Bring It On, Valdez (Leo Valdez x Reader)

Chapter 5.

(A/N: Okay guys, school is starting back up soon, so I'm gonna do my best to update as much as I can. Thanks for understanding :D And I kinda wanna put myself in this story to throw you off a bit, also to give you another sibling, since idk your godly parent. Good idea, or not? I need advice.)

Your Point of View:

Today marks 3 weeks that you have been at Camp Half-Blood. And all of those days have been intervened none other than Leo Valdez.

Not like you minded.

He would oh, so nonchalantly slip into some of the activities you were doing with the other campers just to have a conversation. In all honesty, you thought it was extremely sweet that he wanted to spend time with you.

Right now, you were using your (weapon of choice) to completely annihilate a training dummy, your brothers and sisters watching in awe at your progression.

You were incredibly skilled with your trusty (weapon of choice), and excelled in both weapon and hand-to-hand combat.

Once again, pretty badass.

You attacked your target with fluent and skillful movements.
Unbeknownst to you, a pair of mesmerizing honey brown eyes were glued to you, clouded with a barely hidden emotion.

Leo's Point of View:

I was walking around camp towards the arena with Jason to start training.
Personally, I'm going in the hopes of seeing and talking to (Y/N).
But, shhhh.
Jason doesn't know that.

"Hey, hammer head, wake up," I hear Jason calling me from my thoughts.
"Yeah, yeah, real funny, Superman. Call the mechanic 'Hammer Head'. Real original," I say with a sly smirk.
Jason smiles and playfully shoves me to the side.

"So," Jason says to me, smirking, and dragging out the 'o'.
"So?" I mimic him.
"You and the new girl." Jason wiggles his eyebrows in a suggestive manner.

Uh, oh.

I gulp nervously, thinking about the gorgeous (H/C)-haired demigod with the dazzling (E/C) that can melt anyone's heart in under a second.

And that smile, oh, that smile. It would be enough to make Nico smile, had they met yet.
Note to self: introduce (Y/N) to Nico.

"W-what are you talking about?" I reply, mentally cursing myself for stuttering.

Jason just looked at me with a knowing smirk of triumph, oh gods, what's he thinking?!

"You go google-eyed whenever she's around, Leo. You though no one would notice? Piper has been talking about (you and Leo's ship name) being her OTP since (Y/N) came to camp!" Jason laughed lightheartedly at me.

"I do not!" I defended.
Do I? I though to myself.
Jason just closes his eyes and shakes his head at me.

As we enter the arena, I immediately spot the person that doesn't seem to want to leave my thoughts.

Cue the love-struck sigh.

(Y/N) is using her (weapon of choice) to turn one of the training dummies into a pile of rubble.
Sweet.

I watch as her (H/C) hair sticks to her forehead with sweat, her (E/C) filled with determination, her hair flowing almost fluidly through the air as she strikes her target gracefully.

Gods, what is she doing to me.
"Yeah," I hear Jason chuckle beside me, trying to contain his laughter, also snapping me out of my trance.
"You definitely don't like her," he drawls as he points to my head.
My head?

Reaching a hand up, I quickly realize that my hair is on fire.
Patting it as quickly as I can, I make sure all the flames are out before I embarrass myself.

I can feel my cheeks and they feel like their on fire, but it's okay, I've already checked. Their not.
But I'm not blushing from embarrassment.
I was blushing before that happened.
Jason's knowing smirk told it all to me.

"Don't you have a girlfriend to smother?" I ask sarcastically, trying to change the subject. He lifts his hands up in defeat with a passive look on his face. The smirk still lingered.

He turned on his heel towards the nearest dummy, giving me one last glance to say, "You might wanna get her before it's too late, Leo. Your not the only one that wants her attention." He gestured his head with one quick nod, signaling to look behind me.

Doing as he did, I quickly turn around to see a blond-haired, gray-eyed boy talking to her with a big smile on his face.
And (Y/N) was blushing.

A forceful tug in my gut made me scowl at the kid.
Wait.
Am I, the super sized McShizzle, Leo Valdez,
Jealous?

The answer is yes.

I put on my cheeky grin as I quickly sauntered towards them, not wanting to worry (Y/N), since we have become pretty close. If she saw me mad, she wouldn't let it go until she got answers.

When I got close enough, I yelled, "Sup, (Y/N)?!"
Her sparkling eyes snap to mine as she smiles a big, almost relieved-looking smile.
"Leo!" She squeals happily. So cute.

Once I was next to the two, I casually slung my left arm around (Y/N)'s shoulder, giving the guy a clear message.

He got the message, he just didn't heed it.

He smirked at me, then turned back to (Y/N), making me glare at him.
Take a hint, buddy.

"So, (Y/N), what do you say? Tomorrow night at 8? Are we on?" He questioned with a sweet smile in her direction.
(Y/N) began to blush, not seemingly knowing what to do. So, naturally, I stepped in.

"Actually," I interrupted, making the blond boy growl at me.
"(Y/N) and I are going out tomorrow night. Too bad, so sad, goodbye," I said as I steered (Y/N) and myself away from a surprised teenager.
Phew, good job at the quick excuse, Leo.

Once we were on the outside ring of the arena, I stopped and glanced back at the retreating kid as he stomped away, making me giggle.

(Y/N) looked up at me (I'm only a few inches taller) with those big, sparkly (E/C) eyes.
And here we go.
My heart starts to thump loudly.
That stupid grin of mine subconsciously spreads across my cheeks.
She's got me wrapped around her finger without even knowing it.

"Thanks, Leo. I barely knew that guy," she said to me with a huge smile of relief.

Pride swelled up in me, giving me an extra boost of confidence.
Here goes nothing.
I give (Y/N) the biggest smile I can muster and take a deep breath.

"So... Are we on tomorrow night?"
