Work Text:

"did you know octavian had swore on his life to keep me safe?"

there was a moment of silence passed between them. jason recognized that reyna's jaw was clenched and that she kept her eyes focused on a point on the horizon rather than their direction as the two of them sat on half-blood hill.

"yes. i was aware of it for two years." reyna responded, tone neutral. "he said that he swore it when we were thirteen."

the two of them kept this from jason. after damian cosmin, the deceitful son of apollo, it was an unspoken rule between them and their two best friends to never keep secrets from each other. and yet... reyna and octavian kept this secret. jason was kept in the dark about something. again.

the pit of ugly feelings in jason's stomach felt like they were fighting their way up their throat. jason bit their lip to keep themself from saying anything.

"he said to keep it a secret from you."

"why would he do that? we're demigods. we aren't going to live for long anyhow." jason muttered. "a promise like that was nonsensical."

"well, he made good on his promise," reyna said, tentatively. "and... i thought that i could continue on his promise. if i joined the hunters, then there would less monsters that could try to kill you."

"i can handle myself." jason said with conviction, standing up. "i don't need people to risk getting themselves hurt because of me. let me handle my problems instead of trying to solve for me."

"i'm aware." reyna replied, standing up as well. "but you mean a lot to me and everyone else. we've already lost octavian, i'm not losing you too."

"i'm not made of sugar and i am not as fragile as a flower." jason snapped. "i am more than capable of defending myself. i don't need to be protected."

"jason..." reyna whispered.

"i'm leaving. don't follow me." jason stated, a sharp edge to their tone. they turned and trekked down half-blood hill, into camp half-blood.

reyna gazed at their retreating back before sighing and trekking to camp half-blood to meet up with the rest of the hunters of artemis.

Notes:

this idea came to me randomly and i have no clue what universe this is in 😀

just know that reyna is still a hunter of artemis, octavian is still dead, and jason is not dead in this fic.

hope you enjoyed! maybe you can try figuring out what universe this is in. 😀
