Heroes of Olympus One Shots and Imagines.

"Come back to me." "Always."

Disclaimer: I do not own the Heroes of Olympus series.
Pairing: Jason X Reyna

Reyna's POV
I watched as Percy and a Greek girl kissed, my insides feeling torn apart...again.
Of course I tried feeling happy for them, reunited after six months, but...
Then I saw him. His blue eyes sparkling as they took in their former home, hair glittering against the sun, and a faint line of a scar cutting across healthy, full lips. My former colleague, my former, fellow Praetor, my...love . Jason Grace was back.

I could feel his electric blue eyes dancing across my face. Every place he looked, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck there. Did he remember me?
"Rey," Jason murmured. I startled, almost dropping my utensils. How long had it been since he'd called me that? It's felt like forever, even though it was six months in reality. I hated how he had this affect on me. On every girl, probably. Especially the girl with kaleidoscope eyes, a daughter of Venus, if I had to guess.
'Enough, Reyna,' I scolded myself silently. 'The daughter of Venus is probably with him. Of course she would be. Remember, composure and honor. Remember...'
"Jason Grace," I inhaled before looking at him, forcing a tight smile.
"No, Rey," he searched my eyes carefully. Something else broke inside of me. No, he was the only person who was never guarded or careful around me. That's why I loved him... why was he being careful around me? "Say it the way you, and only you, can say it."
My heart clenched in my chest. His choice of words made my face turn beet red. I turned away from him for a moment, disguising my face.
"Okay, Jace," I exhale slowly, managing to control my breathing. "Happy now?"
I turned my face back to him just to see it light up. "Rey, you remembered!"
"Jace," I chuckled quietly, "I'm not the one who had his memories wiped by Juno."
"Hera, you mean," Jason kept studying my face, not that I minded it. I stiffened at the name of the Greek goddess. No, he was the son of New Rome, born of Jupiter. Not Zeus.
'Jace,' I pleaded inside. 'Return to us. Please. I beg of you.'
Jason noticed the sudden stiffness in my spine and shoulders. Of course he did. Six months can't erase our numerous years together...right?
Jason cleared his throat, and the whole table instantly gave their attention to him. I resisted the urge to smile, that was our leader. Our old Jason. My Jace.
"May I be excused for a minute?" Jason looked at everyone, asking for their consent, always the perfect gentleman. Everyone...but me. Finally, he turned his gaze on me. "And Rey... I mean, Reyna. Reyna, would you do me the honor of walking with me?" He extended his hand to me and I took it without hesitation.
Everyone noticed this and looked at the daughter of Venus. She watched carefully, her kaleidoscope eyes taking in Jason's slip up and his extended hand. After a long moment, she sighed deeply and turned back to her food. The girl who could pass as an Amazon, Percy's Annabeth, shot her a sympathetic glance and I instantly felt guilty. But it's not like Jason had any feelings for me, although I still harbored the burden of his unrequited love.
He offered his arm and I slipped mine through his, intertwining them. The legions noticed this and erupted in cheers. I laughed loudly for the first time in six months.
"I missed that sound," Jason said, his mouth near my ear.
"No!" Octavian shouted at us. "No! Reyna, he's a traitor! Reyna, don't go with him."
"Octavian," I glared at him. "I am your praetor. You will believe that I have the best in mind for Camp Jupiter." Octavian instantly looked down at his food.
"Go, Rey," Jason shot me a heartbreaking smile and led me to my favorite place : Bacchus's Garden.
"Jace," I shook my head in disbelief and sat on the rim of a fountain. "You...remembered."
"Of course I did," Jason's eyes sparkled with happiness and anticipation.
I shook my head to clear it of any fantasies with Jason and me. "I'm sorry," I cleared my throat. "I keep forgetting you've moved on in the six months we've been apart."
"How so?" Jason's eyebrows drew together. "Do you have a significant other?"
"No," I shook my head, trying to mask my tears. "But you do."
"I don't~oh, Piper," Jason's eyes widened in realization. "This might sound crazy, but it's true." I steeled myself for the pain of rejection again.
"So," Jason continued. "Hera wiped our memories. She made Piper think we were a couple, and sometimes Piper can convince me we are with her charmspeak that we are, but most of the time I don't believe it. Because Hera tried to erase something, but she failed : you. You were always there in my mind. My colleague, my former, fellow Praetor, my love."
He watched me shyly and I enveloped him in a hug immediately. Jason accepted, but pulled away a second later only to pull me into kiss.
I smiled into it ; maybe I would actually have a happy ending.
BOOM.
I pulled away immediately, but Jason was reluctant to, making me smile for a moment before I was back to reality.
"Grace, you better explain yourself."
"Oh, Leo," Jason face palmed and took my hand, running back to camp. "Reyna." Jason looked at me squarely in the face before we had to part ways : him, to the Greeks, and me, to the Roman legions.
"Yes?" My tone was controlled and measured, perfect for a Praetor.
"Come back to me, Rey."
"Always, Grace."
