Leo's PoV
San Francisco
The door leading out of camp was a two meter large archway, you having to walk through ten yards. The Argo II had been landed a few hundred meters from it. I and Jason were the ones who volunteered to sleep on the ship. Although last night I didn't sleep that much. I was too excited for San Francisco, or too buzzed because of all the RedBull.
Reyna statred walking pass me.
"Let's go you piece of sh-"she started mumbling to point where I couldn't understand her. But I assume she was complimenting my amazing good looks.
"Movie? Donut Shop? Hospital?"
"Hospital?"
"Yeah, well, I've been meaning to get this checked out" I set my hand ablaze. She gasped.
"Don't worry… it will only slowly kill me" I chuckled. She punched me in the arm.
"Idiot" she said.
"Alright movie it is" I proclaimed.
"I thought you wanted to go sightseeing?"
"Uh, hello? Movie, sightseeing, they match!" So we walked over to the nearest theatre I could find. Reyna was looking around cautiously.
We decided to go see 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II' the theatre was packed. It should be. Who doesn't love Harry Potter?
"This movie looks stupid" Reyna exclaimed. My face dropped.
"How does one not like Harry Potter?"
"Shut up, it's starting"
"Do you love it now?" I asked.
"No, it's still stupid" she replied. The movie had ended, and we were now walking to… to…
"So, where to next?" I asked.
"How 'bout some sparring?" she said. She drew two small swords from behind herself. How did I miss those?
"You can't be serious" I said.
"I'm a Roman Valdez, I'm always serious". So she threw me a sword, and as soon as I caught it, she knocked it out of my hands. I picked it up again, and she knocked it out again. But this time, as I picked it up, I got a few breath mints from my belt. When I stood up, I quickly threw them at her and attacked. She kicked me in gut, bashed the butt of her sword on my shoulder… then knocked the sword out of my hand. I simply fell to the ground without trying again. I groaned do to the pain to my stomach, and shoulder, and hands!
"Now can we go to the hospital?" I pleaded. She just scoffed.
"I'll be back in a minute" I said as I got up and walked over to a small shop. I bought a Coke then walked back outside. I cracked it open then pulled out a breath mint from my belt. (I think you know where I'm going with this)
"Hey, Reyna?" I offered it to her. She stared at it intently, then me, then it. Just as she was about to take it, I slipped the mint in. She examined it some more, then as she went to take a sip, white foam started over flowing from the can. She gasped, dropped it, and then crushed it with her foot.
"Well this' is been fun but, I think we should get back to the camp and, yeah" I started running in the opposite direction. She followed easily behind.
Once we made it back to camp, I headed straight for the Argo II. I ran up the landing and up into the cockpit.
"Valdez! You better get you ass down here now!" I heard Reyna scream from below… inside the ship. I pulled up every camera on the ship. She checked in the boiler room, then Jason's room, then my room, then- Oh crap. She picked up the wrench on the floor. She knows it's my room! What did she just take? She took one of my Drachmas! Then she looked at a large crimson flower, picking it up and examining it. Damn, that was my thank you flower to her. Oh shit, she's looking at the card! Ok Leo, calm down. Maybe you can still get out of the ship and hide. I slowly climbed down the ladder. I walked slowly, twisting and turning, making my way out.
"What's this?" a voice asked behind. I turned around. It was Reyna, obviously, holding the large flower.
"Uh, just a 'Thank You' present" I grinned. She had a 'Are you serious?' look on her face. "I, uh, better get going" I ran off.
Oh great, another night game. Tonight was, well I can't quite remember the name. But the whole point is again to capture something. But this time, rather than a flag, it was a person. And guess who was picked for our team? That's right, none other than me! Jason said that I was fastest and less easy to catch. Plus, I couldn't handle a sword to save my life, literally. A large cannon signified the start of the game. I was draped in a light blue toga to show I was the one to be captured. There person would be in red. There really was no battle plan for me, just, run. So, I snuck off to the forest. It would be easier to lose pursuers in a twist of trees. I walked along a path eating breath mints. That's when I started hearing 'THUD' then 'THUD' over and over again. It was Reyna, throwing her dagger at a tree. It looked like she threw a dagger at that one tree on a daily basis.
"What'd the tree ever do to you?" I joked. She yanked the dagger out of the tree then chucked it at the tree I was poking my head out from behind. Two inches, it struck two inches from my face. Damn this girl got skill.
"Shouldn't you be hiding?"
"Hey, when you're as awesome as me, you don't need to hide" I flexed my muscles. She shook her head then continued what she was doing. I pulled out the flask Dakota had given me. He said I might get thirsty out there so I might need it. "Drink?" I offered some to Reyna. She took it hesitantly, focusing mainly on me. She took a swig than handed it back…
"Your ears are so pointy" Reyna said sluggishly. Apparently, something Dakota neglected to mention, was that the drink inside was Kool-Aid with extra-EXTRA powder. So now Reyna was, in Roman terms, drunk. "Did I ever tell you how cute you are?"
"Five times actually" I replied while trying to withhold my laughter.
Reyna's dagger was now off in the distance as her aim started to falter. She was clinging to my arm as we sat against the base of a tree. I won't lie, I was enjoying this.
"Hey there he is!" someone shouted. Oh crap. The Romans had finally found me.
"Time to go Reyna" I tried lifting her up, but she simply pulled me back down. The Romans tried dragging me away, but Reyna intervened.
"Hey! He's mine, go find your own!" she yelled at them. I must say, they looked more shocked than a dad did when he found out his son was gay. They apologized then left shaking their heads in confusion.
"Hey Reyna, I know, why don't we go for a walk?" she nodded. Although in her state, I did most of the walking.
Reyna was now fast asleep, snuggled up against my chest. I carried her bridal style through the forest, looking for the entrance. I stopped when I saw a hint of gold on the ground. It was Reyna's dagger. I picked it up, placed it in my pocket, and then continued.
When I reached the battle field, no one was there. Apparently we won, and no one cared to come looking for the amazing Leo. So, I continued carrying Reyna of to her barracks.
When I tried laying her in bed, she refused to let go of my neck. I tried prying them off, but even when drunk and asleep, this girl had some grip.
"Now Reyna I'm going to ask you to let go, and by the laws of physics, you're going to let go, ok?" but even then she refused.
"No, fluffy bunny no leave" she tightened her grip. Fluffy Bunny? Then, I'm hoping in her drunken state, she yanked me down so I was lying beside her on the bed. She cuddled closer to me, then fell fast asleep. I didn't know what to do. Do I call for help? Do I try to get out of this awkward position? Do I wake her up? Do I comfort her? The latter was really tempting.
I looked over Reyna's shoulder because a hint of crimson caught my eyes. And indeed, as my thoughts portrayed, there was resting the scarlet rose, in a clear vase. And then there IT was. My golden Drachma. I tried reaching over to her bed side table. But the closer I got, the more Reyna started to stir.
I'll get it in the morning.
If I'm still alive. Gods only know what Reyna will do to me when she sees us like this. But I'm sure I can explain this to her. But I'll need some proof that she engaged this. So, I slid a camera from my pocket, and snapped a photo of her holding my neck. Not only is this proof, but its also black mail material.
Now knowing I contain conclusive proof Reyna was drunk and I was not a pervert, I could rest easily. So I decided to choose the latter.
Without hesitation, I slid my arms around her waist. I swear I saw a small grin spread on her face. Copying the action, I fell asleep hoping to enjoy this till morning.
Don't worry, once I really get into this story, the chapters'll be much longer. This was only three pages. I intend to do weekly five to six page chapters. Plus hopefully other work, too.
I would also like to give a shout out to 'FireOfRiptide' and 'Juli Beawr' for being the first people to support me. Also, I wanna thank Chocoholic-Cat for giving me the drunken Reyna idea from her/his story 'Truth or Dare' that story was the reason I spent little time working on this.
Also, this came out way later then I meant it to, mostly because my computer decided to mess with me. But, on an upside, today is the second last day of school! It kind of sucked cuz I got rejected by a girl I asked to dance with at the last dance but hey, she missed out! Anyway, I'll have plenty more chapters and stories out soon.
