First Meeting
(Lionheart's P.O.V.)
The guards had come and told me that I was being released. I was so relieved at the fact that I was being let go. But, who would bail me out? I don't have any family members that would care enough, nor do I have anyone close enough to me. Either way, I went with them, signed all the necessary paperwork, collected my belongings, and headed out. Who I saw was someone who I had never seen before. They were just standing there, calmly, as if this was a regular thing for them. From what I know from the paperwork, their name was (F/N) (L/N). I had never heard of them, so they must have just been a citizen who might've actually cared about me.
(Your P.O.V.)
He stood there and faced you. "Hello," he said smiling, "you must be (F/N)"
"Yes, that's me." You responded calmly. Even though he's been in there for a month, he seems to have a polite demeanor.
"Look, you're free to go, so get going." One of the guards said in an annoyed tone to Lionheart.
"Oh, right. Yes, uh, how will I be getting home?" He asked.
"Why don't I drive you?" He looked over at you and smiled.
"Ah, yes, thank you." He said with a slight nod. You both headed out to your car. Luckily he fit in the passenger seat.
"So, I feel I should properly introduce myself. I'm Leodore Lionheart. But just call me by my last name"
"(F/N) (L/N), pleasure to meet you." You both shook hands. "So, where do you live?"
(Time Skip)
You had just pulled up. He owned quite a big home. It's no mansion or anything. Lionheart stepped out of the car and thanked you for bailing him out. "Would you like to come in for a drink or two?"
"Oh, um, sure." Over time when you were talking in the car, you seemed to have relaxed a little. He unlocked the front door, and welcomed you inside. Luckily, the electricity was still working, so he turned on the lights. The place was quite homey. To your right there were two couches seated around a medium sized flat-screen TV. To your left was a bar like area with a door that you assumed let to a kitchen. In the back there were a few glass doors leading to a small pool area, and to the right were some stairs both ascending and descending.
He gestured to the bar. "Please, have a seat." You sat down on one of the stools. He went into the back door and came back with what looked like a very expensive bottle of wine. He poured two glasses, one for each of you. He pulled up a stool across from you and sat down. He asked you a few questions, like what you did for work.
"I'm an animator actually." He seemed a little surprised at this. "It pays well, and I get credit for working with popular shows." One of you more famous works was working on the opening for Black Beaver(Black Butler). Then he asked you a question that you weren't expecting.
"Why did you bail me out? After all the trouble I caused." You weren't sure how to react.
"I don't know. Something just told me it was the right thing to do. I felt like you didn't deserve it." He had an expression of shock on his face, which turned into a soft smile.
"Either way, I can't thank you enough. You can visit anytime." You looked over at him in shock.
"Really? You mean that?"
"Of course. It's the least I could do."You paused for a moment.
"Thank you." As soon as you said that though, you heard the chime of a grandfather clock. "Oh my, it's getting late. I should probably get going." You thanked him for everything and headed for you car. He waved at you as you drove off. You had no idea of what was to come.
