Locked to dragontyped
Mar. 21st, 2020 08:23 pmThey'd chosen to meet in Wyndon primarily because that's where Leon's flat was, but if we are being completely honest, it's probably because Raihan didn't want to waste anytime waiting on Leon who was bound to get lost in any other city. Granted there was a good chance he'd get lost walking from his flat to the coffee shop, but less so than if they had met in Hammerlocke or where Leon had originally planned, Hulbury. He had wanted to bundle up in warm coats, grab a scalding hot beverage and sit up on the top of the lighthouse with his new boyfriend.
Oh wow! What a thrill was that to think about!
There had always been feelings between the tow boys, and all of their friends have been trying to set them up for years, but between Raihan's schedule as a Gym Leader and Leon's constant busy schedule as Champion, there was never a right opportunity to act on it. Eventually it took a nudge from Hop, who basically said, in a lot nicer and gentler of a way, that someone won't wait around forever, and that nugget had planted its seed in Leon's brain and kept him up at night debating what he should do. Should he tell Raihan that he has more romantic feeling for his best friend, would he even want to be with Leon, he could have anyone he wanted, why would he chose to be with someone that rarely gets a day off. Eventually after a few days and a few more sleepless nights, he'd made his way over to his rival's house and declared how he was in love with the dragon tamer and didn't want to waste anymore time. The whole love part was a lot stronger than he'd anticipated but he couldn't say it wasn't true, so he stuck by it and waited for Raihan's response.
Obviously it was positive, which is why we find Leon in a back private corner of his favorite coffee shop waiting on his other half to show his face, after declining all of Olena's requests for evening interviews and meetings...seriously did she ever take time off. He'd turned his phone off after a final curt decline and found himself humming along to the song of the bistro between sips of his overly sweet coffee beverage.
