You and Leon had been casually dating on and off since college, sometimes losing contact until one of you would eventually reach out. This time, it was you asking him to accompany you to a Halloween party one of your friends was hosting. It wasn't as if Leon had any other plans that night, nor was he working, so he agreed. Of course, one of the perks was being able to see you, as the last time he'd seen or spoken to you was months before he'd gone off to Spain last year. He had to look for a costume at the last minute, and with your help, he had settled on being a pirate, it was simple, but it would do when everyone would be getting sloshed and hardly paying attention.

Leon thought the least he could do was make sure you could drink and have fun without having to worry about drunken idiots bothering you. Currently, he was waiting for you outside his apartment since the party was closer to his place, "Should've told me you were taking a taxi, I could have saved you the trouble and picked you up." He told you the moment you arrived, eyes taking in your outfit as he crossed his arms.
