Finding Love (Jasico, Nico x Jason)

Prologue

I screamed as I fell further and further into the pit. I tried to will the shadows to take me in, let me become one of them, but they would not allow it.

"How dare you?" I croaked. "I am one of you! I am the Ghost King!"

Right before I hit the ground, strong arms wrapped around my waist. I stopped inches in front of the ground and stared upwards. Jason smiled down at me and winked. His blue eyes mischievously sparkled.

"Did you seriously think that I would let you fall to your death?" He chuckled and leaned towards me. "I promise to never let you down."

Jason lightly brushed his lips against mine. His lips were soft and warm, but also commanding and serious. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He smiled against my lips and pulled away. I slightly pouted and tried to pull him closer, but he didn't budge an inch. His form became smoky and he disappeared into nothing.

The shadows that I had trusted started to laugh at me. They taunted me, saying that he doesn't love you. I dropped the last few inches and curled up into a ball.

Some ghosts warily approached me, but one glare sent them all scurrying. A few shook their heads knowingly. Loving a boy was hard; being a boy and loving another boy was harder. The shadows pointed at me, laughing and cackling.

Why would they betray me? I trusted them wholeheartedly.
