Leico Valdangelo just another heartache

Leo

'Literally fuck my life so hard I swear to the gods' Leo thought while lying in his bunk.

Why did he have to finally lose his shit when Nico was singing? Zeus' beard Neeks had a flawless voice. But seriously he had been holding in all day -all this hurt and sadness- just to have it come pouring out when he heard that angel's voice. Somehow Leo even felt like that song was meant for him in a way.

He rehashed how fucking cheesy he was: saying how Nico should smile more often and how good of a singer he is. But damn. It's true though. Nico is basically flawless in his own dark, tortured way. Leo really wanted to know what he looks like when he was asleep, how his hair looks when he gets out of the shower, the first thing he says or does in the morning, and if he writes music or taps his fingers to the beat of songs...

Oh gods.

Leo felt like he was falling in love or something. It was terrifying.

He couldn't sleep, but he couldn't think of anyone to talk to. Hazel goes to sleep early, Jason and Piper probably having angry demigod make up sex, Frank is praetor of New Rome and won't accept an iris message from Leo anyway, but there is one person..

'Nope Nope Nope.' Leo thought, but the next thing he knew he was outside walking to the lake again.

'He's probably not even here' Leo tried to convince himself. 'He's probably in his Cabin asleep.'

Then he noticed the figure sitting in the pale moonlight. He was sitting in a relaxed position with his legs splayed out in front of him. His dark hair looked silver because it caught the moonlight just right. His head was tilted upward like he was gazing at the moon and stars but didn't want to lay down.

Leo wondered if he should say anything or just turn around. Maybe he'll scare Nico off and he'll shadow travel to who the fuck knows where..

'Fuck everything.'

Leo walked up to him, not wanting to be too loud but wanting him to know he was there.

"Hey." He said softly as he sat down next to him.

Nico didn't look that surprised to see him.

"Hi." He replied evenly, as he looked back up at the sky.

"Couldn't sleep?" Leo asked.

"Yeah." He answered.

"Nightmares?"

"Nah, just can't sleep sometimes." Nico admitted, never taking his eyes off the stars.

"Hm." Leo murmured as he lie down flat on his back.

"You?" Nico asked as he followed Leo's example.

"I guess I just needed someone to talk to."

"About?"

"I'm just really confused right now. The girl I thought was the one, you know..she never cared in the first place and had no faith in me." Leo shuddered. "And the only other person I care about like that is just right here but I don't know what to do now."

"You realize that if you tell this person how you feel Leo...that they might be able to help and fix all the rest, right?"

Leo smiled wistfully. "Maybe." He sighed "If I could get the courage to tell them who they are to me in the first place..."

Leo doesn't really know how it happened next, but the his next coherent thought was completely drowned out by the fact that Nico di Angelo was straddling him and kissing him passionately.
