Nico's pov~
Nico stood at the mast on the "crow's nest" as Leo called it. He was somewhat right, it was like a little nest where Nico could be alone yet he was still aware of the ship below watched as the members of the ArgoⅡwent off on their little "couples day", coach hedge went off to the nearest camping store to get some supplies which left only him and leo on the boat. Nico watched as Leo began repairing the cracks and dents in the hull from a recent venti. Nico's heart rate sped up as he watched leo. Gods why did everything Leo did have to be so frickin cute! Oh no Nico thought not again! Things had already ended up bad enough with percy but he couldn't help catching feelings for the found himself staring at Leo as he would try to blow his hair out of his face(and failed miserably), or how he would get all mad and throw a mini temper tantrum every time he messed up. Every once in a while Leo would look up at him and Nico would nearly have a heart attack as he would blush and look away seeing Leo smirk out of the corner of his eye. Nico found himself staring again but this time leo looked him straight in the eye with a smirk and winked at him, Nico could feel his heart beat speed up as he blushed and looked away from leo's brown eyes and mischievous smile. He was so busy thinking about leo that he didn't notice that leo was climbing up to him until he turned and they were standing face to face with only inches between them.
Leo's pov~
Leo didn't know how he felt about "couples day", I mean sure he was happy for all of his friends but being the seventh wheel was about just as fun as it sounded. Not to mention that it meant spending the whole day with Nico di angelo who he kinda had a crush tried to blow a strand of hair out of his face as he bent down to repair a crack in the hull, his hair had been getting long ever since he started building the ArgoⅡhis hair had grown out longer and curlier falling down in front of his eyes. He glanced up to see Nico staring at him, he smiled as Nico looked away. He could have sworn he saw Nico blush. Nah. He didn't want to get his hopes up by thinking that Nico might've liked him back, Leo had fallen for Nico the first time he saw Nico. Wow i sound like every love story ever. But it was true, he had fallen in love with the small son of looked up at Nico and found him staring AGAIN, this time he looked Nico straight in the eye,smirked, and winked at him. His heart went ka-thump as Nico blushed and turned away, he chuckled and returned to his work. After he finished the work on the hull he thought he might as well pay di angelo a visit, he climbed up the ladder and apparently Nico hadn't noticed him until Nico turned around and they were face to face with only a few inches between them. Holy hephaestus, his face is literally four inches away from my face.
Nico's pov~
Nico and Leo stood face to face only inches between their faces. Nico could feel Leo's breath on his face, he was only seconds from doing something he would regret. Don't do it di angelo he thought i'm gonna regret this. He leaned forward and kissed leo, leo froze. ABORT MISSION Nico! ABORT MISSION! Oh no, did I do something wrong? He pulled away and started muttering his apologies, gods this is embarrassing he thought.
Leo's pov~
Should I kiss him? Leo thought. They were so close he could see that little freckles dotted Nico's nose, a few seconds of comfortable silence passed and then Nico leaned in and kissed leo had gears in his brain they would've short circuited, When Nico pulled away his whole face was red, Leo's probably (completely unrelated but my dog just took a pair of jeans and made them into a bed and now he's laying in it awww) was too. Leo was completely speechless woooow real smooth leo now he probably thinks you don't like him. Then Leo did something that even surprised him, he grabbed Nico's face and kissed him omfg leo what are you doing!
