A New Arrival (Heroes of Olympus/Leo Valdez Fanfiction)

This is It

Disclaimer: I do not own Heroes of Olympus! Rick Riordan does, all rights and things like that go to him! All the bold bits are me, not the story, apart from the titles. Sorry, this ones quite short but I wanted to do this part of the day from Leo's point of view. There's a bit of River Song in there because she is awesome!

The Same Day as Nothing Special

Leo

Percy comes up to me.

"Hey Leo."

"Hey."

"So when you gonna ask Isobel?"

"What?" I ask, hoping he doesn't know what I think he knows.

"Come on. It's obvious you have a crush her. You have since the day she came here. You HAVE to ask her out. She deserves to know she's loved. She thinks she's nothing special." He explains. I stare at him blankly.

"Tonight."

"What?"

"Tonight. After the party. Ask. Her. Out." He goes off to Annabeth. It wasn't that obvious was it? Well hopefully not, Isobel doesn't know. How does Percy know though. I heard Annabeth had been dropping hints since they were twelve and he only got it when they were sixteen. Which I am now.

I've been trying to hide my crush but today, when Isobel said she could kiss me I muttered 'I wish you would' and when we were dancing

Isobel and I spent the rest of the party dancing together until nine o'clock when the party finished. Chiron said as it was a special occasion we had until half past ten until we had to be in our cabins. He winked at me. What. Was. Going. On? I decide to do the weird, terrible English thing I did earlier.

"May I take you for a walk, my lady?" I ask holding my arm out for her to hook her's around. She giggles. Her cute giggle. Without thinking I pull the hairband out of her hair. Surprisingly she doesn't ask for it back and just shakes her hair to stop the dent from where her hair had been up all day. I love her hair down, all curly and big. We find a log on the beach and sit on it. This is it.

"Hey. Er. Isobel?" I hesitate.

"Yeah?" She looked confused.

"Will you go out with me?" I murmur.

"Sorry?" She questions in her gorgeous accent.

"Will you go out with me?" I ask clearly this time.

"You have to say yes you know." Percy's voice says from out of a bush.

"What?" Isobel questions, "You were spying on us?"

"Yep." Annabeth laughs from behind a tree.

"I don't believe you lot." I act unimpressed though somehow happy. Isobel turns to me.

"Well Leo," She teases, "Spoilers". And she runs off. Boy to I love that girl.

They are so cute!
