Prompt: Liper + Meeting Piper's dad for the first time since they started dating

Meeting the Father

Leo moaned when Piper nibbled his lips, drawing out the kiss before painfully shoving him onto her bed. He bounced against the cushions, frowning at the teasing girl. The Cherokee girl gave him a coy smile as Leo shifted, trying to sit up. Her hand firmly pushed him down. "Piper." He whined and closed his eyes when she straddled his lap. "You're driving me crazy." His hands fell over her slender hips as she leaned forward. Her lips caressed just under his jaw, tickling a particular spot coaxing a deep moan from the Latino young man. He arched unwillingly, feeling her lips grin against his heated skin. "Play fair." He whispered in a deep voice. Piper sat up, fingers playing with the edge of his shirt.

"I- " A high pitch squeal escaped her lips when Leo's warm fingers sneaked underneath her tank top, skimming the sliver of skin peeking between her shirt and shorts. She glared down playfully at her boyfriend who returned it with a devilish smirk. His thumbs hooked on the loops of her jean shorts, fingers tapping a secret message against her hips. "Was." She finished dramatically before leaning down, peppering kisses around Leo's cheek, purposely avoiding his lips. The boy groaned, turning his face to try to capture her lips. She pressed deliciously against him, preventing him from moving. Leo growled when Piper pulled back. His fingers dug into her hips ready to flip the teasing girl over and kiss her exactly how he wanted to. He nearly missed the sound of her father's voice.

"Piper!" The petite girl jolted up, rolling off her boyfriend and onto the carpeted floor with a soft crash. Piper bit back a groan as she pressed her hand to her bottom. Her bright eyes darted to her closed bedroom, quickly pressing her finger against her lips, shushing Leo. Leo had flipped over to check if she was ok, panting softly from their making out session. Piper looked like a hot mess with her silky hair ruffled from Leo's fingers, lips thoroughly kissed, and cheeks flushed with color. One of her tank top straps was slipping off of her slender shoulders. Leo just wanted to reach out and pull her into another intense kiss. "I'm home!" Her dad's muffled voice cut through the Leo's lust driven thoughts.

"Shit. Fuck." Piper cursed as she tried to comb through her tangled locks. She looked at Leo with wide eyes before they narrowed. "You're gay."

"Excuse me?" Leo whispered back, grabbing a stuff bear from her bed and placed it discretely on his lap. "I think Mr. Teddy here has to disagree." Piper's eyes slowly slide down, noticing the bear strategically placed on his lap. She bit a lip trying not to giggle. The couple paused as they heard her dad putting his jacket away in the closet. "This is your fault." Leo murmured, gesturing to his 'problem'.

"I'll take full responsibility." She whispered back flirtatiously as she stood up, inches away from Leo's lips. Just as he reached forward, Piper spun around to pull a cardigan from her closet and slipped it on. Tease, Leo thought as he moaned, flopping back on the bed. "You're keeping that teddy bear by the way. Now, run into the bathroom and flushed in a few minutes. I need to…"

"Stall your dad?" Leo finished, trying to calm himself down with visual images of their teachers. Poseidon in a bikini. Ares in a cocktail dress. Leo sat up, running his fingers through his messy brown hair.

"I was going to say prep him but stall works as well." Piper quipped, walking over and wrapping her arms around Leo's neck. His hands naturally fell over her waist. "Please don't say anything stupid. I really want him to like you." Leo tugged her close, kissing her lips gently.

"I'll try." Leo promised against her lips before he allowed her to slip out of his loose hold. His deep brown eyes were shut, unable to watch her leave. Piper's peppy voice greeted her father a few seconds later like how every good daughter should. Their voice faded as she led him towards the kitchen a safe distance away. Leo looked down at the bear sitting in his lap. "Thanks for the back-up." He muttered before sneaking into the clean hallway bathroom.

"Ok, no need to freak out, Leo." The short young man told his mirror-self as he turned on the water. The cool liquid ran through his fingers before he splashed his face, meeting his own gaze. "You're a mess." He laughed, noting his little imperfections. His unruly locks were even messier than usual; sticking up in odd angles partly from Piper's wandering fingers. His button shirt was half undone, Piper's fault again, un-tucked from his jeans. The right elbow of his long sleeve shirt had an oil stain from working at the garage. A heavy sigh escaped Leo's mouth. "Very presentable, Valdez. Piper's father is going to love you." He ran his fingers through his hair, tucked his shirt in, and rolled up the sleeves. Flashing a shaky smile, Leo gulped and prepared himself for judgment day.

"Dad, nothing happened." Piper lied expertly, her voice traveling through the narrow hallway. Leo smiled to himself as he eavesdropped. "We were studying. Leo's my tutor. He's very helpful in calculus." At least that's true. Leo thought with a tiny grin.

"I'm not accusing you of anything, sweetie." A deep voice responded, sounding very familiar to Leo's ears. "I'm just uncomfortable with the idea of you being alone with some boy."

"It's my fault, Mr. McLean. The library is too distracting for me." Leo started, appearing with a good natured smile before his jaw dropped. "Tristan?"

The very good-looking middle-aged man with closely cropped black hair and smiling dark eyes turned at the sound of Leo's voice. He had a sexy subtle scruff which lined his strong chin. "Leo?" Tristan exclaimed, also gaping at the young man who was supposedly tutoring his daughter. The two men traded shocked expressions as Piper glanced between them with a suspicious look. "I thought you were a college student."

"I am. I'm doing community college during my senior year." Leo answered automatically, not believing his eyes.

"Wait, wait, wait one second." Piper demanded, holding her hand up. "How do you know my dad?" She pointed at Leo like he did something wrong before spinning around and gestured to her father. "And how do you know Leo?" Leo chuckled nervously as he started backing up towards the hall, calculating how long it would take to get his stuff and run out before she noticed. Piper knew him too well for a girl who he only dated for three months grabbed Leo's arm and dragged him deeper into the kitchen. "You're not going anywhere, mister."

"Gah, I need that arm, Pipes!" Leo cried as she shoved him beside her dad. Leo forgot how short he was until he stood by Tristan's lanky form. His dark eyes flickered over and met Tristan's. "Do you want to tell her or should I?"

"Ahahaha, I can't believe that line actually worked on my daughter." Tristan laughed as Leo handed him a dirty plate. Leo joined in as well; grinning at Piper's miffed expression. The dinner wasn't too awkward after Piper got over the initial shock. Leo and Tristan actually met long before Leo started dating Piper. Tristan was a regular of Hephaestus' mechanic shop, stopping periodically for tune-ups and guy chats with the owner. It was inevitable Leo and Tristan would meet and chat. Also, it wasn't every day you get to ask a movie star about girl advice. "Were you planning on using that line on Piper?"

Leo flushed red and focused intently on scrapping the last of their dinner into the bin. "Daddy," Piper whined with a slight blush as well. The two smiled at each other.

"What? It landed you this stud." Tristan teased, draping his arm around Le's shoulder and shook him like a son. Leo laughed, handing the older gentleman the second plate.

"Don't stroke his ego." Piper warned as her cell phone vibrated on the table followed by a familiar ringtone. Both Tristan and Leo paused, recognizing the ringtone Piper set for her mother. "Um… I'll call her back later."

"Answer it, Pipes." Leo encouraged, knowing how infrequent Aphrodite's calls were. "Tristan and I will play nice." Piper's eyes flickered between them before nodding, picking up her phone. Leo watched as she disappeared down the hall. Her typical bright 'hello' answered the call. The easy atmosphere seemed to slowly dissipate between the men. "So, how's your car?"

Tristan chuckled but didn't answer Leo's casual question as he closed up the dishwasher. It felt as if Tristan switched modes. The friendly pal Leo know from hours of chatting in the messy garage transformed into a stern fatherly figure Leo expected at first. He crossed his arms over his broad chest, regarding Leo with his deep soulful eyes. "You love my daughter, Leo." The way he said it felt more like a statement instead of a question.

"I…" Leo stuttered, leaning back on the other counter with his hands pressed against the edge. "We both know there's only one correct answer." Tristan half-chuckled and wiped his wet hands on the dishtowel, still studying Leo. "Maybe," the Latino boy answered truthfully, meeting Tristan's deep brown eyes. He knew three months isn't long enough to figure out if you're in love with someone, even someone as amazing, wonderful and bright as Piper. Leo couldn't lie to Tristan.

Tristan's subtle smile shifted just enough to look like a frown. "I like you, Leo. I know underneath all that hyper energy, detached façade and self-deprecating comments is a good kid. Just don't let your darker side take over, Leo." Leo swallowed the awkward lump in his throat, looking at the checkered pattern of the kitchen floor. Of course Tristan knew about Leo's dark past. It was obviously from where he worked. Hephaestus' garage for troubled youths. Leo braced himself for the 'I-don't-approve-of-you' speech he always gets from fathers. "I just want one thing, Leo. Don't hurt her but if you do, don't hurt her too much."

Leo looked up and met Tristan's honest face. He knew how wonderful and dangerous love was. Leo nodded his head before whispering. "She'll hurt me first." A sad smile tugged at his expressive face changing it into a melancholy look. The tension between the two men shattered when Piper's voice echoed down the hall, biding goodbye to her mom. Leo's face instantly perked up at the sound of her voice. She appeared, smiling at them.

"Hey, did you miss me?" Piper asked as she walked in, touching Leo's arm reassuringly.

"Every second," Leo whispered back, slipping his fingers between hers. "I should head home now. I have an English paper to finish."

"Of course," Piper replied, shooting a glare at her dad like he had something to do with Leo's quick escape. Leo smiled to himself as he grabbed his backpack and shrugged on his soft leather jacket. He bided Tristan a polite goodbye with a handshake before Piper escorted him out.

"I really do have a paper due tomorrow." Leo said as they stepped into the elevator. Piper hummed in response as she wrapped her arms around his slender waist, holding him close. Her soft scent of roses and lilies invaded his nose. His arms played with the ends of her long chocolate locks. "This isn't a plan to escape your father. So don't be too tough on Tristan."

"I still can't get over the fact you two knew each other. I was expecting the usual awkward interrogation or star-struck gaze and stuttered for an autograph." Piper admitted as she elevator dinged and slide open. Leo stepped out with his fingers entwined with Piper's tugging her into the lobby.

"Hmm… and how much does a Tristan McLean sell for on ebay?" Leo pondered before laughing as he dodged Piper's punch. "Hey, hey, be nice." He teased, pulling her close as his fingers slipped behind her neck, resting their foreheads together. "Who needs his signature? I have his daughter in my arms." Piper rolled her eyes at him and pulled him down to shut him up with her lips.
