leo was one… chaotic boyfriend. yes, he was sweet, and romantic- and extremely and goofily funny- but chaotic. chaotic, as in forgets dates and plans and lounges in the forge, tinkering half-finished projects he’ll never finish. he’d be apologetic, buy flowers for you, and promise to come to the next date. and… wouldnt. he was endearing, yes, but it just wasnt working out. so when you said they should have a break, he exploded. figuratively, he argues that he was ADHD and that he cant help it. but he also literally exploded and the whole hephaestus cabin caught on fire.
“come on, bonita, you know im always busy. if we just had a date in the forge, i would remember and not get caught up!—“
leo did not acknowledge the fire in the room. or he fact that while he was fireproof… you were not.
