i like thinking of possibilities and arguments for both sides :3 both are relatively introverted, which plays into the disease. though leon's directly confirmed and gus just seems kinda antisocial. imo leon seems like the type to keep things secret, like his face behind a hoodie. in my eyes that makes him seem like a wannabe cool kid, too shy and trying to hide from judging eyes by putting on a fake persona. probably wouldn't want a little crush on another guy ruining his reputation (does bro even have any? ). it'd also make more sense because in your stories gus is a ghost, and how the fuck is that supposed to work? but gus would make sense aswell, as i've already said, he's pretty much antisocial. his friends are clothes, balloons, and a raccoon. he does have some normal friends, but dude even got deleted from an official art including the group . so if we take from that, he's pretty lonely without them. so revealing the fact he has a crush on leon could make everyone in his friend group go against him, making him have no one again. tbh there's probably more to it when leon has it, but gus could be interesting too!!
