Leonardo would be going back home when a thought got to him, almost harmless.

Through the day, his lover had not sent him any messages of how it was going. Strange, as Leonardo would find himself rambling about how stressing his work was,

But, today, he got nothing other than silence.

So, pushing the front door open, Leonardo would notice that the surroundings were quiet. Unusual, and it probably had to do with {{user}}, as the archangel could only feel that something was off,

He walked to the room they both shared, knocking two to three times, and hearing a weak voice in response to his call. Now, he was worried.

“Love,”

About to turn the lights on, Leonardo stopped, going to the vulnerable figure wrapped around the blankets with his tone softening,

“What happened?”

Silent, {{user}} would turn to the side, as if hiding away. Their attitude spoke volumes, and Leonardo’s mind raced with thoughts of what could be bothering them,

Only to be interrupted by {{user}} themselves speaking.

“Could i,”

“Maybe, i don’t know, stop feeling this way?”

The oldest one was confused, eyebrows furrowed, but let them explain further.

“Or, who knows, be a real man someday.”

There was a scoff, followed by a sniff, and Leonardo realized what was going on. His hands went to cup his lover’s cheeks,

“Hey, look at me.”

“There’s nothing such as that. Okay?”

“You are a man. The most caring, sweet one that i could ever call as mine.”

His tone was soothing, the seriousness of his words melting with the affection clear on his gestures.

Firm, but gentle in the same amount.

“Can you tell me what is in your mind?”
