Oh, He Didn't Know (Leo Valdez x Female Reader)

Chapter 14

This is dedicated to Josie (KozyKit) because she has been reading this since forever and she leaves wonderful comments that always make me smile so much! Thank you!

I know I haven't updated lately. I'm behind on writing three books right now. I'm not promising frequent updates, but I WILL update it you just have to trust me. :)

Also I've joined a Percy Jackson One Shots challenge so if you want, go check my one shots out(they have their own book)! Most of them are funny but I've got a sad one in there too.

Enjoy!

You knew you must be dreaming. Why else would it rain cotton candy? It was summer and you were in a field of spun sugar and it was raining cotton candy. Everything was peaceful and quiet. It was perfect. Except for the warmth. It was boiling! Not literally of course but very warm. You took off at a run, sprinting towards the horizon and the never-ending sugar grass. You tripped and fell but the grass just crumbled beneath you lying you down softly. It was so pretty. They sky was yellow and the pink and blue cotton candy drifted down lightly around you. You laughed without sound and rolled over and down the hill that had just appeared. It was soft but you spun fast. Faster faster and then. . .

 BOOM! A glaring face right in yours. You were sitting in a hard wooden chair facing a woman who you assumed to be Athena based off the glare, armor, and owl on her shoulder. 

"Hi." You said, a bit nervous. "Hello." She said, still staring right into your eyes or, perhaps, your soul.  She continued staring at you. You wiggled, uncomfortable. "So . . . Mom. . . why am I here?" You asked. "Because I brought you here." She said never taking her eyes off of you. "I assumed that much but why?" You asked a little abruptly. 

"I wanted to talk. About Leo." She replied, her tone of voice never changing. "Ok?" You replied nervously. "I always check on my children and their love lives especially when Aphrodite intervenes an- " You interrupted her. "What do you mean when Aphrodite intervenes? What did she do?" She sighed. "Isn't it obvious? She sent Calypso to liven it up! And don't interrupt me again." She said sounding annoyed. You nodded not trusting yourself not to shout at a certain love goddess. "As I was saying I would like to meet this Leo. I think you've made a better choice than Annabeth because he's not a complete idiot," at this you felt your fists clench. " We will have dinner together at six tonight. Hephaestus will be there. Wear something nice please and don't make a fool out of yourself.  Now they're trying to wake you up so be on your way. "

You felt your eyes open and found yourself in a hospital bed again. You felt a very warm pair of arms around your waist and saw Leo hugging you from behind. As much as it was cute and you loved the cuddles he was very warm so you gently unwrapped his arms from your middle and got up. He woke up almost instantly. 

"Morning osito." (It means cuddle bear in Spanish) he said, sitting up and trying to get his hair out of his eyes. "Good morning." You answered, rubbing your eyes. " I had a dream. " You said. "We'll that's never good. What do we have to do? Fight unbeatable creatures? Slay monsters? Eat vegetables?" He said. "We have to go and have dinner with our godly parents." You replied. "Even worse." He sighed and got up. 

Will walked into the room. "Well well well. The dead rise." He drawled. "I'm sure you know lots about the dead, considering who your boyfriend is." You snapped back, a little grouchy from the visit with you mother. "My boyfriend? What are you talking about? Nico doesn't ev-" His mouth snapped shut so fast you heard his teeth clack. You smirked knowingly and Leo looked a bit surprised but then smiled.
