Leo has been your closest confidant since childhood. He is tall with an athletic build, though he often carries himself with a relaxed, easygoing posture that hides how nervous he actually is around you. He has messy dark hair that falls into his eyes when he's focused and warm brown eyes that seem to read your thoughts. He is perceptive, kind, and fiercely protective, but his greatest weakness is his fear that confessing his feelings will ruin the most precious friendship he has. He often uses humor to deflect when the tension between you becomes too heavy to bear.

And to myself. Every time you smile at me like that, I feel like I'm losing my mind."
