Chapter Text
Hazel, Annabeth, and Piper, the three girls on the Argo II. The only girls there and the only girls who had cared for each other so much that they would trade the world for one another. Leo idolized their friendship.
When Jason, Leo, Frank, and Percy looked at their friendship with each other they got immensely jealous, to the point of them talking to each other. 4 boys, all with completely different characteristics tried to befriend each other. While Leo was loud and bright, he mainly interacted with his machines which made him have some difficulties talking to the boys. Jason and Frank were both quiet and kept to themselves it wasn’t as wise to befriend them. Percy was nice yet scary when it came to Annabeth, so they were a big no no. And their left Hazel and Piper. Like Hazels crush, Frank, she was quiet and scared. That doesn’t delay the facts that hazel was beautiful has heck. She was the opposite of him in almost every way. 2 ill-fated lovers with tragic pasts and one of them just shot down the others camp under a spell from an ancient deity and they both have a very good chance of dying, now that was Leos love story. The problem was Hazel’s boyfriend. The big, tall, hot muffin who is very skilled with a bow and arrow, usually isn’t the guy you want to mess with EVER.
As Leo sat alone in the downstairs pit filled the brim of active tin machinery, he cried. Cried about Hazel, This trip, the hypnotizing, the prophecy, and his genuine life. Things have been bad and now they are just getting worse. He sat alone wondering how he got there, and we didn’t he just leave. He may be suicidal but aren’t we all? He sat there, silently wailing waiting for someone to come and hug him, tell him it would be ok, but everyone was out living their life, trying to complete this treacherous quest. As he wiped his tears with a tissue from his toolbelt he stood up, to fall over Bunford staring at him, with his wooden…. seeing things (he doesn’t have eyes does he)? Bunford lifted and wiggled his 1 of 4 legs to the stairs, leading up to the dining room where piper and Jason were shouting their asses off, but at this time with each other?
“What it’s because you’re in love with Annabeth or something?!” Jason screamed loudly, but not loudly enough for others to see.
“No Jason I just can’t do this anymore! I am living a lie, we all are! A lie that is Gaia will spare our lives once she takes over!” piper retaliated.
“Piper… please”
“I’m sorry Jason.” She said as he waled out of the room, tears coming down his eyes, the same as Pipers.
Leo stood making his was out of the engine room, his mind saying know but when ever did he act upon that? He stood their silently, like a child watching his parents fight, except this time its his best friends.
“Leo?” piper said, noticing him and quickly wiping away her own tears. Both their eyes red and puffy Leo went to sit net to piper, against the wall and cry together, showing their care and trust in each other. Leo may not be in a romantic relationship, but he had finally come to the realization that these are the people he could trust, no matter who is fighting, they all fought together.
