Jason x Julia

Jason woke up to the sound of something which had become very familiar to him over the years, and something which he had come to know very well, the sound of a tea kettle boiling water. He sat up and rubbed his head, and then he looked over to the kitchen to confirm what he already knew, that being his wife Julia was making tea for herself to start the day. How she managed to drink it, and even enjoy it was far beyond him. Still, the sight of it made him smile, and so he got out of the bed, and walked behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist in a hug. " Good morning my love," he said with a smile.

That had been an oddity to Jason, that he had fallen in love with her. Not because Julia was the type of girl who was hard to love at all, rather because he was the type of person who was hard to love, and the type of person who had done the best he could not to fall in love. In fact, when he had gone to Beacon, he had been a very different person, lost and confused in a lot of ways, but the one thing he did know was that he wasn't going to fall in love, or at least that had been what he told himself.

Growing up with Ruby and Yang, he had heard all about the times when they wanted to find someone to be with, inspired by the love story between their father and mother, and how cute they found it to be. He had seen Yang's boyfriends come and go, and he had seen Ruby's childlike love of fairy tales, and her love of the idea of a Prince Charming, who would sleep her off her feet one day, and the two of them would fall in love with each other. Jason had never been like that however.

He was like his mother, Raven in a lot of ways. Closed off from a lot of people, and guarded. He rarely smiled, never laughed, and was often training. While Ruby and Yang wanted to become huntresses and save all the people they could, and make the world a better place, Jason had always wanted to become a huntsman, and become known as the strongest in the world, just like his mother had wanted when she was his age.

Jason had been irritated when he had heard that when he went to Beacon, he was going to have a team, and that he was going to have to work with them when the time came, maybe even trust his life to them. Ruby had been excited about the idea of it, as she was excited about everything. She and Yang both promised that their team would become the coolest team since STRQ to graduate from Beacon. While the two of them had always been excited about it, Jason had resented the idea, and had tried to make it through the initiation without getting a team.

Of course, that had fallen apart very quickly, when he ended up making eye contact with someone, the woman who would later become his wife, and the most important woman in the world to him. Julia Rose. Of course, when he had first met her, he hadn't been interested at all, and he had no plans on falling in love with her. He didn't want to repeat his mom's story, the cliche story of ' The two of us were partners when we went to Beacon, and we ended up falling in love with each other.'

But his disinterest in her had changed when he had gotten a good look at her. At her blue eyes, which even back then took him several moments to pry his gaze from, or her purple hair which seemed to be soft as silk, and even back then he wanted to run his hands through it, just to see what it would be like. Or her cat ears, which rested on her head, and he had wanted to pet so bad, even back then. Of course, with Jason being Jason, none of those were the first thing he did.

The first thing he had done was to try to walk off, since he didn't want a partner. Of course, she kept up with him effortlessly. Once he had given up on trying to make it through without a partner, he resigned himself to the idea that the two of them would be partners, and so he had ended up introducing himself to her. After the two of them had waved at each other, he had looked at her, trying not to stare. " I'm Jason," he had said, stiffly and uncertain, not used to having conversations with people other than family.

Even all these years later, her reply had always been something which had stuck with him, even now that the two of them were married to each other, and had a daughter on the way. " I'm a person," she had answered, and there had been nothing he was able to say to that, since it had taken him by surprise. At first he had thought it was because she was like him, someone who didn't want to have a partner, and had been stuck with one, though as he had gotten to know her, he began to think it was because she wasn't always good with social situations.
