[ She dips her head to plant soft, affectionate kisses along his shoulder, nuzzling the crook of his neck quickly before continuing her way along his jaw. Her other hand traces little patterns - ancient symbols she's memorized most likely - over his shoulder and back. ]
Unzip the skirt, then go for the leggings. [ Sigh. ]
[ He rolls his to give her plenty of room to continue. Despite the instructions, he doesn't do anything about the leggings yet, instead running warm hands up her sides and relishing the feeling of being back. And while she's at his neck, he bites gently at her earlobe. ]
[ He gets a tiny moan in reply as she presses her fingertips into skin she's missed. This is what it's like, huh, making up for time spent anxiously missing her boyfriend. Reunions aren't so bad.
Just as it heats up - haha - a voice rings out via IM to interrupt.
" Uh. Guys?" It's Piper. "I am so not looking but we kind of need you. Before Reyna gets you herself, please. ]
[ Natalie freezes in place, turning to see Piper covering her face on the other end. She shoots Leo a look. ]
Sorry. I - we'll be there soon.
[ Damn it, she should have been more responsible. Piper wipes the message away and Natalie purses her lips, reaching for her shirt. But only after she gives Leo a kiss of consolation. ]
[ Leo reluctantly settles for the kiss, but it doesn't make up for much. Frustrated at having to leave so soon, he steps away from the table with a roll of his eyes. ]
They can't wait one hour?
[ He shakes his head, not even noticing that he's steaming a little. ]
[ Her lip curls in annoyance as she tries to fix her hair, separating and twirling a few curls in the front so it doesn't look as if she's been completely disheveled. ]
It better be short.
[ This hasn't really happened to her, being cut off suddenly, so to speak. She pushes off the worktable. ]
[ Natalie claps a hand on his shoulder as if stamping out a fire, her eyebrows raised. ]
Maybe the tension will make things exciting or something.
[ Isn't that what women's magazine said? Then again, most of that is trash. The problem here is that for the next few hours, Natalie will not stop thinking about sex. ]
I'm gutted, Leo - [ Natalie murmurs, watching the Big House come into view. ] - that the thought of me shirtless doesn't have you, like, dying from, you know, frustration.
[ When they eventually enter the meeting, hand in hand, Natalie at least has the decency to look sheepish and avoid everyone's gaze, simply shuffling to a seat with Leo in tow. ]
[ He uses dumb comments like this to cover up his irritation a lot. Piper gives him a sidelong glance, but he avoids her gaze. They are definitely not talking about that IM. Ever. Any acknowledgement that it even happened should be banished to the deepest parts of Tartarus. ]
[ On Natalie's side, Reyna and Annabeth look less than pleased, though there's a hint of amusement in the way Annabeth gives them both a side glance. She lowers her head and tries to pay attention to the meeting, lifting her free hand only to levitate the bowl of popcorn towards her.
Under the table, she holds Leo's hand like promised, tapping her thumb against his. 'H i L e o.' ]

We had a few tiny little problems on the quest - that's why we got back late. If this meeting doesn't drag on like a history class, I'll be surprised.
[ And maybe he won't burn down the Big House. ]

Oh, yeah! Totally exciting. If by exciting you mean the longest, most torturous hours of my life.
[ Siiiiigh. Better get this over with - the sooner, the better. ]
no subject
It -- will probably be that bad, but you can hold my hand under the ping pong table if that makes you feel better.
no subject
Hold your hand under the table? What, are we in kindergarten now?
[ Not that he'd mind, of course, but he grins teasingly. ]
no subject
Well, you don't have to hold my hand if you don't want, it was just an offer.
[ Natalie tacks an exaggerated sigh onto the end of that sentence as she trudges her way towards the door. ] I guess we should go now.
no subject
So how much do you think Percy's going to bother us about this?
[ He is not looking forward to finding out. ]
no subject
I wanna see how long he lasts without making a comment. Then I can hex him or something.
no subject
I give him a minute.
no subject
[ Please. Like he and Annabeth haven't had close calls. ]

[ A beat ]
Seriously, don't, you'll burn the house down.
no subject
I'm not gonna burn the house down.

[ She gives his hand a tug. ]

Did I say I was looking forward to this? I take it back.
