Lester Papadopoulos x Reader

One shot 2

Y/n goes with camp half-blood to attack Nero's tower during The Tower of Nero nstuff yk? Like the previous chapter Lester and you were pretty close Sooo ye.

I forgot to mention that I really don't remember how this went down in to book so I'm making it up. Pls bare with me.

The Gaul was the only thing stand in between me and the door. His use-to-be shiny sword, now covered in the blood of fellow demigods, threatened to stab me they way it had the others.

I drew my bow, and he readied his sword. I looked for his weak spots, anything to prevent him from spilling my blood too. I looked, aimed, ready to shoot. He crumpled like paper and dissolved into dust. I might have fooled my self that I had killed him, but my arrow hadn't left my bow, no one else was with me either. Someone must have gotten him through the door he had his back to.

Either way he was gone. I ran out to the hall to see who must have been the one who shot the Gaul. He kicked open every door, looking for something I'd assume. What's to look for though?

I dashed after him and met him in a dead end. A girls room it looked like. The boy sobbed in despair. He turned and that's when I recognized him.

"Lester..." I said in a whisper. "What's..?"

"Meg, she's not here." Lester wept. I looked around, confirming she indeed wasn't there.
"She... she was here. Nero must have taken her!"

I started my way to give him a hug, but a computer screen came alive interrupting me.
An ugly face came on, Nero I guessed.

I barely heard the foot steps behind. whatever it was must've been running, because it tried to come to a halt, skidding right into me. I toppled over alerting Nero of my presence.

"What was that?" Nero demanded

"Urm, that was a..." I stood awkwardly dusting myself. "Me?"

"Lester," Nero grinned. "A partner?" He pondered. "Bring them with you." His grin grew making him look even uglier.

"Nero, no. I'm not bringing anyone with me."
Lester put his foot down. He'd grown so much since the beginning of his trials. Before he'd hide behind anyone he thought unworthy, but he was more selfless now. Standing between the threat and someone he cared about, even the unworthy.

Nero's face dropped. "Oh, alright then. let me just look for this remote. I might as well just press that gas button."

"I'll come." I rested a hand on Lester's shoulder. He turned towards me, his face almost begging me not to come, but it was either me or everyone else.

"Fifteen minutes," Nero broke Lester's and I'd staring contest. "Now get down here love birds!"
The computer shut off, leaving Lester and me. He grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room. "Come on!" He called.

Soon we found the elevator that led to the throne room. It was so silent, it scared me almost. I looked up at Lester, seeing him already looking at me.

"I shouldn't have let you come," Panic slowly coming over his face, as if he's now realizing a great mistake when it was I who said I would come. "Oh my gods, I was thinking of only Meg when I agreed you could come and nothing else. Nero could kill You."
I sigh "I said I would come. Nero will kill everyone if I don't."

My heart sank just seeing Lester's face swell with panic, his eyes met mine and I saw nothing but fear. "Stay here," His voices sounds like more of a beg now. "Tuck yourself into the corner where Nero won't see you, and go back up with the elevator."

"I'm coming wi-." Lester cut me off with a small peck on the lips. My heart dropped even more if that was even possible. Lester really didn't want me going with him, he really cared for me. So much he was willing to face whatever Nero has planned if I don't come, than have me come with him.

"If your coming with me, and you see me get killed or- or..." his hand reaches out and brushes the back of my own. I assume he means or if I get killed.
"I really like you," I nod my head, unsure of what to say. "If I die take care of Meg."

I laugh, either out of nervousness, or just trying to lighten the mood, I'm not sure.
"Bold of you to assume Meg would let you die."
He does not laugh. Noted Lester has no sense of humor in dangerous situations. Boring. His eyes shift from fear to sadness, I feel bad for a moment as he turns back to the door with a small nod of his head.

The elevator doors open up where we are lead to the thrown room. As we make our way through I grab Lester's hand, hopefully either reassuring him of our up coming fight with Nero or with Lester's confession of feelings that I made weird.
He gave my hand a squeeze back noting that I'm there. I could hear his hitched breath as we made our way through the hall.

After. I would tell him how I feel, after. Nero's throne room was ginormous and beside his throne were eleven kids. He plans to take out the olympians then make themselves gods. Him god.

"Ahh finally you showed up with a minute to spare. You waste no time."
Lester let go of my hand with a growl hopefully directed towards Nero.
"Where's Meg?"

Nero's ugly grin grew. "Meg dear come out please." Meg appeared from behind a potted plant. Her glasses replaced, hair trimmed and a new outfit instead of her Sally Jackson one.
Her nose red from crying, it broke my heart.
She's my sister and it hurt to see her that way, So trimmed up a proper.
You could see it on Lester's face too. He didn't like it.

-gonna skip the next couple of parts because I forgot em-

The next thing I knew guards were surrounding us. Lester had his bow drawn so I drew my back as well. Meg was fighting one of her siblings- or they were fighting her, she was trying to convince them to join us.

Lester was aiming and shooting like no tomorrow. I feared he'd run out of arrows soon. But despite all the blows the guard we're getting. They seemed to be multiplying. Every guard down two more appear.

I guess no one saw the guard sneaking up on me. Or maybe they did, but nobody wanted to warn me. He got me though. I turned around just in time to get stabbed and look at my murderer in the eyes.

I cried out in pain, which got Lester's attention. At the same time he ran out of arrows. He looked over to see my burning wound. What a perfect time to get a burst of godly strength. Which is what happened. I didn't see much of it, as I, of course, was bleeding. But one moment there are twenty seven guards the next moment, one and a half guards.

Lester ran to me he placed a hand over my wound. He tried move all his powers into healing me. But his burst of strength was gone.

Lester wept as he held me in his arms. I didn't not. Because how embarrassing. No not really. I just couldn't cry.
I beckoned Lester to come closer. He leans so we're inches apart.

"I'm sorry." My words got chocked up in my throat. Lester shook his head in denial.
"I really like you too." I lean just enough to kiss the tip of his nose.

And that's when I stopped breathing.

Don't know what happened to Meg or Lester. Or Nero. Hopefully what I fought and died for.
And I lay dead now knowing I'll never see Lester again.

Sorry loves I rushed the end a bit. I need to refresh my brain a little. It's been awhile since I've read the books lmao.
