Save You As I Save My Life (Jasico)

Chapter 8: Uncomprehendable Feelings

Nico woke up to Jason half on top of him, snoring in his ear. He huffs, wincing away when Jason snores quite loudly.

"Jason, wake up."

"Mmm....No." He disagrees, nuzzling into Nico's neck, and then drifting back off to sleep. Nico huffs loudly again, shoving the blonde off. He whines and grabs Nico's hips, tugging him forward. Not used to being manhandled so blatantly, he gasps, and then pushes at Jason.

"Let go!" He groans, beating Jason's arm lightly.

"No, you little fucker. You spent half the night kicking me. Let me cuddle you." Jason breathes in his ear. He shivers, skin bristling.

"Jason, please."

The blonde blearily opens his eyes at Nico's pleading tone, and then sighs in defeat at the look in Nico's dark brown eyes. The look of uncomfortableness.

"I'm sorry, Nico." Jason kisses the top of his head, and then back off, rolling slightly.

"Jassy, don't turn away, just...don't kiss my neck, mh?" Nico smiles, and Jason nods, hugging himself and turning back to face Nico, not meeting his eyes.

"Look at me, come on! I didn't forbid you from looking at me."

Jason blushes harder, and hugs Nico's waist, pulling him closer again, but more tentatively this time.

"I...I..." Jason turns away and coughs, frowning. "Never mind."

Nico frowns as well, tracing over the bandage on Jason's forehead, and the stitches on his eyebrow.

"Ow. Ow!" Jason whines, and Nico smirks.

"Sorry. It's just....gods, Percy did that. I didn't know he was capable of hurting someone."

"You'd be surprised."

Nico bolts up, staring at his doorway. Percy is leaning on it, smiling in at them.

"Leo's up. He's doing something in the kitchen, he told me to wake you guys up. So, wake up." The Sea-Green eyes pass over Jason's face, and he winces when he sees the stitches.

"I love the fact you haven't said sorry yet." Nico mutters, sitting up and pressing his beck into his headboard. He crosses his arms and stares at Percy, who stares back, with a small hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Sorry 'bout what?" Percy steps into the room a little further, mocking Nico's folded arms.

"Beating up Jason. You didn't even have a good reason to! You just...did. And you sent him to the hospital. So apologize! Or I'm going to ask my mom if she can somehow get your mom down here to-"
