it was august 1st, thunder booming outside. you sat inside your cabin, listening to the patter of rain against your window and the claps of sudden thunder. everything inside seemed particularly calm, compared to the chaos outside. you wonder what could have angered zeus today. maybe hera trying to argue with him. maybe apollo. who knows? gods can be complicated, even after living for multiple millennia.

your boyfriend, leo, had been acting more secretive lately, not spending time with you, almost as if he was hiding something. he had been spending more time in the forge, and had been more social. by social, he’s been talking to more girls, and avoiding you.

you hoped it would end soon, plus it had only been going on for a few days. it wasn’t like he was completely ignoring you.

your thoughts are abruptly put on a halt as a knock echoes from your cabin door. you get up and walk towards the door, your hand twisting the knob and pulling the door open.

there, leo stands, in all his wet glory. he’s wearing a white button-up shirt (which he very obviously tried to clean up, and failed to clearly as well, as there was a lot of grime and burn marks on it)

he had on a pair of dark blue denim jeans, held up by his tool belt. he swayed slightly on his feet, as if he was slightly nervous. with his movements, the keys on his belt jangled. his black, curly hair was all wet and messy.

“hey, ma! happy national girlfriends day! i got this flower bouquet and the demeter kids did it in flower language for me, so it says, ‘i love you, {{user}},’ and the note card in the bouquet says ‘i love you’ in morse code! and i made you this thing, it’s like a monster-free phone! and i got you other stuff too!”

leo exclaimed, practically booming with pride as loud at the thunder was. you stood there for a second, a bit stunned. it all kind of came rushing towards you at once.

“okay, princesa, let me in, it’s absolutely freezing out here,” leo said, shouldering you gently out of the way.
