Steam (Perleo Fanfiction)

Percy

The sight of Leo storming off was what hurt the most. He stared at the ceiling with a huge headache from crying so much. Annabeth and Jason had brought him meals. Percy asked that if they were taking care of Leo too as they set down his food. "He won't answer. He just keeps telling us to leave and that he's working." Jason responded. Percy had frowned and they assured him he had to be eating something. They left Percy alone and he forced himself to eat his meal. Not even the blue cheered him up. All he could think of was how Leo was locking himself up.

He lay in the dark room, the water from his fountain the only thing that was heard. Percy wondered if Leo was even sleeping. He wouldn't surprised if he was. The boy got very sleepy after non-stop working. Percy cracked a small smile at the thought of Leo working and Percy just fondly watching him. He was so cute being so concentrated in his machines. Percy kept having to remind him to take a break, which Leo would argue slightly but would still end up cuddling into Percy.

Percy began to tear up and chew on his lip. He missed the small Latino next to him that would constantly like to whine for hugs and snacks. Percy began to cry and sit up. He rubbed his eyes with the heels of hands harshly. "Go to sleep already..." He groaned. His nose was stuffed, making it hard to breathe. Percy reached for the tissue box Piper had brought him and blew his nose. He tossed it into the bin once he finished and lay back down. This was all his fault and he had to fix it somehow.

Percy woke up and whined at the knocking. "Leo...?" he mumbled. "Percy get dressed. You're going to eat at the pavilion." He frowned at the voice of Annabeth. "Alright...I'll be dressed in 10." "Good," she said before what he assumed, left. Percy pulled himself out of bed and dragged himself to his drawer. He pulled himself on his CHB shirt and regular jeans then continued his morning routine. Percy squinted at the sudden brightness as he stepped out of his cabin. He sighed and left to get breakfast. Percy would be lying if he said he wasn't looking for Leo. Percy just wanted to see how he was doing. He missed those curly locks and almond shaped eyes. He got regular colored pancakes with orange juice.

"Wow...I haven't seen you eat uncolored food in a while." Annabeth smiled. Percy just sighed, "Yeah, well...I guess I'm not really in the mood for blue. Instead of actually being it." The blonde girl frowned and sat down across from him. "Perce...I heard what happened." "Aphrodite cabin?" "Well, obviously. But look, I can't really understand what you're going through but...I can tell you it's going to be alright." Percy nodded and took a deep breath. "Just do something to get your mind off of it." "You're right, as always." Annabeth smiled, "Duh." Percy smiled at well.

"Leo!" Piper yelled from across the pavilion, running over to him and hugging him. Percy's eyes widened and he looked back at the entrance. Leo was staring back at Percy and Annabeth. He bit his lip and clenched his fists, storming out and away from Piper's grasp. Percy quickly got up and ran after him. Annabeth frowned and sighed, going to her table with guilt.

"Leo! I was looking for--" "Oh, just save it!" Leo barked. "Wha-What?" Percy mumbled. "So-So the second I leave, you go back to Annabeth?! Was I just a distraction from her?" Percy's eyes widened, "Of course not!" "Then what was that? Just casual lovey-dovey staring and smiling? Gods, I-I can't believe I fell for all your crap! I'm glad I freaking left you!" Leo yelled and stormed off. Percy's heart shattered and watched him leave again. He whimpered and cried. Not again. Leo can't leave me again!
