Leo Valdez. That stupid name. Ever since those lessons Annabeth gave him, he's been a know-it-all assbag. You're smart! You know things! What's worse is the fact that you like him.
It's true. His adorable cheeky grin, his curly hair, his bright, happy eyes. He was amazing. All the way up until Annabeth becoming his tutor. It doesn't matter now. Aphrodite has you head over heels for him and he still doesn't notice you. So you play it off to be like you're annoyed by is lovable self.
You were on your way to the dining pavilion for dinner when a certain annoying latino popped up in front of you.
"Hola Princesa!" He smirked.
You scoffed and rolled your eyes. You didn't have time for this. "Leo, could you not? I'm kinda hungry." You spoke with a defensive tone.
Leo just smirked with a menacing chuckle as he draped an arm around you. "Princesa, I have an issue. And I fear that you are the only one left to help me."
You knit your brows together and looked at him, confused. No no, confused wasn't a proper word. Damn...what was that word..?
Little did you know, that while you were thinking of a word for your emotion, Leo was explaining something.
Finally, the word hit you. You slammed your fist onto your palm, "I got it!!"
Leo took interest into your sudden outburst and looked over at you once again. "Oh, have I-"
"Annoyed!!"
Leo was taken aback by your comment. He nearly flipped out, "Hey, I try!!!"
While Leo was having his little freak out, you snuck past him to the pavilion. Your tummy rumbled. You could almost hear it's distant "Feed me... feed me..."
Oh your poor stomach. You sat at the (g/p) table, ready to fill the bottomless pit within your abdomen. Your sibling (s) soon sat down around you and began to get food.
Once you were given a plate, you almost chowed down. But you had to offer a part of it to the gods. Which sucks.
Sitting down again, you start to stuff your face with (f/f) (favorite food). It wasn't long before your plate was nearly empty. Your attention was moved from your food to your sibling, who had tapped your shoulder.
"What?" You asked. They pointed to the ground near you where a Leo Valdez was knelt. You facepalmed.
"Leo, go awa-"
"Princesa, (Y/F/N), will you go on a date with me?" He asked.
"Is this a part of your stupid plan?" You asked, quite annoyed, but at the same time you were trying your best not to blush. Leo winked, signifying a 'Yes.'
You rolled your eyes again and spoke, "Yes." The Aphrodite cabin broke out into a fangirl fit.
While everyone was distracted, you pulled Leo away to an unoccupied corner, "Listen, Alphabet Boy. I don't have time for your stupid jokes and pranks. Unlike you, I actually use my brain for useful things."
"Wow, rude. I'm smart! I can use my brain for good, too. But what's the fun in that?" He smirked.
"I hate you." You stated.
"You wanna kiss me as much as I wanna kiss you?" He quickly asked, a small hint of anxiety in his voice.
"Yes." You shot back. The next thing you saw was Leo leaning closer to you.
To be continued.
