Honestly I think Nico should have died at the end of BoO—hear me out ok just hear me out—and been a martyr figure for a while about a year and then somehow come back just before Tower of Nero and he’s there with Apollo the whole book hanging out with the trogs and kicking Nero’s ass.

It’s just that literally everything in BoO is foreshadowing Nico’s death. Hades’s whole speech about how “some deaths can not / should not be prevented”.

Nico having that dream about Ella reciting that line from the sybline books “the fall of the sun / the final verse”. Because that’s the next prophecy Nico will be apart of and also when Nico makes the big announcement that’s he’s alive again / came back from the dead / is immortal now.

It’s just that there is so much more foreshadowing into Nicos death and martyrdom beyond these points it’s insane. If BoO was fresher in my mind I would be going on about it for eternity.

I mean I kinda understand why Rick wanted to keep him alive because he didn’t want to buy into the whole “bury your gays” trope. But he could have done something like he did with Leo’s last chapter to show that even tho he’s dead Nicos not gone and that he’s still going to be part of the series whilst being a martyr and he may be back in the future.

Maybe Hades makes him immortal. I think that would fit best because of the parallels between Apollo just loosing his immortality and going through hell trying to get it back and then here’s Nico flaunting his fresh shiny new immortality with no idea what he’s doing with it.

Or Maybe Nico come back earlier than ToN because Jason did the Orpheus/Eurydice deal. And maybe when Jason dies Nico does the Orpheus/Eurydice deal so they’re both back from the dead there kicking Neros ass. That would be fun to see.

Side notes: it would be heart breaking if Nico gave Hazel the skull ring right before he leaves with the statue. And she doesn’t want to take it but she does.

And double heart breaking if she refuses to take the ring because she believes Nico will survive this and the ring is going to stay with him.

Triple heart breaking if Hazel doesn’t take the ring or if he can’t get to her in time he asks Reyna or Percy or Jason or Frank to give her the ring for him right before he dies.

I think Percy would be the most heart breaking and the most fitting for this because of Bianca trying to give Nico the Hades figurine. Nico trying to give Hazel the ring that was a gift from their father. History repeating itself. Percy is shattered once again.

Jasico Bingo Challenge: CHB Jason

Nico isn’t sure what’s worse: the fact that his childhood best friend seemingly disappeared into thin air a week ago, or the fact that the hottest guy he’s ever seen in his life has mysteriously appeared within Camp Jupiter’s walls.

“Of course it was the first cohort,” he overhears after a Senate meeting, whispered in the halls. “He must be crazy powerful, if Lupa didn’t even need to train him!”

“Shut up, that’s just a rumor. Everyone has to meet Lupa.”

“They definitely met,” the first voice insists. Nico leans further into his shadows. The pair pass in front of him. “But she just let him go.”

Hot guy is, of course, the gossip of the week. The month, even.

Nico privately decides that hot guy is worse, only because it seems like his presence alone has turned the Legion into morons who’ve forgotten their freakishly powerful, supposed-to-be-Praetor has literally evaporated. Poof! No more son of Neptune!

Nico would think the people who just a few years ago made a massive deal out of every move said son of Neptune made would pay a little more attention to the fact that the whole freaking man is gone!

But no. There’s new gossip to be had, about a blonde with drool-worthy eyes and a scar on his lip and a suspiciously-missing backstory.

Spend enough time in the Underworld, and you learn to suspect the whole amnesia act. Shades always know more than they pretend to.

As the senate hall empties, Nico sinks fully back into the shadows.

He will not let this stand.

There’re 3 most popular Nico ships and I find it really interesting how I can go to each for different vibes/ experiences. It’s truly fascinating. I’m serious.

The first one I can see pure fluff and sweet lovey-doveys that lights up my soul. The second one I usually go for the bittersweet taste and that lingering gentle sadness. The third one I store my unhealthy urges to see they lost in pains and broken by their own mistakes.

Of course, all of them have diverse themes and it’s not hard to find one with the other vibes. The writers are wild and incredible, I’d give them that. What I’m trying to say here is just to share my personal thoughts and experiences on different ships - how they have made an impression in me and how my mind has come to portray them based on it. 👀

Anw, all are amazing. Kudos to everyone out there contributing their love to the fandom

#fanfic talk again bc what’s new anw?#nico ship #nico di angelo #pjo #riordanverse #guess the ships. i won't be specifying.#actually yes i am. just for those who has tags blocked anw #solangelo #jasico #percico #yone rambling #yes i read everything that has nico. i could careless about anything else.

I’ve been seeing this thing around about rating pjo ships so i thought I’d give it a go 🤠 no personal offense if i don’t give your ship a high rating, i’m pretty particular except for when I’m not

Percabeth - 9/10. love them loads, but could have gone without the judo flip + other odd behaviors that are only seen as “cute” because the sexes are flipped, otherwise they’re great

Jercy - 1/10. i can see potential i guess but also there’s just a lot of better options for both of these characters imo, plus i see them as bros

Valgrace - 10/10, to storm or fire the world must fall, best friends to lovers, no notes

Solangelo - 2/10. i can see…the potential. their “significant annoyance” scene gave me the warm fuzzies as a 14 year old looking for rep. but oh my god how they’re written in canon sometimes is just so bad, it ruins fanon for me as well. not to mention the one-dimensional-ization done in order to amplify the “grumpy x sunshine !!!1!” trope. however i will say Some solangelo fans understand that they should Both be freaks (and in that AU it’s a respectable 8/10 from me) and the ship has fantastic fan artists

Shelper - 2/10. no hate i’m just bored…like who is shel?? tell me one thing about her personality. does she get any dialogue?? richard??

Jasper/Jiper - 1/10 the fake memories were cute but the inside of pipers head did not pass the Bechdel test. would love to see them as platonic soulmate roommates though

Jeyna - 1/10 the devotion is admirable but yk. can relate being aroace and latching on to some dude lmao

Theyna - 4/10. not my cup of tea but in a world where either they aren’t hunters or it’s an interpretation where the hunters can be lesbians…it’s a good ship. haven’t really seen much for them but I’m open to it. might prefer them as a platonic buddy cop duo though

Pernico - 4/10 i see them as annoying cousins but i respect the angst potential of unrequited love. i don’t think the ship as endgame would be good for either of the characters. however, again, really good fan artists

Jasico - 10/10 the drinking out of the chalice scene was hot don’t look at me. really good fan artists etc. i should write more with them

Valdangelo - 10/10, yk how i feel about pushing my blorbos together and making them kiss lol. massively underrated, read ceaseless eve, etc

Pipabeth - 7.5/10 i like percabeth more but it’s my favorite piper ship. I haven’t seen much content with them but i’ve liked what i have seen. I might make some stuff with them

Rachbeth - 2/10, the potential is there i guess but i see them as best friends

Perchel - 8.5/10 i guess i’m in the minority but what makes the pjo love triangle so compelling compared to other YA love triangles is that Both of the ships are really good. idk what to tell you they go well together

Lukercy - 6/10 i see the potential but if you’re going for dark fic vibes i think lukabeth is better

Lukabeth - 9/10 the dark fic potential has me chewing the furniture. wouldn’t ship them as like a fluffy endgame but that’s not the point

Frazel - 0/10 richard please let two people of the opposite sex be friends

Caleo - -100000000/10 nothing could be a better crafted anti-caleo fic than canon itself

#pjo #perhaps i will tag the positively rated ships and not the others…i’ll receive flames either way so 🧍#percabeth #pipabeth #valdangelo #jasico #valgrace #perachel

Jasico Bingo challenge!!

Prompt: Mythomagic

Nico's silvery laughter filled the vacant Zeus cabin as he put down another card, effectively winning the game with room to spare.

Jason groaned for the hundredth time, only making Nico's laughter swell.

Usually, Jason would complain about Nico's competitiveness, but he hadn't heard him laugh like that in months, so he let it slide.

Winters were hard for Nico. Not only was the world riddled with death and incredibly overstimulating for someone alerted of every death in his vicinity, but it was also close to the death of his sister.

Jason decided to smile and let his bragging go on. "I don't get it," Jason said, adjusting his glasses, "how do you keep winning?"

Nico shrugged. "I guess you just suck."

"Am I better than Frank?"

Nico laughed, not answering. He chewed his lip before examining his winning cards and the ones Jason lost with.

Nico scooted next to him, allowing Jason to snake an arm around him. Touching Nico was like petting a cat, it would either bite, run, or let you be. Jason was happy to confirm it was the last option this time around.

"You're too focused on offense. You don't have any defensive cards in play. Show me your hand," Nico said fast, the Italian in him making no room for a break between sentences.

Jason held out his palm. Nico laughed, earning a confused look. "No, I meant the cards in your hand. Not your actual hand," he chuckled, letting his hand fall over Jason's. He didn't intertwine their fingers but instead played absently with Jason's hand.

Jason provided Nico with a clear sight of the cards he had in his left hand. His deck wasn't as elaborate as Nico's, as it was comprised mostly of borrowed and new cards, but it was enough to at least compete with him a little.

"You should've played your siren when you played the Poseidon. They can offer you defense for three turns and you could've played your hydra afterward," he said, examining the cards.

Jason didn't understand half of what he said, but he nodded anyway. He liked it when Nico talked. You could practically see the years of trauma and turmoil melt off him as he babbled about his favorite game. He looked like a normal teenager, aside from his collection of scars and bruises that constantly littered his pale skin.

After a few more rounds and slightly less harrowing losses on Jason's part—which he was undoubtedly proud of—the sun began to set.

Jason could tell he was actually improving at the game. He got close to beating Nico several times before Nico checked his phone and sighed.

"Alright, one more round, then I'm going back to my cabin. Make it a good one," Nico laughed hollowly. It was the kind of laugh he did to fill gaps between words and make himself less threatening. Jason wished he knew he didn't have to do that around him.

They each threw down their first god cards, Jason with Boreas and Nico with Demeter.

Pretty soon, the game looked like it was about to be a tie. Jason, desperate to win at least once, devised his plan.

Nico had made a rule early on that if you fully remove a card from your hand, even if you choose not to play it or even set it down, you had to play it. The only expectation was if the text was small and you were moving it closer to read it.

So, as Jason watched Nico smile, putting his hand on a card that might make or break his final move, he came up with his plan.

Right as Nico was swapping his hand between two cards, Jason leaned forward and pressed a light kiss to his cheek.

Nico jumped, pulling his hand away from his deck, the card still between his fingers.

His face turned red quickly, contrasting his dark hair violently. He stared at Jason, mouth open in a mixture of surprise and amusement.

"You unbelievable jerk," Nico laughed, staring at the card as if it had personally slaughtered his whole family.

Jason practically cackled as Nico slammed down Bounties Harvest, possibly the worst card in the game.

"You're such a cheater!" Nico laughed. He sounded much younger than than usual. His typical aloof and unbothered nature got lost as he pointed his finger at the perpetrator.

Jason moved his army forward, finally winning the game. He moved Nico's HP tracker to zero for him, practically having to wipe tears out of his eyes from the laughter.

"I'm never playing mythomagic with you again," Nico said through laughs.

"We both know that isn't true."

"Don't test it blondie."

I also posted this on AO3:

My card:

hello, hello! :)

so, my name is piper, and here’s one thing you need to know about me: i’m obsessed with valgrace.

but there’s a lot more you ought to know, too! so i made this post.

i’m a minor in junior high school and an aspiring writer, director, and theatre actor ; i’m genderfluid, aroace, & i use she/he/they pronouns with a slight preference for she/he. :))

i’m not going to link other social medias/accounts here because this is actually the fourth tumblr account i have and is admittedly a bit of an escape from my other ones (not that there’s much to escape from, really — i’m just dramatic Like That). i also have adhd!

ah, now to the important stuff.

FANDOMS: pjo/hoo/riordanverse, the hunger games, kpop (mostly twice, nmixx, itzy, lesserafim, & skz, but i’m getting into a lot more groups), conan gray, infinity train, the magnus archives, dead poets society, everything everywhere all at once, the good place, ethics town, voltron, the stanley parable, the owl house, pokémon, animal crossing, stardew valley, writeblr, genshin impact, honkai star rail, project sekai, alien stage, musicals (hadestown, into the woods, bmc, etc.), a lot of books (such as agggtm, the secret history, babel, etc.), AND the oddly specific but surprisingly dense community of hero x villain snippets here on tumblr.

DNI IF you’re a proshipper (especially if you romantically ship things like pernico & jasico), anti of my favs, still opposed to leah as annabeth in the pjo show (seriously?? grow up), racist/homophobic/transphobic etc, zionist, & you fund/support that “bring back ofmd” campaign [why is that a bad thing? a) that money could go to way better things, b) the show stars literal zionists, including taika waititi, & c) it is about/romanticizes real pirates who were slave-traders. like, what the fuck.]

🇵🇸🍉 I WILL REGULARLY REBLOG POSTS RELATED TO THE ONGOING GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE. (and also occasionally posts that relate to my moral views, such as / for example, a post criticizing taylor swift’s actions as a billionaire. please keep that in mind before following. also note that i am not a taylor swift hater, as one might assume from the former thing i just said — i am just a firm believer that celebrities & public figures should be held accountable for their actions. i’m, like, a quarter swifite, i guess? i like her music.)

aaaaand that’s about it. thanks for reading; peace! ✌️

— piper :))

For the character thing: our homeboy, Jason

thank you i love you this is fun!!!

First impression: I honestly cannot remember, so it wasn't great lol. I think I found him pretty basic, I was a lot more focused on the other characters in his scenes

Impression now: he is my baby brother, I want to wrap him in a blanket and hug him for 40 minutes. he's shouldering the weight of expectation and trying to do it silently, he's self-sacrificing to the point of harm, he needs someone to gently smoosh his cheeks and tell him he's going to be okay

Favorite moment: this is a little one, but that time that Leo and Piper just made an offhand comment about how they found Nico creepy and Jason told them he was great, actually. i don't have my book with me rn so i can't look up the exact quote, but it meant a lot to me that he stood up for Nico (even in a really small way!) when Nico wasn't even there. that's the core of Jason! he does the right thing even if it's a tiny action, even if it means potentially making people uncomfortable! thats his best friend and his girlfriend that he just gently reprimanded! for a dude he's not even friends with yet, but who needs the support! he's kind!

Idea for a story: lol i currently have about 6 wips involving jason, most of which will never see the light of day, BUT! i've got a bodyswap fic in the works where For Reasons Jason and Will swap bodies for three days and aren't allowed to tell anyone about it. this is frustrating for both of them, and the most revealing Jason Detail in the story is how little he actually shares about his feelings with the people around him - it's far easier for Will to keep up the ruse in his body than it is for Jason in Will's

Unpopular opinion: see, i don't know how unpopular my opinions about the boy are, because i isolate myself in the jasico nation where we mostly have fairly similar ideas about him. i guess my most controversial take so far is that I hc him as gay, not bi. i look at his relationships with girls and see a whole lot of comp het and doing what everyone else thinks is best for him. (it helps that he's my personal projection boy <3)

Favorite relationship: blah blah blah jasico blog I LOVE WHAT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THALIA COULD HAVE BEEN. I think the two of them would have been SO good for one another, had Richard decided he wanted them close. Thalia could teach Jason how to care less about the good opinions of others and prioritize his own health and moral compass! Jason could have given Thalia a stronger connection to the mortal world and helped her connect her present self with the girl she used to be! They could have found family in one another again, someone who understands the pressure that comes with being their parents' children! SIBLINGS!

Favorite headcanon: he loved punk music and it surprised everyone who met him :) part of it is that thalia used to play it a lot when they were together because she thought it was hilarious to see a chubby little 2-year-old bouncing his knees to Bikini Kill, and even though he might not specifically remember that, angry guitar and fast drums sound Warm to him. another part is the whole 'he rebelled in small ways' thing he had going on at New Rome. y'all remember that? joined the worst cohort, wanted to change the rules, kept refusing praetorship. he wasn't allowed to publicly act out or express his anger, but Green Day had his back!

thanks for sending this!! if anyone else is interested, here's the ask meme!

#mj talks #lol this was longer than expected whoops #i just have a lot of feelings about him!#my boy

Just saw sb say Jasico shippers who are also Solangelo antis are losers who dont care for Nico’s healing journey

anyway an AU in which Nico did leave both Camps after the war, spent a few years afterward traveling the world to see and meet more people, learning about the LGBT+ community, working as an ambassador for his dad, talking to ghosts, ended up having his knowledge horizon widened, and returned to the Camps much later as a completely different human being - at peace and free.

I can damn well save him without putting him in a couple. Solangelo isn’t special. Selflove Nico for the win.

(I very much love Solangelo, but I decided to take this personally bc im also a Jasico die hard, so)

Hello anon!!

Sorry for taking so long to answer you!! My mind has been all over the place. But here it is. Also, I'm sorry bc this is sort of a mess.

I agree with you, there are jasico shippers who also ship solangelo and not liking one ship doesn't mean you want a character to be miserable. And sometimes you want a character to be miserable and that is okay!

I'm not sure if this was a writing request, but I read your ask as this and wrote something.

Also I saw across the spiderverse lately and the idea of punk!Nico got in my head and now it just can't go away.

(the idea is that now Nico only deals with monsters and ghosts who are harming humans or demigods, and not shit related to gods and their missions. Also he sees some gusy from time to time but it is not dating, although I didn't make his romantic situation explicit)

...

Strange. That was the best word to define what Nico felt going back to Camp Half-Blood after so much time. His shoulders tensed and he felt a familiar discomfort on his stomach. His body was preparing for the judgement. It was just bad memories. He didn't care what those people thought about him, they were strangers and children. But in the end it didn't matter how much healing he had done in the past years, his past would always scar him. At least now, it didn't hurt.

Before he changed his mind, Nico entered the camp. It didn't look much different. The cabins are basically the same, kids running with the old ugly camp shirts, a lot of noise and fighting. Some part of him felt like he went back on time.

"Nico di Angelo."

The demigod opened a big smile. He recognized that sweet voice. Turning around he bowed to one of the only gentle beings he met at this place.

"Lady Hestia."

"It's been a long time since we saw each other."

Nico felt guilty. He had always liked Lady Hestia, since the first day they'd met. It wasn't his intention to spend so many years without seeing her.

"I'm sorry. You were almost always in camp and I..."

"It wasn't an accusation, you don't have to worry."

She looked at him with kindness. She always had.

“You look better.”

“I am better.”

Hestia nodded. She seemed satisfied.

“I imagine you want to talk to Dianisius and Chiron. They are at the Big House. See you around, Nico di Angelo.”

Nico bowed.

“I’ll go after you so we can properly talk when I finish at the Big House.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

Hestia walked away in the direction of her fire. Her appearance was the same as when Nico met her which comforted him for some reason.

While walking to the Big House, Nico asked himself where would he like to go on this visit? Would he want to meet some kids? Make a sort of tour? Avoid everyone besides Hestia? Would he want to see his old cabin? Enjoy the woods?

“Nico!! You… you changed!”

Nico smiled in amusement at Chiron's surprised face. He guessed his traumatic young self didn’t look like someone who would end up being a punk. He no longer wore only black, had tons of piercings, tattoos and some spikes in his clothes.

“I guess you could say that.”

“What brings you back here? Is there any problem?”

“No, I just wanted to see how things are.”

“Well, feel welcomed. I can give you a tour and show you the new things we got since the last time you came here.”

“I appreciate the offer, but I think I’ll just see my cabin.”

“Would you like to talk to the kids? I’m sure they can learn something useful with such an experienced demigod as you.”

Nico pondered the question. It was not like he was opposed to helping the kids, but he really didn’t want to have anything to do with what was happening at camp. Sure, there were some changes made by Apollo, however Nico still despised what was going on there.

“If the kids have any problem with a mission you can call me, I wouldn’t mind helping them.”

It wasn’t what Chiron asked and Nico didn’t care. He shook his head as a way to say good-bye and walked away.

Nico wasn't sure what he expected with his visit. Maybe have some closure? See how much of his past he had overcome? Throw salt in the almost healed wound? Maybe he just didn’t want to feel like he was running from his past.

Seeing Hestia was good, though. And coming back just made him feel sure he made the right choice to leave the camp. What would have he become in a place like this that also ostracized him? Would he have become comfortable with his sexuality? As much as he was now? Maybe he would still be doing missions for gods.

Should he go to his cabin? He didn’t have much to do with the kid he once was, lonely, full of self-hatred, in love with some boy, sometimes consumed by trauma. He had a community now, had made friends, moved on, worked on his problems. Maybe he should just really leave all of this behind, talk to Hestia and give his proper goodbye to this haunted place. Yeah, Nico would do that.

Visiting Camp Half-Blood ended up not being so bad in the end.

My Nightingale - A Jasico Fanfic (Part 4)

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Nico skipped to breakfast the next morning, completely ignoring his exhaustion for staying up all night romanticizing possible situations with Jason.

“Someone looks happy.”

Leo said and Nico never felt this good in a long time.

“You could say that.”

He said and munched away on an apple, subconsciously knowing that Jason had said it was his favorite fruit. The day dragged on as per usual with the occasional monster attack every hour or so, but Nico couldn’t wait for it to end. He wished the sun would just go down already so he could talk with Jason because that was mostly the only time they truly got to talk. It was the nights they shared that Nico craved, he wanted that company for once and it terrified him. He never desired this kind of connection with someone before aside from Percy, and it was scary. Nico prayed and hoped he wasn’t wasting his time all over again, because he wasn’t going to spend another four years doting on someone who would never return his feelings. So, it was now or never.

After dinner, Jason ended up joining him above decks like the night before. Nico’s heart was beating out of his chest as Jason stood beside him and they watched the waves in comfortable silence for awhile. Then Nico decided it was time.

“Jason?”

“Yeah?”

Nico bit his lip, forever wondering if he was making the right choice or not. To say that he was nervous was an understatement, because he was far more than nervous. Anxious out of his mind, for sure.

“We were talking about past relationships last night, and I guess I did love someone before.”

Nico began, and Jason presented him with his undivided attention.

“I loved Percy, but he didn’t know. It wouldn’t have ever worked, obviously.”

Nico laughed nervously as he said this, his eyes dropping to the ground as he fidgeted with the silver ring on his finger.

“He’s dating the blonde chick, right?”

Jason said and he nodded.

“Annabeth. But tell me Jason,”

Nico raised his gaze up to meet the older demigod’s eyes and braced himself for rejection.

“You know what it’s like to fall out of love, but imagine moving on from someone and immediately diving back in love once you’ve found someone who understands you, who’s healthier for you. Tell me, do you know what that’s like?”

Nico asked as he stepped in closer. Jason looked momentarily stunned for a bit once he seemed to catch onto what Nico was saying. He could see the revelation in Jason’s eyes as his voice dropped down to a hoarse whisper.

“I think I’ve just experienced that now.”

He said quietly, and before either of the two boys understood what was happening, their lips met in the sweetest kiss Jason ever had, and Nico’s first. Nico didn’t really know how to kiss, but Jason guided him with gentle touches and Nico felt more reassured as he leaned into Jason’s chest.

“I think I like you.”

Nico said breathlessly once they parted. The kiss was dizzying and he felt like he was walking on clouds, and he never wanted the feeling to end.

“I...I think I like you too.”

Jason could only echo what he said because it was the truth of the matter. Nothing more needed to be said as Jason placed his hands on Nico’s waist and leaned down to kiss him full on the lips a second time, and Nico reached up on his tiptoes to wrap his arms around his neck. It felt magical to both of them and Nico made a small sound of surprise once Jason lifted him up underneath his thighs so he could wrap his slender legs around his waist. The kiss gradually got more heated and Nico’s hands found their way into his blonde hair and he tugged on the strands as Jason released his mouth and instead began lightly kissing his neck. Nico leaned his head back and managed to pull Jason closer as he felt his teeth slowly graze a sensitive spot on his throat.

“Bed.”

It was only one word but Jason understood it perfectly once Nico said it, and he carried him downstairs until they reached his room. Somewhere along the way, Nico’s shirt got lost as well as Jason’s jacket and eventually his pants. He laid Nico down carefully on the large mattress and quickly got his jeans down his legs. Once both of them were naked, Jason easily picked up Nico and placed him on his lap. The smaller boy could feel Jason’s hard erection between his legs and he could feel himself getting more aroused as the seconds passed by. Their lips met once again in an even more hasty kiss as Jason’s hands made their way down Nico’s lower back to cup his ass. His fingernails dug into the soft flesh as he bit Nico’s neck again, and he couldn’t help but keep touching him all over as Nico kept shifting around in his lap.

Jason dragged his hands up to his sides to feel up his delicate skin that stretched over his prominent fragile rib cage. He touched everywhere he could reach, as long as Nico didn’t seem to mind. Jason didn’t know what had recently come over them, but he didn’t want this to be his only and last chance to hold the boy he had growing feelings for. Nico whimpered as Jason’s traveling hands rested in between his thighs and slowly stroked the sensitive skin there.

“J-Jason...”

Nico whined as he took his cock and started jacking him off. He hoped Jason didn’t mind him paying attention to his body as Nico’s quivering hands reached up to feel Jason’s hard muscles and biceps that flexed under his fingertips as he continued giving Nico a handjob. Suddenly he stopped and Nico was left confused for a bit before he realized Jason had picked him up again but this time he was supporting him with his hip. Nico clung to him as he walked over to his nightstand and took out a bottle of lube.

“Still okay with this?”

Jason asked.

“Yeah.”

Nico answered, and he couldn’t help but get more excited as he listened to Jason speak. The older boy’s voice had grown much deeper and was full of desire. They got back on the bed and resumed their previous position with Nico sitting on Jason’s lap. Nico watched intently as Jason took the lube and coated his fingers in the substance. He grabbed Nico’s ass again and spread his cheeks before circling his tight pink hole with two fingers. He instinctively pulled away from him, but Jason was quick to whisper soothing things in his ear as he slowly inserted one finger. Nico was quick to tense up, but quickly relaxed and moaned as Jason touched his sweet spot.

“There?”

He said throatily and Nico nodded into his shoulder. Smiling triumphantly, Jason carefully inserted a second finger and Nico seemed to take it well.

“First time, huh?”

Jason said as if they were having a conversation over breakfast.

“Y-Yeah.”

Nico shuddered again as his prostate was stimulated. With his other hand, Jason pushed two fingers in next to his other two and stretched Nico further. He rubbed along his velvety soft walls, hoping to find all the places that made the smaller boy squirm and moan in pleasure. Jason didn’t have to put too much effort into finding Nico’s pleasure points since the boy was already so sensitive, and he whimpered as he circled his hips on Jason’s lap. Feeling brave, Jason added one more finger from each hand and Nico gasped and arched his back. He ended up spending at least thirty minutes opening Nico, sadly knowing it would be painful no matter what. Still, Jason made sure he prepared him well with plenty of lube as he carefully removed his fingers from Nico’s tight hole. He looked down at the boy and saw how desperate he looked, his large eyes holding Jason captive as he waited for the events to come. Jason thought he never looked more beautiful as he pinned Nico under him and slowly entered him after lubricating his hard cock. He winced in pain as the head of Jason’s dick slid inside him with some difficulty. Quickly noticing his pain, Jason pressed a gentle kiss to his pink lips as Nico clutched at his hard biceps.

“H-Hurts.”

Nico said and Jason felt the sinking weight of guilt as he stopped moving inside of him.

“I’m sorry, we can stop if you want.”

He suggested but Nico was quick to shake his head ‘no’.

“Just keep going, okay?”

He requested and Jason nodded as he cautiously continued inserting the rest of his length into Nico’s impossibly tight body. He stopped again immediately after hearing Nico gasp once he reached the girth of his cock. “Nico-“

“No. I said keep going.”

Jason obeyed with hesitancy as he saw that Nico was trembling with the effort not cry, although a single tear rolled down his pale cheek. Jason was quick to wipe it away and to go back to whispering calming things to Nico until he finally thrusted fully inside him. He waited as the boy got used to his size and planted kisses all over his baby soft skin. Nico moaned breathlessly as Jason rested his forearms on either side of his head and made eye contact with him.

“I’m ready, you can move now.”

Nico said and Jason carefully pulled out and thrusted back in. He groaned as Nico’s heat enveloped him and beckoned him to go deeper, and his forehead contracted as he looked down and saw where his cock was pushing into Nico’s hole.

“Jason...Harder..”

He whimpered and Jason felt Nico’s hands grip his back as he proceeded to make love to him. After a while, Jason was pounding into him at an impossible speed as the bed creaked and threatened to break beneath them. Nico’s gasps and moans made it all worth it despite the physical fatigue that both of them were feeling after an hour of uncontrolled fucking. Jason braced his hand against the wooden headboard as his hips snapped forward making his cock directly touch Nico’s prostate, causing the boy to want to scream in pleasure.

The two went for a couple more rounds before eventually tiring out. Nico was covered in Jason’s cum as well as his own as the older boy pulled out of him and laid down beside him. It took them a minute to catch their breaths and come down from the high of hormones mixed with lust. Nico and Jason stared at the ceiling in silence with the covers pulled over their bodies.

“Nico?”

Jason said at last, breaking the quiet that was only interrupted with the sound of their breathing.

“Yeah?”

“We need to talk about this us.”

Jason’s eyes never left the ceiling as he waited for Nico’s response.

“What do you mean?”

He asked as he rolled over and tucked himself under Jason’s arm.

“Like...What are we? Was this just a one night stand?”

The words got lodged in the back of his throat as he spoke them with difficulty. They were hard questions that Jason wasn’t sure if we wanted to know the answer to, but all he knew was that he was falling hard in love with Nico, but he didn’t know if he could live with the truth if the boy didn’t love him back.

“I don’t know, Jase...But I like you and I know you said you liked me too, but I’m not sure what that means for both of us.”

Nico murmured in the darkness as he cuddled closer to Jason, his body heat feeling pleasantly comfortable against his naturally cold skin.

“I wouldn’t mind us being a couple, if that’s what you want, of course.”

Jason threw all caution to the wind as he suggested a boyfriend situation. Though he did note that Nico didn’t pull away from him, which he took as a fairly good sign.

“I would like that,”

Nico started as he nuzzled Jason’s cheek.

“But you just broke up with Piper, didn’t you? Are you sure you’re ready for a relationship?”

Now it was Nico’s turn to ask the hard questions. Jason’s eyes dropped from the ceiling and he also turned on his side to embrace Nico better.

“Do you remember what you said to me earlier about falling back in love right after falling out of it? Well, to answer your question, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be for a relationship with you.”

Warmth flooded Nico’s veins as he listened to Jason’s statement. For once in a very long time, he felt like the happiest person on earth, and it was a feeling that he didn’t want to end. Nico looked up the same time Jason looked down and their eyes were locked with one another with nothing but sheer understanding that only occurred when two people were in love. Without even thinking about it, their lips met as naturally as ever in a kiss that shared all of the best emotions in the world. And now Nico knew he was safe and he was at peace.

“I love you, Jason.”

“And I love you.”

They said after the kiss was broken. Nico’s hands traveled over Jason’s hard abs and he pressed a kiss to his shoulder.

“You know...The sun isn’t up yet and we don’t have to get up anytime soon...”

Nico said with a hint of mischief in his voice. Jason eagerly picked up his hint and slid his leg in between Nico’s.

“One more round?”

He asked.

“One more round.”

Nico replied.

The End.

It would be really cool if Hades would enchant Nicos skull ring to have all the powers of the helm of darkness. That way Nico could shadow travel all the time as much as he wants to anywhere in the world without having to worry about being exhausting himself. (Will and Piper are not apart of this I’m sorry.

And Hades does this right after the war with Gea when Nico is still fading. Hades doesn’t ever want something like that happening to his son again. And he would have enchanted the ring sooner but he was so busy with the whole split personality disorder with Pluto. The only problem is he doesn’t think to tell Nico that he’s taking the ring for a little while to enchant it.

So Nico wakes up one morning a couple days after the war and he just feels wrong. Something about his hands feels unleveled. He wiggles his fingers and reaches for the ring that he was in the habit of twisting around his finger. It’s not there. Gone. Family heirloom and last gift from Bianca and/or his father is just gone. Oh the tragedy. Oh the despair.

He thinks it might have fell off while he was sleeping which has never happened before but well he has lost some weight maybe his finger just got a little too thin and the ring slipped off. So he turns the entire Hades cabin upside down looking for this ring because he knows he had it when he went to bed last night. He vividly remembers fidgeting with the ring as he was about to fall asleep so it’s gotta be somewhere in this dam cabin.

Hazel woke up to Nico scuttling around on the floor and quietly hissing “where is iiiiiiiiiittt. where is iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt!” His bed was overturned and blankets were thrown across the cabin. Everything was out of its place. Ugh. She had to get the Roman’s all packed up and ready to leave before noon, she did not need to be dealing with her insane brothers antics and shenanigans this morning.

Nico goes insane for several days fretting over this ring. Hazel and Reyna help him look as much as they can but they’re very busy with the Roman’s and soon they leave. Jason helps him look after that but they find nothing.

In a fit of despair Nico decides he’s looked everywhere literally everywhere even the places where it cannot possibly be and he decides to take a trip to the underworld and apologetically explain to his father that he lost the ring because Maybe Hades can help find it.

He explains this to Jason and promises he’ll be back within a weeks time (because he might want to stay for dinner and rest before the long trip back and might want to say hello to a couple friends down there). Jason insists on going with him. Nico reluctantly obliged.

So they go to the underworld. Nico is a total mess. You’d think he did something actually awful and genuinely regretted it by the way he was acting instead of loosing a ring. He tells Hades what happened and apologizes profusely. Jason is just kinda standing there next to him the whole time.

Hades is confused why his son is acting this way at first but then apologizes for taking the ring without warning and explains that he was enchanting it to replicate the helms powers and was going to give it back as soon as it was done.

Nico collapses on the floor of the throne room and rolls around and cries in relief. The ring is safe. The family heirloom is not lost. The last gift from Bianca and his father is in trusted hands. His loving father who meant well just had a moment of stupidity and forgot to tell him.

And Jason breathes a sigh of relief as well and sits down on the floor as Nico rolls around and has his little tantrum.

Afterwards Hades invites them both to dinner and they eat all their favorite foods and Hades offers to let them stay in Nico’s room for as long as they like or until the ring is finished or they could go back to camp now and Hades will send the ring up when it’s done.

They choose to hang out in the underworld until the ring is done. Hades sends a few cadavers up to the mortal to get food groceries for Jason and bring them back down there cause Jason can’t eat underworld food.

They have a great time playing in Nico’s giant apartment. There’s a trampoline and a hot tub and a pool and a game room and a ping pong table and air hockey and video games and movies. They just have a good old time.

And when the ring is done Hades literally brings it to Nico on a silver platter. He puts the ring on and discovers it also has healing properties. He no longer feels fatigued at all. Not a single part of him is the least bit shadowy. But the shadows still cling to him and are easier to control. He basically has all the power of a god with this ring now. But everyone knows they can’t really say that out loud or else you know who will be mad.

Nico and Jason decide to stay for one last dinner with Hades and Persephone. They have a great time. Jason unexpectedly gets along great with Hades. And Persephone is kinda quiet but there are no arguments as there sometimes are. They say goodbye to Hades and Nicos first yeast run of the ring is from the palace kitchen to Camp Half-Blood. It works like a charm. Happily ever after.

Jasico Bingo Challenge: love letter

A sheet of paper, folded into thirds, dotted in places with what must be water and grass stains. The handwriting is legible in some places, and shaky in others. In the margins are small doodles of birds, clouds, trees, and other miscellaneous, abstract shapes, as if the writer’s mind kept wandering.

TO: Nico di Angelo

FROM: Jason Grace

Hey, Nico. If you’re reading this, something probably happened to me. Maybe I hit my head again and lost my memories, or something, and you went through my stuff to try and find things to remind me of who I was. Maybe this fell out while we were hanging out, one day, and you saw it was addressed to you and you picked it up. Maybe I died—

However you found this, I guess, surprise! :)

First thing’s first: I’m sorry for leaving. I know I begged you to stay, and then turned around and left, and I really hope you understand - I didn’t leave because of you. I needed to find Leo, and leaving with Piper was the easiest way to do that. I had to try and get him back.

I wanted you to come with, but you were still healing and things were going really well with you and Will. I hope things still are, in fact. Wherever I am, I’m so proud of you for how far you’ve come, and how much I’m sure you continued to grow even after I left.

I really love you, man. I never got to tell you that, but you’re one of my best, closest friends. You mean so much to me. You showed me a side of the world that I never would’ve seen otherwise, and gave me a space to be myself, and I will never, ever know how I deserved that. How I deserve you.

Is that out of left field? Haha it definitely is. Sorry.

I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Nico. I didn’t want to leave. I’m so sorry for leaving you. I’m sorry I had to go and I’m sorry it had to be me, but it couldn’t be her, Nico, it can’t be her, it can’t be. It has to be me.

It has to be.

Here, some of the words are smeared from the water marks. Lines cross through some words that have then been re-written, as if in after-thought the author realized they were too important to delete.

If you really are reading this, after the worst case scenario, I understand if you’re angry. I understand if you never want to think about me again, after what I’ve done. I’ll understand if you storm to your father’s palace and demand I be placed in the worst of the worst punishments for being so stupid.

Gods. Gods, Nico, I’m never going to get to tell you how I really feel. About all of this, about everything I’m going through, I’m never going to be able to tell you and that hurts. It hurts more than knowing I’m going to die, it hurts more than getting stabbed and poisoned. I’m going to die loving you and you won’t even know until it’s too late.

Maybe this is a stupid bad idea. Maybe I should let it die with me. Is it cruel, to tell you how I feel if I’m gone? Does this make me an awful person?

Shit. I think I’m an awful person, Nico. I’m awful and I’m selfish and I can never choose things for myself, it always has to be for the greater good, so this is it. This is as selfish as I can be. This is all I can be for you.

I want to see you on the other side. I want you to punch me for getting myself killed and hate me for being a hero and I want you to know that I didn’t want this but it needed to be me. It has to be me.

I’m still wrapping my head around it, but it has to be me, okay? So if I’m really gone when you’re reading this, okay, you have to let me stay gone. Please. If you get hurt, if you die, and it’s my fault, I could never—

Here, the letter abruptly stops. Then, it continues:

That’s all I wanted to say, anyway. That I love you. I love you in any way I can, and even if I’ve done it silently, and stupidly, from a distance, just know that it was there, the whole time. It’s still there, wherever I am. Dead, or lost, or whatever. I love you, Nico. I’m sorry.

-- Jason Grace :)

#jasicobingochallenge2024 #love letter #tw major character death ment #tw suicidal ideation #i haven't read TOA so I don't really know what Went Down with this shit but I think Jason did journal-type letters to people #he wrote down whatever it was he wished he could say to them before he died #I think there's one to Piper about how much he loves her and wishes things could've been different for them #I think there's one to Leo where Jason pours his guts out about how much he hates him and needs him and wishes he hadn't died #(the irony of that is lost on him)#he writes one to Reyna about how he wishes they had more time to be friends again #He writes one to Hazel begging her to keep an eye on Nico. pleasing for her forgiveness because he knows she'll be so angry #one to Percy and Annabeth in a similar vein.#i thik Jason just had a lot of feelings that he never let himself feel until he decided to die for everyone #and in that moment his dams broke and he realized that he was never going to have the chance to be himself #not really #he was destined for this. he was destined to be the son of jupiter champion of hera sacrifice of olympus.#who knew the boy raised by wolves was really a lamb for the slaughter #ANYWAY. :)#pjo #jason grace #hoo #nico di angelo #jasico

Jason died cause he boring. He literally an all American boy someone who would have been popular in the 90s. Compare all main characters first chapter to Jason and you can tell he bland like white bread. Jason lacks the popularity of Percy cause if Percy was dead expect a riot plus we already had a better Zeus contrast with Thalia. Apollo is the more interesting character and Apollo son is a better contrast to Nico. Had he not had a GF maybe he could have been Nico love interest but Rick decided on Nico being gay extremely late he said it himself and what does it look like having a guy break up with his GF (poc) to be with Nico(white emo kid) in a kid series. Will was convenient no weird background no known relationship and the complete opposite to Nico and people get mad but it work you don’t get a solo book if the fanbase wasn’t big. The

There’re so many points at once in this ask and I don’t think I’m comprehending them right so I guess I’ll just post my reactions upon reading this.

- Jason’s bland like a white bread -> Good news! I like white bread. I think white bread is a perfect canvas to add all of your favorite toppings to make the best meal for you. ☺️😋😋

So if Rick really did kill Jason only bc he’s bland then he’s a coward solely bc he can’t figure out what color to put on Jason’s canvas.

- Apollo’s son is a better contrast to Nico -> This is subjective so I’ll leave it for any day. Though it got me thinking. Why, exactly, should the contrast matter?

Because fun fact! Jason and Nico have many working parallels that can be great materials for relationship development. Ask a random Jasico fanfic writers and they’ll give a thesis.

On the other hand, to be honest?, we already have Percabeth as the opposites-attract/bantering/significant annoyance trope. I ngl can do without another similar one. 🤷‍♀️

- Err i’m not American so I don’t think I’m in any position to talk about the poc girl vs white emo boy thing but if anything, I find it’s valid. Smh shame

Edit: Haise pointed out that Nico is not white, he’s Venetian and has olive skin. I honestly don’t know what it makes this…

- You don’t get a solo book if the fanbase isn’t big enough -> This is undeniably true.

HOWEVER

Pal. My friend. Mate. Listen. Just wait until I show you how many people absolutely despite the existence that is TSATS——

I’m all for letting people enjoy things. Though, if you ask me - me, who came to PJO solely for Solangelo and binge read TSATS in like 2 nights and cried a river on my pillow, I would say TSATS is Rick’s poor attempt of:

1/ milking the franchise (which is understandable. Capitalism you know bla bla bla)

2/ giving a half-heartedly made closure to the fandom’s favorite (which is sort of fanservice? Idk)

3/ and along with it solidifying the foundation of his gay love story, which didn’t have the… err prettiest start? (which I reckon accounts for a lot of the franchise’s popularity).

And yeah it’s easy to see that Nico being gay is a late decision with how Rick worked it out lmao.

“If soulmates do exist, they are not found, they are made”

I think in a way, it fits jasico

I love the idea of people who were destined to be with each other; but also I love the idea of them not working because it was said in the stars, but because they put the work and effort there, because is something worth working on.

And in a way, that’s how jasico is for me. While in my aus I don’t go that route, I love how at the beginning they don’t start with the right foot (or so we guess, we never learn how we meet); in the sense that neither of them really like the other.

But then, destiny plays their hand; and Jason refuses to let Nico suffer, and Nico in the end becomes someone close to Jason.

We never got it in canon, but I really think it could work; they slowly learning about each other, helping the other heal from their trauma, and along the ways, finding that the ways in which they growth meant that they fit perfectly with the other.

I don’t know but the idea I have of them is goals.

Jasico Bingo Challenge #13!!

Prompt: Hiding and Injury

Jason was pretty sure he was going to die.

Ok, maybe that was a bit dramatic. Still, the horrible gash on his side never quit seeping blood. Even in the middle of the night, when he had to practically crawl to the Camp Half-Blood bathrooms.

He prayed no one else was awake and pushed open the door.

Of course, Nico was awake. He was always awake. Jason was pretty sure he never slept.

"Hey Jason—woah. You ok?" Nico said, looking up from washing his hands to see Jason covered in blood. "You ok?" felt like a bit of an underreaction, but Jason appreciated the lack of freaking out.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just an old wound that opened up." He explained, turning on the sink and tugging off his shirt.

"Gross. Show me," Nico said, like a kid whose friend just told him he found mold somewhere. Nico was starting to sound more and more his age these days.

Jason turned to let him see better. He winced at his movement, but Nico inspected it with gentle eyes.

"That looks infected," Nico said.

"Probably."

"Ew."

A lapse of silence overtook them. It was clear Nico wasn't going anywhere.

The son of Hades hoisted himself up onto the wooden countertop and watched intently. Jason usually basked in his never-ending gaze, but now he cowered in it.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Nico asked, examining his lack of knowledge in wound care.

"Sure."

"Really?"

"No."

Jason put his glasses on, retrieving them from their perch on the top of his head.

"You should go to the infirmary," Nico said.

"No," Jason said a little firmer than he meant to, but Nico didn't seem bothered.

Jason wet a rag and pressed it to the wound. The blood seemed to never stop flowing. Maybe he'd just live like this, rag pressed against his side, for the rest of his life.

"I can fix it," Nico offered.

Jason jumped. He had almost forgotten Nico was even there. "What do you mean?"

"I don't like going to the infirmary either. I got pretty good at fixing myself up when I was..." Nico cut off.

It was anybody's guess whether he was going to say "alone on the streets" or "in Tartarus" but either way, Jason didn't need him to finish. That sounded better than Jason's experience, which was none.

"Fine," Jason said, handing him the rag.

Nico snickered. "You'll need more than a rag, man. You definitely need stitches. Go to my cabin. I'll meet you there in a second."

With that, Nico walked into the shadows and teleported away. Jason hobbled to the Hades cabin, which was an unreasonable distance from the bathroom in his opinion.

Jason stood awkwardly in the middle of the room. He didn't want to get blood on anything. Also, he had never been in Nico's cabin.

Contrary to popular belief, it didn't look like a vampire lived there. It was decorated pretty normally, but most things were either black or maroon. Jason decided to stand on the red carpet, hoping that if his blood dripped it would blend in.

“Hey,” Nico said. Jason almost jumped out of his skin to see a slightly paler than when he left Nico with an arm full of medical supplies.

“Gods, man. You have got to stop shadow traveling everywhere.”

“If you could teleport, would you?”

“I mean…I guess.”

“Exactly. Now show me your gross gash.”

Jason pulled off his shirt again, letting Nico look at it. He could’ve sworn Nico’s face got a little redder when he took his shirt off, but he convinced himself it was the lighting.

Nico pulled over a bottle of rubbing alcohol and put it on a rag he’d grabbed. He poured the alcohol on and looked up at Jason semi-sympathetically. “I shouldn’t have to tell you this is going to burn like hell.”

Jason sighed and braced himself. “Just do it.”

Nico pressed the rag to his skin. Jason bit his tongue to avoid yelling at the top of his lungs.

Nico pulled the rag away, and the burning sensation slowly faded.

Then, Nico reached over to the desk beside him and retrieved a hair tie. He collected his shaggy black hair into the smallest ponytail known to man and picked up a stitch kit.

“This is gonna hurt bad. Sorry.” Nico said, picking up the needle.

“It’s fine. I’ve gotten stitches before.”

“Good. I’ve given stitches before. Seems we’re both experienced in our fields.”

Jason didn’t appreciate the dryness, but it did make him chuckle.

Pretty soon, Nico had readied the needle and hovered it above Jason’s skin.

Jason decided to distract himself by examining things around Nico’s room. It was an old tactic that he’d used a million times over. Jason was practically a pro at distracting himself.

Nico’s cabin was surprisingly tidy. He had one twin-sized bed, which Jason was currently sitting on. The bed looked comfortable. It had a lot of pillows and blankets, all either black or maroon.

He had a desk shoved against the wall by the end of the bed. Jason noticed a lot of books on it. He didn’t realize Nico liked to read.

There was also a pretty decked-out PC. Jason didn’t know much about computers, but he did know Nico liked video games. It wouldn’t surprise him if the Lotus Casino’s arcade had influenced Nico’s affinity for games.

On the other side of the room, opposite the bed, there was a dresser. Black clothes spilled out of it. On top of the dresser, there was a TV that he definitely wasn’t allowed to have. Jason wondered how Nico ever passed room inspection.

Once he had examined the cabin enough, Jason looked down at Nico.

Nico’s eyes held an intense kind of focus. His hands worked quickly but gently. Jason thought he was beautiful. The warm light of the lamps that littered his cabin glowed against his face.

Jason threw away the thought. He didn’t find Nico beautiful, he found his concentration beautiful.

Then, he considered how Nico had looked earlier. Sitting atop the bathroom counter, he was somehow just as radiant.

Jason had an internal war with his own mind for a moment before looking back down at Nico to distract himself from the sudden pangs of pain that came along with having a needle repeatedly shoved into your skin.

His face hadn’t changed from a few seconds ago, but somehow Jason thought he understood it more. It seemed more complex. It was so simple, just a face, but also it was Nico’s face.

Jason decided to move past that, and just as he was about to look away, Nico spoke. Somehow, even his voice didn’t sound like it used to.

“What’s your deal with the infirmary, by the way?” Nico asked, almost done with the stitches.

“I just don’t like to go…” Jason answered, trying to hide the blush he’d acquired.

“I’ll tell you why I don’t like to go if you tell me why you don’t?” Nico offered.

Jason would take any opportunity to learn more about Nico before his sudden realization, but now he definitely would. He nodded, “Fine,” and waited for Nico to tell him.

“I don’t like going because I didn’t have to for a long time. After I left camp as a kid, I had to learn how to take care of myself. Now that I know how to, I sometimes feel like going to the infirmary is some kind of weakness. I know it isn’t, but I just prefer to take care of myself,” Nico said, tying the stitches closed and moving away once and for all.

“Your turn,” he smiled. Jason watched as he packed away the needle and wiped the blood off his hands.

Jason sighed. “I’ve never actually been to a doctor's office before,” he muttered.

“Never?” Nico asked, picking up a cotton wrap.

“Never. I was raised mostly by Lupa. I only really integrated into society until I was a teenager. Then, I didn’t have a parent or anything to ever take me to a doctor. I never got hurt in a way I couldn’t deal with on my own.”

Nico nodded. “Huh. Crazy.” Jason liked that he didn’t make a big deal about it.

Jason’s face flushed with another realization. Jason liked Nico. A lot.

What didn’t help his newly realized crush was Nico having to wrap his arms around him to put on the bandage wrap.

Jason looked back on his history with Nico and realized two things. One: this crush had been going on forever and he was just too oblivious to realize he was in love with Nico. Two: he had to tell him how he felt right now or he wouldn’t ever do it.

So, he mustered up every ounce of courage in his body and looked over at Nico.

“Hey, Neeks. I don’t know why, but while I was sitting here I kinda realized just how…beautiful you are. I’m sorry, I know this is sudden and we haven’t known each other very long, but I like you. I totally get it if you’re not interested or if you need some time-”

Nico cut him off by pressing their lips together gently. Jason's eyes widened m, but he pressed them closed and leaned into the kiss.

“Finally,” Nico smiled, pulling away. “I was waiting for you to say something.”

“Wait, really?” Jason said.

“I thought you were subtly flirting with me for months.”

Jason mentally kicked himself for his skill to being oblivious of everything, including his own actions.

Nico laughed and pulled Jason into a gentle hug. Jason reached up to hug him back but felt a sharp pain in his side. Still, he held Nico close.

“I think I ripped a stitch,” Jason laughed into the hug.

“Godsdamn it.”
