Lock and Keys (Reader x Leo)

{Ch. 2} His story was pretty interesting

It's probably been an hour since you've boarded the metal dragon and got half the story of how Leo and his friend saved the world. With every passing minute, you were starting to like Leo more and Calypso less. You had to admit you were jealous. Not just of Calypso, but Leo too. He had all these adventures and you had none, the biggest thing you've ever done was talk to your mom. You were glad that you were gone from her, but still you had no idea what was to some in the future. As you were listening, you started getting tired. It was only late afternoon and your depression had finally worn off. Hugging Leo's back to get a jealous reaction from Calypso was probably a bad idea but you did it anyway. You felt smug until you looked down, causing you to lunged forward and increase your grip on Leo.

"What? Are you afraid of heights?" Calypso crossed her arms.

You shook your head and your voice quivered but you replied. "Y-yes." Her arms loosened and she looked away with regretting. 

"How much longer till we get there?" You asked desperately. A mixture of squeaks and roars came from Festus.

"Yeah probably." Leo said and then turned halfway around to tell you, "He said probably another hour." More squeaks and roars came from Festus.

"Oh really? Sorry buddy, I didn't mean to drive you for so long." He patted Festus' head. "Guys, we're gonna set up camp, is that alright?"

"Yeah, I was getting kinda tired and I think (y/n) would like to be on the ground again." Calypso seemed sympathetic.

"Festus, land in those woods." Leo had pointed toward the forest underneath.

As you landed, Leo got off and started getting things from his, rather small tool belt, Calypso started grabbing them and placing them around the plain area. Leo looked like he didn't like the way she was handling his stuff so he tried to tell her where to put them.

"...and put those there."

"Mehmehemeh and put those there." Calypso mimicked.

"Will you stop?!" Leo raised his voice.

You sat uncomfortably on a tree stump, watching and listening their bickering. Honestly first they kidnapped you and now you have to play marriage counselor?

"Um, guys..." You tried.

"Were you always like this?!" Leo shouted.

"I don't know, maybe if you didn't fall for every single girl you've set your eyes on, I wouldn't be like this!"

"Are- are you jealous?! You don't trust me?! I broke the curse! I freed you! Shouldn't that mean something?!"

"That doesn't mean I have to repay you!"

"GUYS!!" You had to scream to get them to stop. They both looked at you with hatred. "Let's just settle down and call it a night alright? You're both probably extremely tired and it's already dark out, let's go to sleep."

Festus was already snoozing and you pulled the blanket that Leo gave you (somehow) into the space in between the sleeping machine. Calypso took the right and Leo took the left. You were forced for the odd position of the middle but you laid down and tried to sleep.

The stars were lovely and the silhouettes of the trees made the night sky look even more mysterious. Both bodies were curled up in fetal position, facing away from each other.

This is so awkward, you really hoped they're asleep now.

Giving into your heavy eyelids, your focus on the stars kept blurring. You kept thinking about what tomorrow would bring. These two people didn't do too well with explaining why and where you were going. Nevertheless why they rescued you, but you could at least ask tomorrow. You closed your eyes.
