-DECLAIMER: I do not the book series "Percy Jackson and The Olympians"

Hello, Percy Jackson lovers! =]

Thank you for checking out this short-story. I like you. ;) Anyway yeah, it means a lot to me. And it would mean even more if you end up liking it.

But, I had to warn you that this is a Lazel (Leo and Hazel) short-story( 2 to 4 chapters long). If you do not ship them (I'm judging you), don't read this.

Don't get me wrong though; it's not like I don't LOVE Frank, it's just I think that Hazel is better off with Leo than with him. Not just because I think the two are adorable, but also because of the Sammy thing. That dude died thinking about Hazel. I think his grandson deserves to be with her.

Anyway, now that I explained that, I hope you like the story.

Enjoy&Review!

LEO

In all his time being, Leo never thought he'd be able to say he has a girlfriend. But the day they hit Athens, everything changed.

Hazel herself was having a bad day. She'd spend the morning pacing the deck of the Argo II, murmuring about the House of Hades, and gazing upon the horizon. She was very nervous that day, so Leo decided that it was better if they flew, just so she wouldn't get queasy too.

Frank, much to Leo's annoyance, was next to Hazel, trying to talk to her. It wasn't like Leo was eavesdropping, but he managed to hear the exchange of words between the two:

"Hazel, why don't we talk a little bit? Maybe that'll calm you down." – Frank had tried telling her, but Hazel wouldn't hear it.

"No, no, I need to think. I smell death. If Annabeth and Percy are…no, they're not. Never mind." – She'd shake her head and walk on.

Leo tried to think over her words. He wandered what she meant about Annabeth and Percy. Where they dead? If they were, Leo was pretty sure he'd die himself. He hadn't known Percy for all that long, but he had developed a bromance feeling towards him. And Annabeth…after all, she had saved them from the Grand Canyon, a couple of months back.

Leo sighed. These thoughts were starting to annoy him. He needed a distraction. He nervously walked towards the girl, hoping he could calm her down after Frank had given up and went in his cabin. Maybe he would succeed.

"Hazel? – Leo said in the sweetest voice possible as he put his hand on her shoulder reassuringly. – Is everything ok? Do you need to talk?"

He was afraid Hazel would turn around, take her golden sword out and stab him. None of that happened. In fact, what Hazel did surprised Leo more than if she had stabbed him.

She hugged him.

"Leo…I'm afraid, - she paused as she choked back a sob, - I'm afraid that Percy and Annabeth are in danger. So does Nico. What if…what if they really are? It's all my fault, Leo!"

She broke down in his embrace. Tears flooded down her cheeks.

"Gosh, Hazel, how could you ever think that? You did everything you could. They're ok, I promise."

Hazel looked up. Even with her tear-stained face, she looked gorgeous. The golden specks in her otherwise hazel eyes sparkled in the sunlight. She managed to smile at Leo - a smile that warmed his heart.

"Don't promise something that you can't be sure of. But…thanks for that, anyway. I…I guess I feel better now. – Her gaze traveled across the horizon. – You know, Leo, I've been thinking…I'm not sure, but…I want to see…us…in the future."

Saying that Leo was shocked would be an underestimation. He chocked. "What do you mean you 'want to see us in the future'?"

The girl shrugged. That movement made her cinnamon curls bounce upon her shoulders. "I…I don't know. I have strong feelings for you. I just want to figure them about a little better. That flash-back with Sammy? I've been thinking about it. Why…why would we have met if it wasn't for us being together….again? Sammy and I never got a chance to have a real relationship because I died. Now, I'm a part of the living again and…I met you. There has to be a reason that we met."

He was no professional when it came to relationship, but Leo was pretty sure Hazel was asking to be…together with him. In a very, very weird way. But that didn't matter. Hazel was pretty. Leo likes pretty girls.

"Okay…I guess. But…What about Frank?"

Hazel blushed. "Frank? Yeah, he's amazing and I love him, don't get me wrong. It's just…I don't think we were meant to be together. I…I don't know. That's exactly why I want to see the future."

"But, I thought you could only see the past?" – Leo wondered.

The girl before him smiled dryly as if she was regretting what she was about to do next. "That can be arranged. – Like the last time, Hazel offered Leo her hand. – Are you coming?"

With no hesitation, Leo grabbed the girl's hand, the world around them twisted and they found themselves in the future.

So…How was that? What do you think, Lazel lovers? Tell me in those awesome reviews of yours! =]

I really hope you liked this, because it was fun writing it. Oh, those Lazel feels I get…AHHHHH! :D

And thanks for reading! I love you all!
