Leo's P.O.V
"Ok, FINE! I'll ADMIT that I have a small bit of a temper when I'm losing continuously or i don't get something, BUT HEY! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!" Soon after, I combusted into flames for the MILIONTH time! Nico just grinned smugly and took the cards from my hands and gave me the cards he was using. "Ok! Look here, since you've already used the Drakon card for attack, and I used the Titan card, you should heal with a nymph or dryad card." he pointed to a card in the center with a green-skinned girl wearing a white gossamer dress. I wrinkled my nose "They look better in real life, right?" Nico just shrugged "I actually don't find them pretty at all, I don't get along with anyone that likes to spend their time gossiping about others." For a moment, Nico's dark chocolate eyes seemed sad. Suddenly, my eyes kind of bugged out "Wait, WHAT?!" WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT HE HAS CHOCOLATE EYES!? Realizing that I was being stared at, I returned back to earth. Nico was staring at me with a concerned look on his face, which was quickly replaced by annoyance when he realized that I wasn't spacing out anymore. "So what did you mean when you said 'Wait, whaaat?'" he crossed his arms, clearly defensive. I turned slightly pink as I said "Um, well, I kinda said something in my mind, and it um s-surprised me, so y-yeah." I looked at the ground, unable to look at him after my recent thoughts, and my stuttering. "Well," said Nico, stepping closer "Can you tell me what you were thinking?" Blushing even more, I fiddled around with my tool belt (which is something I do when i'm SUPEEER nervous) and stepped backwards. "No! I don't wanna!" stepping backwards again, my back collided with the wall. Suddenly, two arms shot out at me! I was trapped! He was so close, he probably heard how fast my heart was beating! But, why am I so nervous?! My mind started to go into overdrive until one thought remained in my head: I LIKED NICO DI ANGELO! I murmured softly, "No, that can't be it!" Nico's face got closer to mine "What can't be it?" he asked "I won't let you go until you tell me!"
Nico's P.O.V
Suddenly, I was being kissed. By LEO! Surprised, I let my arms go and Leo ran out the door like that time the Stolls were being chased by the Aphrodite cabin. "I'm sorry!" yelled Leo as he ran out. I stood inside my cabin for a good minute, processing what had happened. When I FINALLY realized what had happened, I ran towards Cabin #9 as fast as I could."OW! SON OF A PIECE OF SCHIST!" apparently, running at full speed after a broken foot is healed isn't such a good idea. No one was currently inside, (as far as I could tell) but I felt something alive far below. I remember him once showing me a 'Leo Cave' under his bed, so I tried to re-create what he did. Success! The bed lowered itself under the Hephaestus cabin into Leo Cave quietly and I could hear the sound of a hammer hitting some sort of metal. Leo seemed to be saying something, so I silently crept up behind him "...DAMNIT! I just freaking KISSED him! It's true then. I like Nico Di Angelo!" he lowered his head before turning towards Buford the table. "and he will never like me back" he said softly. Throwing caution to the wind, I ran towards Leo and threw my arms around him "How do you know who I like? Hmm? Maybe it's possible that I like you back?" He slowly turned around with small, fresh tears on his face. Trying to hide it, he gave a large (but unsuccessful) grin. "So," I tried to suppress a grin that was trying to make it's way up my face "Is there room for one more on Team Leo?" Ignoring the fact that my face was redder than a fire truck, I stuck out my hand "Would you like to go on a walk with me?" Leo smirked and took my cold hand "I would LOVE to, Mr. Red Face" My face probably got a deeper shade of scarlet as Leo and I walked hand-in-hand towards the forest.
