Summary
“Okay.” Jason repeated a little louder. “You ever feel like, there’s a certain thing, a certain person that everyone just expects to see when they look at you, so you try and you really want to live up to it, but it never fits right, and you’re just constantly terrified of people finding out you’re not the way you’re supposed to be?”
Nico barked out a humourless laugh, and Jason jumped a little. “Yeah. Yeah, I uh—” The son of Hades closed his eyes for a moment, flexing his fingers. “I know the feeling.”
Jason was surprised at the weight in his voice, the raw pain drenching every word. Every demigod he knew had had a rough life—it was practically compulsory—but whatever Nico had been through. . . Gods. They really didn’t know each other very well.-----
A re-write of chapter 36 of The House of Hades, Jason and Nico's confrontation with Cupid. In which Nico isn't the only one who has some stuff to unpack, Jason gets some character depth, and they both learn a thing or two about communication and trust. Cupid is still a dick.
