A Different Reality (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chp 103 - Leo's POV

A/N: Who would see this coming? After months of writer's block, I'm on a roll. So much inspiration I wrote almost 5k of words in two days, includind a Leo's POV. There, more than 2k of words in a Leo's chapter. Knock yourself out.

SUNDAY

"Leo, I swear to the Styx, if you touch me again, I'll push you from the car in high speed."

Leo rolled his eyes, but believed Nico's whisper and scooted closer to his own window.

He's no fun.

He never was.

Not even as a kid?

Don't know, didn't meet him as a kid. We can ask Percy or Annabeth, they should know.

He glanced at Nico again, but something caught his eye.

What is that?

Where?

There, behind Nico.

He went to reach, just to be stopped by Nico's menacing voice.

"Leo..."

He raised his hands in surrender, slowly approaching.

"I just want to get something that is behind you, I promise I won't touch you."

He reached and got the square that was calling for him. Nico watched it curiously.

"What is it?"

"No idea, it looks like... oh, a sketch book."

What does our mighty captains draw?

This is what I want to know.

"Leo, I think that is private..."

Leo ignored Nico and flipped through the pages, still stopping in a portrait. He grinned before saying out loud.

"Well well well... looks like our captain likes to spend his time sketching his muse..."

All the other three people inside the car spoke at the same time.

"What?"

Nico's voice was curious, Ryan's was of someone who wasn't really paying attention before, and Niel's was slightly scared. He was the one to glance back and see what Leo was holding and his eyes widened when he looked to his uncle curious expression, before setting them back at the road.

"LEO! Put that back where you found it!"

Ryan turned his body to look at the sketch book.

"Muse? Does Niel has a girlfriend?"

He narrowed his eyes at his nephew before smirking.

"Does my sister knows about her? Or should I tell her?"

Niel took a deep breath to collect himself, but Leo could see he was still nervous.

"There is nothing to tell mom about. I don't have a girlfriend."

Just because he can't do much beside stutter when he's around her.

Leo nodded.

"He's telling the truth; she is just his muse. He's too much of a chicken to ask her out and turn her into his girlfriend, so he settles to draw her over and over."

Niel adjusted his rearview mirror so he could glare at Leo through it. Leo only grinned back. Nico was staring at the portrait.

"I've seen her around school... isn't that girl that is friends with Will and Pi...Trish? What was her name?"
