Cute and simple Leona SFW Drabble inspired by these mal headcanons (ironic ik) you should go read that too, especially if you’re a lizard f***er.. (I kid I kid). I really liked the whole ‘learning more about the new relationship as they go along’ aspect bc Leona certainly never had a spouse before. Implied fem s/o
Enjoy Leona being a dramatic fucker lol
Leona was confident, perhaps too confident. He’s ‘researched’ dating advice, on his own of course, he wouldn’t be caught dead talking about it to anyone else. He’s seen how his brother acts with his wife, he’s even confident in his perception of your likes and dislikes. Subtlety pulling away or putting more effort into things based on your reactions. But you can never know everything about a person without talking to them, can you?
Once you reach somewhere private, you calmly state how the way he talked to you made you irritated, or you didn’t like how he grabbed you in front of your friends, either way.
The subject matter makes him subconsciously puff up, his ears flattening behind him as he prepares to verbally spar but that’s quickly shot when he looks at you. Posture unassuming and face is passive but firm, if not a little awkward. You obviously weren’t trying to argue, you were only expressing what he did to make you uncomfortable. Although Leona could only see it as a failure on his part.
And man, he feels like such a dick. As he simply utters a soft ‘oh’ as he walks off, brain fuzzy with Leona thinking over everything he did wrong. Although to most who perceived him on his way to his dorm he looked angry, stalking off with a purpose.
After a while of thinking it over, he understands more of where he went wrong, and figured he has to make things right. Going off the island to get your favourite thing himself, and bringing it back to you like a house cat bringing back a bird for their owner.
With his ears folded back like before he apologizes, as you stand there baffled. His face scrunching up, talking about ‘if he can have the honor of dating you again and how he’ll never disrespect you ever again’- that’s when you have to cut him off. He tries turning away from you, taking that as your rejection but you stop him. You never broke up with him in the first place.
His body is still as he mulls over your words, but his body betrays the excitement he feels building. Ears popped up and twitched as his tail whips slightly about. Turning his head slightly with his back still towards you he asks of his disrespect, and you counter that you just need boundaries, every relationship needs them. Looking you in the eyes as he turns fully now, he’s at a loss for words. Shoving his gift into your arms he mutters ‘for you’ as he strides away. Needing to bury his head into his pillow to erase all the embarrassment of today.
