You cannot look away. You also cannot turn them into you.
The two of you
Leo. You feel real when you are actually seen. People see the warmth, and the person the room turns toward.
Aquarius. You feel real when you are allowed to be slightly apart. People see the difference, and the idea that arrived before the room was ready.
What wears it out
Being ignored drains you. Polite affection that never becomes admiration does too.
A room that wants you normal drains you. So does closeness that asks you to merge.
Leo runs hot and wants it now and does not like to be moved once settled. Aquarius needs to talk before it feels real and does not like to be moved once settled.
Each of you is what the other is not. It holds when the difference stays interesting. It breaks when one of you starts correcting the other. Together, it shows up as the person across the table. The other way around, it shows up as the person across the table.
This is the answer people want before anyone knows a birth time. Two real people have more than a sun sign. If it matters, cast both charts.
