(Ok, before I forget, this story was made during my math class on 12.22.20 continue reading!
Around 1000 words!)

(Warning, I forgot a lot, so there's a lot of parentheses/brackets to tell you that.)

Reyna

Reyna opened her eyes when she heard Jason yell her name, and gasped when he wrapped his arms around her, making them stop a few metres above the sea. "Jason?" 

He laughed and slowly ascended, heading towards Scipio. He joked,"That's me, at your service RARA."

 Reyna frowned and punched his arm, "Not funny Grace." Scipio flew down and hovered below them, waiting for them to get on. "I'm up front this time, you flew us into a cloud Jason." Slowly lowering Reyna onto Scipio, Jason shrugged.

"But then Scipio dropped us and dried you off!" He said, sitting behind Reyna and wrapping his arms around her waist. 

Reyna huffed, "Very funny Jason. Let's go Scipio! Back to the legion." After that, Jason didn't say a word, instead blowing clouds of of their way. Reyna was glad, she was having a hard enough time before trying to push Jason away, but now that he had saved her life and had his arms around her? Reyna was sure she would never get over Jason then. Despite the visit with Venus only having been less than an hour ago, Reyna felt like it was weeks before, nearly dying and pushing away Jason had sapped her energy, and she slowly began to nod off, the comforting sound of Scipio's wings whistling in the wind, with Jason's arms wrapped around her. 

Jason

Once he had noticed that Reyna fell asleep, Jason propped her up, her head resting against Scipio's mane. "Sleep tight." He murmered, before turning back to the sky and using one hand to control the wind, moving clouds and birds away, his other hand wrapped tight around Reyna, making sure she didn't fall. 


It took far too long to reach the legion, but once they arrived, Jason was exhausted. Controlling the winds as well as making sure Reyna didn't fall sapped his strength, and Jason wanted nothing more than to take a nice long bath before crumpling into bed. It was night by the time they got to legion, but there were still guards. Once they saw Scipio though, they were allowed to fly through and land into the stables. "Reyna," Jason whispered, "Wake up, we're at the legion." Reyna shot up and immediately glanced around at their surroundings.

Reyna

Looking around at the dimly lit stables, Reyna's eyes focused on Scipio, who was happily munching on some hay (I think that's what he eats?) satisfied with her pegasus' care, she turned to Jason. He looked ready to drop, Reyna couldn't believe she'd fallen asleep and let Jason take care of everything. "Jason, are you okay?"

He gave a weary smiled and said "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine-" His sentence was cut off by a yawn, which he quickly tried to hide. Reyna's heart felt like it was breaking again, Jason was so cute and adorable, he had rather be exhausted than wake up Reyna, but Reyna couldn't love him, according to Venus.

"Go sleep Jason, we'll deal with (I'm sorry, I forgot where they went and why they went there) *insert why they went there here* in the morning, you look ready to sleep in here with Scipio!" Reyna exclaimed, gesturing to the brown pegasus sleeping a few feet away.

"You're coming too Reyna, sleeping on a pegasus can't be that comfortable." Jason took Reyna's hand and pulled her toward the Praetor's apartments. (I think that's what they're called? I'm sorry there's a lot I don't remember) Reyna's heart was screaming, Jason Grace, her crush, was holding her hand and taking her toward the Praetor's apartments. Halfway there, Jason stumbled, and immediately feeling guilty, Reyna remembered how much energy controlling the winds took. Saving Reyna and helping Scipio fly better by blowing birds and clouds out of his way, blowing air under his wings, Jason must've been drained.

"You stultus! (idiot) Why did you have to blow the stupid clouds out of the way! Scipio could've managed." Dragging Jason to the Praetor's apartments, Reyna was surprised that Jason even managed to last this long without passing out, the journey back must've taken at least three hours.

"It was, like, three hours Reyna, I got bored." Jason mumbled with a yawn, dragging his feet on the stone pavement. Reyna groaned, why were boys so idiotic!

"I'm surprised you haven't passed out yet, but now, when we're a hundred yards away from your apartment, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO PASS OUT JASON GRACE" Just as she yelled at him, Jason gave a half-yawn before slumping to the ground, dragging Reyna with him. Groaning, Reyna shook him, trying to wake Jason up. Unfortunately, he was out cold, his eyes didn't even flutter, he barely made a sound when Reyna hit him. "JASON GRACE YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!" Reyna was in the legion, she'd be trained to carry heavy loads, to lift up a wounded legionnaire and help them get to safety, but this was different. Even wounded, any legionnaire would still try and get up and help get themselves to safety, even if they had to drag themselves on the floor. Jason, on the other hand, was out cold, he wasn't going to be getting up anytime soon.

Mumbling Latin curse words, Reyna dragged Jason to his apartment, and crumpled down next to him, glancing at the white building fifty yards away. "Why does this stupid boy have to be so stupidly dramatically cute and heavy." Squinting at Jason through the dimly lit path, Reyna could see that his clothes were covered in brown fur, dirt, and soaked in sweat. Looking at his ridiculously cute face, Reyna traced the scar on his lip as she wondered when she had gotten so sappy. She was supposed to Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano, Daughter of Roman War Goddess Bellona, Praetor of the Twelfth Legion, strong and unyielding. She wasn't supposed to be getting all sappy over some dumb boy. Yet here she was, tracing this dumb boy's scar, wanting to kiss him.
