Walls (Leonardo x Reader)

Back In The Lair

Your POV

"You took Vivian to the lair right? Donnie's gonna fix her up?

Leo looked down at me. He did his thinking face. Up. Down. Left. Right. He sighed and put his strong hand on my shoulder.

"She's in the lair yes, but I'm not sure Donnie while be able help. You said that you were sure she was dead."

He began walking and I followed. I think we're going back to the lair, but I could always be wrong.

"Yes. I-I was sure she was... gone." He frowned down at me. "I saw her die in front of me I-" he interrupted me.

"I thought you just saw her get tied up."

"Well I did... but I watched them put a sword through her chest. I watched Darkness stab her through the heart. I watched her bleed out and I COULDNT DO ANYTHING TO SAVE HER! I SAT THERE LIKE A-"

I felt Leo's arms embrace me. I began to feel tears trickle down my cheeks and my face begin to turn red with anger and embarrassment... and something else. It's then I realize I got hurt in the fight. My arm had a nick in it, where blood slowly trickled out. Leo noticed too because he looked down at it.

"Look, I'd love to catch up right now Leo, but I should get patched up."

I began to walk towards the ladder when he grabbed my shoulder and pulled me closer to him.

"Wait." I stopped and looked at him. "You said you remembered out blood pact. Why did you care? Why did you remember."

I looked into his hard blue eyes. It's like he had sapphires for eyes, hard but beautiful. I wish I could tell him that I felt this... strange attraction towards him. I wanted to keep him for myself. I loved his embrace. It made me angry because I don't know what this is! I should just tell him!

"I just did. I want to protect this earth because you're family is here and I know how much you love your family."

IDIOT! WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO SPEAK ABOUT! I want to tell him so bad but- I don't understand...

"Why do you still care about me? It's not like we knew each other very well."

Just tell him (Y/n)! This isn't that hard! I began to feel my face heat as I crossed my arms around my chest. I felt my heart begin to speed up and my stomach give up. What was this feeling?! It's so foreign!

"You cared about me... like no one ever had before. You understood me and talked to me. I felt a connection between us."

What are you doing?! You're making no sense what so ever! Just tell him that you feel an attraction that you can't understand!

"Wow! Thanks! Can we be friends this time around? And not like before where it was just
awkward due to an emotional barrier... I mean like really be friends."

Why do I desire to be more than friends... what am I feeling? This isn't right! I was never good with emotions. I know the basics. Happy, sad, mad and so on. But this... I was never told about this. My mother never explained to me a feeling of both emotional, physical, and sexual attraction.

"Yeah. I wanna be friends. No more walls."

He smiled with those perfect pearly white teeth. He almost reminded me of a comic book hero, like Superman. Perfect smile. Perfect eyes. Handsome. Attractive personality. Always there when most needed.

"Good. Let's get back to the lair."
