You wanted to talk, to be able to say something. But words drowned in your throat as if it were a well they couldn't escape.
You never even had a chance to confess your love for him.
———————————————
It had already been a week since Gaea's war and you still hadn't come out of your cabin.
Of all people, why did it have to be him?.
He had suffered enough in his life, he didn't deserve to die at 15.
Stupid Gaea and stupid prophecies.
Some one bursted into your cabin. You supposed it was your sibling, who had been bringing you food since you refused to eat.
You buried your head in the pillow and you covered yourself with the bedsheets
—Go away, S/n! I'm not hungry.
He ran to your bed and uncovered you. You pulled the sheets trying to stop him from doing so.
—No, Y/n, Y/n. You don't understand. We have to go.
—I don't want to go anywhere.
—Y/n please hear me out. You have to see this. Why can't you understand?
—Why can't you understand I lost the person I love a week ago!? I'm not going anywhere.
—He's back.
You stoped pulling.
—What?
—Leo. Leo's back, N/n.
—If this is a joke, S/n, I swear...
—I am not kidding, Y/n. I swear on the river Styx
You ran out the cabin
————————————————
(Let's pretend Leo never met Calypso)
The son of Hephaestus hopped off his metallic dragon, happy to be home again. He landed on the sand of the Long Island Sound and noticed the crowd surrounding him, staring at him in disbelief and shook.
—So...—he dusted himself—What did I miss?
—...
—Wow, what's with your faces? You look like you've just seen a ghost.
He laughed so hard at his own joke he almost fell. Everyone cracked up with him. The closest ones hugged him and a few people cried.
Leo was glad to be back, very glad. But there was someone he wanted to see. Where could she be?
——————————————————
Y/n struggled to get to Leo. It was very difficult and cost her a lot. There were too many people, but as they left it began to be easier.
When se finally reached her destiny she tackled her best friend in a hug.
Leo fell backwards with Y/n on top of him. Her soft hands held on to his shirt as she desperately sobbed in his chest.
There she was
The crowd scattered giving them some intimacy and soon they were alone.
Leo stroked his best friend's hair and wrapped his arm around her waist.
He would've given anything to stay like this forever.
A few minutes later Y/n straddled his hips, sitting on him. The sobs had stopped, but she was still crying a little, silent. Leo sat up and hugged her
—Don't ever do that to me again, Valdez.
He dried her tears, caressing her blushing cheeks with his had
—Never again
She leaned into his touch, enjoying the contact of the latino's skin with hers as much as possible.
—I've missed you so much...
—How can someone look so beautiful even when they're crying?
She didn't answer. Instead, she took a look at his beautiful chocolate eyes and then gave him a sweet, but short kiss
Leo's eyes widened and he stayed still, not being able think properly.
The girl he loved had kissed him.
Y/n had kissed him.
—I love you, Leo Valdez—She whispered.
—I love you too...
They smiled like idiots and Y/n leaned in for another hug, but Leo stopped her, unsatisfied.
—Actually... I-I was hoping we could do the other thing again...
She frowned
—What other thing?
—Y-You know...—He blushed—The kiss thing...
He impatiently waited for an answer. Leo thought Y/n would slap him for being too direct or that she would ignore him, but she laughed and rested her forehead in his.
—Sure thing, flame head
And they melted into another sweet kiss.
But this time, longer
