I own nothing... :) and this is only a one shot, but if you want to write a story with it go ahead, just please message me so i can read it.
I wake up in the morning and see my father's statue in the middle of my cabin. Sighing and stretching, I rub my eyes and pull myself out of bed. As soon as I am ready, I go to the arena to practice sword fighting. When I arrive, my friend Leo is there. His brown hair was, for once, not greasy and his darker brown eyes were even more mischievous than normal. If there were to be someone looking for a latino elf, he would fit the part. My heart jumps inside of my chest when I see him look at me and smile.
"Hi Thalia!" He says
I smile back, "Hey Leo. I was just going to practice, wanna join me?"
"Sure." He says, grabbing one of the swords he made of the rack.
I smile the way he swings it expertly, as if he knows every little thing about it. If I know Leo, and I do, he probably does. We start to battle back and forth, but its so easy he ends up on the ground in 5 minutes.
"Hey! No fair. Your actually good at this kind of thing." He says.
"No I'm not! okaay, yes I am, but you should be better." I reply
"One more try?" He asks. I shrug and let him up.
He immediately starts swinging his sword at me. I block each hit with my shield and laugh when he almost drops his sword. The mischievous look comes back and he smiles and I fall backward, tripping on a tree root. Now he has me pinned.
"I finally beat you!" Leo tells me.
"No shit Sherlock, and it was only because of the tree root." I say.
"You just dont want to admit it worked." He teases.
This is when I notice how close we are. He could kiss me if he wanted too. Apparently he realizes this at the same time I do because his eyes light up with understanding. I feel my cheeks start to turn red with a angry blush and electricity starts to build up in my blood like it always does when I get anxious. I don't even see when he leans in, but I definitely feel the feeling of his lips on mine. When he pulls back I smile and he does too.
"I've wanted to do that for a while, Thalia Grace." He says.
"Well, good. I did too, Leo Valdez." I reply
