Mending the Sea
(Juniper's juniper bush, Camp Half-Blood)
Grover was bored. Even though both his girlfriend, Juniper and his best friend, Percy, was with him. Maybe it would have been better if said best friend wasn't whining.
The son of Poseidon had been through a lot. But he was still inexperienced in the battlefield of love. He was pretty naive, it was sickeningly adorable. It was so sweet it was disgusting. Why couldn't he understand that Leo liked him? Why couldn't he understand that he liked Leo? Was it that complex? It was simple, they both liked each other so they should man up and admit it. But he couldn't tell him that. They had to figure their own...whatever-they-have on their own pace. Ugh, why was it so complicated?
"Dumb son of Hepheastus!", Percy complained.
"Percy, what exactly did he do wrong?", Juniper said calmly.
"He's charming and handsome and hot...and-and I hate him!"
"You say it as if its an insult", Grover said patiently.
"That's because it was a compliment! I think I might be falling for him, but I can't! Not after what happened with Jason!", he said.
"Percy, Leo is not Jason", Juniper pleaded.
"He loves you dearly", Grover added.
"How can you know that? How are you sure that its true love? How can you assure me that his intentions for me are pure? Huh?"
Tears were falling down now. His eyes were red. His head ached. His heart felt sore. His chest was in pain. That damn tinkerer.
(Bunker 9, Camp Half-Blood)
"I'm so stupid!", Leo whined, staring at the couple.
"We're not argueing with you", started Will.
"But why this time?", continued Jake.
"Because I left Percy while he was in pain and didn't even say bye!"
"That's pretty cruel", began Will.
"Seriously?", finished Jake.
"You both are complete and utter-"
"LEO VALDEZ!", boomed a voice.
"We're in the middle of something", said Will.
"Do you mind?", said Jake.
"I don't mean to interupt, but you", Grover pointed at Leo, "and I have to talk"
Leo gulped.
