    Jase was out deep in the woods, far beyond where he expected anyone to find him, in a clearing. The son of Aphrodite had to do this sometimes to blow off steam. To put it kindle, Jase was a short fuse, and sometimes he had to do a lot to stop himself from exploding on a poor soul. In the olden days, he would just blow up, beat up some twerp, and then move on. Jase was trying not to be that guy, though. One of the best ways for him to do that was to get back to his old self some. It was a lot better of a solution than smoking, which Jase was, kind of unsuccessfully, trying to stop.

    Up until Jase was 12, he was really into dance and gymnastics. He really missed them, especially gymnastics. Jase set down the pack he had packed. He often ended up sleeping out here when he came out. The bag had a couple changes of clothes and a lot of food in it.

    Jase closed his eyes and got a running start, and did a perfect round off back handspring. He landed and smiled. He could almost feel himself back home with his dad, step-mom, and sister, Whitney, before his Dad died, Jase opened his eyes, and smiled brightly, starting to run into another trick.

    It wasn't unusual for Lenore McGarrett to wonder around Camp. She loosely followed her schedule, spending most of her time sitting outside, making daisy chains or finishing one of her books. Today her floppy hat blocked out the harsh rays from the sun as she reread 1984 for the tenth time. Her footsteps were light against the pavement, humming to herself softly. Right now she was missing a combat class, though that was never much of her thing. She crossed over to the grass and felt the strands brush against her toes. Her skirt whirled around as a figure ran past her.
    Ooh, careful. Lenore said, clinging onto her book.

    Jase heard a girls voice as he flew past, but he wasn't about to stop trick. He finished his trick, adding a few extra flips on the end to make himself look better. Jase landed the trick, took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and smiled in the direction of the girl. He expected to see some snobby obnoxious looking girl in front of her, but that's not what he saw at all. She was, well, beautiful. Jase spent a lot of time around beautiful girls, so he knew. He took a deep breath and walked over, smiling.

    "Sorry about that. I wasn't expecting to see anyone out here, really. Jase said. The sun of Aphrodite was wearing a pair of khaki shorts, and a red and blue plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled over his elbows, over a dark blue tshirt. He looked down at the book in the girl's hands. "I read that in high school. I'm more of Great Gatsby person. Oh, and I really like a lot of Edgar Allen Poe's stuff." One of Jase's biggest secrets, along with being a son of Aphrodite, was that he was really smart. Even though Jase was a thug in school, he thought the only way of getting out of his shitty home town was getting a good scholarship to a school out of state, so he still tried.

    Jase stuck out his hand. "I'm Jason Waters. Most people call me Jase. But you can call me Jason. Only my friend Allison does, but you can if you want." Jase said nervously. He wasn't usually the nervous one, usually the other person was.

    Lenore's eyes widened as he approached, clutching her book. My dad loves Poe. That was an understatement. Her father was obsessed with Edgar Allen Poe. She grew up with busts and posters of him all over the house with books on books of his work and stuffed ravens and biographies. When that show the Following came out she was convinced her father was a follower.
    I'm Lenore. She said quietly, gently reaching for his hand.

    Jase laughed a little. "That's a very apra-Poe name." Jade chuckled nervously. "Get it? Like aprapos, but like Edgar Allen Poe..... I'm sorry. That was awful." Jade grimaced at himself. He wasn't one to make an awful joke like that. He was usually very calm and collected, but not right now.

    "So, uh, Lenore. Tell me about yourself." Jase said, starting to calm down a bit. His usual confident smile was now back in his face. He tapped at the box of cigarettes in his pocket. It had been so long since he had smoked, and he was tempted, but he withstrained himself. Jase crossed his arms.

    Lenore's eyes light up when he made the pun. She chuckled lightly, holding up her freckled hand to  her mouth. Oh gosh, I don't really talk about myself often. It was more, no one asks her to talk about herself a lot. Lenore was usually given the task of listening to other people talking about themselves and analyzing and silently judging them. Though she would forget moments later, she's not good at remembering things. Well, my dad is a lit professor and a Poe fan. My, uh, step brother is named after William Wilson, he lives across the pond though. I just kind of read a lot. She smiled, braiding the strands that fell out from her hat. What about you, though?

    Jase smiled when she said she liked reading. It seemed perfect. "Well, I'm from Orlando. My Dad and Step-Mom own their own dairy business. My Mom.... well, we can get to that later. I have a sister named Whitney. Um.... my Dad died when I was 12 and my Step-Mom raised us from there. I kind of became an awful person after that, but I'm trying to get better." Jase said, looking down nervously. He usually wouldn't be this honest with someone, but he just felt like it wouldn't be wort it to keep this stuff from Lenore.

    "I was really involved in dance and gymnastics until my Dad died. I still like to go back. I also played baseball until my sophomore year of high school when I quit because it conflicted with my schedule of smoking cigarettes in the woods." Jase said, blushing a bit. He vowed in the moment to never light another cigarette again.

    Oh, well that's. Morbid. Lenore didn't usually turn away from the morbid details. She shifted her weight onto her other leg as she tried to piece together something else to say that didn't sound like she was scared of him. Lenore definitely not, though his openness shook her up a little. Lenore certainly wasn't that forward with people like that. She usually has them come to her, she doesn't really know how to have a conversation like this. That's good that you're trying to be better. I think it's admirable. She added, reaching out for his arm.

    Jase was starting to calm down a bit. He was starting to feel more like himself again. The good him, though. That didn't stop him from feeling like electricity shot through him when he felt her hand on his arm. "Well, I'm trying. I'm really trying. I'm quitting smoking. It's been like two weeks since I've smoked at all. And..... I'm sorry I'm telling you all of this. This isn't really like me" He felt kind of bad. He tried to think of something to ask Lenore about her. C'mon Waters. You could ask her who her mom is? No, because then you might have to tell her yours and she will laugh." Jase thought. He looked around and saw his bag. That gave him an idea. Being a teenage boy, he ate a lot of food. That meant he had more than enough food to feed to people in there. "I was planning on just eating alone, but since you're here, would you like to have a picnic?"

    A picnic? Lenore asked, her voice raising a bit. She smiled, she appreciated picnics. They were small and cute and always had a nice mood surrounding it. Lenore and her father went on frequent picnics when she was younger, though she never really had much time for that now. Does reading outside snacking on strawberries count as picnics now, probably not. Lenore was about to answer when she realized that she still had her hand on his arm. She laughed awkwardly, her face quickly being painted with a light pink. I'd love to, er, I'd like to. The awkward laughter seemed to never stop. Lenore brushed her brown hair out of her eyes, attempting something that would distract her so her pink cheeks would lessen.

    Jase smiled when she said she wanted to have a picnic with him. He smiled nerdily when the awkward laugh came out of her mouth. Finally,  he wasn't the one awkwardly laughing. Jase unconsciously took Lenore's hand as he led her over to the other side of the clearing. Jase let go of her hand when he got there, blushing when he realized that he had done it. He quickly bent down trying to cover his blushing. "I should probably apologize, but I'm not going to." Jase mumbled, as he started to pull stuff out of his bag. He found the blanket that he had in there and laid it out. He started to pull a large amount of food out of his bag. way more food then it seemed one teenage boy was ever going to need. There was a large variety of things, and Jase hoped that Lenore would like at least some of them. He got everything set up.

    Jase stood up and smiled. "Sit down. If we are going to do this, we have to do it right. I'll be right back." Jase ran off into the woods. He ran around until he found a variety of flower bushes, pulling a couple flowers off of each. Once he had a bouquet sized handful, he ran back to Lenore, and handed them to Lenore with a big dorky smile.

    Oh, um. That was all Lenore was able to say. She was never forward like this. It took hours or even days for her to be able to warm up to a person. She was a quiet person and in some conversations she never dropped her name until months later. Lenore was never really good at conversation. And yet here she was, minutes into meeting this boy and they were already on a picnic and he was bringing her flowers. She wasn't sure how to respond, no one has brought her flowers before. She sat off centered of the blanket when she gingerly took the bouquet out of his hands.Thank you so much. She said, smiling a little.

    Jase sat down facing Lenore., but the blanket wasn't all that big, so he was pretty close to her. Jase smiled and picked up a plate. "What can I get for you?" Jase asked. There was a large amount of food, ao hoefully he would have stuff for her to eat. Well, this feels kind of like a date, Jase thought. He had never really done the whole date thing before. He had had girlfriends before, but they didn't do the date thing. He was a jerk, somehow she stayed interested. Jase did the best to not think of that, though. That was the old Jase. New Jase, new Jase. Jase thought. He looked up at Lenore and smiled confidently.

    Lenore brought her knees up close to her chest as her eyes scanned the array of food in front of her. She was trying her best to give Jase more space, considering that the blanket was very small, she didn't want to be on top of him. I'm fine with fruit, thank you. She said softly. Her eyes darted from him back to the food and then back to him again. Sorry I'm awkward.

    Jase quickly pulled all of the fruit towards him, and put a bunch of it on a plate for Lenore. He smiled a perfect Aphrodite-kid smile at her, and handed her the plate. He grabbed another plate and started throwing a bunch of stuff from everywhere on to the plate. "I am starving. I've been out here for a couple hours. A lot of people say that I eat too much, even for a boy, but I don't really care. The other Aphrodite kids make-" Jase caught himself, but a little too late. Oh gods.... Abort, abort, abort. Jase thought. "Please don't make fun of me. Don't make any snap judgements. I'm not like them, really. Well, except for the looks." Jase said, with a nervous smile. No matter how nervous the smile was, it still looked perfect.

    Aphrodite?Lenore asked. Her freckled hands moved up to her floppy had and moved it to the ground. Her green eyes scanned his face. She could see Aphrodite in his cheekbones, and his smile. Lenore didn't see the problem with his god parent. She  plucked a strawberry out from her plate to take a small bite. I don't see why that is funny, she said quietly, There's nothing wrong with that.

    Jase let out a relieved sigh. "I'm not very Aphrodite and I'm kinda self conscious about it. I don't want people to think I'm self centered and mean just because I'm, y'know, good looking." Jase said, breaking off a piece of bread and popping it in his mouth. Jase was coming more to terms with his godly Mom, but it was still hard. The old Jase was so against it, but he was starting to see it in his personality. "Who is your mom?"

    Lenore's nose scruntched up, I don't think the two correlate. I wouldn't say you're mean, attractive, but not mean. Her eyes moved away from Jase and to the bowl of dwindling fruit. She never thought about her mother as a burden like he did. Her godly parent was just there, never bothered Lenore or gave her an aspect about her personality that she hated. Her mother left her alone, and Lenore was fine with that;she really only needed one parent. My mother is Demeter

    Jase blushed when Lenore said that he was attractive. "That's a really cool, mom. Like she actually does cool stuff, not just fixing hair and pimples."  After Jase came out of his I'm-to-cool-for-school phase, Jase started thinking a lot about what he wanted to do with his life. he wanted to do something that could change the world. He wanted to save it. Jase looked at Lenore with a serious look on his face. "Thank goodness you're not a daughter of Aphrodite, but you're as beautiful as one."

    Oh gosh, thank you. Lenore McGarrett was not good at taking compliments. She gave out many, however. As she walked down the dusty  dirt path at Camp she would notice a girl's flower print on her dress or the light colors on someone's shoes; typically she would say something about them to he person. She liked the expression on someone's face when she gives them a compliment. Now, that it's the other way around and she didn't know how to handle herself.
    The first thing Lenore noticed was that her face was washed over  in the brightest pink she ever knew existed. It was like the pink all the first grade girls who wore Ugg boots with the sparkles would choose. The pink that was currently making her feel extremely embarrassed. Lenore grinned, though she just thought she was only smiling a little. That's very sweet of you. she added softly.

    Jase smiled. "It's easy to be sweet when the person that you're complimenting is as beautiful is you." Jase said, taking a bite out a ham and cheese sub. He looked around at the field that surrounded them. The Sun was high in the sky and was lighting up the grass and little wild flowers in the most miraculous way that Jase had ever seen. Jase looked back at Lenore. The light was shining into her light green eyes and Jase couldn't help but stare. He tilted his head a little to the said. Jase reached over and pulled a white and yellow flower from the ground and reached across he blanket, slipping it behind Lenore's ear. "Perfect."

    Lenore felt the goosebumps rise up on her arms when Jase's fingers grazed the side of her face. She wasn't sure what she should do in this moment, her body froze. Her brain froze as well, she had no idea how to respond. Though her face turning an even brighter shade of pink showed more than whatever Lenore was able to say.  What are you doing? She asked. Lenore's hand moved up to Jase's as she went to hold it, moving both of their hands away from the flower; but Lenore didn't drop his hand. This was very fast, Lenore has never seen anyone try to move this fast with her. This was very new to her, the compliments, the pace. It confused her, though as she and Jase sat there she minded it less.
    She liked holding his hand, which was odd. She hated touching, Lenore hated holding her dad's hand when she was little and even now. But here, she was comfortable, Lenore could hold Jase's hand for as long as he wanted to. She could hold two hands. She felt safe, almost. Happy. She liked this feeling.

    Jase's face faltered for just a second when Lenore asked was he was doing. To be honest, he was a bit nervous, sitting here with her. Jase had played this game before, and won, but that was a problem. This wasn't a game this time. Nothing mattered more to him than what Lenore thought of him in that moment. Jase wanted to impress her, and to win her trust. Something inside him when he thought of trust. It was something he was never very good at. Trusting people was hard, not taking their trust wrongfully had always been harder.

    Jase's hand was removed from her face, and he felt like he had made a huge mistake, but she didn't let go of his hand, and there was no way he was letting go. His confidence settled back in, but something in his eyes was still a little bit nervous. There was something her eyes, too, but he just couldn't read it. "Am I doing something wrong?"

    no, no! was that too forward? lenore felt panicked, she didn't want to sound like she was too forward. lenore wasn't even a forward person, if she could she would speak in iambic pentameter since thats how her father would when she asked pesky questions. her eyes were locked on their hands. it has been a few minutes, several minutes of lenore holding someone's hand. it was weird. without releasing his hand she moved their hands down to rest on her knee. you're perfect-fine. you're fine. she smiled, trying to think of something that would make her rosy flush disappear.
    THANKS!

    Jase smiled his perfect Aphrodite smile. "It's okay, you can say it. I am perfect." He said confidently, but then his confidence fell, again. "That... That was a joke. I promise." He said hastily, before Lenore thought that he was the egotistical monster that, sometimes, he could be. What is going on here? Jase thought. It wasn't like him to not be able to keep his confident shield up, but it just wasn't holding today. He couldn't focus on it. All he could focus on was the heat of Lenore's hand in his. It felt nice, and warm, and comforting. Jase could feel himself relaxing everything, down to his facade.
