Wow so history really does just run on a 100-year cycle huh. We humans are doomed to make the same mistakes for the rest of time

[ofswordsandpens]

thinking about a world in which RR actually committed to the path he set Percy on in hoo (wherein Percy has become jaded, angry, and resentful at the gods for breaking their sworn promises, is frequently sympathizing with Luke, is getting more and more powerful, and frequently losing himself to wrath) and instead of the subsequent Percy Jackson books being about getting recommendation letters, we could have gotten a trilogy exploring a fallen hero arc for Percy (that would ultimately have a positive resolution to it.)

Stop making me hurt

Dear @doctorawesome1983-blog couldn't wait for another Leo fic of mine! Well it's just your luck I had just finished one! I was waiting for the perfect moment but I think you just gave me it

⚠️WARNING: AGED UP TURTLE⚠️

Summary: Leo has a secret to tell. The question is, will he be able to tell it?

Bayverse!Leonardo x F!Reader

Best Friends Forever

When Leo first met you he was skeptical. He had a family to protect. He didn't like the idea of another human knowing their existence, it was getting pretty crowded. Though, when he saw you had gotten in the middle of the crossfire with April and Casey he had no choice but to reveal that secret to save you. You didn't freak out like Casey or faint like April but you did go quiet and stare with the widest eyes he's ever seen. Donnie called it "going into shock."

Since the meeting, Leo would go to check up on you, make sure you hadn't said a word. He never interacted with you, simply just glanced into your window or followed the locator they had placed on your phone. It had become part of his patrol.

When April started to bring you down to the lair Leo had been in a sour mood every time. He didn't trust you to be down there with them, much less see them again. But seeing your eyes filled with wonder and curiosity changed his heart. It was as if a small fire had ignited and slowly spread to the corners of his heart. He started to look forward to the time you'd come down next. He started talking to you more and opening up. He always felt extremely happy around you. He felt his stomach tie into happily painful knots, felt the butterflies fly to and fro, felt his body get warm, and thought of nothing but of you. What you would laugh at and what you would cry at. What you'd love to learn and what you'd rather not know about. It didn't take long (mostly several romance movies he watched with you later) for him to realize he had fallen in love with you.

He had known you for two years when he realized his feelings blossomed. He'd try to tell you but something always got in the way. You were both interrupted by an outside force, or you didn't have time to sit down, or he had an emergency mission to run off to, or it just wasn't the right moment. All this took three more years. Until a fateful day.

"Hey I have something I need to tell you." Your voice said through the phone. Leo could feel his palms start to sweat and his nerves start to twist. Did you figure him out?

"Uh, yeah sure I have time. What's up?"

"It's better if I say it to you in person I'm coming down."

"Oh okay s-" you hung up before he could finish. "-ee you later…"

He felt nervous, he didn't know what you wanted to talk about. Was it about him? Were you in trouble? Were you going to stop seeing them? He could live with not dating you but never seeing his best friend again? It was almost too much to bear. He was pacing now, his preparation for his meditation session long forgotten as his mind raced with thoughts of you.

He finally heard your footsteps and your voice as you greeted his brothers. His heart tightened. He felt like he was about to throw up. But when you knocked he placed a fake smile on his face and greeted you when he opened the door.

"Hi, Leo!" You said happily, rushing past him.

"Hey, you." He said back, slightly relieved you were happy. He closed his door as he looked at you. You were so beautiful with the brightest smile he's ever seen you wear. You were buzzing with excitement he could tell, you were never able to sit still when you were. He watched as your eyes crinkled with your smile, sparkling as if they were stars themselves. He could get lost in them and he wouldn't mind one bit.

Which is why what you said shook his very core.

"You have a what?!" Leo shouted in surprise, making you jump a bit. You let out a small chuckle.

"I have a date!" You smiled up at his shocked face. "He asked me out today and we're meeting tonight to go watch a movie."

Leo's heart fell to millions of pieces. His best friend was telling him she was going out with someone. He blinked. Then he blinked again. He blinked a third time and his reality had not changed. You were being taken from him and he never even had a chance to confess to you. And he never will, his chance is gone.

"Leo?" Your voice brought him back to the present and he quickly shot a smile at your concerned face.

"That's awesome! I'm so happy for you!" His smile felt strained and forced but the way you relaxed reassured him you didn't notice.

But you should've.

"I'm happy too! I can't wait! I rushed down here as fast as I could so I could tell you! Now I have to hurry to my apartment so I can change." You giggled, already turning on your heel. Leo stopped you, his hand on your shoulder gentle but firm.

"Wait, which theater are you guys going to? I'll tail you and keep you safe if anything happens." You shook your head.

"No need, I have a really good feeling about this guy! We've hung out before but this is our first date." Leo was shocked. He never even heard of this guy.

"You've hung out already?"

"We have and he's such an amazing guy! We share all the same interests and think exactly the same it's crazy!" Leo couldn't stop the frown that made its way onto his face. He also shared the same interests with you and thought the same. What difference does this guy make?

"Oh my gosh there was this one time…" you continued, unaware of the emotion plaguing Leo's face. He listened to you tell your story, watching you blush whenever you mentioned him doing a specific action, watching you laugh over a joke he had made, watching as you glowed so brightly just thinking about him. Leo watched as your eyes sparkled and shined with love. Love he craved was his.

"That's amazing. I hope you guys have fun." You smiled at Leo and pulled him into a hug.

"Thanks, Leo! I'm so, so, excited!" Then you ran off. Leo waited until your footsteps faded before he locked his door. He sat on his bed heavily, processing what just happened. It wasn't long until his entire facade fell.

His shoulders fell and hot, thick tears fell from his eyes and slid down fast past his cheeks and dripped from his chin. His shoulders shook as he struggled to keep his sobs quiet. He thought this whole time he'd have you all to himself forever but now you were gone. He couldn't have the chance to call you his. He couldn't have the chance to make you swoon. He couldn't have the chance to make you smile only for him to see. You were gone. He cried harder than he's ever cried his entire life. Every time he tried to dry his tears he'd just start crying again. His eyes were growing sore and he was getting very dehydrated. But he didn't dare move. He didn't dare let his brothers see him like this. For five hours straight he did nothing but cry his eyes out. He felt his heart slowly rot and leave a gaping hole in his chest.

Right when his tears started to stop he heard your footsteps again. He rushed to wipe away the evidence of him crying. He wiped at his nose right when you knocked. He threw away the tissues and waited a moment before getting up and walking over. He unlocked his door and opened it a crack.

There you were, cheeks red and smiling widely. He felt emptier. He opened the door wider, letting you walk in. His eyes never looked at you.

"Hey, you're back!" He faked his happiness, forcing a smile once again. You only smiled back.

"I am!"

"How was it?" He didn't care, he didn't want to know.

"Oh it was amazing!" You told him about the whole date. Leo listened attentively. What you did next made him want to throw up.

"And then halfway through the movie he put his hand like this." You reached out and placed your hand on Leo's thigh. His breath hitched slightly, not enough for you to notice.

"And then like this." You gently squeezed his thigh, massaging it gently. He gripped his sheets under him, willing himself to not cry. He watched you blush and swoon as you remembered and continue showing Leo what that guy had done to you. He felt tortured, he felt like you were stabbing him, he felt as if you truly were heartless.

"He's just so perfect, Leo. I feel like we're going to last a long time." You said with a dreamy look on your face. This sent a deep gash into him.

"Cool, now I need to get ready for patrol." He said a bit rudely. You looked up at him, surprise etched into your features.

"Oh, um, right." You got up off his bed. "Sorry I didn't mean to hold you back, I'll tell you everything else tomorrow."

Leo met your smile with his own. Pain clear in his eyes, something you somehow missed entirely.

"Great! I can't wait!" He said, voice tight. You nodded and walked to the door. You opened the door and walked out, closing the door after yourself. Leo let the waterworks go as soon as you closed the door, not even waiting for you to walk away, keeping his sobs as silent as possible.

I hope you enjoyed the new Leo fic! Made one just like you asked! What's that? You didn't want this type of Leo fic? Well gee! Maybe you should've been more specific, huh? 😈😈😈
