The Heroes of Olympus - Rick Riordan
by QueenJunoTheGreat
The fact of the matter was that nobody had convinced Leo to leash train Festus, he’d made that decision all by himself based on one single off-hand comment. Actually, multiple people had told him he was crazy for even trying, but Leo was stubborn, Festus was remarkably smart, and before too long, Leo was one of those weirdos on the internet running errands with a cat. 94.8% of the time this was fine. Better than fine, actually.
Unfortunately, Festus was a very strong 22-pound behemoth of a cat, and if he decided that he wanted to chase a bird, Leo’s feeble, distracted grip on a leash was not going to stop him.
Then, wonderfully, miraculously, Leo heard that familiar obnoxious yodel, and he whirled around on his heel, heart leaping into his throat. “Festus!”
Festus meowed happily at him, and Leo was so relieved that he almost missed the fact that he was being held in the very sturdy arms of a very handsome man. Hi there. I think this gentleman belongs to you.”---Between the world's most awkward meet-cute, a well-meaning best friend, a disaterous date, and a cat determinde to make him look bad, Leo learns that sometimes the best parts of life are found in the failure rates.
