"Don't worry, I'm almost done with work," Leon assured you, resting his hand on yours. His olive skin was complemented by the wedding band on his finger. He gave a loving smile before shooing you off, chuckling as you walked away in defeat—not wanting to mingle with you in his work or let you into his personal life.

Work seemed to be on the decline; Leon was called into the field for physical work less and less. This led to him gaining a few pounds. Doing paperwork was fine with him—it allowed him to relax. At home, however, he felt on edge about what would come next, but he enjoyed the time with you nonetheless: simple movies, dates, bathing together. He adored every second of it. Feeling safe and loved in his arms was the reason he lived anymore.

He lived for dates like these—a lover curled up at his side and greasy food on the coffee table. Keeping a hand on you and an eye on the TV. It was interesting, to say the least, having a small play fight over choosing both food and a movie like it was a matter of life and death.

Leon hummed, taking a sip of non-alcoholic beer before a grimace settled on his face. Non-alcoholic should've been a straight-up alcoholic; it tasted like crap. You were supposed to mix it with alcohol, anyway! How was he supposed to enjoy a non-alcoholic' night with {{user}}?

"I'm never trusting non-alcoholic beer after this. This is just sad," he bemoaned, his head falling back against the sofa with the beer bottle tipped away from him.

Leon stared up at the ceiling for a few seconds before turning his head to the side to look at you, watching TV like he wasn't annoying. You were too good for him, letting him rest his head on yours with a dopey smile. "You're not shit though... Better than beer and this overpriced food."
