Obviously, Bede is a mess in person. He’s mean, yet clingy, yet constantly shoving his darling away. Secretly, he wishes for them to come to him, praise him, worship if they must. It’s what he deserves, but his darling has very different opinions about him than what he’d like them to think. He sticks around them as much as he can, doing his damn best to shatter them whenever they dare to battle with him. It might have been their success in beating him back when they were still kids that made him crazy for his darling, and his mentor Opal noticed too just how his feelings fall all out of his composure whenever he sees them.
Nobody could have known just how tricky his infatuation with his rival would be; no one wanted to see it. But it was there all along, and Bede makes good use of his fairies, helping him in coaxing and taking his darling away from anyone else. They are only his to admire, and they should only have him to admire too. No matter how badly he treats them, shoves his punishments down their throat as if he thinks they are confessions of love, and makes them cry, it has to be all about him. If he can’t become better than them, then they have to sink on his level, even if they lose themselves in the process, so they can be both mad in a wonderland that belongs only to the two of them
Leon simply became champion too early in life, didn’t have enough experience to live before that either, and suddenly, being champion is all he ever was. It’s a tough life, and he constantly loses his path in it, metaphorically as well as literally. The moment his darling freed him of this burden on him however, everything became clear and open for him. No more secrecy behind his back, and people using him. He had time to find himself, years even, and many things changed. Many, but not them. They grew up to be a new, better champion with more structure and support for their ideas, even from him, and Leon couldn’t help himself from falling in love with them over the years they worked together
They are like his better half, even if they don’t know yet. The tower that he built for his new purpose is now their love nest, and their battles are the fruits of their love. Leon is fine with holding back ever so often just to see them smile and jump into the air from happiness about defeating him. And when they finally look at him, he can see that they must be feeling the same that he does. Oh, he holds back for so long, no one would understand how it feels to be able to celebrate with them, taking them back to his room one night. His darling will be surprised to find old newspapers talking about their victories and projects of the past, alongside all the merch and tokens he collected over the years from them. It might scare them just how much of a fan he has become, yet, Leon won’t let them go that night, no matter if it scars them to see his obsession in his eyes, or not
