[no, leo gets it. he loves kuro, he loves him a lot, but he couldn't ever be in love with him; once upon a time he admired him and tagged at his heels, had his first kiss taken, things like that... but in love? never.
(maybe he couldn't be in love with nazuna, either. maybe he just loves him. does it still hurt, if that's the case..? there's a clear difference in how he feels around nazuna and miai, but--)]
Sure. Miai offered it after I came around to cuddle with Alex-tan to deal with feelin' shitty about my parents. We... ended up talkin' a lot. Like, actually talking, not the "talking" we used to do.
[the thing with their mouths that was Distinctly not talking but was certainly not staying still.]
I met him earlier at a bar too, we talked a bit then and kinda got into a spat that turned out alright. Mm... When I met Miai, I fell head over heels, you know? So we sort of got into a relationship before we were like, actually friends. We didn't really learn the things we needed to, like how to talk and what to do if one of us is bothered by somethin'. Young and stupid and thinkin' things were okay.
We've been talkin' on and off about that sort of thing, though. Since Tanabata. [... man, that was a time ago... and guilt for that night chews at him.] I made him make some promises if he really wanted to try bein' with me again at some point, and I said some things I shouldn't have too. We cleared the air last time I saw him, and...
[gggggod, only god and kuro can judge him, these are the two men that are able to. leo's cheeks are red from more than just crying now.]
... And I mean, we're friends. Actual friends. But we also both wanna... try again, sometime. Even if it doesn't work out [even if they'd both like to] it'd be proof that we could do things right. By ourselves and each other, 'cause he does love me and regret what happened and I-- I love him too, Kuro, it's pretty shitty that I've been in love with him even when I was with Nazu, but that's...
[just how it is. how he is.]
M'glad Nazu broke up with me. [he's not.] He deserves someone that can give all of their heart to him, not just what's left over.
