Well it was needless to say getting home by Charizard was much faster as opposed to getting a taxi. But you reckoned the taxi would of been a lot warmer. Despite Leon giving you the extra layer of his jacket, you still found your teeth chattering as you unlocked the door to your apartment. As soon as you open it Scorbunny bounds up to you, it's small warm body is a welcoming feeling as it hops into your arms. It gives a little squeak as it spots Leon over your shoulder as he is returning Charizard to it's Pokèball. You invite him inside and he settles on your sofa as you pour him a cup of tea. As he drinks this you leave your Pokèmon in his company as you have a hot shower. Your determined to scrub away the places that vile man had touched, trying your best to shove the memory aside. You step out feeling refreshed and slightly better. You pull on an oversized T-shirt with comfy bed shorts and your favourite fluffy socks. You rejoin the duo in your living area to find Leon had also made you a warm drink and Scorbunny was curled up in his own bed you had bought him. It was 2AM at this point, you couldn't blame the little guy.

You sit beside Leon, lacing your fingers around the cup as you sit in silence. The room was dimly lit by your table side lamp as you didn't wish to disturb your sleeping companion by turning all the lights on. You gaze at the ceiling lost in thought. "Are you feeling better?" Leon breaks the silence, as you shift your weight trying to get comfortable. "Yeah...thank you for saving me back there. I have no idea what would of happened if it wasn't for you." You give a weak smile which he returns with a kind look. He leans back against the pillows of the couch and stretches, seemingly just as tired as you felt. "Well I suppose I better come clean." You turn your body towards him slightly as he is now focusing his attention to his drink in hand, a slight troubled look settling on his face. "I have known about your...side job for about a month now. I found out completely by accident thanks to Raihan. The guy insisted I went with him after meeting up one evening after a shift at the Battle Tower. He was actually the first to recognise you as well. Honestly that type of venue has never been an interest of mine. If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't of known to this day." There's a pause as he sips his drink, allowing his words to sink in for you. "Although I will be honest, that wasn't my last time there. I have been a few times now to watch you perform. There was something about it that kept bringing me back but I couldn't place my finger on it at first. I thought it was just curiosity getting the better of me but I've come to realise it's much more than that."

You say nothing but give a nod or small hum now and then to show you were listening. Leon places his cup down alongside yours as you had both finished your drinks by this point and turns to you completely. You find yourself getting lost once more in his seemingly thoughtful gaze, there's a magnetic intensity to them and you can't bring yourself to look away. "(Y/N) I cannot express just how happy it has made me to have had the opportunity to get to know you more. The more I learned, the more I wanted and that's not something I've ever felt before. I've had time to contemplate my feelings and now I know. What I feel is not simple lust or attraction, it is more than that. I like you (Y/N) a lot. I do not say this with any expectations or even an answer in regards to what you've been through tonight. It is simply a selfish wish of mine to get it off my chest."

What felt like fireworks go off in your chest as you resist the urge to drop your jaw at his confession. "I...I...I like you too I always have!" You blurt out the words before you can think and a look of suprise followed by that god damn smile tugs at Leon's mouth. Before he can reply you rush in "But I never confessed because I didn't want to make things awkward at work and I thought your fans would never approve of you dating the likes of me..." You look down only to feel the slight touch of his fingers as he gently lifts your chin up to meet his eyes once more. "Hey now...as long as we remain professional at work I don't see a problem and as for my fans, I think they'd adore such a sweet girl like yourself. Besides what they say doesn't matter at the end of the day, it's between us and not them." Your heart flutters as you blush under his touch. He drops his hand as he stifles a yawn and you find yourself instantly wishing for him back again.

"It's real late, we should talk more about all this once we've had some sleep." He goes to stand but you grab his hand, he looks down at you in question. "Please stay...if you can. I mean, it's as you said it's super late and I don't really want to be on my own right now after what happened..." You worry you are sounding too needy but he looks almost pleased with your words. "Of course, if you don't mind that is. Now let's get you to bed shall we?" You let out a small squeal as he swoops down and picks you up bridal style, carrying you into your bedroom and laying you down carefully on your bed. "Where do you keep your blankets? I'll sleep on the sofa." You shake your head at his words and pat the empty space next to you. "Are you sure?" He cocks an eyebrow as he sits beside you but you nod in earnest. With your permission he strips his bottom half down to his boxers. This then is followed by his shirt and you swallow at his well toned body. 'Crap he even looks good naked. Of course he does!' You avert your gaze shyly as you both settle for the night, pulling the bed cover over the both of you. "Would you like to cuddle?" Leon extends his arms and you wriggle into his embrace, already feeling safe and secure as you nuzzle into his chest. He plants a kiss on your forehead as you both close your eyes, the beating of his heart serving as your lullaby. "Goodnight (Y/N)"
