So You Let Her Go

Joy

Piper smiled happily, taking Leo's hand in her own as they strolled through the camp quietly. He glanced up, smiling as well and squeezed her hand

"Ya know, I love your hair" he murmured abruptly, stroking her head slightly. She gave him a look "There is nothing to love about my hair" She said, picking at strand. He lifted his hand and gave her a skeptical look "What do you mean? Its absolutely gorgeous..." Piper blushed and looked away, missing the smile that Leo gave her.

Suddenly his arms wrapped around her, his head resting on hers "You are absolutely stunning, in all ways. You gorgeous and are always ready lend a hand when needed. You just need to realize it, thats all" Piper smiled, her light pink cheeks turning brighter "T-Thanks, Leo" with that she returned his hug.

After staying like that for a while they pulled away and continued walking. Leo scanned the silent camp happily "Its so peaceful. We should take it in while we can before the stoll brother s wake up" he murmured, coming to a stop in front of a tree. As if reading his mind Piper sat down, strectching out her legs. Leo grinned, sitting beside her and picking up a daisy.

"Leo..." Pipers voice interrupted his concentration on his flower weaving. He glanced up, meeting her gaze "Yes?" She quickly looked away "Nothing... its just... you know I love you, right?" Leo blushed this time and nodded, taking her hand in his "Yes. I love you too, Piper"

She glanced down, plucking a blade of grass and began tying it in knots. He chuckled and placed his newly finished flower crown on her head "There. Now you're truly a queen." Piper jokingly hit his arm lightly then laughed

"I guess I am, aren't I?" She hopped up, striking a pose "Queen Piper of Flowermenia!" She grinned and looked down at Leo "And her loyal gardener Leo" he raised a brow "Just a gardner, am I?" She grinned before continuing "The Archduke of Gardenia" with that she fell back, both falling into a fit of laughter.

When they finally calmed down Piper quickly sculpted a crown of grass and placed on Leo's curls "There you go" He laughed again as they stood back up, heading back towards camp "Lets us leave our kingdom and search for food, yes?" He held his hand out to Piper, which she gratefully accepted with a nod "Yes please."

(Time skip brought to you by the stars. Hello)

Annabeth raised a teasing eyebrow at her friend before giggling "My, my, dont you seem happy. I wonder why?" Piper sent her friend a joking glare then laughed "Hmm, I am happy. Never been happier, actually" Annabeth smiled, sitting down on her friends bunk "That's good. I assume the reason behind this is Leo, eh?" Piper nodded, sitting down as well "Yeah, I dunno, I just seem to be in a good mood around him no matter what."

Annabeth nudged Piper's arm "Ooooh someone's in loveeee" she drew heart in the air, dodging a pillow from Piper. She grinned and hugged the pillow "Seriously, the hearts in your eyes when you look at him are almost visible" Piper shrugged, smiling "I could say the same for you and Percy"

Annabeth smiled and nodded "I suppose I do love him a lot. He's such a fool sometimes though..." her friend gave her a knowing smile "I know what you mean"

They both shook their heads, laughing. "Where is Percy anyways?" Piper asked, glancing at Annabeth, who gave her a deep sigh "He's swimming for the nth time this week. Can't blame him though, seeing as his father is Poseidon" Piper nodded "Cant really relate to you there. Leo has been spending more time with me than metal"

Annabeth gave her a teasing smirk "Thats cause you guys are still in lovey doe eyed stage. Just you wait" Piper shrugged nonchalantly "I will. Lets see who is right after, say, a week?" Annabeth nodded, completely confident "One week, and then you have to admit I am right"

Piper just smiled, taking back her pillow "Wouldn't be so confident if I were you, Annabeth" the latter just smirked before standing "Sure, sure. I'm gonna go check on seaweed brain, okay? See ya tomorrow"
Piper waved a goodbye then fell back on the bed grinning. She was one hundred percent sure she would be the one to win this, no matter what.
