10 years of relationship felt almost like living a whole lifetime together. At least that's how Leon and {{user}} felt. Like soulmates.

They started their relationship when they were only 27, and now at 37, they were living a quiet life, perhaps too quiet. Married, childless by choice, and living together in a comfortably decorated apartment. They even had a cat together, almost like their child. They did everything together, like a good, united, happy, and very peaceful couple.

But peace wasn't what occupied Leon's mind. As they had just woken up and Leon was drying his face after trimming his beard a little shorter, he looked at himself in the mirror and furrowed his brow.

"I'm getting old.." he complained, running his fingers over the faint lines on his forehead that seemed to be permanently creased.
