“What look?” he inquired, while still giving him the puppy eyes. He was an unstoppable force and he would get his way, he just had to figure out a way to do so, and if there was one thing Leo was good at, it was finding solutions. “Jason - I thought we were best friends, why won’t you indulge me?” Leo sighed dramatically, putting a hand over his heart as if he were hurt.
“It’s not suppose to be practical, Grace! C’mon, just try the combo for a little while, I’m not asking you to fight monsters in it - just a quick look to see what it would look like!” by this point he was bouncing from foot to foot, tugging a bit on Jason’s sleeve, trying to get him to comply.
Why did he have to do that? Why the guilt trip? Each time Leo would do that to Jason it pierced his heart worse than any arrow. It made it harder to keep his foot down, and with that look included…well the son of Jupiter was about to lose. “You know the look. The ‘Jason play videogames with me even though I know we have things to do’ look and the ‘Jason grab me a snack even though it’s after dinner and you might get in a lot of trouble’ look,” he huffed. “Best friends or not my clothing styles shouldn’t be used for Valdez entertainment.”
But even with the strong words there was little to no bite behind them. With the thought of not having to wear it more than a few minutes, and hopefully not in public, he was starting to give in. “…But if we do it in my room and if I don’t have to leave the room until I’m back in normal clothes then… I guess I can indulge you. You’ll owe me something very big later though, like one hundred tofu tacos big.” Though if this worked and he looked nicer, but not too flashy, then maybe that could be rearranged.
“Aw c’mon, now even like - at least a laser pointer?” he pouted, trying not to show his disappointment. He really was just itching to get his hands on Jason’s glasses so he could examine them and fiddle around with them. He had never gotten the chance to add anything special to glasses since no one else aboard the Argo II had them, but now that he did, he had too. “Can I least add something to it? Anything, please?” He was making grabby hands and jumping up and down excitedly like a child, but he really wanted to do stuff with them.
"A laser pointer???“ What was he going to do with a laser pointer? Hope that one of the monsters he had to fight was as easily to distract as a cat maybe… He shook his head, a smile very clear on his face at the thought of how ridiculous he’d look with that. "Alright, alright. You can mess with them, but please don’t mess with he lenses.” It was hard to say no to Leo, especially when he was so excited about working on something. He trusted Leo not to mess them up, and maybe there could be something really cool added onto it. “No laser pointers though. Not exactly something I need,” Jason added, taking off the glasses and handing it to the shorter demigod.

continued from here.
“Don’t give me that look, Leo,” Jason huffed. He still wasn’t convinced that loose clothing was the way to go. It caught on things and wasn’t suited for combat at all. That with tight pants? “No way am I doing that combo. It’s too unpractical to wear.” Not to mention he wasn’t fond of the attention Leo was implying would happen. “I’ll stick with my clothes, the not tight or loose ones, thank you.”
Though the demigod wasn’t sure what would happen if Leo kept that face up.
“ Dude! You should totally let me borrow
your glasses for a day - no, no, no wait!
Just hear me out! Like what if I could
make them really high tech? Like, x-ray
vision, actually scratch that part, I think the
girls would murder me… But maybe lasers
shooting out of them?? Like that one dude
in X-men! ”
"Calm down Leo,“ he laughed, putting his hands up as if to tell the other demigod ‘whoa, slow down there.’ "Lasers would cool, but I’m still trying to get used to the things as they are right now. I don’t want to accidentally fry someone who walks into my room. And for the x-ray vision… Yeah the girls would murder us.” Jason shook his head. “But they’re not all that they’re cracked up to be. Seeing is great, don’t get me wrong, but they’re just glasses.”
