Chapter Text
When they got home, the sun had already set. They lingered a bit on the way home to watch the sun fall between the buildings among them.
Immediately after arriving they went separate ways. This isn't unusual.
Luis was just about to go take a shower when he heard his name being called from Leon's room. Instead of replying with words, he quickly walked into the other's room. When he walked in, he saw Leon there laying prettily on his bed, lying on his side with knees scrunched up near his chest. After seeing Luis standing, unusually quiet, by the door he moved positions. Now sitting on the side of his bed, closer to the door. Nobody spoke, Luis was just trying to read Leon.
This isn't the first time this has happened. Once upon a time Luis came in and immediately opened up his mouth, but has since learned to patiently read the other, instead of asking questions so suddenly.
It was going to be one of those nights, Luis vaguely thought. Leon was the first to break the silence, staring somewhere near Luis, but not directly at him. "Hey" is all he said. Luis replied, still standing at the door, having trouble reading Leon now. "Do you need anything, cowboy?" He said playfully, and unsure if that was even the right move. It may be a challenge to speak to Leon sometimes, but Luis didn't mind challenges whatsoever. Leon quickly wanted this to be over with, so he abruptly asked "Did you want that to be a date?" He gulped at the question himself, hoping Luis didn't notice. Instead of speaking, again, Luis walked towards the bed and sat next to Leon. Now speaking with a huge grin on his face, turning his head to look at the other, who's face still turned towards the door. "My prince charming, if you ask so sincerely" He said quite jokingly. Leon clearly blushing. Luis continued, "then I would say no". Leon's heart dropped slightly, quickly turning his head towards Luis, who now almost had his whole body turned towards Leon. Before Leon stupidly said something Luis quickly cut him off, grabbing his shoulders, breaking one boundary, Leon wouldn't mind in the moment. Really he never did when it came to Luis touching him. Luis still grinning widely "I would want our date to be more romantic, no?" Slightly chuckling afterwards. Leon was staring now, directly at Luis, directly into his eyes. His face slightly twitching into a smile, not ashamed to hide it anymore, he fully smiled now. Later Leon would deeply think about how Luis made him go through an emotional rollercoaster, but now wasn't the time. Luis unsure what he could do now, not knowing Leon would truly allow him to do anything. Leon would finally let Luis know, by grabbing the other's hand, that was resting on his shoulder, to move it towards his face, so he would be gently held. Leon's face fully resting in Luis' hand. Then Leon's now free hand on the back of Luis' head, gently, with thick hair between his fingers.
Luis let it all happen, almost in amazement, Leon making the first moves. After being still for Leon for so long, he couldn't take the close proximity, so he closed the space between them. Their lips pressed gently against each other, for Leon to then press on, literally nudging Luis further in with his hand against the back of his head. Both holding each other almost, to finally break away with a slight gasp from Leon. Leon just blinked, his mouth still agape. Luis continued to stare, probably repeating in his head how he doesn't deserve this at all, not after Umbrella, not after the pain he caused- Leon pressed their mouths together again, interrupting Luis' guilt soakin' thoughts. At this Leon gained a quiet, but definitely there, moan. After that Leon wanted more, becoming slightly greedy. Clashing into each other less gently, both now moaning ever so often into each other's mouths. Still in contact, Leon repositioning himself to fall on his back, bringing Luis down with him. Luis also repositioned, his thighs straddling Leon's waist. Breaking their needy mouths away only for moments to breath, then gasping back into each other.
Then it hit Luis, breaking their mouths away from the kisses. Leon no longer had his hands against the other's head, he instead had moved them to hold Luis' waist. Luis' hands were letting go from the other's shoulders, his body rising away from close proximity, now only straddling him.
Luis' looked down at him, both panting for air, Leon's chest moving up and down. "Leon..." He said, almost sounding like a sigh with so much air. Leon's eyes were wide and slightly wet, his cheeks and lips almost the same color. Luis almost looked ashamed with how the other looked, how he could make the other look. Leon's mouth slightly agape still and eyes holding eye contact, "Luis?". Luis placed a hand on Leon's chest, almost to hold himself back, from doing anything further. "Luis", Leon repeated, less questioning. Luis hid his shame and guilt with another grin, "Leon" "we haven't even had our first date". Luis wanted to carry on and could clearly see Leon wanted to do so too, so clearly that it almost looked as if he was going to say 'do you not want this?', but was cut off by Luis. "Leon" Luis really enjoyed saying his name, and Leon enjoyed every time he did too. "Leon, I want this just as much as you clearly do, but we must pace ourselves, cowboy". He dragged on the 'you clearly do' cheekily.
Leon sat up at this, Luis still on top of him, moving his hand to now hold his head, fingers brushing the dirty blonde hair. Then leaning into Leon's, still pink, lips. It was a softer, solemn, kiss that ended shortly. The taste and the purpose would both last savoringly in each other's mouths and linger in their thoughts.
Luis moved to instead brush the other's face gently with the back of his hand. His other hand cupping his face. Leon no longer held Luis' waist but instead positioned himself where his elbows were holding him up.
Leon still held eye contact, this is the longest he's done so in awhile. Luis did the same, searching for what Leon saw in him.
"I love you" Leon said, breaking the silence with almost a whisper, but loud enough to mean something.
Now both bodies lay on the bed, on their sides, instead of one laying on top of the other. Luis holding Leon, arms wrapped around him. Chests against each other, feeling the rise and fall of their breaths. Luis' fingers now playing with Leon's hair, gently moving it from his face, as they both stare at each other. "I love you too" Luis quietly said.
They would both continue to stare at each other's face, taking in everything. Leon taking in the cigarette smell of Luis, and Luis taking in Leon's features with pink scattered all along his cheeks and nose, coming across moles and perfections. Everything being analyzed with drifting senses, as they both slowly fell asleep.
