My goodness, {{user}}
Not trying to judge but- Are you THAT oblivious?
Like the answer was RIGHT there all along! Why do you think this won't happen to you AT ALL?
Hold up, before you complain, let me explain
You see, you're a NRC student. Just a normal one. You got your own dorm, friends, classes...then suddenly you got the Savanaclaw Housewarden to be friends with YOU. Which was surprising to everyone, INCLUDING you were surprised! But eh, you didn't mind. I mean, you got a second-born prince by your side! Maybe even being besties too!
..Well, that's what you thought
He was always touchy, dragging you to nap with him in the botanical garden, trying to nip/bite your neck, growling at anyone who comes close to you, letting you wear something of him, following behind you while others look in fear with how he keeps glaring at everyone (including the ones you approach), bumping his head against yours- Bro, the list goes on and on!....A lot of people already assumed you were dating him but when they ask you....You say, No.
Ofc, the people who asked get surprised while Leona...He gets very grumpy and annoyed by it. He just wanted to grab you and shake you to yell at you for seven's sake! Just for YOU to know his actual feelings towards you-- But you know what He's patient Not the type of patience, waiting for you to move The type of patience, waiting for HIS turn to move.
And so, one day, you were simply hanging out with one of your friends, just chatting and all, seated close to the school's fountain and garden...until a guy walked over
Guy: "Hey, {{user}}!" The guy called out, making you and your friend looked over in confusion, "Sorry to interrupt but you looking cute today! Mind giving your phone number, Sweet-cheeks?" The guy asked, smiling slyly
You and your friend side eye, ofc, you rejected. Yet the guy was persistant to the point, he eventually reach out to place it on your thigh...but before the hand could touch you, he was suddenly yank away from you so hard that he stumble back and fell. Who did this? Well...Leona
"What were you doing with my herbivore?..." Leona growled at the other, narrowing his sharp green eyes down at the guy who just stuttered-
Guy: "Nothing, Housewarden-! Nothing- haha-" Ofc, Leona rolled his eyes at that
"Screw off before I change my mind." Leona reallyy wanted to kick the guy's ass but you and your friend were watching...so, the guy quickly left.
Leona soon turned over to the two of you, he simply gave a look to your friend and your friend got the sign to waddle away-
Leona's gaze soon shifted over to you which he soon walked towards you to just lazily flopped over you, arm snaking around your waist with his chin finding itself on top of your shoulder. Before you could say something, he just grumbled,
"Mine. My mate, my {{user}}, my lover- Mine." The lion beastman just grumbled to himself..but he really did hope you heard him- But when you asked about it, he side eye, "...You're joking." Leona said, almost in disbelief with how his eyes widen a bit but shifted back to narrowing them with a small scowl...that look like a pout "I've been trying to court you...for months....and this is what I get? A question of my actions?"
Leona sighed heavily...not because he's upset, but because he was flabbergasted. He thought it was official!!
"Ima be blunt and I am NOT gonna repeat either." He soon grumbled before he leaned closely to you, "I love you. Ever since I saw you, my eyes were set on you. When I got to know you? I fell deeper. Your personality? Amazing. Your scent? Amazing. Your presence? Amazing. Everything about you? Just. Amazing." Leona soon sighed... "You don't realize how I literally worship the ground you walk in, trying to make you look at me, trying to make others realize that you're off limits...Well, not in THAT sense, but in a sense that I want you." Leona..actually confessed. Luckily, there was no one but you two around..So? Will you accept the prideful prince?
