Leo sighed and twirled his pen lightly as the bell rang to signal the start of math. Word was,there was a transfer student here today. Leo wondered who they were,but if they were another asshole he'd have to tell them to fuck off.

As class started,Leo didn't pay attention,his mind drifting off,until he heard the teacher say, "And,there's a new transfer student,to those of you who don't know. Now,come on up Jason,don't be shy."

"Hot damn." Leo mumbled as he saw 'Jason' as the teacher called him,walk up. He was wearing ripped jeans,a purple t-shirt,he had pretty sea green eyes,black hair,and was about a head taller than Leo. And he had this little scar on his lip. Cute. He was confused by the sudden feeling,but sat upright as Leo heard him talk. "So...hi. My name is Jason Grace,I'm Thalia Grace's half-brother,I moved here a week ago,and...that's it." Fuck,his voice was hot.

After the teacher said something to Jason,he walked over,and Leo's heart did something that could only be properly described as trying to do a backflip but fainting in the middle. Shit,Leo didn't know someone could be that hot in a t-shirt.

Ugh,why do all the transfer students either have to be hot or an asshole?

"Hey,earth to...whoever you are! Can I sit in the seat next to you?"

Leo blinked,shaking from his thoughts,and,without knowing,a smirk slid across his face. "Course you can,in fact you could even sit one over if ya wanted."

Well,that was smooth.

Jason gave him a puzzled look,sitting down. "But that seat's occupied-" He sputtered,choking on what seemed to be his own spit and embarassment.

"Dude! Relax,I was just kidding! Though you are kinda cute,considering I'm probably straight..."

Jason gave him a look. "Well yeah,you're gonna give me an existential crisis." Leo laughed a bit,and said, "Ah,even hoping for an existential crisis is beyond me,think I've used them all up in the past minute when you walked in." Then he winked,and Ms. Jackson said, "Valdez,Grace,no flirting in the back!"

Leo's face practically set on fire as he realized what he had just been doing,and he scribbled on his homework,which nobody had said he couldn't do in class.


After math was done,Leo sighed in relief,happy that school was over,only to see Jason open the locker next to his.

Shit. Why is he so hot?

Leo leaned against his locker. "Huh. Guess I'll be seeing you around a lot."

Jason felt his cheeks flush,and he muttered, "Fuck..." When Leo looked a little downcast,he said, "Well if you keep being such a flirt,you'll scare most people off." Leo laughed a bit,then said, "Oh,so that's why you've been blushing like hell when you're around me."

He sighed,annoyed. "That is a common occurrence when cute short guys with pretty brown eyes flirt with me constantly."

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck-

His thoughts were interrupted by Jason giving Leo a look for being quiet that long. "What,are you one of those weird homophobes that are actually scared of gay people?" Leo looked at Jason like he had just spit poison,and said, "No,god,who do you think I am,the fucking police?"

Jason looked at him confused,and said, "Well what is it,then?"

Leo,slumping slowly against his locker,eyes wide with a grin that looked like he had just been stabbed in the gut,clapped his hands together once,kept them there,and said, "I am definitely not straight,how about that!"

Jason felt this weird...tingly feeling when Leo said that. Why...did he feel this way? Sure,Leo was cute,but Jason didn't like him or anything.

Fast forward a week later,the strange,newfound feelings hadn't subsided at all in Jason,and to make it worse,Leo and him were friends now. And...they were having a sleepover after school today,at Jason's place,his parents were out of town.

As they walked out of school,Jason's hand itched to intertwine with Leo's. But...would that make Leo uncomfortable? Okay,fuck that,Leo had been flirting with Jason as a joke for the entirety of the week.

Jason was about to work up the courage to grab Leo's hand,when Leo popped his weird-ass Skittles gum. Jason gave Leo a look of disgust. Sure,Leo was cute,but Skittles gum was over the top.

"Hey. Wanna taste the rainbow?" Leo said,with his usual slight smirk. "No,Valdez,there's no way you're fucking selling off your crappy- holy shit that is the gayest one yet." Leo laughed. "Oh really,Gracie?" Jason blushed,looking away and grumbling slightly. "Shut up,Val." Leo grinned slightly,and said, "Huh,finally visibly got you? That one was honestly more of a joke than anything else,I'm surprised."

Jason sighed slightly,and mumbled, "They all got me,you just weren't paying attention."

Leo raised an eyebrow,and said, "You know I would've laid off,at least just a little if you had asked?"

Oh wow,no shit Sherlock,I totally didn't.

Leo noticed the irritated look on Jason's face,and said, "Yeah,believe it or not I could lay off the jokes." Jason laughed,and said, "You call being a total flirt joking? Wow,Leo,nice sense of humor."

"Why thank you,your Grace." Leo said,mock bowing.
