Chapter 4: Leo, Frank and Piper visit

A/N; this is a slightly funner chapter, I think, so yeah, Leo, Frank and Piper visit Percy. Also, I haven't read the HoO series so sorry if Pipes, Leo or Frank are OOC. Let's say age changed them if they are.

"So Leo, any girls finally looked past your strangely elfish features, lack of a sense of humour and height fit for a five year old and decided to go on a date with you?" Piper teased Leo as they sat around the coffee table in the living room, there was a space next to Percy but nobody said anything about it, that had been Annabeth's seat.

Leo went red from this comment and choked on his blue cookie (they were at Percy's, of course it was blue) "'Course not, why would you say that?" Leo asked in a voice higher and faster then his normal voice, as if he were a little kid who had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Oh come on, Valdez she was kidding, hang on, there is a girl isn't there?!" Percy asked with a grin, "wait, is it Calypso? I saw you with your arm around her at Annabeth's...you know what," everybody went quiet as if in an unofficial moment of silence for Annabeth. As quickly as it had begun it ended and they were all staring at Leo waiting for his answer.

"Geez, peer-pressure much? And no, it's not Calypso! Okay? We are just friends, I mean, we tried but it, it didn't work out with us," Leo said defeated.

"So you admit it, there is a girl," Piper grinned relentlessly.

"I never said that...I'll admit there is someone but...but I never said it was a girl," Leo said nervously, obviously uncomfortable with the situation.

Frank, seeing Leo's discomfort, decided to speak up, "I had a date!" this, as Frank had hoped, snapped Piper out of her thoughts, which involved staring at Leo with her mouth hanging open in shock.

"What, when, who, how, WHAT?!" was Piper's reply, "do we know her? What's she look like? What's her name?" All these came out at a million miles an hour.

"You don't know her, she has green eyes and straight blonde hair, her name is Jem," Frank said calmly, over the years he and the others had grown accustomed to Piper's babble when it came to romance. Although Piper herself wasn't very romantic she was a daughter of Aphrodite at heart.

"Okay, now that we know about Frank's date, back to you Leo," with this she spun around to face Leo again as both Leo and Frank cringed, "YOU! I've got no problem with you being gay-" "I'm not gay" "-but you could tell me! I've always wanted a gay best friend-" "bi" "-and now I have one! But that is not going to distract me, why didn't you tell me? Never mind, who is he, do we know him?!"

"Um, you do know him, but I am so not telling you who it is, and anyways, technically, we're not dating, I'm still working up the courage to ask him."

"Oh c'mon, I am not letting up till you tell me who your mystery guy is!" Piper said in the same million miles an hour chatter and Leo sighed, knowing once Piper got an idea in her head she wouldn't let it go.

"Fine, it's, um, N-n-" Leo stumbled through his words knowing that everyone would freak when he told them, "Nico!"

Everyone sat and stared at him, until finally Frank spoke up, "When did you get back in touch with him?"

"Couple of years ago, and well, we have more in common then one might realise," this confused everyone to no end, Leo Valdez and Nico Di Angelo having something in common, impossible! Percy meanwhile sat staring at the wall and wondering why, after ten years, that boy had chosen this time to pop back in to his life.

A/N: That's right, Valdengelo is in da house! Okay I'm never saying that again. But seriously, no hate for it, I like them together and it's my story, don't like don't read, it's that simple.
