Broken beyond repair (A Leico/Valedangelo story)

Who are you? (Talking part 1)

The boy sat in front of his desk. If there was a day to do this, it was today. Slammed into lockers, punched. Ah yes. Life was good. Not. It wasn't as bad as usual though. At least his friends could stop most of it. Sighing, he opened his laptop with a sense of pride. He'd built this with his father. He opened up the chat window. And waited.

The boy sat against the wall of his cell. A line had been painted 5 foot around him in every direction. Everyone who came to visit him were told not to go past it in case he attacked. The boy reacted to people comming too close to him. He'd gotten better now, hence the smaller line. Once 10 feet wide, he'd agreed for it to be painted smaller. The door opened, startling the young boy.

"Your laptop. Do you know how to work it?"

He nodded, gesturing for it to be placed on the line. The person put it down, and backed off out of the door. As soon as it closed, he reached out and pulled it back to his spot. He opened it and saw that the chat window was already open. There was of course, just one name. Repair Boy. Clicking on it, he expanded the photo to see a small, curly haired latino boy. A warm, fuzzy feeling spread through his small, skeletal frame. Pushing it aside, he typed one word.

》GhostKing: Hello?

《RepairBoy: Hello, my name is Leo Valdez. You must by Nico di Angelo, right?

》GhostKing: Correct. I'm guessing that you are the boy that I'm supposed to be talking to or you wouldn't be talking to me. No one's told me anything about you.

《RepairBoy: Well, my name I have told you, I live with my father, Hephastaus, and my mother died in a fire set up by a gang. I'm bullied at school for being gay and for standing up for my friends. I understand if you no longer wish to talk to me.

》GhostKing: No no! Please don't go! I don't talk to anyone else. I really don't care if people are gay. Do you want to know why?

《RepairBoy: Go on...

》GhostKing: I am gay! By the name of god, if I was there those bullies would be in hospital!

《RepairBoy: But you've literally just started talking to me...

》GhostKing: I feel like I've known you for ages.

《RepairBoy: Ah. I'm like that. I'm very protective of my few friends.

》GhostKing: Tell me about them. Please?

《RepairBoy: Okay. One of my friends is called Jason, and his father is called Zeus. He's dating my other friend, Piper, whose mother is called Aphrodite. Then there are my friends who have moved up here just to be with me. Hazel, Frank and Reyna. Hazel's mother is called Persephone, Frank lives with his father, Mars, after his mother died at war, whilst Reyna lives with her mother Bellona and sister Hylla.

》GhostKing: They sound great. I wish I had friends that I saw everyday. Tell me, do you have any pets?

《RepairBoy: I can see if they'll let us 'face time' each other... and yes, I have a small cat called Festus.

》GhostKing: I'd love that! I... I mean... That would be cool. But you named a cat 'happy' in Latin?

《RepairBoy: I was feeling optimistic! Plus he is such a happy cat. I'll have to send you a photo if they let me, but I've got to go have tea now. I'll be back on later. Bye!

》GhostKing: I'll be waiting. Not like I have anywhere else to go. Bye.

Nico sighed. He would wait. They wouldn't get the laptop back. Nope. Not at all. The door opened and he looked up. Ah. They'd come hadn't they. Well, tough. They wont get it.

"Nico, we've come to take the laptop back for now. "

He shook his head.

"Why not? "

He opened up a document and typed: I'm waiting.

"Waiting for what?"

He typed again: For Repair Boy. For Leo.

"But Nico, he wont be on again today."

More typing: Yes he will.

"Fine. Keep it for now."

They walked out of the room and closed the door behind them. He relaxed, and went on the Internet. Time to waste time. Maybe this would pass time until he was released again.

Leo bounded down the stairs to meet his father. He collided with said father, sending both of them into the door.

"Woah Repair Boy! What's got you rushing around?"

"I promised Nico that I'd have tea and go back to talking to him!"

Leo righted himself, and bolted into the kitchen. He grabbed a pack of crisps and a sandwich from the plate next to his step-mother. Turning, he raced back up the stairs. Or at least, tried to.

"Dad! Put me down!"

Hephastaus hauled him back into the kitchen, and started rummaging through the cupboards with Leo still under his arm.

"I'm providing you with more than just a snack!"

Aphroditie rolled her eyes and pulled out a tin from the cupboard in front of her.

"Take these Leo."

"Thanks Mom!"

He grabbed the tin and ran for the stairs.

"That's the first time he's called me mom!"
