip. They ran through the camp, skidding into a stop in front of Jupiter's temple. She was pulled up various passageways, urged up ladders and narrow, twisting staircases until she arrived at a trapdoor. Looking down, she cocked her head sideways in question, Jason's glittering blue eyes through his messy hair gleaming playfully.

"Open it." With a heave, she pushed it open to have her face flooded by silver pools of moonlight.

"What the..." The large expanse of Camp Jupiter spread out like jam on toast before her, the view from the elevated cliff enhanced a thousand times. Piper barely registered it as Jason climbed up behind and stood beside her.

"It's the roof of the temple. Just like our first real night out." She was speechless, her eyes devouring the view, oblivious to the gaze Jason had fixed upon her.

"It's... amazing. Even better than the first night. Higher up." Her excited eyes danced over to her long-term boyfriend's, hands clasped together as her knees threatened to give way.

"Hey... Pipes? I've known you for a long time, and you've been the best frie... no... more than that... I could have ever asked for. I battled numerous hardships throughout my life, and it seems like only battles where you have been my lighthouse has counted. The rest... sunk into the oblivion of my mind. The only reason I haven't died yet, haven't given up or broken down from the stress... is you. You've been my beacon for so many years, and I want to return the favour, but you're too good at everything for me to interfere and save you. I want to have an opportunity where I'm the one that gets to properly save you. Just me. And for that opportunity to come..." Jason reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box wound with a single thin gold ribbon.

"... I can't miss it, even if it shows itself for a split second. I want to be by your side, Pipes. I want to be the one this time who gives you the happiness, who gives you the second chance at life. I want to stand next to you... forever." And there, right there, on the top of the highest point of Camp Jupiter,

Jason knelt, box opened, a glittering silver-gold ring set with a opal framed with diamonds facing Piper, who's hand was now clamped over her mouth, eyes larger than the ring, shining with tears.

"It may be the gem for tears, but they represent your eyes, Pipes. You barely cry when you're sad, but you cry when you're happy. More tears are shed when one is happy, when their heart is full. I want this ring to mark the start of our happiness. Pipes..." His expression turned grave, hopeful.

"... Will you marry me?"

"YOU PERFECT IDIOT! WHAT DO YOU THINK? OF COURSE I WILL! YOU DESERVE A YEAR IN THE UNDERWORLD FOR EVEN CONSIDERING MY REJECTION! STUPID!" Piper's tears flowed freely, her face stretched to the limit with her laugh, her arms thrown around Jason's neck.

Her heart was full when the ring was slid into her finger.

More tears.

More laughter.

More kisses.

More happiness.

Forever.

Piper Mclean and Jason Grace, finally and officially together.

And the day ended with a new beginning.

I just knew Jason with propose in such a sweet way, so this came to mind.

They're the classic couple, so a classic proposal with a explosion of feels was necessary. Being the softhearted freak I am, I cried while writing this, mainly because Jasper is such a underappreciated OTP.

So love me/hate me/favorite me/follow me/PM me/review this/and LOVE LIKE JASPER
