I actually wrote Leo's monologue up on the notes of my phone and it had been sitting on there for so long but I finally decided I wanted to post it somewhere! My original intent was to just post the monologue but then my brain was begging me to write Karai's response and I ended up with this. It's short and sweet but I really enjoyed writing it and hope you do too! They literally have taken me over XD


"I'm just so drawn to you. And not just like oh I wanna fuck you but more like I wanna just be around you. Just to talk to you and be close to you. You're so beautiful and enchanting and the kind of person I've been looking for. I've never ever met anyone like you before and I never thought I would, mainly because I never thought someone so breathtaking and perfect could ever exist. But of course you just blow me away again by proving me wrong about that too. Look, you don't have to love me back, but I sure as hell love you and want you to know that. And if you don't pick me that's fine but just make sure you find a guy that'll treat you right. That'll appreciate the gift he's received. That realizes what a treasure you are. That wants you for more than just you're amazing body. That finds your conversations, no matter how insignificant, so endearing. That looks into your eyes and wonders how he'll ever look away from them again. That finds pure joy in touching every perfect curve on your body. That is happy to just kiss your forehead. A guy that'll wake up every morning going 'holy fuck I get to belong to Karai'. Because if he doesn't then he obviously doesn't deserve you. He won't treat you the way a guy should so don't waste your time with him. As long as you get someone that'll give you all of that, it doesn't have to be me. But know this: I may not be the greatest person out there. In fact I know I'm not. And to be perfectly honest, I don't even know why you ever bother talking to me because I could never compare to a girl like you. I'm so unworthy. But I know for a fact I would never do anything less than that. I can swear to God about that. The last thing I'd do is take you for granted. Because if there comes a day where your asked your name and your response is 'I'm Mrs. Leonardo Hamato' that'll be the happiest moment of my life. And something I'll never get used to hearing."

His words echoed through her mind. They were so reckless and foolish and stupid but that's what made them so unbelievably and terribly real. Her chest tightened intensely as she internally screamed as loud and long as she could.

Why?

Why did he have to do this to her? Why did he have to be so damn attached to her? To love her so much he's willing to never have her again if it meant she was happy? That was the worst thing he could say because that just showed how real and honest he was. How much he truly cared for her. But why? She was such a messed up, insane, totally crazy person. She had so much shit going on and so many problems that no one should have to deal with. Why would he choose her over anyone else on this planet?

Fuck you Leonardo.

Her mind chanted over and over. She was so mad at him. She wished he would just go away. That they never would have met. Then, she wouldn't have to deal with all this confusion. She wouldn't have to hear him speak nonsense to her. Wouldn't have to question her decisions. Wouldn't have to get mad at herself for actually considering that idea that she may honestly love him too...

Love him?

Could she really, honestly love him? She looked into his eyes, as they stared into her. He was so open right now; stripped away of any walls. She was simply looking at Leonardo, every part of him. The good, the bad, the... Fool.

She wanted to respond to him. She needed to give him something, but no words could describe how she felt in that moment. Then she realized the only way to ever let him know how she felt...

Her lips crashed in to his like a wave slamming on a rock. She kissed him harder than anyone she ever kissed before. She told him so many things with each movement of her lips; each flick of her tongue. She told him how much she thought about him everyday, how much his eyes made her tingle inside, how the thought of him made her go crazy with joy, and how absolutely dangerous every moment, every word that had been spoken that night, was. But most of all, she told him how she'd rather die knowing she was his for even a short while, than to live an eternity without him.
