Fire's Freezing Point [UNDOING II]

Cross My Heart, Swear on the Styx.

==> Willow.

Luna hadn't been sleeping and it showed. I hadn't seen her well rested since Oliver disappeared, and when I tried to ask her about it, she would just look at me and say "I really don't want to talk about it."
I always let it go, since I didn't want to overstep my bounds. But it was May, and her eyebags were designer by this point. She wasn't worried about Oliver, she'd be pacing the room if that happened. This was something deeper, something a lot more troubling.

I knew exactly where to go.

Okay well, actually no. I knew who to go to. But it would take some wandering to find out where.

So that's exactly what I did. I wandered for half an hour in the forest before I found Bunker Nine. If anyone knew what was up with Luna; it was Leo.

I walked up to the entrance. Should... Should I knock? I decided not to. He didn't seem like the type to be bothered with knocking. I fumbled with the door before figuring out how to open it. I opened the door, and poked my head in. I'd never been there, but it was insane.

Blueprints, equations I couldn't fathom ever solving and scraps of metal were everywhere. The AC was blasting hard and loud. Music was blasting louder. Leo didn't even look away from the giant dragon he was under. Is this what he was always doing? Holy shit. It was huge and intricate. I could never dream of working on something so complex.

Despite all the noise, he heard me come in.

"Luna! Hey, c'mere, I did this cool thing with Festus' piping system!"

I stood there. I wasn't Luna. It was cute, though that he automatically defaulted to thinking it was Luna in the bunker.

"Ehehe... Not Luna! Just Willow." I waved. This causes Leo to poke his head out from his work.

"Eh? Whatcha doing here, Willow Smithie?" He tilted his head like a curious puppy. I stepped closer, sitting down on a chair.

"I actually wanted to talk about Luna. You mind?" I asked, running my fingers through my bangs. He swiveled around to face me. I could see it faintly in the warm light of the bunker. He was blushing.

Blackmail? Hella. I couldn't help but smile mischeviously. I knew that Luna liked him. I also knew that he liked her. A part of me wanted to set them up, but I also wanted to see how it played out.

"What are you starin' at? Is my face charred?"

"Nah. It's just horribly obvious you got a crush on Luna." It came out before I could think. Leo's demeanor changed. He scooted back, fidgeting with his shirt.

"I have no idea to What you're referring to, sunshine! We- we're just friends. I swear."

I nodded. I didn't believe him.

"Uh huh. Anyway, has she talked to you about her insomnia?" I asked. Leo tilted his head again. That wasn't a good sign.

"I mean... Like she's told me that she's been having scary dreams, but she doesn't say what's in them... But yea she tells me everything." The idea that she told him everything seemed to make him happy. It was amusing to watch him. I sighed.

"It's bad then... If she won't tell you. Could you ask her tonight? I-I'm worried about her." I explained. "She hasn't slept well since new years."

"Alright, alright. Ill ask her."

"Thanks." My smile returned to me. "You're a good guy, Leo. I can see why Luna likes you."

"Oh hey- wait-"

Oops.
Leo stared at me, wide eyed. "She likes me???"

"Oh- wow- would you look at the time? I have to.... Polish legs." Dammit.
