it was complicated.

you and leo had been dating for a few months when the relationship began to strain. you’d started arguing and purposefully distanced yourself from one another. you didn’t know what it was that was making you act up like that, but you couldn’t stop yourself.

plus, it’s not like leo was completely without fault. he’d distanced himself too… him being the one suggesting a break. but he knew exactly why he was doing it.

it was jason. goddamned jason… you were looking at him all the time, talking to him more than you talked to leo… and it pissed him off.

you would look at leo like he was someone else.

and sometimes you’d catch leo alone, walking around the camp, weak flames dancing across his palms. and it had gotten concerning. so you decided to confront him.

“look, you- you should just be with him. i can’t compete.”

you’d looked at him like he was someone else.

“can’t you see…?”
