73. Sigh
Leo heard Reyna sigh. "This is stupid," she called out.
"Keep looking!" A voice that sounded like Percy hissed from the darkness.
"Yeah Reyna, you'll never find us!" Travis called.
Leo smiled to himself and peeked through the patch of trees he was hiding in. A group of demigods were playing hide and go seek that night near the forest and Leo had hid behind the cover of some branches that created a little niche; the perfect place to hide.
Reyna was seeking- and not enjoying it by the sounds of it.
He saw her pass just in front of the trees he was hiding in and smiled. Her flashlight hadn't even moved over to check close to where he was.
"Seriously guys, we should go swimming or something." Katie called.
"Yeah, I'd love to go swimming." Annabeth agreed.
"Whatever you losers decide to do it'll be lame!" Clarisse yelled from far away.
"Don't listen to her, she just wants to keep winning." Chris called in response.
"We could swim after Reyna's found all of us." Leo suggested.
Reyna paused and turned around, heading back to where his voice had come from and Leo groaned internally. He shouldn't have opened his mouth.
"Where are you, Leo?" Reyna asked. Her flashlight crept closer to his thicket of trees, stopping near where their lowest branches were brushing the ground.
Leo held his breath and she got closer to him, her flashlight shining around only to stop on the sight of his sneakers.
"Found you." Reyna called.
"You have to come and get me!" He replied.
Reyna sighed again. "Seriously?"
"Unless you wanna keep looking alone."
Another sigh. "Fine."
She cracked several branches and then before she knew it Leo was putting his arms around her and pulling her to him, causing her to shriek indignantly and wack him on the shoulder.
"Hey," he said.
She rolled her eyes. "Leo, what are you-"
He kissed her to shut her up. He meant for it to be over quickly, he really did, but then she did that thing with her tongue which caused him to groan, which made him open his mouth, which made Reyna slip her tongue in and-
And then they were backed up against a tree and making out like crazy, forgetting all about the demigods outside their little hiding spot who were still debating whether to keep playing or not.
Eventually they sorted themselves out and pulled away from one another. Reyna rested her forehead against Leo's shoulder and sighed, this time in happiness.
"Later," Leo said. "Right now we have some people to find."
Right on cue Jason yelled out, "Hey Reyna, where are you? You better not be making out with Leo somewhere!"
Reyna sighed for what seemed like the billionth time before surprising Leo by giggling. "Later," she agreed.
Leo sighed in resignation. That would have to do.
