Piper P.O.V.

Oh. My. Gods. Kissing Jason is SO much better than mist-kissing Jason. He holds my hand until we sit down, and his grip is soft, yet firm. He lets go and turns toward me. "So..." He prompts me. I sigh. "Does this mean we go back to a similar version of what happened in the mist?" I ask, trying not to sound too hopeful. He thinks for a moment, then says, "Did you like me in the mist?" I nod, trying to say, Duh! Then he carefully asks the question that seems to be pressing his mind. "Were you my girlfriend in the mist?" I nod, also careful. "Then yes. But this time, I'm 100% real." He says.

I smirk. "Are you sure? So, if I reached out my hand, it wouldn't pass right through you?" I tease, pushing him playfully with the tips of my fingers. Jason shakes his head. "Nope. I'll prove it too." My heart races as he leans in to kiss me, but as his lips crash onto mine, I close my eyes, the world melts away, and not a single thought crosses my mind. He opens his mouth and deepens the kiss. I wrap my arms tightly around his neck as his hands slide into my hair. Our lips move together in synchronization, conveying words that haven't been spoken.

I breathe through my nose, not wanting to break the kiss. I assume Jason does the same because we stay like that for about two and a half minutes until Leo says, "Hey, lovebirds! Chiron's trying to talk!" We abruptly break away to see many smirking faces with eyebrows raised. Travis breaks up the same situation between Connor and Megan a few seats down, and Connor glares daggers at his brother. I laugh and turn my attention to Chiron. "I would like to say good game to all of you, and congratulations to Jason's team." Chiron's voice booms over the crowd. Our team cheers and boasts in response.

"Uh, not to put our team down or anything, but how exactly did we win? I mean, you guys were charging at the flag when Jason and I got... umm... distracted." I ask, feeling my cheeks warm at my own words. Annabeth smiles at me. Leo winks in Jason's direction and gives him a double thumbs up and an eyebrow wiggle. I hear people snicker and Drew glares at me. I stick my tongue out at her, and Jason laughs.

Chris calls out, "Well, most of our offensive squad got taken down by this line of complicated traps in front of the Sound." I shot an impressed look at Leo, the Stolls, and Megan. "And so, we were charging the flag when Jason kissed you. And, well, we've all sort of been waiting for you two to get together ever since you got back from your quest. And you were standing right in front of the flag. Even Clarisse thought we should leave you guys alone. But I think that's cause she had money on it. " Clarisse glares at him, and I smile, stifling laughter. "Well, most of us did!" He says defensively.

I motion for him to go on. "Then Drew heard Connor, like, six minutes later, and we had to restrain her. Then all of you came out of the forest after five more minutes with your flag and the one you had already gotten from our team. So basically, you already had our flag, which we actually didn't know, and we figured the loss of one game wasn't worth interrupting." I nod, very grateful that they didn't barge in. I look at Jason next to me, and he smiles down at me and grasps my hand, intertwining our fingers. I smile back and rest my head on his shoulder.


I lie in my bed, a grin plastered on my face. I close my eyes ,but all I see are Jason's blue ones. I hear a knock, and I look to the door of my bedroom. "Come in, " I call, but the door doesn't open. Instead, another knock raps. I pull back the covers, walk to the door, and swing it open to find nothing. I hear yet another knock across the room. I look over and see Jason standing outside my window. I look at him in disbelief, walk over, and slide the glass pane up so that he can stick his head in. "What are you doing here?" I whisper, though I can't help but smile.

He flashes a grin. It's kind of mischievous, and unlike the Jason I have come to know, yet I can tell that this is a Jason that I have yet to meet, a Jason that has lived and been restrained, and is just now being set free. "I couldn't sleep. And then an idea came to me. Come on." He gestures for me to follow him. I roll my eyes, but I can't stop the grin that is spreading across my face. I clamber out the window and follow Jason as he grabs my hand and drags me along behind him.

He stops at a blanket that has been laid out next to the dock. I can hear the soft murmur of the waves lapping at the beach and the melody of chirping crickets. It's peaceful. He sits down and looks at me expectantly. I lie down next to him and he does the same. "So, what's this idea of yours?" I ask. Jason points to the sky and motions to the blanket. "This." He says, as if it should be obvious. I look at him, expressionless.

"See," he continues, "I figured that it wasn't fair to you or me to have never been there on that first date under the stars before. Cause you were never really there, and I never had the chance to be. So, a recreation that will be 100 times better. This." I exhale and resist the urge to go, Awwww! For a few minutes, he shows me all the constellations he knows, and tells me the Greek/Roman myths behind them, and I tell him their Cherokee legends.

Jason leans over and presses his lips to mine, kissing me softly, then lies back down. "So," I say, unsure of what to do next. "We won capture the flag." "Yeah. I think we did." He says, staring at me while I look up at the stars.
