A/N: Just thought this one up after a promotional video that had a similar thing to what happens with Leo. I figured he was someone who would do something like this, being who he is. It's fairly short, but I like it anyways.

Reading in the park had definitely not lost its appeal over the years. Despite how different I was now than when I was a kid, coming here with a book and reading for a few hours always seemed to clear my mind and refresh me.

Today, though I didn't know it yet, was going to be very refreshing indeed.

I had just set aside my book to take a sip of my coffee when I noticed a couple walking through the park. They must have been a fairly new couple, because the boy, who was on the skinny side with curly hair and a crooked smile, kept looking down at their hands together in awe, and the girl would smile knowingly every time she caught him doing it. Despite the boy's awkwardness, they were cute together, and the girl was extremely pretty, with her Cinnamon coloured hair.

As they got closer to me, the boy came to an abrupt halt, causing the girl to look over at him questioningly. "One sec, Sunshine! I'll be right back" the boy told her with an upbeat voice, grinning as he sauntered away. She watched him curiously, and I followed him with my eyes as well as the boy went over to a rugged looking man sitting in the grass in the park. He looked like he might be homeless, but I didn't pay enough attention to really know.

The boy knelt beside him and said a greeting, starting a conversation, and I heard an audible sigh come from beside me, turning to find the Cinnamon haired girl plop down on the other side of the bench I was sitting on, running a hand up and down her arm.

I decided to strike up a conversation, since she and the boy had caught my attention.

"Friendly guy?" I prompted, gesturing to her friend after she jumped a little, and turned to me.

She smiled weakly, in a nervous looking manner, "Yea, he's my boyfriend." She said quietly, "Likes to help out the homeless when he can, because he says he knows what it's like."

I raised an eyebrow, turning my eyes back on the boy, "Does he know what it's like?" I ask, intrigued.

"Leo had a tough childhood, is all I know, he hasn't told me everything yet, but he was in foster homes and didn't really like them."

I didn't turn away from 'Leo', but continued talking to her. I got the feeling she was watching him too. "So what's your name?" I asked her, watching intently as her boyfriend, Leo, reached into his pocket, fishing around for something.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see her smile faintly, like she knew what Leo was doing. "Calypso, you?"

I smiled widely seeing Leo had taken out his wallet, and fished out a few bills. He handed them to the homeless man with a grin and a pat on the shoulder, and the man took them gratefully, before reaching forward to give the boy a hug. "Madeline." I said finally, "but I prefer just Maddie."

"And this is Leo" Calypso said, with mock enthusiasm, as her boyfriend scampered over to us with an everlasting grin.

"Miss me sunshine?" he asked, pecking her on the cheek quickly as she stood up and wrapping an arm around her waist reflexively. He then noticed me and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Hi there! I'm Leo, though I bet Calypso has already told you all about me because I'm so great." Said girl rolled her eyes, but said nothing.

"Yea, she failed to mention that you were hyped up on sugar though." I replied wryly. He just took it in stride, like a joke he'd heard tons of times before, though, it could easily have been something he'd heard before.

"Yea, I'm just a tiny bit ADHD and all. It might be hard to tell, since I'm so suave and sophisticated all the time." He smirked, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Calypso patted his chest sympathetically, "Yea, like when you tripped yourself down the stairs of the Big House in a rush to get to your siblings two days ago. That was very sophisticated" she droned, laying it on thick with a poker face.

Leo must have missed the sarcasm, because he just took it as a compliment, "Why thank you." He said, before glancing at a watch on his arm that looked way too complicated for anyone's good. "Oh, we need to get back to Percy's apartment, otherwise we'll miss our ride back to camp!" he jumped into action and grabbed Calypso's hand, dragging her away. She waved to me and said goodbye, trying to keep her footing. I just laughed and waved back.

On my way home that day, I dropped a five dollar bill into the guitar case of a man playing in the subways. A few days later when I came back, the same man stopped me to say thank you, striking up a conversation about his four year old daughter who he was saving up money for the future of. When I got to the park, I soon noticed a man and recognized him as the one Leo had given some money to, but he was going into shops across the road with help wanted signs, holding papers with him that I assumed were a CV.

When the man came through the park, he stopped by a guy who looked around my age, sitting near where he had been sitting a few days ago in the same situation, and handed him a ten dollar bill with a smile.

All I could think was that Leo made that happen.
