"Oh ew. I don't like the sound of that."
"Everything is hard. So why deal with it, when you can just...not? I don't get it. I tried dealing with things, but all it does is hurt?"

"I love you...that's why." He said before taking her by surprise and meeting his lips with hers; it was a very smooth, honest and passionate kiss. He smiled. "Plus I'm a strong believer in the idea that you can't accept defeat if you have not even given up a good fight."

"I think you care too much about me sometimes. I could die. When I get check ups they say all these things about my weight and how I should be hospitalized, but I never care. So why should you?"

Beck sighed and rolled his eyes at her. "Now I'm just repeating myself. It's cause I love you...and..." He paused, pressing his lips together. "You don't love yourself." He told her, voice dark and monotone. "I don't think you realise how sick you are Elisa and how serious this is. I was kind of hoping this would end up as some kind of book cliche were you found something to live for, like me or some kind of life dream, but we all know its not really like that. Recovery is slow and hard...but I believe you are starting to fix yourself. Only you can do it."

"I wouldn't think too much about it. She doesn't get very attached. Commitment phobia or something. She had an ex that was pretty awful, decided not to get to close to boys or girls in a romantic sense after that."

"I see. Fair enough." He told her before nuzzling his face down into the bed sheets. A sudden realisation popped into his head about what she had said. "So is she bi or like are you just saying she's seriously not bothered about anyone anymore?" He asked, filled with curiosity. The phrase "boys or girls" just seemed so out of the norm to Beck

"Please don't be mean to, Bex. I promise she can be a sweetheart. She's defensive over me. Like Leon is about you."

He huffed rather heavily. "Maybe you should tell her to be less snappy then it would be a bit easier to keep my temper. It's not just me you know." But of course once she compared their relationship to his and Leon, he snapped his jaw shut.

"Do you want to get some sleep? You need to rest."

"Looking at you, I'd never guess you were the stuttering type, but that's twice now and it's absolutely adorable."

"I'm not actually the stuttering type..." Leon told her, trying to conceal the slightest of colour change in his cheeks. "It's just you, you get me all flustered I guess." He said, trying to laugh it off with a soft chuckle. It felt like he was saying and doing all the wrong things at this point after a casual fuck.

"And what? You couldn't tell I was enjoying it? It was more than alright."

The brunette grinned to himself, clearly very pleased and holding a lot of pride. "I aim to please. It's no fun if its just me benefiting from it. Plus seeing the faces you make just makes my day." He purred, pulling her more into his warm chest before resting his chin on the top of her head. This felt almost as good as the actual sex.

"You were right, I think we could have lots of fun."

"Oh really you are wanting more from me?" Leon asked. "I like that idea. A lot. Whenever you want Bex." He said with a voice like silk and a smile.
