[Elliot blurts out before thinking. Of course he's jealous. He would have been jealous regardless of his fate, but if he could have been around when Leo eventually got married, supported him as his best friend...it would have been tolerable. He would have had a place in Leo's life. But instead Leo's looking at him as if he's to blame, and Elliot scoffs at his friends whining.]
Can't imagine the suffering you must be going through. [Sarcasm drips from his voice, part of him hoping Leo can read between the lines...but he's an idiot, a stupid, overprotective idiot, and he probably thought he was helping Elliot by hiding the truth because that's exactly the sort of stupid thing he'd--]
Their-- their hand?
[Elliot repeats the words flatly, but some of his anger wanes. He's still jealous, but if they're here then Leo hadn't really lied to him. He had moved on, but it was different. Manageable. Elliot still has a place in his life.]
You're not just insufferable. You're an idiot.
[He sighs, placing both hands on Leo's slighter shoulders and scowling at him.]
I don't know a lot about romance, but I won't allow my best friend to sabotage this. Who was the person you like? I'll help you...talk to them, or whatever it is people do.
