Leo's POV.
Leo was looking over some blue print's of the ship thinking of way's to make it more awesome, finally finding something to keep his mind off Hazel. Right now he was thinkng of giving the ship a flaming paint job to give a Leo flare when he heard a nock at the door. He looked up from his blue print's, scared it was Frank coming to kill his little brown ass. Leo walked over to the door and opened it to find Hazel at the door smiling. He smiled back.
"Hey Hazel, come to see the ship?" He asked gesturing her to come in.
"Yeah, if that's okay?" She asked as she walked into the room.
"Yeah it's fine I'm not doing anything anyway." He told her. Hazel walked over to the blue prints.
"So these are the ship blue print's?" Hazel asked.
"Yeah." he told her as he walked over to stand with her.
"This are a lot like blue print's from when I was alive the first time. I don't mean I've seen blue print's for a flying ship, but the way they made the blue print's." Hazel told him. Leo looked down at the print's. They were very old and were made a little diffrent from how people make ble print's now.
"Cool. You know its awesome that you lived in the past, I mean you actully lived through the stuff they teach you in school. Last year I had to do an essay about what it would be like to live in the 1940's, man I wish I knew you then, it would have been so helpful." he told Hazel. She laughed.
"So did you really only come to see the ship?" Leo asked, uttering his own death sentece knowing that after saying it there was nothing stopping Frank from killing him.
"No." She sighed. "I need to tell you something." She spoke in a steady voice. Leo looked up at her from the print's.
"Okay, hit me." Hazel walked over to the wall and sat on the floor leaning her back agenst it. There was a long plus of silence as Hazel tried to figure out what she was going to say.
"What was your grandfather's name?" She finally asked. Leo thought for a moment, he had never met his grandfather but before she died his mother talked a lot about him a lot.
"Samuel." He told her without question. Hazel glanced away from him.
"I called him Sammy." She told him as a silent tear rolled down her cheek. Wait, what? She called my grandfather Sammy? But the would mean...
"You knew my grandfather." Leo spoke in a voice that made him sound far more smarter then he really was.
"You look just like him." Hazel whispered. Leo walked over and sat down with her. He rememeber when they first bumped into each other, how she was trying to get away when she saw him.
"That's why you tried to get away when you first saw me." Hazel nodded.
"At first I had slipped away from Frank to find you but when I saw you I just wanted to run." She told him.
"Wow, I never know I was that ugly." Leo joked. Hazel smiled.
"Your not like him, you know in a good way, your better then him." She told him, she was clearly talking about Sammy cause Leo already figured he and Mr. Muscle weren't much alike anyway
"Are you sure? I kind of killed his daughter so yeah, and let me guess, he was your boyfriend?" leo guessed.
"Kind of, he kissed me on the cheek on my thirteenth birthday, the day before we left." She told him. Leo nodded.
"So why didn't you just tell me this at the tour?" Leo asked her.
"I didn't want to scare you off." She whispered. Leo laughed.
"It takes a lot to scare me off." He whispered. Hazel looked him in the eye with her pretty golden eyes. He moved closer.
"Then what does scare you off?" Hazel asked.
"Frank's fist." He told her. Hazel laughed her beautiful and joyful laugh.
"He's not like that." She told him.
"You really like him, don't you?"
"If I really liked him I wouldn't be here." She whispered. Leo wasn't sure if he reach for her hand or if she reached for his but they were holding eath others hand's.
"Then who do you like?" Leo asked hoping he knew the answer.
"You." Hazel finally whispered to him. Leo leaned in and brushed his lips agents her's. Her eyes fluttered closed Leo's eyes did the same as she kissed him back, her taste was sweet and her lips were soft. He didn't care about Frank any more, Hazel was wreath a beating. Leo moved closer to Hazel and could feel her heart racing as she allowed him to pull her closer. When they pulled away they were both gasping for air.
"I'm sorry." Leo whispered to her. Hazel shook her head.
"Don't be, it felt... right." She told him. Leo smiled knowing he felt the same.
"Then why should we stop? Come by tomorrow, I still feel like I need to get to know you better." He told her. But kissing would be nice to. He thought to himself but didn't dare say it out loud.
"What about Frank, I can't hurt him like this. He may even hurt you."
"I'm not scared of him any more, I'm scared of not having you in my life. besides," He snapped his fingers and a small spark of fire started to dance on his finger tips. "Wood and fire don't come together well." Hazel bolted up.
"Leo! Put that out! I have the wood!" She cried. Leo's eyes widened and he crushed the spark of fire with his fingers.
"Sorry! I didn't know!" He cried. Hazel walked over to him huging him tightly.
"Please, don't hurt him." She whispered.
"I think its to late for that now." Leo sighed. Hazel buried her head into his chest as if to hide from the world. Leo wrapped his arms around her as to shield her. "Its okay." He told her kissed forehead. Leo could feel small tears agents chest as they soaked through his shirt. Eventally Hazel pulled away and looked at the ground rather then him.
"I'm so sorry Leo." She whispered.
"Your sorrry? Why? I'm the one that flitted with you, I'm the one that let you in my room and I'm the one that kissed you." He told her.
"Yes, but if I hadn't kissed Frank, if I had waited one day, this wouldn't be wrong, or as wrong, plus I'm the one how came to you." She told him.
"Hey, if you hadn't came for me I would have came for you, and with my luck Frank would probably be there to kick my ass to the underworld." Leo told her. Hazel looked up at him.
"Would you really?" She asked. Leo laughed.
"Yes. Hazel your wearth that and so much more." He told her. Hazel smiled up at him. Suddenly She hugged him agian.
"Thank you." She wispered. Leo wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Your welcome." He whispered back. Hazel brought her lips to his and kissed him slightly and sweetly. when she pulled away Leo grinned.
"What was that? A prize for being awesome?" He asked. Hazel rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Yeah, sure flame boy."
"Well do I get another?" Leo asked.
"Um... I don't think so." She smirked, Leo frowned.
"Oh I see, playing hard to get are we? Fine you get a prize for being sweet." Before Hazel could react Leo crashed his lips to her's. When he pulled away Hazel looked at him with wide eyes and a smile on her face, she started laughing. Leo laughed with her, he wasn't sure why but the hole thing seemed funny.
"Hey, why wasn't I given a prize for being Awesome?" Hazel asked.
"Beacause your just that sweet, like... a peice of candy." He told her.
"This candy can be sour you know." Hazel told him. Leo laughed.
"I find that hard to believe." He told her.
"Are you saying I'm not a fighter?" Hazel questioned him.
"No, I know your a fighter, you killed a giant, only a fighter can do that. I'm saying your not sour like miss scary lady Reyna." Leo told her. A smile came back to Hazel's lips and she rested her head on Leo's shoulder.
"Thanks, brave Leo."
"I told you, I'm not brave, I'm fearless, I have to be if I'm going behind Franks back." Leo muttered to her.
"And I told you that's not what I see." Hazel muttered back.
"Then what do you see?" Leo asked.
"Something amazing." She whispered.
"Not as amazing as you." He whispered back smiling. They stayed there for awhile. Suddenly they heard foot steps outside his room. Leo's heart stopped as he prayed to the gods that who ever it was didn't come to his door. When the foot steps passed and faded Leo breathed. Hazel seemed to be doing the same thing, Leo could feel as her musels relaxed again. Leo looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It read 11:06.
"Crap," he breathed.
"What?" Hazel asked as she looked up at him.
"You need to go, the ship lockes down in like four minutes." He told her.
"Okay, bye." She stood up but before she could leave Leo grabbed her wrist.
"See each other again tomorrow?" he asked. Hazel smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"We'll figure something out." She proimsed.
"Okay." Leo grinned as he let go of her wrist and she walked out of the room glancing at him once more. Leo smiled at her.
"Good bye Hazel." He called.
"Bye." And just like that she was gone. All Leo could think about how much he wished she were still there. Shit! He thought. I'm falling, HARD! Leo had done what he called 'falling in love' with a lot more girls then he would have liked but the way he felt for Hazel was different. He would dead for her after knowing her for one day! This wasn't normal. And that was coming from a guy that came start a fire with a snap of his fingers!
