Leo's Past

When Leo finished his call with his father, he turned towards me with a smile. The smile was not one that he would usually make towards me. I could feel as though there was a wave of different emotions soaring through Leo through his eyes at that moment. Without knowing why, I instinctively moved my body and leaned over towards Leo, giving him a strong hug.

The both of us shared our warmth as we hugged each other. I placed my palm on Leo's head and rubbed his hair, speaking in a low and coaxing voice, "Are you okay?"

Leo was actually much more surprised by my sudden hug that for a moment, he had completely forgotten about everything that his father told him just now, simply feeling shock as I rubbed his hair. After finally realizing what was going on, he simply reached both his arms around me as well and hugged me back, speaking softly in a sweet tone, "I'm fine."
