After Nico and Leo practically wasted the day away playing video games, Leo realized he had promised to fix the electrical wiring in Chiron's room today. "I don't want to leave" Leo whined. "You have to. You promised L" Nico said. Leo smiled at his new nickname. Leo got up and pulled on his toolbelt. "So how do we get out of here?" Nico asked brushing his hands on his pants from the cheetos they were sharing earlier. "Elevator. Duh" Leo tapped his head. Did he actually think I wouldn't build an exit. It made him laugh just thinking about it. "What are you laughing about?" Nico asked following Leo into the elevator. "Nothing. Just my thoughts make me laugh. I'm very charismatic" Leo waggled his eyebrow at Nico. "You reeled me in L. Don't have to keep trying" Nico grinned. He loved being with Leo, even before they had been together. The elevator rose up to a spot in the corner of Leo's cabin then as it went back down the floor boards reappeared. "You are the man" Nico kissed Leo one more time before he opened the door where they had to act as if they were only friends.

Leo went up to the big house praying that it was just a minor electrical circuit issue. "Hey Chiron, You wanted me to check out the electric issues in your room?" Leo asked. "Actually I wanted to talk to you about paying a visit to camp Jupiter. They are having major issues with their bronze dragons and need you to go take a look at them. It's only a few days that you need to be there. I know how you feel about romans and how they feel about you," Chiron said that part softly "But none of your siblings there know how to fix them. Leo I am practically begging you. Please?" Chiron put his hands on his, hips? The horse part right below his torso.

Leo began his walk to find Nico. How the hell am I going to tell him? Leo spotted Nico reading, of all things, under a tree. "Hey" He smiled when he saw Leo. "I have to go to Camp Jupiter for a few days" Leo blurted. "Why?" Nico asked. "Their bronze dragons are going crazy. It seems I am the only one who can work their programming system" Leo shrugged sitting down. "Oh. I'll miss you" Nico told him. "I'm going to miss you more" Leo argued softly leaning against Nico. "When are you leaving" Nico asked putting his fingers tips of Leo's. "Tomorrow morning. You could come?" Leo suggested. "Will is there" Nico avoided saying the obvious, that he couldn't handle seeing Will at all. "Okay" Leo agreed softly.
