Leevi had hardly been known as the nicest, along with Tómas. That doesn’t seem to be the case with Mikkel. He knew of Mikkel’s past and all the pain he went through both physically and mentally. That’s why he did his best to not show anger in front of Mikkel, for risk of setting him off. However, today was different. Mikkel had come to him with tears in his eyes asking if he could stay over for a while. He’d do anything to make sure his boyfriend was safe and feeling like he mattered. That’s how Mikkel ended up sleeping in his bed with a bear plushie Leevi had made last minute out of an old towel and some fluff he got at the store. There’s also a couple button eyes he’d stitched on. Mikkel had watched him make it and hugged it tightly when it was finished.
A gentle kiss was pressed to Mikkel’s cheek. On the way to the kitchen, Leevi thought about what Mikkel had told him the night before. There was a fight going on at home and he was brought up multiple times. Mikkel had gotten out of there before anything serious could happen to him. Leevi thanked the old gods that he got out of there when he did. Didn’t want to know what would’ve happened. Something has to be done about his parents. He didn’t seem to notice he was staring at the coffee machine until a sleepy sound was made from behind him. Looking in the direction, he found Mikkel was awake and hugging the bear he made. That sleepy expression is adorable.
“Morning, sleepyhead. Tea or coffee?” Purple eyes of Mikkel look at the blond Finn. Red eyes looked back at him. “Do you have hot chocolate?” Mikkel asked a bit shyly. “Of course. I’ll get right on it.” Leevi got to making hot chocolate for Mikkel. When it was finished, he handed it to the Dane, whom happily took it from him. “You feeling better?” Leevi asked and sat at the table. Mikkel sat next to him, keeping his bear in his lap. “A bit. Thanks for letting me stay here.” Leevi gently pulled Mikkel’s face to look at him. “You’re my boyfriend. I’d do anything for you. I love you.” Mikkel’s cheeks flushed red. Setting his hot chocolate on the table, Mikkel pulled Leevi in for a hug. What did he do to deserve the Finn? Leevi smiled a bit and returned the hug.
Each day that passed, Leevi prepared a mug of hot chocolate for Mikkel before he woke up. A faint smile crossed his face each time he saw the happy smile that crossed Mikkel’s face when he was handed to mug. Seeing him happy made him happy. Made his heart flutter. Mikkel was happy to see Leevi going out of his way to do so just for him. One morning, Mikkel noticed Leevi wasn’t there, but there was his hot chocolate and a note. The note said that he had something to take care of and he’d be back within the hour. What was he doing? As the hour passed by, Mikkel waited for him to show up. When he did it was when Mikkel was laying on his stomach on the couch and using his phone. Leevi just kind of flopped on top of him. Mikkel looked over his shoulder at the other blond.
“Where were you?” He asked. “First I took care of your parents. Then I went to pick something up,” Leevi responded. “What did you get?” A small black box was placed in front of the Dane. Curious, Mikkel opened it to reveal an engagement ring with amethyst in the middle. Purple eyes widen when he saw it. What? “You mean everything to me, Mikkel. I don’t want to lose you. I-” “Yes.” Red eyes look at Mikkel to see him rubbing at an eye. Arms wrap around Mikkel and he shifted so he could hug Leevi.
