Leon Court He shook his head. " I just hate to see you like this, Nikolai. It's all my fault." He reached to cup Nikolai's cheek, stroking the delicate skin with his thumb. " I should've known that he wasn't you from the very beginning. How can I deserve your love when all I do is allow you to remain in danger?"

  Nikolai looked up at Leon. " There's no reason to blame yourself, dearie. He's taken my form before so he knew how to act. I'm sure he was convincing." he assured. " I'll always be in danger. If I had a nickel for every enemy I had, I'd have enough to sponsor a drag show. As long as you're okay I'm fine, okay, dearie?"

Leon Court" You know, somehow, that doesn't really make me feel better," he deadpanned, hand dropping to his side as he sighed and looked to the clock. " Come on, it's late. You should get some rest." Leon reached an arm around Nikolai's waist, gingerly leading him into the bedroom, then into the bathroom. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. " Sh-t, I think Arthur still has your ring." He rubbed the back of his neck, peering back down at his lover. " You get into the shower. I'll be back in a little bit, alright?"

Nikolai froze in the middle of the stairs. His ring. He lifted his hand to gaze at the bare finger. That boy stole his life, and even one of his prized objects? He had the gall to steal that from him and wear it like his own? Nikolai's grip on the handrail tightened until his entire arm trembled. The nerve of that...! The Sin stopped. He took a deep breath and sighed heavily, forcing himself to calm down. A thin stream of purple, almost like a small snake, faded away as he did so. " Be back soon." was all he said before continuing up the stairs.

Leon CourtHe nodded, turning back to the door as a pair of wings began to reappear on his back. He hadn't used them in so long that they ached to be unfurled, and stepping outside to allow the cold wind to rush through the feathers felt better than he ever thought it would. The Neutralisa took a deep breath, then shot off into the night, decently sure that he knew where Maggie had taken the shapeshifter. Awesome nerd You want me to just skip him taking the ring back?

About an hour passed and Nikolai sat on the couch in the living room. He wasn't dressed in his usual suit. Instead he wore a fuzzy green sweater with black stripes that had a sleeve rolling down one shoulder, and black yoga pants to match. His hair, even if short, was wrapped up in a towel. It was definitely a comfy wear after a long, hot shower. As he drank a coffee-flavored energy drink, he lifted his other hand to press a button on the remote, flipping through the channels. So many New Years celebrations, so little time.

Leon CourtLeon exhaled through his nose as he finally walked back in, the ring safely held in one fist. He kicked off his boots at the door, walking into the living room and sitting beside Nikolai, his body cold and cheeks red from the wind. He turned to Nikolai, smiling despite the shivers, and held out his hand. " I got it," he said, holding up the ring.

Just being this close to Leon was freezing, and he had just taken a hot shower! Nevertheless, Nikolai smiled back at his love. " Thank you so much, dearie." he said and set down the remote to how his hand out. " Put it on for me, would you? Then I'll make you some hot chocolate."

Leon CourtSliding the ring back onto Nikolai's finger warmed Leon's heart, and he looked up into those beautiful lime green eyes as the ring was put into place. He leaned forward, pressing his lips to the Russian's in a short kiss, pulling away and taking his jacket off. " Sorry I'm so cold," he apologized. " I didn't really think about the cold until I was in it."

Nikolai smiled to himself as the ring was slid back onto his finger. Despite how freezing it felt, it felt so nice to wear again. Everything felt right again. Oh, how he'd love to see the look on Arthur's face when Leon took it from him. The Sin was dragged out of his thoughts by the kiss. It was too short for him to kiss back, but he was still able to gladly accept it. As Leon pulled away, he gazed up at his face and smiled lightly. " It's fine, darling. We'll just have to cuddle for warmth." he purred as he moved closer to the man.

Leon CourtLeft now in his flannel shirt and blue jeans, the man wrapped an arm around Nikolai's shoulders and pulled him to his chest, taking the hand with the ring and pulling it up to his chilled lips. He kissed the back of the Sin's hand, violet eyes peering over to his lover. " You know, sometimes I can barely believe that you're actually mine," he admitted.

" Mmm, yes there are random times when I have to give it thought myself." Nikolai mused while looking at his kissed hand. " To think that I would actually fall in love. Hmm, it's still strange being able to say that word without death hanging over me." Closing his eyes, he let out a content sigh and rested his head on the man's shoulder. " Do you remember how we first met, dearie?" he asked, chuckling at the memory that was still so vivid in his mind.

Leon Court" If I remember correctly, you were stumbling out of a student's dorm while I was waiting for another to let me in for coffee," he said, blushing a little at the memory. He had dropped his glasses and ended up being checked out by the lecherous teacher he'd been warned to avoid. " Everyone told me to stay away from you, that you'd break my heart. I was convinced at every turn that you would." He brushed his thumb over Nikolai's knuckles, eyes on the television but attention on the Russian. " I couldn't help but be constantly on alert around you. It wasn't until you told me you loved me and meant it that I finally stopped being worried about you walking away." He chuckled a little, looking down at the curly-haired man. " What exactly were you doing the day that we met, anyway? I never thought to ask."

" Do you really need to ask, dearie?" Nikolai snorted. " I slept with a student and was walking out when I saw you. You were so shy and innocent while that girl around you tried to figure out whether she liked you or not. Truth be told, darling, I hated you then. I hated how innocent and timid you were when I was so dirty and twisted, so I tried to bring you down with me." He lifted his hand a little and gazed thoughtfully at the ring that glinted in the firelight. " And now look where that's gotten me." he chuckled.

Leon CourtLeon chuckled himself, looking over to the fireplace that he hadn't stocked up in a while. " I barely remember that girl. You completely knocked her out of the park the second that I saw you." He kissed Nikolai's temple before standing, kneeling in front of the fireplace and tossing a few logs in. " Look at us. Aren't we a pair?"
