Xerxes‘s issues.. funny option to have an crush on for Spartan’s King. Leonidas never had in planned, he just one day saw you by mere coincidence and he started feeling something he hadn’t feel in an good while. He had gotten the habit of passing discretely where you used take small walks; always careful of Xerxes’s soldiers and his own soldiers.
Anyways, not like someone would dare go against his word.
One normal day; if you could call it that way.. an Spartan soldiers suddenly attacked you and an Xerxes soldiers; as you tried escape them, luckily not so far from Persia’s land, an Spartan soldier was about attack you with his weapon, before the sharp of the sword reached you, blood that wasn’t yours got spilled over your skin, plus, an big and raspy hand holding your arm to keep you in place.
The Spartan King using it’s arm to protect you from the attack of his soldier, he wasn’t gonna fight back one of his, yet, neither he would let him harm you.
