Have You Heard Of Leo Valdez?

Shopping.

Shopping was boring to you. You never liked the fact that you had to find something, take your clothes off, put it on, check yourself out, and put your clothes on back again, only to repeat everything.

The only fun part about all of this, was that Leo was with you.

Leo loved to shop with you, especially when you needed new clothes, because that meant trying new things on, and that meant you getting undressed.

Now of course, Leo would normally wait outside, but sometimes he would ask to come in.

Most of the time, he would be shunned. Other times, if he was lucky, he got to go in with you.

"I just want another persons thought, is all." She would say, trying to make it sound as un-dirty as possible.

It never really was dirty, just you taking off a shirt, Leo staring, you pretending to not notice, and putting another shirt on.

You would always ask, "How does it look?"

He would always reply, "I love it! But personally I liked you better with out it on." He would then wink seductively, as you smiled rolling your eyes.

This was one of those days, where all your clothes were either

To small

Falling apart

Or growing something on the inside.

So you got your mortal money and put it in your purse, putting on a tank-top and jean shorts for the warm sunny day.

You straightened your hair and grabbed your purse, walking out the door.

You went to the Hephaestus cabin, knocking for Leo.

"Leo? Leo I'm going to the mall if-" the door swung open to reveal a charcoaled face Leo Valdez.

"You want me to come?" He asked, his eyes filled with excitement.

"I mean, if you wanna." You said shrugging.

He nodded and went inside to change. After ten minuets of waiting, he came out in his usual clothes.

A white button down dress shirt, his suspenders holding up his cargo pants, and his combat boots, along with his tool belt.

He smiled, hooking his arms through yours, "Ready?" He asked, already starting to walk.

You transferred your arm down to his hand, and intertwined your fingers with his.

You walked side by side, all the way until you could call a cab.

You gave your best whistle, and soon enough a grumpy man in a yellow car awaited you.

Leo opened your door and you scrambled in, him right behind you.

Once you shut the door you said, "The mall on West Boulevard please."

He nodded and slammed his foot on the pedal weaving through traffic.

Terrified, you had a death grip on Leo's fingers.

You thought he was about to miss his turn, when he jerked the car to the right and slammed on the breaks.

You and Leo both fell forward, in a mess of teen.

" $10.75 " The taxi driver said, thrusting his hand out.

Once you straightened up, you shoved the money into his sweaty hand, and got out of the cab ASAP.

Leo brushed his pants off, sliding his hands into his pockets, staring at the building.

You sighed and started to walk in.

You truly hated the mall. Not just because you hated shopping, oh no, but the guys.

Seriously, their jaws would drop to the floor and they would start drooling over you like you were some smoking hot daughter of Aphrodite.

No, you were a simple daughter of (G/P) who had boring (E/C) eyes and boring (H/C).

This annoyed you and Leo greatly, as you crossed your arms, and Leo wrapped an arm lazily across your shoulder.

He pulled you close and whispered, "Don't worry. They can only look, not touch." His breath was on your neck, making you shiver.

You simply nodded, trying to regain focus as you walked into the first store...which just happened to be Victorias secret.

You forced Leo to wait outside, and made a quick in-and-out trip, soon grabbing leo by theorem and pulling him as far away from that death trap as possible.

Next, you went to a store you thought was at least decent.

Forever 21.

They had nice clothes at a nice price.

You got a few shirts and a few shorts to try on, and went to a changing room.

You looked back at Leo, just as you were about to enter, who had a pleading look in his eyes.

You sighed dramatically and waved him in saying, "Fine, but this is your last time, and I mean it!"

He chuckled, sitting down, muttering under his breath, "You always say that."

You closed the door, hanging all your clothes on a little hanger.

You always pretended Leo was not there, so that what you did.

You slipped off your shirt, back facing Leo, and grabbed the first one, pulling it on.

You ran your hands across the fabric, inspecting yourself in the mirror.

"You like it?" You asked, turning to Leo, who nodded, smiling a bit.

You proceeded to shop the whole day, going through the same routine.

You left the retched mall, and went back to camp half-blood, making Leo swear he wouldn't brag to his siblings.
