Everybody's Got Somebody But Me
I wish the couple on the corner would just get a room
"God, they're gross"
The disgusted thought past by Leo's mind as he observed the scene before him. He never had thought that someone could possible hold breath for so long, but Percy and Anabeth seemed to be kissing for all the four minutes that Leo had been in the Poseidon's cabin, ignoring completely the little elf's existence. The son of Hephaestus thought that the situation would be much less embarrassed if the happy couple was just kissing ā Anabeth's legs evolved Percy's waist, and the boy's hand were inside of his girlfriend's shirt.
Leo desired his lonely bunker more than ever now, however, the reason to why he was there was the same to why he couldn't leave that revolting scene behind and go make some therapy to forget it. In the day before, Percy had asked Leo a favor: his door handle had broken and wasn't opening in the inside and, if wasn't any problem, Percy would be incredibly grateful if Leo fixed it. In the moment, it didn't seem like a big deal, so Leo agreed with a shrug and a smile ā "Sure, Percy".
Of course that, when he agreed with doing that favor, the boy hadn't been counting with enter in the room in the middle of such a private moment and accidently letting the door close due to the shock. Now, Leo was going to have to deal with Percy and Anabeth, also knew as the cutest (and, in Leo's opinion, grossest) couple in all Camp Half Blood's extent.
With the cheeks so red that looked like all his blood had decided to pay a visit to his face, Leo cleared his throat, but the couple ignored him solemnly. He tried again, and, that time, the couple not only ignored Leo, but also started to takek the things from ugh to oh-my-gods-someone-please-let-me-get-out-of-here-now. Anabeth took Percy's shirt out, and they both laid on Percy's king-sized bed, but, before he was forever traumatized, Leo yelled:
"Oh, my Gods, stop! Please, please, please! I don't want to see this anymore!"
They both froze. Their eyes encountered Leo, who thought he was about to throw up at any moment. Their bodies got apart so fast that made Leo wonder if that situation had happened more than just once; if it did, Leo could only feel sorry for whom had been present there.
"Leo!" Anabeth's voice was a bit high pitched, and soon the dominating color of her face was red. "Wha- what are you doing here?"
Leo, who felt the embarrassment outcropping in his face, suddenly thought that his shoelaces were really interesting.
"I⦠I came here to, uh, fix the door handle", explained the boy uneasily.
Percy's features lightened in realization, and then he gazed guiltily towards Anabeth, who shot an angry look to her boyfriend.
"Ops" said Percy in a frail voice. "I, uh, forgot"
An uncomfortable silence landed between them, and Leo had imagined how shoelaces could have so much content in it. Finally, after eternals ten seconds, Leo decided that he had shamed himself enough to a day.
"I, uh, will ask Nyssa to come here fix your door handle tomorrow", announced him. "I will jump from the bathroom's window, so I can get out"
"Uh, okay. Thank you" thanked Percy trying a brave smile, that Leo retributed with something between a grimace and a constipation.
Leo headed to the bathroom, but, before jumping out of the short window, he couldn't stop himself from saying, "I think we all learned a lesson here: we should be more careful with the phrase get a room. The person may do it"
