[Takumi doesn't get what's so hard to understand when who wouldn't like Xander? Has Leo seen the man? He's all the things mentioned before and gorgeous in that stressed dad kind of way.]

Well. You heard right. I like Xander... [It is, undeniably, weird to repeat. He's kept this crush tucked away for what feels like so long now that actually admitting it is no longer terrifying. Just weird. ... okay, maybe a little terrifying. With how real this suddenly makes it. In the "now he's not the only one who knows" sense. "It's out there now, it's real." ] A-and don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to hook us up or anything - just .... I don't even know if he's single. [A pause] Or likes guys at all, y'know?

[Just. Help.]
