Leon Court " Ah, but what reason does he have to believe that you love him back?" she asked, grinning as she faded away into the air. Seconds later, Leon's eyes fluttered open. He sat up, blinking groggily at Nikolai and tilting his head. " What's wrong?" he asked, setting one hand on the Sin's cheek. " You look like you've just seen a ghost."

ϨʟфϮɧ  Nikolai cringed. What... What kind of question was that? Leon knew his feelings for him! ...Right? Did he even know his own feelings for him? He knew they weren't normal, and they scared him, but... love? The Sin fell out of his thoughts when Leon sat up. He stared at the man and tried not to wince when the hand reached out for him. Images of the bruise on Maggie's neck filled his mind. Could Leon have really done that? Was it possible that he wanted to do that to him after what happened with Michael? Nikolai furrowed his brow. There was another feeling in his heart, a heavy and cold one, and he recognized this one. It was fear. " I'm... I'm fine, dearie. I just had a nightmare." Nikolai assured and looked away.  ............................................................................... ...............................................................................

Leon CourtLeon was taken aback when he saw Nikolai just barely wince, as if he was trying to stop himself from it, when he touched his cheek. He blinked several times and took his hand away, letting it fall back to his lap. " You? Have a nightmare? I thought the King of Dreams had the ability to control his own," he tried to tease before running his hand through his hair. " So, would you like to get started for the mall soon? I want to get there before it's too crowded and we have to elbow our way through crowds of people."

ϨʟфϮɧ " Y... Yes, dearie, that sounds like a marvelous idea." Nikolai murmured, though he still didn't look at the man. He got out of bed swiftly and pulled his clothes on silently. Why was he being distant? Did he truly, honestly fear Leon right now? Now, that simply couldn't be! Leon wouldn't harm a fly, he was such a loving person that the very thought of him hurting the Sin was almost laughable! And yet... He could not deny what he saw on Maggie's neck, and Leon's repeated words seemed to harbor the same malice that could drive anyone to... that. " Shall I drive or you?" Nikolai asked as he finished loosely pulling his tie up. ..............................................................................................................................................................

Leon CourtSlightly stung by his boyfriend's sudden repulsion to him, Leon slid out of bed and tugged his clothes back on, standing and pulling his jacket on over his strong arms. " I'll do it," he said, reaching for the door and opening it for the Sin. " I need to get back into the habit anyway, and you're a little jumpy." He held out his hand, the strong palm waiting in the air. " Can I have the keys?"

Leon CourtSeeing that near flinch, Leon finally had enough. " Alright, what the Hell is wrong with you? You've been acting like I'm going to hit you or something!" He crossed his arms, closing the door with his hip and leaning on it. " Nikolai, what's going on? You know I'd never hurt you."

ϨʟфϮɧ The Sin reached for the door when Leon closed it, making him recoil his hand in surprise. He looked at the bigger man for a moment then looked away at his last statement. " I... I know, dearie." he murmured and gripped his right arm. He supposed there was no hiding it. Taking a moment, Nikolai closed his eyes and took a deep breath. " Leon, how did your wife die?" he asked without looking at the man. ..............................................................................................................................................................

Leon CourtLeon blinked, then bowed his head and ran a hand through his hair. " How did I know you'd ask me this question one day?" he sighed, the gestured tot he bed. " Sit down. This... this isn't an easy story." Leon's violet eyes rose to Nikolai, watching him. " Maggie was pregnant when we got married. I was still a virgin, and it broke my heart into pieces that she would give herself to someone else. As soon as I found out, I left the honeymoon suite, unable to even look at her. She tried to chase after me, grabbing me, trying to hold on, but I pushed her away. I couldn't handle her. Suddenly, someone grabbed my should and threw me against a wall, holding me there by my neck. I didn't know who it was until I heard his voice. It was her father, my new father in law. He forced me to tell him what was wrong, why I was rejecting his daughter, but I wouldn't tell. Next thing I knew, I was tossed into an elevator, and I spent the night in a motel down the way. The next morning, I came back to find her dead on the floor, her neck bruised. It figures that her father got her to tell him that she was pregnant with someone else's child, and he was so ashamed that he killed her. Tried to pin it on me, but there were tapes of me leaving the hotel long before she died, and of me checking in to the motel. He was tried, convicted, and put in prison where he still is." Stopping to take a breath, he tilted his head at his boyfriend. " Why... why would that even come to mind?"

ϨʟфϮɧ Nikolai watched Leon as he told his tale, taking in every emotion that flickered through his face; the regret, the betrayal, the hurt and pain, the pure sadness. There really was no way Leon could harm anyone. But if that was true, then why would...? " Just earlier she came back. Your wife, I mean." Nikolai murmured and softly looked at his lover. " She told me that you were the one to choke her to death, then she said that I was next." A sad smile came over his face. " Honestly, the way I am, dearie, I wouldn't blame you." ..............................................................................................................................................................

Leon CourtLeon sighed again and walked over, reaching out and wrapping his arms loosely around the man's waist. " No matter what, or who, you do, Nikolai, I will never harm you. You are always safe with me." He kissed the Sin's forehead, smiling. " You silly thing, I will protect you."

Leon Court" Don't you know it~" he purred, holding the Russian close and rubbing his back lightly. " Now then, we should get to the mall so I can get a little spoiled myself."

ϨʟфϮɧ Nodding, Nikolai reluctantly moved from Leon's grip but stayed holding his hand. " Quite. I'm eager to see some clothes on you." he mused as he opened the door. " And off~" he purred the last statement then began heading for the car. ..............................................................................................................................................................
