76. Beauty
Beauty is full of misconceptions.
Leo has heard almost everyone he know describe their ideal girl or the best possible looking guy there could be. Every single one of them is different, every person places value on different things, likes a certain characteristic more than others. Some are influenced by the media, others by their friends, some by their family or the way they grew up.
Beauty, to Leo, no matter what, where, when, or how, is fake.
Because somebody who's beautiful to one person could be downright ugly to another. Or one person may define beauty as something completely different to another. Someone might think brown eyes are gorgeous while others think hazel can't be matched.
It's not something Leo puts much stock in, the concept of beauty. When someone tells him something or someone is knock out gorgeous he usually waits until he's seen it for himself to make his own opinions.
But Reyna.
Gods, Leo doesn't know how anyone can look at Reyna and not immediately fall in love with her. He doesn't understand how anyone can look at her and not be attracted to her because she is absolutely, without a doubt, beautiful.
He has kissed every inch of her body. Believe him- he knows.
He has seen every dip and curve, every freckle, every scar. Every bruise and imperfection and perfection. Leo's seen them all.
And he thinks every single one, every mark, is absolutely stunningly beautiful.
Is Reyna beautiful?
She has her bad days but most of the time (all of the time, he's just trying to save some pride here and not look like a love struck fool) she's stunning.
And how does Leo know that beauty is a unique perspective?
Because Reyna looks at him and thinks the exact same things he thinks about her.
