A/N: This is my first LEYNA fic and I love this pairing. Fellow Leyna lovers check out "Leyna ABC's by percabeth fan forever.
THIS IS NOT A ONE SHOT. Please R&R. It means a lot.
No particular POV
Leo walked up to Jason. He was talking to a girl, scratch that he was talking to a beautiful girl. She was standing regally and was flanked by two metal greyhounds. They looked intimidating and Leo made sure he didn't get too close to them.
"Hey Jason" Leo started to say before Reyna interrupted him. "Who is this Jason?" she asked. Leo decided to answer and said, "I am the supreme commander of the Argo 2" Jason concluded his speech with three words "this is Leo"
Leo asked the dark haired girl "Who might you be?" "Reyna" she replied curtly . "Aaah a name to fit your title of course" he said. She looked at him confused and then went on talking to Jason. Leo just stood there awkwardly until Piper came up to Jason. Reyna's eyes flashed rage but quickly returned to normal when she saw Piper's arm wrapped around Jason. "Come on Jason, let's go" Piper said and she walked off with Jason in tow.
"So..." Leo said, "How long have you had a crush on Jason?" Reyna looked at him as if she was going to stab him with her dagger but then gave up. "About ever since he became praetor" she answered. Leo was shocked. He had thought she was never going to answer. She looked beaten, as if her battle was already lost.
Reyna' POV
It surprised me when I answered the boys question. I was just so fed up of pretending all the time. Pretending to be strong. Pretending to be happy for Jason. Pretending my heart wasn't broken up into a million pieces. The worst lie I told was too myself. I would be okay. It was the most common lie, yet almost always exactly that, a lie.
Leo went rambling on about gummy bears or something but all I could pay attention to was his hands. They were always moving, fiddling with odd bits of wire, brushing his curly hair out of his or twirling the zippers on his tool belt. He offered to walk me to the praetor cabins and I accepted. It was getting cold and I was shivering slightly. I willed myself to stop, I could not look weak in front of this Greek, but my arms refused to stop shaking. He noticed and lit a small fire with his hand. I watched mesmerized by the flame flickering against the background of the night sky. "I didn't know you could do that" I said dumbfounded by his abilities. He seemed to blush as he replied, "I thought they told you?" I shook my head but couldn't take my eyes away from the flames. When I finally broke from my trance we had arrived at the cabin and we said our goodbyes.
As I lay in my bed I was remembering the day and sat up shocked. All those little habits I had noticed that Leo had were more then I can remember Jason having. I could hardly remember our time together. With Jason it was all about being the best. Always was and always would be. It was then that I decided, Leo Valdez wasn't a bad guy.
