In Every Universe, I Choose You [Random x Reader oneshots]

The typa guy to... [Leo Valdez]

Requested ‼️ so many character requests so so much time to do it bc it's summer break let's GOOOOO
Also I'm Puerto Rican, so the nicknames and sayings are things I actively hear and or use so 😭

Leo Valdez is the kind of guy to...

- Openly flirt with you everywhere. Any time, any place. Even at the most inappropriate times. Like... such bad timing...

"Leo, you literally burned him when you touched him-"
"I burn when I touch you cuz you're so hot babe."
"..."
"..."
"Leo-"
"Bad timing bad timing I know-"

- Find the stupidest looking things and says "us for real mami." And it's just two branches twisted together😭

- Won't touch you because he's absolutely terrified of hurting you. He can't control his powers too well and he's scared of hurting you and pushing you away.

- His favorite love language to give is acts of service. He loves doing things for you, or making things for you. If he knows you're really stressed and your bunk is getting a little bit too messy, he tidies up your space. You forgot to eat? No worries, he brought you a plate with all your favorites.

- Raccoon vibes. Sees a shiny thing and HAS to bring it to you.

- Has made you one of those welded flowers. You keep it on your nightstand.

- Speaking of things he does for you, I headcanon he wears steel toe boots because he works in the forge all day basically, so he lets you, under his supervision, brand your initials onto them.

- He shows everyone.

- Touch starved is an understatement. However, he prefers when you give him words of affirmation. If he can't bring himself to touch you out of fear, then you just make up for it with loving words until he's comfortable and ready.

- When he is, he never lets go of you. You will never sleep alone again. You will never need a heater during the winter months because Leo runs extremely hot. He's an actual human furnace. Like... literally.

- When other people flirt with you he's like "mhm I know, she's bad as hell isn't she? Yeah I'm so glad she's MY GIRLFRIEND." He's not even jealous because he's like... you're literally so beautiful I know you're gonna turn heads, I don't care because you'll never find anyone better than this guy.

- Gives you a ring he made with your favorite metal and gems.

- Also big into giving you things, like mentioned before. However, Leo is an intentional gift giver who spends hours trying to come up with the perfect thing for you.

- Loves it when you put on his goggles because you look so cute.

- You always wonder why he spends hours doing one task that would have taken other campers maybe 30 minutes to an hour. He responds with "El bago hace doble el trabajo." The lazy person does double the work. When he does something, he does it right the first time even if it takes him hours.

- Sassy man apocalypse. Chismoso powers. You want the gossip on anything in camp? Somehow Leo knows and he's not like other guys who say 'I dunno I didn't ask', he comes out with the full story.
"Well then he's sleeping with her best friend, however the best friend claims she didn't know they were together, but Ali insists that she did. Now that she may have said something I don't know, Pero eso son otros 20." (But that's another 20. It's an expression used like... well that may have happened but that's a whole different story)

- Man is always dirty from working all the time. However, he never ever smells... bad. He always smells like smoke and cinnamon, and you will NEVER catch him being dirty or underdressed when he goes anywhere with you.

- Leo is scared that he will hurt you. He's even more scared that his fear will make him push you away and that you'll leave because of it.

- Leo always calls you the silliest nicknames. From serious ones like: mi vida, mi cielo, mi amor, mami, babe, sweetheart, love etc.... To the funny ones that he says to make you laugh: babygurl(said while biting his lip and making a chad face) honeybun, apple of my eye(he thinks it's hilarious)

- Started calling you his girlfriend since before you were dating

- "if we get married do you... Excuse me, WHEN we get married, will you be taking my last name or keeping yours? Or do you wanna hyphenate it? Ooh maybe I could take yours! Y/N Valdez does have a nice ring to it... but so does Y/N L/N-Valdez... has a nicer ring than Leo L/N..."

- Calls you his wife. No one bats an eye. Especially not at camp when it's uncertain who will make it that far as many Demi gods don't make it long enough to marry their loves.
"Everyone shut up my wife is talking."
"Nah, my wife is the brains of this."

- Called you crazy and called you woman in the same sentence. Never again.

"Are you crazy woman?!? Estás loca pal carajo!"
"...Leónidas Valdez."

He almost dies in that moment, especially if you yourself are Hispanic because... uh oh.

- Overall, he's just a lover boy and wants to make everyone aware of how much he loves you and how awesome you are and-
