Percy

Percy trained in the dead of night, like he often did to get tired so he could get some sleep. Tonight he was not alone. A 5'6 Latino boy was sitting watching, unaware that the lord of the seas knew he was there. Leo got up to leave thinking he was sneaky, Percy smirked.

"Going somewhere, repair boy?" He said turning around. Leo flinched, Percy waited for the dumb joke that for some reason he would find the need to laugh at. Percy grinned. Leo fumbled with his hands before settling on something

"Couldn't sleep.." he said walking over to a bench and slumping onto it. Percy frowned then walked over to the bench Leo was sitting on and sat down.

"Awh, what's wrong?" Percy asked scratching his messy raven hair, Leo looked at him and yawned. 

"Nothin'. Nothing." Leo said his hands on his knees, he yawned the promptly fell onto Percys knee half-asleep. Percy paused for a second wondering why his heart was racing, but put it down to the fighting.

"Leo get of.' Percy laughed. But Leo turned over and grumbled.

"Your warm. Did you know you're warm?" Leo quizzed obviously to tired to think.

"Leo you can set yourself on fire, and I'm the warm one?" Percy asked. Leo started up at Percy stubbornly then turned over again, and muttered something, and the fell asleep. Percy looked at the Latino boy and laughed, he gently lifted Leo up, and walked to cabin 9. Percy opened the door and walked in to find it was rather loud, but has soon has Percy walked in everyone fell silent. Percy raised his eyebrow but everyone just stared, Percy put Leo down, in Charlie Beckendorf's old bed, Percy grimaced when remembering his old friend his sea-glass eyes threatened to cry. He smiled knowing that Charlie would have loved Leo like a son even though he would only be a few years older then Leo, and with that Percy left for cabin 3 smiling. 

The next morning at breakfast the Hephaestus cabin were whispering amongst themselves, and Leo was scratching his head listening, he saw Percy and waved who returned it. He sat down and ate his food on the lonely dining table when Leo walked over clearly embarrassed.

"Uh hey man, sorry 'bout that, last night." He said hands behind his back. Percy smiled.

"It's nothing repair boy." Percy said looking away from his blue pancakes, at Leo who was smiling.

"No prob, Sharkboy," Leo paused making sure Percy got the reference, "this seat taken?" Leo asked pointing beside Percy. After the giant war Chirion lifted the rule to celebrate, "inclusion". 

"No Lavagirl, no it is not." Percy grinned has Leo sat down.
