Secrets- Percy Jackson one-shots

Smoking

Warnings:Smoking

During the Sevens time on the Argo2*

Percy was stressed, he didn't have any idea how they were going to to stop Gaea and he desperately needed something to get his mind off everything. So while he was alone he pulled the small pack from his pocket along with a lighter. He pulled a cigarette out of the box and held it between his lips as he tried to light the lighter. Percy cursed under his breath as he realized that it was out of juice.Putting the cigarette back in the box he began to think.

The only other source of fire on bored was a certain son of Hephaestus.Leo. Percy peaked out of his room to make sure no one was there,especially Annabeth, Gods she would kill me if she found out. He quickly and quietly made his way down to the engine room where he knew Leo would be and Percy was right, Leo stood in the middle of the room, he was wearing a welders helmet and sparks were flying as he connected two pieces of metal together. "Hey, Leo." Percy said as casually as he could.

Leo froze and flipped up the helmets mask. They both stood there awkwardly, Percy and Leo weren't the absolute best of friend but,Percy was becoming more stressed by the moment and he just needed to have a smoke, "Can you do me a favor?" Percy asked, breaking the tension.

"Umm sure." Leo replied

"Okay first off you have to keep this a secret," He said looking Leo in the eyes, "Secondly can you make tiny fire for me please?"

"Wait,why do you want this to be a secret?" Leo asked confused, "And why do you need a fire."

"You'll see soon," Percy sighed, as he pulled the box back out of his pocket, while also concealing the contents of it from Leo.

Leo lit a small fire in the palm of one of his hands and Percy smiled in relief and he lit the cigarette, "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa!" Leo's eyes widened and he quickly extinguished the flame, "You smoke?!"

Percy pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "Yeah." He said before taking a puff, "You don't mind if I stay down here do you?"

"H-how long have you been smoking?" Leo asked with an unusually serious expression.

"I started when I was ten." Percy said grimacing as he did.

Leo choked on air, "What, Why?"

Percy sighed taking another puff and blowing some smoke rings before saying, "My first step-dad smoked a lot and curiosity got the best of me one day and I stole some of his cigarettes. He was took drunk to notice I ever did, and I dunno it just kinda happened since then.I mostly only do I when I'm stressed though."

"Sooo,what are you stressed about?" Leo asked.

"Thewar." Percy stated simply

"Oooh ya, I forgot about that." Leo mumbled

"How do you just, forget about a war."

"I dunno I get distracted easily." Leo shrugged.

Percy chuckled and finished his cigarette, "So you promise to keep this a secret?" He asked tossing it in the trash, "Cuz' so far you're the only one that knows."

"I guess I can do that, but if it slips out don't blame me. Blame the ADHD."

Percy shot Leo a smile, "So whatcha working on?"

Leo's eyes brightened and he began this long description about his most recent project.
