[ Even if she may not think so, it doesn't change the fact he will always believe her to be perfect in his eyes. He loves her so much and there isn't a single thing he would change about her. It's come to the point where the only thing he desires is to spend the rest of his life with her. ]
You just had to use my weakness...
[ A blush begins to color his cheeks and he's happy to hear those words. Being called Leon-sama is a major weakness of his and he practically melts anytime she does.
While still cupping her cheek, he leans in for a soft kiss. It may be more gentler than his usual kisses, but it's filled with nothing but his most sincere and passionate love for her. ]
it's such a good expression but i was also like "!?"
[Of course she had to. Because she knows that he gives her the best reactions whenever she does say it because she knows just how weak he is to her calling him that. But he then kisses her in that gentle way of his and she can't help but feel herself melt in his kiss before she pulls away from him to speak, still keeping her voice low and breathy.]
That's because you like it... and I'm bad at coming up with nicknames for you.
I heard from a little birdie that you were hiding something from me and I wanted to see if you'd tell me all about it. After all, you don't keep secrets from your girlfriend, right? ♥
First off, who told you? Tell me. Now. Secondly... yes. There is something I've been keeping from you. I swear I was planning on telling you but between everything that's been going on with Retrospec, I didn't want to overload you with serious talk. I've been waiting for the right time to say something.
You don't get to know that information. I like keeping their head intact.
And you know I wouldn't have minded if you just told me instead of me having to hear it secondhand from someone else. Like I really don't mind, even if I'm going through a lot. I just don't want you to hide important things like that from me.
Excuse me? I think I have every right to know who told you, especially since I'm being talked about behind my back.
I was going to tell you soon but there's always something going on. It's not like I intended for you to hear it from someone else first. I didn't hide it from you with malicious intent.
Fine. I promise I won't do anything to them. All I want to know is who told you.
I already told you my main reason and that's because I didn't want to pile on more things for you to worry about when there's already so much going on. Secondly, I didn't know how to bring up such a serious subject and finally, I just can't talk about it /anywhere/. Even now, I'm uncomfortable speaking about the matter on this blasted network that Retrospec has access to. Also, I can't just talk about it out in public in fear of undercover enemies listening in.
Mio. I live a rough life and I have so much to deal with. Don't make this anymore difficult on me than it already is.
You better not. I'll be mad if you do. It was Ishimaru, by the way.
Geez. You're an idiot, you know that? If you have a rough life and have too much to deal with, I want to be able to help ease your burdens, Leon. You've helped me so much, even when I really don't deserve it. I've always told you, didn't I? That I want to return the favor. That I want to help you just as much as you've helped me.
So please. Let me worry about you. I don't care if it adds more on my plate. You're my boyfriend. You're the most important person in my life. That's all that matters to me.
Who does that idiot think he is?! He has no right to be talking about my personal life to other people. So, what did you two say about me? Considering this isn't the first time you've spoken ill about me to someone else behind my back. I'm sure it was something bad.
[ Since he made a promise to her, he's not doing to do anything to him. But that's sure not going to stop him from saying a few words to him the next time he sees the guy.
As for the latter half of his sentence, he's referring to the text message he got from Ava later on because what the hell Mio??? ]
... Alright. Fine, if you really want to then I'll allow you to worry about me. I don't want you to get involved in the bad things I do, okay? But if you can help ease my worries, then I really appreciate it.
You're the most important person in my life, Mio. So, I couldn't bear it if something bad happened to you.
Well, I was wondering if your rival would want to compete in getting me the cutest plushie for my birthday. I think he might have been a little worried when he told me...
[She kind of likes igniting that competitive streak?? It's kind of fun and maybe it's kind of her kink, a little for her to see people try their best for her.]
Even if you don't want me to get involved, I'm going to be getting involved, you know. I'm your girlfriend. Don't push me away like that. I don't want you to have to deal with things like this alone, okay?
Leon just stares at this message over and over again to make sure he's reading it right. Ishimaru? His rival? ]
Why would that pathetic fool be my rival? I'm light years above him in terms of everything, there's no way I would call that idiot my rival.
[ He's not even saying that to be mean- okay yeah, he totally is being a jerk BUT he's also legitimately confused as well. ]
Thanks, Mio. I really do appreciate it. Just promise me you won't get hurt okay? I trust that you can handle yourself but I also fear what might happen if someone were to figure out you were dating the son of the biggest crime organization in Hong Kong.
[ Frankly, he's worried they might kidnap her and use her as hostage. ]
Mio. I'm being serious. What are you talking about? Ishimaru's not my classmate, he doesn't go to school and I'm pretty sure it's because he can't afford it.
[ Y'KNOW because he's trying to pay off a debt to the Zhong family. ]
... I don't want to say you are but if you speak to him now, I guarentee you he will say otherwise. He gambles at a casino because he owes a debt to my family.
Why would I lie to you about something like that?! Is your opinion of me really that low that you would think I would seriously lie to you. We were never classmates.
I trust you. But what I remember is different from what you remember. Leon. You have my notebook, right? Can you check what I wrote in April? Please? I'm scared.
[ Almost immediately, Leon goes to check the journal. What he finds shocks him and he's shaken to the core. He couldn't wrap his head around what was going on.
As scared as he was, he manages to respond fairly quickly, knowing that she has a limit. ]
Mio. I don't know what this means at all. I believe the contents of your journal, but I have no idea what's going on. Because I swear, we've never shared a class together.
