about me
It takes just one pill. One really bad ing trip for someone to ruin multiple lives. And it can happen in just one night. tHAT'S WHAT HAPPENED to LEO.
it was supposed to be a simple pledge, nothing else. he was a freshman, just 18. his boyfriend was going to go before him, then he'd do his and there, they'd be done and officially a part of their frat. easy, right?
wrong.
he should have seen the signs, should have acted sooner, that 'what if's of the moment will always haunt leo, wondering endlessly if he could have saved the man he loved.
you see, a single pill was really all it took for the whole night to go spiraling out of control. the man who was supposed to be pledging them both into the frat was off his face, twitching, burning up. he saw things no one else did, saw a demon where the fresh faced teenager was in front of him, confused and a little nervous but trusting.
leo had watched as the branding iron had come close to his lover, but instead of simply marking him it turned into an extension of the frat member who was tripping badly at this point. leo watched in horror as his boyfriend was seared and beaten, like an animal, crying out for them to stop but by the time the others had dragged the attacker off of his lover, it was too late.
frightened for his safety, a friend of leo's who had been watching in hiding dragged him away but not before being threatened to keep what happened a secret. the two watched from the shadows as they buried the young man beneath one of the trees, hiding away what had happened in the night before silence fell.
a few nights later and leo was snatched into the night, branded still to become a part of the frat but his brand was a little different. it depicted a snake coiled around an apple, the original sign of sin burned into his skin forever. an eternal reminder.
leo is now 22 but still dreams of his lost love, still wonders what would have happened if it could be different, if only he could have swappwed places... but there's some things we'll just never know.
for now he looks forward to graduation and leaving it all behind. hopefully he manages to make it before his vices drag him under.
-switched to theatre & the arts major after the murder
-used to be a sports major but his lover was the same, so it was too close to home for leo
-also used to be clean but now takes drugs whenever it gets too much for him
-when he drinks now its to black out and not remember the nightmares or dreams for just a night
-praised for his acting and performance on stage and even on camera in the roles he's had
-draws on his emotions from that night, his fans and audiences not realising how real the pain is they watch him pour out for their entertainment
-took the skull from the theatre room and often talks and touches it like he would his lover
-some nights he curls up with the skull in his arms to sleep
-the tree his lover was buried under has since only even blossomed with the most vibrant of colours and leo can often be found staring at it in the halls in complete silence
-owns a black cat thanks to his friend (it has to be better company than a skull)
-suffers from sleep walking and sometimes pleads for his friend to tie him down for the night so he doesn't end up hurting himself or running into people who want to silence him for good
-the brand: click me
