[ Leon-sama... ahhh that sounds really nice. ♥ It doesn't even dawn on him that it's being said in real life because he's having a dream of coming home from a long day of hard work to a very cute Mio waiting for him. So at first, he doesn't respond and instead, hooks an arm around his girlfriend's waist to bring her even closer to him.

It's very feint, but if she listens carefully she might be able to catch him muttering something really embarrassing under his breath. ]

I love you too, Mio...

[ As he was getting to the good part of his dream, he could feel something poking at his face. This causes his eyebrows to visibly furrow and he groans a little. He tries to ignore it but he can't when he suddenly feels a soft pair of hands on his face and fingers threading through his hair. Slowly, he begins to awaken and opens his eyes to a beautiful sight that was straddled in front of him.

He would be happy (and he is!) but right now, he's really embarrassed that she caught him sleeping. In an instant, he's turning several shades of red. ]

Mio?!

[She's actually caught a little off guard when he suddenly pulls her in closer to him and even lets out a little yelp because of it. But it's because she's so close that she can definitely hear those words of his. Definitely going to ask about that as she smiles brightly at him.]

Good morning, sleepyhead.

[Whether it's actually morning or not doesn't matter to her, but she'll at least stop poking his face.]

So, what were you dreaming about? ☆

[There's an underlying of are you going to tell me?]

[ As flustered as he is over the whole situation, seeing her smile is enough to brighten his day. He's not sure how long he's been asleep for, but having Mio be the first thing he sees upon waking up makes him so incredibly happy.

So much that he wishes he could wake up to her pretty face every morning.

He's a little surprised that she was suddenly questioning his dream. Did he mutter something dumb in his sleep? Knowing his luck... he most likely did. He nervously swallows hard and it's even difficult to make eye contact with her because he's so embarrassed over the situation. After a few short seconds, he's able to relax since at least it was Mio that heard him and no one else. ]

Nothing much. [ a beat. ] Just that I had finished a hard day at work and I came home to the most beautiful girl in the world.

[She can't help but laugh a little bit at his words. Sorry, Leon, this is your girlfriend... Although he definitely should be glad that she was the only one to hear his words. It's not as embarrassing as he thinks it is, though. At least, not to her.]

Ah, is that so? [But the dream he had is a lot more interesting to poke at.] You make it sound like that dream of yours was us as a married couple. What, did you imagine that I said something like...

[Wait for it. She needs to do this properly. So she actually brings a hand towards her hair, tucking part of it behind her ear as she lowers her voice to a soft whisper.]

"Welcome home, Master Leon-sama."

[She sounds completely and utterly serious about that statement, but there's something about the way she says it that's dripping with something yearning there.]

[ It's okay Mio, your boyfriend is just as bad and super embarrassing. ]

Yeah, I think we were... [ He's still feeling a little groggy, which helps him in being a bit more truthful than usual. While he's not one hundred percent certain, he's pretty sure they were married in his dream.

But then any thoughts he had were immediately ceased when he feels a soft noise whispering into his ear and he really likes what she's saying.

The words 'Master Leon-sama' never fails to be a major weakness of his and it takes everything for him not to let out a noise just from hearing it. In a way, he could sense the yearning tone in her voice and it causes him to cup her cheek and press his lips against hers for a kiss that practically screamed he was longing for her.

It's short but full of emotion. Honestly, he doesn't want to pull away but it takes every inch of him to tear himself away from her lips so he can respond to her bold statement. ]

What if I did? What are you going to do about it?

[Oh, hearing him be honest like this is actually really... nice. Especially since she expected him to be flustered just a bit. Not that she thinks that he isn't, but he answered a lot easier.

What causes her to be slightly surprised, however, is when he suddenly kisses her, with a desire that almost makes her want more. It's not unwarranted, but it's-- well.

She knows they can't be like this for long, since someone might actually walk in and that would just make her even more embarrassed than she is right now. And Leon is not helping in the slightest bit. Especially since they're already so close and tangled up like this...]

That's- [Geez. Why is he making this so difficult.] I'll tell you later. When we might not get potentially walked in on.

[Just let her get off of him first so she can just stop being in a potentially compromising position so she can just sit next to him properly.]

I did come here to talk to you, though. Not just to poke fun at you. Ahh, it's too bad I didn't take a picture of your sleeping face, though. It would have made a really cute wallpaper.

[Giggling a little bit to herself, she claps her hands together, bringing her fingers towards her already red cheeks which fade as her expression turns a little serious.]

I actually remembered something, so I wanted to talk to you about it. Is now okay?

[ When she removes herself off his lap, he feels a little empty and is already missing her warm body tangled up with him. Of course, he doesn't blame her in the slightest. As much as it pains him, this wasn't the time and place to be fooling around since anyone could potentially walk in on them.

So as soon as she sits next to him, he wraps an arm around her shoulders and scoots her closer. It's greedy but he's not going to be satisfied until he feels just a little bit of her. ]

Then tell me when we manage to have alone time. [ At least, he hopes they are able to have some sort of private time together. The mention of her wanting to take a picture of his sleeping face immediately causes Leon to roll his eyes. ] Well, I'm glad you weren't fast enough to do that. Sheesh, you and videos and photos...

[ Even though he loves her #turkeygate will forever be on his mind! Not that he has any room to talk since he has so many cute photos of her saved on his phone.

As soon as she brought up that she remembered something else, Leon frowns for a brief moment. He's already worried. All of the memories she's told him about have not been very good, so he can't imagine what other horrible thing she had to recall. ]

I don't mind, go right ahead and tell me. I'm all ears.

I wanted to make your cute sleeping face as my new wallpaper....

[She pouts a little bit, although it's hard to tell if she's telling the truth or not. Although having him close to her even as they sit next to each other is really nice. She leans in to press her head against his shoulder, frowning a little bit herself.]

Mm... well, I found out that the outfit I got was apparently a waitress outfit.

[There's something about the way she says that which somehow... lingers, there. Like she has more to say, but is holding back a little, just to see how he'll react to this first bit.]

I suppose I don't blame you since I do have a handsome face. Better luck next time, Mio.

[ Despite him being arrogant about it, he's actually flustered at the idea of her using his sleeping face as her new cellphone wallpaper. But at the same time, he's really happy at the idea.

Though any warm, fuzzy feelings he had were immediately sapped away at this new information. He can't help but stare at her in disbelief and confusion. Because her outfit being a waitress uniform is just about the last thing he thought it was going to end up being. ]

... That was a waitress uniform? [ He's still trying to process it. ] The owner of that restaurant must have been a pervert.

I'll definitely get you next time. I swear.

[She sounds so serious that it's as if she's making an oath to herself, and the fact that she is even pumping her hand inwards in determination is rather telling, too.]

It was. The place was called Angel Mort and it was a desert cafe. Also if you're saying that, then you're probably right-- but the fact you said it means that you really liked seeing me in it, didn't you?

[ Since it's Mio, once she has her mind set on something he full knew that she's determined to get what she wants. As annoying as that can be at times, he does find it rather cute when she pumps her hand. That reaction is pure adorable even though he's embarrassed about the whole ordeal. ]

You're such a silly girl.

[ With his free hand, he moves it over to pat the top of her head and ruffle her hair. ]

Angel Mort? I must say, that's a rather cute name for a cafe. [ Despite the rather "interesting" choice of outfits. But before he could further comment on that, he's suddenly taken aback by her teasing and is immediately turning a bright shade of red.] What I said has nothing to do with that you dummy!! Anyone would make that same conclusion!!!

So the answer is yes, right?

[She decisively pokes him in the heel playfully as she says that.]

[ He doesn't say anything and instead, flicks her in the forehead while letting out an exasperated sigh. ]

Does it even matter? Just tell me what you are getting at with the waitress uniform. Obviously something must have happened, no?

[ WATCH THIS NERD ATTEMPT TO AVOID THE QUESTION. ]

[Mio finds herself frowning when he flicks her in the forehead.]

It does matter. I mean, I wanted to wear it when we're alone together... But you're right. I just remembered being harassed at work. Although someone helped me.

Then just ask me directly instead of twisting my own words against me, brat.

[ y you gotta be like dis, mio????

But none the less, he loves her no matter what and after some consideration, he finally relents. ]

Fine. I like it, I think you look good in it. [ IT'S SO EMBARRASSING TO ADMIT THAT!!! But hearing the next thing she says causes him to look serious and stare at her with concern. ] ... What happened?

Don't call me a brat. Besides, I did ask and you decided to dodge the question.

[That is exactly why she had to do that. He has nobody else to blame but himself. But she does smile when he says that he likes it. He's getting some headpats for that.

There, there...]

Someone tripped me and made me spill food all on their clothes and even told me to...

[She grimaces.]

...wipe them.

Edited 2018-05-19 05:09 (UTC)

Well you started it by twisting my own words against me in the first place. [ He pauses for a moment. ] Brat.

[ YEAH He's not going to let that go, Mio!! But as soon as he feels her patting the top of his head, he relaxes for a split second before he suddenly feels as though he's being patronized.

That doesn't last long either as he hears the rest of her story. Immediately, he furrows his eyebrows and a very visible frown curves on his lips. There's a visible look of disgust on his face as he lets the thought process in his mind. ]

Fucking perverted sicko. [ Leon rarely ever curses in front of Mio but he's so aggravated that he couldn't be bothered to hold back. ] What did you do?

Call me that again and I swear--

[Although seeing him enjoy her headpats makes her want to do it more. But being called a brat means that he doesn't get those headpats at all!! Sucks to be you, huh? But then he cursed and she honestly... doesn't mind? At least it's not in front of Xiaolang, because then she'd be tugging him by the cheek telling him to not.]

I couldn't do anything. i mean, I probably would have beaten them up if I weren't... on the shift. I was going to comply to wiping his... [She groans, disgusted. She can't even say it and she has to bury her face in her hands.] Kei-chan had to save me.

[ Like he cares!! Because he's not a brat like you, Mio! ]

That's so disgusting. They should get kicked out for that kind of gross behavior. [ HONESTLY Just thinking about the situation just pisses him off even more. It makes him wish he was there to save her and beat the shit out of those sickos. ] Who is Kei-chan? I'm glad that there was someone there to save you, at least.

[Leon? Not a brat? Don't make me laugh.]

They honestly should have.

[And then he asks about who Kei-chan is and she almost laughs a little bit at the fact that he said that.]

You... remember when I told you that I hit someone and yelled at them, right? That was Kei-chan. He's a friend, apparently. Also, 'Kei-chan' is just a nickname.

Edited 2018-05-19 21:27 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Yeah, I remember that.

[ Now it was starting to come together. Truthfully, Leon nearly forgot about the guy and only remembered the event that happened because honestly... he only really cares about Shion and not the other people in her past life. ]

That's good that you had a friend who was willing to jump in and save you from that awful situation. At least, he doesn't seem like a bad friend or anything.

[ Leon likes Keiichi more than Satoshi, anyhow. But that's because he's petty as fuck. ]

He's a little weird from what I remember... but he's not a bad person.

[At least, she definitely doesn't think so.] Yeah. He wasn't the only person that helped, though. But I honestly appreciated that he called his friends to help me out personally.

Weird? In what way?

[ That kind of concerns him a little but maybe he'll let whatever oddity it is slide since he did a lot to save Shion. ]

That is nice of him, though. I'm curious but what did they do? I sure hope that they kicked those perverts out.

He's over the top.

[She says that without any hesitation.]

Well, they basically stopped them from tripping me up and tricked them to get out of the premises.

[ He imagines the perverts being outsmarted by her friends and just the thought alone is enough for him to laugh. ]

I wouldn't want to have your friends as enemies. [ But he can't deny that he held a tiny amount of respect for the group. ] That's good those awful people got their just desserts. It's disgusting what they made you do.
