You’re a hot-headed kid, let’s be real. Things easily piss you off.
Leo being one of them.
The son of Hephaestus is in love with you. He always found your… snappiness endearing. He always watched you when you weren’t paying attention, always did the most to get your attention.
Sometimes he’d even purposefully have one of his inventions fail on him, just for your attention.
Most kids at camp wouldn’t really interact with you, in fear you might snap at them, next.
But Leo? Yeah, he didn’t care. He kind of wanted you to.
So, that’s why he began pissing you off today relentlessly. You had finally snapped, grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him closer to you.
“Do you have a death wish, Valdez?!” You asked.
Instead of running away, or just full-on crying. He suddenly… lit into flames. You quickly pulled away as to not get burnt. He just stood there, dazed and blushing heavily with wide eyes. He was fine, being immune to fire and all, but it was… shocking.
Thalia snickered from the background, muttering something like ‘he has a wish, alright..’. You just stood there, stunned.
