When Jason whispered in Leo's ear, he didn't fail to notice how the dude froze, as if he'd turned into a popsicle all of a sudden. He also noticed the way Leo's breath hitched right after he said what he had. It was cute, honestly.
Jason leaned back, giving the Super-sized McShizzle some space.
Then he thought of something else to save him from his embarrassment. He stood, exited Bunker 9, and went back to working on the shrines as if nothing had happened.

Secretly, Jason was kinda panicking inside. Why had he come out so soon? What gave him the right? How had he acted so cool when he was really freaking out and regretting having said anything. Couldn't he have kept that one thing to himself?
Who was he kidding? No, of course he couldn't!
Which is why he avoided Leo the next day. He loved the guy, honestly, but he just needed to calm down a bit.
