(Reader POV)

I fell asleep in Leo's bed. I was looking at him when he lifted his head and looked at me. He whispered my name. "Leo? You can see me?" I asked, touching his face. "And hear you, yes. Now how's about getting me out of here?" I smiled sadly. "I would, but this is only a dream. But don't worry. We're about two days away," I whispered. "Did you get my note?" he asked. "Yeah. When'd you write it?" I looked at the food. "You're not eating this, are you?" I looked at him. "No! I made a promise to myself I'd try to keep myself alive so you didn't have to keep being in this state of denial," he said."That's sweet, Leo. How'd you know I was in a state of denial, though?" I smiled at him. "Same way you're here now, a dream." he tried to wrap his arms around dream me. I smiled at his effort. "You're going to have to wait a couple days before we reunite in real life," I kissed his cheek and woke up.

At breakfast, I was watching for Leo. I knew that if he had seen me in my dream, it should work vise versa. I'd think that either Aphrodite or Hecate was the cause for him being able to see me when enemies couldn't. Or just the power of our love was enough to make it happen. I finished my breakfast and headed to my room

(Leo's POV)

After my conversation with (Y/N), I was pondering over how I could see and hear her during her dream. The only thing I could think of was magic. I was thinking that Aphrodite was behind it. I kicked the tray of food across the floor. I heard it clang against the wall, and smiled to myself as a plan formulated in my head.

I looked down at my waist. My tool belt was still there, thank the gods. I held my hand out in front of me. I watched as my fingers burst into flames. At least I had that going for me. Two-thirds of my plan were in shape, but I had to tell (Y/N) about it, and I was going to have to figure out how to integrate it into whatever plan Annabeth figured out.

I fell asleep and looked mine and (Y/N)'s quarters. She was sitting on my bed, reading. I sat on the edge and put my ghostly hand in front of her book. She looked up and smiled. "You finally fell asleep, huh?" She scootched over next to me. "Yeah. So, have you guys come up with a plan yet?" I rested my hand on her shoulder. "No, we were thinking of doing that later, so we have the plan fresh in our memory," she tried to put her head on my shoulder, but I wasn't solid enough. "Okay. That's good, because I have something for you to see if you could add," I explained my plan. "Got it. I'll tell her. But are you sure your fire works?" she asked, grabbing my hand, and I lifted it for her. I lit my finger, and she moved her hand. "Okay. Just making sure. I love you," she said. "I love you, too," I said before waking up.
