I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS SO MUCH HONESTLY

it could still be a big event but my instinct was that something has to bring it up at some point in all the time they spend out adventuring and wandering together. jason's still lived most of his life in this greek demigod culture and i definitely think he's just casually bi himself and never really went out of his way to come out or talk about it since it's no big deal to him. he's generally aware of the fact that some people take issue with that kind of thing just from talking to other demigods that didn't spend the whole year at CHB, but it's not really an issue that's ever touched him personally.

so on some quiet night while they're just talking while going to sleep, the subject of all the luke shit come up – the current situation, his betrayal, the way jason grew up with him and how much more personal the whole mess was for him. and eventually jason mentions that he'd had a crush on luke for the longest time when he was younger before all the shit hit the fan. and nico's quiet for a long bit (long enough that jason starts to worry that maybe nico is one of those people that isn't cool with that kind of thing), until he finally lets himself ask about it. at first it's just nico grappling with his own internalized homophobia, the way he's always thought of this as just another thing that makes him weird and wrong versus the way he could never think about it so uncharitably when it's about jason. and then it's how familiar the story feels, having looked up to and loved someone so much only to be let down so hard.

Jason reached across the intervening space to smooth his hand across Nico’s temple, his fingers brushing back and tangling in Nico’s hair as they moved until his palm came to rest against the side of Nico’s head, pulling him back to look at him. “First of all, I do remember. Maybe it’s still a little foggy in places, but I remember. Especially the important parts.”

Under his hand, he felt Nico grit his teeth and swallow a lump in his throat. He pulled him gently forward until their foreheads were touching, eyes inches apart. “I am still in love with you Nico.”

PSL for Fem!Shiro

Shiro stopped dead in his tracks, gripping the strap of his bag.

In the seat - his seat, the one he’d occupied for every day of the semester so far - was currently taken.  

“Um.”

The thief - Matt Holt, son of Professor Holt, and resident class smart-ass -  looked back at him as if Shiro was the crazy one for wanting his seat back.  “Can I help you?” He drawled, brows up.

“You’re in my seat,” Shiro told him, each word careful and slow.

Matt looked over the desk carefully.  “I don’t see a name,” he replied cheerfully.  “In fact, I don’t think it’s been a problem this entire semester.  I haven’t sat in the same chair twice.”  But he took a second look at Shiro’s unhappy stare and sighed.  “Fine, I guess we’ll share.”

Before Shiro could puzzle out what that meant, Matt popped out of the seat and picked up his own bag.  He raised his brows, obviously waiting for Shiro to sit. Which he did.  Because it was his seat.

Immediately, Matt sat back down.  In Shiro’s lap.

“You missed last week’s lecture, right?” Matt commented, as though it was perfectly normal for him to be sitting in a classmate’s lap.  “You want my notes?”

Shiro wanted-

Hell, Shiro wasn’t sure what he wanted, aside from a normal start to class.

...But he did need those notes, still.

“I’d appreciate that,” Shiro replied, voice utterly calm as if this happened to him every day.

Matt beamed back and dug through his bag.  “Cool.”

This was definitely weird, but maybe this change wasn’t all bad.

(But Shiro definitely still wanted his seat)
