"God, I love the castle," Jason expresses, leaning back in the lounge chair, sunglasses resting on his nose. "The fact you don't have me here 24/7 is a hate crime."

Nico rolls his eyes, his nose shoved in a book. "Would you shut up? I'm trying to read this stupid law book that Will has assigned me."

Jason yawns. "My wife is upstairs sleeping with her girlfriend and my best friend is studying. What ever shall I do?"

"Percy is busy at the moment," Nico says.

Jason closes his mouth and frowns. "You're fucking kidding me."

"Mhm," Nico looks up at Jason over the page. The fireplace crackles. "He went to town with Leo earlier."

Jason scrunches up his nose and leans back. "With Leo, huh?"

"Jealous?"

"I'm not jealous. I don't get jealous. You know that."

"That was before you fell head over heels."

"I don't fall head over heels," Jason pointed a finger at Nico. "We both have lived on the fact that we don't believe in love for years."

"Well, I believe in love now," Nico smirks. "All it takes is one person. Besides, you never sleep with the same person twice. But you've been all over Percy."

"I slept with Connor twice."

"No, you slept with him once, and then gave him a dirty handjob under the bar when you were blackout drunk," Nico says. "And when the two of you snapped out of it, you stopped."

Jason rolls his eyes. "Just because I like the sex doesn't mean I like him."

"You sound like me before Will and I fucked," Nico raises an eyebrow. Jason sits back in his seat. "How would you feel if Percy and Leo slept together?"

Jason sighs, giving up. "Maybe I do like Percy. How did we both get stuck in forbidden relationships? Maybe God does hate us."

Suddenly, a skinny Hispanic boys walks pass the parlor. "Hi, Jason! Hi, Nico!" Leo greets as he passes by.

Jason's mouth drops and he stares at Nico. "You fucking dick."

Nico breaks out into a wild grin. "What I'd do?"

"You lied to get me to admit to my feelings!"

"Hm...that doesn't sound like something I'd do," Nico settles in his chair, putting his book over his face to hide his laugh.

"Jerk," Jason sighs. "How are you and Will then?"

"I'm studying."

"Yikes. Trouble in paradise?"

"It was never paradise to begin with," Nico inhales. "Now it's a battlefield. I wish I had chose any of the other princes to impulsively propose to. Now I'm trapped."

   "You still can," Jason shrugs.

   Nico presses his lips together, leaning in. "Octavian said he would declare war on my people."

   Jason's eyes widen. "If you pull out of the marriage?"

   Nico nods slowly.

   "That can't be legal," Jason sits up. "I-I'll kill him."

   "You can't even hurt a fly."

   "Because I've never been provoked."

   "We don't need to kill anybody. I'll figure out a way through," Nico nervously pops his fingers. Suddenly, his stomach start to ache. At first, he thinks it's because of his stress. But then it starts to churn. Nico grimaces in pain, but in an instant it's gone.
