100 Moments for a Couple Never Meant to Be

by Percyjacksonfan3

Written for the 100 Drabbles/100 Prompts challenge. I was given 100 prompts, a couple, and was told to write 100 drabbles for each, each one less than 600 words. Leo/Reyna goodness, everybody, who doesn't want to read that? Rated M for later chapters. All rights go to Rick Riordan!

"Favourite colour."

"Red," Reyna replied, not even looking up from her book. It was a good one, about gods and monsters and demigods. "You knew that."

"Just checking," Leo replied, from where he was assembling a set of drawers from IKEA in their apartment living room. They had moved in together just last month and now were starting to buy new appliances, replacing the ones they had each come with.

She looked up at him, watching as his face screwed up and he stuck out his tongue slightly in concentration. It was cute, Reyna couldn't help but think with a small smile. "Do you need any help?"

Leo was a master when it came to building and repairing things but Reyna felt lazy just sitting in front of him on the couch and reading. She was usually so busy but college was just finishing up and she had written her last exam yesterday. She felt like she had nothing to do.

"No, I'm fine," he replied. "Okay, back to the game. Favourite book?"

It was a typical average afternoon for them.

Leo was a mechanic, one of the best at his repair shop. It ran in his family, he had told her. His father was even better at repairs than Leo and despite his divorce from Leo's mother, Aphrodite, he made more than enough to keep Leo and himself living comfortably. He had decided against further education in favor of going out in the real world.

Reyna had met him when her friend, Annabeth, had somehow bust a tire and needed help. She brought it to Leo's mechanic shop and, badda bing, badda boom, it was love at first sight.

Or at least that's how Leo told it. In truth Reyna had thought him a dirty grease elf and he had relentlessly asked her for her number numerous times until Reyna finally gave in and gave it to him.

Hey, he had been funny. Plus he was kind of cute….

From there it was love at first sight. Or first… date.

Leo had taken her out to eat and (somehow unsurprisingly, even though Reyna hardly knew him) he had taken her out for pizza.

Now she snapped back to the present when Leo, out of the blue, said, "I'm hungry."

She set aside her book and stood up smiling. "Come on," she said, grabbing her purse. "Let's go out for pizza."
