Leo's POV~
I woke up only two hours after falling asleep. I was sweating like a child of Ares in a battle. My trembling shook the bed and I'm positive that I lost all control of my bladder. Great Leo just piss in your crush's bed, that should totally work out for you. I was breathing heavily too. It all came down to one thing: nightmares.
Sitting up, I could see the 'mess' I made of Frank's covers. What the Hades do I tell him? That I had a nightmare, so like a five year old I wet the embarrassment in this situation couldn't possibly be worse. A barely audible sigh escaped my lips as I leaned over to nudge Frank awake. After two or three nudges, Frank lifted himself from laying down and rubbed his eyes.
"Leo? What time is it? Why are you up?" I looked down with shame that swallowed anything I had to say. The big spot was right in my line of sight and Frank noticed it too. I was afraid he would yell at me or hit me like all my foster families did when I made a mistake. Tears spilled down my cheeks and a strangled sob caught in my throat. Frank got up without a word to me, walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
I sobbed and cried and ultimately broke down. Frank was absolutely done with me. I was just as much of a mess as before I went to the academy. I should just clean up the mess and go to my room. And that's what I did. I hurriedly changed the sheets and used the setting that I programmed into the bed to bleach and dry it. I then grabbed new sheets from a closet next to the bathroom and fixed up Frank's bed. It only took about ten minutes to finish the process. After I cleared my presence from Frank's room, I ran all the way to my room and straight to the shower.
I stripped from my damp and stench filled clothes and climbed in the tiled shower. Sitting with my back against the wall, I let the water run over me after I had cleaned myself. I felt hopeless, anger, disgust, and I wanted to die. All I did was cry.
Frank's PoV~
I need to talk to Annabeth! I don't know what to do. What do you possibly say to a fifteen year old who just wet the bed? I can't hurt his feelings by saying something rude about it. I probably could've come up with an idea if Ares and Mars weren't laughing so much. That's why I need to talk to Annabeth.
I came up in front of Annabeth's door and knocked. There was no sound from the other side of the door so I knocked again. Bad idea. The knocks were loud enough to wake all the members because of the close proximity of the cabins. In a matter of minutes they were all outside with their swords and blades. Even Annabeth was wielding what looked like the spine of a reptile. I'd have to ask about that.
"Frank? It's the middle of the night, it doesn't seem that the ship's under attack so how about you save the time in guessing and just tell us what's wrong." Jason said with what sounded like distaste. I don't know what's wrong with him but he doesn't seem to keen on seeing me. I was about to answer but Nico stepped up to me.
"What's wrong with Leo!? Is he okay!?" Nico looked panicked and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"That's what I came to ask Annabeth about," with that Nico ran off to find Leo. "Annabeth can we talk privately." Annabeth was about to answer until Jason got in my face.
"If something's wrong with Leo you can tell all of us. He is MY best friend after all," Jason spat. He really didn't want me near Leo but why?
"It's private. I only need to talk to…"
"No Frank. Here's the thing. It's not private because Leo is with me. We can't afford to keep secrets on this boat especially if it's about my Leo. There is nothing that you could help Leo with that I couldn't do myself. I may not be praetor but I'm still your leader here."Jason's words burned like acid to the face.
"Why do you have such a problem with me being around Leo? You have Piper so what does it matter to you?" The situation was getting heated and the others were trying to calm us down.
"Yeah Jason, you have me…why does it matter so much?" Piper gave a dejected look before starring Jason in the eyes. "You don't love me anymore. You love Leo, don't you? It makes sense now. All those moments where I caught you eyeing Leo and you just told me that his hair was messy or you were trying to see what he was making. But in all reality you were only staring at him because you like him. How did I not see this coming?"
"I don't like Leo! What are you talking about!? It's not like that, I still only like you Piper. I-"
"Face it Jason there hasn't ever really been an established relationship between us. Truly, I just don't feel anything in this relationship anymore. It'd be best if we split up now and save hurt feelings." Piper didn't look mad, she looked hopeful. It was almost as if she knew something we didn't.
"Guys just go to bed. It's for the best that only Annabeth knows. You can figure your feelings out in the morning. Right now the situation is between those two. If it becomes a problem for the team, Wise girl will tell us, right?" Percy kept a serious face that showed his guidance for the group. Percy squeezed Jason's shoulder and ushered the confused teen to his cabin. Everyone else soon did the same, leaving only Annabeth and myself in the hallway. It was time to have a talk before I could join Leo in my bedroom.
I would be able to think about Jason's crush once I was done.
A/N: Hey loves! This is for taking so long last time. Sorry that Jason seemed like a huge asshole but I have plans for this story. Climaxes in the future, there shall be~Master Yoda. Still taking requests. Comment, ask, send love.
