Work Text:
It was peaceful on the Argo II. The weather was calm, plans and preparations for the upcoming war were temporarily postponed, the couples were in harmony, but most importantly- you were in your boyfriend’s arms. You were used to watching him tinker with random things, often creating special gifts for you out of pieces of scrap metal. It was endearing, to say the least. Today was no exception.
You hummed softly as your head swayed from side to side, sitting on Leo’s lap with his arms wrapped around you. Recently, during a small stop in a random state, you and Leo had snuck out to buy a few electronics. With the little money he had saved up during the quest, he had bought the both of you a shitty laptop and matching vintage watches he had found at a nearby thrift store.
As the back of your head rested against his chest, he reached over to grab your shared laptop, opening it up and typing in the password. He smiled as he opened a new tab, nudging you and beckoning you to look at the screen.
“Baby, let’s play, yeah?” Leo said, gently running his fingers through your hair in a comforting manner, placing a soft kiss on the top of your head.
You hummed a soft ‘mhm’ and quickly read what tab he had opened, reading the website name ‘Cool Math Games’. You stifled a small giggle, turning your head slightly to face him.
“You’re such a dork, Valdez. Who the hell plays Cool Math Games before preparing for war ?” You chuckled softly, giving him a teasing smile. Both you and Leo had tried to get your minds off of the upcoming war, the anxiety gnawing away at the both of you as you desperately tried to find anything to use as a distraction.
“Hey! It helps me focus, duh. Plus, it’s funny seeing you struggle.” he teased back, poking your cheek and gently guiding your hands to the keyboard. Your ears turned red at the contact, immediately looking away and trying to hide your faint blush. Every time Leo would touch you so gently like that, it’d send you into spiral. The way his nimble fingers glided across the back of your hand, recalling how he could put those skilled fingers to good use.
“…you’re stupid.” you muttered, clearing your throat and trying to will your blush away before placing delicate fingers over the WASD keys. Leo selected a level without a thought, clicking the first thing he saw before allowing the screen to load. As the two small players appeared on the screen, Leo smiled, pointing at his and yours characters.
“Hey look, it’s us!” he said with a dorky smile, making his character jump and go in and out of the fire water. You smiled back at his enthusiasm and joined in, pressing on the correct key to make your character jump around as well, running back and forth to Leo’s character. “Stand there, I wanna make our characters kiss!” You giggled, biting your lip in concentration as you scooted your character closer to his, making Watergirl overlap with Fireboy.
“So our little characters can kiss but we can’t? Come on, what happened to our good luck tradition?” Leo pouted, grabbing your chin with his thumb and index fingers, forcing you to meet his gaze. His wide brown eyes never failed to make your heart skip a beat, the way he looked at you with such love and affection made your heart swell.
“Fine, but only because you asked so nicely..” you replied, sighing and leaning in for a quick kiss. Leo, being the little shit he is, grabbed the back of your neck and gave you a rough kiss, his eyes shut and his lips crushing against yours. You squeaked in surprise, your eyes widening as you pulled away in shock. “Leo, you’re a dick!” you whined, Leo laughing at you and placing small apologetic kisses all over your face.
“I’m sorry, mami..” He whispered, still letting out small laughs as he looked at your face. “You just looked so cute like that, I couldn’t resist!” he smiled, trying to look as innocent as possible knowing damn well he was planning on giving you much more rougher kisses than that, saving that thought for later.
As you both went on with the levels, they became more difficult. (I mean obviously, that’s kind of how a game works…sorry, i’m tired). You and Leo raged and groaned as you reached new levels, your fingers messily pressing against the keys and often missing the correct ones, causing you both to start all over again.
“Ugh! If you mess up one more time, Leo, i’m gonna kick your ass!” you yelled, sending a warning glare at him as you restarted the level. You both knew all of the arguing was in good fun, but you couldn’t help but want to raise the challenge.
“Fine then, let’s make a bet.” he proposed, retracting his hand from the keyboard and placing it on your thigh. He gave you one of his signature mischievous smiles, knowing that he was plotting something he knew he could win. “If you make the next mistake, you gotta do whatever your totally awesome boyfriend says!” the curly-headed brunette said, smiling triumphantly as if he had already won the bet.
“And if you make the next mistake?” You asked, raising an eyebrow at him as you tilted your head in curiosity, returning the sly smile. “Uhh, well then it goes vice-versa! I’ll do whatever my beautiful girlfriend says.” He replied, eager to start the bet and secure his victory.
“Deal.” you said, shaking his pinky with a smile as an agreement to the bet. The both of you immediately zeroed in your focus on the game, carefully maneuvering your fingers across the keys and trying to survive the obstacles.
As if by a miracle, Leo’s finger had slipped, falling into the pit of green water. “What?! Baby- I swear it was the laptop! The stupid lag!” he groaned, whining and endlessly trying to find excuses for his own mistake. He buried his face into the crook of your neck, huffing and pouting as his hot breath fanned over your soft skin.
“Oh come on, don’t pout now…” you mocked, smiling as you reached up and ruffled his curly hair, silently celebrating your win. “No shame in admitting that you suck, Valdez.” you whispered, snickering to yourself before lifting his head up from your shoulder, turning around and staying seated on his lap.
“Now, as for my reward…” you added quietly, cupping his cheeks and looking up at him with a victorious expression. “Mi amor, don’t make me do anything crazy. You know i’d never do the same to you..” He whined, his pout still prominent as he looked you in the eyes with his classic innocent-puppy dog look.
“Don’t look at me like that, you know it gets me going.” you whispered, internally cringing but maintaining a straight face in order to keep teasing him. “W-What..?” he stuttered, his face turning a cute shade of pink as he looked at you with a bewildered expression, swallowing thickly. You couldn’t help but notice that each time he swallowed, that bold Adam’s apple of his would bob up and down, moving in a fluid motion.
You gently moved the laptop aside and guided him to the headboard of the bed, his back against the wood as you straddled his lap. He shivered as your hands traveled up from his chest to his neck, groaning and leaning his head back when you massaged his neck and placed gentle kisses on it.
“Mi amor, please…” he whispered, pleading as he looked at you with the most desperate eyes ever, his hands trailing upwards to hold onto your hips tightly, keeping you on his lap. You bit your lip and smiled at him with a small chuckle, grazing your teeth against the sensitive parts of his neck before speaking lowly.
“I want you to buy me food once we land, m’kay?” you said innocently, using all that romantic build up to confuse him. Leo raised an eyebrow, his heart still racing from the close proximity as he gave you a confused look. “Then what was all of that for? You can’t just do that, baby..” he whispered shakily, his sighs coming out as small whines instead. You laughed and gently patted his cheek, watching as his eyes trailed down to your lips with an almost hungry look.
“I can do whatever I want, Leo. Perks of being a totally awesome gamer and winning all of my bets.” you replied playfully, giggling as you got up off his lap and brought the laptop back, looking up at him with a smile. “Round two?” You asked, giving him a second chance at possible victory. He sighed in defeat, nodding his head before turning you around so your back was against his chest, his touch lingering under your shirt and thighs.
“I’ll win this time, I promise.” he whispered, worked up from your previous ministrations as he placed gentle kisses all over your neck, brushing your hair aside to give him more room. His usual cheery and energetic personality was completely gone now, replaced with this sultry and needy version of him.
He placed his chin on your shoulder for support, looking at the screen and trying his best to concentrate. So far, you were getting through the obstacles without a single misstep, cursing under your breath and mumbling instructions for him to help you.
In a moment of pure desperation, Leo gently swatted your hand, making your character walk backwards and into a pit of green water. You gasped and looked back at him with pure shock, your hands frozen in the air as the screen confirmed your loss.
“Leo, what the hell? That’s so cheating!” You exclaimed, looking at him with an irritated expression and a small pout. “That totally doesn’t count!” you argued, Leo looking at you with a sly smile.
“You made the first mistake, so you lose..” he said softly, his mood entirely shifted from your earlier behavior towards him. He buried his face into your neck and gently nibbled on your soft skin, his hands wandering all over your body and teasing under your shirt.
“That was so not fair…!” you whispered, your voice becoming quieter and more shallow with each soft kiss that was placed on your neck. “It’s my turn for the reward, and you owe me big time..” he muttered, shutting the laptop and pushing it aside, turning your body to face him and pushing you down against the pillows.
You whimpered underneath his touch, his long fingers tracing down from your jaw to the middle of your chest. He started with his gentle kisses, caressing your cheek as you wrapped your arms around his neck. “Mmh..Leo..” you panted, feeling the temperature rise and the kisses becoming more heated.
“Shh, you lost the bet. Now you gotta suffer the consequences…” He whispered against your lips, removing his hand from your cheek and placing it under you, holding onto your arched back with his other hand holding himself up.
The kiss deepened and became more frenzied, heavy breaths and soft panting filling the room as teeth and tongue clashed together, your bodies moving against one another. His free hand wandered over your entire body, caressing your chest and squeezing your hip each time he tried to catch his breath.
You moaned into his sloppy kisses and tugged at his hair, eliciting a low groan from him as he growled and fueled his desperation. “Gods, you taste so fucking good.” he murmured, his tongue delving into your mouth and mapping out each and every corner, moaning at the taste.
You whined and squeezed your body closer to his, as if needing his touch to survive. His hand trailed under your shirt and began to pull it up, his mouth moving from your lips to your neck, pressing hot open-mouthed kisses all over the sensitive skin.
He began to bite down and roughly suck on your neck, leaving dark purple bruises that would last for days. You moaned in response and held onto his curly locks for dear life, pushing his head closer to your neck as if pleading for more.
Your shirt was halfway off and his hand was moving to unclip your bra when you heard the familiar knock of your older brother, the messy rhythm of his knuckles against the wood giving his identity away. You had no time to react before he swung open the door, your brother’s sea green eyes immediately locking on you both.
“Hey guys, Annabeth sent me to- What the hell?!” Percy yelled, his eyebrows furrowing in shock and disbelief. He made a disgusted noise and looked away, a faint blush dusting his face. “Leo, get the fuck off of my sister!” he groaned, looking back and forth between you and Leo.
Leo had been in the middle of unclasping your bra, Percy barging in as soon as your bra come undone. Leo smirked as he looked down at your chest, placing a gentle kiss on the valley between your breasts before turning to face Percy.
“Relax, bro. We were just kissing.” He said, a sly smile forming on his face as he placed a quick kiss on your cheek. Percy gave him a small glare, crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe. “That was way more then kissing, Valdez. Now get your dirty hands off my sister!” he replied with a huff, massaging his forehead and desperately trying to rid the disturbing sight out of his mind.
You smiled sheepishly and gently pushed Leo’s chest, forcing him off of you as you tried to fix up your hair. “Jeez, you ever heard of knocking?” you said with an annoyed expression on your face, giving Percy a small glare.
“I did knock! You were just too busy getting your face eaten off by that gremlin over there.” your older brother argued, pointing a finger at Leo, whose smile was becoming concerningly wide.
“Can’t a guy enjoy some alone time with his girlfriend? You never hear us complaining about you and Annabeth, and you both keep us up at night.” Leo said with a smirk, referring to how active they both tended to be.
Percy’s face flushed before clearing his throat, shaking his head and keeping his arms crossed. “That’s not the point. Just- keep your hands off my sister.” He sighed, his eyes slowly widening as he finally caught a glimpse of the hickeys that covered your neck. “Gods, Leo, don’t you have any self control?” Percy said with a disgusted tone, giving Leo a disapproving glare.
“Not when it comes to your sister, no.” He smiled, turning to you and giving you a quick kiss, helping you clasp your bra back together. “Thank you, baby.” you whispered against his lips, the both of you having no shame when it came to PDA. Leo leaned back in with hazy eyes, wanting to devour you before he heard the sound of Percy clearing his throat.
“I’m still here, you freaks. Now get changed, Annabeth’s holding a meeting in the mess hall.” Percy said before finally exiting the room, muttering under his breath as he walked into the hallway. You and Leo both looked at each other, smiling like dorks with the most loving gazes.
You both broke into soft giggles, Leo pinning you back down onto the mattress and smothering your neck in small kisses. “Percy has no chill. Why can’t he let us have fun in peace?” Leo whined, huffing into the crook of your neck as he laid completely on you.
“He’s just overprotective, with me being younger and all…” you muttered, kissing the top of his brown curls. “Plus, he doesn’t trust you, since you’re a little perv.” you smiled, cupping his cheeks and lifting his head to meet his gaze.
“Oh come on, you’re in good hands! Nothing to be so paranoid about…” Leo pouted, looking into your eyes with a sarcastic glint in his own. He moved his body more forward, kissing all over your face and biting your cheek playfully. “See? I’m just full of pure love for you, nothing dirty!” he smiled, knowing dam well he would’ve ravished you had Percy not interrupted you both.
“Whatever helps you sleep at night, babe..” you mumbled, sighing as you sat up and ruffled your hair. “Come on, we gotta get ready. We can continue this later, m’kay?” you said softly, giving Leo a promising kiss before pulling away and getting up off the bed.
“Fine, but you owe me.” Leo said reluctantly, pouting as he glanced at the forgotten laptop and shut it carefully, storing it away for another day. Maybe next time he’d higher the stakes. You know what they say: 99% of gamblers quit before hitting it big. And Leo was ready to risk it all.
