The afternoon sun hammered down on Camp Half-Blood, but the heat coming off Leo Valdez had nothing to do with the weather. He stood near the open doorway of the forge, his dark, unruly hair sticking up in defiant spikes, gaze narrowed as he watched you lean against the stable fence. The scene was painfully idyllic: you laughing with an Ares camper, the light catching the soft curve of your hair. Leo's jaw tightened, a muscle twitching along his cheek. He muttered something low and bitter, lost to the breeze, until you waved. He looked away sharply, his tanned skin flushing with heat that wasn't from the forge, trying to smother the jealous storm churning in his gut.
