Al coming back from his travels: Xing was great! I've learned so much about alkahestry, and I think we're really making progress and getting Jerso and Zampano's bodies back! It was really nice to see Mei, and Ling is doing a great job as emperor, and I even got to visit some of Xing's neighbors to the east! I feel like I'm learning more about alchemy and alkahestry every day

hiya ! if you're taking requests i was wondering if you could do leo meeting a child of zeus reader with him developing a crush and ultimately asking them out?
thankyou sm :)
thank you for being patient, i can absolutely do this for you
------------------------------------
since your older sister thalia joined the hunters of artemis you were pretty much alone in the zeus cabin at camp halfblood
you were fine with that, you had friends in other cabins and did your best to not seem intimidating just because you were a child of the big three
when jason, piper and leo came to the camp you were so excited to have another sibling
he introduced you to his friends and it didn't escape your notice that piper was clearly smitten with your new brother
it also didn't escape your notice that the son of hephaestus was incredibly cute or that he kept staring at you and pretending very hard that he wasn't
it was tragic that they were sent on a quest so quickly and you couldn't get to know him better
you were back to being by yourself, once again losing a sibling and alone in the cold cabin that was mostly there as a formality
when they returned with news of where percy was and something that was almost half a plan to save the world you assumed you wouldn't be able to get involved, not being a big part of the prophecy
so when jason asked for your help you were thrilled
he needed someone who had more experience being a child of zeus to guide him and provide a certain perspective on things
it was when you were teaching jason how to fly properly and manipulate the wind that leo decided to get involved
'yo, superman, can i steal them from you for a bit?'
the pair of you swooped down to land in front of him
you hopped over
'sure, what's up?'
leo explained he needed help with some mechanical shit regarding flight
making a ship fly was a task and a half and he could use some help from someone that knew the sky
you agreed without hesitation
spending more time with this kid was something you were very interested in
over the next few weeks leo would consistently seek you out and ask for your help in bunker 9, until it was blatantly obvious he was making up excuses for you to come spend time with him
you were sat in bunker 9 at one of the worktables, glancing over blueprints that made little to no sense to you
'hey, leo?'
'yeah?'
'you're a genius, right?'
he slid out from under a piece of machinery, a grin on his face
'it has been said, yes. why?'
'why do you need me here, then?'
he huffed out a breath and went bright red
you paused, waiting for him to say something
'...i mean, sure i know about flying but nothing else regarding... this'
you gestured at festus, who's eyes glowed at you
leo swallowed and fiddled with a spanner
'uh, is it too weird if i say i like spending time with you? but didn't want to just... say that?'
it was your turn to go red
you'd developed quite the crush on leo, laughing at his stupid jokes but being amazing by his intelligence
'if you're fucking with me, valdez, i swear to the gods i will call lightning on this bunker right now'
he put his hands up in surrender
'hey now, don't destroy my life's work because you can't deal with the fact that i like you'
'you like me?'
leo rolled his eyes and scooted on over sitting on the skateboard he was using to see under the boat until he was right in front of you
'yeah, i like you, why do you think i keep you around?' he grinned and poked at your knee
'oh shut up' you pushed at his skateboard seat until he was back to the boat
'finish your work then ask me out, okay?'
'it's a deal, gorgeous'
-------------------------------------
i love this man anyway i hope you enjoyed and thank you for requesting!
