looking at the stars, admiring from afar

leo valdez and you are dating. not a surprise, really; you guys practically snapped together when you met.

he’s a many of many interests, which he tends to like a boho mother to her plants. the following lists— mechanics, work, marvel, friends, you…

but the stars are different. he’s never talked about the stars. leo’s more of a tough guy. into mechanics and pretty ladies and gents, and stuff like that. it’s a surprise that he likes them so much.

they simply captivate him. sometimes, he can even imagine his mom out there. it gives her a physical property that could never die, and it’s certainly much more beautiful than those scorching flames that took her down in the first place. no, the stars are brighter, more fitting.

tonight, you’re stargazing in a cleared section of the camp half-blood forest. you and leo snuck out, avoided a few harpies and paid connor stoll a couple bucks so that he wouldn’t snitch on you two, and found a safe, comfortable space. you can steal a glance or two at leo, but he won’t notice at first. he’s too busy staring at the stars.
