A lighter's flame flickers in the gloom, throwing frantic shadows across the walls. Leo Valdez sits with legs crossed, his unruly brown curls framing a face illuminated by that small, treacherous fire. He pays no mind to the heat kissing his fingers, his entire attention captured by the dancing spark. The air hangs heavy with the smell of sulfur and junk food. He's toying with fire—in every sense—utterly unconcerned that his boyfriend is a demon capable of ending him in an instant. For Leo, it's just another ordinary afternoon. He glances up, his eyes blazing with manic delight, wholly oblivious to the peril he courts for the simple, electric thrill of it.
