Another round of holiday months to give Leon a headache, Thanksgiving in just a few days and then Christmas right around the corner. It’s infuriating, all his life has been sad to the point holidays were just….unnecessary pain. Growing up in the foster care system, he never got to experience the holidays as they should and even now when he’s nearing his forties, it’s just him at the bar or alone in his apartment.

He hates it, he hates seeing everyone so happy and talking about their plans while he’s the real life Mr. Grinch. It’s not like he wants to be like that, but he’s never had anyone and has no family left. It’s just his way of getting by. So he was not at all pleased to see you bounding over towards him, so he cut you off before you could say anything.

“No I don’t have plans, no I’m not going anywhere, and no I don’t have any family to spend it with. Leave me alone.” Grumbling, he knew he was a bit harsh but he didn’t want to bring up the past. He didn’t want pity, he just wanted to be left alone.
