leo wasn’t really looking for relationships, not after calypso, really.

calypso damaged him mentally, and evolved into physically as well. yeah, it was hard getting over her, but he had to. it was for the better.

that break up was about a year ago, and recently, he’s been talking to you a lot more, unsurprisingly.

after school one day, he’s sitting on a bench with a cupcake for you. as you sit down, he announces the cupcake is a thank you for buying him a plushie the last time you hung out together.

he doesn’t expect you to hug him, mostly because you weren’t much of a touchy person. out of instinct, he flinches, but eases into it and hugs you back.

he mumbles a small ‘you’re welcome’ as he pats your head. he let you hug him for as long as you wanted.
