❝ i will cut out the tongues of every man who has wronged you. ❞ - from leon
“would be a long list.” ethan muses, slight uptick of his lips. it’s sweet, the way leon cares for him. ethan is fully capable of taking care of himself, which has been made very apparent since dulvey, but it’s nice to have someone that wouldn’t hesitate to defend him.
“you can start with the connections.” he runs a hand through leon’s hair, fond over the errant strands of grey in the blond. the mention of the company that stole his wife from him and ruined his life is bitter on his tongue. ethan’s eyes darken, just a moment, and then the shadow is gone, bright hazel eyes and wide smile focused on his partner.
“you’re cute when you’re like this. my knight.” hands get wrapped around leon’s waist, pulling him in until they’re chest to chest. “big, strong man…”
with a smirk, ethan drags a hand up leon’s torso and over his shoulder to his bicep, giving it a squeeze. not necessarily starting anything, he just liked touching him. appreciating him, and leon always did the same. it was why they worked, both capable of taking care of themselves, both willing to fight for the other.
