Break free (Merlin x pjo x male oc)

Chapter 18

Leo was sitting in front of him a guilty look was on him. It was making him puzzled. You see he wanted to talk to him so that he was right now alone at the beach with the mentioned person. Everyone of his friends afterward left him and he was wondering what was going on with Leo.

The male wasn't really the kind of person who would look like this, or he guessed this wasn't how he usually was.

"I am sorry." His voice held sorrow and laced with the same guilt.

It was making him give the person a puzzled look now. It wasn't his fault. Or at least in his opinion never had been his fault. After all, he hadn't been the one who kidnapped him. Nor had he been the one who wanted to murder him.

//Why apologize for something that wasn't your fault?// His tone was puzzled and confusion seen in his expression.

"Because I promised that I got your back and he got you." The tone even more sorrowful and it just made him feel bad now. None was ever his fault.

//Don't. I heard from Will that you barely survived. So don't apologize.// A pause was what he gives before continue sending his thoughts over. //You did your very best and I am just glad that you're alright. Will would lose a good friend, the same is with Nico and Percy. So just be glad that you're alright.//

Leo opened his mouth but closed it again. Eyes staring surprised at him and he tilted his head and feeling slightly lightheaded. It reminded him to eat something again. So, he rummaged through his pockets but realized that he had not yet time to get snacks.

//Do you have maybe some snacks or anything which would bring up my blood sugar?/ It was sometimes really a curse to be a distracting mess.

"You- One moment." The male starting to rummage through the belt and soon pulled out an apple juice as well as some chocolate bar. "Not sure that it will be enough, but I hope this works."

Both things put in his hands and he gave him both a thankful and thanked him on his mind. He started first with the apple juice, waiting for his blood sugar to get better. But decided to eat the chocolate bar, just as a precaution.

//Anyway, I just don't want you to be guilty. Nothing was ever your fault.// Soon a smile slipped on the other person's face.

"Your too sweet you know this? From now on I call you Cinnamon bun." A grin was what was on Leo's expression and he could just stare blankly at the person now.

//Why?// Just why would he want to call him this?

"Because you're a cinnamon bun." A sigh was all that he could give. Well, this was the start of everyone either calling him their cinnamon bun of Camp Half-Blood or Cinnamon bun of Camp Half-Blood. And that just because Leo decided to call him this way.

The past few weeks had been hectic with him finally being at camp. But he missed his father. It was clear the male wouldn't always be there, and he knew this, but now he missed him so much. He missed his parents and felt the miss of contact heavily.

Merlin and Arthur had their own lives and he wasn't wanting to burden this up with his grandparents. The two had their own concerns.

Then there was the fact that he started to fall even deeper with Percy. That caused more stress for him. This showed at his eating as he wasn't eating as nearly enough as usual.

But he hid this from everyone, putting on a mask not wanting to worry anyone. Will and Nico were the only ones who were suspicious that he was hiding something, but he always brushed them off. Not to mention that he was not feeling well either. It seemed that the stress now caught up and he ended up sick. But even this he hid and continued on doing the camp activities.

It went well until on Friday his body decided enough was enough and he...well passed out on Percy. Not a good thing as when he woke up, he was at the infirmary with Will having his arms folded and looking at him sternly.

"So, when did you want to mention that you feel sick? And since when? When did you start feeling sick?" His voice was stern and upsetting yet concern was clearly heard as well.
