“More tea, Detective?”
Leon glanced at D, his mind pulled away from his distant thoughts. “Uh, sure,” he answered easily, “Why not?”
As D poured the fragrant tea, Leon watched him from the corner of his eyes, as unobtrusive as possible, catching all of the small details he would normally miss. He stored them away in his mind like a squirrel, mental nuts for those long winter nights: the shiny highlights of D’s hair, the graceful way his hands flowed through each and every task. The way he smiled to himself and the gentle warmth of his unusual eyes.
D’s smile was just a smile now, warm and inviting. Once upon a time, Leon had believed that every smile concealed some dreadful truth, a smirk that taunted and teased - but not anymore.
‘When did I start thinking differently?’ Leon asked himself. ‘When did I stop seeing him as a criminal suspect and start seeing him as a real person? A friend?’
Absently he reached out and took a cookie, brought it to his lips, chewed slowly. Once, not long ago, it would have been too sweet, but now it was just right. Sweet, crunchy, perfect. And he suddenly realized that everything now seemed just right and yet, at the same time everything felt so horribly wrong.
He sat here in a comfortable chair drinking tea and eating cookies while a devastatingly handsome man chatted to him from across the table. And the fact that Leon knew D was handsome, even beautiful, didn’t bother him nearly as much as the fact that he felt himself falling in love with him.
And that thought didn’t just bother him. It terrified him because it felt right and good and almost… almost perfectly ordinary. And once again he asked himself when his opinion of D had changed. When had the other man become so much more than a friend?
And truthfully, he didn’t have a clue.
Not that it really bothered him at all. It only terrified him in a way he simply couldn’t explain. But it still felt good. And that was fine for now.
THE END
Written in ten minutes while waiting for Mom. I even took additional time to check my spelling and edit it. Where is she? If she didn't want to play, she could have said something.
