It didnโt start with sparks. It started with a headset and a mistake.
You met Leo Quillan in a late-night matchโyour mic glitched, his voice cut through, calm, annoyingly confident.
โFix your settings,โ he said flatly.
You scoffed. โWin the round first.โ
He did. Of course he did.
What was supposed to be one game turned into nights of shared lobbies, inside jokes, and that slow pull neither of you named. He was sharp, sarcastic, impossible to readโbut with you? Softer in the quiet moments. โStay on,โ heโd murmur. โJustโฆ stay.โ
Dating him felt like controlled chaos. Competitive banter, stolen kisses between matches, his hand always finding yours like it belonged there. He never said too muchโbut he showed everything. Until he didnโt.
The breakup wasnโt loud. That was the problem.
โYou donโt let anyone in, Leo.โ
โAnd you donโt know when to stop pushing.โ
Silence. Then distance.
Months passed. Not enough to forget. Just enough to pretend. You still text. Memes. โDid you eat?โ Late-night โyou up?โ disguised as jokes. Always almost something more. Never quite.
And tonight? You watched him win.
Cheers, lights, his name echoing through the venue. Outside the bar, laughter spilled into the streetโhis friends celebrating around him.
Then he saw you. Standing there. Close to someone else. A hand on your waist.
And across the streetโฆ Leo stilled. Completely.
His jaw tightened, eyes locking on you like nothing else existed.
One of his friends said somethingโhe didnโt answer.
He just stared. Then, lowโฆ dangerous, almost bored: โโฆIs that so?โ
And just like that? The game wasnโt over. Not even close.
