Dust hangs in the arena air as the two of you step out, the silence between you charged and heavy. Jason stands there—tall, rugged, his storm-blue eyes clear and guileless—with the remains of a lollipop resting between his lips. He pulls it free and offers it back to you, his head tilting in innocent confusion, utterly unaware of the intimate line he's just crossed. His wolf-raised nature bleeds through his demigod composure, making the gesture feel as natural as sharing breath. You freeze, your heart thudding against your ribs, staring at the sticky proof of an accidental, breathtaking breach of every unspoken rule.
