You think you know me. (Adopted)

Meeting Noah

 There's a message at the end.

Frank's POV:

Leo put on a happy, sarcastic ego. I never knew it was to hide the pain. It makes so much more sense now, why he always made jokes in the wrong times. Like that time he laughed at me for getting stuck in Chinese handcuffs. Leo just didn't want others to be miserable, to go through the things he did. 

Leo laid in his bed, he had woken up hours ago and sat staring at the room. The room was decorated with knickknacks, but it was a nice kind of clutter. Full of memories and warmth. He sat up and slowly began exploring the room's content. A china plate, a glass bowl, and an old picture sat atop a wardrobe in the corner. 

The room reminds me of Grandma's house. The only difference is that this house was cluttered. Old relics were hidden amongst the clutter.

A round table held a display of clutter, the most obvious being the large prism crystal at the top. Golden coins lie at the bottom in a pan. Herbs and flowers decorated the edges. 

"Is that a shrine to Iris?" Percy asked the obvious. 

"What do you think it is? A purely decorative piece that serves no use anymore and is stored in that room?" Jason stated sarcastically.

A knock on the door interrupted Leo's thoughts. "Leo, why don't you come out and meet the other kids?" Kate suggested kindly, easing him into social interaction. He hesitantly walked over to the door. "Okay, I'll be out in a minute."

After a minute of nervously standing in front of the door, he turned the knob and walked out.

In front of his door stood a skinny boy, around Leo's age, his chestnut hair waved around as he bounced up and down with excitement. His bright green eyes squinted as he smiled widely, crooked teeth on display. He was wearing blue overalls overtop of a light pink t-shirt. Mismatched socks adorned his feet. "Hi! My name is Noah. What's your name?" He practically shouted.

Geez. That kid is loud

"NO YELLING IN THE HOUSE." Kate yelled up the stairs, before going back to making breakfast.

"My names Leo," Leo responded, slightly taken aback by the noise of the house in the morning. Not only is there an overly energetic kid in front of him, and a rather stressed big sister trying to cook, but the playful chatter of kids playing outside drew Leo's attention.

"BREAKFAST IS READY" Kate yelled up the stairs and Noah rushed down, Leo following close behind.
