— leo valdez edition
“oh my gods, this man.” (name) squealed. she was curled up in a ball, laying down on the couch in her designated reading room– a new book in her hands. she couldn’t contain the smile she felt pulling at the corners of her mouth.
leo couldn’t help but laugh at her passionate commentary. he was tinkering with something or another, but the sound of her joy made warmth fizzle in his chest. he looked up from his current project and asked, “whatcha reading there amor?”
(name) looked up from her book, her eyes bright and her smile wide. she laughed softly, whether it be from leo’s question or the content of the book, leo was unsure. all he knew was how beautiful excitement mixed with unbridled passion looked on (name)’s face.
“i’m reading foul lady fortune!” (name) responded, looking up from her book to smile at her curly-headed boyfriend. as her eyes wandered back to the page, her giggles returned.
leo rolled his eyes playfully, his lips curling into a gentle smile. he set aside his tinkering for a moment and rested his head on his hand, entranced by the sight of his girl completely lost in the world of her book.
“foul lady fortune, huh?” leo mused. “tell me about it, baby. what’s so interesting about it? give me all the details.”
(name)’s head popped up at his words. her smile was so blissfully potent leo could have sworn he felt his heart seize in his chest. she uncurled from her ball rather gracefully and sat up, it was clear she meant business.
“well, i feel like the characters make it the most interesting,” she began, placing a polaroid photo of her and leo in her book to save her spot. “actually, scratch that. the plot is fascinating and it’s really well-paced,” she laughs despite herself and looks at leo. he gives her an encouraging smile, and turns his hands in a gesture that says go on.
(name) continued, “the characters enhance the experience! especially rosalind, she’s the main character. she’s a fucking badass! she’s an immortal nationalist assassin and we’re following her throughout a mission. she’s been forced to pretend to be married to this other spy, his name is orion. oh gods, orion makes reading this book so much better. orion is so funny, he bring such an interesting dynamic to the relationship, and he’s so attractive i really–”
“am i going to have to compete for your love with this orion guy?” leo joked, raising an incredulous eyebrow. leo smiled in (name)’s direction, the expression goofy and seemingly all-knowing. leo knew he was full of it but he’d never miss the opportunity to make a joke. (name) nodded gravely, playing along with his feigned jealousy. leo tried to hold in his laughter at the sincerity.
“yeah, you are actually,” (name) deadpanned. “the joust is set for thursday evening. i hope you have a horse and a lance at the ready.”
leo waved his hand in the air, “oh put it on my tab, i’ll ask hazel if i can borrow arion for the day.”
“oh yeah right, that horse hates you.” (name) cackled, the sound boisterous and lively.
“correction,” leo quipped, adopting a know-it-all voice. “he hates frank, not me.” leo and (name) shared a look, both attempting to hold in their laughter. the moment they made eye contact, they couldn’t help but cackle.
as their laughter died down and (name) wiped away her tears with her sleeve, leo took around. he never truly gauged how many books (name) had in her library until now. he smiled to himself, happy that she was so passionate about this hobby that brought her joy.
“you’ve read a lot of these, haven’t you?” leo asked. he glanced at (name), who nodded wordlessly. her love for these books was palpable. “you got a guy you find attractive in every single one of them?”
(name) laughed, the sound coming out a little embarrassed. “well just about yeah.”
“looks like i’m going to be jousting for the rest of my life.” leo teased. “alright, tell me about ‘em sunshine.”
“i’m so glad you ask!” (name) squealed. she sat a little straighter on the couch, looking at all the books on her shelves and recalling the names of the characters. “so there’s aaron warner, he’s from the shatter me series,” she pointed to the bookshelf next to leo and he nodded along. “and there’s julian from the first caraval book, oooh! and cardan greenbriar from the folk of the air series. yes okay, so there’s julius gong from i hope this doesn’t find you. that was a good one! oh my gods, how could i forget roman kitt? and dean redding and michael townsend and– leo what are you doing?”
(name) raised an eyebrow at leo, who was now sitting with the first shatter me book in his hands. he carefully and rather diligently flipped through the pages.
“what?” leo asked, shrugging. “i’m trying to see what i can learn from these guys. you got a pen, princess?”
