Fall Into Me

Chapter 16

Definite NSFW warning, much like the rest of the story will be, also I swear this isn't trauma bonding 💀

"Ready for bed?" He asks you as you come out of the bathroom from doing your night routine.

"Hell yeah." He laughs lightly as you turn out the light, flopping into bed.

"C'mere cuddle cake," he asks cutely, his hand grabbing your arm. You roll over into his hold, feeling secure in his arms once again. "You're stuck with me all night, kay?"

"No complaints here," you say, burying your face into his side. "I really don't want to go to work."

"I know, but you said you have to save your sick days," he says, rubbing your arm.

"Yeah. Ugh, do I tell everyone what happened? It's like spreading gossip, but if I lie, it'll be hellish rumors. There's no in between with these people," you complain.

"People talk. Always will. Just let them know you're safe, and that your hunk of a boyfriend wasn't the one that hit you," he half jokes.

"Boyfriend huh? That'll get people talking for sure," you giggle.

"They'll question it anyway when I drop you off."

"Can I trust you to drive my car? I've seen what happens when you get behind the wheel," you tease.

"Hush." You giggle once again, and he chuckles quietly. Did he... Just declare himself my boyfriend? Holy shit, Leon's my boyfriend??

"Leon?"

"Yeah?"

"Are.. you're serious about being my boyfriend?"

"I am. As long as you're serious about being my girlfriend." You blush, looking up at him.

"Of course I am."

"That's relieving," he laughs. You sit up slightly and he leans in to kiss you, sparks flying all through your nervous system. He pulls back, looking at you softly.

"Listen I'm... New to this stuff. I've never really had anything like this. Trust, love, it's foreign to me."

"I don't care. I'll show you it's okay to build trust. You're starting everything new, remember?" He smiles slightly, tension leaving his muscles.

"Thank you, y/n. I feel like I have a shot at making it in this world as long as I have you." You smile back, shaking your head. "You gave me a chance."

"I'll give you much more than that, Leon."

Oh?

A dirty smirk lines my lips, and she rolls her eyes. I place a hand on her jaw and kiss her once again, feeling her body weaken for me. And God, am I weak for her. Chill out down there bro!

"But seriously," she starts. "If you don't mind me saying it, I do see a future with us. I know we'll figure everything out." What kind of future? Moving out on our own? Marriage? Or... Us getting along for a long time? "Don't go overthinking that, Mr. Kent."

Was it that obvious?

"Hah, well I feel the same. I could put up with you for a while I guess," I tease. She rolls away, pushing her hand in my face. I playfully bite her finger, and she whips her head back, yanking her hand away.

"Ouch, you got shark teeth or something?" She laughs.

"Wanna find out?" I ask, my hand creeping down her neck, fingers dragging, sending goosebumps. They stop, her gaze softening as her mouth parts. Really Leon? She just went through a traumatic experience. You can't take advantage of her like that.
