Being the son of Jupiter had its perks.
Front row seating everywhere, first dibs on most of the “mid” quests, honorary exceptions from most pranks, and of course: constant suitors. (Not that the son of Jupiter would notice the last one).
However, it didn’t matter to the son of Jupiter that he had people flinging themselves on him. He already had someone, and he had no desire to end that relationship.
But that didn’t stop Nico, son of Hades, boyfriend (“don’t call me that”) to the son of Jupiter, from taking notice. Especially during their lunchtime together.
Every Wednesday, without fail, Nico and Jason would have lunch by themselves at the Hades table. It was unspoken between the other campers, but it’s quickly learned by anyone who spares a ten-second glance at them. (“Neither of them would talk to me.” “They’re sitting so close together, how cute!” “Why are they stealing each other's food? They’re eating the same thing.”)
Jason was already at the table, mindlessly drawing on the table with his finger. Nico was somewhere in the Midwest, but he assured Jason he would be back on time.
After beginning to eat, one of the Apollo girls approached Jason. Without Nico there to hold his attention hostage, he looked up at her.
“Hey, Jason, um-” she looked over to the Apollo table and giggled before turning back. “I saw you earlier at archery practice.” She blushed. Jason raised an eyebrow. “You know, I’ve never been too good with a bow, so I was wondering if you could teach me?”
Jason took a sip of his coke. “I’m sure your siblings would be better help, I’m only now getting the hang of it.”
The girl tsked and started to play with her hair. “I know, but . . . you’re just so fun to talk to and they’re all so annoying! You know how siblings are.”
Jason hmmed and look to the side. He spotted Nico walking away from the pavilion. He turned back to the girl. “I’m sorry, but I need to go.” He stood abruptly from his seat and attempted to follow Nico, leaving the girl flustered.
Jason didn’t plan on following up with the Apollo girl.
In the infirmary, Nico was being patched up. There were several bruises and cuts all over his body, and he looked quite tired. He accepted a kiss on the forehead from Jason before shooing him away, saying he would be out in a minute.
After leaving, Jason went to the pegasi stables to help clean and shovel hay. He didn’t really need to, but it would be easy for Nico to find him there.
There were some Demeter kids already there. Most were across the stables, shoveling hay and gagging at the smell. Jason, however, was with a boy who he regularly saw slacking off at the lake.
“So . . .” the boy trailed off. Jason looked up from where he was hanging up gear to look at the boy, but he wouldn’t meet Jason’s eyes.
“Sorry, I always get so nervous around you,” the boy blushed.
“There’s nothing to be nervous about,” Jason said. “C’mon man, I promise I don’t bite . . . often.”
It was a stupid joke that would’ve made anyone else scoff, but the Demeter boy laughed and covered his mouth quickly. Jason quirked an eyebrow as the other boy wiped a tear from his eye.
“You and Nico. Are you guys a thing?”
Jason blinked. Before he could respond, the temperature of the stables dropped. He turned around to see what was wrong (Nico probably arrived) only to find Nico once again walking away.
“I’m so sorry,” Jason said. The Demeter boy grimaced as Jason hurried away from him.
Nico was predictably in his cabin, sitting at his desk and scribbling away in a notebook. Jason approached Nico from behind, making sure the other could hear him.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” Jason asked softly.
“Don’t be like that, Nico.”
Nico’s shoulders tensed before turning around. His face was blotchy and there were tears caught on his eyelashes.
Jason cupped Nico’s face with both hands. Nico looked away as his bottom lip quivered.
“Nico, tell me what’s wrong,” Jason whispered.
Nico hiccuped. “Do you—do you really not notice?”
Jason blinked. “Notice what, baby?”
“Everyone just . . . flirts with you and you—“ Nico choked before shoving Jason away and turning back around.
“Baby, no,” Jason said quietly. He hugged Nico from behind as Nico sobbed. It dawned on Jason that perhaps, those people were coming on to him. “I never noticed them, Nico. I’m so sorry.”
Nico sniffed and wiped his eyes. “Do you promise? You’ve never noticed any of it?”
Jason kissed Nico’s cheek and hugged him. “Never, baby. I only have eyes for you.”
Jason could feel Nico’s blush as he hugged him.
“How does a nap sound?” Jason asked softly. They would need to talk about this later, but right now, Jason was too tired. And if he was, then surely Nico was too.
Nico sighed and nodded. “A nap sounds wonderful.” Jason grinned and kissed Nico’s forehead before climbing into bed with him.
