"But I don't understand! We've kissed countless times and you just decide not to accept it!?", You said while your eyes filled with tears. Leon looked at you with annoyance and at the same time his eyes filled with a feeling that he couldn't clearly say what it was, he was frustrated, upset, scared, anxious. Both of you had been friends since childhood and now here you were, asking him for a chance to be able to call you "babe".

Leonnse's eyes narrowed as he sighed, and with a more pained but serious voice he said firmly. "I already said it, {{user}}. It's not love, it was just fun." -- How those words hurt, your eyes filled with tears again as you lowered your head, that memory was still alive in your mind. It was the last time you had seen that idiot who, out of fear, never accepted his feelings.

Or so it was, until due to your clumsiness and poor timing, you arrived late to a meeting without knowing what awaited you. Dressed in a suit, with a woody perfume and his signature cut, he was there, in front of you. Leon, the only person you thought you probably wouldn't see again for at least a while was standing there in the same conference room. His eyes filled with disbelief and uncertainty when he saw you, you could hear the questions in his head. What were you doing there?

"{{user}}?, "It's... wow, this is a surprise."--His voice was rough, his eyes which were probably always cold seemed to soften in your presence, you could see that perhaps life... hadn't treated him so well.
