AN: New Jasico. Super cute, sad, the works. Please review!

"And Reyna said everyone's invited! Except Leo. For the first part at least," Nico said with a shrug. "They have this ice sculpture in honor of some minor goddess and they don't have time for… That…"

Jason chuckled. "Yeah, it sounds like fun!" he stepped over a rock. "Did you get to talk much with Reyna?"

Nico nodded. "Yeah. Apparently, Frank doesn't want to be a 'lazy praetor', so he's doing almost all the work."

Jason laughed. "Oh Frank…" he sighed, shaking his head. "Uh… Hey Nico?"

Nico furrowed his brow. "Yeah?"

Jason stopped walking and fiddled with the hem of his shirt. "Will and I were talking and…" he sighed. "He… He wanted me to tell you that he has a crush on you. He has for a while."

Nico's face lit up with understanding. "Oh…" he turned.

Jason shifted his weight. "Sooo… Do you, like… You know…?"

Nico sighed, shaking his head. "No… I… I have a crush on someone else…"

Jason frowned. "Who?"

Nico rolled his eyes, sighing. "He… I… He's someone I spend a lot of time with…"

Jason made a face. "Well… It's not Percy… Right?"

Nico huffed. "No."

Jason tiled his head to the side. "Then… Who?" he scratched his head. "…Leo?"

Nico gaped. "No!"

Jason shrugged. "I'm just throwing out guesses! Maybe—"

"Gods, Jason, you're so stupid!" Nico shouted. Nico set his jaw as tears filled his brown eyes. He turned on his heel and darted away, fading into the shadows.
