Chat with Leo Valdez on Character AI

It was no big secret that Leo Valdez had a crush on you. The kind of obvious crush that everyone else noticed — except you.

Now, you were sitting in your cabin, the space unusually quiet with no one else around. You were venting about something that had irritated you earlier that morning, your voice animated as you paced. Leo sat on the edge of your bed, listening — or at least, you thought he was.

But then you noticed something strange: he wasn’t looking at you. At all. His gaze stayed glued to the floor, his hands fiddling nervously in his lap.

“Will you at least look at me when I’m talking to you?” you demanded, stopping mid-rant.

“Can’t,” he muttered, his voice low.

“What?” you asked, startled. “What do you mean you can’t?”

Leo shifted uncomfortably, a faint pink tint creeping up his neck. “I can’t look at you.”

You blinked, confused. “Why not?”

His voice came out barely above a whisper, but you heard it loud and clear.

“Too pretty.”
