I'm here for you
Hello, hope you are having a good day. This is about Leo and Mia's relationship.
After season 1
Leo grieved over losing Fred. Mia knew it and could see it. She went to Leo one day.
"Leo, you need to forgive yourself." Mia warned.
"I can't. It's my fault that our family is separated. I should have done a better job watching you." Leo answered.
"Leo, you what you could."
"But it's not enough."
"Fred is out there Leo. He will survive. He's good at that. Niska can take care of herself. She wants to be alone. Max and I are trying to help you but you're pushing us away. We don't want to lose you, Leo."
"But you won't."
"See you just did it. You're pushing us away, Leo. Please let us in. Let me in, Leo. I want to comfort you."
"Mia, I'm fine. I just need time."
"Time to what? Time to push us away?"
"That's not what I meant, and you know it."
"Maybe but I'm here for you, Leo and I want to comfort you."
Leo sat down on the ground and sighed. Mia sat next to him.
"I failed all of you." Leo mumbled.
"No, you didn't." Mia replied.
"Mia, please. I failed. Please don't try to say anything different. I failed and there's nothing you can say that will change that."
"Ok. If you failed, then I failed. I was created to protect you and I failed."
"No. No, you didn't. You didn't fail me. I'm still here."
"Then you didn't fail. All of us are still here but we are starting to live our own lives. It's time you started living your own life too."
Tears fell from Leo's eyes.
"I can't. I don't fit in." Leo rasped.
"Yes, you do. You and Mattie got along very well." Mia stated.
"Only because I had to get you back."
"No, it's more than that and you know it."
"I can't be with her, Mia. You know that."
"I know."
Leo put his head on Mia's shoulder.
"If we were free, would you be with her?" Mia wondered.
"I don't know." Leo answered. "I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For being the shell of a person that I am."
"Leo, you are who you are and we all love you for it. I'm here for you, Leo, and I will always be."
Just before Season 2 episode 8
Leo was very depressed. Everyone was trying to care for him. Mia was caring for him.
"I'm sorry about Ed." Leo mumbled.
"How did you know?" Mia wondered.
"I just do. I know that he broke your heart and that now you are suffering from it."
"It's nothing. I'll get over it."
"Maybe but it still hurts."
Mia sat down next to Leo and sighed.
"I thought that he loved me, but I guess I was wrong. He turned me off and took me to this meeting place. I managed to bring back Anita before those people came. You were right, he wouldn't accept me." Mia explained.
"I said that none of them would accept us and I was wrong. I'm sorry." Leo answered.
"It's not your fault."
"I know. I'm here for you, Mia. Don't forget that."
"I know."
They two hugged and Mia let a tear fall from her eyes. Leo felt the tear hit his shirt and knew what was happening.
"Let it out." Leo whispered. Mia did. "I'm here for you."
THE END
