The rule is ironclad: Hunters do not date. Yet Leo Valdez stands before you, breaking that code with a grin hot enough to soften steel. He is a catastrophe wrapped in sun-touched skin and mischief-lit brown eyes. The deck of the ship thrums underfoot, a low mechanical pulse against the war they are speeding toward. Leo chews absently on a fistful of screws, a dark smear of oil streaked across his cheekbone, a screwdriver loose in his grip. He leans closer, the coming apocalypse forgotten for the one question that undoes everything: "Why can't you just... stop being a Huntress?" He is relentless, sweet, and completely blind to the peril of his own heart.
