Steam (Perleo Fanfiction)

Leo

Leo was terrified. He didn't want to leave the bed or cabin because he didn't want the twins to beat him up again. He didn't want to make the weapons either or put his home in danger. If he did he would never be able to forgive himself, Percy and his friends would be the most disappointed. How would he deal with his? Could he even fix this? His thoughts were cut off by the arm that wrapped around his waist and pulled him closer. "G'morning..." Percy mumbled into his shoulder. How could Leo not smile at that?

"Morning, sleepy head." Leo said and fiddled with the blanket, ADHD kicking in. "Sleep well?" he asked the son of Poseidon quietly. "Not really...Leo we need to talk." Oh, how Leo wished Percy never said those words. In movies Leo has watched, those words always lead up to breaking up.  "Sure..." he mumbled but was screaming and panicking on the inside. "When?" Percy shrugged and kissed Leo's temple. "I would say now but...it's Saturday and I wanna cuddle." he mumbled. Leo rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Let's just get it out of the way. " The Latino mumbled and Percy sighed in response. "I know why you had that bruise yesterday and you were late to lunch and...Leo, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Leo frowned and shrugged, "I wasn't allowed to tell you..." he mumbled, "I can handle it myself..." No he couldn't. Percy sat up on his elbows, eyebrows furrowed, "Leo, I saw the fight in my dream. It definitely didn't look like you could handle that." Leo got confused by that. Was Percy saying he couldn't handle himself? "Um, what?"

"I'm saying that it looked like you could hardly stand up and handle those hits. I just want to protect you, Leo." Leo pouted in response and sat up, "I can handle myself, thanks. I don't need your protection to live!" He didn't mean to raise his voice, he honestly didn't, but it pissed him off that Percy seemed to think he couldn't handle fights. "Leo, that's not what I meant to--"

"No! It's exactly what your saying! I may be small and scrawny but I know what I'm doing!" Leo yelled and huffed, getting out of bed. "I just want to help Leo!" "Well, dammit Percy, I never asked for your help! I don't need it either and I know what I'm doing!" he growled. Percy glared at him, "I'm sorry for wanting to protect you, make sure you're okay and I wish you would've told me! I want us to be happy! " Leo shoved on his shoes,  "If you wanna be so happy and protective, go back to Annabeth." he said and looked at Percy. He stared and clenched his fist, "I left her for you! I had feelings for you and you're seriously thinking that?! Gods, it's no wonder Calypso left you!" Percy paused and stared. Leo stared back and started to tear up, "Leo, I didn't mean--" "No. No, you know what Percy? Screw you." He snarled and left the cabin.
