Leo. I must tell you of something important. Neither of us are strangers to love and I’m positive that you’re as aware of the rules as I. I’ve been contemplating a full commitment and I thought the time to tell you of this was nigh. So, please, I implore you to listen to me so that I might tell you how I feel – so that you might understand. I vow to never give you up nor to let you down; I vow to never run around and desert you. I swear never to make you cry; I swear I’ll never say goodbye—
“And I, too, swear upon my life that I shall never tell you a lie and hurt you in any way.”
His voice cuts hers off curtly, its tone soft as fingers twist with hers and pull the two of them ever closer together. A smile, so faint on his lips, curls into being as the space between them closes, and his grip tightens just enough to be noticeable. She’s radiant– he’s admired her since her return, truly, admired her strength of person, her mysterious aura, her quick wit and sharp tongue– and, most importantly, her choice in memes.
Leo presses a chaste kiss to her forehead, smile widening as he looks down at her and holds her. He would do anything for her, and he knows it, and it’s very likely she, too, knows it.
“This was an unexpected exchange, so if I may inquire, what posessed you to suddenly come to me and confess something like this?”
