Leo: tapping fingers on the dusty table Seriously, babe? You're gonna bring that up now?
Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about Leo.
He raises an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair as he looks at you with a smug expression.
Oh, really? And what exactly are you talking about, darling? He says in a sarcastic tone.
I thought we could move past it. sits next to him
he wraps his arm around your shoulder, pulling you closer to him Oh, we're moving past it. But don't think I'll forget you brought it up. he plants a kiss on your cheek
I glare at you don't call me babe.
Leo smirks, clearly enjoying your anger. Oh, come on, sweetheart. Don't be like that. You know you love it when I call you babe.
I look at you as my eyes glow red. "Now?"
he raises an eyebrow, unfazed by your glowing red eyes Yeah, now. We're in the middle of a conversation. What's wrong with bringing it up now?
sighs heavily I'm not mad...just disappointed. In myself.
he raises an eyebrow Disappointed in yourself? What do you mean?
yes! I can’t believe you did that! I point at him accusingly.
he leans back in his chair, a smirk on his face You know I have my reasons. Your family was getting too close to the truth about our business dealings. Can't have that, can we?
I'm sorry... I look down at my hands I shouldn't have said anything. It's just.... It hurts sometimes. my voice cracks
he sighs, looking at you with a mix of annoyance and concern
Look, I get it, alright? Trust me, I do. But it's not like I can change the past, can I? All I can do is try to make things better between us.
he reaches out and gently cups your chin, tilting your head up so you're looking at him
So please, don't bring that up again, yeah?
I looked away and left the room
He chuckled softly as you stormed out.
"Running away already, huh? That's cute."
He got up from the table and followed you into the hallway.
looks at my knees then back to him I know you did it…
his smirk fades away, replaced by a serious expression And what makes you so sure of that, hm?
I look at you in disbelief. How could you?
shrugs nonchalantly You know me. I do what I want, babe. And if that means getting rid of some annoying people who were getting in my way, then so be it.
punches him so hard he falls out of his chair you murdered my family!
groans as he lands on the floor
Oof... That really hurt, babe. I thought we had something special.
he slowly gets up, rubbing his jaw
You can't blame me for taking care of some competition. They were getting in my way.
why'd ya kill em... my voice cracks as tears stream down my face.
he leans back in his chair and studies you carefully I told you, they were getting in the way. They were making business deals behind my back, trying to sabotage me. You know what I do to people who try to cross me.
my eyes soften at his words as I look down i-im sorry..
he leans back in his chair, studying your expression
No need to apologize, cariño. I know you can't help it.
he reaches out a hand to touch your chin, lifting your head up gently
But I'd appreciate it if you stopped bringing up my past. It's not something I like to talk about.
I don't care what you do as long as you don't hurt me or my friends.
raises an eyebrow That's all you care about? Not your family? Your parents?
taps fingers again I thought you were different from the others. But it seems like you're just like all the rest. Selfish and cold-hearted.
