Leo's POV
I don't understand why Aeris is so pissed, it was just a harmless joke. Okay, maybe not completely harmless, but still, I think she overreacted. I wonder if she'll beat the shit out of me when she gets out of the bathroom.
General POV
Aeris was drying herself off when she heard Leo close his bedroom door. Probably to go mope and cry, Aeris thought to herself. She went into her room to change into some clothes, making sure Leo couldn't see her make the trip between the bathroom and her room. As she had just finished slipping on a shirt, Leo barged straight into her room, scaring her shitless. "FUCK! LEO! Don't you know how to knock?! I was changing! You could've seen something you'll never unsee!" Leo looked off into the distance, pondering. Then a small trickle of blood escaped from his nostril. "Really, Leo? Get out of here, perv." Leo's attention had once again been drawn to Aeris, and she was glaring straight ice into Leo's soul. He let out a small yelp before trying to escape from Aeris' wrath. He went all of about five feet before a pink foot came crashing down onto his tail. He yelped loudly before retreating back to his room with his crushed tail between his legs. Aeris grinned over her small victory.
Leo's POV
Man, why can't there ever be a time where Aeris doesn't abuse me? She's lucky I have feelings for her, or else she'd have been without a roommate years ago. She can't know that, though. Jeez, if she ever found out, she'd drag me all the way down to the ninth circle of hell. I wish she'd give me a chance…
Aeris' POV
Stupid Leo, barging into my room whenever he wants, fucking up my job interview! God, sometimes I wish he was never around! But then… I'd be all alone. Plus, I'd begin to miss him. His laid-back attitude, his voice that always speaks joy even when he's sad, his ashen gray fur, his sparkling green emerald eyes… Wait, what am I saying?! I wouldn't miss him! Not one bit!
General POV
Aeris continually denied her affection for Leo, while Leo sat in his room, staring at the ceiling, completely oblivious to Aeris' feelings. He toyed with his tail a small bit, wishing it would stop hurting. Eventually he got bored and walked into the kitchen to heat up a slice of pizza. He stared blankly at his pizza rotating in the microwave when he heard a shuffle behind him. He turned around to see the Pink Fury of Toronto gazing at him. She didn't look pissed this time, though. She looked… guilty? She walked over to Leo, continually averting her gaze from him as she apologized to him. "Listen, Leo… I know that you're a dumbass most of the time… but that gives me no right to hurt you the way I do. You're…" She stopped and turned slightly red, as if she couldn't say this. "You're the most important person in my life, Leo. I can't afford to lose you. I'm sorry for the way I treated you." Leo stared blankly at Aeris. "Aww, it's cool. No worries." Aeris' face flushed. "W-what? Just like that, you forgive everything I've done?" "Yeah, pretty much." He looked at her, complete carelessness in his eyes. She turned even more red, her white cheeks now beginning to match the rest of her fur. She was about to spread her arms out and hug him, when the beeping of the microwave interrupted her. "Oh, sweet! My pizza's done!" Leo hurried over to his meal, and hastily brought it over to their couch, where he plopped down and started their Xbox. He started Halo: Reach, one of his personal favorites. Aeris approached him and sat down next to him on the couch. "Hey Aeris? Remember that time you were getting pissed about the Jet Pack people?" She threw up her arms. "Those Jet Packs are bullshit, okay? And don't even get me started on that damn Armor Lock!" Leo chuckled and took a bite out of his pizza as he set up a matchmaking game. "You wanna join?" He asked Aeris with a welcoming tone in his voice. "No, I'm tired. I think I'll just watch you play. Leo's ear twitched. "Alright, whatever you say." He began a matchmaking game while Aeris sat and watched, her mind in other places. She began to slump a little after about an hour, and Leo looked over to her. She was asleep. Leo ignored her and continued playing. After a few minutes, she stirred for a few seconds, mumbled something, and put her head on his lap. Leo immediately paused the game and looked down at Aeris. "Uhh… Aeris?" She was fast asleep. Leo just let her rest there, not wanting to wake her. He wasn't complaining. He heard purring coming from the pink mass rested on his lap. He smiled softly at her. She's a little cute when she's sleeping... Leo changed the TV to Netflix and started a show. He stretched out, looked down at Aeris again, and closed his eyes, drifting away into sleep.
