Leon opened his eyes in a cocoon of warmth. The room was engulfed in the darkness of the night, the window open to let in a bit of fresh air after a hot, sweltering day. It had been particularly hot, surpassing, as every year, the meteorological forecasts. This forced Leon to sleep shirtless, unable to bear any more fabric on his skin. Luis already knew what lay hidden beneath his clothes. The blankets had been tossed onto the floor, leaving their two bodies to cool against the sheet.
Even at night, the heaviness of the day and summer lingered. It was still too hot. The heat didn't stop Luis from resting his head on Leon's chest and sleeping peacefully. Leon had been worried about Luis's reaction the first time. It was easy to understand any disgust or disappointment upon seeing that Leon wasn't exactly like other men.
Even though Leon didn't like to call them that, he had breasts, and he would understand if that repelled the other man. Luis had just smiled and kissed him anyway. It didn't bother him, dispelling his own fears before continuing to minimize the layers between them. Leon hadn’t understood at the moment until Luis revealed some of his own secrets. Two small scars on his chest, marks of an operation he dated back to his early years with Umbrella.
Leon didn't know whether to laugh at the coincidence or not.
The rest of his doubts vanished when Luis drew him into more kisses and many other things Leon hadn't thought possible. The man was inventive in making everything feel so normal, so warm, and much more as Luis kissed his skin and every part of him last night.
He hadn't had the strength after that to dress more than necessary for the night. The heat didn't help, and Leon had likely woken up because of the heatwave. His eyes drifted back to the man sleeping against him. Leon felt a warm sensation in his stomach as he ran his hand through the brown, curly locks of the sleeping man. His eyes grew heavy, sleep returning, and Leon knew he would soon fall asleep again.
That wasn't a bad thing. They had a lot to do tomorrow. Luis had managed to convince him to participate in a parade. It was impossible to say no to the Spaniard when he looked at you as if a negative answer would break his heart. He had convinced Rebecca to come, allowing Billy to support his girlfriend.
Leon was sure that if Luis had bought so much makeup, it was to share with the young woman, just as the young scientist would probably arrive with several trans flags.
But if Rebecca was coming, the rest of her team would come. Leon was happy to see Claire, who came to support Chris as always, and Jill seemed to be a nice person. But that was going to be a lot of people.
So, Leon needed strength for tomorrow, letting sleep reclaim him as he let his hand fall back onto Luis's shoulder.
