Injured

(Reader POV)

The next day after lunch, Leo and I were watching the helm when some sort of grappling hooks grabbed onto the port side. "Be right back," I said, turning around and running downstairs. I came back with Percy, Annabeth, Hazel, Frank, and Nico on my heels. As soon as I got above deck, I started looking around for Leo. I spotted him, fighting off at least three monsters at once. I ran up to him, unclipping Palírroias. I slashed through two of the monsters, not even stopping to let them disintegrate into dust, I kept walking. I hugged Leo briefly before turning around and slashing some more of the monsters. I turned around again, having sensed another monster, but it was too late. I felt a burning sensation as the monster cut me with a blade. I dropped Palírroias, clutching my right side with my left hand. I fell to the ground, crying out with pain. Leo called out my name, and I saw him rushing towards me. Everybody else held off the monsters as Leo picked me up, carrying me to our quarters. He set me down on the bed, grabbing my hand briefly before running to the med room to get some ambrosia. He came back a couple minutes later, a piece of ambrosia in his hand. I took the piece, breaking a small bit off to eat. I ate the piece, waiting for the ambrosia to take effect. Leo looked at the cut. "The ambrosia isn't working," he said, concern in his voice. "Uh-oh," I murmured. He looked at me. "What?" "If the monsters were working for Gaea, their blades may be cursed to the point where ambrosia won't work," I explained. He cursed in Spanish. "You're right," he muttered, grabbing my hand again. I looked at him. "You could at least bandage it," I said. "Oh, right." He grabbed some gauze and some duct tape out of his toolbelt. He pulled up the hems on my shirt and tank top a little before wrapping the gauze around my midsection. He secured it with the tape, pulling the hems back down. He looked at me again. "Stop looking at me like that. I'm not going to die," I said, glaring at him for a moment. "No, I know you aren't, but you...you're hurt, and I can't help you." "You are helping. You're being supportive. I mean, there's not much more I can ask of you," I whispered, causing him to smile.

(Leo's POV)

After she said that, I smiled, causing her to smile in return. I gave her a quick kiss before helping her sit up. I sat next to her, starting another episode of Stargate Atlantis. I wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close, but also making her gasp in pain. I quickly pulled my hand away, apologizing. She looked at me. "At least you could be careful of my side," she said, smiling through the pain. "I said I was sorry," I said. "I know. I'm teasing you," she said, poking my side. I smiled. "That's my girl." She grabbed the remote out of my hand, getting up to change the disc. "What are you doing?" I asked, jumping up and putting a hand on her hip. "I'm putting Frozen in. I figured you might as well watch it if you want to have any clue what I'm talking about," she said, taking the Atlantis disc out of the DVD player. I passed her the disc for Frozen before sitting back down. She sat down next to me, kissing me on the cheek before starting the movie. Right away, I knew it would be awkward. The one guy who was engaged to Anna didn't get her, and Kristoff, the guy who thought he wouldn't get Anna got her. That's kinda how it worked out with (Y/N) and I, except she hadn't been engaged to someone else. Elsa was my favorite character, even though she had powers similar to Khione's, but she was afraid of her ice as I am afraid of my fire. Khione uses her power for kicking demigods off of their ships. Elsa, however, used her powers for good, building her own castle and making a skating "rink". After Frozen, I grabbed a couple plates, having heard the dinner bell ring during the movie. When I got back to the room, (Y/N) was asleep on her side. I sat next to her, placing my plate on my lap. I gently shook her arm, waking her up. She grabbed her plate from me, immediately starting to eat.
