š² * ( alas alvarez, cis man, he/him ) āøŗ pictures of LEO ESPINA, the 23 year old musician (guitarist), have been showing up all over my feed, and considering the last time they were #trending, it was due to going on a long, cuss-filled rant about his own father ā iām not likely to unfollow anytime soon. with their muscle tee and earrings, theyāve managed to garner a reputation for being more conscientious than impetuous. their critics say that theyāre more hotheaded than altruistic when they arenāt too busy focusing on their laptop filled with new musical compositions, books bought in hopes they can teach him how to be a better person, afternoons dedicated to making their room neater. reputation.com has taken to calling them anger issues in order to avoid a lawsuit ( again ).

leo was born to his poor mom and a '90s legend, whos really a dickhead irl. leo understands his dad's significance to other people, being one of the only actors providing filipino-american representation before leo was born. still, leo's dad is a cheating, womanizing asshole with toxic masculinity.
growing up, leo hated the lifestyle of the rich and famous. his own father's behavior didn't help. however, in college (when leo was studying culinary arts), he met his now-bandmates. leo really does love music, so even though he has a problem with this whole celebrity thing, he's still in the industry anyway. he hopes he can navigate this world without compromising on the things he believes to be right.
he really hates the blog's codename for him, anger issues. (though, provoking him is the point ijbol) leo does have a temper but also a really good heart. and he's trying his best to manage it. most of the time too, he gets angry at things he perceives to be unjust.
he's very sensitive and though he's cishet, he tries his best to embrace his feminine side too and isn't afraid to step outside the box of traditional gender roles.

"i'm perfectly calm," he says, which clearly isn't true. but telling him to calm down is a pretty good way of making him even less calm. he knows the blonde already and thinks highly of her, though, so he decides to let it go. "do you really think that's true? people give a shit about me like that?" he says, "for you, i can believe it. your podcast is fucking awesome."
"i'm not that active on social media, leo! i thought you knew this!" that was partly true - she used it to post stories of her at parties and would message a few people whilst excitable and under the influence but wasn't one to post religiously. "making fun of me already, ah!" she was quick to wrap her arms around him. "i can't believe it's you! though, i guess you are a superstar, now!"
"stop flattering me," he grumbled, though he couldn't help the smile that graced his visage. "if you need money, i'll have you know that i'm far from a millionaire." and he would likely never be, no matter how popular neon nostalgia got, considering his whole thing about hating rich people. he welcomed the hug, though it came with a faux scoff. "fine. that's true," he admitted. "what have you been up to, kiri?"
obsession is a little strong aurelia thinks. "you think i'm obsessed with you?" she scoffs. sure, she didn't like the guy but she wouldn't call it an obsession. "you're the one who tried to be all 'oh i'm a knight and shining armor trying to save the damsel in distress' when i obviously didn't need it."
jesus. he sounds like such a chauvinist dickhead when she talks about him. but it wasn't about him being a knight or her being a damsel ā he was genuinely just concerned and wanted to help. "alright, fine," he says, hoping the party lights obscure how his cheeks are burning. he feels so embarrassed, like he can never do anything right no matter how good his intentions are. "i'll never help you or anyone else ever again."
"ooh. watch your language, kuya," teases leo. as if leo doesn't swear every five minutes. as if he hasn't made minjun go viral for saying curse words in bisaya. he sighs. "same," he admits. "i feel like kimmy doesn't really give a shit about us. she's 50; do you think she really stans neon nostalgia? some intern on her team probably added us to the list." with a shrug, he says, "other people would care. there are cameras everywhere. god."

leo feels like his every move is being watched closely, yet somehow the other guests don't really care about him. it's a really strange feeling. he stops himself from vocalizing the thought, though, the more that jonnie talks. "i don't wanna ruin this for y'all," says leo. he genuinely feels bad; he just wants his bestie to have fun. "honestly, i'm just whining as usual. don't mind me. i'll get over it." he leans against his seat, waiting for the joint to kick in. "i kinda need to be here anyway. you know people online are gonna have another meltdown if i'm 'mysteriously' missing again." the conspiracy theories get out of hand sometimes.
leo pauses for a moment. he tries to seem cool, but actually, that hurts. it's not like he didn't provoke the other guy, so he can't mope about the response. "you're right," he says, and moves out of the way. "sorry for ruining the vibe."
"you're right," said leo. "i do have a tendency to overthink about... well, everything." he joked, "this is a custom-made piece by louis vuitton. 'cause, you know, i'm a model." a pause. he tried not to giggle. "was that believable at all? i've been trying to convince the people here that it's true."
" hm ... maybe true. i guess i'm the wrong woman to ask. personally, i'm not a fan of the ... jagged look ... or men, but hey, to each their own, " a chuckle as she shrugged a bare shoulder, white gown draping gracefully down on her elbow. " so now what i'm hearing is you want me to mess up your hair, then ? "
"yeah, of course," he spluttered out, sinking further into his embarrassment. "i just assumed some things were like, universal..." he coughed, trying not to dig himself any deeper into this. "nah, enough about my hair. sorry i snapped at you earlier. i didn't realize it was you, honestly. i felt someone looking at me and heard a british accent, so i thought it was just some random british person being mean to me."
"damn, i can't even get a palihug?" he was teasing; palihug meant please in bisaya. knowing that maggie wasn't confident in that language always amused him. "how do you even..." he took out his phone and looked it up. "it says i need baking soda to clean this up. there's no baking soda in this place, just cocaine," he remarked wryly, remembering the british guy earlier who was doing snow. "do you think that'll work?"

(spongebob narrator voice) a few minutes later... "put lots of ice, please," leo told the bartender, all nice and polite. this was sincere. the words that would come out of his mouth next? not so much. "sir," he told the preston guy, "here's your driāah, oops!" he feigned distress when he dropped the glass near the guy's shoes, whiskey and ice splattering around the area. "oof, i'm so clumsy."
"are you really that self involved that you think i was staring at you?" aurelia spits out before flipping him off. leo had a way of getting under her skin ever since he tried to save her when she was perfectly fine of saving herself. "i have better things to do than stare at you."
"that sounds like something who doesn't have anything better to do than stare at me would say." beneath his bravado, his enmity with the girl genuinely bothered him. he's not good at handling conflict. "i really hope you get over your little obsession with me."
"oh, what, i am? sorry i'm kind of in the way, bro," says leo. aaaand... he doesn't budge. he gives the empty glass a quick glance. "hope something can be done about that, man."
theĀ factĀ thatĀ Ā theĀ designerĀ nameĀ didn't instantly pop into the forefront of her mind when she saw saw the outfit made gaze linger. any second it was bound to dawn on her - or would have had her thoughts not been interrupted. well, at least she'd get the answer.Ā ā who styled your outfit? ā
"oh, this old thing?" said leo. "it's louis vuitton, obviously." his cheap suit definitely wasn't lv, but he thought it'd be funny to pretend it was. he wondered if the woman would buy it. "but..." he tried to move towards her ear slightly, whispering. "this is a custom-made fit that they made for me. pretty cool, right?"
usually, all people could see when leo was in a mood was him being angry or aggressive. nic's gentleness made him feel some sense of relief. "i'm overwhelmed," he admitted. "all of this is too much... but also not enough...?" heaving a sigh, he muttered, "what am i even doing here? honestly, you fit in here, at least."

"uh- maybe another drink? then i'll probably get going." she was moderating herself because the last thing she needed was to get drunk when she was still trying to deal with symptoms. "yeah, things are balancing out again, i think. there's just a lot of people here." it was lovely to see people but she was a little on edge about it. "how about you? how are things going?"
"well, i'm glad to see someone else having fun." leo's probably just a fucking sourpuss. he'd accepted this by now. "i'm... well, you know i'm the grinch." he sighed. "i'm trying to watch a movie on my tablet, but i refuse to pay for a streaming service subscription. so i've mostly just been accumulating viruses on my device." a pause. "virii?"
" well, excuse me, mister, " british accent escaped her lips with a laugh, a dainty arm reached out to fix a stray hair atop leo's head, but not before lightly licking her finger ( half for moisture's sake, half to embarrass the other ... well, maybe more like 30 / 70, ) " for just trying to make sure you look perfect. " kissing her own hand, she hummed, " there we go ! not one hair out of place. "
"but i thought women like it when you're a little rough around the edges," says leo. the attempt to embarrass him is effective, but he's still very much eager to learn from logan. he sees her like a mentor of sorts in various aspects of life. "don't i look too neat now?"
