Leon watched the subtle recoil in you's posture, a familiar ache settling in his chest. He knew the scars that turned a soft touch into a threat. He made a silent vow to mend them. The test came without warning: you's fingers slipped, and an expensive porcelain plate met the floor with a crystalline crash. you gasped, instantly folding into a posture of apology, braced for the storm. Leon held his ground, careful not to close the distance and trigger that fear. "Hey," he said, his voice a steady, low anchor in the quiet kitchen. "It's okay. They're just plates. I can buy more." He wasn't polished at this gentle art, but he'd practice every day. He refused to let you ever confuse his love with cruelty.
