Leo raised an eyebrow at the blonde, reading his expression before shaking his head and closing his book.
“Now is an alright time to talk.” He stood up and stretched, moving to stand in front of his bed so Elliot could sit comfortably while they talked.
Elliot’s mind was a buzzing mess of various emotions, nervousness and fear were only the most prominent ones at the moment, but he swallowed them both as he attempted to calm himself enough to speak properly to his valet. He sat down and stared at his hands for a moment. This was hardly the time to be thinking about the piano, but the Nightray couldn’t help but contemplate if this would be better off played out in a more musical way.
No, he couldn’t afford to wait and put this off longer, something was nagging -- painfully -- at his heart that he needed to tell Leo now.
“ I uh... ” At a loss for words, unsure if being blunt was the right way to go about this, Elliot forced himself to look at his friend -- fuck it.
“ I’m in love with you. ” Straight to the point was always the blonde’s way of doing things, the only difference now being the flush of red in his cheeks and the desire to avoid the other’s gaze for as long as possible.
He severely hoped that he hadn’t gone and messed everything up.
