Work Text:
Jason was his best friend and the greatest boyfriend Leo could ever have. Sometimes Leo prided himself on being able to call Jason his, and savored the fact that Jason actually liked him, un-glorified and not as valiant, Leo. Despite Jason’s heroic status that made Leo feel inadequate and lame sometimes, Jason was just so real and human it would hurt not to love him.
But since Jason was so golden, Leo felt there was a high chance of Jason leaving him because Leo couldn’t compare. He knew that’s what the others thought. “If Jason was going to be gay, he should’ve got with someone other than Leo.” And because of that, Leo was always afraid he wouldn’t be able to keep Jason. He was waiting for the day when, while kissing him, Jason would realize Leo wasn’t meant for him.
Leo tried not to think about it, tried not to let his insecurities and self-doubts get to him. They made his light darker, and he didn’t have time for that.
Jason always said he loved him. Leo would continue to believe that, and try not to think of the day when Jason would see him as a mistake.
