On with the story!
Stars
Jason finds Reyna laying on top of the roof of her house, looking at the stars.
"Hey," he grins, settling down beside her on the blanket she had spread out. "How's it going?"
Reyna rolls her eyes and gives him a look. "Well, besides the fact that Octavian is doing absolutely everything in his power to get at least one of us to step down from our position, everything is just dandy," she mutters sarcastically.
"Yeah, yeah," says Jason. He has heard the Octavian rant a few too many times. Not that he didn't agree with her on this particular subject, or any other subject for that matter, it's just...well, let's just say he didn't like that he could quote it word for word now. Not wanting her to start (because then she would never stop), he changes the subject. "You like looking at the stars?" he asks.
Reyna offers him a smile. "Yeah. It's weird to me, to think that we could be so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. There's a whole entire universe out there to explore." She sighs suddenly, "Do you miss it?"
"Miss what," Jason frowns, completely caught off guard.
Reyna turns to face him. "Camp Half-Blood."
"Of course I miss it," Jason says quietly. "I made some really good friends there, and they make you feel so…welcome, you know? It's just a different kind of atmosphere. More open...and accepting, too. But this place? This is home. I'm a Roman, Reyna, and I belong here. And I'm never going to leave you again." Reyna smiles when he says he is a Roman, and her grin practically splits her face in two when he promises not to leave her again. Jason smiles back, and asks a question of his own. "Why did you ask?"
Reyna bites her lip and hesitates for a moment. "…Octavian."
"Say no more," complained Jason. Desperate to avoid the conversation, he asks, "Which one is your favorite?"
"Huh?
"Your favorite constellation," Jason clarifies. "Which constellation is your favorite?"
"Oh…" Reyna thinks for a moment before remembering one of Percy's stories he had told her right after his memories were brought back. "The Huntress," she smiles.
Jason frowns, puzzled. "I don't think I've ever heard of that one…"
"You probably haven't," Reyna agrees. As she points out the constellation, one of a girl with a bow and arrow running across the sky, she explains, "Lady Diana only made it a couple of years ago. Percy told me her story."
Jason leans towards her, electric blue eyes twinkling. "Tell me the story," he begs. Reyna sighs, but sits up and launches into the story of Zoë Nightshade.
Jason gets really into the story. When he hears about Percy and Annabeth holding up the sky, his eyes get wide, and he laughs when he hears about how they trick Atlas back under his impossible burden.
When she gets to Zoë's death, he screams, "NOOOOOO!" at the top of his lungs. Reyna stifles her giggles and clamps her hand over his mouth.
"Shut up," she whispers. "You'll wake the whole camp! Anyways, Artemis couldn't save her, and she took her spirit and turned it into the stars. Her soul now resides in Elysium," she finishes.
Jason's jaw hangs open, and Reyna laughs again. "Percy is so friggin' cool," Jason whines. "Why can't I be that cool?"
"Because we can't let your ego grow too big," she mocks him, grinning. "So which one is your favorite?"
"Well…" Jason contemplates. "It used to be Hercules, but after what you told me he did to Zoë…well, not anymore. I think the Huntress is my new favorite too." He smiles at her, and she smiles right back.
It had gotten late while Reyna had recounted the story, and was now well past midnight. They stay up talking for a little while longer, before accidentally falling asleep in each other's arms on the roof.
The next morning, they wake up to hear Gwen and Dakota and a couple other centurions laughing their heads off and telling them that the Senate meeting starts in ten minutes.
"Glad you finally saw the light, Grace!" Gwen adds as they walk off.
Jason is still flushing red when he enters the senate meeting seven minutes later.
A/N: Aaaand...SCENE! Haha thanks to everyone who reviewed last time! I really hope you liked it, it was basically just fluff. Please REVIEW! Blue e-cookies if you do!
