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

Roxanne had no clue that he he was planning to tell her how he felt about her tonight as they sat together on her bed. It wasn't like she needed him to tell her, though. Although she was still denying it by telling herself that he could never be in love with her because she wasn't the perfect girl for him, deep down she knew that he loved her and wanted to be much more then friends. His other reason, though, would surely be something Roxy wouldn't expect Leo to talk about. One thing she didn't seem to pick up on since breaking up with her ex was how much more protective over her Leo had become, just like a lion would be over his mate and it was clear by the way the two of them acted around each other that it wouldn't belong until they were boyfriend and girlfriend. When Roxy had told Leo about the way her ex had been using her as his personal punching bag she was shocked to see Leo maintain control and not hunt the guy down and beat the shit out of him, but then again Roxy knew that wasn't how Leo did things. Of course, she didn't know about Leo going to the guy and rattling him a bit before going to his uncle who was a cop. All she knew about it was that Leo had went to his uncle and that he had taken care of it. Truthfully, Roxanne didn't want to know anymore details besides that, either. Something else she didn't know about was what was Leo's reason as to why she had become more affectionate and of course what he thought couldn't be farther from the truth. Thank you. She said in response to what she felt was a compliment before smiling up at him. Roxy knew how he prized his favorite hoodie and yet she knew that whenever she wanted to take it she could do it and he'd be fine with it. Roxy didn't know that he purposely would leave both hoodies and t-shirts here, hoping she would try them on but when they were left it was almost always guaranteed that she would be wearing them around the house and even to school and other places outside. One of the many things she loved about Leo was how he didn't mind his clothes smelling like a girl when she returned them. The reason she wore the things he left? It made Roxanne feel like she was Leo's girl, even though the two of them weren't an official couple just yet. Hey, it could happen! She said before laughing, knowing that it would never happen. There was no way that Leo would ever be too busy for her. On quite a few occasions he had even skipped class to spend time with her during her free period. Sounds good to me. She said before kissing him on the cheek, now happier then before knowing to expect to be waking up to him at least one morning this week. Her parent did indeed love him and her mother and father wished that the two of them would get together already. It seemed to be a reoccurrence that everybody saw how perfect Roxanne and Leo would be together except them. Sure, there were some friends that had told her how bad Leo was for her but she paid no mind to them, clearly valuing Leo much more than any of her other friends and rightfully so, the two had been best friends their whole lives. Roxanne couldn't help but smile down at Leon when she agreed to cuddle with him, one of the things she found cute about him was how his eyes seemed to light up anytime the two of them were together. When she kissed his forehead she did notice that his cheeks blushed a little, but she understood why he did it because she was the same way. No matter how many times he kissed her she always found herself flustered when he did it, even if it was just a simple kiss to the top of her head or her cheek. When Leo stopped his humming to sing along with her she couldn't help but smile to herself. Something Roxanne always seemed to notice when the two of them would sing something together was how their voices harmonized perfectly, his smooth, low voice covered any imperfections her voice had and her sweet, high voice did the same for him. Once she was under the covers with him though they both stopped their singing and she looked up at him, feeling safe and protected once more when he wrapped his arms around her after she was comfortable. Yes, Leon, I know you love me. Roxanne replied, in a whisper, the same tone he had asked his question in. As she replied she could feel him still playing with her hair and she found comfort in it. When Leon started to speak though she almost instantly picked up on his nervousness and it was then that Roxy began to really wonder what he was about to ask. The next thing she knew she was being held tighter to his chest before hearing Leo speak again. When Roxanne heard him ask she was shocked to say the least, but not in a bad way. Roxy let him finish speaking before replying. Of course, she had her mind made up as to what her reply would be as soon as he asked the question. She had already known that this was completely her choice without Leo even saying so. I don't need time to think about it and I want to tell you now. She began as she looked up at him, into his eyes. Leo, I would love to be your Phoenix, that is as long as you would want to be my lion. She said with smile as she felt his lips touch the top of her head. Of course she knew how nervous he was just because of where her head was laying on his chest. Not waiting for an answer from him she lifted her head from his chest and treated him to a tender, loving kiss.
