So, Ah, You're Cute
Leo rocked on his feet and fixed his bowtie.
Today, today was the gosh darned day, the day…! Where Leo would desperately, hopefully get Nico di Angelo to go on a date with him.
There's only one problem, he needed to actually ask the Son of Hades. Which; turns out to be harder than he originally thought.
So, here he stands, outside the Hades cabin in Camp Half-Blood, waiting for his beautiful Italian.
Well… not his per say, hopefully soon, yes, but not now, really, how the hell was Leo expecting Nico to say yes to him? He should just stick with the fact that they're friends.
Leo visibly deflated and pushed back his fringe. He just talked himself out of it. Leo puffed out some air and turned around; he made it down one step before a long hand clasped his wrist.
Leo cringed inwardly. Five tries, and now this happened.
"Valdez?" Nico's now deep voice (Leo basically fainted when he first heard it). "What's up?"
Leo spun around slowly, trying to slow down time for a few seconds so he didn't have to see Nico. When he did though, he stopped for a second. Nico got hot. And tall. And hot. Looking up at the Italians face Leo nearly swooned, but Nico's grip on his wrist grounded him.
"Nothing." Leo squeaked when Nico raised his eye brow. How is he sexy even doing that? Fuck. Nico smirked and let go of Leo's wrist. A little something in Leo's chest died.
"Why are you so dressed up?" Nico asked him, looking him over with a glint in his eyes.
Leo steamed. Nico smirked. "A-a guy can look hot!" Leo sputtered.
Nico placed the back of his hand on Leo's forehead. "Well, you're very hot." Nico said in a low voice. Leo felt fire licking at his fingertips.
"Ah-um, well- you're just cold!" Leo said lamely, but Nico just smiled lightly.
He pulled away his hand. "You warm me up."
Okay, there was fire coming out of his ears now. Leo could tell. But, he felt his Gryffindor courage come back to him. This was his chance.
"So, ah," Leo began, looking anywhere but Nico's cool face. "You're cute." He heard Nico chuckled. He glanced at the other boy and expected the worst, but found a smiling, blushing –blushing! - Nico di Angelo. It's now or never, baby.
"So… I-uh…thinkweshouldyouknowgoonadateorsomethingcauseyou'relikereallyhot." Leo said quickly staring intently at Nico's face, who was smiling with mirth.
"And you called me cute, Valdez." He teased.
Leo pursed his lips. "Soooooooo?"
Nico smirked and grabbed Leo around his waist and pressed their bodies together. "Warm me up, Valdez."
