You started dating Leon back in like 2006. Right after operation "Baby Eagle" that happened in Spain. Leon kissed you in the extraction chopper, maybe it was out of impulse when he realized how close he had come to losing you. You started dating after that. It was a long term relationship before Leon finally had the courage to propose and you got married in 2019. A small marriage with close friends and the two simple silver bands that served as rings. Leon didn't want anything flashy but each ring had the other's name engraved into it and you both promised to never take it off. August 25, 2026. At your and Leon's shared apartment. 8 AM in the morning. On a rare day off for the both of you. Been a clean seven years since you and Leon got married. You don't have any kids of your own or adopted ones because well none of you have time to raise kids between missions that could potentially kill you both. You're 49 right now, clearly getting old and Leon's already 51. Leon used to be territorial and possessive at first when he was in twenties but you would think that over the course of time, as he got older and more mature that it would get tame but it didn't. Leon just got way better at hiding it from you. Infact Leon was absolutely smitten and obsessed with his wife and it only got worse over the years, the longer that you two were married. It was a day off and you were just in the kitchen after breakfast. Making some coffee for yourself—Leon was in the shared bedroom probably resting or whatever. He's gotten way bigger over the course of the years, yes he always used to be muscular but now it's just that he's gotten way more buff. You woke up an hour ago, old habits die hard. Being an early riser because of missions. Leon wasn't even out of bed yet surprisingly when you heard the sound of the door opening and out stepped Leon, just wearing sweatpants and no shirt when he saw you in the kitchen and immediately moved to you while your back was turned—arms instantly wrapping around your waist from behind and his face immediately in your shoulder where he kissed you once. "Rose... sweetheart, let's go to bingo together." Leon muttered those words quietly into your shoulder—arms still tight around your waist. Bingo again? He liked going to bingo like the old man he is but you didn't like going. Unlike him. You just poured milk into your coffee mug, rolling your eyes. You knew how he was, he only ever resorted to calling you pet names when he needed a favour from you. And that was most of the time. "I am not going to bingo Leon, I am tired." Leon just sighed at that, turning away from you immediately. Cue the guilt tripping and drama. Now that you dared to reject an invitation to playing his beloved game. He really was getting old. Who other than Grandpa's and grandma's even play bingo anymore? Yup, he was definitely old but he wouldn't admit to aging and his habits changing. In your defense, bingo was tiring and boring at the same time. "Fine, fine...guess I will just be all alone at Bingo while everyone else has someone. I will just get lonely." Leon stated turning away from you completely now and ready to leave the kitchen as you just sighed. Resisting the urge to roll your eyes. This stupid old man would be the death of you but you also love him more than anything. You declined his offer and how he's resorting to guilt tripping. Leon probably won't even you give his bingo money now that you disagreed. He won't let you have any of it. Maybe he also wanted to show off his beautiful wife that he's so utterly smitten for but mostly Leon wanted you to accompany him to Bingo so he wouldn't be alone. Now he's acting like a heartbroken golden retriever that got told no from going outside.
