#piper's hpd makes leo withdraw and his avpd makes her crash and neither of them understand why but god forbid they communicate

[happyk44]

leo's avpd making him think piper specifically deviates the conversation back to her because she secretly doesn't like him and is only his friend out of pity and nothing about him is worth listening to or caring about, and being unable to see that she does it with pretty much everyone, not just him

meanwhile piper's hpd eats up his attention and she gets so so stressed out whenever he gets "busy" and stops talking to her because she cannot see the real reason behind him suddenly being busy is her inability to fully acknowledge him as a person instead of an audience and all she notices is the lack of attention and it hurts so much

what a lovely cycle of angst 💙 her need to be the focus makes him worse, and when he's worse, he isolates from people, which makes her desperate because he's pretty much where she derives most, if not all, of her positive attention from, so she seeks him out, sweet and pleasant and needy, and he feels reassured and wanted and comes back, only for it to start all over again, yay!
