Leo Valdez X Reader | Is It Mutual? | One Shots

the mystery girl

A/N this is inspired by himym (how I met your mother)

            You always had terrible nightmares. You knew all demigods did but it was like the gods decided that you were guilty for all their problems and the best way to punish you was giving you heart attacks in your sleep. That night you woke up screaming and you noticed that you were showered with cold sweat.  You slowly out your hand on your chest trying to take deep breaths. Your siblings looked at you concerned and one of them Bella scurried to your side. "Are you okay?" She asked her voice low. You stared at her with eyes wide open. "No...I don't think so..." You answered and as you noticed your voice was so raucous it was as if it was coming out of another person.
       

   "You know what father says 'after a shock there's nothing better-" Bella started "'by accepting it with your own way' I know... I will be heading out then" you continued and sat up dressing up while you were brushing your teeth. You didn't bother to fix your hair...it was a mess everyday anyways. You got your sword too even though you weren't much of a fighter it made you feel safer like a fake reassurance, like a teddy bear or a blanket to wrap around you in order to send the demons of your dreams away....but all demigods knew that the most dangerous demons they had were inside their own selves.
     

    You slowly opened the locked door of the cabin and walked out. You clenched your teeth by the sudden wave of chill summer  breeze caressing your silhouette. You got used to it eventually so you started walking slowly to the ancient Greek inspired theatre. No one was there and for some reason it made you feel peaceful. Your only company was the moonlight that was above you standing there with grace (ha, pun intended).  You sat on one of the white marble seats that seemed like they were crafted by silver cause of the moonlight reflecting on them. You inhaled deeply.  You felt your lungs filled with fresh air and you smiled.
       

      You decided that you would be less lonely if you summoned Draco. You slowly made your slender fingers dance and you softly closed your eyes. You opened them when you felt a familiar sensation on your leg. "Hello Draco, long time no talk" you greeted . The little snake just sticked out his tongue. You offered your hand so that he could slither up. You laughed. "How's stuff?" You asked him. He just hissed disapprovingly. "I see, no good" you mumbled. He nodded. You suddenly heard some metallic sounds and a groan of frustration. You turned your head and you noticed a figure on the other far of the theatre. You stared at that figure and your eyes narrowed . "Draco should I go near that person?" You whispered at your snake. He didn't answer as if he gone silent but it seemed to you that he smiled.... 'Of course he didn't smile he is a snake' you thought to your self. You walked to that person  and noticed he was too focused on the project the was working on, your steps made no sound it was as if you were a ghost roaming around.
       

        You noticed his characteristics. He was scrawny with scars here and there, his hair was dark brown curly and sure was a mess. His curls fell covered a part of his face and his skin had that Latino tan you always liked. *He is beautiful*. You thought. "Hi,may I sit?" You asked softly. The Latino almost jumped from the surprise. "H-hi, sure!"  He replied stuttering . You smiled and sat down next to him. You watched him as his slender fingers moved and tied and "played" with the machine. There was a crystal in the middle of the machine. You now noticed that it was an astrolabes. When Draco saw the crystal he hissed dismayed. Only then the boy noticed the snake in your arm. He somerseted backwards and he looked at you with wide eyes and then turned to look at the snake. "Uhm...sorry to scare you that's my snake Draco..." You explained. "Let me guess, Harry potter fan?" He asked. You nodded pleased that he got the reference.
     
   
         "You are a child of Hephaestus" you said mostly talking to yourself. "Yeah, and you are a child of-...?" He asked. "Asclepius, I didn't expect you to know" you said with a sad tone. He looked at you and his eyes showed sympathy . "I'm sorry I didn't know...it's just that I've never met a child of Asclepius…but that explains the snake... I've met your father" he muttered. You glanced up. "When?" You asked mystified. "In a mission I had to go." He answered. Then it struck you. "you are leo Valdez!?" You exclaimed. He burst out laughing and then a mischievous smirk appeared on his face. "I see you've heard about me!" He flirted and then added a wink. You blushed but you hoped that it wasn't visible in the night. "Yeah you got really famous after the quest and especially after you "died"" you answered flatly. He smiled. "What are doing with that astrolabes" you asked. His smiled flickered. "I am trying to pull the crystal out." He explained. You nodded even tho you  knew what had happened with him, the astrolabes and the goddess calypso. You could see his broken heart, an ability you had taken after your father, to see what troubled anyone.
         
   
    "Want me to help you?" You said and a devilish grin spread on your face. He gave you a crocodile grin showing you his pearly white teeth. "Sure!"
   
  
       When you managed to pull the crystal out he threw it down and with a huge THUNG the crystal teared in a million pieces. You broke out laughing and leo followed your example. Soon you were both on the floor clutching your stomachs.  You let your right hand fall next to you and then you felt another one cupping it and glanced. It was Leo's hand on yours. You composed your urge to squeel in happiness. How did you manage to catch feelings for that latino boy so soon? You glanced again at your hands and you caught Leo staring at you. You turned to look at you. He immediately blushed and attempted to take his hand away but you kept it down. "We have been talking for a while now but I don't know your name." He muttered awkwardly.
       
   
     "Maybe it's more interesting that way, don't you think!?" You exclaimed joyfully. "Why?" Leo looked at you puzzled "Cause then the mystery will be ruined! You will forget it as soon as I leave! Its not gonna be fun or special" you explained. Leo frowned. "Wrong, I would not forget your name!" He snapped. "Oh but yeah you will! However if you never know my name you will always remember that day when you met this 'mystery' girl!" You explained again. He didn't answered but questioned. "Can I at least kiss you?" You were surprised by the question. "Leo,The best part of any first kiss is the lead up to it. The moment right before the lips touch. It's like a big drum roll. So, how about tonight we just stick with the drum roll?" You said. He pouted but didn't say anything. You sat up and Leo did the same and you both leaned in. Your noses were touching and you could feel his warm breath hitting your lips. "Close your eyes" you whispered to his ear. He did as he was told but when he opened them you were not there anymore.
    

      

             ------------time skip-------------

      

       Leo was always in bunker 9 trying to understand who this girl was! He suddenly heard a knock on the door. His heart skip a beat as he raced to the door hoping it was that goddess-like girl he had met two weeks ago. When he opened it he saw piper and he felt disappointed but tried to hide it. "Hey pipes! Whattup?" He greeted her casually. "You are still looking for that girl?" She asked. "It drives me crazy! I can't stand this anymore! I don't even have her name! I've searched for her everywhere! I even asked the Asclepius children" He groaned.
          

   "You know I really like this story! Its so romantic, the boy who maniacally searches for the love of his life! I adore it!" She stated.  Leo glared at her. They talked for a while and then when piper left he decided to take a nap. In his dream he saw Aphrodite in the middle of a stormy ocean standing in a huge seashell.
   

   *Hello, my hero!* She spoke softly.

Aphrodite what are you doing here?

He asked frustrated.

I'm here cause of the story you are in

she replied .

It's so entertaining and amazing I haven't had such an interesting love story since percabeth happened.

she continued . Leo clenched his fists. His life was nothing else to the goddess than a romantic drama in the TV .

Oh,my hero, I'm so happy for you but be careful cos love has its twist and turns .

she spoke one last time and then vanished leaving leo in the stormy ocean slowly drowning.
           

     He woke up gasping for air. He made his way out of the bunker to get some fresh air. He walked to the theatre he first saw that girl with the (h/c)(h/l) hair and her (s/c) skin. His gaze fell on a dark silhouette standing there. He immediately ran to meet the figure.  When he reached enough to understand who it was he left a sigh escape his mouth.
     

   It was that girl. He ran and hugged her she turned surprised but then she beamed happilly.

     You felt someone hugging you and you turned to see who it was. It was leo! You have been waiting for that moment two weeks now. You hugged him back when you felt one pair of lips captivating yours. Your lips locked and they moved in sync. When you broke the kiss a satisfying smack was produced from the separation. "I have been searching for you!" Leo muttered . "I have been waiting for you" you muttered back. Your lips met one more time. "So what's your name mystery girl?" He asked finally expressing the question he had for so long. "(Y/n) (l/n)" you answered softly. He smiled satisfied "(y/n) (l/n),will you be my girlfriend?" He asked joyfully. "Yes my repair boy!" You said and hugged him.
