AN: tomorrow's exam and i know i should be studying, but just a few hundred words won't hurt me :P Hey, I decided the next chapter, maybe cuz i have to write it today, and i'll be sleeping tomorrow. Yes the whole day. then i'll be writing new things, mainly Percabeth (i hope)
Anyway, yes this is from a song You found me, The Fray. I was listening to it a few minutes ago on the radio. Some lines reminded me of a great Leyna drabble (i hope)
You know I hate Halloweens, they creep me out. And Ew.
YOU FOUND ME
Leo didn't expect to see, the camp praetor in the deep forests in Camp Half Blood during celebration. Leo was pointlessly moving around, he knew he didn't fit in with the Hephaestus kids. And the six were doing whatever they want. As far as Leo knew, Percy and Annabeth were with the Oracle and Jason and Piper, sneaking off, again. Frank and Hazel, he really didn't care.
But when he heard Reyna sobbing in the middle of the forests, something in side him twisted. He didn't knew what it was, but something deep, deep inside him, hurt. He looked over and found her sprawled on the ground looking at the stars. For the first time Leo had known Reyna - which is not very long - he saw her hair out of her braid. Even though her eyes were red and puffy she looked beautiful.
He wasn't that much of a stealthy person so it didn't shock him when he snapped a branch and saw Reyna sitting up fast and taking out her daggers. The first thing that ran through Leo's mind was Holy cow, I'm dead. Hephaestus, Vulcan, father save me.
"Just a Mechanic, passing through, continue gazing at the stars, My Queen." That's what Leo called her, since the first day. At first, Reyna used to get a little angry, now she just rolls her eyes. But at this moment she wasn't rolling her eyes, she was glaring. Which Leo took as a bad sign.
"What are you doing here, Valdez?" She asked rudely, sitting up on the boulder beside her. Leo sat on the grass. Trying very hard not to take out his metal bolts and start tinkering or run away. She was wearing normal clothes, and not a toga. She was wearing blue jeans and an orange and purple t-shirt. Everyone's wearing them for camps unity or something.
"I just heard someone call my name." Leo said simply, not wanting to reveal the truth.
"Valdez?" Reyna looked at him with piercing eyes. "The truth."
"You wanna know the truth? I was walking alone here, nothing to do, and saw you sprawled on the ground sobbing." Leo looked a bit angry. "It seems like society doesn't need any of us, since they're not looking for us. So, tell me what's bothering you." His hair was on fire which sort of ruined the seriousness of the mood.
Reyna looked at him for a few moments. "And why would I tell you?" She asked.
"Because, we both are in need of friends." Leo muttered. "And it looks like you more than me."
Reyna sighed. She picked up a branch and started drawing random patterns on the ground. "I guess, it's all breaking down on me now. How much I've lost, I mean. After Jason cam here, I spent every minute trying to find him. I couldn't. Then Percy came. War, again. And this time, loss was massive than the Titan war. My friends died. Gwen, Dakota, Hylla, Argentum, Scipio. Jason isn't a Roman anymore. Not that much. And it seems like no one needs me anymore. So what's your problem?" She asked giving him a rueful smile.
"I guess Seventh Wheel." Leo sighed, returning her smile.
"Seventh Wheel?"
"Yeah, between the seven I was the last wheel. Percy and Annabeth, Jason and Piper and Hazel and Frank. No one bothers to mention me. And My family. They all look up to me, yeah, but they fear me too. Maybe I shouldn't have burned a few monsters to nothing when they tried to hurt Nyssa. And being the hottest person alive, is also a problem." He winked at her, earning a laugh. It was an amazing feeling.
"Maybe Valdez, we still have hope." Reyna took his arm and led him outside the camp, laughing at his jokes.
Everyone was shocked at first, seeing the Praetor and The Fire Guy together but they realized what happened. How they found each other. So after five years when they got an invitation card to the wedding of Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano and Leo Valdez, they weren't shocked.
After all, they found each other.
Lost and Insecure,
You found me, you found me
Where were you?
When Everything was falling apart
You found me - The Fray
AN: OMG Almost a thousand word drabble. Next up, Jasper and Leyna together titled 'THE WEDDING'
Bye
