sex + romance headcanons ! | accepting
💍 has my muse ever had a one - night stand ?
yes, fairly regularly -- although perhaps not as often as one might assume, given how much of a flirt he is lol.
it’s no big secret on here how lonely leon has been since his awakening in the modern era, nor his desperation for intimacy despite his own baggage and feelings of not being deserving of deep, meaningful connections. casual sex is a way for him to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak -- temporarily quenching his touch starvation and need for human contact while still remaining untethered by expectation or any sort of formal relationship. as it stands now, sex is purely transactional for him, a tool he wields to at least temporarily bridge the gap and receive the intimacy he craves.
that being said, it’s very rare that he actually approaches someone with that as his primary intent. he’s much more the sort to take a ‘ wait and see ’ approach, believing that whatever happens, happens -- and should they fall into bed together, all the better for it.
😘 would my muse have sex on the first date ?
you know, given my answer above i was originally planning on answering this with a very quick and decisive ‘ yes ’, but the more i think about it, the more i’m actually leaning towards a ‘ maybe / unsure ’. let me explain my reasoning lol.
as mentioned above, leon views sex as a transaction and as something very purposefully separated from romance as a whole. as we know, his aversion to love and romance in general -- once merely seen as a bore and a waste of time in the past and now seen as a great source of pain and guilt -- is a large driving force behind why he keeps most people at arms - length, unwilling to hurt someone else the same way he believes he had hurt the one dearest to him once again. honestly, just getting him to agree to an actual, serious date would far and away be the more difficult part of the ‘ sex on the first date ’ equation lol.
assuming he did say yes, however, i’m inclined to believe that he wouldn’t have done so without giving his whole i - can’t - marry - you - woe - is - me spiel, which already proves to some extent how deeply he cares about his potential partner - to - be. and given the depth of his feelings towards them versus his own callous view towards sex, i think he would have a hard time at least at first reconciling the two, not wanting to subject the person he cares for to a mere unfeeling tool.
i think context is most likely key, but all of this is to say that while he likely wouldn’t object if his partner asked, i doubt he would bring it up first or initiate anything on his own.
