Chapter Text
Piper and Reyna talked.
They talked for hours, about why Reyna didn’t want to tell Piper her real name, and why Piper was so mad about it. Jason was allowed to pipe in with answers to questions when he was needed, otherwise he kept his eyes focused on the phone in front of him.
Piper sighed and leaned back on her chair, running a hand through her hair. “Does this mean we’re good?” She asked, daring to look across the table at Reyna. She looked so regal, with her in a neat braid and her shirt properly ironed, nails done to perfection.
Suddenly she felt self conscious of her tangle hair and frayed t shirt, she would’ve tried to dress better if she knew that she’d bump into Reyna at the mall.
Reyna laughed and nodded, reaching over and holding Piper’s hand. “I can’t believe we were so hung up on something that could be solved in a conversation.” She smiled and Piper nodded, feeling instantly at ease.
It didn’t matter that they were so different.
Reyna liked her. She liked Reyna.
That was all that mattered right now.
Their fond little moment was promptly ended by Jason sneezing, earning himself the attention of both the girls.
“Bless you.” Reyna curtly said.
Piper frowned softly. “Jace…it won’t be too weird for you though, that we’re dating?” She asked.
Jason thought for a moment, frowning and playing with fingers, something he always did when he was nervous.
“I don’t mind.” He finally said.
“I guess it might be a little awkward at first, but I swear, no hard feelings towards anyone.” He took a sip of his coffee. “I love you two too much to come in between you like that you know?” He tried to explain.
Reyna smiled and leaned across the table to hug Jason, who smiled and patted her back. Piper knew Jason well enough to know that he wasn’t faking it right now, and that thought made her a bit happier.
After Piper gave Jason another hug, she stood up and brushed the food crumbs from her clothes. “We should get going now, it’s getting late.” She said, offering Reyna a hand.
“We could drop you off on the way.” Jason quipped. “It’s on they back anyways.”
Reyna nodded. “That would be great.”
Piper held Reyna’s hand and walked to the mall parking lot behind Jason, who looked perfectly content looking into shop windows and smiling at little children.
She grinned and held onto Reyna’s hand a little tighter, trying to smuggle into her warmth. “Are you cold?” She asked and Piper shook her head, it wasn’t as if Reyna had a jacket to offer anyways.
As they walked across the concrete, Piper couldn’t help but notice that Reyna was taller than her.
And they fit together perfectly.
