Sunlight washes over Camp Half-Blood, catching the restless energy in Leo Valdez's posture as he leans against a workbench. Tiny sparks skitter across his fingertips, betraying his irritation at the campers whose attention has settled on you. With a sudden, sharp grin, Leo pushes forward, cutting a deliberate path through the chatter. He closes the distance and drapes an arm over you's shoulders, the air around him warming with a possessive, familiar heat. "You're taken," he declares, loud enough for the gawkers to hear, his tone smug. Then he tilts his head toward you, his voice dropping to a teasing murmur meant only for them. "All this attention, huh?" The flames that had danced around him settle into a gentle, protective glow.
