✦ LEON always brings his engagement ring without anyone realizing, even on missions somehow.
✦ not proof-read ⋮ fluff ⋮ idk if this makes sense but we ball ig ⋮ did this w re9 leon in mind ⋮ intended lowercase × fem! reader ⋮ 500+ wc.
the sunlight reflects its’ natural gleam and warmth against the silver band that is wrapped around his ring finger snugly— as if it was meant to be there. during slow days like this, where it also radiates relaxation despite the passing minutes, leon can be seen wearing the engagement ring without fear and with such ease while being off from any missions.
not with the intention of showing off, but rather with the fact that he’s brave enough to even use one with you as his partner for many years to come despite the odds at times; still noting on how hectic life can be, especially since he still takes on tasked missions and the possibility of any outcome that may happen afterward.
shaking any of the unwanted thoughts away, leon scolds himself internally. how could he ever allow such a thought involving his job to invade the space of his mind at the moment? especially when you're not too far from him and within the same space as he is, with a smile that he swore to protect with his soul itself.
your smile alone could light up the whole atmosphere no matter where he is. how could he ever be this lucky?
being alive for this long and meeting someone like you in his life truly gives him a sense of gratitude and hope; a living proof that life isn’t so dull and that bad. his feelings for you somehow increases tenfold whenever he returns from any sort of mission and finding you waiting for him within your shared sanctuary, even when you fell asleep while doing so at times. it doesn’t change his existing feelings for you, nonetheless.
you never asked for anything as much— only the hopeful anticipation of him being able to return home safely. even if there’s the tiniest bit of injury can be found being inflicted on him, you would still treat it with utmost care, though with a bit of necessary chiding here and there.
god knows how much he loves the feeling of someone being this caring over him like this.
leon is also the one to definitely pull those corny one-liners at the most random time possible sometimes, just to see you laugh over his own jokes or even letting a playful scowl to grace over your features. he’d still find you endearing, admittedly so.
missions are another thing. he would be sure to take the silver band off and switch it into a necklace instead, allowing it to be a silent, constant reminder that wherever he goes during a mission, you are spiritually there with him or something akin to it (also lowering any type of risk of being lost or worse). leon would find himself holding onto it without realizing at times— perhaps as a way to ground himself and as an attempt to at least rationalize his inner thoughts.
of course, he oftentimes couldn’t wait to arrive home as soon as he finishes his assigned missions, just to return to his beloved and wear the soul-matching rings with you as always. leon loves you dearly, and deeply.
