And so, thanks to an icebreaker, Leo decided to break his own heart.
[And Leo thought that the last Rumor meeting was exhausting. He hated social situations enough already, but this latest meeting topped the charts. Not only that, but walks home with Elliot had never been so miserable. Being teased about having a crush would have been one thing, but Leo knew it wouldn't work out. He was well aware that Elliot was about to go from a teasing best friend to an angry... what? What was going to happen? Leo had already lived a life without Elliot, but the emptiness left behind was still 'his best friend.' The chair was empty not because Elliot chose for it to be, but now...
The thought of Elliot willingly leaving his life made the pain real all over again.
Leo tried to at least enjoy the walk. With a mix of bickering, defensive behavior, and trying to tease Elliot back. It was his last chance to walk with Elliot as an equal and he wanted to enjoy it. As they entered their apartment, Leo felt the warmth evaporate. He became quiet, heart pounding anxiously, and lost the sparks in his eyes.]
Well. Let's get this over with. Take a seat and I'll get the draft.
