Just Keep Moving (Leo Valdez x reader)

Chapter 9

Your POV

I woke up in my bunk with no clue how I got there. Most of my siblings were up so it was probably around 8 in the morning. "Hey Travis?" I called out to my brother who was making some water balloons nearby. "Morning Y/N! What's up?" He said with his usual mischievous grin. "I was just curious if you remembered how the heck I got in my bunk yesterday." I said. "Oh! Ummm... Leo sorta carried you and uhh... tucked you in." He said emphasising the last part. "What do you mean by tucked me in, Travis?" I asked with a little bit of anger making it's way into my voice. "Oh uh... Nothing sis!" Travis said too quickly. "Travis..." I gave him a hard look. He flinched and quickly said "Well I gotta go sis! We can talk later bye!!!" He started to walk off quickly, but not before I got up and nailed him in the back if the head with a water balloon. He spun on his heel with mischief in his eyes, and said "Oh it's on." Then he came and wrestled me to the ground. "Don't try me Travis." I said smiling and knocked him off of me grabbed an armful of water balloons and ran out the door shouting "Water balloon fight!!!" Then I got an idea. I ran over to cabin 9 and shouted "Leo!!! Help!" With the best scared voice I could muster. He was out seconds later. His brown curls stuck out in all directions and he was still in his pajamas. "Y/N!?! What's wrong? Are you ok?" He asked rapid fire questions. "I'm fine Leo calm down. I was just worried I wouldn't be able to do this." I said leaning in. He froze and started to lean in also, closing his eyes. "Sorry Flameboy!" I whispered softly in his ear. "Wha-" he started, but then I threw the water balloon and laughed as he stood there shocked and soaking wet. "As much as I want to stay and laugh, Leo. I believe I owe your friend Jason a visit!" I said dashing off. About time I get to have some fun! I thought to myself smiling as I ran towards the Zeus Cabin.

Leo's POV

I was fast alseep when I woke up to shouting. "Leo!!! Help!" It was Y/N and she sounded scared. I pushed past my siblings and bolted out the door. "Y/N!?! What's wrong? Are you ok?" I asked quickly, trying not to panic. "I'm fine Leo calm down. I was just worried I wouldn't be able to do this." She said leaning in. I froze, my heart beating so loud I was positive she heard it. I started to lean in too and closed my eyes. Oh gods!!! Is she gonna kiss me? Don't catch on fire. Don't catch on fire. Keep your cool Leo! I felt her soft breath hit my ear as she whispered "Sorry Flameboy!" Wait... Sorry? "Wha-" I started to ask and next thing I know I was drenched. I wasn't sure how to react so I just stood there with a dumb expression on my face while she laughed  hysterically. Once I fully registered what happened she said "As much as I want to stay and laugh, Leo. I believe I owe your friend Jason a visit!" Then she dashed off. I couldn't help but stare after her. "She's got me wrapped around her finger and she doesn't even know it..." I said with a dreamy expression. "You seriously think she likes you, Mr. Grease Stains?" A snobby voice exclaimed behind me. "I wasn't talking to you, Drew." I said not even looking at her. "Oh so you were talking to the girl who'll never like you back! Have fun with that!" She said with her high pitched obnoxious voice. Then she walked past me to the Pavilion. I sighed and sat down the steps knowing as much as I hated her, she was right. Even though I knew Y/N didn't like me I couldn't help but feel light headed. She came so close to me... The thought made my head spin. Soon Jason walked over to me, also soaked. "I see you ran into Y/N." I said, grinning at Jason. "Yeah, you gotta control your girlfriend, Valdez." Jason said, annoyed. "G-girlfriend?" I stuttered. My cheeks heated up and I felt my ears burn. Jason laughed at my response. "Stop that!" I mumbled. "Come on Leo, let's get you cleaned up." Jason said still slightly grinning at my blushing. "Well I can't help being a hot mess!" I said grinning. Jason facepalmed. I got up and grabbed a change of clothes. Then I followed Jason to the showers, replaying the almost kiss in my head. She has become a lot more affectionate lately...

Your POV

I ran towards Jason's Cabin still laughing at Leo's stunned expression when I ran off. He almost seemed sad... Y/N! No! He was just stunned cause you whipped a water balloon at his face. I scolded myself. Then I arrived at Jason's Cabin. "Jason!" I yelled. "One second Y/N!" He replied before coming outside a moment or two later. As soon as he walked outside I hit him with the balloon and bolted. I ran into the woods and found myself in a clearing. I heard a rustle in the juniper bush behind me. "Who's there?" I snarled, placing my water balloons on the ground and drawing my dagger. "I don't mean you any harm Ms. Well I've actually never seen you before! Are you new at Camp?" A girl with green skin asked. "Yeah I'm new, my name's Y/N. And who are you?" I asked without lowering my blade. "I'm Juniper! Grover's girlfriend!" She told me seeming happy at the mention of this Grover person. "Who's Grover?" I asked. "Grover the Satyr? Battle of Manhattan? Second Titian War?" She questioned as if trying to remind me of something. "I'm sorry, I really don't have any idea what you're talking about." I said honestly. "Could you tell me about it?" I asked, lowering my dagger. "Of course! You might want to sit down though, this is a long story! Grover come here! I want you to help me tell this new half-blood about your adventures!" Juniper yelled. A satyr with ginger hair appeared. I sat down by my water balloons and started fiddling with my dagger. Soon they began talking, telling me of perilous journeys to the underworld, the Sea of Monsters, and eventually the epic Battle of Manhattan.

(Time Skip to after you learning about Percy, Annabeth, and Grover's adventures)

"You're so cool!" I announced feeling like a little kid compared to Grover. Juniper laughed and so did Grover. "You better head back to Camp." Grover said to me. "Yeah..." I let out a yawn and my stomach growled. I found my way back to Camp and managed to make it to the Pavilion with the rest of my cabin (we were always running a little late). I ate quickly and then got up to head to my cabin when I heard frantic footsteps running towards me. I turned just in time for Leo to crush me into a hug. "Ack! Leo!" I yelled. I could feel myself unwillingly melting into his warm embrace. "Gods Y/N! I had no idea where you were! You can't just disappear like that! I-I thought you had run away..." He stuttered towards the end. "Leo calm down." I soothed. "I spent the day talking to Grover and Juniper because somebody forgot to tell me about the Second Titian War!" I poked him in the chest angrily. Then I let out a huge yawn. Well there goes my awesome angry effect. I thought to myself,slightly disappointed. "Someone's tired!" Leo teased. "Whatever, Valdez." I mumbled. I squirmed my way out of his embrace. "Goodnight Repair Boy." I said feeling drowsier by the second. "Goodnight Little Thief!" He said smirking at my half asleep glare. "I'm not little!" I protested weakly. "Sure you aren't." He teased before giving me a gentle shove in my cabin's direction. "Night!" I mumbled again and starting walking towards my cabin. "Night Y/N!" He replied and I could've sworn I heard him whisper something quietly, but I was too tired to think about it. Instead I stumbled into my cabin and collapsed onto my bunk. My last thought before I drifted off to sleep was: Crap! I forgot to interrogate Travis!
