Chapter Text
The first time she saw Jason Leo she'd been in school about a week. It was hell and she hated everyone there and they hated her. She noticed Leo sat alone at lunch most days. So did she. So they sat alone together.
Leo was a foster kid. Ran away from his foster parents a few too many times and the court thrown him in here. Piper didn't want to mention her dad. It's not thar she didn't trust him. It just felt weird. She told him that she aledgidly stole a car. Which was true. She just didn't mention her father.
Piper had never had the same interest with boys that her friends had. But Leo was different to the boys she grew up with. Unapologetic. Funny. Somehow even more ADHD than her.
And okay, he was kinda cute. Kinda.
They started running together whenever they were forced to go on a run. (Every morning.) They did projects together and tried desperately to help each other with homework. They defended each other against bullies and gods were they bullied.
Leo annoyed the shit out of her sometimes but she had to admit she couldn't stay mad.
Even when he put shaving cream in her jello.
They'd known each other a couple months when Piper managed to convince him to sneak out and watch a meter shower with her. For someone who loved breaking the rules so much it was surprisingly hard to convince him.
She'd set out a pinick blanket, some snacks and a telescope on the roof. When Leo climbed up she was already set up and sitting there with a stupid grin on her face.
"Snacks? I love you so much Pipes." Leo said jokingly.
"C'mon. Your gonna miss it."
It was a cold night so they had a good excuse to sit really close. Somehow they end up dancing. They're laughing they're heads off, caught up in the moment and she just thinks fuck it. She pulls him in a kisses him.
He melts into it. His hands go to the back of her head, entangling in her hair. Her arms are around his neck. His lips are so warm. Almost unnaturally. Not that she's complaining.
She pulls away and he grins.
"You don't understand how long I've been waiting for you to do that."
She slaps his arm gently. "Why didn't you make a move, dumbass!"
"I didn't wanna come across as a creep!"
"You coulda-"
He pulls her in this time. It effectively shuts her up.

Leo hadn't opened up to anyone in years before Piper. He wasn't usually great with girls but Piper made it so easy. She talked to him. She listened. She listened to shit that anyone else would call him crazy for. And fuck he liked her. But he didn't want to ruin their friendship and he was usually horrible at taking hints and-
There were a million and one reason he didn't want to say anything. Couldn't.
Then there was the night on the roof. He remembered how beautiful she looked that night. He remembered how she leaned up against him. How he didn't want the shower because he was to busy taking her him. And for a second he was itching to tell her. But no. Nope.
And them she managed to get him dancing and she pulled him in. . .
It was his first kiss. It was perfect, honestly. Everything about it.
He suddenly didn't care if they got caught. It was all a million percent worth it.

Piper she her bedroom door behind her and turned to see a woman sitting on her bed.
She was ethereal. Dark brown hair, in robes decorated with peacock feathers.
"Hello Piper."
"Do I- do I know you?"
"You will." And then the woman reached out, her index finger barely touching Piper's forehead and she blacked out.

There was a woman in Leo's room.
"¿Tía Callida?"
"Hello, son of Hephaestus."
Then she touched his forehead and he passed out.

Leo woke up on the school bus.
