Leo's POV

As I was getting closer to the Hades cabin, Nico freaking FAINTED! I'm not really tall, so this made getting him to his cabin WAY harder. Finally, after 13 agonizing minutes, I arrived. Slowly stepping up the obsidian black stairs of his cabin, the doors opened quietly, as if sensing that we didn't want to be seen. The doors closed behind me with a creak as I set down Nico on a nearby sofa. Since his foot is screwed up, he HAS to have an ambrosia if he wants it to heal faster. So, to wake him up, I poke his nose. He doesn't do anything, so I poke him again. This time, he kinda moves his head. He has to wake up if he wants to feel better! "Well," I said mysteriously "TIME FOR DRASTIC MEASUREEEESSSSSS!" So, I took his shoe off and tickled his foot.(Not the bad one) Nothing happened for the first 5 seconds, but then I heard a giggle. and then another. His eyes flew open, shocked, " . .Me?" the iron was clear in his voice. Laughing, I said "I have to give you some ambrosia." I grinned as I held out a medium square of the ambrosia. He wolfed it down and weirdly enough, he smiled wistfully. "It tastes like what my mom used to make," a small tear escaped his eye "and pomegranate." As quickly as the tear appeared, a scowl appeared on his face as he said the word 'pomegranate'. Unsure of what to say, I looked at his foot. The ambrosia was working, since his foot looked slightly better than before, but it wouldn't be healed until say, another half hour or so. Standing up, I looked at Nico's cute face. Ugh- forget I said that. He looked so lonely, so I did the only thing I could do. I left. Running to the camp store, I threw three denarii at the clerk and ran out with my prize back to the Hades cabin. As I walked back in, surprise was completely written all over Nico's face. I gave him a smirk as I took out what was in the bag. "What, did you think I was gonna leave you alone?" I held up the cards I bought at the store and his eyes widened "So, can you teach me how to play Mythomagic? I heard that you can teach ANYBODY how to play." surprisingly enough, since I thought that he was gonna be all tsundere*, a small smile escaped his lips. "Sure," but then that smile turned into an evil grin "but I am a VERY strict teacher. Better keep up if you want to learn how to play from a master."


*for those of you who don't know what tsundere means, a tsundere is a person who seems very cold and uncaring on the outside, but they are very kind and caring on the inside
