Steam (Perleo Fanfiction)

Percy

He woke up on a couch, cuddling what felt like...a pillow?  Whatever it was, it was super comfortable and warm, which made him not want to move at all. His eyes adjusted to where he was and his brain started to process why. He was in Bunker 9, on the couch, it was early in the morning and he was holding-- he was holding Leo! Percy was just a little bit panicking, not knowing what to do. Percy looked down at the younger boy, who has curled up to him also, looking so peaceful. Percy found himself meeting two pairs of brown eyes.

"Good morning..." Leo mumbled into Percy's shirt. 

"Morning," Percy replied, smiling softly at the smaller boy. Leo smiled back at him until he realized what was going on. The Latino quickly flushed, quickly sitting up. They both stared at each other from the other ends of the couch, flushed like tomatoes. 

"S-sorry, I didn't think this through, I should have put you in your own bed--"

"No, it's alright!" Leo quickly yelled, quickly regretting that because he sounded so desperate. 

They both stood in awkward silence, staring into each other's eyes, tints of red on their cheeks. Percy didn't realize how close they were slowly getting. One minute they were on opposite sides of the couch, next they were nearly nose to nose, each of their breaths softly hitting the other's lips.

"Per-Percy...I need to tell you something..." Leo softly whispered, those wonderful big brown eyes staring into his sea-green ones. 

"Then tell me..." Percy replied, still whispering. Percy glanced down at Leo's soft lips, wanting to kiss them so badly. Then Percy paused, he looked at how close he was to Leo,thinking about how he just wanted to kiss him, how he woke up cuddling with him. Leo noticed the hesitation in Percy then quickly regretted it. Percy was not going to allow that, so he grabbed Leo's hand and surged forward, crashing their lips. Leo was shocked, to say the least, but he took this opportunity and kissed back, eyes fluttering close like Percy's. The older boys' hand found it's way to Leo's waist and the smaller boys hands found their way to Percy's hair. 

Percy really, really enjoyed this, then smiled into the kiss.  Sadly, oxygen was important so the two pulled away, grinning like idiots. "What were you going to say?" Percy asked him. 

"I-I think- no. I know that I am n love with you. I know this is quick and we just started doing this but--"

"I think I love you too, Leo." Percy blurted out. Percy thought the grin that spread out on Leo's face was absolutely adorable. 

"I'll meet you a bit after breakfast?" Leo asked.

"Hopefully sooner." Percy smiled, kissing Leo's cheek, grabbing his jacket and slipping on his shoes , he then walked out.

"Oh my Gods, Jason. It was so flipping awesome! I know it's really soon but it felt so right, ya know?" Percy said. He was ranting all his feelings out right after he left the Bunker. 

Jason nodded, smiling while Percy told his story about the sleepover and how it all happened. He shipped Percy and Nico, but then that ship sunk when Nico started to date Will, but he supported them too. Percy was pouring all his feelings out and man, did it feel so relieving. Percy still couldn't believe that that just all happened. He is in love with Leo, he kissed Leo and most importantly they both enjoyed it! If Percy was in a dream and woke up, he will be super pissed. Thankfully, he already asked Jason to pinch him when he got there and nothing changed.

"Wait. You both kissed, said you were in love with each other but didn't ask him out? Percy what the hell?!" Jason said because none of that made sense to him. Percy paused, thought about it and facepalmed himself. How could he be such an idiot? Although it was just one small make out, he might wait a bit longer to see what would happen. 

"I'll ask him out soon, I promise, alright?" Percy replied.

"You better, or I will for you."

                                                                                       ---

Percy went to breakfast, seeing the Latino laughing with his siblings. This brought a smile to the son of Poseidon's face as he went to receive his breakfast. He got his blue pancakes with his blue milk and sat down eating his meal. After he burned the scraps of his food, he was about to walk out until he felt a hand grab his wrist. He quickly turned around to see the small Latino he loved smiling up at him. 

"We still planned for later? If you don't want to it's--"

"Yes, we can go now actually." Percy smiled then held Leo's hand instead as the two walked t the Bunker, enjoying each others' company.
