A/N: I was thinking of starting a criminal Leico book based off my one-shots I made a while back, would any of you guys actually read it? 

Leo's P.O.V 

I walk through the streets and sigh, the rain gently beginning to drop. I look around and decide to head towards Jason's. I see couples and my heart winces and I hold back tears. I walk faster and I hear the voice. That soft tone...that musical voice. I look up and see Nico with some new guy...my mind races and his smile is wider than I have ever seen and he is laughing with the guy and my heart clutches and I watch as the blonde guy wraps his arm around Nico and he leans in and they walk together into a bar. I follow and grab a beer and watch as Nico chuckles and the guy tells him something and I sigh and grab another beer and walk out, heading nowhere...aimlessly wandering trying to out walk my thoughts. I see the apartment and I shake the thoughts and I get a text off Jason and sigh. I put it back in my pocket and walk back to my home. The place feeling bare, yet it's filled with my machines...the only things that actually love me. I just take off my shoes and head into bed, not caring about the mess or eating. I shiver at the coldness and the lack of someone next to me and I hold back tears as I go to sleep. 

"Leo?" I hear Nico says and I look at him from my machines. I smile and hold out my arms and he sighs and I hold him close and kiss his forehead and he sighs and looks into my eyes. I smile and feel the heat rise. I hold his hands and smile and kiss his cheek as he begins to talk and suddenly I see tears. I see my hands on fire and I pull away immediately. Nico looks at me and his hands. I begin to panic and I mend his hands and Nico cries. "Neeks, honey, does it hurt that bad? I'm so sorry" I say and Nico shakes his head. He doesn't look at me. "Leo, I can't..." Nico says and my heart clutches and I feel tears and try to make him look at me. "I didn't mean it Neeks, please, I am sorry...I wouldn't..." I say and Nico looks at me. "I can't keep getting hurt...you can't control it Leo, but I don't want you regretting every burn on my body...I am sorry" Nico says and he leaves and I grip the table to stable myself, the world full of happiness falling. 

I sit in Jason's apartment for his stupid party. I see Nico and he doesn't even notice me. I down my beer, the fourth one of the night. Piper sighs and heads over and she holds my shoulder and I just look at Nico, a glow around him that I've never seen before and I sigh. "Leo..." Piper says and I smile and hide my sadness as always. "What's up Pipes?" I ask and Piper sighs and she looks at me. "Leo, I know you're still...but one day you'll feel the spark and it'll be real" Piper says and I smile and grab a beer and take a sip. "Yeah, who can resist the Leo?" I say with a chuckle and Piper sigh. Nico looks at me and he smiles a little and I smile back. "He's happier, isn't he?" I say and Piper nods and she looks for Jason and I sigh, knowing she is confused on what to say. I need him...but he deserves better than me, everyone does. I'm not even bothered that he is moving on, I just was happier with him and he is happier without me like everyone in this room. After all who would ever love the lowly mechanic?
