Style: One-shot Chapters; Small plot
Pairing: Percy/Leo
Chapters Total: 50
Summary: Percy has recently broken up with Annabeth on mutual feelings. The daughter of Athena was more or less in love with a certain Praetor of Rome already. Finally, she and Reyna were in love, after many years of dreaming. But what about Percy? He had finally built the courage to tell Nico about his feelings (Nico's confession never happened), but he had only been rejected. Apparently, Jason and Nico were already dating, unknown to everybody. He had spent the whole night not crying, but just being sad. And a son of Hephaestus was feeling the same way. He hadn't known Jason was cheating on him until Percy told him. And that fact just made his life harder. Somehow, though, Percy has found a way to cope through the depression. And what might that be? Well, he spends his time wooing Leo Valdez.

"Leo, we need to talk."
He sniffled. "About what?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about." Nyssa grunted, kicking her feet. "Why the heck are you going out with the same person who cheated on you? And so nonchalantly?" She flicked at her nails.
"Because he - uh, well - apologized and stuff and I felt really bad 'cause what if it was just a misunderstanding and-"
Nyssa groaned. "That's not how things work. Cheating is cheating is cheating." She looked away, drawing her knees up to her chest. "I'm not going to restrict you from doing what you want, but..."
"I'll be careful."
Damn right you will.

"So I wanted to go watch a movie today..."
Leo looked to his side where Percy was lounging. "Uh, yeah?"
Percy just threw his head back and closed his eyes. "The movie theatre's closed."
Leo scoffed. "Is that really going to stop you from going?"
"Nope. And I'm inviting you with me."
Well, it was hot outside and Leo was bored, so why not? "Sure, I'll go."
Percy put on a shark grin and got up. He stretched and yawned, causing Leo to yawn as well. "Well, then, let's go!"
Leo went back to his cabin and found his bag. He stuffed some cash and water inside before slipping his tool belt on and patting his head.
When he went out, Percy was already waiting for him. "You ready?" he asked, one eyebrow raised.
"We're about to break into a movie theatre and steal popcorn," he sighed. "Hell yeah I'm ready!"
"Great. Follow me."

The movie theatre was far. Far enough that Leo could take a nap (which he did) and wake up, only to still have a long way to go.
Located in the middle of the city, Percy and Leo had to ask Argus to drive them to it. The hundred-eyed guard said yes, albeit reluctantly. He dozed off once before being woken up to the sound of heavy traffic.
"Crap," Percy said, holding his head, "it's a traffic jam." He grabbed Leo's wrist and opened the car door, racing out. "Thanks, Argus!" They saw the car back up and drive off, a little bit frustrated. Uh, Argus, not the car.
"Now what?" Leo asked, still looking forward to getting into the theatre.
"Now, we walk."
They jogged on the sidewalk, looking at the traffic beside them. It didn't seem to be clearing up, so walking was definitely faster at this point. Soon enough, the bright movie theatre was in view. Percy was the first one to react, seeing if anybody was around to catch them.
"Come on, let's go!" he yelled, already poking at the lock on the door. Leo complied, running over to help with the lock.
The door broke open with a lock pick or two, revealing the colourful lobby. Empty couches were laid in every corner, the whole room focusing on the stairs at the back of the room. They raced up only to be hit by the strong scent of buttery popcorn.
"This is pretty much what I came for," Leo said, running towards the popcorn. He looked over the machine once before acting, getting a paper container and taking large scoops of popcorn into it. Percy, however, was looking at the butter dispenser. Leo had luckily grabbed the largest container he'd ever seen. It could fit enough popcorn for both of them.
Percy chuckled. "Hey, pass the popcorn. Let's butter it up." He grabbed several straws and gestured for the bucket. Leo tossed it to him popcorn flying in the air, and walked over.
"There's a specific trick to butter all your popcorn, ya know..." he trailed off, sticking the straws into the popcorn. "Just pour butter down the straws to get it to the bottom."
"That's absolutely genius," Leo laughed. He watched as the butter trailed down the straw, dripping out the sides and making its way to the surface. "I'm going to do my amazing tricks with the drinks, yeah?"
He headed over to the drink section, swiping two large drink cups on the way. He knew Percy liked Blue Coke, but that required some food colouring and way more sugar. He swirled some Pepsi and Fanta in one cup for him, and then some normal Coke into the other. Leo shoved his hand into his tool belt pocket and retrieve food colouring. His tool belt was a bit reluctant giving it up, though, as if to say why the heck do you need this? Leo just took a few drops of it and threw them into the Coke, turning it into a nice blue. How a few drops of colouring did that to a darker colour, he didn't know.
"The popcorn is officially way too unhealthy," Percy declared with a grin. Sure enough, the entire surface was dripping with butter, making its way into the small crevices.
Leo grinned as well, running a hand through his hair. "I'm so going to get sick," he said.
They crashed into theatre 2, and after some tweaking Leo did, the giant screen was playing Finding Dory (Percy insisted, although Leo didn't know why.) Thankfully, no ads were playing, because Leo was totally the type to finish his popcorn before the movie began. Percy propped his feet up against the seat in front of him, leaning back and sipping his Coke.
Leo was absorbed in the movie, actually, and adored the plot. He saw in the corner of his eye Percy, whose eyes were glued onto the screen, not even touching the popcorn.
The movie ended with a few tissues and water, which Percy shook up. "I can't believe she finally found her family," Percy sobbed before dabbing the corners of his eyes. Leo inwardly rolled his eyes at Percy's sensitivity to Dory. He had heard from Nico about Percy's affection with the blue fish but hadn't. Thought. It was. This. True.
Leo tried to ignore the fact that his eyes were moist too, as was his sleeve.
"You're coming with me if they ever release a Finding Marlin," Leo said. Percy looked up and shot him a lopsided smile..
"Please, I'd go with you to any movie," he replied nonchalantly and broke a window, jumping out.
Leo just blinked a few times and followed him.
