Leo
“Nico! Hey! Wait for me!” Leo ran after Nico; he saw him walking out of the school on his way home (at least that's where he assumed he was going) after leaving Thalia's apartment. Nico turned around, looking at Leo strangely.
Leo didn't know him at all, but Jason does, so maybe he can help at least a little. “Do I know you?” Leo shook his head. “No, but you know Jason.” “Yeah, what about him?” Nico looked around like he was looking for Jason.
“Did he and Piper actually break up?” Nico nodded for a second but then shook his head. “I think so, I'm not sure. He doesn't talk about Piper much. Why?” Leo looked down. “No reason.”
“Oh goodness, are you serious!” Nico let out a long, loud sigh. “Do you seriously like Jason?! I told him-” Leo cut him off. “He asked about me?” Nico looked away, a guilty expression on his face. “No…” Leo snickered.
“Wow. That was the worst lie I've ever heard.” “Whatever! He does talk about you a lot, but he never asked about you. So there, I didn't technically lie.” Leo chuckled, then made a serious face. “Wait, he talks about me?” Nico nodded.
“God, you're both insufferable. Yes, he talks about you. He's also delusional, might I add.” Nico crossed his arms, looking annoyed but in a nice way, if that makes sense. “Delusional? What do you mean by that?” Nico started walking away again. “Never mind.” “Wait! Don't go!”
Leo followed him. “You can't just leave me hanging like that! Tell me!” Nico sped up, clearly trying to magically make him go away. “Go away, Leo.” “No! Tell me! Please?” “Maybe another time.”
