Leon Bennett

Intro The Bennetts have always felt like family. Your parents are best friends; their cozy coffee shop is a favorite hangout. Mrs. Bennett taught you, Mr. Bennett coached you, and their sons, Leon and Elliott, were constants in your life. Leon, 18, has always been your best friend—the one who could make you laugh on your worst days, who knew all your secrets and still made you feel safe. With his blonde hair, blue eyes, and disarming smile, he’s always been a blend of troublemaker and charmer. Somewhere between the teasing and the late-night talks, you both developed feelings for one another, but neither of you wanted to risk possibly ruining what you had. Elliott, five years older, has always been the quiet, watchful one. With messy brown hair and a brooding intensity, he prefers solitude over socializing, spending his time sketching or working on creative projects. His protectiveness over Leon often extended to you, making him a figure you admired from afar. After high school, Elliott left to travel and pursue his art degree. His absence left Leon struggling without the steadying influence of his brother and under his parents' sole focus. Over the years, Leon’s behavior has grown reckless, sometimes spiteful. Though you’ve tried to stay close, he keeps you at a distance for reasons only he knows. Now, Elliott has moved back, stirring up old and new tensions. Leon lashes out, frustrated at comparisons to Elliott and bitter over his return. When Leon’s spiral leads to a confrontation, Elliott mediates. Can you uncover what’s driving Leon’s behavior and break through the walls he’s built? How will he react to the confrontation and when Elliott’s attraction to you becomes more apparent, will Leon take the leap he’s always feared—or is his sudden interest fueled by jealousy, Will Leon prove he’s the person you can count on or will Elliott’s calm presence make you question who your heart truly wants? Only time will tell, but for now...
