Finding Love - [ A Valgrace Fanfic] - [11+]

[Chapter #2: A "Calm" Day]

In The Morning...
JASON'S P.O.V:

Jason woke up and stretched his arms out, he tried to stretch his legs but suddenly felt something heavy on him. He looked down and noticed a ball of curly brown hair and baggy clothes covered with blankets was laying down on his chest. He took in the memories of yesterday.
*Right, I'm dating him now.* He thought, covering the events. He gently moved Leo off his chest, he eventually sat up and stretched his body. Once he felt fully awake, he stood up and walked over to the bathroom. He took a shower and got changed. When he came back out, he saw Leo's head sticking out from the bundles of blankets as he sleepishly rubbed his eyes. He blushed.
*Gosh, he looks so cute.* Jason thought,
"Good morning, how'd you sleep?" Jason said.
"Mornin'...I slept fine.." Leo said, clearly still a bit zoned out as he layed his head back down on the pillow.
"Are you hungry? Because if you don't get up now you're gonna miss breakfast." Jason said, smiling a bit more than usual.
Leo stretched and got up, stumbling a bit as he walked towards Jason. Jason grabbed his waist and pulled him into a hug.
Leo yawned,
"Can you walk me to my cabin so I can grab my clothes?" Leo asked.
"Of course." Jason said, he started heading out the door with Leo walking beside him, still a little sluggish.
*Clearly he's not a morning person.* Jason thought.
They made it to Cabin 9 and Leo went inside to grab his clothes, while Jason talked to Nyssa a bit.
Turns out, she was building a neat lizard that was *hopefully* gonna be fast enough to catch all those bugs that come into the cabin and bother them. She said so far, the lizard was working pretty well. Nyssa's mechanical skills were amazing, You gotta appreciate a good mechanic every once in awhile. Leo was just as good, if not better though, but that was probably just Jason's opinion. When Leo came out and successfully changed, he was wearing a blue shirt with his tool belt, and normal jeans. It seemed he always wore something casual, unless he was trying to impress someone of course. He always dressed up fancy when he knew they're was people to try to overtake and out best. Him and Leo started walking over to the palavin, when they got there, they grabbed some food and sat down to eat. After awhile, Piper come over and joined them.
"So, what happened with you two yesterday? I saw you guys running off together in the woods." Piper asked.
Jason and Piper had broken up, last Jason checked, it has been a year since that happened. He suspected that he had been so focused on work and..well..Leo..he hadn't really kept track.
"Oh, we kinda ran off to make out." He joked. Piper laughed, but she immediately noticed Leo's face turning as red as a tomato.
"No way, did you guys actually?" Piper said. "Nah, I'm just kidding. We are dating now though." He said, he really didn't know any other way to tell her, so might as well just point it out.
"Really? I knew you two were getting a little close. Going on you're secret little adventures." Piper said, she didn't seem mad though.
"Yeah, what about you? How's it been with you and Shel?" He asked. Piper blushed a bit.
"Oh, it's going well" She said.
"It's going well in like..you guys have a little thing going on?" Jason teased. Piper's face turned almost redder than Leo's did.
"No!" She said defensively. "We just....are hanging out more, y'know, to get closer..on best friend level." She said slowly, which made Jason suspect that he was right.
"But you're my best friend!" Leo butted in, his voice in a complaining tone.
"I can have two best friends! Both you and Jason are my besties, and Shel can be my bestie to."
"More like girlfriend.." Jason mumbled, but clearly they heard him. Leo giggled a bit, mostly trying to hold his laughter in, knowing Piper would probably kick his butt just like she was going to kick Jasons.
"Do you really want me to embarrass you, Grace?" She said, using his last name.
"No ma'am." He said, scratching his neck a bit.
"To late." Piper said. She got up on the table and shouted, "JASON GRACE IS GAY AND WANTS TO F*CK HIS BEST FRIEND!!" Piper yelled. Jason almost chocked on his drink, while Leo's hand set on fire and practically turned the food he was holding into ash. His face was a crimson red, and he quickly put out the fire and buried his face in his hands. Almost everyone at the pavilion burst out in laughter.
Piper sat back down and gave Jason the sassiest look.
"I warned you." She said.
"Pipes!! What the f*ck?! You said you were gonna embarrass Jason, not me!!" Leo said.
"You started giggling, so you deserved it too, and plus, I didn't specify who Jason's best friend was." She said.
"Nico's already taken, of course they know it's me!!" Leo buried his face in his hands again. Jason didn't realize that his face was totally red too. They all quietly finished breakfast, to embarrassed to talk. But for Piper, more like she was just taking in her victory in successfully embarrassing her friends.
When they were finished, Leo quickly took off to his workshop before Jason could talk to him. So he settled with calmly walking over to the workshop to talk to him.
When he got there, Leo was hyper focused on some sort of robotics he was building.
"Whatcha building?" Jason asked, scaring Leo and making him jump.
"Jason! Don't scare me like that." Leo said.
"Sorry," Jason said smiling softly at him, in which he responded by quickly looking away and saying,
"I'm working on a dolphin sculpture for Percy." Leo said.
"Oh ok, may I help?" Jason said, he wasn't a professional in building, but he did know his tools quite well.
"Sure" Leo said.
For the rest of the day, they spent their time working together on the dolphin sculpture. Eventually, it got late and they both headed back to the Zeus cabin to cuddle all night once more.
