Wrath of Nyx: ...could we maybe get some Jealous!Jason...

This was fuuun

Jealousy

Pairing: Jason and Reyna

Set six months after It's Called College

To one side of the room, there was a long bar counter, with around twenty or so stools. To the other side, there were a collection of booths, all packed with people. At the back of the bar, there was a pool table, band posters, a jukebox, a fairy lights. It could be considered a cute, romantic little section of the bar, if the lights were on, the music was playing something sweet, and you were playing pool together.

Percy and Annabeth would know.

But right now, it was Reyna over there, with some guy. Not just any guy, Adam. One of Jason's work buddies. Or at least, he was, until he almost killed a guy, got fired, and now worked as the bartender. He was kind of hot, to be honest. High cheek bones, ash blonde hair, a tight black shirt that showed the exact shape of his muscles. Even Jason kind of wanted to date the guy.

"Jason," Annabeth warned. "You look tense." She knew why, and she told him she knew why. With her eyes. Percy read the expression and turned to Jason, raising an eyebrow.

There was a pause. "Well you can hardly blame me!" He exclaimed, before they even voice their concerns. "Look at them!" Annabeth and Percy turned to the back of the bar, as Reyna leaned on her pool stick, laughing a little with Adam.

"You know she's only hustling him to get the next round," Percy reminded him. Jason watched as Reyna pretended to miss another shot. They had a pool table in a café in New Rome. Jason first taught Reyna to play when she was twelve. Then she got really good at it, better than him, and nobody's been able to beat her since.

"Still," Jason grumbled. "When Adam still worked with me, he was one of those douchebags who kept talking about my hot girlfriend. I let him, because I didn't think they'd actually ever meet. And then…"

"He became the bartender at our regular?" Annabeth finished. Before either of the boys could answer, she exclaimed: "FREE BOOTH!"

Instantly, the three of them grabbed there drinks and ran over to where Annabeth was pointing. But Percy tripped over Jason, and Annabeth bumped into them, and the booth got taken by some stupid couple.

"Damn it!" Percy exclaimed, as they sat back down in the bar. They'd been sat at the bar for almost an hour, jumping at the opportunity for a booth, but they never got one. "Next time, let's take it slow."

"We took it slow last time, and that elderly Bingo Team got our booth," Jason reminded him. "Still in a bar at eighty. I hope that's us one day."

"I think we need to vary our speeds," Annabeth suggested. "Percy, you leg it. I'll take your drink and go at medium speed. Jason, you take it slow."

"Why do I have to take it slow?" Jason asked.

"Because that's how Reyna likes it," Percy answered. "OH!" He high-fived Annabeth, who smirked proudly as Percy laughed. "Nah, it's because you're super clumsy."

"I'm not that clumsy," Jason replied. Annabeth just nodded. "What were we talking about?" He asked after a minute.

"Your insane jealousy over Reyna," Percy reminded. "Since, you know. You two are in love, and in a long-term, exclusive relationship." He paused. "Which, you know, took you three years. Not including childhood years."

"It's not so insane," Jason replied. "Look at them." Once again, they all turned back to Reyna and Adam, as they placed their bets. Reyna with a flirty smile of confidence on her face.

"Reyna loves you," Annabeth reminded him. "Trust me, she talks my ear off about you." Jason just nodded sadly.

"And your muscles are way bigger than his, Bro," Percy added, knowing just what to say.

"Really?" Jason smiled.

"For sure," Percy nodded.

"Thanks, Bro," Jason said.

"Seriously?" Annabeth exclaimed. "The fact the Reyna loves you has no effect. The fact that you have big biceps makes you happy?"

Jason blinked. "Both things make me happy," he replied. "But Reyna tells me she loves me every day, and Percy doesn't compliment my muscles too often, so…"

"Yeah, and telling Jason I like his muscles, is how I tell him I love him," Percy added. "And you know. Bros over hoes." Annabeth just raised an eyebrow. "Except from you, BAE." Percy blew her a kiss, but without the hand gesture. Then he smiled and tried to look innocent.

"Okay, but what – FREE BOOTH!" Jason exclaimed.

Percy jumped to his feet and practically skidded across the floor, following Jason's line of sight and jumping onto the table of the booth, sliding across and crashing into the wall. Annabeth grabbed hers and Percy's drinks and speed-walked over there, excitedly. Jason picked up his drink and walked.

They sat down, Jason across from Percy and Annabeth, finally relieved to be able to lean back.

Jason sighed, happily. "Okay, but how long does it take for her to hustle somebody?"

Almost exactly when he said that, Reyna bounced to their bar and slid in next to him. "He tried to say I cheated," she reported. "But the next round is on the house!" She laughed as she high-fived Percy and Annabeth, and Adam looked disgruntled from the bar. "But yay! You guys got a booth!"

"It was tricky," Percy nodded. "Jason took it slow."

Reyna blinked. "What?"

"Never mind," Jason said, rolling his eyes.

Annabeth grinned. "Jason was jealous," she mused.

Reyna almost laughed as she turned to her boyfriend. "Wait, what? Why?"

Jason paused, glaring at Annabeth before shrugging. "Because you were playing pool with him," he said, awkwardly. "Pool is the cliché romantic game. And it was our thing."

Reyna laughed. "Aw," she cooed. "It's still our thing. And it doesn't matter how many games I play with anyone else. I love you. And you're still my main pool buddy." Jason smiled as Reyna kissed his cheek. "Ooh, Nickelback," she admired, as 'Photograph' started playing. He could already guess that she was the one who requested it on the Jukebox.

"Who's up for another game?" Annabeth asked, looking around the table. "Boys vs Girls?"

"We just got this booth," Percy exclaimed. "I'm not getting up!"

"After the next round?" Reyna suggested. "Someone help me get the drinks?" Percy stood up with her as Adam gestured them over for their victory drinks.

Jason just turned to Annabeth when they were gone. "For the record, whenever Reyna tells me she loves me, I feel all tingly inside," he mused.

Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "Good to know," she replied, rolling her eyes.

AN: I'm thinking... maybe a movie night, next?
