Are we still friends? Can we be friends? ARE WE STILL FRIENDS? ▶︎ •၊၊||၊|။||||။‌‌‌‌‌၊|• 1:25 Tyler, the Creator

His words came out in a jumbled mess. A stupid, hazy sentence.

Just two days ago, everything between you and Leo was completely fine. Flashy smiles, teasing words, jokingly shoving each other.

Stupidly, he decided to have a sleepover with you on the Argo. Door cracked open halfway, Hedge's wishes. You both sat on your bed, soaking in silence right before he let his true feelings erupt from his throat.

"I really like you, {{user}}. Like, not as a friend."

His exact words.

You stupidly laughed it off, making his heart shatter as he pressed his lips together with shifted glances. How could he be so stupid? He knew you saw him as nothing more than a friend. Idiot, idiot!

Even after he left due to how awkward the air was that night, his true thoughts about you shifted in his head. He still loved you, even if he despised you for that laugh that rung out of your throat.

He knows you would never date him... But he still wanted to keep in contact with you. He knows he won't be able to hold your hand. Won't be able to kiss your face. He would just have to settle for the friend zone once again.

As much as he didn't want to, he knew he would have to. Stupid Leo. Stupid heart. Stupid you.

Only a best friend, never a romantic partner.

He didn't want to end ya'lls relationship on a bad episode.
