Okay I just KNOW Leo tries those shitty pickup lines on Nat

The CHEESIEST pickup lines known to man, (but hey, at least she gets a laugh out of them!)

Leo tells her something like:

“Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only 10 I see.”

“Are you an artist? Because you’re really good at drawing me in.”

“If you were a flower, you'd be a daaaaaamn-delion.”

“I’m not a photographer, but I can picture me and you together.”

(I just copy pasted these from a random site lmaoo)

So getting straight to the point she’s still dead.

The College AU is pretty much an aged up AU of the normal lore so Nico, Toby, Leo, and Natalie (+ The rest of the seven except percabeth) are around 18-20

As I said before Leo and Natalie are roommates and they got together in the first place after Toby and Nico introduced them to each other

Leo is the average STEM student, he majors in Mechanical Engineering (yes I did my own research)

Natalie is the average Art student who definitely browses Pinterest until midnight, she majors in Fine Arts and specifies in painting

(The only abnormal thing about her is that she’s a serial killer with a clock for an eye and random stitches on her face)

But she’s in college so nobody cares about that and people think those are just accessories lmao

Toby is the average Film student who definitely does freelancing often and has a minor degree in Music (he probably got a few tips and tricks from Masky and Hoodie)

Nico, well that’s a tough one so I’d bet he’d major in Creative Writing and he would have a minor degree in History of War and Society

(he would definitely want to get caught up on society after WW2 since the only knowledge he would have of modern day would be McDonald’s and whatever memes or YouTube videos Toby showed him.)

(Along with all the rants he heard from BEN about video games, consoles, Japan, LOZ, and computer viruses.)

So yeah Nico is hella serious while studying for college

I could see the 4 of them having the unlikely friends dynamic in the College AU even though Nico and Leo have known each other before hand

AWWW

I love the idea that Leo and Natalie’s dynamic is just: (flirty x badass girlboss)

Also, I can imagine Leo being like “you know maybe we could do that later” and it’s just him wanting to be manhandled by Natalie or something lmao

Another thing, Leo helping Natalie repair / polish her knives and making sure her other eye that has a literal clock inside doesn’t get infected or damaged

(since he does repairs, and works with a lot of metal)

I can see them either hanging out in the spare bedroom Natalie has at the Mansion or in the cottage core-esc house she has in the forest near the Mansion

They would rarely be with each other while at Camp Half-Blood or at Camp Jupiter since they know that a bunch of teenage demigods and a literal serial killer that has ties to an eldritch god who’s probably seen as a monster by the gods won’t mix well

(They definitely don’t want to make the rest of the seven awkward / uncomfortable, well except Nico who’s dating Toby, Slenderman’s literal proxy so he’s the only one used to it.)

TLDR; Natleo is very cool and I have an AU for them ft. Nicoby that’s pretty much a College AU
