Hiding Behind The Hair (Leo Version)

A quick one, based on the selfship lore & sona revamp I'm doing right now. I never thought that I would write for Enstars again but here we are. I am actually doing it. And I missed it, much to my surprise. This was lots of fun, surprisingly. You might be able to expect it more. Or not, we'll see. If this keeps up I might need to sort my ships in some way... Eh, I'll figure it out. Either way, I intend to write two more versions (Izumi and Ritsu) but I don't know when I will get to those. Leo is first because why not? I need to write more with him anyways. Hope you enjoy!

If there was one thing Leo always secretly wondered about it was the face of the new translator. Or rather, he was always getting distracted when having a closer look at it. As long as it wasn’t a composition he was always thinking hard. So hard that his ahoge may as well be wagging, swaying from one side to the other if it was possible (or is it?) He knew Ann’s face, kind of, but also not really. Her eyes are green and… Uh… Erm… Huh, actually, that’s all he knew. There isn’t much else he could describe in regards to her face. No details of her face – Not how far her eyes are away, how big and pokey her nose and how squishy her cheeks look. Maybe the mouth but that’s about it. It is so hard to tell.

And at that moment this had been going through Leo’s head as he was looking at her across the table. She is typing away, fingers hitting each key of the keyboard with an immense amount of speed. He stared and stared, his eyes nearly frozen in place. He was trying to get a closer look but… But… Uhh…

“Ah yeesh! This is a bit of a pain!” He suddenly complained, the tone rather childish coming from his mouth. But honestly? Leo didn’t care, not really at least. He even crossed his arms fittingly. 

Though apparently that was enough to get her attention, the clicking suddenly stopping and her face turning away from the screen. And yet, even as she was facing him, he couldn’t make out the details of her face. At all. “L… Leo–San? What—”

“Ann–Chan, let me see!” He continued complaining, interrupting her quickly.

“S… See? What?”

“Your face! Please!”

“Face Uhm… It… not is… Uh, interessant. Was ist nochmal interessant?”

“But I wanna see it! It’s killing me here!”

“I… is it? That—”

“Please please please!” Leo was begging here. He wouldn’t let it go, his stubbornness wouldn’t let him. He even leaned forward, hoping that this would give him a good look. And yet that only worked so much. 

Despite the hair being in the way he could see Ann’s confusion in some way. She blinked a few times, not saying a word. And he wasn’t either, only continuing to stare, nearly glare even. Though then he saw her shrug after sighing. “Uhm… Fine? Here.” And as soon as she said that she moved the hair out of her face.

The orange head noticed his eyes widening for a moment, taking in the sight. It should satisfy his curiosity and in a way it was. Yet the moment he looked at her he was… Uh… There were no words. He was taken aback, to say the least yet that wasn’t really cutting it either. And here he thought that Sena had no competition. Wait no, it’s not exactly that. This is a little different.

He looked at them, unable to look away, at least for a moment. His gaze may as well be glued onto hers, as if fascinated, looking at yet another muse. He couldn’t put it into words yet he surely got a melody in his head. He wanted to write it down, noticing his hands shaking and being so close to grabbing the next best pen. Yet at the same time he was restraining himself. Because even with that in mind he was reacting a little oddly.

He felt overwhelmed, his cheeks heating up the moment he had a closer look. His breath nearly hitched and he had problems swallowing. Never had he reacted like this before, his mind being a mess, only held together with tape. Said tape was of course the notes bouncing through his head. And yet it was all just… A lot. So much. He didn’t know what to think, how to process this. It wasn’t a terrible sight, no. He just felt as if he had been flashed by this face.

After a long moment Leo managed to tear his face away. He quickly turned away from her face yet his heat didn’t disappear so easily. Especially with Ann’s face burning in his mind. Maybe he shouldn’t have been that curious. He felt so weird right now after all…

“L… Leo–San? Are you alright?” She asked him, her voice ever so soft yet concerned. He could already see that head tilt, even if he wasn’t looking at her anymore.

“Ah– Y… Yeah… Just give me a moment…” A response coming weakly from his mouth. He wasn’t going to forget this anytime soon…

But hey, at least Leo found his next melody to write down.
