Modern Leeburr Headcannons
So I went through the Leeburr tag and now I ship it (damn it). I completely blame and thank @the-great-gay-jatsby for this idea soโฆ
โข Burr isnโt. But heโll make an exception for Lee.
โข Leeโs favorite time to cuddle is during their traditional Friday movie night. Itโs just him, his boyfriend, and whatever cheesy movie they decide to rent.
โข Itโs almost always Eat Pray Love. Though heโll never admit it, Lee loves that movie.
โข Burr knows how much Lee loves the meaning behind the movie, so he insists that they watch it constantly.
โข Aaron refuses to call him โCharlesโ unless he really wants something.
- Ex: โNo Aaron we are not taking in a catโ โBut Chaaaaaarlesโฆlook at her!โ โโฆ fine. Only because sheโs cute!โ
โข They adopt the cat. Sheโs a fat, fluffy, tabby cat who hates physical exercise almost as much as she hates mornings.
โข Lee. Loves. That. Cat.
โข You will never see Lee without that cat in his arms or worrying about where the cat is.
โข Burr has the suspicion that Lee loves the cat more than he loves him. Which may or may not be true.
โข Leeโs worked in the office for a while, but before that, he was a veteran. He served two terms in Afghanistan before coming home.
โข He has nightmares about all the trauma he went through and all the people he couldnโt save.
โขIt takes Burr a while to figure it out, but immediately leaps into Protective Boyfriend Mode the first time Lee wakes up sobbing and screaming different names.
โข Burr quietly asks Lee why he didnโt tell him sooner while he holds him, slowly rocking them both.
โข Lee starts sobbing and Burr holds him, Leeโs head buried into Aaronโs chest.
โข โI d-didnโt want you to l-leave me, Aaron. Iโm s-so scared of being alone. Iโve l-lost so many peopleโฆPlease donโt l-leave me too. โ
โข Aaron softly kisses the top of Leeโs head. โYouโre not going to lose me, Charles. I promise you Iโm not leaving.โ
โขLee quietly cries himself to sleep in his amazing boyfriendโs arms, and Aaron never once judges him.
โขAaron is right there next to him on the 4th of July, holding his hand whenever a firework goes off. He manages to get through the day and he couldnโt be happier about it.
โข Lee is the one to propose to Aaron.
โข Its small and relatively quiet, just like the couple.
โข Lee uses his day off to cook a huge, romantic dinner for Aaron when he gets home. When Aaron gets home, Lee guides Aaron to the dining table, which has so much good food on it. Aaron gets so touched, he doesnโt know how to thank Lee. Lee just laughs nervously, saying โDonโt thank me just yet, darling. โ After dinner, Lee takes Aaron out onto the fire escape and they just sit out there for a while, relishing each otherโs presence. Lee decides to bring out the ring right there, no kneeing, no sappy speech. Just a straightforward Will You Marry Me?
โข Of course, Aaron says yes, and thatโs the story of how Lee got laid that night. Did I mention that theyโre both really kinky? They donโt seem like that couple, but they are. Like REALLY kinky. Just wanted to drop that small fact in, sorry.
โข They get married. Itโs a small ceremony in June at Jeffersonโs ranch Monticello. Everyone at the office attends. George officiated the wedding, Alexander Hamilton was Burrโs best man, while John Laurens made a speech which made Lee tear up.
โข They are marriage goals. Legit marriage goals.
โข Lee, being the southern cutie he is, calls Burr things like โDarlingโ โDollfaceโ โHoneyโ with a southern drawl. Burr secretly loves it.
โข They go to every Pride Parade they can. Why wouldnโt they? Theyโre an interracial gay couple in New York for Godโs sake.
โข Despite the fact that they argue over every little thing, Lee and Burr are best friends with Laurens and Hamilton.
โข People are constantly hitting on one of them, to the point that theyโre both very jealous.
โข One of Leeโs favorite memory of jealous Aaron is when a woman stopped them in the middle of the street to flirt with Lee. Before Lee could quietly tell her he was married, Burr slipped his hand into Leeโs and said, โHis gay ass is married to me, keep walkingโ before dragging Lee away, who was laughing hysterically. Lee never lets Burr forget about it.
โข They decide to adopt a selectively mute girl named Theodosia. Sheโs 14 year old and the sweetest person on earth.
โข Both Burr and Lee learn ASL to communicate with Theo.
โข Lee is very protective of his daughter, and Aaron is having to constantly remind him sheโs a human being with rights.
โข You can imagine how they both reacted when Alexander and Laurenโs son Phillip knocked on their door for permission to take Theodosia to the school dance.
โข After sitting the boy down for a friendly chat, they give their permission for Theo to go to the dance with Phillip.
โข The day of the dance, Pip shows up promptly at 7 in a suit and tie , smiling from ear to ear. Aaron and Lee decide to give him the โIf you hurt my daughter, I will make your life a living hellโ speech. Needless to say, Pip got the point VERY quickly.
โข All three of them were shocked when Theo came out of her room wearing a simple dark red dress and ballet flats. Phillip was the first to react, smiling even wider then before and saying , โTheo, you look beautifulโ which got the biggest smile out of Theodosia.
โข Both men started crying when Theo came over to hug and spoke to them for the very first time.
โข โDonโt worry DadsโฆIโll be fine,โ in a whispery tone.
โข Pip and Theo leave, holding hands and smiling at each other.
โข The second they leave, Lee calls Hamilton to gossip about their children. Burr invites Hamilton and Laurens over for a few drinks, and thatโs how you get 4 grown men crying their asses off while watching Marley and Me.
โข All in all, Charles Lee and Aaron Burr are just a happy couple with a beautiful daughter and a really fat cat.
