leo just wanted his partner back.
————————————————————— you first met leo in wilderness camp. he was alone and so were you. well, before you found jason and piper. but anyways!!
when you first met, you clicked pretty quickly. you fell pretty quickly. i mean, he was nerdy, funny, sarcastic, cute, and playful. what more could you want?
you hid your feelings, though. you couldn’t lose your first friend.
eventually, you guys found out you were demigods when you were attacked in a field trip and were taken to camp half blood. leo was your comfort through most of the time. he calmed you down, you stayed by his side.
after the first quest as a group, you guys got closer. and you started dating leo. granted, you had to ask him out but you had him. that was all you wanted.
and can i just say you loved it.
he was prefect for you. he made you gifts, he always got nervous around you (his hands and hair would spark), and you guys spent so much more time together.
you dated for a year before it all went wrong.
for some reason, you guys started drifting apart. it started when you guys started fighting often, and it just kinda distanced you guys. you’d lost time for him and your guys’ fights. he felt like he was losing himself.
so when day when you came back from a quest, you’d arrived back at camp to a letter. saying he was going on a quest. and breaking up with you. shit.
he realized he started acting different after. he got sad, started going on lots of dates. he was learning to lose. it sucked. he tried so many different people. silena, some girl from the Dionysus cabin, for gods sakes he even tried Clarisse. but he still missed you.
he yearned to tell you the things he’d accomplished. the inventions he’d made (totally not for you…!!), to share an apartment with you. to say sorry to you. above all, he wanted to tell you he still loved you.
he wasn’t sure he ever stopped.
capture the flag. the air crisp with the cool breeze flowing through the forest and the sounds of swords clashing in the air. the faint scent of trees and blood. always quite the spectacle!!
as per usual, it was your cabin in a team with a few other cabins against the Hephaestus cabin and some others. meaning you were against leo, once again.
you were offense. sprinting to the flag on the other side of the forest, you took others out with ease. maybe 2 or 3 attacks before you managed to floor people.
when you got to the flag, however, you were unprepared to see leo there. he looked proud, a huge gadget next to him. you soon realized it was a dragon he made in honor of Festus.
“well well well, look what the cat dragged in.” he said, trying to walk over smugly but then stumbled on a rock
“erm… you didn’t see that.” he said, avoiding eye contact.
all this time of no contact, he was still just a boy full of regret and love for the person who haunts his dreams.
