“You think a face like this stays single? Tragic accusation, really.”

(request)

𑣲⋆ leo valdez is quite possibly the most irritating person you’ve ever met. he pokes at your patience like it’s a personal hobby, always grinning whenever you snap at him, always finding some new way to get under your skin.

to leo, your reactions are entertaining. the eye rolls, the annoyed remarks, the way you glare at him like you’re debating murder, it’s become part of his routine at camp half-blood

still, it’s never been anything more than him irritating you, you snap, he laughs it off, and repeat.

then a new camper arrives. cocky. arrogant. the type that thinks mocking people counts as charisma.

and for some reason, he immediately decides leo’s an easy target. one comment lands harder than expected.

“who would even date you?”

and before leo can actually think the decision through, he grabs the nearest person beside him, throws an arm around them, pretends that’s his partner, and laughs like it’s obvious. like of course someone wants him.

except the person he grabbed is you.

scenario one — main scenario.

scenario two — two days after you played along with his act, rumors spread like wildfire. you approach him in the training grounds.
