Jason takes Leo on a date to a skating rink for a "Surprise." [AKA Fluff]
Features Jason Grace x Leo Valdez (Valgrace)
Content Warnings: Swearing, and I guess the teeniest bit of blood. [Just in case]
'JASON!' Leo practically shrieks as he trips over his own feet and into Jason's arms.
'Leo relax. I won't let you fall,' he says, righting the shorter man. Leo gives an exasperated huff, running his fingers through his hair with the hand he isn't using to death grip the blonds arm.
'I'm still lost on your train of thought. Bringing the repair boy, bad boy supreme, flame boy, to... an ice skating rink,' he says, gesturing to the large rink. Jason scoffs at him, clearly offended, though that had not been Leo's intentions.
'Wait Jay I- didn't mean to... shit,' he whispers to himself as Jason gracefully glides off, running jittery hands through his short blond hair.
With a long groan the small Latino makes an awful attempt to skate to the concrete bench just off the edge of the rink. All is going well, albeit wobbly, until a small crater in the ice catches on his skates, sending him flying into the ice with an indignant 'eep!'
As he pushes himself up he notices the small puddle of blood where his lip had connected with ragged ice. He gingerly touches it, pushing himself towards the bench, embarrassingly, still on his ass.
'Leo!' Jason yelps, skating swiftly towards him. The taller man comes to an alarmed stop on the ice, stepping off the ice and in front of Leo.
'Shit Leo I'm so sorry!' He says, making large hand gestures as he stumbles over a rumbling apology. Leo grabs his hand in his own, frowning.
'Come on Jay. It's not a big deal. Sorry I said that before, it was nice that you were thinking of me. Next time don't rent shit like this out, we hardly had money for your new sword,' he says quietly, patting the older mans hand. Jason takes a shaky breath, nodding hesitantly.
'You cut your lip,' he observes, gaining a sarcastic glare from the other.
'Nothing gets past you. Just felt like getting a taste of the ice!' He jokes, grinning widely which slowly devolves into grimace as he gently touches the cut.
'I'm going to get a napkin and some cocoa. Want some?' He asks, standing up. He shrugs, stepping back onto the ice.
'Sure. Don't break your face more please,' Jason adds as he skates off. Leo scoffs at him and walks away, obtaining a napkin, two small cups of hot chocolate, and significantly less tight skates.
Carefully he steps onto the ice, immediately noticing how much easier it is to move around. While still wobbly, he manages to make it over to a spinning Jason.
'That was less... face destroying,' he says, stuffing his hands in his pocket.
'Jason one more word about this fall and you will not get your cocoa,' he scowls playfully, holding the cup above his head 'out' of Jason's reach. Jason smiles slightly, grabbing the cup and pressing a quick kiss to the other mans forehead.
'Are you cold? You look cold,' Jason says suddenly, worrying at his little boyfriend.
'Considering I probably have fire in my veins and I'm wearing two of your hoodies? A little,' he frowns, spinning the cup in his hands.
'We... we could leave,' Jason says sadly, staring at his knees.
'Ha. No. You paid to much money for us to just not have a great time. Now come on,' he replied, standing up and offering a small hand to the other, who took it and immediately pulling him around.
The pair skate about for a good 10 minutes before Jason spins Leo dramatically. Said brunette lets out a loud giggle as he came to a slow stop, his world spinning. As he looked down he was startled to find Jason kneeling on one knee, holding a small wooden box.
'Leo Valdez,' he announces loudly, earning a collective gasp from the bathrooms, though Leo doesn't turn to see who it is.
'After 8 years of dating you, I finally ask the long awaited question. Will you make me the happiest demi-god on earTHA-' he yelps as Leo throws himself down on top of Jason, sobbing loudly.
'Le-'
'Obviously idiot!' He hiccups, burying his face into the crook of Jason's neck and yelling obscenities at Jason for being so easy to love.
Jason looks up at his friends for help, earning an apologetic whistle from Nico.
'Yeah you might be stuck there for a second,' he says with a quiet laugh. Next to him Will flicks him, scowling playfully.
'Reyna?' He asks, trying to pry Leo off to no avail.
'You are on your own Jay,' she tells him, pulling on her old pair of purple skates.
Hazel and Frank stare at him, Hazel giggling quietly while Frank turns to speak with Will.
At some point Percy skates over, carefully prying a still sobbing Leo from Jason's freezing body.
'Let me go! I have to yell at my future husband!' Leo sniffles, wriggling out of Percy's grip and into a now standing Jason's arms.
'You can't do that to me Jason! You are in for so many shitty jokes on the way home,' he informs him, hugging him back tightly.
'It'll be worth it frankly. Getting to be married to you? A night of jokes is worth it.'
'And what makes you think you're not signing up to deal with them until we die?' Leo asks in reply, grinning back up at Jason.
'Damn Grace. He's got ya there,' Percy replied, grabbing Annabeth's hand. The group skates around for the next bit, talking of wedding plans and other such things as they skate. Apollo is long gone behind the horizon and Nyx has dawned on the sky by the time everyone leaves to there cars to go home.
