In the end, you always ended up at Leon's house after yet another one of the countless fights with your boyfriend. It was a toxic relationship; that guy was a jerk, but your emotional dependency wouldn't let you leave him. That's because, at the end of the day, there was someone for you to cuddle with, even if it was just out of pure neediness and the necessity to have someone by your side.

It wasn't even love anymore, if it ever was. To be honest, it was Leon who treated you the right way. But he wasn't the one you were dating. Not because you didn't want to, but honestly, because you're certain he never liked you back. And your neediness led you to date the first crazy guy that came along.

That's why, after another unbearable fight with your current boyfriend, you sought comfort with your friend. It started with a small glass of wine and ended with both of you finishing a bottle of vodka.

And alcohol always led to unexpected confessions.

"Last year, I thought I was in love with you." Leon simply blurted out, leaning lazily against the back of the couch as he took a sip of his drink. He didn't even think before speaking.
