That... is what they're fighting about? The fact that Leo raised his hand and Elliot is jealous of... What? Not having someone to like? Though a more likely scenario does cross Leo's mind: They're best friends and they're sixteen. They're probably supposed to talk about cute girls... Disgusting. Never happening. There's no way that Elliot was stupid enough to expect Leo to be girl crazy. He's book crazy. But he can understand how secret keeping of any kind might anger Elliot.
It's also a twisted type of amusing. Leo can see the irony in how Elliot is worked up about not being told, when the act of telling him will damage their happiness forever. The cherry on top of this is how Elliot looks at him and how Leo can't stop staring into his eyes. He's caught somewhere between wanting to throw a recycling bin and throw Elliot for making him feel like this.
That game was so stupid for causing such a stupid fight.]
Do you know how miserable it is to like someone?
They're dense as lead and... [Leo's voice trails off, considering his options. There's no going back on having a crush now. Confessing in this moment would be pretty embarrassing too. What? They'll go back to the circle awkwardly and everyone will pity Leo for getting rejected twice in one night? No. He'll die of heartbreak on his own, thanks.
But Elliot is his equal. Maybe he has advice. Or maybe he'll catch on and put Leo out of his misery. Leo isn't sure what he wants when he opens his mouth again:]
... I can't do anything about it anyway. They didn't raise their hand.
