Leo Valdez x Reader

Is This Really Happening?

**just saying, I really love how I'm writing an x-reader fan fiction and the best I can do with flirting is bribe a guy with $2 to go to homecoming with me...I'm goals 😂**

You woke up in a cold sweat, tears streaming down your already soaked face. You were completely drenched, but had you really been sweating that much? And why was it so cold? That's when you realized it wasn't just you that was sacked, everyone else was, too. That seemed a little weird to you. You checked everything around you, too. All wet. Everything. Even the part of the flannel you were laying on. You didn't think it was rain, because wasn't someone bound to wake up if it was raining that hard? That's when a feeling of terror swept over you.
You turned to the closest person to you-Percy Jackson, who was dry despite the rain due to his godly powers- and tried to shake him awake. Nothing. Next you tried Jason. No sign. You held your breath as you shook your boyfriend, but he didn't even make any means of acknowledgement that you were shaking him. Tears streaked your face a little as you started to shake and breath heavily as you shook the last person...
A tear fell onto the girl's forever sleeping body as you knew what had happened. She had put all of you into a deep sleep, but she scared you out of yours. It had rained, and none of you wee remotely awake to hear it or notice it. This was the end. The final line. They were done for.
Unless...
Was that a flutter you saw in Annabeth's eyelids? Was that a shake of the hand you saw? Suddenly, she came to life, yawning and stretching as she did every morning. You had never been so glad to see her messy blonde curls and smell her awful morning breath in your life. You immediately clinged to her, happy that at least someone else could wake up.
"Whoa, what's that all about?" she asked.
"I-you- I thought she- I thought she cast a spell on you or something..." you choked between sobs, tearing away from her and wiping your eyes on the flannel.
"What and awhile are you talking about?" she asked utterly confused.
"I know who's behind it all now-everything. The breakup attempt, the nightmares, the messages..." You looked at Annabeth Chase with the most saddened look you had ever given, and she breathed in sharply, surprised by the outcome.
"You mean...?"
You nodded. "I had a dream last night. It was her."
"Oh, gods...." You both looked at Leo with the biggest feeling of sympathy and sadness at the same time. Someone had to tell the poor boy...and you were his girlfriend...
"I'll tell him. It's only right," you whispered, a feeling of determination and a need to take what was rightfully yours filled you now. You had to do this. You had to.
"You're right, but that's gonna be a hard thing to say..."
"I know. I can handle it."
"You sure?"
"I'm sure."
"They're still under the potion, though, so it'll be a while."
"Potion? You asked, clearly bewildered that she knew what it was that that caused them to sleep, but you didn't.
"Yeah, I can smell it on them. It's a sleeping potion that puts them into a deep sleep that only the holder of the potion-actually, it's a flower-can wake them from usually, but this one isn't strong. It should wear off soon. Maybe about an hour. What it actually is is a flower that makes you sleep-Hypnos's specialty-and you sprinkle it over the person who you want to sleep and they absorb it, kind of." You shuddered at the thought of absorbing a flower...yuck. That did not sound appealing to you. But sure enough,ma half hour later after you and Annabeth had eaten the last of the egg McMuffins, (actually,you threw yours overboard and decided to go hungry; it was disgusting! You made a mental reminder to make sure Leo added a refrigerator to the compartment or something) the men of the dragon were awake.
"Aw, you're not still sleeping, Sleeping Beauty? Bummer, I guess I'll have to kiss you while you're awake," Leo said, leaning over and kissing you. Annabeth squealed, but you felt a little...guilty. You'd have to deliver the bad news about who exactly was doing all this, and he'd probably break up with you, you thought. This wasn't how you wanted to end this... You wanted to end it on a nice, quiet day decades from now. You knew you would be the first and only one to go, which was better because you couldn't bear being without him...you wanted to wake up one last time to see his ageless face asleep next to yours...hear the birds...see the golden sunlight of a summer's day... And close your eyes one last time....
That's how you wanted it to end.
Not like this.
Not for anyone.
"Leo, I have to tell you something..." you confessed. He looked worried, but tried to hide it with a smile. You knew better by now. "It wasn't Khione. It was never Khione. All along it was-"
"I know. You don't have to say it..." Pain had breeched his eyes, and he didn't even try hiding it now. Tears flooded into his eyes, and he hid his face in the crook of his elbow which rested on his knees
"I had that dream, too, only I saw your reactions," he said, his voice hiding emotion, but staying calm.
Jason and Percy looked at each other, confused, but Annabeth just looked at them sadly and softly said one word;
"Calypso."

**update on my homecoming date if any of you were wondering; he said yes!❤️**
