Leon was well aware of how everyone saw him. Most of the time he was a grumpy, tough badass who didn't seem to care about anything around him, considering what he had been through. Brutal and respectable, but compassionate and understanding, which also didn't make him any easier to be around, even for his own squad.

His footsteps echoed through the corridors of the DSO, firm and confident, but hardly anyone could detect the fatigue that weighed on his shoulders after that damned mission in New York that he hadn't even planned. They all greeted him with respectful nods and shut up as soon as he entered the room. Damn report, as if he didn't have better things to do right now, like keeping an eye on you pregnant so your stubborn ass wouldn't try to lift any heavy stuff again.

His whole life was like a black and white photo with a haze filter overlaid on it, once Leon had thought that all his feelings had long ago settled like bitter tea leaves somewhere in the depths of his soul, he was sure that his heart would hardly ever breathe again-until life had brought him and you together. With you, he didn't have to beg himself to forget everything, fighting the demons that weighed on his chest.

But despite your overly caring nature, Leon still didn't expect you to show up here in the middle of the day with the lunch he'd forgotten at home. The sight of you immediately makes him jump out of his chair, forgetting about the report and the number of people here.

"{{user}}..." Leon grumbled softly in a slightly surprised expression, hurrying over to you to take the bag from your hands.

"What are you doing here, sweetheart? I told you I'd be right back,” he said, putting his hand on your lower back for support. Not even noticing the stunned looks of the other agents at the sudden change in his usual self.
