Don't drown (Nico di Angelo x OC) [discontinued]

XVII.

*3rd person

"You want me to come with you on a quest?" Leo said thoughtfully, "But why me?"

"Because you fitted best." Hellene smiled at him but Nico continued glaring at the Hephaestus' son.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Leo looked over at the son of Hades who narrowed his eyes but looked away, "I'm not the best choice. They're probably other campers willing to--"

The daughter of Poseidon stood up and moved his hands in hers. Then, she smiled again and made puppy eyes.

"Please!" She said and Leo sighed.

Nico's eyes widened but he immediately understood it was only a play to convince the boy on fire.

"What can I say?!" Leo started and sighed again, "Girls can never get enough of that."

He smiled at Hellene and started flexing his muscles.

"I hope you're proud with that show you put on." Nico whispered to her and she caught his hand under the table.

"Don't worry. You're the only one." The daughter of Poseidon assured him and he gave a small smile.

"So are you." He murmured and his cheeks heated.

"Then, it's settled." Percy said unsure if he was telling the truth, "Congratulations Leo, you're officially part of our quest!"

"Thanks," Leo said, obviously proud of himself, "I'm looking forward to spending more time with this hottie."

He wiggled his eyebrows at Hellene and before Nico could ruin their plan, Hellene grabbed him by his sleeve.

"Percy will take care of it." She whispered to her boyfriend.

After a couple of seconds Leo was on the ground underneath Percy.

"I finally taught you how to fight, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth came from behind the boys and put her hand on Percy's shoulder but instead he kissed her passionately.

"That's even worse!" Leo commented struggling to get of Percy's hands but the boy was way stronger than him.

"Too bad cause you're gonna be watching this for another month or so," Nico whispered in Leo's ear making the boy's heart skip a beat, "And don't touch Hellene!"

This last words the Death Boy stroke at him made him narrow his eyes but Nico just smiled and got pulled away by Hellene. He winked at Leo with a devilish smile that revealed his seriousness.

"You aren't coming?!" Annabeth repeated Leo's words from a couple of minutes ago and the boy nodded.

"Why did you change your mind so suddenly?" Percy asked him.

"Intuition." Leo answered already annoyed by the conversation, "Go away. I'm busy." He murmured.

Percy narrowed his eyes at the boy on fire, "You didn't mention intuition before, did you?"

Leo turned to face the son of Poseidon and shouted at him, "You didn't mention Nico was going out with your sister!"

"We didn't...?" Annabeth laughed nervously. She didn't expect from Leo to be that smart.

"No, you didn't. Besides, she tried using her body to convince me which--"

"Leo, it's about time to shut up." Percy cut him off, his face becoming more and more pale.

"Why? Why does everyone always wants me to--" Annabeth whispered something in Leo's ear which made him trail off, "To... To..."

He turned around and his eyes widened when he saw the familiar figure by the door. The pitch black eyes met his soft brown ones and a smile grew on the other boy's lips. He started walking towards Leo who took a few slow steps back. The son of Hades soon reached the son of Hephaestus.

"Say, Leo," Nico started playing with the small figure in his hands, "What happened to that confident expression of yours? I thought the ladies couldn't get enough."

Leo's hands started sweating and he felt like the son of Hades had made every single nerve of his shudder. The small boy couldn't move but Nico made a couple of circles around him. Leo gulped and Di Angelo stopped in front of him.

"So, how about you leave my girlfriend alone?" Nico tilted his head and shrugged, "It's your choice after all. Will we do this the hard way or the easy way?"

And with this words Nico tossed the small toy in his hand to Leo who caught it in the last second. The son of Hades turned around and walked through the door.

Leo broke down to his knees and opened his hand so that he can take a better look at the figure gifted to him by the Death Boy. Surprisingly it was a mini copy of Leo really neatly made and really detailed. The boy couldn't hold back the tears so he just clenched his fists and hit the ground as they started falling down.

"Leo, Leo! Gods, Leo, wake up!" Someone shook his shoulders and shouted at him.

"Five more minutes!" He stretched and yawned.

"No!"

"Why not?" Leo asked sleepily.

Then, he turned to look at the person that had woken him up earlier than needed. To his surprise it was Annabeth.

"We have to get the ship ready." She demanded.

"But Percabeth is already canon." The son of Hephaestus answered not realizing what the wise girl was talking about.

"Not that ship," She sighed, "The other one."

"Argo II ?!" Leo quickly said and jumped out of bed, "Count me in!"

Annabeth smiled as they exited the cabin on their way to meet the others.
