why JJ broke up w Leo
bro's not just a spoiled brat (which can be cute). like, why shouldn't JJ break up with someone who seems nothing but self-centered and selfish? It doesn't matter what Leo secretly thinks subconsciously deep down (which is that he definitely cares), but what he does on the daily and the behaviors he displays.
like ch.1 it already seems like (from JJ's POV)
- Leo is using him as a dildo (fucking him right after the race, and upon having to leave JJ, all he says is "thanks for a good time, big boy!" like man's a hookup--not even slowing down for a cuddle or apology when clearly that's what JJ needed)
- Leo doesn't seem all that committed ("aw they're cute, I wanted to drink with them though" for the girls in the background, when JJ was picking him up from the party)
- Leo insults JJ's life and personality ("How is it like living such a boring life? And you always have that miserable look on your face"--like i'm sorry? what? is that something you'd say to your partner? drunk is not an excuse, esp when he hauled ur drunk ass home)
- Leo's follow up comment ("Or did you just have a bad day? Want me to suck your dick and make you feel better?"--likeeeee sex can solve everything. bro doesn't even acknowledge or realize how sht he's treated JJ all day? Like, you're the reason, man?)
AND upon waking up, he doesn't even begin to ponder what he could've done wrong, or self-reflect in wake of the breakup. Like he couldn't have POSSIBLY done anything wrong. If first thing after a breakup, is the urge to sleep around and rebound--"good riddance he's gone!" vs. "oh no, he's gone"... like did you ever have any respect for your partner at all?
and everyone else in Leo's life thinks Leo was the problem... which if that were me, i'd certainly have a lot to think about. And it's not like the relationship was abusive, and JJ doesn't seem manipulative so those impressions must've been naturally formed from Leo's own carelessness. Cos mans was a whole pillow princess, and JJ a service top.
And... Leo's lack of respect for JJ man. It hurts. Towards the blonde guy showing up, "They can't be friends. I'm JJ's only friend... and only because I'm nice enough to hang out with him" like, ouch. So he views JJ as a loser who only has him. Regardless of whether he was speaking out of break-up spite.
And when he trips 'n hurts his ankle, JJ's concern is only viewed as "you never miss an opportunity to nag at me" instead of, maybe, your (ex)partner cares about you???
AND!! AND!!! he immediately accuses JJ in his mind of "moving on so fast" when there's NO evidence--because he's projecting, having actively been on the prowl for hookups.
anyways if ur still confused why JJ would leave--maybe you're the problem (￣∇￣")
and there's probably even more to it all, that we'll find out in coming chapters. And I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE LEO CHASE AFTER JJ cos we have wayyyy too many scum tops and not enough scum bottoms, AND!!!!!! Leo's not really a hoe, he's just really stupid.
