Leo

I've never had a real Christmas before. Like a legit opening presents on Christmas morning with the whole family. No big dinner, not even a birthday cake. I've heard people do that so let me just say they're doing this life this right.

Any who, I never thought in a million years that the biggest crush I've ever had would you know make out with me.

I mean of course I hoped it would happen and hell yeah I've day dreamed about it. Don't you dare judge me.

So I've been thinking... Am I or am I not officially the boyfriend yet?

Like how does this work? Do I still have to ask her out? Is it a 'You kissed her you're the boyfriend!' thing?

Like how does one become the boyfriend?

Because she's sitting on my lap again and she keeps kissing me every time I say something funny. Which is, lets face it, every time I open my mouth. I'm smooth with the ladies.

BUT HOW DOES ONE BECOME THE BOYFRIEND!? I don't know!

I can build my own computer yet I can't decipher a human.

Cause, yeah.

I just wish she'd tell me; Boyfriend or no.

"How long do you guys normally stay up?" Piper asks as midnight rolls around.

"Well I was thinking, like, forever." Percy quotes Elf ever so smoothly.

"But seriously," I say.

"Whenever. Right mom?" Percy asks.

"Be gone by one." She says.

"Well I actually have stuff to do in the morning." Nico says, "Bianca has to unpack so I think I'll be taking her home."

"I'll go too then." Hazel says kissing Frank goodbye.

"Alright time for a poll who thought something was up with Nico but didn't expect it to be that big?" Annabeth asks. Literally everyone raises their hands, "So I'm not the only one. Good."

"Certainly not." Percy says kissing her, only they don't stop kissing. Reyna blushes so deeply I can feel the heat coming off her cheeks.

"We should go." Thalia says awkwardly, "Jason, let's go. Dad will be worried."

"I think we should go too, huh Leo?" Reyna takes my hand and tugs me behind her.

"Yeah, Pipes, come on." Piper follows awkwardly behind leaving Percy and Annabeth to their face battle.

We all run out of the apartment complex laughing madly at one another. Piper falls on her ass the moment we reach the side walk. She almost slides out into the street.

"Nice going beauty queen!" I shout as she attempts to stand up but falls back down.

"Beauty queen?" Thalia asks.

I laugh, "It's meant to be an endearment that I figure she'll hate."

"And why?" Reyna asks.

"Because Cutie." I tell her getting closer to her face, "I've never met so many eccentric and simultaneously awesome people at the same time. I imagine all of you can take a joke which hardly ever happens."

Then our faces touch... I mean we kiss. I really want to ask 'So quick question are we in a romantic relationship or no?'

Because I mentally cannot with girls.

I get a text from Beckendorf that reads; Dude how would you spend Christmas with a girl granted you have any knowledge on the topic.

I type back; uh, dude with a girl right now. Am not sure how to become a boyfriend... Help?

He texts back; IDK. Tell her she smells good.

I sigh; I can't believe Silena puts up with you willingly.

He probably sighed too; Neither can I.

"Leo, get a move on!" Jason calls so I can run after the gang.

"So, what now?"

"Home?" Piper asks.

"Nah." Thalia and Luke say in sync like they've been doing literally all night.

"What then?" Jason asks.

"Don't you think it's odd we haven't done one of the most common practices world wide during the winter?" Reyna has an evil glint in her eye. She knows what they're planning.

Thalia bends down so quickly I hardly notice, because I'm taking cover so fast.

"Snowball fight!" Jason shouts leaping to one side.

Piper seems lost and confused. How cute, a confused puppy! She gets nailed with icy water.

"What?! What!?" She asks frantically still not sure what's happening.

"Pipes over here!" Jason calls for her. I throw one at Luke, which may miss but it gets him laughing.

I've never run so fast in my life, and ice has never hurt so badly. Running is so easy when you're being pelted with snow and ice.

When we all call a truce (because we cannot breathe) I get the wind knocked out of me by Reyna falling out of a tree into my unprepared arms. She kisses me the whole way down into the snowy bank.

"So this falling thing... Is it common? Because I don't mind catching you I'd just like a formal notice that this does happen a lot." She laughs before pulling me up to her lips.

"I'll let you in on a little secret. I'll only fall on you if you promise to shelter the fall."

"I can do that. Definitely." I tell her. I want another kiss but I don't take it. We stand up and brush the snow off ourselves.

I look around. Thalia and Luke are making out on a bench which is just ironic since Percy and Annabeth tell me she considers it a public service when she makes them stop making out. But maybe it's just a Percy Annabeth thing. No one wants to look at a couple that cute doing nasty naughty things on public property!

Jason staggers back laughing and crying at the scene he's now witnessing. Yeah Jason, people like touching faces in an act of romance, is this new to you?

Piper has mysteriously disappeared. I don't really notice it until we start leaving and she's not in attendance.

Thalia calls out, "Pipes!" Piper pops up from a snow bank, her face is bright red with cold and what looks to be a bit of blood.

Jason and I help her up. On my side I definitely make out small cuts.

"You okay?" I ask

She laughs brightly, "I got slapped by a tree!" She seems excited by that. "Look!"

She moves her hair aside to reveal a few stray branch cuts on the side of her face.

I move back to Reyna who I hope only looks cold because I'm not there.

"Piper why didn't you tell us you got smacked by a tree!" Luke asks laughing with her.

"Because it was too much fun." She claims.

"Alright, yeah, I approve she can hang out with us." Reyna gives a thumbs up.

"Cool!" Piper returns the gesture, "Can I go home now? I'm exhausted."

"Yeah that seems like a good idea." Jason agrees.

"Let's go children." Thalia waves us over.

Piper is now being led by Jason who has her tell him what her address is. She lives in a richer district of the city so it's a bit out of the way from the rest of our apartments.

But being wonderful (like I am by my natural born awesomeness) I helped in refusing to just let her grab a taxi.

"Maybe I can text you guys when I find out what school I'm going to." Piper says.

"Great." Reyna says once we've reached the front of her apartment building.

"Here." Jason hands her his phone so she can enter her number. We pass the phone around entering our numbers before giving her our own.

She looks at my phone quizzically for a moment, "Uh Leo, Reyna. I don't mean to pry but, are you two dating?" Oh crap she's reading my texts to Beckendorf! I want to steal the phone back and close the texts. Alas I cannot!

"Yeah Pipes." Reyna says, "We are officially dating. I mean if you wanna." She looks at me.

Is... Is she kidding? She's kidding right, "Course, Cutie." I tell her. Thank the lord in heaven above that Piper read my texts.

"How cute, a nerd couple." Thalia jeers.

Reyna snatches me kissing my lips. I look up in enough time to see Piper wink at me. I mouth a thank you as I take my phone from her.

"Night guys." Piper gives everyone a hug, even a very awkward Luke who just looks at Thalia like, 'Is this okay? Like, I didn't sign up for this. I'm just being polite.' Oh Piper, making people awkward with your innocence since we've met you.

Jason squeezes her tightly before letting her leave.

"Dude you're so in love with her." Both Luke and I blurt out.

"N-n-no. No! I'm not! I just met her." He defends.

"Oh please Jason if you don't at least like her than Santa Claus is an Olympic athlete." Reyna mocks him.

"I... I just... Leave me alone!" He blushes beet red.

"You're screwed." Thalia says.

"Why?" He asks as we walk toward Luke's place.

"Mommy and daddy aren't going to be happy you." She teases, "You know how upset they'll be right? I mean you realize how pissed they were when you got your first girlfriend." Reyna bites her lower lip as if ashamed, but not really.

"Thalia stop you'll mentally hurt the boy." Luke says as we reach his apartment building. He kisses her and promptly leaves without another word. But I do see him skip steps and bounce when he gets in the building.

"You realize mommy and daddy will be serving us on a platter for Christmas dinner right?" Jason asks.

"Worth it." Thalia claims.

"100% worth it." Reyna agrees as we near my home sweet home.

"So it's been a lovely outing," I say, "But I really should be heading inside." Reyna pounces and kisses me so hard my teeth feel it.

"Call me,"

"I will," I return the gesture.

"Your girlfriend appreciates it." She says firmly. Can you see me glowing with joy?

"Alright Cutie. Talk to you tomorrow." I kiss her on my own accord before heading inside.

Operation best Christmas ever? Yeah totally accomplished.
