Leo ~

Leo quickly scrambled to find the box she had under her bed.

Pulling it out excitedly, the three the boxes top over her shoulder. Which barely missed Nico by an inch.

Leo's slim fingers tumbled over large and small objects that her mother forbid her to have as a child.

Mainly her favorite (and only) pair of black heels, a small makeup set (equipped with blush, eyeshadow, makeup brushes, lipstick, and lipgloss), and about 20 bottles of nail polish (a few bottles of glitter included).

"Here's the color theme!" Leo exclaimed, pulling out the original polish she had used on her first hand, and the same glitter.

Now, practically crawling back to Nico, Leo sat down. Handing over her hands.

Nico gave her a glance, taking the small bottle from where she had set it.

"I'm probably not going to be any good with this. I only did it once, and that was when I was 10, and some girl wanted me to do her nails." Nico warned.

Leo smiled reassuringly.

"I don't care. I trust you." She insisted.

Nico looked surprised, "I thought you didn't like me. Neither had enough like to trust me!" He whispered to himself.

Leo rolled her eyes (playfully).

"You need to stop being so thick. You're the only one I told about. . . All of this." Leo replied.

"Yeah-" Nico debated, "But I found you in a skirt and blouse, just like you are in now. And in makeup." He said.

Leo sighed.

"I could have stayed in that closet and begged you not to tell anyone. But I didn't." Leo finally stated.

Nico sighed, but said nothing as he twisted open the polish bottle.

Then, the tube was quickly dropped to the ground as there was a shout from the hallway.

"Leo? Have you seen Nico?! Hazel hasn't seen him in a while, and she sent me to help search for him!" Piper called, Leo's eyes widened, as did Nico's. "Crap." Nico then cursed, "Quick, you get out of those clothes, unless you're ready to tell Piper, and I'll fix up the nail polish and stuff!" Nico ordered, picking up the bottle he dropped.

Leo gave Nico a nod, and ran back into the closet she had once retreated in earlier.

"I-I'm in here Piper!" Nico shouted, trying to get her to go away.

"You okay?" Piper asked, "Hazel was really worried when you were no where to be seen for over an hour!" She insisted.

Nico securely put the box under Leo's bed. Her body emerging from the closet as soon as Piper set foot into her room.

Piper looked at Nico up and down, nodding. Then, she looked at Leo. Her eyes scanned over him.

"Why is your guys' hair so messy? And Leo, why can't you iron your clothes?" Piper asked, raising her right eyebrow slightly.

Nico shook his head, making his hair even messier.

"We were just hanging out, getting to know each other Piper. It's nothing you need to be concerned about. Especially if we want to defeat Gaea." Nico said.

'Oh snap. He pulled that card.'

Leo thought, nearly grinning at the son of Hades.

A/n:

Hey peeps!! What do you think of the name Lia? It was suggested to me by @AmyMayDaughterofZeus

Anyways, give more names I guess? Like, I love that name, but I kind of want to have a variety to choose from. . . If that's not to much to ask.

Bye!!
