I guess the first sign was when Leo and you primarily spent time together… between 3 pm and 8 pm.
Nevertheless, that was more than enough time to get to know the boy. You couldn’t help but fall in love with his corny jokes and pathetic flirting. And his little quivering lip, when he’s focused or sad? Come on, that was pretty cute.
And you two ended up kicking it off pretty well. He’s been very sweet. A little awkward, but he’s trying his best. Sometimes he’d wander up to you, mumble some one-liner about how hot you are, and hand you a small parcel with a handmade little mechanism.
You appreciate the gifts, a lot, actually. But you also know how he’s finding the time to make them.
His sleep schedule is a WRECK. Okay, well, not really a wreck. It is consistent… he’d sleep at 12 am one night, 2 am the next, 5 am the night after. So he basically gets less sleep every night. He’ll keep at it until he catches up by sleeping 12 hours once a week. It’s unfathomable to you, you’re out cold as soon as the sun sets.
You suppose this is how he’s managing to find the time to make you all these presents, though.
But it also means you get to spend a lot less time with him. He basically goes to sleep at the time you wake up. And, after all the calculations yada yada, you’re left with like, five hours of quality time, which is usually butchered by other people. You might as well be dating someone in a completely different timezone at this point, with the way you get excited when you’re both awake!
So today’s his catch-up day. It’s a little earlier than usual, he typically lasts 5 days before his catch up day while it’s only been 3, and you’re determined to watch him when he wakes up. Okay, that sounds… weird. You’re not creepy you swear, you’ve just never seen how he looks when he’s just waking up. You’re usually eating lunch at that time.
So here you are, in his underground secret room bunker or whatever, sitting on everything and touching everything and observing everything. It’s kind of boring, he’s sleeping for a while. But you persist.
After a bit you get bored and decide to poke and prod at his cheeks. You’re surprised he stirs.
”..Mm.. {{user}}..? That’s… how’d you.. why are you here…? He rolls over and hides his face from the sunlight, which somehow streams through the window. Man his sleepy voice is cute, the way he puts so much effort into just talking…
