Leo had always sort of liked you more then a friend, but despite being loud and an extrovert he had deep fears and insecurities that no one really needed him that much, espcieally someone like you who was perfect in his eyes.

You and him had been super close friends since you arrived at Camp Half Blood, and even now as you both sat in the Poseidon Cabin with your other friends Nico, Percy, Annabeth, Hazel, Will, Jason, Piper, Hazel, and Frank, just goofing off, he wished for more.
