Trying to look at this objectively without taking any sides, it’s clear both are at fault. Leo’s a brat. He’s very childish and likes to get his way. And for the most part he’s emotionally immature. So he ends up taking things at face value and for granted. He had sex with JJ and basically had him as a baby sitter because eveything seemed fine. Nothing appeared to be wrong. So he took him for granted. JJ on the other hand, has the emotional intelligence of a brick wall. He takes all the hits and will never budge. So he does that. He let’s his boyfriend keep getting his way. And he let’s him. In a way encouraging this behavior. He knows something is wrong and what’s happening isn’t right, but he let’s it happen. Why? Because he won’t budge like the brick wall that he is.
But brick walls don’t last forever. And so finally he crumbles. And what does he do? Avoid the problem. Leo confronts him and for once was probably willing to listen, and JJ reprimands him and seems to finally be ready to communicate. But he doesn’t. Because sometimes only part of a brick wall falls. So he doesn’t budge and avoids the problem entirely.
Now we get to where we are currently. Leo being the immature brat that he is, doesn’t know what’s wrong. In fact i’m pretty sure he was unaware that anything was wrong. So he does what he knew best. Sex. That’s the one thing he assumed both of them enjoyed so he proposed the idea. Because he has to get his way. JJ, still unwilling to budge and communicate, accepts even though he knows this is wrong. And so they do. They become friends with benefits and obviously there are no benefits. Leo who’s always gotten his way finally realizes that this time, he’s not getting what he wants. And JJ who refuses to open up is now bottling up more things and he ends up being petty because that’s the only way he feels he can express himself.
And then we get to the latest chapter. Both are now most likely feeling the actual weight of what happened with them. They refused to acknowledge the problem and they refused to even address the problem in the first place. Maybe they need some time off apart? Maybe they need to see new people first? But one thing’s for sure, these two can’t move on. At least not until they finally communicate with each other. Seems the the author might pull the ‘major life threatening event’ card so they can finally realize their feelings for one another. But i digress.
