LO VE

3rd person POV:

Several months have passed since (Y/n) gave his grandmother a matching scar to her right eye and allowed her to wallow in her misery.

The Hellspawn was in his bed listening to the radio. He was too lazy to put on a playlist.

Radio: Now onto the latest news.

Radio: The economy, worldwide, seems to be going down horrifically fast.

Radio: Thousands of businesses are going under, costs are going up. Even experts are stumped on how this is possible-

Jason threw the device he was listening to the radio on, across the room.

(Y/n):....

Getting up, he left his room and entered the living room.

After the destruction of his childhood house, (Y/n) decided to move out of his father's care.

Due to his adventures in London, he had officially become a knight and on the payroll of the country.

Since he was getting regular checks, that meant they forgot about his knighthood or simply didn't care. It was a win-win for him either way.

This nice, two-floored apartment wasn't just his. For cheap rent reasons, Leona, Marcus, and Anna also live with him.

Marcus worked a part-time job while dealing with college.

Leona worked at May's gym mostly. She helped with training and other stuff, but had plans to create a self-defense class.

Anna... No one really knew or understood what she was doing. Supposedly she's working on a new business she made, but she would explain it in such a complicated matter that no one understood what she was saying.

Life was good for the four but yet uneventful.

That was until May saw Leona stare longingly at the clock.

An eerily familiar evil grin grew upon the lips of the Hellspawn's aunt.

A wicked scheme grew in her mind as she approached the Cobalt lion.

May:(evil grin) So... Are you already longing to see your special delinquent?

Leona: Huh? What are you talking about?

May: Tell me, Leona. When was the last time you were on a date?

Leona: Uhhh... I've "had fun" but not done the whole date and dating thing.

May: Well you might want to try and get on that.

Leona: Why?

May: You're not going to be young forever.

Leona: O-okay...?

May: You're lucky, you know? You have someone close that's just perfect for you.

Leona: Who? I'm pretty sure being part of (Y/n)'s crew has blacklisted me to everyone in town.

May: No, no, no... Think closer.

Leona:... Listen, I like you, but-

May: No, not literally. Think closer, as in who's close to you?

May: Who is it that you'll see when you get home.

Leona: Hmmm... I guess it would be.... (Y/n).

May;(evil grin) And what do you think about him?

Leona: Well... He's brash, does whatever basically on a whim.

Leona: Stupid to the point it pisses me off.

Leona: He's uncaring... On the surface.

Leona: Inside, I can tell he cares about us... Even if he rather die than show it.

Leona: He's pretty strong. Strong enough to brute force his way out of anything.

May's grin only grew wider.

May: Go on...

Leona: He's strong enough to get me out of the crime life... To get me this kind of normal that I've never even known I could get.

Leona:(sigh)

Leona: His-

Leona: Wait, no! What am I doing!? What am I thinking!?

Leona: Don't get the wrong idea! I don't-

May: You do~

Leona: I can't-

May: You can~

Leona: I shouldn't-

May: You should~

Leona: Stop putting thoughts in my head!

May: I'm doing no such thing. Just bringing out what's already there.

Leona: You bitch!

May:(evil laughter) Mwahahahaha!

Leona hides her face from May.

Leona: What do I do...?

May: There, there.

May begins massaging her shoulders to get her to relax.

May: The way I see it, there's only one thing you can do.

May: Act upon your instincts!

Leona:...

May: You said it yourself, no one else is going to dare to ask you out. He's your only option.

May: Besides Marcus...

Leona: Never.

May: Then what are you waiting for? You have your target!

Leona: What's wrong with you?

May: Someone needs to worry about you. I can't let you end up alone.

May:(mind) Besides, with April gone, someone has to worry about getting grandchildren...

May: So what do you say...?

Leona: I don't even know what to do!

May: I have an idea.

(Timeskip)

Leona was waiting for (Y/n) on a bench with a heart-shaped cookie wrapped in wrapping plastic to keep it clean.

Leona:(mind) This is so fucking stupid! This sissy shit isn't going to work!

Leona:(mind) I'll probably just look like a stupid adult trying to be a young kid to him!

Leona:(mind) Maybe I have enough time to buy strawberries?

Getting up, Leona attempts to quickly buy a box of strawberries but immediately bumps into a few thugs, causing her to drop the cookie she made with May.

Leona:!?

Thug 1: Hey there, girl~.

Thug 2; You lookin' fine.

Thug 3: Oh, can I have that?

Thug 3 reaches for the cookie, only for Leona to knee him in the face.

Thug 1: Oh-ho-ho! We have a fighter here!

Thug 3: We going to teach you some manner, bitch!

Leona: Tch. Piss off. I'm in a hurry.

Thug 3 swung his fist at Leona, who dodged the sloppy attack with ease.

Leona then crane kicked the guy in the face, knocking him out.

Thug 2 then tried to tackle the Cobalt lion.

Leona leapfrogged over the man, causing him to fly face-first into a post.

The last thug went on the attack that but was no trouble for Leona to block.

When she saw an opening, Leona kneed the guy in the gut, making him bend over.

She then finished him off with an axe kick to the back.

Leona: That's what you get for wasting my time!

Turning around, she saw (Y/n) looking at her.

Leona:!?

(Y/n): So why did you call me here?

Leona: I-I wanted to ask you something...

(Y/n): Spit it out then.

Leona: Uh...

She sees the cookie.

Grabbing it, she presents it to him.

Leona: Y-you wanna go out? Just you and me?

(Y/n):?

He grabs the cookie, removes its plastic covering, and begins eating it.

(Y/n):(swallows)

(Y/n): Like a date?

Leona: Yeah...

(Y/n):(takes a bite of the cookie)

(Y/n):(mouth full) And why? Do you want to be my girl?

Leona: Y-

Leona:(sigh)

Leona: No.

(Y/n):?

Leona: I want you to be my guy.

(Y/n):(takes a bite of cookie again)

(Y/n):(looks at the beaten up guys)

(Y/n):(looks at her)

Leona:(slight blush).....

(Y/n):....(swallows)

(Y/n): Sure.

Leona: Really?

(Y/n): Yeah.

(Y/n): You're probably the best I'll ever get when it comes to women.

Leona: You serious?

(Y/n): Yes.

(Y/n): Besides, this cookie is really good.

Leona:(mind) My god, the cookie worked!?

(Y/n): So now what?

Leona: Uhh... Not sure.

Leona: You wanna just hang out and see what happens?

(Y/n):(shrugs)

(Y/n): Why not?

The two then spend the rest of the day together.
