     I walked over to the three boys arguing by the archery station. It was a stupid argument if I say so myself. They were arguing over which one of them had a better stance. I quickly sorted out there argument. The three boys showed me there stance I picked the best one. After that, I gave each one of them an extra shift of kitchen duty for being idiots and wasting there time arguing instead of training.

     After hearing a few complaints and sighs which I ignored I walked away form them and towards my office where I would be watching videos of battle strategies and drawing up a training plan for my campers. Yes, Gaea was now gone, but we couldn't take a break. We are Romans. Just because we won a great war doesn't mean we stop to celebrate. We keep training until the next battle.

     I opened the door of the office and walked in. I closed the door behind me and locked it pulling the blinds down so I was emerged in darkness. I took a disc from my movie collection and popped it in the DVD pointing the projection player onto the white screen.

     I got some popcorn and laid down on the couch watching the movie by myself. By myself. Those words repeated in my mind. I was always by myself and I guess I just got used to it, it no longer bothered me.

*()*()*()*()*()*()

I woke up. The blinds were up pouring light into room. My popcorn was missing from my lap being replaced by a quilt. A pillow I didn't use. I sat bolt straight up scared. Someone has been in my office. Didn't I lock the door? Didn't people know that they would be punished severely if they went into my office without permission? Wasn't I the only one with the key to my office? How would anyone get in? Perhaps magic?

     I stood up and went over to my desk grabbing my knife for protection just incase this intruder had bad intentions. Yes, this intruder took care of me while I was sleeping... which made no sense to me what so ever.

     I heard a huge bang in the next room and turned around instantly looking at the closed door. I tightened my grip on the dagger in my hand and walked over to the door where I heard the sound. All I could think about was where the best place to stab the intruder without killing him or her. Yet, I wouldn't be surprised if I accidently went somewhere different and actual did kill them.

     I slowly turned the knob and the noise instantly stopped. I knew know that he or she noticed me so a quick attack was the best way to go. I swung the door open and flung my dagger at the intruders head. Yet... the person had a cutting board in there face and my dagger got caught in the wood.

     "Who the hell are you?!" I yelled demanding to know this person's identity. They obviously made themselves at home. Tucking me in as if I needed to be comfortable while I slept. I looked over and saw that they were making themselves a sandwich in my kitchen. I got angrier. So they broke it to make a sandwich? There were perfectly good food shops in New Rome! Why come here to make a sandwich almost getting killed doing this.

     The intruder lowered the cutting board and smirked at me. The breath in my lungs went away and my eyes widened. It couldn't me... but why would he be here... wh-what?

     "Jason" I breathed looking at him shocked and confused. "Wh-what the hell are you doing here?!"

     He put the cutting board with the dagger on the counter and picked up his sandwich and took a bite out of it. "What does it look like?" He laughed in his cocky voice. "Missed this place. Plus, you always have the best ingredients for making a sandwich. Granted you are better at making them but I didn't want to wake you."

     I rolled my eyes crossing my arms over my chest. "Jason" I said sternly. "I know you didn't come here just for stupid sandwiches."

     He sighed and put the sandwich back down on the counter stepping closer to me. He shrugged hugging himself. "Missed home" he sighed and avoided my gaze. "Missed you."

     I laughed lightly rolling my eyes again. "Oh come on Jason." I said a little bit more bitterly than I intended. "Why would you miss me? You have that Aphrodite daughter chick, Piper, to entertain you and keep you company."

     "So you didn't hear" He sighed scratching the back of his head. "Me and Piper well, we aren't exactly together anymore." He shrugged as if it was no big deal and took a cup out of the cabinet and filled it up with water as if he still lived here.

     "Oh," I said blushing a little with embarrassment. I didn't intend on bringing up something upsetting. "Sorry to hear" I said softly yet my eyes couldn't stop looking happy. To be perfectly honest. I never liked that Piper girl.

     "It's fine" He took some ice and dropped it in the cup of water. "We broke up about a month ago. She said she didn't feel as though I was truly in love with her." He shrugged again and took a sip of his drip.

     "Were you?" I found myself blurting out. I started blushing again embarrassed at my words again.

      "Was I what?" Jason asked looking at me confused. I almost smiled. I remember his stupidity before Hera took his memory away. It was actually really cute though, so I always brushed it off.

     "Were you truly in love with her?" I asked. I mean I already started up this conversation it would be stupid not to continue it.

     He avoided my gaze and looked down at his shoes. I felt bad. Perhaps, he came back because he was heart broken. Couldn't be near her anymore because he loved her so much. Or came here expecting me to fix his problems. "U-um no" he said softly stuttering a little. "I suppose no, because I couldn't really get this other girl out of my mind."

     Great, I sighed to myself, another girl under Jason's spell. Anyone would be lucky to have him. In fact. No. I stopped myself. I couldn't afford to think like that right now. I sighed tapping my foot. "And who might that me?" I asked impatiently.

      Jason looked up smiling shyly and... and blushing? Yes he was defiantly blushing. He bit his lip were his scar was and clenched my jaw trying not to smile. Whenever he bit his lip like that all I wanted to do was smile. All I wanted to do was kiss him where his scar was. "Well, well, well, I suppose I'm not the idiot one right now." He laughed nervously.

      I looked at him confused. I didn't like not knowing things. "What are you talking about Grace?" I asked again my voice sounding demanding.

     He chuckled and put the glass down on the counter. He stepped towards me and grabbed him by my waist pulling me closer to him. "You, you idiot" he whispered looking into my eyes. I found myself gapping at him my eyes widening at his words. "I've been falling in love with you" He said and softly put his lips on mine.

     The dream of kissing Jason's scar came true and I could feel him smile into the kiss as I did so. He pulled back kissing both of my cheeks and I let myself smile. "Reyna." He whispered smiling back at me. "I want you to me mine... and I want to be yours."

     "J-Jason" I whispered back looking down then back up at him. I was supposed to be a strong praetor. Yet here Jason is, and within ten minutes I'm melting in his arms like silly putty. I kissed his nose putting my arms around his neck. "Of course"

And just like that. Jason was mine.

-For all you Jeyna shippers :D and i'm still taking request ;)-
