Love and War.

"Seaweed brain!"

"Wise girl!"

Leo watched from a distance as he prepared his own armour for capture the flag. Both Percy and Annabeth were glowering at each other as if daring the other to back down first.

It seemed strange to him.

When he had first met Annabeth she had been almost sick with worry over Percy but now that she had him back all they did was bicker. Even as he watched they started sniping at each other again; he had long given up trying to figure out what the argument was actually about but from what he could gather it was on whose team was going to win tonight.

His quizzical stare at them obviously didn't go unnoticed as Nico was soon standing by his side looking on at them as well. Noticing him Leo turned to him, "Dude are you even sure they like each other? At all?" He said with real doubt in his voice.

Nico gave a wry half smile "Oh I'm sure; once you get used to it it's almost sickening." He said before wandering off to find a helmet.

Still, Leo wasn't quite sure, they really did look ready to start shouting at each other but he supposed there might something there if you knew what to look for.

It was in the way that Annabeth fought a smile as she proved Percy wrong or the way that Percy's voice sounded far too close to a laugh to be taken seriously.

The conch horn blew and the campers started to make their way to the forest before separating into their teams.

Leo was left with no doubt when Annabeth bumped Percy with her shoulder but instead of retaliating Percy grabbed her hand and carried on walking but with a smile on his face, maybe they were in love.

Leo shook his head at the strangeness of it all. Clearing his head he shook all thoughts of them from his mind as he set off at a run to the forest surrounded by other campers.

All's fair in love and war, but to him, war seemed so much easier.
