STONE HORSE || OPEN

[Deleted]

The stables was an interesting place for Leo, it was occupied by a bunch of Pegasi which were beautiful but strange creatures. He thought it was weird seeing horses with wings but it was enchanting to him. As much as he hated the camp, the pegasi were one of the things he’d avoid hurting if he ever got the chance to burn the camp. Even if the wings of the horse did slightly remind him of the harpies that decided to take his mother from him, but the wings were different. The wings of a pegasi were more…elegant rather than the ruffled-looking feathers of a harpy.

After the smell of hay mixed in with poo got a bit too much for him, Leo decided to exit the stables, sitting by the side of them. He had found a small boulder that was eligible for him to sit on and it may not have been comfortable but he had sat on a lot worse. This boulder beat his own vomit any day of the week. The stables today were quite quiet for some reason today, he figured most people were training or in the mess hall but the stables was nice quiet. It was almost peaceful. He let out a content sigh, for the first time in months, and looked over towards a couple demigods walking past, wondering if any of them were going to break off towards him and the stables.

Melanie knew she should've been paying more attention to her pegasus over the past few months. She hadn't been neglecting the mustang, visiting frequently to feed him. She hadn't had the energy to take him out flying however, but had recently been feeling guilt over it. It's not like the girl no longer cared for her pegasus, she loved him dearly, but it can be hard to take care of others when you struggle to take care of yourself.

The weather was a bit chilly for her taste, the pale girl walking briskly towards the stable. It was oddly empty, though she could feel the warmth of the stables long before she arrived. Perhaps it was her godly powers or something, as she always seemed to bend to the heat as a flower did the sun. There was a boy already sitting near the stable. Her blue eyes briefly met his but were quickly averted. She wrapped her arms around herself to brace against the cold, pale cheeks tinged pink from the cold air.

The girl let out a small sigh of relief as she entered the stables, letting the warm air of life envelope her. A soft smile blessed her innocent face as she met her lovely pegasus, his wings fluttering in excitement as she fed him. She reined the stallion, not bothering to saddle him, and led him out of the stables, the magnificent beast towering above her as she was rather short. They clashed in comparison, his almost blood red coat striking against her silvery hair.

The wind blew against her and she mused that it must've been a bit angry as her light pink dress billowed around her. It was a bit shorter than she'd usually wear, but it was the only thicker dress she owned and had been hoping the warm fabric would protect her from the cold. Besides, she wasn't planning on staying out for too long. She just wanted to let Cherry stretch his wings. She squeaked a bit as the wind picked up once again, raising the skirt of her dress and exposing her undergarments. Her small hands dropped the rein to flatten down her dress, holding it in place.

Cherry Blossom took this as a signal to run, whinnying excitedly before taking off. "Cherry!" she shouted after him in exasperation as he took off, brilliant auburn feathers shining in the sun as he spread her wings. She groaned while watching him fly swiftly through the clouds, still holding her dress to her legs. She didn't worry too much about losing him as she knew the pegasus would return before nightfall, but she was still a bit irritated. She supposed that's what she got for having a mustang with such a wild spirit. The girl glanced over to see the tattooed boy watching her and smiled apologetically, hoping she hadn't disturbed the boy's peace.

Leo had noticed the fair-haired girl coming over into the stables; finally there was someone else here other than himself. She had sent him a smile to which he gave a simple nod of acknowledgement as a reply before watching her walk past and enter into the stables. After a few moments of ruffling around the girl then came back out with a Pegasus which looked quite a bit too big for her, the size difference making Leo laugh to himself slightly. The pair looked so disproportionate it was almost like giving a gnome a cleaver but needless to say at least she tried.

Deciding to continue watching the girl, Leo leant forward with his knees resting on his knees, getting a better look at the girl and the Pegasus. Only to be rewarded with a flash of her underwear, this caused an eyebrow to rise slightly. It was a nice sight for him and when the girl brought her hands down to her dress Leo watched the Pegasus take off in flight. Looks like the size difference was affecting the control she had over him.

When the girl looked over at Leo he was already watching her still, he shot a wink followed by a small smirk appearing in the corner of his lip. His eyes seemed to narrow as if he was focusing more on her almost like he was tempting to her to make the first move. He wasn’t going to say anything until she was closer to him. It was almost as if he was watching his prey and waiting for the perfect time to make a move, which he decided he wanted her to make. Many possible flirtatious lines set their selves up in his mind automatically and without going into too much thought, he had already thought of all he needed.

A shiver ran down her spine, but this time it wasn't from the cold. A small smirk lay upon the boy's face, bringing heat to her own. She tried to show no response to his wink as she wrapped her arms over her chest, some subconscious form of protection. Something about the stranger put her on edge, though she wasn't sure of what exactly. Her knife felt heavy at her side, seeming to sense her heightened anxiety. Of course inanimate objects can't read emotions, but it was magical after all.

"Hi," she said with confidence, shaking off any fear. "I'm sorry about all of that. He's a wild spirit. Do you mind if I take a seat?" she asked with a smile. Even if the boy intimated her slightly she would still try and befriend him. She was never one to run away from social interactions, seeking them out if anything. Perhaps she would scold him for his winking as she didn't quite appreciate being hit on. She wasn't entirely comfortable with complete strangers flirting with her, even if she did accidentally flash them.

Leo grinned to the floor as the girl begun making her way over, he didn’t need to make the first move it seemed. Made sense for her to come over to him. ”Sup.” Leo said to her with a small nod, he meant it more as a statement or a substitute for hello, rather than the question of ‘what is up?’ Because really, he didn’t care and could already see what she was doing so the question was unnecessary. ”Go for it.” He replied as he shifted a little to the side on the rock so that there was room enough for the small girl to sit on, or his lap was always available.

”You need to work on your control of the beast.” Leo continued on to the girl so that he could break the silence a bit and give a conversation starter. ”Also nice ass.” He decided to add on with a smirk to the girl, giving her a quick glance up and down before looking back up at the Pegasus that was flying around above them. It would need to come down sometime and Leo was interested to see what happened when it did so.

[Melanie Hunt]

She perched on the rock beside him like a small bird, hands neatly folded in her lap. She took care to make sure her dress remained stationary under her thighs, knees pressed closely together. No way would she flash the boy again, and certainly not while in such close contact. Their legs were practically touching to her discomfort.

She was about to argue with his comment on her control over Cherry as well as the use of the word 'beast'. Cherry Blossom was certainly no beast! He was a magnificent creature who did as he wished. It wasn't Mel's fault if he happened to want to fly. Besides, it was partially her fault for keeping him cooped up for as long as she did.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the chance, interrupted by the boy's rather rude words. First of all, he had cussed, causing her eyes to widen slightly. Her parents never cursed and neither did she. The girl was rarely exposed to such language besides the few times she'd hear foul-mouthed campers. Second of all, she didn't quite appreciate such vulgar comments about her body. "That's quite rude," she said matter-of-factly. "You shouldn't speak to girls that way,"

Leonardo began to ponder on why the girl seemed to stay quiet for as long as she did after he spoke. It was as if she was processing everything that was going on. She was sitting very close to him as well, even though the rock was quite small it was still close and Leo wasn’t sure if he was okay with the close-proximity. He liked his own space, like he had his own personal bubble that people shouldn’t burst unless he allowed them too and despite the fact Leo had moved to the side for the girl, he wasn’t sure what to think.

He rolled his eyes at the girl’s response, it was like she was his mother lecturing him. His mother was dead so the aspect of the ‘mother’ type lectures should be dead from his life too. ”It was a compliment, would you rather me phrase it more old fashioned?” Leo continued on, his tone quite blunt due to the slight annoyance of her own but also amusing himself. ”Thou have pleasing buttocks.” Leo then said, almost to himself in a mocking fashion. It didn’t quite have the same effect as the words he did actually say, however he didn’t care what the girl was thinking.

[Melanie Hunt]

Was he looking for a fight? Not that Mel condoned violence of course, but she wasn't at all afraid to give the tatted boy a piece of her mind. Of course his bulging muscles were rather intimidating, but she would resort to using Hell's Bane if needed. She doubted the boy could do much with a Stygian iron blade in him.

"My bum may be nice, but frankly that's none of your business." She grumbled, blushing with slight hesitance at her initial words. She had never thought of her backside as nice or hot or any of those things. She never even though of herself as any of those things. She was just sort of there. Boys didn't pay attention to her, though she didn't really mind. Leo teasingly complimenting her... 'buttocks' was definitely strange to her.

Leo watched the girl’s face as she replied to him, he noticed the way her cheeks had reddened as she spoke. This meant that something was going on to do with what Leo was saying, whether it was his charm or the fact she was embarrassed he was unsure. Both feelings he’d be okay with inflicting upon the girl however. ”It is when you flash the whole thing to me. Then it becomes my business.” Leo replied to the girl’s grumble, his voice calm and collected. He took a glance down at the girl’s lips

”Besides, it’s not like I would say no to seeing it again, it was a nice surprise.” Leo said as he ran a hand through his brushed back hair. The girl flashing her ass really was a nice addition to his boring, plain day with no violence and no partying. There’s only so long being at the stables and surrounded by the aroma of pegasi dung that Leo could withstand for it to not be a waste of time.
