got something to tell you (that I never thought I would)

“Hey, hey, Leon!” Piers patted Leon’s cheek, then again a little harder, before practically slapping him in an attempt to wake him up again. “Wake up!” He breathed a sigh of relief as Leon opened his eyes again, even if only barely. “C’mon. Stay with me.““I’ll always stay with you,“ Leon blurted out, his eyes widening. He looked almost teary, but it was clear the painkillers were kicking in, his pupils dilated and his gaze unfocused as he tried to look at Piers. And what he said next was something no one around him expected. “I love you.“Piers stared at him for a second, heart thudding in his chest. Quickly he looked around, only to notice how his teammates were all more or less grinning at him, even if several of them did look genuinely worried for Leon’s overall health, too. “Leon, you’re on a lot of painkillers, okay.” Piers tried, soothingly. “You’re not thinking straight.“-Or the one wherein Leon proposes no less than four times. (Spoiler alert: Piers says yes. Eventually.)
