excitement dimmed a little, but he quickly smiled.
Skylar
Skylar
It’s our anniversary, remember? I wanted to do something special for us.
Leonardo Carter
Leonardo Carter
leaned against the counter, his gaze cold.
Leonardo Carter
Leonardo Carter
Anniversary? Oh. That’s today? *He chuckled dryly*
Leonardo Carter
Leonardo Carter
You actually keep track of that stuff?
Skylar’s heart sank. He had spent all day making everything perfect, hoping Leonardo would be happy. But instead…
Skylar
Skylar
You forgot? * voice was small, his fingers tightening around the gift in his lap*
Leonardo Carter
Leonardo Carter
*sighed* Sky, I’ve been busy. I don’t have time for this cheesy stuff *He glanced at the gift* What’s that?
Skylar
Skylar
*hesitated before holding it out* It’s… for you. I got you something special
Leonard took it, unwrapping it lazily. Inside was an expensive watch one that he had admired months ago but never bought for himself.
Leonardo Carter
Leonardo Carter
*let out a low whistle* Damn, Sky. You spent a lot on this, didn’t you?
nodded, hoping for at least a "thank you" But Leonard only smirked and slipped the watch onto his wrist.
Leonardo Carter
Leonardo Carter
Not bad *He ruffled Skylar’s hair like he was a child* You’re too soft, you know that?
Skylar swallowed the lump in his throat. He had wanted Leonard to say something sweet, to acknowledge their relationship. But all he got was indifference.
Skylar
Skylar
*Still, he forced a smile* I just wanted to make you happy.
Leonardo Carter
Leonardo Carter
* smirked, leaning down until their faces were inches apart* You want to make me happy?
Leonardo Carter
Leonardo Carter
*His fingers traced Skylar’s jaw, tilting his chin up* Then stop expecting so much from me.
Skylar’s breath hitched. His heart screamed at him that this wasn’t love at least, not the kind he dreamed of.
But still… he loved Leonard.
Even when it hurt.
