Your gateway to endless inspiration
It's the last day of Jasleico week, and it's time to talk about love languages.
I think Jason's is physical touch, imagine little Thalia holding her baby brother, and sleeping together because Jason won't calm unless he's hugged.
When Lupa takes him, he sleeps surrounded by wolves, and they lick him and the pups of the pack play with him, and, sometimes, Juno appears to change his clothes and talk to him, and feed him with human food.
He loves cuddles, and Leo is more willing to give it than Nico, they put together two beds in Zeus Cabin, and the hug all night, Jason kisses him when they woke up, takes him by hand to the showers and the dining pavilion; in New Rome, Jason owns a place, and the mattress is king-size, they cuddle in the sofa, and kiss a lot, Nico comes along too, but the boy is shy, he's blushing and rambling, but at the end he let it go and enjoys.
Nico always starting the contact with Jason, they're walking and Nico holds his hand, after the campfire Nico hugs him and kiss his cheek, he would go to the Zeus Cabin, or drag Leo and Jason to Hades' and sleep, he holds Jason's hand, while Leo is over the blond boy, and, if he had a really bad nightmare, he will hug Jason really tight, Jason always smiles when Nico do this, never pushing him to go farther.
Leo's language could be words of affirmation, the boy needs to hear he's valuable and loved.
Jason has a lot of compliments for him, followed by physical touch, he would say something about Leo's project and kiss his forehead, nose, neck or lips, when they cuddle Jason would kiss all Leo, giving compliments "I love your back dimples, this mole is lovely, your skin is soft, you are warming." And etcetera.
Nico will go to Leo's workplace, sit at his side, look at his work and say something "The metal butterfly you build are beautiful, you're a genius, nobody thought that solution." If Leo creates something for Nico, he will go to Leo and talk about its usefulness, and compliments the design, he is quieter than Jason, but Leo loves the two boys.
Nico's language is acts of service.
He's a little careless of himself, Leo and Jason take turns to look after him, making him eat and have a good sleep schedule.
Jason will clean the Hades Cabin when Nico is on Hades' missions; in the apartment they share, they have a chore schedule, but, if Nico is too tired, Jason will help.
Leo will build things, to help with the housework, when Nico says his powers drown him too much, Leo designs mobile aids, canes that transform in weapons, it could shrink and one spend candies.
They take Nico on dates, the search for antique shops, especially the ones with the '40s antiques.
They just love each other, and love in their own unique way.
When Jason woke up on a school bus, not memories, a handsome boy playing with his hair saying he was his boyfriend, a pretty girl looking at the window, declaring herself as his best friend.
Then things got weird, their schoolmate was a cloud, trying to kill them, the coach was a satyr, he could fly.
When the angry blonde girl carried them in a chariot, he was lost, Piper and Leo were looking at him, the boy holding his hand, warm.
Then Jun… no Hera, sending them on a mission, Leo over a mechanic dragon, looking really hot, they traveling to save the goddess.
And now, mid-January, Leo and him were sitting near Hestia's fire, having a date, Jason playing with the fog, making figures, Leo jiggling.
Focus on each other, they didn't notice the shadows blooming in front of them, a boy stepping out, falling on his knees, wheezing, rolling to his side.
"Are you okay, kid?"
The boy growled, raising his head, an angel face looking at them, raven hair, pale skin, big and dark eyes, full rosy lips.
"I'm not a kid." Said the boy, with an adorable Italian accent.
Raising on his feet, the boy kept sending bad looks at them.
"I'm sorry, " said Jason "I'm…"
"I know you're the roman boy, and the both of you saved Hera."
His tone was bitter like he didn't like Hera.
"If you talk that angry about a goddess things won't go well."
"She didn't care about me being sealed to the Titan army."
"She tried to kill me when I was a toddler, we're on the same boat." Leo winked, patting the bench at his side "Come her, least talk about annoying gods."
"I'm Nico, by the way"
Superhero! Au, the lost trio is a team.
Jason, Piper, and Leo have powers, they were trained by the Gaia, a group who searches for kids with powers to train them and cause chaos.
They are the youngest, kidnapped when they had two years, the Olympians save them when they have sixteen, Hylla adopt the trio, and they share a lot of time with Reyna, Thalia is part of the Olympians, but she is a Hunter, and she cannot take care of Jason.
Fast forward, Reyna wants to study in college, the trio wants to follow her, they go.
Nico is the neighbor, Reyna's best friend, and he is nice to them, he is kind and they love him.
But Gaia is still around, and start to destroy places and cause chaos, the trio decides to be superheroes.
Leo, a technopath, is Tech, Piper is a telepath and can order you things, she's Whisper, Jason controls the weather, he's Thunderman.
After an impressive fight, all the people in the city know about the new heroes.
A week after, Nico is walking home, and a burglar threatens him, Thunderman appears and saves him.
Nico, a big nerd, comic fan, runs to the trio place and is nuts, Piper and Leo are like "Cool" but Jason is blushing because Nico is exaggerating, he didn't appear in a cloud of thunder, his voice didn't shake the windows.
And Nico is a magnet for trouble, in less than twelve hours he is held hostage of a bunch of people trying to steal something in the museum.
Jason is like "I saved you last night" and Nico is vibing because the superhero remembers his face.
And this happens a lot, Nico is in a cafe, this place is going to explode, Nico is having fun in a park, a big battle with the bad guys, and the trio saves him.
Two or three months after the first meeting with the heroes, Nico is taking a bus, the bridge they are passing is going to fall, Nico's ankle is twisted, Jason takes him, bride style, and they are flying away.
"You know, the next time met we can have a coffee, and avoid mortal danger."
Jason is in shock, this boy is asking him on a date?
Because the trio loves him, he's caring, and take them out, knowing their interests, and maybe Leo and Jason are a little bit in the romantic territory.
Nico takes Leo to natural places, they go to zoos, parks, hiking with Reyna, and Leo loves to be away from electronics, his mind is at peace, and Nico taking his hand while they are walking, stopping to take photos, looking so pretty at the sunlight, Leo is living just to be the weekend and go out.
And Jason loves to learn, they go to libraries and bookstores, natural and history museums, or they just walk in the city to discover new places, Jason is head over heels for this boy, smiling every time Nico is talking, paying attention to every word.
To be honest, Piper loves him too, but more platonic, she loves art, and Nico knows it, they go to art museums, galleries, concerts, the cinema, they got lost in the subway and the streets to see musicians and people performing, and go to a lot of restaurants, they know the best places to eat.
So, when Jason talk to his friends about Nico's date, Leo is a little jealous, and he searches for the boy and ask him out as Tech.
And Nico can't say no.
But the boys asking him out as civilians too.
"Reyna, four hot boys are hitting on me, How can I choose, I have to choose?"
Piper is living it up, her friends are a gay mess and she loves the drama, Reyna wants to tell the truth, but she is enjoying it.
Nico finds out his neighbors are the superheroes, he's mad because he fell they were playing with him, asking him with both identities.
Leo and Jason are feeling super bad, the hurt Nico, and he isn't talking to them, but they manage to win his forgiveness.
Long story short, the overcome the bad guys, Nico is dating both of them, Piper and Reyna are dating too, everyone is happy, the end.
After being in the Tartarus, Nico was really anxious, when he was alone he yearned for human connection.
In the day was easy, the Mediterranean sun heating his skin, the bright blue sky, holding Hazel's hand, in the night, it was hard, they weren't enough rooms, and he can't go to Percy nor Annabeth's, the little room they gave him was small, triggering the memories of the jar in Rome.
Because of that, he was, most of the nights, in the mast, the sea smell calming him, so different from the toxic Tartarus air.
In the nights, he and Leo started to converse, it was easy, and the boy's voice calmed him, he knew when Nico wants to listen and when to talk.
After Eros, Jason tag along too, and the three of them enjoyed the company of each other.
When Leo died, Jason and Nico became closer, sharing activities in Camp Half-Blood, talking about temples, gods, and aesthetics.
They searched together for Leo, and, when Jason took the decision to study in Pasadena, Nico almost enters the school too.
Later, when Leo, Calypso, and Apollo departed, a bad feeling burned in the chest of Nico, Will, worried, advise to follow his guts, but Nico can't, not knowing what was going to happen.
But he dreamed, the night Caligula killed Jason, he woke up, sweaty and teary, shocked.
He felt the death of Leo, but, thanks to the physician cure, he didn't see his soul been judged in the underworld, the absence of his life like a hole on his chest.
Maybe, he thought, when his father spoke about unavoidable deaths, he was talking about Octavian and Leo, but, perhaps the Fates decided someone of the seven had to die, the storm or the fire, and, by the trick of Leo, he had doomed Jason.
The son of Hephaestus went back to Camp Half-Blood, tired, his eyes gloomy, destroyed, as he had the same realization that Nico, he caused Jason's death.
Nico hugged him, whispering sweet words to the boy, talking about Elysium, and the promise to talk to Jason's ghost, at least to say goodbye.
Nico was running, holding Jason's hands, dragging the boy, hiding behind a trash can, in a dead-end.
"Leo's coming," muttered Nico, rising the shirt of Jason "We'll go to my father's castle and kill your soul if you dare to die."
"You're pretty when you're worried."
Nico sighed, pouring nectar on the wound, bloody and green, thanks to the venom of the dracaena.
"I love you, and you don't have to say it back."
The son of Hades froze, it was the first time Jason tell him that words and his heart ached because of the situation.
"Don't you dare think I would let you die."
Filling the mouth of Jason with ambrosia, Nico touched the boy's face, praying to Hermes, asking for a fast and safe trip to Camp Half-Blood.
"You know, I love you too, and your death won't make you leave this relationship."
"The son of Hades, in a romance with a ghost."
"Shut up and eat your ambrosia."
Seeing the wound, it looked less green and smaller, but they needed to be in the infirmary, soon.
"Superman got near kryptonite?"
"I love you, Leo."
Valdez was over Festus, smiling at Nico, looking gorgeous, with the sun behind him, his hair, curly and loose all over his face, tanned, the trickster smile.
"Nico said he loves me and would date even as a ghost."
"Don't make plans without me, I want a ghost boyfriend too."
"Nobody is going to die soon," growled Nico, helping Jason to climb the dragon.
When Leo held the hand of Nico, the young boy blushed, tighten the grip on the hands.
"I love you too, for the record."
"Leo," interrupted Jason "your hair is on fire."
"You're alone," said his step-mother, a wicked smile on her lips.
"They will come." But Nico wasn't sure.
He walked in, Hazel was in the living room, reading a book, Frank was at his side, sitting straight, in a different chair than Hazel, too nervous.
"Leo and Jason?"
"They will come."
Hazel sighed, patting at his side, where Nico sat, burying his fingers on his tights.
Being in a polyamory relationship was hard, especially when his family mocked him about that, even Hazel, sweet and caring, looked at him weirdly.
"Nico, dad is expecting you, he's in his office."
Bianca was standing, avoiding his eyes, walking away when Nico passed at her side, his heart still aching.
"None of your boys came."
"They're late, Leo is working, soon he will get a patent, the youngest boy getting one."
Nico's voice was angry, the teasing in his father's tone infuriating him, the words dripping venom.
"And Jason, his father still spoiling him? at least Valdez has his own money"
"The scholarship of Jason isn't a gift"
Mr. di Angelo waved, standing from his desk, walking to the dining room, where the rest of the family was waiting.
Thanks to god, only his sisters, father, and step-mother were there, but he was expecting Jason and Leo, the family wouldn't be so mean in their presence.
He could fake an emergency, though, Leo burning something, Jason injured, an imaginary pet dying.
While he considered causing an accident, the doorbell rang, the heart of Nico pumping, he almost ran to open the door, Leo and Jason on the door.
"Sorry, babe, Superman got stuck at the laundry."
Nico hugged Leo, breathing deeply, kissing his jaw, barely crying, feeling safe with his boys.
"Hi, Neeks, I'm really sorry."
Jason was holding a bouquet, a shy smile, bitting the little scar on his face, reaching Nico's hand, interweaving their fingers, kissing them.
"At least you're here."
Jason looked at Leo, his boyfriend was laying on the bed, a white towel around his hips, his hair drooping water, limbs extended on the mattress.
"Leo, you are drenching the bed."
"Shut up, corazón."
"Dress, the date is tonight."
"The boy is head over heels for you, and I'm charming enough to make him fall for me."
Jason sighed, seeing Leo putting his clothes, not too elegant, but not casual; the blond boy combed his hair, judging the image in the mirror.
He had been the boyfriend of Leo for years, since high school, and he loves him, with all his heart, but he felt in love with other people, Leo too, and now, they were enamored of the same boy.
Nico di Angelo was fascinating, handsome, dark hair, sweet brown eyes, light skin and freckles, soft lips, both, Leo and Jason, dying for kissing it, he was a sweet boy, silent but joyful, kind, smartass, creative and mysterious.
Jason felt hard for him, the first time he saw him, helping a stray kitten during a storm, talking sweetly, running with the cat to a dry place.
Leo started to see Nico with rose-tinted glasses slowly, when Jason began to hang out with the Italian boy, at first he was distant, but the time passed and he met the real di Angelo, sweet and thoughtful.
Now they get a date, both of them, the same night.
"Do you think Nuco really likes me?"
Leo was stretching his t-shirt, his hands moving all around his body, curling his hair, tapping his tights, chewing the lower lip, jumping on his toes, anxious.
"He always sees you with heart in the eyes and loves to listen to you."
Kissing his cheek, Jason went off the room, grabbing their jackets, smiling at the choice of Leo.
"Go big or go home?"
"Nico said I look good on the jacket."
"You look good on everything."
Holding hands, they walked to Nico's house, smiling uncomfortably at Hazel.
"Your boyfriends are here." The girl shouted, sending a wink to the boys.
"Shut up Hazel," Nico walked outside, his cheeks blushing "Or I won't cover you the next time you sneak out."
The door closed hard, Nico was seeing the pavement, his hands behind his back.
"Hi," muttered, "Sorry for Hazel, I know we're not in a relation…"
"Yet" interrupt Leo "We're not official yet"
Jason extended his hand, smiling when Nico hold it, the young boy holding Leo's with his other hand, the three of them walking, sharing about their day.
Shortly they were in a restaurant, Italy's flags hanging off the ceiling, pictures of Venetia in the walls.
"This is an Italian restaurant?"
"A Venetian," corrected Leo "good food, nice music, charming people, and the talk Venetian."
The smile of Nico made the boys happy, Leo winking at Jason.
"Told you, he loves it."
"Thanks."
Promptly they ordered, Nico talked about Venice, describing his favorite places, sharing stories about his life, his voice full of nostalgia.
"Sorry," mumbled Nico, when they were walking to his home "I talked a lot."
"I love it when you talk about the things you like," said Jason, a soft smile on his lips.
"You don't have to say sorry." added Leo "If you're happy talking about your hometown, we're happy listening."
Blushing, Nico pulled Leo, holding the boy's face, kissing him fast and soft, hugging him, hiding his head on the crock of the neck, giggling.
"Jay Jay is jealous," muttered Leo on Nico's ear, kissing his cheek.
Nico turned, hugging Jason by the hips, letting the blond kiss his lips, a sweet pressure, the hands stroking the hair of Nico.
"We like you, a lot."
Leo hugged the hips of Nico, kissing the scruff, Jason was leaving butterfly kisses on his face.
"Me too."
