- Vlad gets to know about the arrangement and immediately volunteers to take the puppy for walks instead

- The arrangement works well, Vlad gets to spend time with the puppy who absolutely adores him btw and occasionally when Laia and Leo are free, they get to take evening walks in the park together. Talking about everything or sometimes simply walking in comfortable silence.

- However, the puppy ends up getting so attached to Vlad it refuses to go home with Cathy which breaks her heart.

- Until the ever strategic Noe gets her a guinea pig and the puppy gets to go home to Vlad.

- Leo and Laia love to tease Vlad that he loves the puppy more than them to which he goes off on a tangent about how the love he feels for the puppy is different from the love he feels for them.

- They obviously know that but watching him speak on a subject so silly is extremely endearing and they can’t help it.

- With Vlad’s mentoring, Leo actually becomes quite the decent cook. They try to teach Laia who instantly gets frustrated.

- “We really don't need so many spices, why are there so many??”

- “That pan has something against me, there’s no reason for it to burn my food EVERY TIME”

- “I swear I can see it smirk and after everything that’s happened, a pan holding a grudge against me doesn't seem that crazy boys. You have got to believe me!”

- Vlad and Leo obviously expected this reaction and have a great plan under their sleeves.

- They turn their charm on!

- Heaping Laia with compliments every time she does good in her cooking journey

- Leo’s a natural, he compliments like it's his sole purpose in life.

- Vlad however needs some tuning before he gets it

- “Laia you marvellous being, you look as hot as the pan in that apron. Look at you go! Never seen anyone look this pretty while they cook”

- “Um yes Laia, your onions look perfectly browned indeed. Y-you’re also really pretty, that apron absolutely becomes you, yes yes it does…”

- IT SURPRISINGLY WORKS

- Until Laia gets overconfident…

- It's an absolutely hilarious sight

- “ Oh boys, I know I'm good, I know I'm good. Look at that salt sprinkling method. Salt bae who?? I only know Laia bae, get it guys?”

- Leo struggles to keep a straight face, his facade almost breaking every two seconds as Laia continues to ramble on.

- Poor Vlad on the other hand doesn't get a single reference and just happily nods along to whatever she says.

- One day, Leo finds a movie on the Ottoman empire and picks it for their Friday movie nights unbeknownst to Laia and Vlad.

- They sit on the couch with Vlad in the middle, Leo and Laia on his sides.

- They put him in the middle because they claim, “He needs the most snuggles to make up for all the lost time”.

- Vlad loves it but of course never admits it.

- They start the movie and of course Laia and Vlad are immediately puzzled

- Imagine that Leonardo Dicaprio pointing at the tv meme, yep that's exactly what's happening at that moment.

- While Leo initially played the movie as a joke, they all end up getting pretty into it.

- Vlad whispers a silent “not true…” every two minutes

- Laia nods off halfway into the movie and they gently move her to the bed.

- Leo and Vlad, who aren't that sleepy, decide to finish the movie for the fun of it.

- Leo who’s now feeling cheeky (and a little flirty) decides to do that discreet yawn placement of hand thing that he always saw in movies

- It doesn't escape Vlad who looks at Leo puzzled

- “You know I am dating you right? You’re free to put your arm on my shoulder even if you just feel like it. I quite like it actually”

“Oh I know, I just thought you'd like the change it was supposed to be cute…” and with this Leo moves to remove his hand, feeling slightly disappointed

- Vlad however immediately moves to stop his hand from moving and holds it there

- “I never said I didn't like it…just wanted you to  know you could hug me whenever, I-I really appreciate it”

- Vlad’s lucky the room is dark because by now he has a full blown blush on his face and he would sooner eat dog food than admit he likes the cheesy antics of his partners.

- Leo can't stop the wide smile that’s spreading across his face and he pulls Vlad in closer before settling in for the movie again.

- The both of them feel comfortable and safe in each other’s embrace, happy and in love but most importantly appreciating everything they do for each other and Laia.

Leo in season 1 I saw you🤨:

AITA for (unknowingly) leading on my crush’s teenaged sister because she rejected me for the guy who kinda lowkey kidnapped her.

Noe in season 1:

Turning around it reached for her, clawed hands grasping at her delicate throat. She didn’t resist at first. Her mouth simply moved in a silent ‘no’, begging the universe to undo the horror that lay before her, pleading with it to bring back the man she loved. She looked into its face, into its eyes looking for a semblance of him but instead cold, hard eyes of a deranged monster stared back at her. Eyes devoid of emotion, razor focused, beholding only one goal; destruction. Still, she didn't give up hope and she was sure he was still in there he had to be. The beating heart that lay deep inside the monster’s chest did still belong to him.

Deciding it had had enough of the staring game, it slowly lifted her higher. Now she struggled, clawing at his hands, shouting at it to let her go this instant. Instead he tightened his hold on her throat, a sharp nail pressed against her neck like a dagger and all of a sudden she went limp. All her bravado gone, her anger sated. Leaving in its path a broken heart and a well of sadness where all the hopes and dreams she had for her and her love’s future, drowned.

The monster watched her, its eyebrows furrowed. Her sadness affected him, stabbed at his heart and for a moment, recognition flickered in its eyes. A flicker of him, a brief glance at the human it was before and then it was gone. Letting out a guttural roar of annoyance, it tossed her to the ground. It turned around to look at the figure that lay on the ground, her shoulders shaking, hands clutching at her throat as she mourned the love she lost. The assault in its chest started anew and it quickly averted its eyes, walking away in long strides.

She could feel the familiar pricking at the back of her eyes and sobs escaped her in seconds. Her tears however were not born out of fear from death, it sprang from the guilt she held in her heart. Guilt that she couldn't save the man she loved, guilt that he became the very monster he vowed to never become, guilt that perhaps it all started and ended this way because of her.
