Chapter Text

  • if you have a wheelchair, he totally decks that thing out.
  • like. free of charge too
  • cool wheels, decorations, spiky handles so people don’t just randomly start pushing you
  • i feel like gift giving is one of his love languages so he steals the chair for a bit and does all these cool things and is like
  • “yeah I just did a few things no biggie”
  • and is totally waiting for your reaction
  • can usually tell when you’re in a bit too much pain or getting too exhausted
  • makes up some stupid excuse to get you to go sit down
  • when i tell you this man did RESEARCH.
  • when he first got a crush on you and you told him you had EDS he had NOOOO fuckin idea what that was
  • instant rush to the Apollo cabin
  • ”hey what’s EDS”
  • ”wait why”
  • ”no reason haha. so uh what is it”
  • DEFFF made you custom finger splints. made them cool too.
  • sometimes gets a little too excited about something and forgets about your pain and stuff and can end up pushing you overboard and trigger something
  • he feels SOOOO bad afterwards
  • little puppy mode
  • tries to cheer you up during flare ups
  • even if he’s pissing you off and you just wanna be left alone
  • “are you mad at me”
  • ”no”
  • ”are you sure”
  • ”dude go away”
  • ”but are you like 100% sure”
  • probably has like a drawer full of stuff for you
  • snacks, braces, ice packs, painkillers, band-aids ,(he only buys the Spider-Man ones prove me wrong) electrolytes, k-tape, you name it.
  • ”hey Leo do you have-“
  • that drawer FLIES open
  • tell me he doesn’t give you a little kiss on the head when you’re all tucked in during a flare.
  • tries his best to give you the most autonomy possible
  • sometimes

  • BRIDAL CARRY.
  • he’s a skinny little bitch but he is DETERMINED
  • even if you’re plus-sized (ESPECIALLY then) because he wants you to be comfortable and loved
  • cannot for the LIFE OF HIM figure out what’s ableist
  • he just looks at you and if you’re upset then he’s like
  • ”hey man that wasn’t really nice >:(“
  • if you’re heat intolerant (like me) then he tries SO HARD to keep you at a good temp. he gets so sad when he can’t cuddle tho bc you’re too hot
  • “sigh…that’s what she said…”
  • he actually says the word sigh prove me wrong
  • he’s a giant loser
  • if you’re too tired to self-propel he’s 100% gotchu
  • y’know when you have a shopping cart and you push it a little and walk to catch up with it
  • he did that once and you were NOT pleased
  • also tokyo drifted you once but it was funny
  • back on the topic of temperature intolerance….
  • if you’re cold intolerant (..like me..) then he’s GOTCHU.

  • also uses it as an excuse to just hug u
  • ”wdym I’m warming you up..duh”
  • dawg u ain’t slick
  • also (tries to) do your hair when you’re too tired
  • but he’s kinda bootycheeks at it
  • anytime you go on a quest, he’s there
  • ”just making sure you’ll be ok!!”
  • suuuuuuureee
  • whenever he falls asleep in the forge (has happened SEVERAL times)
  • you just walk/roll in and are like “YO”
  • ”WAKE UP”
  • ”YOU SAID YOU’D COME TO BED AN HOUR AGO”
  • or something like that
  • and he’s like “oh shit”
  • I feel like he’d do this stupid thing I do
  • where whenever I mess up I do that Peabody and Sherman thing where Mr Peabody hypnotizes someone
  • he’d do that little hand movement
  • because he’s a LOSER
  • man gives his shirts away to you like candy

  • even though I feel like he’d be afraid of needles
  • he tries
  • if you’re like. in tears level pain he makes stupid jokes while panicking to try to ease the tension
  • but he’s also hardcore freaking out because his partner is in pain and there’s no visible wound he can heal
  • one time tried giving you ambrosia and nectar during a flare up to see if it would work
  • essentially did the same as popping some extra-strength tylenol
