Leo POV
As I was sitting by the canoe lake, Jason my best friend, (and crush) came to sit next to me. I try to look over at him without making it obvious that I am looking over at him. He taps my shoulder and I fully look over at him. "Hey Leo, I have a question" Jason said. There was nothing in the world I wanted to do more than hear his question at that moment. Instead of saying that I just responded with "What's sup?"
"I need some help with my sword fighting, so can you come help me practice before dinner?" He asks with an eager expression on his face. The scar on his lip quivered, I think I just realized how much I wanna kiss that scar. "Sure I'll help" I said. Jason stood up and extended his hands towards me, I took his hand and stood up. He let go and we walked towards the arena.
I took a sword from the selection, it felt weird tho. I was never very good at sword fighting. Jason flipped his coin and it turned into a sword. "Go easy on me superman, I am not the best at sword fighting," I joke. With a smile Jason says, "Okay I'll try fireboy," My heart starts pounding, fireboy? That's a new one. I smile "okay ready?" I ask holding my sword in my left hand.
"Go!" Jason shouts and lunges towards me. Our swords clang together on impact. Jason makes a swing at me but I dodge and make a stab at him. He blocks my attack with his sword. By now my heart is pounding, because of adrenaline and because of Jason. He looks so majestic yet deadly while he is sword fighting. If this is him going easy on my I pity any monster who dares attack him. He swings at me and I block our swords up against each other. Jason walks forward and I am forced backwards.
As I am walking back I trip on an uneven stone in the arena. I fall and my sword slides across the arena. I look up at Jason he is leaning down with his sword at my neck casting a shadow on my figure. Holy shit. I study Jason, his electric blue eyes are serious and deadly, his mouth is straight across his face, his posture is on edge like he is waiting for me to do something. Looking up at Jason and taking in his features I am reminded about just how beautiful he is.
We stay there for a few moments, he is looking down at me but I can't tell what he is thinking. His sword is at my throat and I think if I could die like this I could die happy. I am breathing heavily on the groun, his breath is heavy as well. I feel my face grow warm, I try to make sure my hair doesn't catch fire.
Suddenly, I hear someone shout our names Jason puts his sword down away from my throat and extends his hand to help me up. He's smiling at me as if nothing just happened. Then I am reminded, it was nothing to Jason. I was the only one that felt this way. I smile as if the dread that filled over me wasn't there and took Jason's hand.
As I stood up I looked over at Piper heading towards us. "There you are!" She exclaims, "It's time for dinner so cmon!" She begins walking away motioning us to follow her. Both me and Jason follow. As we are walking I say "Thanks for not killing me there specs," I joke to Jason. He laughs at the stupid joke I made, and it fills me with joy. Sure maybe I was the only one who felt this way, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy moments like this.
