Note: So here's my new fan fiction Save Me Romeo! Leo Valdez X Female! Nico di Angelo :) I hope you'll like this! Don't worry I'll update my other one too.
Leo was down working on the Argo II when Piper came running down, practically yelling, "Leo! Leo! The child of Hades has arrived!"
Leo blinked a few times, then grinned, "Sweet!" He paused for a moment, then asked her, "Male or female?"
Piper couldn't help but bring her hand up and tap her lips lightly like she was hiding something. He finally sighed and rubbed a rag against his face, which in all honestly just smeared the oil against his face but he didn't care. Piper rolled her eyes then grabbed his arm, grinning.
Leo squeaked lightly as he was pulled away from the repairs and things he was working on, Piper was taking him to the big house where a few people were swarmed around. He mentally scoffed, another hot-shot demigod like Percy? Maybe. He was ready to tell Piper to forget it, so he began to pull away from her when she tightened her grip on him, moving past a few demigods up to the big house.
He groaned lightly and looked to the side for a moment, until Piper flicked his cheek, "Leo Valdez meet Nicole di Angelo." He blinked a few times, then looked at Piper quickly.
"It's a chick!"
Nicole didn't like that, she hissed at him, "And you're a dude, should we continue?" She moved and turned around, disappearing around the bend of the house. When she was out of sight, Piper slapped Leo upside the head. "Are you stupid?! She's a daughter of Hades! She could have easily sent you to the underworld!"
Leo grinned a bit, "But she didn't which meeeans, she's on team Leo! Hell yes! Even a girl I just met wants to be on team Leo!"
Piper groaned lightly and rolled her eyes, "Just don't piss the daughter of Hades off, and call her Nicole or Nico, ask her." After she said that, she moved and walked off the porch, then went back to her activities. Leo smirked to himself for a moment before moving to see if he could find the daughter of Hades again.
When he couldn't find her, he gave up and went back to work on the Argo II some more.
After a couple hours passed, Leo glanced up to the sky for a moment, he furrowed his brows a bit and then he heard someone clear their throat. Spinning around quickly he saw Nicole leaning against a tree, staring at him, calculating him...judging him.
After a few minutes of her silence, she spoke, "Piper asked that I come and get you, it's dinner time." Her stare turned into a glare, until she began fidgeting. Leo smirked lightly and moved to pick up a rag and clean off his face.
Once he threw his rag down,he moved and put an arm around Nicole's waist and grinned some more, "So, how can a pretty thing like you be the daughter of Hades?"
Nicole hissed a bit and pushed him away, "Don't touch me, you're dirty.." Leo frowned lightly and moved to poke her cheek lightly.
"Awe come on, you love me!" He spoke in a sort of sing-song voice, which all in all made Nicole groan and push him away successfully. "You're annoying!" After she said that she stormed off, and he trailed after her, making small remarks here and there.
When they reached the pavilion, she moved and sat down at the Hades table, which made him pout some but he didn't say anything. Leo moved to sit down with the rest of his siblings and began joking around with them.
Dinner didn't last as long as Nicole would have liked, she stayed back and watched the campers file out of the pavilion. Leaning her head on the table she hummed a soft Italian lullaby to herself. She had always enjoyed those times she had to herself but she had a feeling since she was being forced to stay at camp for awhile, she would have to learn to deal with the other campers.
Nicole sat there alone for what seemed like five minutes when she felt a sudden burst of heat appear next to her. She looked over and furrowed her brow. What was up with this Leo kid? She scooted away some, and glared at him.
Leo let out a small breath and leaned his chin on his hand, "It's campfire time, I was told to come get you."
She let out a low growl and stood up, "I don't want to go to the stupid campfire time! I'm going to my cabin." She turned and stormed out of the pavilion quickly.
Leo stood there for a moment, a bit dumbfounded. That girl was weirder than anything… Maybe he'd ask Hazel for some advice later. Moving, he left the Hades table and went back out of the pavilion to the campfire.
That night no one really bothered Nicole, and Leo stayed out of her way out of fear that she really would send him to the underworld if he pissed her off bad enough. That day he went back down to work on the Argo II again, he let out a small breath. Working on the ship was probably the only thing he could stay focused on.
Thirty minutes into his work, he felt someone watching him, he raised an arm to his head to shield the light from his eyes. He peered into the darkness for a moment, then he grinned slightly, "So, what have you come to get me for this time, Nicole?"
Nicole huffed a bit and stepped out of the shadows some, "Nothing, you just look cool and adorable when you're concentrated like that..."
Leo smirked lightly and moved over to where she was. Nicole stared up at him for a moment, then pursed her lips a bit.
They sat there and stared at each other for what seemed like hours but it was only a couple of minutes. When Nicole smiled lightly, which made Leo blushed a bit and began fidgeting in place.
Finally Nicole stood up and brushed her hair to the side, she had a small wicked grin on her face, "I'm sorry for bothering you, I'll leave now." After she finished her sentence, she turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the trees.
Leo stood there blinking for a few minutes before he looked back at the Argo II, he decided he'd go back to work for a little. Maybe, just maybe if he overworked into lunch or even dinner, Nicole would come and retrieve him again.
When the alarms sounded for lunch time, he kept working. He didn't stop. He hammered something onto the ship, then stood back to admire his handy work, that is until he heard a small laugh come from behind him. Whirling around, heuu looked at Nicole for a moment and grinned.
"So what brings you here, dearest?" Leo was always pretty good at sweet talking people, not good like Piper and her charmspeak but he was pretty good. Nicole crossed her arms and looked at him seriously for a moment like he knew what he did wrong.
"Seriously? I think you stay down here so Piper will send me here to retrieve you."
"Not at all I was busy with the Argo II," he smiled some and glanced back at the ship, this thing is probably the only thing he's worked so hard on...well besides Festus. Nicole rolled her eyes and nodded her head to the side some.
"Come on before someone thinks something happened and the Aphrodite kids come snooping." She held out her hand for the son of Hephaestus, when he took it he did something that she didn't expect.
So much for expecting the unexpected.
He pretended to fall backwards which pulled her on top of him, after they hit the ground she whined lightly, and sat up a bit. Looking down at Leo her face flushed a light pink color. When her pale skin turned a pinkish color that made a small wicked grin appear on Leo's face.
Nicole moved to sit on his stomach and cross her arms, "Now that was really not cool, I came to get you for lunch not for you to try some stupid move."
Leo frowned a bit and looked at her for a moment, then his eyes flickered to the sky. He furrowed his brow in confusion as it began to rain. Nicole squeaked when a drop of water fell down on her nose, looking up quickly her eyes widened a bit.
"Rain! What's wrong with camp?" groaning lightly she moved to stand up and run away so she wouldn't be caught in the downpour. Leo almost laughed a bit, but then he got up and grabbed her arm and calling to the Argo II a door opened and he pulled her inside.
Nicole wanted to screech at him and tell him that she rather be in her cabin, but he placed a hand over her mouth and smiled. "You wouldn't have made it, and this was the closest place possible to stay dry."
She pursed her lips slightly, then pushed his hand away from her mouth.
Moving Leo began to walk away from her just to see what he had to do to repair the Argo II from the inside, he smiled to himself when he saw it wasn't that bad and it wouldn't take him long at all.
After a few moments Leo returned to find Nicole sitting in a corner of the ship, he frowned a bit and moved to sit beside her. "You seem a bit down."
"I don't want to be here.."
"In the Argo II?"
"No! At this camp! It's boring..there's nothing to do..and no one really likes me."
Leo furrowed his brow, then moved to drape his arm around her shoulder. He gave her a soft smile and tilted her head to the side some so she was looking at him now.
Nicole's dark brown eyes seemed to shine a bit, they looked like the gods melted the finest dark chocolate and poured them into her eyes. Leo's heart rate sped up a bit, no girl has ever let him be this close to her unless they wanted him to complete a task for them. Moving he placed a hand on her face and brought her closer. A moment after he began that her face flushed a dark shade of red and pushed him away and stood up with a jolt.
"W-what were you going to do!? Non riesci a baciare qualcuno che idiota!" Her English and Italian began getting mixed up, but she quickly regained herself and mumbled something under her breath.
Leo blinked a few times and chuckled lightly, moving his hand to scratch the back of his head quickly. "Sorry! it's just the way the light was hitting you, i-it made you look kissable..." he took in a deep breath and spoke quickly. "Please don't send me to the underworld!"
Nicole blinked then covered her mouth, giggling lightly. "I won't send you to the underworld, calm down, it's already crowded down there." She paused for a moment, then looked him over. "Plus I don't kiss on first dates," she giggled some more and moved to walk away from the other, she only glanced back once to see Leo's face heat up some.
Eventually Leo calmed down enough to follow after her, when he found the daughter of Hades she was looking over some intricate system that was installed.
Her hand moved to touch one of the pipes, but she pushed when it was only an inch away from it, touching it full handily wasn't probably the best idea. Leo's been working on it right? So it must be hot. So she let her fingers graze across the surprisingly cool metal.
The Argo II was amazing it shocked Nicole how the thing hadn't fallen already! Finally they made their way into one of the rooms, Leo sat down while the other was looking around. Honestly she looked like a kid in a candy store! But soon she settled down and listened to the rain beat down on the Argo II.
Note: I'll update this later, but I hoped you liked Chapter 1 :))
