A heavy sigh could be heard throughout the room. About the tenth within the last quarter hour. The blonde boy laying on one of the beds growled and turned with a glare, his fingers still tangled in the hair of his very half-naked and hickey-covered boyfriend.
"Okay, seriously. Stop this moping and pouting or I will kick your ass", growled the son of Apollo, shifting a bit to get a better glare. "You're ruining my making-out-with-my-boyfriend-mood."
"Leave him be", laughed his boyfriend, burying his nose in Will's hair. "Leo's having love-trouble."
The sighing Latino wrapped his arms around his knees and stared at the happy couple with the best wounded puppy eyes he could muster. So convincing in fact that even Will's glare died down. The blonde heaved a sigh of his own and stood to walk over to the Latino, resting a hand in a supporting manner on the smaller and younger teen's shoulder.
"Okay. I'm only going to ask once because I'm horny and demand my making-out-scession with Jake, so you better don't squirm around", declared Will sternly. "What's up, Leo?"
He punctuated every word especially, his sky-blue eyes staring intensely at the son of Hephaestus. Leo blushed slightly and tried to shrug it off, but the temptation was too great to deny. He really wanted to talk about it, but he was feeling way too awkward to dare to.
"Okay, so my kind-of-relationship with Jason had been great since that Christmas Eve at the Blofis' place...", started the son of Hephaestus in a soft voice.
"That kind of doesn't sound like trouble", noted the blonde with a warning eyebrow raised.
"I'm getting there!", exclaimed Leo hastily. "Okay, so... It's going pretty well, but still... Now that we get along better with Annabeth - what with her dating Piper and all - he... It's stupid, okay? It's just that... Whenever we are in the Zeus cabin, I catch him staring at that stupid photo of his sister, Annabeth and Percy Jackson... And whenever Annabeth is talking to Rachel or someone else about Percy, Jason would listen in intensely too..."
"Okay...", nodded the son of Apollo confused. "I'm still not getting it."
"This Percy, I haven't met him, but I've heard enough stories about him now... The gods? Nico, Travis and Connor? Do I have to spill it for you!", huffed Leo with a pout. "He has all those guys wrapped around his little finger and even those that are not in love with him seem to still love him! I know you two are overly worried for him too, so is like everyone else! And I've seen the pictures too, Percy is drop-dead gorgeous!"
"Still confused", voiced Will with furrowed eyebrows.
"Once we find Percy, Jason is going to leave me to be with him", blurted Leo out, sobbing slightly.
"Oh", nodded the blonde, finally understanding, then laughing. "You're ridiculous, Valdez."
"Thanks...", huffed the son of Hephaestus and curled together again. "I know I've been ridiculous for thinking that someone like the superb son of Jupiter would be with someone like me..."
The next thing he knew was a dull pain in the back of his head. Wincing slightly, he lifted his head to look confused at Will. The blonde was back to glaring irritated.
"You are being ridiculous, as in right now", repeated the son of Apollo. "Jason is a cold, isolated Roman. The only people he sticks around are you, Piper and Annabeth. And Annabeth is more like forced due to Piper. And even though he likes the girls well enough, the only one who gets to melt his heart are you. He's even blushing and sometimes even stuttering when he's around you. Which is like totally uncharacteristic for the stoic Roman. So don't you dare think crap like that he'll leave you or that he doesn't care enough about you."
