[EVENT] Home is Where The Heart Is [Percy/Leon]

Now that he'd gotten what he ultimately wanted, Percy wasted no time crawling into bed and snuggling into Leon's embrace once it was offered. It was a comfort for both Leon and for himself. Pressing his forehead against Leon's chest, now he could let the moisture leak harmlessly from his right eye down onto the mattress. Arms curling into himself, one hand grabbed the fabric at the front of Leon's shirt into a tightly balled fist. "This is enough," he said softly. It had to be. There was no choice as long as Leon was set on being brought back into his family after the war to be approved of and sold. Percy would just have to take this last thing and treasure it, memorize it. He felt like he'd taken so many things about Leon for granted until now. That's always how it was when you knew you were losing something, right? It was so lame, but he wondered if he could steal a shirt just to conserve his scent for the inevitable hard days that could come. When his thoughts would get away with him and he'd think he was going to crack.

Despite all the swirling feelings, Percy was already feeling the exhaustion pulling him under. He was certainly sad, but it had been quite an emotionally exhausting day. Physically exhausting as well, there at the end. He'd be lying if he didn't say that his thoughts weren't bouncing between the rather large milestone they'd both crossed, which made him blush, and the fact that they'd never see each other soon, which broke his heart. If only he was better at affection, he'd have shown Leon a little more before he fell asleep. He really had found kissing him enjoyable, more than he ever thought he would. Maybe he'd get one more before the ride home.

"Goodnight, Leon," he yawned, already half asleep and mumbling. As he said, for right now, this was enough.
