Oh my gods, Leo was back! Leo was back!

You already imagined what you guys could do together. You’d go on dates, watch movies, you’d watch him wield, it would be perfect.

And while maybe that only lasted maybe two weeks before you started to…notice… things. He often spent time alone, he often zoned out, and you noticed him preparing to go somewhere often although he’d never tell you.

Maybe he was just scarred. Scarred from having to be prepared ALL the time. Scarred from the restless nights, scarred from the lost of others that he’d thought he’d never loose.

But that all changed. It was raining and Leo held your hand on his bed in his quiet room, his hands were unusually cold. Maybe that should’ve been your first sign.

“You… {{user}} you know I love you right? And-” he stopped when he looked into your eyes that were wide with hope.

Maybe you should’ve never had your hopes up.

“what?” your voice rang out cold, his gaze colder.

“Look- I’m sorry but I can’t… I can’t leave her there! It won’t be safe and I can’t sleep at night knowing-” he shut up as the realization came to your eyes. you were the after thought. He had never been worried about you. Worried about how him being gone affected you.

No, he was worried about how Calypso would be without him. But you couldn’t tell him the countless nights you stayed up when even the stars started to rest. You couldn’t because it wouldn’t change anything. Why does he care about her more? Aren’t you his lover? His partner??

“It’ll only be a few weeks- 2 months at most.” Two months? Two months more of that empty feeling in your stomach? Two months more of anxiety? All of that just to be… be a thought?
