In The Morning...
LEO'S P.O.V:

Leo woke up and stretched,
"Hmmm..."
He layed there for a moment, staring at the ceiling. Finally, he got up and got dressed.
He had slept in, of course, so breakfast was already over. But he didn't care about that, he was really excited to see Jason.
He quickly ran over to the Zeus Cabin, hopefully Jase- uh- Jason, would be there.
When he got there, he knocked on the door.
"Jase!! Are you there?!"
"Y-yeah, give me a moment!" Jason responded,
Leo got a bad feeling. Jason stuttered. He sounded panicked.
Was he ok?
Mabye Leo is overthinking again.
But..

He stood there for a moment.
He decided, maybe...he could just see what he was doing in there?
*No way! That's invading his privacy!! He's gonna hate you if you do that!*
He thought.
I shouldn't..but...I just wanna make sure he's ok.
That's ok, right?

He opened the door.
"What's taking you so long to answer the door?!" Leo said, but immediately stopped in his tracks.

His legs felt weak.
His eyes felt sore, he felt tears forming.
He stood there.
He body started to shake.

"I-" Jason stumbled on his words,
"Leo I- I um..I- I can explain..I just-" Jason looked down.
Leo's eyes were rested on Jason's scared legs, blood pouring from them.
"Jase..." Leo mumbled, he could barley form words.
He was confused,
What happened?
Why were his legs scarred and bleeding?
Why wasn't he in the infirmary healing them?

"I...Leo.." Jason looked up at him,
Tears were forming in his eyes too.
Leo walked over to him.
"W-what happened? You need to go to the infirmary!" Leo said, he grabbed Jason's upper arms, Jason held onto him too.
"No! I don't..I don't need to go to the infirmary, I can bandage them myself."
"...ok...let me help you?" Leo said.
Jason smiled softly at Leo,
Leo suddenly felt better, like Jason was somewhat okay.
Leo took Jason over to his bed and sat him down, he started cleaning Jason's cuts.
While he was cleaning them and examining them,
He noticed they looked like dagger scars.
Maybe it was an arena accident?
But Leo still didn't understand why he didn't want to go to the infirmary.
When the cuts, or scars, were bandaged and cleaned,
Leo finally brought up the question.
"H-how did you get these scars?" Leo asked.
Jason looked pained all over again.
"I....I don't know..it..it helped..I..." Jason stumbled on his words once more.
"You mean...you did this to yourself?!" Leo shouted, but he didn't mean to shout.
Jason flinched.
"I-I'm sorry.." Leo said.
"I didn't mean to yell."
"But why? Why did you do this to yourself?" Leo asked.
"I... recently my mind has just been.. blanking out, I couldn't think, making scars... cutting myself, gave me something to think about..I had a reason to think. To do something..I guess." He said, still looking down.
"...You shouldn't hurt yourself. It's bad." Leo said.
"I know..."
"I know it might feel like it helps, but it's just causing you more pain. If you can't think of a reason to think, then think about something that makes you happy. You can think about me. You can hang out with me." Leo said, starting to slowly settle down next to Jason, he hugged Jason and buried his face in his shirt.
They were silent for a moment.
"Thanks Leo." Jason said.
"Of course, I'm your boyfriend. That's what boyfriends do."
Jason chuckled,
"Boyfriends cuddle, and do other things than comfort each other." Jason said.
"No way!" Leo nudged him a bit,
"Boyfriends comfort each other."
Jason shrugged,
"Ok, Mr. Boyfriend professional." Jason chuckled.
"Oh, shut up Mr. Won't accept that boyfriends comfort each other." Leo said.
Jason smiled at him,
"Still... cuddle with me?" Jason said.
"Of course I'll cuddle with you, you idiot!" Leo laughed.
Leo and Jason both got in cuddle position, and snuggled with each other.

JASON'S P.O.V:

Jason woke up, Leo was still asleep.
He gently kissed his forehead, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
He slipped out of bed, and went over to the door. When he answered it, it was Piper.
She was standing there wearing a red crop top, blue jeans, and her normal everyday jacket.
"Hey Pipes," Jason said.
"Where's Leo?" She asked.
"Hm? Oh, he's still sleeping."
"Oh, well when he wakes up, tell him that the Stolls stole some of his stuff and we dropped it back off by his workshop for him."
"Alright, thanks Pipes."
"No problem, oh, one more thing, You should come eat. Considering you've missed Breakfast." She said.
"Ok, I'll head over there when Leo wakes up." Jason said.
"You better," she said, pointing two fingers at her eyes and then back at Jason.
He laughed.
"Okk, I'll see you later Pipes."
"Bye," She said, walking off.

Suddenly arms wrapped around Jason's waist.
He smiled,
"Good Morning Leo~" He said.
"It's the afternoon."
"I know, but you just woke up. So good morning, how'd you sleep?"
"I should be asking you that." Leo said.
Jason turned around and brought Leo into a small hug.
"I slept fine. Oh, Pipes wanted me to tell you that the Stolls stole some of your stuff. They dropped it back off at your workshop."
"Oh, ok." Leo said.
"She also said she wants us to go eat." Jason continued.
"I am hungry, let's go." Leo said pulling Jason's arm.
Jason followed him, letting Leo lead him while holding his hand.

Once they made it to the palavin, they grabbed some food.
Jason grabbed a burger,
And Leo got tacos.
They both went over and sat by Piper.
"Glad you two could make it." Piper said, smiling.
"Wouldn't miss it!~" Leo said, winking at her.
Jason smiled and rolled his eyes.
They sat down and chatted for a bit, once their food was finished,
Leo dragged Jason over to his workshop to help him re-organize the stuff The Stolls stole.
Then Jason dragged him over to his cabin again, and they cuddled again.

Jason admits, he feels better now that he has Leo to talk to.
He feels way better.
