OnexOne with Mystikmage

Aria smiled contently as Keith practically wrapped himself around her. She didn't mind at all. After being away from him so long, Aria was glad for the closeness. She almost needed it. Opening her eyes, Aria glanced down at Keith and couldn't help but chuckle. He looked like a little kid...gently, Aria ran her fingers through his hair. It took somewhat of an effort though; her body was weak, and from the excitement of last night, Aria was physically drained.
Sighing again, Aria let her hand fall on Keith's shoulder before she turned her head and fell asleep.


"Thanks Leo."
Leo smiled. "No problem." he said, watching the kid walk off, and although she had a small limp, she was perfectly healthy. He sighed, rubbing his forehead gently. He glanced back at Keith and Aria, shaking his head before he walked back to Apollo's cabin. He'd promised Sara they'd go back to the cabin once he'd made his rounds. It had taken him a bit longer then expected, but he was finished now.
Finding her cot empty, Leo's heart nearly failed. However his mind retained enough common sense not to over-react and noticed the note Sara had left. Smirking, Leo shook his head. Grabbing his jacket, Leo tossed it over his shoulder before heading over to their cabin.

Sara shrugged off her jacket, shivering at the coldness of the cabin. Frowning, she quickly lit a small fire, carefully of course, since her arm still hurt like hell. She smiled, pleased with her little effort, and sat down on the bed, glancing around contently. She stretched out, debating on whether or not to shower, though she figured she'd ask Leo, sinec he might have a fit or something. She sighed, stretching out and waiting patiently for Leo. She figured he'd be along shortly, and she sincerly hoped he wasn't two annoyed.

Keith yawned, eyes flickering as he slowly began to drift off. Aria's fingers in his hair reminded him of old times, and he smiled against her, buried in the blanekts, using her as a pillow. He ws incredibly comfortable, despite the fact that he was in a lot of pain.

Leo knocked twice, as was his custom to let Sara know he was coming inside before opening the door. He closed it behind him, and tossed is jacket to the side, all the while looking at Sara with mixed emotions. He was surpressing his worry for Aria and Keith, though his worry for Sara was evident as he looked her over. He wasn't all that angry for her leaving without him; actually admiration was also in his eyes, because he knew Sara must be feeling better if her courage was back. She knew that leaving would possibly upset him, but yet she did so anyway.

"I thought we agreed that I'd come back for you." Leo said, though there was more amusement in his voice then anything else. He walked over to the bed, leaning forward and resting both his palms on the matrice as he kissed her lips softly.
"Couldn't wait to get back could you?" he asked with a smirk.

Sara glanced up as Leo knocked, smiling lightly. She watched him, almost hesitantly, as he came across the room.
She was about to respond, when he leaned over and kissed her, chuckling she shrugged.
"No, I couldn't, Apollo's cabin is so crowded and noisy, and ours is so, I dunno, nice" She laughed, smiling lightly at him and gently wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Not to mention private" She said, laughing again and releasing him.

She stretched out lightly, looking at him affectionately.
"Were you that worried about me?" She teased, winking lightly. She knew he had worried, he always worried. She smiled, sitting up a bit, looking around curiously, "Though, this place feels almost differently" She said, shrugging, unable to place the weird emotion.

Leo rolled his eyes affectionately, kissing Sara once more before pulling her arms down from his neck. He was gentle with her still heavily bandaged arm.
"After yesterday, and the past few days, I don't think you can get on me for worrying." Leo muttered, shaking his head. He frowned, hearing what Sara said about the cabin, that it felt different. He stood up and looked around slowly.

"Differently how?" Leo murmured, wanting to keep Sara talking. Aside from the cabin being a tad cold, Leo didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Sara had already started a fire, and Leo simply added another log, stroking it a while before going back to Sara and sitting down on the bed.

Sara laughed, "No, I suppose I can't give you a hard time" She said with a small chuckle. "I have no idea, maybe it's that I haven't been here in a few days" She said, shrugging and watching him throw another log on the fire.
"Thanks" She said with a small smile, "I made a small one, but I doubt I could lift the heavy logs with one hand" She said, smiling lightly. "Since my fingers still aren't working" She murmured, hoping she'd regain function soon.

She sighed, watching him with a soft eyes, a small smile on her face. "I love you" She said softly, rubbing her eyes absentmindedly.

Leo grinned lightly. "So ha." he said. Sitting back on the bed, he gathered Sara up in his arms, just wanting to hold her for a moment. So much had happened so fast, Leo hadn't given himself time to think about anything. He had only done what was required of him at that moment. Now...Leo was grateful to have Sara in his arms. They fighting could have turned out so much worse for them. The thought made Leo tighten his grip around her waist and rest his forehead against the top of her head.


"I love you too." Leo murmured with a deep breath. "I love you so much." he breathed, shaking his head gently; he didn't want to think about how close the calls had been. He was just thankful that Sara was alright...well...alright enough that Leo could heal her up in a day or two.

Like Leo, Sara really hadn't thought about anything, even all those hours in the 'hospital' she had preoccupied her mind with chess, reading and sleeping. She sighed, rubbing her eyes and smiling as he gathered her up. She laughed softly, smiling and cuddling against him, and closing her eyes.

She frowned as she heard the anxious tone in his voice. "Leo, don't worry about what happened, you'll kill yourself with the 'what ifs' and other thoughts like that" She said gently, shaking her head and letting her good hand come up and rub Leo's cheek affectionately.
"Seriously love, we're both fine, a little banged up, but fine" She said, cuddling with him, trying to make them both feel better.

Leo sighed deeply. He needed to hear that, espically from Sara. It gave him the reassurance he needed and Leo nodded, picking his head up. "Yea." he answered tightly, kissing Sara's forehead gently. "You're right." he said, sighing and pushing the thoughts away. One thought did come back to him though, but this time, Leo chuckled in disbelief.

"I shot Aria." Leo murmured, shaking his head. "Almost killed her..." his hands rubbed Sara's arms absentmindedly. When his fingers brushed over Sara's wrapped arm, a few shocks of pain juttered up his fingertips. Growling softly at the pain, Leo gently unwrapped Sara's arm, letting his warm hand rest gently against the wound as he worked to heal it.

He was once again thankful that he had caught Aaron when he did, otherwise...well, Leo was trying to take Sara's advice and not think about the what if's. The wound however was deep, so it was going to take Leo time. Now though, he could give his full attention to Sara and she'd heal twice as fast.

Sara sighed, "You shot her, and in doing so, saved her life" She said, wondering if he was upset over what happened. She wasn't sure, Leo could be extremely hard to read occasionally.
"Are you okay? With what happened?" She knew Leo was angry with Aria, hell, all of camp, excluding Keith was pissed off. She honestly had no idea how she felt, Aria had put them all through hell, especially Keith, though he seemed to have forgiven her no problem. Though, in all honesty, had it been Leo, she would have forgiven him in a second.

She winced as he unwrapped her arm, she hadn't really seen the injury, no one had given her the chance too, so she looked over his fingers, almost curiously.
"Ew" She muttered, sticking her tounge out at the injury, before wincing a bit at the heat, though like always, it felt nice.

Leo sighed deeply. "I saved what's left of her life." Leo muttered. "Aria is a medical nightmare. Her will alone is keeping her from death. Her body won't take my healing. So I'm pretty sure the ambrosia and nector are doing nothing for her as well." Leo explained softly as he rested his chin on Sara's shoulder, watching his hand with a soft frown.

"I'm not exactly ok. I don't understand half of whatever just happened these past...what? Three days? Two?" Leo muttered, rubbing his eyes with his other hand. "I didn't even think about what I was doing. I haven't been these past however many days. I've just....been doing what I have to." Leo murmured with a soft shrug and a sigh.

"Keith might be able to heal her" Sara said, "He has a knack for it, when he feels up to it" She said softly, "I don't think Keith can survive if Aria dies.." She said, wincing at the thought.
"I suppose we'll just have to see what happens, but it's Aria, she's tough as hell" She said, trying to reassure him.

She sighed, looking up at him softly. "I don't think any of us are okay right now love. But we're trying" She said softly, "And I'll do everything in my power to make sure you feel better" She said softly, kissing his cheek. "None of us are really functioning, we're just surviving, but that's how people get through these things. In time, we'll recover, move on, and be able to handle this stuff emotionally" She said softly.

Leo nodded gently. "If Aria makes it until Keith can get better." Leo murmured, wincing as the image of the black puss oozing from Keith's hand flashed into his mind. "You weren't the only one Aaron targetted. He went after Keith first with that black gunk." Leo explained. "Aria said he went back to Keith last night. She was able to clean some of it from his hand...but most of it is already in his system already. And I have no idea what to expect from it." Leo sighed, shaking his head.

Leo smiled as Sara kissed his cheek. "Thanks love. That means a lot." he murmured, kissing her back on the cheek. He sighed, focusing on healing Sara's arm.
"I guess so." Leo murmured with a soft shrug. Sara was a lot better when it came to emotions and how people dealed with them then Leo was.

Sara huffed, "Dont think that way, Keith will heal her, even if he's not necessarily better. Love does stupid things to people. Trust me" She said, winking at him, a small smile on her face. "You're welcome" She said softly, shaking her head at his pessimistic attitude.
"Even those who you don't think you can heal, you do" She murmured, "Your dad's helping you Leo, the gods obviously have a plan for Aria, they won't let her die, not yet" She said, hugging him lightly, trying to take his mind off things.

"Besides, let's not talk about these depressing things" She said softly, "We're here, just me and you, back in our cabin, we should be happy" She said softly, shifting in his lap, so she was now facing him, trying to make him feel better.

"Sorry, I know I'm making everything sound bad...but it's the truth." Leo murmured, though Sara's positive attitude helped a great deal. He felt a little better, though he wasn't going to let himself hope to much. It would be a miracle of Aria pulled through...Sara had a point; Aria was tough. She had lasted this long.

Leo chuckled, flexing his fingers as he stopped healing Sara for a moment. The wound wasn't as deep as it had been, and Leo simply rewrapped it before leaving it alone for the day.
"Yes you're right love." Leo murmured softly as he wrapped his arms around Sara, drawing her closer and kissing her softly. "And I'm happy I can finally have some time with you."

Sara smiled, cuddling comfortably into Leo's arms.
"Mmm, yes, some time alone with you is awesome" She agreed, "I was going nuts in Apollo's cabin, for more then one reason" She said, chuckling and snuggling closer to him. She watched him bind her arm, still making occasional faces, just for the comedy aspect. She wasn't alright, not by a long shot, but she kenw that Leo needed her to be happy and upbeat right now, just for his sake, and that she could do.

She chuckled, stretching and absentmindedly trying to flex her fingers.
"Well love, what shall we do? We have a whole cabin to ourselves" She said with a small wink, "I mean, for the last few days we've been cooped up in your siblings cabin, which was definately awakrd" She teased.

Leo laughed, and shook his head. "How is this so easy for you?" he teased. Keeping Sara in his arms, Leo leaned back onto the matrice, letting her rest on top of him. He sighed, tilting his head slightly as he looked at Sara, completely amazed though not for the first time. Leo gently let his hands slide from Sara's back down to her waist, keeping her against him.
"Oh I can think of a few things." Leo murmured, sitting up enough to grab the blanket out from under him, tossing it over Sara gently before pulling her closer.


Aria woke up shivering and in a cold sweat. Her whole body was trembling, and she had no control over the shaking. Taking a deep breath, Aria looked around, dazed and confused. Then she looked down, seeing Keith. Seeing him made her smile, however she was still cold. Seeing the bottle of nector on the table, Aria reached over with a trembling hand. It took both just to grab the half full container. Aria took a few sips, which burned going down and while it spread out, combating the cold that was freezing over her. Teeth chattering, Aria put the bottle down and tried to pull the blankets out from under Keith without bothering him.

Sara sighed, "Its not easy for me, I'm just better at hiding my emotions" She gasped, suprised as Leo laid down, taking her with him. She smiled, settled against him comfortably, "Just a few things?" She asked, arching an eyebrow at him and levelling him with a dazzling smile that she normally didn't use. She smirked, curled up on his chest, looking at him contently, still smiling teasingly, trying to get more answers out of him.

Keith shifted, waking up slightly.
"Leo's healings not working, is it?" He said, he'd figured it wouldn't, the titan had done some serious damage, to both of them, and Leo was a great healer, but somethings were special. He sighed, sitting up a bit, reaching for the water. Sucking in a breath, he dumbed some in his hand, and rested it on her stomach. He winced at what he felt. "Damn Aria, how in the hell are you still ticking?" He said, unsure if even he could help her. That thought scared him more then anything else, if he were to lose her, he doubted he could handle that.

Leo smirked at Sara's dazzeling smile. "I meant this...nowing how to have a good time." Leo murmured with a soft chuckle. He wrapped his arm around Sara, using one hand to tilt her chin up so that he could kiss her lips. He kissed her softly, and then again and again, each with a little more passion then the last.
"Does that give you a better idea?" Leo asked with a slightly devilsh laugh and his own teasing smirk, laying back down on the bed, letting Sara lay on his chest contently.


Aria gasped when Keith woke up. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't m-mean to w-wake you." she stuttered, her body still trembling despite the nector she'd drank. She didn't answer Keith's question though, not wanting him to worry at all; he had enough on his plate with his own injuries.
She watched Keith sit up and reach for the water. Her eyes went wide, knowing what he was going to do. "K-Keith do-don't." she didn't have the strength to stop him though. Screwing her eyes shut, Aria turned her face away from him. The shuddering ceased a bit under Keith's touch, but her skin was still cold.
"I-I..." Aria was about to say she didn't know, but at that moment she realized she did. Opening her eyes, she slowly looked back towards Keith. "I had Mike help me...he held part of the titan...I almost forgot about that...I took it all back before..." Aria trailed off, frowning and shivering. She couldn't remember. She had talked to Mike...then...nothing.

Sara smiled lightly at Leo, "Its a gift, literally, my mother is the good mood goddess" She said with a small shrug. She chuckled softly, smiling as he kissed her.
"Hmm, definately gives me a better idea" She said, smirking at him, green eyes twinkling dangerously. She shifted carefully, making sure the blanket covered the two of them...
"Mmm, you have awesome ideas love" She muttered, contently, her face buried in his neck.

Keith frowned, "Aria, gods" He was wide awake now. "Shit" He muttered, he'd have to heal her, he had to. He grabbed more water, "Dont argue with me, I can recover fine" He said gently, sitting up and shaking his head. Closing his eyes, he put more water in his hand, letting it drip onto her, the water rushing over her body, combating the damage. He was able to heal her, a bit, it'd take time, lots and lots of time, but he felt the water working.
Finally, he stopped, breathing harshly, "You're a bit better" He murmured softly, shaking his head and sighing.
"I'll have to do that a lot more, and I mean a lot" He murmured, "But you wont die"

Leo couldn't help but laugh as he held Sara contently. "You have a few awesome ideas yourself." he murmured, kissing her head softly and making sure the blanket was wrapped around the both of them. The fire was slowly dwindling, however Leo was much too warm and comfortable to even think about moving away from Sara.
"You alright?" Leo murmured.


Aria shuddered, whimpering lightly from how cold she felt. "No..." Aria stuttered, seeing Keith grab for more water. She closed her eyes tightly again, shuddering violently under the coolness of the water as Keith poured it over her waist and it spread under his command. Aria coughed; Keith's healing was different from Leo's. It wasn't harsh and burning. It was soothing, but at it wasn't cold. Aria grew still as the feeling slowly returned to her fingers and the numbness ebbed away.
"Keith..." Aria breathed, opening her eyes and seeing how drained he was from healing her. She was able to sit up and wrap her arms around his neck. She didn't know what to say, so she settled for just holding Keith at the moment.

Sara smiled, "I'm more then alright" She said, snuggling against him contently, watching the dying embers of the fire.
"Haha, lets just say its a gift" She said, chuckling, "My awesomeness that is" She murmured, letting her head rest against his shoulder, her fingers trailing delicatly over his chest.
"Mmm" She said gently, kissing his chin, which was the most she could reached right now.
"Love you" She said softly.

Keith smiled, breathing softly as Aria hugged him. "Feel better?" He asked softly, reaching for the water to have a few sips to refresh him. He was beyond relieved to know his healing worked on her, he thanked every god he knew, sighing lightly, blinking his eyes in order to stay awake.
"My healing's different from Apollo's" He murmured, "No burning" He chuckled.

Leo closed his eyes, a content smile on his tired face. He could feel everything Sara was doing from her fingers running down his bare chest to her soft breathing. She was an amazing piece of work in his eyes. And somehow, she managed to voice his very thoughts; Leo smirked. "Don't let it go to your head." Leo mumbled softly with a light chuckle.
"I love you too." He said, leaning over to kiss her forehead softly.


"Yes." Aria said with a soft nod. She drew herself away from Keith so that he could move around. Gently she steered him so that he was laying back down one the bed. Able to move a bit more now, Aria lay on her side, leaning towards Keith.
"I had forgotten about that..." Aria murmured with an almost embarassed smile. "You've done so much for me..." Aria whispered softly, letting her hand reach up to Keith's face, carassing his cheek and jaw gently. "I'll be alright for the night. Get some rest, please."

Sara laughed, "Hmm, how I can I not let compliments like that go to my head?" She teased, shaking her head and cuddling against his chest contently. She stretched out, before returning to her content position from before. She glanced at him, "Well, we managed to kill some time, but..." She trailed off, "We still have a lot of sunlight" She teased, kissing his chin again.

Keith shrugged, "I don't heal very much, not really my thing. Plus, Apollo's kids, its their job" He mumbled, smirking at her.
"You're fussing" He grumbled, shaking his head, chuckling, though it came out raspy. "I'll do some more healing tomorrow, don't argue" He grumbled, letting his eyes flicker for a second, before he passed out.

Leo laughed and shook his head at Sara. "Well if spending time with you like this is going to fuel your ego...I'll have to let the time." Leo said, sounding serious for all that he was joking. He opened an eye, looking down at Sara while she stretched. He smirked and chuckled before closing his eyes as she leaned back against him.
"There's about two more hours of sunlight." Leo murmured. He could tell it was somewhere close to three in the afternoon, and during the summer the sun tended to set sooner in the evening.

Aria kissed Keith's cheek and rolled her eyes. Though she said nothing else when Keith complained about her fussing. She sighed, laying on the bed, slightly content in her silence. In truth, Aria was worried. She hadn't planned for this at all...Aria had known how good of an acher Leo was...she was genuially surprised that Leo hadn't killed her. She didn't think Leo would be able to heal her; the fact that Keith could even in small amounts, surprised her.
she sighed deeply and shook her head as Keith lectured her about another healing session tomorrow. "Stubborn..." Aria whispered affectionately as Keith passed out.
