PJO & MCGoA fanfiction- Unexpected Connections

13

My dream was very similar to the one I had the other night. With the gold vision. I was in the same stadium place with the monsters. Except, the monsters were dead silent and Percy was standing across from me. He looked scared. I wanted to ask him what was wrong but I couldn't talk. He was talking. I couldn't hear him completely but his voice sounded like he was underwater. Kind of murky and hard to make out. He seemed to be telling me to stop, over and over again. I was so confused. I wasn't doing anything... yet part of me was. I heard a voice in my head telling me what to do. It was my voice but it was saying awful things that I would never say.

I woke up crying and shaking. I'm not sure why, but that dream got to me. I felt scared and helpless. Sitting next to me was Leo. He looked concerned. I saw him and I flung my arms around him and sobbed into his shirt. I felt safe around him. I knew he would comfort me. As I cried, he stroked my hair and whispered comforting things and tried to get me to calm down.

I eventually stopped crying and Leo looked down at me. "Bad dream?" He quietly asked.

I was too scared to talk, in fear that I would start crying again. I just nodded my head.

Leo looked like he was thinking. "Well, if you need me. Just call me." He hugged me, stood up, and made his way to the door.

I was embarrassed to ask but I did. I choked out a sentence. "Will you stay?"

He turned around and looked at me. He sweetly smiled and nodded. I scooted over to the other side of the bed and he crawled in. He put his arm around me and I laid my head down on his chest. I felt his chest rising and falling as he breathed. He was really warm too.

There was a silence, but it was comfortable. I eventually asked, "How did you know to come in here?"

He didn't say anything for a moment. "I don't know; I just knew something was wrong. I knew you needed someone. So I got out of bed and I walked up to your door. I knocked but you didn't answer so I just went in." He abruptly stopped and rubbed the back of his head. "I'm sorry I just barged in. I just felt the need to. Something in me was saying that you weren't... okay."

He knew that I wasn't okay. So he came to check on me. He's so sweet. I reached over and slightly squeezed his hand. "Thank you. No one has really cared for me like that."

"Anytime, amor"

And with that, I dozed off to sleep.
