Open smut post

[notaccurate]

OKAY.

SO.

This is a smut post. Just tag in here and tell me which of my characters you want for smut, and it will happen. Any version is ok: OU, AU, game versions of characters, whatever. Just two (or more) people boning, that's what this post is about.

Also I was going to post this with Luca's journal to use his butt icon but then I realized his paid was expired, so no butt icons for you. Sorry.

Suit yourself.

[He shrugs.]

But if you ever want to tell me, I'm here.

[Nanaki is all too happy to leave it at that, and she leaves Leo sitting there without another word. In fact, she doesn't talk to him for several days after that, choosing instead to avoid the Hephaestus cabin in general and focus on other things.

But as much as she tries to avoid it, what Leo said to her keeps sticking in her mind, and she finds herself more and more interested in the boy.

Okay, maybe 'interested' isn't the best word for that. She's definitely curious about him, but not so much that she approaches him about it. Not right away, at least. She watches from afar, seeing how he interacts with others, and it picks at her curiosity even more.

Eventually her curiosity gets the better of her, and she finally gives in. About a week after the previous incident, Nanaki finally approaches him, though she tries to do it without drawing too much attention to herself. She doesn't want anyone else in camp listening in on their conversation.

She chooses to approach him after dinner, when everyone is done eating and going back to their own things but before Leo gets too far away.]

Got a moment?

[fundemetal]

[Leo hasn't been oblivious to the way Nanaki's gaze kept falling on him over the last week. He'd catch a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye here and there, but he'd always bide his time waiting for her to approach. He was worried if he looked directly at her whenever he caught her staring that she'd run away. But she seemed to do that anyway because a moment or two later he'd look up and she'd be gone.

So when she calls out to him a week later after dinner, he's a little surprised. He smiles as he greets her.]

Yeah, if you don't mind walking down to Bunker 9 with me.

[findsrisks]

[She is a cautious one, that's all. She's been chased out of towns for her powers, she doesn't want to get chased out of camp too.]

Alright, let's walk.

[She waits until they're walking to speak again.]

You're different from the other campers.

[fundemetal]

[He raises an eyebrow at the comment.]

What do you mean? Because of my fire thing?

[findsrisks]

That too, but I meant in how you act. You're not...

[Give her a moment she needs to think of the right word for it.]

...judgmental? You listen to people.

[fundemetal]

Well... I get judged a lot, so I try not to do it to others...

[He doesn't add that he judges himself more than anyone else probably did/does/]

[findsrisks]

Which is why you're different. You don't make hasty judgments, so you are more willing to listen and find the truth.

[Which is how she's justifying this to herself. Long she promised to herself that she would never tell anyone about her visions, which was eventually amended to 'never tell anyone except for other people with future-sight about her visions'. But Leo doesn't have future-sight, and she's still not completely sure that he will even listen to her. Leo may be the type to look beyond the surface of a situation, but she doesn't know how he will react to hearing about impending death.

So she looks out towards the forests surrounding camp, takes a deep breath, and speaks again.]

Two days from now, during a game of capture the flag, a camper from Hephaestus cabin will slip and fall off of a rocky outcropping. He will fall into a narrow gap between two large boulders, and he will die of his injuries long before he is found.

[She has an oddly neutral voice as she says all of this, like she is stating normal facts rather than giving a prediction of someone's death.]

[fundemetal]

[He listens to what Nanaki says. It's not at all what he expected to hear. And to be honest, it's scary. Not that she's scary, he's got no problem at all with her ability. But the idea that he or one of his cabinmates could wind up dead later this week was scary. He didn't say anything for awhile as he went through all the ways that this sort of thing could be prevented. The easiest way would be to keep his cabin from participating in the capture the flag game this week. But that would require a lot of explanation that he wasn't sure would get through to them or to the other campers.

Eventually he speaks.]

Is that why you threw the drill into the lake? It was going to hurt someone?

[If that's true, then maybe she has a suggestion for how to keep this new prediction from coming true.]

[findsrisks]

[Nanaki nods in response.]

Your cabinmates use power tools every day. I've never touched one in my entire life. Do you think they would have listened to me if I had said 'Don't use that drill, the casing is cracked and the drill bit is going to go right through someone's skull'?

[Which is the crux of Nanaki's troubles regarding her predictions: nobody believes her. She can't even warn people, because they usually won't listen to her. All of those weird things she does in camp are efforts to prevent accidents from happening without anyone realizing what's going on.]

[fundemetal]

They probably wouldn't have, but I would have. Even without knowing this about you. If I'd been lucky enough to be the one to pick it up next, I would have been able to repair it.

[He would have noticed something like that being off and stopped to examine it instead of blindly using it.]

[findsrisks]

Which is why you're different.

[Leo may have been that aware of a drill, but most people would have just picked it up and used it.]

And that is why I need your help. After what I did before, nobody from your cabin is going to listen to me if I try to misdirect them during the game.

[fundemetal]

[They're almost at the bunker, which looks like nothing but a cliff.]

You got any ideas for how?

[When they get to the face, Leo presses his hand to the face of the cliff using his fire to unlock the bunker. He walks inside and motions for her to follow.]

Come on in.

[findsrisks]

[Well, that sure is a thing. She's distracted from answering for a moment as she looks at the opening in wonder. Once she's inside, though, she remembers that she was talking to Leo and answers him.]

Oh! I was thinking to wait by that cliff and stop the guy before he falls, but since it's capture the flag he might run away if it's someone he doesn't trust.

[fundemetal]

[Leo nods.]

You'll have to show me later which one and I'll stand guard. Or get someone else to.

[findsrisks]

Okay, I will.

[She's kind of staring at everything in the bunker now.]

What is this place anyway?

[fundemetal]

It's an old secret workshop. I discovered it last year. No one at camp knew about it until after I found it, but it's been here for centuries.

[He flicks on all the lights and leads the way toward the back of the bunker to the desk where he keeps all the plans and things. And begins looking through the drawers for the thing he needs, which now can't even remember what it was, but he's sure he'll know it when he sees it.]

[findsrisks]

It's pretty cool.

[She'll just walk along one of the walls and look at all the stuff there. She'll be good and not touch anything, too.]

So you do secret projects here?

[fundemetal]

I don't know that they're all that secret. I mean, there's plenty of people in camp who know generally what we're doing down here.

[He riffles through a stack of papers in one of the drawers before finding the one he wants. He then folds it up and shoves it into his tool belt.]

Anyway, if you want I can show you around.

[findsrisks]

[She really does want a tour, but there's other concerns for now.]

Later. We should come up with a plan for now.

[fundemetal]

[He sits down on the edge of the desk.]

Yeah. Got any ideas?
