Waiting for the sun (Leondre Devries)

6- warming up

Y/n pov
In the five minute walk from the coffee shop to his house, we got majorly caught in rain. Like, everything was wet. But I must admit I wasn't really well equipped for rain. Ripped jeans, Metallica shirt and no jumper, tattered converse. And from the minute leo unlocked the door, I was absolutely blown away. The house was immaculate. I thought he's like in a flat or something but it was massive!! Like a mini mansion or something. Leo seemed to pick up on my fascination.
'You like this? Wait too I show you my other place. I share another with Charlie.' He sounded smug, but not like he was boasting. I decided to ask one of the questions burning at my mind.
'Can I meet Charlie?' I ask. He smiles.
'Well he's coming over tonight and if you're still here, nothings stopping you.' He smirks. He must find himself hilarious. I mean, I do.
'Go shower and I'll order a takeaway. Any preference?' He asked, his shaky voice making it evident how cold he was.
'Dominos? And are you sure you don't wanna shower first. You seem colder than me.' That earned me a look.
'Ok then.' I was uncomfortable as I didn't know the layout of the house. Leo took me by the hand and began to lead me towards the stairs. My guilty conscience kicked in. I abruptly stopped, pulled of my dripping converse, yanked my soaking socks and dropped them in a pile of wetness. Again I earned a look.
'Don't worry about mess. I just need to get you warm. You'll catch something otherwise.' He genuinely cares about me. No one had since Reuben has cared.
The bathroom I used was an en-suite in what I assumed was his room.
Now comes the hard part. While trying to surgically remove my soaked skinny jeans, I could here lyrics falling from Leo's lips in his room. He was probably changing.

Keep smiling, keep smiling
and we'll see what tomorrow brings
keep smiling, keep smiling
and be thankful for the little things
cause we won't be around forever
so come on all let's join in together
keep smiling, keep smiling
and remember all the good old days

After my shower I stepped out to find a massive grey jumper and a black shirt. The shirt has probably been chosen because it was the closest to my size. There was a pair of black tracksuits too. Only when I was dressed did I notice my freshly dried socks. Aawwwww he dried my socks for me!! They were black and fluffy. Sometime while I was smiling over the sad fact that I was exited over socks the door opened.
'Can I wear my woolly socks too??' He said, the excited tone evident. I giggled at that. While we both put our socks on, he explained that he feels wierd wearing fluffy socks alone. I found that rather cute. Only when I stepped out of his room and walked past a mirror, did I think of what I looked like. Jumper down to my knees and tracksuits. I looked... comfortable. Leo came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. It felt comforting and protecting, like with his arms around me, no one could touch me. And he was fit. Like majorly. He was now wearing a grey hoodie with strings on and grey tracksuits. Fluffy socks, the same as mine!! I Looked at his face in the mirror and caught his eye. As I began to blush, I also realised he had been looking at me.
'Take a picture, it lasts longer, hotshot.'
I said laughing. He blushed. Eeuuuggghhhh. He surprised me though, saying 'Maybe I will.' He then whipped out his phone and took a photo of us. Click. I was taken unprepared though. I looked terrible.
'But my hair...' I began. Leo put his finger to my lips.
'You look amazing. Don't be ashamed.'
He was so sweet and I let a red blush engulf me, succumbing to a cheesy smile. The same had happened to him and we were both left standing there like some crazy hoodie wearing tomatoes. Click.
