@megomego (Late about the whole situation you’re in, so here’s a ficlet. Stay safe and hope you’re okay!)
Leo found himself waking up in the middle of the night. He opened his eyelids, causing a faint blue glow around the room before closing them again. He looked up and smiled softly at the person beside him in bed.
He shyly moved closer to the man and watched him for a bit.
‘Mm, it’s rare that I see Steven like this. So relaxed and at ease. You’d never think he’d be like this at work or in public. He always seem to cool and calculated. Never knowing what goes through his head.’
Thinking back to when they first met, Leo always thought that Steven was a bit rough around the edges. Not heartless but stern in what he was as a co-boss and as a person. Not cruel but distant from others in a way.
A distance that has gotten shorter between him and Leo as time went on.
He can remember when Steven stopped calling him ‘boy’ and instead his name. He can remember when the man’s touches started becoming softer and intimate. He can even clearly remember when they stopped dancing around each other and finally say what they felt.
What they felt for each other.
It would be a bit careless to think that they have changed completely since they got together. They did in some ways and in others, they didn’t. Steven was still the co-leader of Libra who was a stern foot to Klaus’s gentle hand. And Leo was still well, himself really. He still worry about his sister and his family as well as Libra, his new family.
Steven, as well, still care for Klaus, his dear and long time best friend.
They both knew that there are people that they care a lot for. But that didn’t deter the love that they have for each other.
And Leo was fine with that.
“...take a picture, it’ll last longer.”
Leo was snapped out of his musings to see the man sleepily, yet amusingly, looking at him. He blushed as he started to scramble for an excuse. “I-Well-you see---!” He eeped as he was pulled into an embrace.
“Sleep now, talk later.” Steven yawned before kissing the top of Leo’s head. “G’night.”
Leo chuckled to himself before leaning into the embrace and let sleep slowly take over him once again.
“Good night, Steven.”
