Owen is so distant (rooted from having BPD: giving that to him because I can and it makes sense) and Legs is the only one to consistently be there for him, sending him sweet "good morning" and "good night" texts often, despite not getting a response half the time. And Owen develops an attachment to him, because of course he does. Anyone who can show him care and patience is worthy of being put on a pedestal and it's hard not to immediately fall in love. I mean, Owen can't really tell what is or isn't love at this stage, at least not in the romantic sense but he knows that he needs to keep legs by his side.

He wouldn't even suggest his feelings unless he was drunk. Which would be a very rare scenario because he doesn't tend to drink, and it's notably more difficult for vampires to get drunk. But if he's empty on blood and given one too many drinks he might just start to lean into Legs and brush their fingers together. In this rare scenario he may let his eyes close and allow the walls he had been hiding behind crumble. And maybe just maybe Legundo would get a clue that Owen does trust him.
