Hello! Very quick Leyna. Expect 2 multi chapter stories soon to make up for Gruniper and Chrisse.
"Leo?" Reyna called. "Where'd you go?" She glanced at the cabins around her, trying to spot Leo's familiar figure. He wasn't there. She did see Annabeth though, and after stopping her to ask about Leo, she set off to the lake.
She found him there, as expected. What she did not expect was his outfit. He was floating in the middle of the lake, in floaties. Not normal, orange, floaties; bright pink ones.
"Reyna!" he yelled, waving. He paddled over to where she was in jerky arm and leg swings. She waved back slowly.
"What are you wearing?"
Leo looked down at his floaties. "Percy gave them to me so he doesn't have to make sure I drown."
"And he didn't have another color available?" Reyna asked wearily.
"Yes, but I liked these ones."
Oh gods.
"You know, the water's really nice," Leo said.
"That's nice, but I'm not in a swimsuit."
Leo frowned. "I could say to buy one at the camp store, but that's a waste of words." He unsteadily swam over to shore. He dragged himself onto dry land and dramatically crawled over the Reyna before collapsing.
"I need mouth-to-mouth," he stage whispered.
"I'm not kissing you," Reyna said. "Not after you just went swimming."
"Yet you'll kiss me when I'm beaten and bloody."
"That's different."
Leo stood up and shook his head like a dog. Reyna glanced up at him. He was wearing flame patterned swim trunks and she could see where his tan begun on his arms.
"Stop staring in my abs," Leo said jokingly. Reyna laughed.
"You don't have abs, you're scrawny."
"I invented scrawny," Leo huffed. A sudden grin lit up his face. Reyna was too afraid to ask why.
"You sure you're not going swimming?" Leo asked.
She nodded.
"Too bad."
Leo stepped closer to her and picked her up before she could blink. His pink floaties pressed into her side. He jogged the short distance to the lake in seconds.
"Have fun," he muttered before unceremoniously throwing her into the lake.
She was almost instantly engulfed in cold water. Reyna pushed herself off the bottom of the rocky lake and broke the surface.
"Valdez!" She spluttered. "I'll kill you!"
Two pink floaties hit the water near her face. "Don't drown," he called before running off towards the cabins. Reyna pulled a dagger the belt on her waist and stabbed the floaties viciously before wading to shore.
Reyna wrung out her sopping wet toga and ran off towards the cabins.
Leo was hiding under the Stoll brother's bunk. It only cost Reyna a drachma to get them to tell her.
She entered the Hermes cabin slowly. From the doorway she could she the edge of Leo's flame colored swimsuit. He'd chosen such an excellent hiding spot.
Reyna kneeled down next to the bunk. Leo was hunched in a ball with his hands over his eyes.
"Hi, Leo."
He started and banged his head against the top of the bunk.
"Oww," he groaned. He rolled out from under the bed to her feet. "Is it too late to say I'm sorry?"
"Yes," Reyna said before dragging him out of the cabin and into the central green. She stopped near Hestia's fire. The goddess was nowhere in sight.
Reyna kneed Leo in the groin and threw him into the fire.
"Ughhhhh," Leo moaned.
"Have fun!" Reyna called over her shoulder. She left Leo in his heap in the fire the rest of the day.
Off the see SOM. R&R!
