~Jason P.O.V~
July 7, Leo's Birthday
Jason's heartbeat was stressing from the adrenaline. He was worried Leo would come in and check on him before he had any capability to surprise his boyfriend. His hands shook but kept pacing himself. Though, he had to bring Piper along due to his extreme indecision problems. [He remembered her charmspeaking him just to pick a damn balloon.]
When, Piper put down sixty orders of Taco Bell on the table and Jason finally hooked up Leo's playlist, Leo swung open the door without a knock (I see why he was so worried).
"SURPRISE!" Piper and Jason chorused
"Thanks, guys?" Leo scrunched up his face "What's the occasion?"
Piper and Jason turned to each other, dumbfounded. Leo Valdez did not remembered his own birthday! What were they gonna say to answer the obvious question of theirs? Then their faces went back to him, unknowing what to say.
"Wait... is Taco Tuesday?" Leo asked excited (Smh)
"You don't remember?" Jason sounded disappointed
"What?" Leo asked innocently
"It's your birthday..." Piper said obviously
"So?" Leo asked dumbly
"We're gonna celebrate your birthday because I just spent all this fucking money on your dumbass!" Piper scolded
Piper waved in arms in the air in exhaustion and took a seat. She was reorganizing her thoughts with this new information. She looked like this whenever she was creating a scheme of harassment. Leo looked terrified, but Jason put a gentle hand on her shoulder.
"I'm gonna talk in private with Leo. Ok?" Jason asked
"Ok. Where's my Octavian photo???" Piper pulled out the photo from a cupboard
"Here it is." a smile brightened up her face
[Recently, Piper had visited Reyna. Reyna ordered to put up a museum for Octavian, not because she thought him as heroic. But due to the fact, people are more motivated to stab the motherfucker's face. She has contests who can stab him the hardest each month, even Leo would come. {Tho usually it's Dakota, our high kool aid addict, who wins with Leo and Hazel come in close second. Leo remarks he cheats EvErY TiMe because he wanted a whole week of Internet access. (Who doesn't?)}
Reyna and Piper found it very, very relaxing. Leo and Jason likes the idea because she's less likely murder either of them. Though her keen eye and excellent swordplay scares them because when she actually decides to kill. There's no escape...]
Jason and Leo walked out and sat on the porch steps. Leo puts his beautiful caramel hands against his face.
"I fucked everything up. Didn't I?" Leo stated
"You kinda did. Piper spent 60 dollars for a taco feast for you..." Jason admitted honestly
Leo put his arms on lap now. "It's just... well... I haven't had a birthday party since..."
"Since when...?"
He bit his lip. "My mami died..."
His words came like arrows to the heart. Jason never knew this and genuinely ashamed of how he had handled the situation...
Leo's tears fell with wiping with his little wrench handkerchief he always had. "This was from her... I remember her saying 'Mijo, I'm sorry. I don't have money to buy a Legos for you'." Leo rubbed his nose. "Being a little kid, I couldn't understand why she gave me this dumb wrench handkerchief. If I could go back... I'd hug her and thank her for everything. But I can't... I regret it...and no birthday was as ever joyful without her."
Leo's tears rushed from his eyes. Jason's heart broke at the tale. He remained speechless but pulled Leo into a hug. His hands running against his curly hair while rocking him. "It'll be alright... you have me now."
"I'm sorry... I just never found a way to deal with it." Leo shamed himself
"Don't worry about it." Jason kissing head "I should shame myself. I didn't know."
He and Leo stood up, drying his tears. "I love you, Grace."
He smirked "I know..."
"HEY!" He kicked "I am Han Solo in this relationship. Not you!"
Then he walked in with incredible swagger. Piper had "forgiven" him and dug into the tacos.
I love him like there's no tomorrow... Jason thought
