Hoo Boys x Reader Headcanons You Come Home Covered In Bruises

Percy Jackson would go batshit insane. Someone is dying. The man would literally kill a god for his friends. He'd sit you down and demand to know who hurt you. Whoever hurt you would be dead. Percy would absolutely make sure you were okay first. If you insisted that no one hurt you, he would threaten to kill a rock or a door or whatever you claimed caused the bruising. No one touches a friend of Percy Jackson. No one especially touches his lover.

Jason Grace would panic. How on Earth could something else be powerful enough to give you that much bruising? He'd stay calm, obviously. But internally, he'd be a wreck. He'd pull you aside and ask you if you were okay. He'd reassure you that no one was mad at you and you weren't going to get in trouble for anything you did. You're safe with him. He'd never be mad at you. He'll find whoever hurt you and try to talk to them peacefully first.He'd try to do things the right, Roman way. Going through the law. But the second they say something rude to him or about you, it's over, no more diplomatic Jason. Whoever touched you would have hell to pay. If you insisted that no one hurt you, and that you had some sort of accident, he'd laugh it off with you. Jason would still be worried, though. He'd make sure you were okay, insisting you go to the infirmary just in case.

Leo Valdez would try to play it off, hoping it was just an accident. How could anything intentionally hurt such a sweet, caring person? Once it hits him that you're genuinely hurt, he's dropping everything to take care of you. There's nothing more important to him than you. You won't be walking anywhere or lifting anything until you are 100% better. He'll definitely have a chat with anyone who hurts you or tries to ask you to do anything more laborious than breathing. And threatening arson. He wouldn't ever actually light anyone on fire, but they don't know that. He'd liter your face with kisses and a gentle one on each individual bruise.

Frank Zhang would drop to his knees when he sees you, taking your hands in his and pressing them to his lips. He'd insist you tell him what happened, his eyes pleading for you to tell him that you're okay. He'd believe whatever you told him instantly, no second thoughts. He'd definitely try to report whoever hurt you, trying to avoid direct conflict. But if he saw someone hurting you, they're getting mauled. He'd defend you until the end. But he'd much rather avoid conflict.

You’d Have to Stop the World Just to Stop the Feeling (12842 words) by HuntingRays

Summary: Leo and Jason had been friends for ages. They had been childhood friends and grew up together. Due to their closeness, Leo thought it was only natural that his thoughts around him strayed. He was so comfortable in his sexuality that he entertained funny thoughts about what it would be like to date his best friend. He specifically wondered what it would feel like to kiss him. However, it wasn’t weird. They had such a close, unbreakable bond that he felt comfortable with the idea. They were both straight, so they’d never come to fruition, but they were amusing to think about. It was natural. Anyone would think about it if their best friend was as attractive and sweet as Jason. Everyone thought that way. Right? __ or, the five times Leo thinks it's normal to want to kiss his best friend, the one time he realizes it isn't, and the one time he gets kissed.

METAL FLOWERS(LEO VALDEZ X GN!DEMETER!READER)

Ofc! Sorry this is kinda late, If you seem to see anything you might suggest changing please let me know!

⚠️WARNINGS⚠️: fluff, Leo is able to rest his head on readers shoulder(idk if that’s a warning, but I’m gonna put it anyway just in case)

SUMMARY: Leo makes reader a gift, a bouquet of metal flowers, and it leads to them having a rare moment of quiet in bunker 9

!!!!!NOT BETA READ!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For being a son of Hephaestus, a man said to be repulsive, they thought that their boyfriend was the cutest person they had ever seen. He’s been working on a project for a few days now, not letting them know what it is, claiming “it’s a secret!” every time they asked. 

They had picked some flowers earlier that day and were putting them into a vase in bunker 9, a thing they had started doing after they and Leo had started dating, just to liven the place up a bit, make it feel more homey and less like a workshop. They also do it so Leo has a constant reminder of them in bunker 9. Anyways, moving on, they were arranging the flowers in the vase when they feel arms wrap around their waist and a head on their shoulder.

They move their hands from the bouquet of flowers to bring one of their hands up to run through Leo’s hair. “Hello, my love.” they turn around in his embrace, wrapping their arms around him, their smile wide.

His smile widens, placing a peck on their cheek before he says “hey floración*, I made something for you.” He smiles cheekily, reaching up and placing his hands over their eyes, leading them over to his work table.

Their smile softens as he removes his hands from over their eyes, looking at the bouquet of metal flowers. “Thank you Leo, they’re beautiful” They take the metal flowers into their hands before placing a quick kiss on Leo’s cheek.

His smile widens at their reaction to his gift and their thanks. He feels his cheeks get warm as they press their lips to his cheek, and a small section of his hair bursts into flames before he quickly puts it out, trying to act casual and like he didn’t just get flustered and his hair didn’t light on fire. “Yeah- yeah, of course!” 

They chuckle as they watch part of his hair catch fire after they press a kiss to his cheek and their smile widens as they get an idea. They take one of Leo’s hands into their dominant hand, spinning him around in a twirl before pulling him close and wrapping their arms around him.

He laughs as they spin him around before wrapping their arms around him, pulling him close. He reciprocates the embrace, wrapping his arms around them, swaying back and forth, placing his head on their shoulder, letting out a tired, yet still content, hum.

Their smile softens at the peacefulness of the moment, and they give Leo a comforting squeeze, swaying back and forth with him, and their voice is quiet as they speak next to Leo’s ear. “I love you, repair boy.” 

He smile widens and he responds in kind to their declaration of love. “I love you too, floración*,” He says, burying his face into their shoulder, adding on a quiet murmur. “A lot.”

*floración - bloom

leo valdez x female!reader backtrack: "pretty u", seventeen inspiration: my desire to have someone love me like this 🥺

day one: the introduction

today I saw the most perfect girl!

okay, I know I say that every time I see a girl, but I think this time is for real. she’s perfect--beautiful and completely out of my league, like usual. I was just walking around camp when she walked by. it was like the actual grass parted to make way for her. she had a golden aura and flower petals were flying around her, illuminating her beauty. I wanted to ask for her number, but then I remembered that demigods aren’t supposed to have phones.

percy noticed me staring at her, I guess. he said something about me taking my shot, that she was single and I might as well try. I don’t know if he was joking or not, but I haven’t stopped thinking about her since I saw her this afternoon. at dinner my fork missed my mouth because I was watching her laugh with her friends. I was sitting on the other side of the pavilion, but I still heard her laugh. it was like twinkling bells.

I asked percy for her name: [name]. the word sounds like magic on my tongue. I’ve gotta talk to her soon. maybe she can drop something and I’ll pick it up for her and she’ll fall in love with me. maybe she’ll trip and I’ll dramatically catch her before she falls. I’ll say something nice--maybe “hey angel, did it hurt when you fell from heaven?”--and we’ll fall in love.

okay, I’m getting ahead of myself. the first step to making [name] love me? I’d have to talk to her first.

day two: the failed meeting

leave it to percy to mess up what could’ve been a fairytale romance.

it was better than I could’ve imagined: we were at the arts and crafts station during afternoon free time. I sat as close to [name] as I could, which wasn’t really close because she was sitting with her friends and siblings. a gust of wind blew by--aeolus must’ve liked me today--and a bunch of feathers that [name]’s group was using blew off the table. I jumped out of my seat to pick up a stray feather that had blown to my side of the table. then I tripped over percy’s outstretched foot right in front of everyone.

he swore it wasn’t on purpose. maybe it really wasn’t--percy’s not that big of a jerk--but I was still mad. that was the perfect opportunity to get [name] to notice me. now it’s gone.

day seven: the beginning of something magical

[name] talked to me today!

she didn’t say much--just “excuse me”, because I was blocking her way to the bathroom. but she looked at me! and she smiled a little when she said it!

percy made fun of me relentlessly after that. apparently I had a “dopey smile” on my face. I didn’t even care that he was laughing at me.

this is a new development. she’s finally noticed me.

day twenty: the realization

I think this is serious.

usually after I see a pretty girl, I think about her for a few hours. maybe even a few days if she’s really hot. but now it’s been almost three weeks since I first saw [name], and I still can’t stop thinking about her. she’s talked to me a couple times now, but she still hasn’t paid much attention to me outside of these two-second conversations. she knows my name now--I made sure to tell her--and I’ve made her laugh a few times though, so that’s progress.

I caught myself tapping out her name in morse code today. I do it a lot now, almost as much as I tinker around with my bolts.

day twenty-five: the first big move

I can’t take it anymore.

she’s always on my mind. I can’t think straight when I’m around her. I get this huge smile on my face whenever I think of her. percy’s stopped teasing me; I think he might actually be kind of concerned.

I wrote her a love letter. cheesy, I know, but I didn’t know what else to do. I was originally planning on just going up to her all confident and smoothly ask her out. but when I opened my mouth to hit her with one of my deadly pickup lines, nothing came out. I got more jumpy than usual, and my chest was all warm and fluttery. I was looking at her--gods, her eyes are so pretty--but then it got really hard to keep looking at her, so I looked away. I was painfully aware of myself tinkering with little bolts. she was looking at me with this little smile on her face, as if waiting for me to say something--I had stopped her to talk to her in the first place--but I couldn’t think of what to say. I said something real smart, like “are you the square root of negative one, because you can’t be real.” she looked at me, kinda confused, and I awkwardly slunk away. I’m used to rejection, but this was so much worse.

then I remembered that we’re demigods. [name] probably hadn’t progressed in school to the point where she learned about radicals.

so now here I am with this stupid love letter. I included a little apology for the confusing pickup line. I don’t know how I’ll give it to her. maybe I actually won’t. yeah, that’s probably for the best. this letter is the most serious, most straightforward I’ve been in the last millennia. even though I’m sure by now that she’s a literal angel and probably won’t laugh at me, I don’t want to take any chances. I know what I want to say to her, now it’s just a matter of how I’ll tell her.

day twenty-six: the betrayal (and the win)

I don’t know what in hades’s underpants happened. but [name] got ahold of the letter.

it was percy. it had to have been percy. percy was the only one who knew about my crush.

well, okay, maybe not the only one--apparently everyone in camp knew, even though I hid it really well-- but he’s the only one who’s ever talked to me about it. it had to have been him, there’s no other option.

I’ll have to get him back. but that’ll wait. because [name]--drumroll, please!

she stopped me before breakfast today and asked to talk somewhere in private. I said I’d follow her to the bottom of tartarus. she laughed and led me to the pegasi stables--kind of an odd place, but definitely private.

she was holding the letter in her hands. she said she was really flattered, that my gesture was “really sweet” and nobody had ever done something like this for her. most importantly, she said she liked me too.

now, even though I can be pretty good at talking to girls, I actually don’t have much experience in a relationship--shocking, I know. I’ve had a lot of potential girlfriends before, but nothing’s ever been this serious or gotten this far.

in that moment, I said what might have been the smartest or the dumbest thing in my life: “so are we official now, or do you want me to yell it out to the whole camp?”

she laughed. and next thing I knew, her lips were on my cheek. she pulled away--my face felt hot, and I took a few seconds to make sure I wasn’t actually on fire--and grinned at me. her face was pink too, and she didn’t have makeup on, but she was just about the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.

“you’re a dork, leo,” she said. “but you don’t have to tell everyone. I’m pretty sure they already know anyway.”

no idea how that could’ve happened. but it seems like I owe percy jackson a thank you now.

Thinking about Leo Valdez x Undiagnosed Adhd!reader-

Here me out here- reader who never got diagnosed either bc/ their mortal parent(s) were neglectful and didn't listen, or just didn't have the resources.

they think there's something wrong with them, not being able to sit still or focus- then they get shipped off to wilderness camp where they meet Leo Valdez who they start to open up too.

Leo Valdez who was just as fidgety as you, and was called out for day dreaming in class just as much as you were.

"I just can't focus. it's horrible! there's something wrong with me I swear. I have no motivation ever and unless it's something I like, but if I could get stuff done I would it's like I cant force myself to do anything ever."

"..I'd hate to tell you this-"

This isn't me trying to romanticize it, but I think Leo would absolutely try and help you anyways he could, and reader is just feeling so validated because "oh shit I'm not just lazy??"

(Btw lmk if y'all would want me to write for Leo bc I'm desperately inlove with him and have a buncha unfinished drafts I could finish if I ever got the motivation)

as someone who is also madly in love with Leo, could you pretty please do some headcannons of friends to lovers with a child of Apollo who accidentally predicts the future and when it happens they look at each other like "?!?" dont have to if you dont want to and sorry if its specific, feel free to do whatever with this, have a good day :)

ohhh I fw this alot actually

i changed it a lil, so leo doesn't see the vision, but I think it works better that way- leaving y/n to wonder if they should tell them or not, kind of a 'if I tell him will it mess with the future?' so they kinda wait for him to confess

(Poll to decide what to do next with this )

Foresight <3

Leo Valdez X Apollo!Reader

in which: Apollo!reader has a vision after Leo gives them a gift!

Warnings: none I can think of- lmk if you think of something!

~⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆~

Reader has vague oracle powers, not as prominent as Rachel dare's, but Wednesday style visions triggered when they touch something ifykwim

they don't know much about their powers, Chiron said it was pretty rare, but you have sessions with Rachel to try and strengthen their powers

They went to visit Leo in bunker nine, maybe bringing him food because he didn't show up to lunch or something (He does this often because he refuses to wear a watch and get hyper-focused on projects)

when they get there, they don't find him working on his usual project, but tinkering with something small on a standing desk, and call out to him, making him look up

Reader asks what he's working on, and Leo proudly raises a chain link bracelet with a sun charm dangling from it.

he explains that it's for reader, and stands up to put it on them.

Reader holds out their wrist, slightly flushed, but touched by the gesture. but as soon as the metal touches their wrists, visions flash before their eyes-

it's them and Leo sitting on the camp beach, with Leo's arms around them, his head in their neck. Reader can vaguely hear Leo's voice, "I love you.."

then their back in the bunker, mouth open, staring at Leo with wide eyes. Leo could tell they had a vision, the way their eyes suddenly went white.

"what was it this time?"

Reader falters, just staring at him, trying to think up an answer

I really really liked this! thanks sm for the ask! i'd be super willing for a part two on this

Animals

Leo Valdez X animal lover!Reader

in which: Leo tries to win you over by showing you his favorite 'animal'!

warnings: none that I can think of! Lmk if there's anything I should put!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leo Valdez had been almost painfully aware of you since he had met you. Like a rock in his shoe he couldn't kick out, always lingering in his head and around camp.

At first, he thought it was just because of how you looked. You were attractive. He wasn't blind. But normally his sad longings for pretty people ended after a few days, but that didn't seem to be the case for you.

He didn't even know why he was so fixated on you, the first time he tried to talk to you, you just rolled your eyes and walked away. And every time after that. Ouch.

So...Leo started watching you. Not in a creepy way, really! Just whenever you were around he found himself paying a extra bit of attention to you.

Quickly, he realized you were like that to just about everyone except your siblings and a small (tiny really) group of people.

He couldn't express how badly he wanted to be in that group.

Then one day, while running to get something for Piper, he found you sitting in the strawberry fields, couched down, hand held out to a small white rabbit.

"C'mon it's alright.." he heard you whisper to it, "C'mon buddy.."

He was frozen, watching you whisper to the small animal. You were so soft. It wasn't like he'd ever seen you before. All of the sudden the rude, off-putting person he thought he knew was gone.

He watched the bunny approach you enough that you raised your hand, letting it sniff you.

And Leo Valdez knew he was done for.

After that, he followed you around like a lost puppy. Trying to talk to you as much as he could- offering to walk you to your cabin after campfire, or leaving his table to talk to you during lunch. Each attempt unsuccessful. Met with eye rolls and scoffs.

but slowly, it became less annoying and more enduring.

you were still snippy, and rude, but all of the sudden, you found yourself letting him trail behind you.

Once, he showed up to the arena when he knew you were training (a bad habit he had) and he found you there... with a giant black hell hound. Your hand behind it's ear.

"Ohhh such-a-good-girl! mhm- yeah- sososo good-"

Leo realized the hell hound was Mrs. O'leary- but there was a moment of prominent panic when he first saw you.

the more time he spent with you, the more he realized how lovey you were animals- all of them.

Racoons that found their way into camp trash cans? you had a new best friend. The black cat that hung around the Hades cabin? he had seen you with it on multiple occasions.

Slowly.. Leo came up with a plan. It was so obvious! Animal lover?? He had a whole dragon! Isn't that like.. the best animal?

So finally after a few days of prodding, he got you to follow him into the woods.

"It's so cool! you'll love it- I promise." He practically bounced though the woods to bunker nine, he talked fast about how you would love It and then, outside the forge..

"Is.. Is that a.." Leo watched as your mouth dropped open.

"this.. is Festus."

"Can.. can I..?" He nodded, watching as you slowly approached the bronze dragon, slowly raising your hand to pet his nuzzle.

It took about thirty seconds before your arms were wrapped around its neck mumbling about how amazing he was. Festus clearly enjoyed the attention, clicking and purring(?), nuzzling into you.

"You like him?"

"How could I not look at this big olde' baby-" and you look up at him. You're smiling wider than he'd ever seen you. You open and close your mouth once before a quiet, "Thank you.. Leo."

He could barely breath.

Maybe you weren't completely in love with him. He could handle that.

In your eyes, the gesture was how Leo showed you he actually cared about you. That he paid attention. Maybe that's why you started sitting by him at campfire, and now he wasn't always the one who started conversations. A friendship bloomed quickly, and your feeling for him even quicker.

and all because of a metal dragon.

Here me out..

You meet leo in wilderness school. You became quick friends and eventually started hanging out with piper and Jason. one night, you and leo snuck out onto the roof. He opened up to you about running away, and about being scared everyone was gonna leave him. So, you take his pinky in yours and promise to never abandon or leave him when he needed you.

But then... Camp. The prophecy. An oath to keep with final breath. And then you realize.. your pinky promise...one of you is gonna die to save the other.

But you're already in love with him. And you know...that you're gonna protect him no matter what.

I think that would be silly (it's in my drafts give me like a week or two)

Chefs <3

Leo Valdez x gn!reader

Warnings: cussing, kisses, mentions of parental death (leos mom), knife for cooking, i think thats it? Lmk if theres somthing else!!!

Leo valdez cooking w reader fic??? Leo Valdez cooking with his partner but they get distracted and make a mess and kisss ahhahahahahah *eye twitches*

This is rly short lmao i wrote it on a whim and i didnt rly worry abt it being properly formatted or grammatically correct so...

--------

"how many onions should i cut up?" He asked, he was bent over holding one of your moms kitchen knives. A smile plagues his face as he watches your eyes scan over the pages of a cookbook.

He loved cooking, or he loved his memories of cooking. He used to cook with his mom, but... He hadn't gotten to actually cook anything in the years since she passed.

"uh... Just the one? You have to dice them though-"

"dice?"

"like...really small or somethin'? hold on ill show you how i was taught." You said putting down the book and slipping onto the chair next to him, "gimme-"

He handed you the knife and watched as you cut the onion. He knew he was supposed to be watching how to do it properly, but how could he be expected to focus when your right there?

He zoned out, watching you. He only snapped out of it when you said his name again.

"leo-?"

"hm? Yeah?"

"see how i did that?"

He paused weighing the options in his head.

"..i did...Kinda."

You tried to look irritated, but you couldn't help how you smiled.

"yeah?"

"yeah."

"yeah, okay fireboy."

There's a long pause, you watch silently as his face falls slightly.

"hey, y/n?"

"yeah?"

"i love you." He whispers. It was hard for him. Hard for him to say i love you, hard for him to let himself think you loved him back.

"hey, i love you too." You whisper back, smiling softly.

Your hands move to cup his face, pressing a soft kiss on his lip. His hands move to your waist and... Heaven.

Once you pull away, he stares at you for a long moment, only being distracted by a bubbling noise.

"uh..i think the waters boiling over."

"shit."

Leo valdez x (gn) reader drabble

Cw: kissing thats it :)

This is like 200 words im not writing a summery lmafo

----

You groaned as the curtains over your bed were pulled open, instinctively pulling your comforter over your head and turning on your side.

"Mornin' baby..."

"Fuck off"

Its only responded to with a small snicker and a new weight on the side of your bed, "C'mon..."

He was using his nice voice, like he was lureing a kitty away from a sewer drain. His hands found your waist from over the comforter, and his hands turned you onto your back slowly.

"Leo...."

He laughs, and slowly reaches to pull the blanket away from your face. When you can finally see him again, he has his dumb happy face on and beaming eyes.

You were tired. Exhausted, even. Last night there was a monster attack that took forever to clean up after. But gods, you couldn't ignore the upwards tug of your lips when you saw him beaming at you.

"How do you have so much damn energy?"

He rolls his eyes, leaning over you he lowered himself to press a kiss to your forehead.

"Asshole..."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

He laughs and kisses you again.

"Mmmm.. i love you, Leo."

"I love you too... But you still have to get up."

"I don't love you that much-"

You're cut off with another kiss, and as much as you'd hate to admit it, there's worse ways to wake up.

I headcannon that leo valdez has glasses

Like not necessarily all the time, i mean he was in and out of foster homes for years, even if he needed them he prob wouldn't have gotten them till camp anyways (and the camp health care system is a buncha 15 year olds..)

So just reading glasses

For when hes tinkering with smaller bits n bobs he wears reading glasses to help him see all the small parts better.

They're like the big black square-y ones (picture the glasses tony gives peter in no way home)

And when hes not wearing them, he fidgets with them!!

Folding and unfolding them, tapping on the lenses, tapping them on his legs, whatever

And really he only wears them when hes working (or sometimes reading) so imagine his partner's (whether its jason or reader or whatever) surprise when they go to see him and there he is bent over some device with glasses!

They just think it's the cutest thing! Especially if they wear glasses too!

Just a thought but it made me giggle

i have a request!!! you should write a daughter of apollo x leo valdez fic but based on espresso by sabrina carpenter (idk i feel like that song gives children of apollo vibes!) it'd be leo obsessed with the apollo girl (like him being absolutely obsessed with her, having the biggest crush on her possible, he constantly thinks about her, him being an absolute loser bf) and finally getting the courage to ask her out on a date or something like that.

“she’s like a shot of espresso…”

Leo was sure he was going crazy.

He always had a pretty big amount of silly crushes on girls, but with you? It was getting way too serious. Of course, you're beautiful, incredibly kind, and too generous for your own good, and you treated him well, but that isn't enough reason to make him lose sleep; at least that's what he thought.

And he was extremely wrong. Being in your presence was the equivalent of being bathed in the sunlight, and gods, he felt like a prisoner who hadn't seen the sun in years.

He's completely obsessed with you; he just needs the courage to verbalize that, but being honest, Leo felt like a coward at the moment.

While being lost in his thoughts (the thoughts being the pretty daughter of Apollo that never leaves his mind), the boy finally falls asleep.

Leo doesn't mind waking up if that means spending the day with the people he loves, so after getting ready for the day, he searches for you.

And he found you, talking with a much younger camper, helping him. You're smiling like it's the best day of your life, and Leo could swear that you're almost glowing.

The boy makes its way to you the same moment you finish talking to the kid, now having your full attention on Hephaestus' son.

"Leo! Good morning!" Your voice to him had the same effect as listening to his favorite music, it made him happy in ways he couldn't explain, even if his life depended on it. 

"Yn! Good morning!" He mimics you, not in a bad way, just a teasing one. You roll your eyes in fake annoyance.

"Sooo, did you sleep well, Valdez?" You ask, seeming really interested in the answer, but he knows that you're like that for everything, being extremely kind.

"Not really, would be better if I dreamed about you," you laugh amusingly.

"You say that every day, y'know?"

"I know, I say because it's true. " You can't help but blush a little. You're used to Leo flirting with you, but it never gets past that, so you just learned to joke back.

"Hilarious, Valdez... fortunately, I slept very well today, and I'm more excited than normal! I think it's because it's so sunny today, that's awesome, was thinking about going to the lake later. I can't waste such a pretty day like this one painting inside my cabin..."

"Unfortunately, I'll be in the bunker today, I have lots of things to do."

"What? No! You're coming with me, you can't waste this wonderful day either!" You grab his hands, walking toward the lake.

Leo could swear he would pass out at that moment. He couldn't even think about denying your offer, he would prefer dying to doing that.

After a few seconds, you guys get to the lake.

"Look how pretty it is! You have to go swimming with me, it’s a need.”

"Look, sunshine, water and fire don't get along so well, so I might skip that one" he says, apologetic. You frown, thinking.

"We don't need to go swimming, we can just talk, i really don't care." You smile lovingly at him.

"I don't want to ruin your day! There are many people that can go with you, you'll find someone better to do that." He's so oblivious that it's getting concerning.

"I want to spend time with you, Valdez. I don't mind if it's swimming or just talking, I want to, you know..be with you."

"Oh." He's acting like a loser, he can't think straight anymore and is blushing like crazy, but who cares?

"Oh?" You tease him, smiling.

"Yeah, we can. Just talk, I'm happy with that. " His smile was so genuine that made your heart melt.

That's when you realize you're still holding his hand, and you don't want to change that. You can feel he notices too.

Something just snapped in his head, now it’s the time, now or never, right?

"Yn? Can I tell you something?" He says it in a quiet tone, and you just nod.

"When I'm around you, it's like constantly drinking a shot of espresso, it's like being bathed in sunlight, you're incredibly energetic and enthusiastic, and i just can't get enough of you, you're my sunrise and daylight....all I'm saying is, gods, I very much love you more than just friends" You're surprised, really surprised, so surprised that you can't even speak for a moment, which just makes Leo even more nervous.

"Please say something...like, anything, a no it's better than silence because it’s less-“ Before he yaps again, you interrupt him:

"I like you too." The boy almost squeals of pure excitement.

"Seriously? Oh gods, oh gods. What?" He's so happy, it's so sincere, so soft, it's amazing, you can feel your heart beating so fast, and you don't even care; seeing him like this because of you is the best feeling you ever felt.

Then you see that one look, meant just for you, it's like time has frozen, and you're both thinking the same thing. Then, like all the stars aligned, you kissed him
