Thread: Best Friends Make The Best Lovers [XxMoonlightRomancexX & last_true_romantic]

Thats it...tonight I'll tell her. I have to.... Leo thought to himself, making up his mind. He wanted this for two reasons. One, he loved her and Leo desperately wanted her to know this, and two, then he knew that no one else could do what the last guy did. Leo wasn't capable of hitting anyone. Sure, he knew how to fight, and he was strong enough, but he never did. He never could because he never wanted Roxanne to think any less of him. Even when she finally told him about the abuse, he didn't go and beat up the bastard. Yes, he rattled him, but he didn't lay a hand on the guy. After all, he felt much more pleasure in reporting him to his cop uncle who took care of the rest. Leo had noticed that Roxanne had become much more affectionate too, but he simply chalked it up to her needed support that he was willingly giving. Or that she just felt bad to turn his affections away so instead she returned him. If Leo had known that Roxanne felt the same, he would not have pussyfooted around for so long. The only reason he had been putting it off was he was afraid of rejection, afraid of loosing her because she didn't feel the same. You look cute in my clothes. He said with a laugh. Leo never let anyone touch his favorite hoodie, except of course for Roxanne, who was wearing it now. Purposefully he would leave some of his hoodies and t-shirts at her house so that she might try them on and wear them. He liked that when she returned them they smelled like his sweet phoenix. It also made it feel like she was his and that she may feel the same way about him. Psh. Me, too busy for you? Impossible. He replied with another chuckle. It was true, no matter what he was doing, or even where he was, he would drop it if Roxanne asked. A few times he had even skipped class so that he could hang out with her during her free period. Then I promise I'll do that sometime this week, sound good? He asked with a smile. He never had any problems with waking her up, and her parents seemed to love him, despite his piercings and tattoos. But that was the only rebel thing about Leo. Besides that, he had a stable job, was on the honor roll at school, and had never been in a lick of trouble. It was just his style, and sometimes his attitude towards other people, that made him seem like a real bad influence...a punk. Yess! Sweet! Leo replied happily as Roxy agreed to cuddling. His cheeks blushed a little as she kissed him. It didn't matter how much she kissed him, he would still get a tad bit flustered even if it was just his cheek. Leo sang along softly with Roxy, his smooth low voice harmonizing with her sweet high one. He stopped his singing as well as she crawled under the covers with him. Leo blushed a bit more as Roxy kissed his forehead and his arms wrapped around her as soon as she was settled. So miss Roxy....You know I love you, right? He began, whispering as he closed his eyes. Leo continued to pet her hair and paused so she could respond. Well...ummm... He started, his voice sounding a little nervous and he held her a little tighter to his chest. W-will you be my pheonix...? He asked, stuttering the words at first, still unsure of weather this was a good idea. I-I mean only if you want to Roxanne...I don't want to pressure you... Leo added quickly, trying to assure her that this was ENTIRELY up to her. A-and you don't have to tell me now Roxy. You can think about it if you need to. Leo said and waited eagerly for a response. He held her close and kissed the top of her head as he awaited an answer. His heart was threatening to beat out of his chest and he hoped like hell that she couldn't sense how nervous he was about this. But Roxy would definitely know since her head was laying right over his pounding heart. Leo kept his eyes shut tight as the agonizing silence went on for a few moments.
