Dating Leo Valdez

~ This ball of energy would probably be extremely excited to try out new things with you at the beginning of the relationship— couple shirts, couple rings, couple keychains, couple socks, couple shoes…. and going on dates, of course! He’s overwhelmed with ideas, hopes and dreams for the future of your relationship to the point that he suggests too many things at one go.

~ Definitely will wear couple shirts to at least one date!

~ Arcade dates where he secretly tweaks the crane grabber machine while you try to distract the staff from catching him. The two of you almost walk away with a great haul, until leo kept grabbing more and more plushies and it got suspicious.

~ His gifts are the most innovative and creative— there’s always ideas popping up in his head. He’s always eager to start tinkering gifts for you, and you may have to set aside a large cabinet to display all the amazing things that he has given you.

~ Out of everything, the best thing he has given you is the hand made necklace carved from a stone he found on the floor during your first date. It may not be anything flashy, but Leo poured his heart and soul into making it.

~ Flirts with you openly. Leo takes any opportunities he can grasp to flirt with you. It’s not that he wants to openly flaunt your relationship, he just can’t help it. He loves seeing you flustered, and loves reminding you that he loves you during every possible moment.

~ However, if you catch him off guard and flirt with him, he’ll be speechless. Leo’s ears will turn bright pink at the tips as he stares at you with his mouth hanging open. It takes him awhile to get over that sudden attack on his heart.

~ He would probably need some encouragement and reassurance in this relationship. He can’t believe that he’s in a relationship— with you! Leo will get a little self conscious and might even distance himself from you, so it’s your job to make sure he knows he’s amazing.

~ Has a special smile reserved just for you. It’s not like his usual impish grin, nor is it the smile that he gets when he hears a funny joke. It’s special— warm, and genuine.

~ Leo will probably give you a plaque that says ‘Leo Fanclub President’ on your birthday, probably.

~ Used to text you a lot, but he found texting too inconvenient, so he created a voice message transmitter for the both of you. That way, he can talk to you almost immediately and hear your voice.

~ As much as he’s eager to do all sorts of stuff with you, he probably takes at least one or two months to muster up the courage to kiss you. Leo had almost exhausted all his energy trying to grab your hand, so give this poor guy a break!

~ Remembers everything : your birthday, anniversary, your mother’s birthday, your cat’s birthday, the day when the both of you first kissed. There’s no way that he can forget any of that.

~ Leo will probably be the one to laze in bed whenever the alarm rings. There’s a high chance that you’ll have to drag him out of bed.

~ Probably asks if he can hold your hand ( save me omg my heart )

~ Leo is always out there to put a smile on your face. There’s never a day where you aren’t smiling without him. He never fails to make you double over laughing.

~ When you got into a relationship Leo tried to make himself more open and share his feelings with you, but he has spent so many years of his life masking majority of the pain that he struggles to put his feelings into sentences. some things are just too painful to talk about.
