As the two walked into Leon's place, Y/N couldn't help but look around curiously.

Leon barley lets anyone get this deep in his personal life, so this made Y/N feel special. That and the fact that Leon was just very deep in their guts and came on their stomach, they totally weren't gonna think about that all the time now. Totally.

"The place ain't very impressive, I know." Leon chuckles as he takes his jacket off, and Y/N can't help but admire his physique.

Y/N shakes their head and smiles. "It's nice, its very warm and homey.

Leon smiled and blushed a bit. "Thank you." He chuckled.

Suddenly, the meows of a cat distract the couple, Casket.

"Oh- Y/N this is my kitty, Casket. He doesn't really like people so I wouldn't-" Leon had started, but when he looked back his jaw dropped.

Y/N was holding and snuggling with Casket, leaving Leon stunned.

It took months for Casket to warm up to Luis, about a year for Chris.

Y/N broke the record though, because within five seconds Casket was snuggling into Y/N's neck.

"I guess he likes me." Y/N laughs and rubs the back of Casket's head, smiling.

There was a bit of an awkward silence between them, of course there was.

What do you say to your younger co-worker that you just fucked violently in the break room?

Usually? Nothing.

Most guys in this situation would have just creamed and shuffled, humped and dumped.

But Leon? He didn't want that. Of course he didn't.

His heart was like a dry, barren desert: sandy, hot, empty. He had forgotten what it was like to love, like truly love.

Y/N was like rain, or a stream that ran through his desert of a heart, ending the drought and making him truly care.

Maybe that was crazy, maybe he was crazy.

But he feels so strongly for them, so protective and almost possessive.

He doesn't fully understand it, or why, but he wants them to be his.

And he even wants to be theirs.

Although, when Leon thinks about it hard enough, he feels like a creep.

He's thirty three, what the fuck is he doing fucking his twenty three year old rookie?

Leon liked Y/N for Y/N, but that wouldn't change how it may seem from the outside.

"Can we uh.. cuddle or something?" Y/N asked quietly, breaking the awkward silence.

Leon raised his head, nodding and smiling. "Y-yeah, of course." He said softly and wrapped his arms around Y/N's smaller frame, enveloping their body in his warmth.

He pulled them onto the couch, making them giggle in surprise as he nuzzled into their neck, tickling and scratching them with his ample stubble.

Leon put his hands on their hips, rubbing circles into them with his thumbs and looking into their eyes.

This moment was so intimate, so warm feeling. Leon hadn't felt this in forever.

"Y/N, you are so adorable, you know that?" He asks playfully and cups their cheek with one palm.

Y/N looked up at him with big, happy seeming eyes. Their face had turned red from the sudden compliment and affection. "Thank you.." they whisper softly before burying their head in his chest.
