You'll be able to find the previous chapters to this fic and upcoming ones. You'll also be able to find my Wattpad & AO3. Comments, reblogs & likes are appreciated. Thank you

It's so lively!" Claire chuckled, looking around the entrance of the Zoo. "Tell me about it." Leon scoffed. He most definitely doesn't prefer being in crowds of people. Claire grabbed ahold of his strong arm, pecking it quickly, "Oh don't be such a grump, it'll be fun." She leaned up and kissed his cheek. He couldn't help but feel his face flush, she really knew what buttons to push.

"You're a princess." Leon teased her, kissing her head. He was out of his comfort zone today. Not only socially, but style too. He's wearing a polo shirt with some jean shorts, that's not his usual attire. Claire is wearing a cute red & white striped top with jean shorts as well, Leon can't help but admire how beautiful she looks. Anytime though, she looks absolutely gorgeous. Leon is constantly finding himself obsessing over her and how she looks.

Walking up to the stand, Leon pulled out his wallet. "Paying to see depressed animals, great." He sighed, handing the money to the worker. The worker rolled her eyes a bit, clearly not liking Leon's snarky remark. Claire slapped his shoulder, letting go of his arm, "Seriously? Be anymore of an ass?" Claire groaned, folding her arms. "Sorry babygirl, I don't think Zoo's are all that." "You aren't even excited to see the wolves?" "Maybe." He smirked, reaching his hand out for her. Claire gave in, of course, sliding her hand against his and holding it.

"Want me to go ahead and grab us a pamphlet?" Claire asked Leon, pointing to the stack of them by some of the souvenir shops. Leon nodded, letting go of her hand slowly before watching her skip off to them. He sighed softly, he wasn't in the best mood. Leon would do anything to appease his wife, hence why he's here, but lately, life has been so rough on him. He especially has a difficult time opening up to Claire but he's trying. Truly, all he wants is to see her smile and be happy, therefore he'll endure his own personal issues.

From where he was standing, he could see a few different enclosures. One has owl's and the other had sloth's, they looked cute. Leon felt bad for them though. Imagine being trapped in a large cage that you'll never be able to leave from. Knowing it's for the greater good though, he tries not to sweat it to much. But if he was an animal, he'd personally despise the situation so much.

Claire ambled back over to Leon, a folded pamphlet in her skinny hand. "Alrighty handsome." She murmured, opening up the complicated folded piece of paper. Leon couldn't help but admire her efforts. "You got it hun?" He said with a teasing tone. Claire scoffed, "I do." She undid the entire thing, shaking it a couple times to straighten it out neatly. "From where we are, the closest would be the llama's and the turtles." Claire said softly, scanning the pamphlet.

"Let's go then." Leon sighed softly, walking alongside Claire as they made their way to the llama's. Llama's are cute, but Leon doesn't want to be spat on. "What's the difference between Llama's and Alpaca's?" "Honey, don't be dense." Claire stated, squeezing his hand playfully as they made their way up to the wooden fenced area. There were only six Llama's, but they were so cute. Claire admired them briefly. "So adorable." Claire giggled, pointing at the cutest one. It was white with a brown spot near the top of it's head. "Just like you." Leon chuckled, gazing down at her.

"Hey, that one looks like you." Leon pointed at the derpy one, causing Claire to scoff. "That was is cute too, so hah." She pinched his arm roughly. They definitely had a way with words together. Claire pulled out her phone and snapped a couple photos of the Llama's, making sure to get each one in each picture. "You plan on developing those?" "Maybe... Depends..." Claire quietly spoke, taking a couple more photos. "Depends on what?" "Well, if they look nice or not or if I end up finding a reason to even print them out." She explained, Leon just nodded in reply.

"Let's go to the Turtle's, shall we?" Claire talked softly, turning the both of them around and immediately spotting where the turtle's were. From where they were strolling, Leon could see the sign that explains what kind of animal they are and some information about them. They were tortoises, not turtle's. Totally different. "Babygirl...?" Leon chuckled out, taking her hand and placing it on the plaque. Claire gandered down and read it before rolling her eyes. "Same thing." "Clearly not." Leon cackled.

"They're so slow." Claire snickered, her head in her hands as she leaned against the railing. "I would hate to be a tortoise." Leon rubbed Claire's back as they looked at the animals. "At the same time, they're cute! Tortoises are old men if they were animals." Claire stated. Leon couldn't help but snicker at her statement, "Is that so?" He chuckled, watching as she moved away and pulled her phone out again. She snapped only one photo this time. "My love?" Leon asked. "Yes babe?" Claire replied. "I love you." He whispered, looking at her intently.

Claire put her phone away, giving him a gentle look before cupping his cheeks in her petite hands, "I love you baby." She whispered, kissing his cheeks all over before letting go of his handsome face. Leon felt his cheeks go pink, why did she have to do that in front of so many people? "Hate when you do that..." Leon grumbled but Claire simply snorted.

"Just over there are the owl's and sloth's, wanna go look?" Claire questioned her husband, wrapping her arm around his. "Yes baby." Leon responded, striding beside her. "Knock knock." "Whose there?" "Who." "Who who?" "Are you an owl?" Claire asked him, biting her lip as she giggled. It took Leon a moment to understand the joke but, he got. "Oh ha ha." Leon chuckled, "You're so cute." "Cute stuff." Claire repeated.

Along the branches, there were many owls. They really seemed to like the dark, they stuck to the shaded areas only. It reminded Claire of Leon, if he was an animal, he'd either be an owl or a wolf. "They look so... Elegant? I guess I don't know how to explain it." Claire said calmly. "No, I get what you're saying sweetheart, they're very magnificent creatures." Leon agreed, his hand resting on her back. Claire was glad he understood, he always does.

She snapped a couple photos, scrolling through them to make sure they were of good quality. "They look great." Leon praised her photography skills. "Thanks... I'd love to buy a camera soon." Claire said softly, her head resting against his bulk shoulder. "I'll buy you one soon." Leon assured her. "Really?" Claire gave him a loving smile, looking up at him. "Anything to appease you babygirl." Leon whispered, pecking the point of her nose. "I'd love that, thank you." Claire murmured.

Claire looked behind her, seeing the adorable sloths hanging from their branches, some of them even sleeping. Now if Claire was an animal, she'd most definitely want to be a sloth, she'd be able to be lazy in the warm sun all day long. It'd be great. "Look how cute!" Claire smiled, pointing at one specific sloth. The sloth was hanging by it's arms and legs, not showing a care in the world. Leon let out a soft chuckle, watching Claire be mesmerized by a silly animal.

"I was a koala for Halloween back in College." Claire giggled, "I know it's not relevant considering this is a sloth but they're sort of similar." She explained. "A sexy koala?" "Yes... My friends were a Grizzly Bear and a Polar Bear." Claire sighed softly, not enjoying the thought of her College years. "Wish I would've known you then." Leon smirked. "Yeah, no you don't." Claire patted his arm as they began to walk further along the pathway of the Zoo.

"Oh baby, the wolves are just up here!" She exclaimed, sliding the pamphlet back into her pocket. Leon nodded, seeing a few of them walking around the enclosure. It was an all black one with vivid gray spots all over it's neck area. It was gorgeous. Very magnificent. "That one is pretty." Leon pointed at it. "I know, right? Gosh, I wish dogs looked like that." "Well, some do, but they are hard to find, I presume." "Sadly." Claire mumbled, taking a photo of the beautiful wolf, it looked so stoic. "If you print the images out, give me that one." Leon said with a husk tone. "Of course." Claire responded.

"Let's steal one." Claire joked, tugging on the bottom of his shirt. "Ok baby, you distract them and I'll grab it." Leon teased, squeezing her slim hip. "We should get a dog though, sooner or later." "I agree honey, it just takes a lot of responsibility and with our jobs, I don't know if it'll work out." Leon whispered to her, caressing her side. Claire nodded sadly, her spirits going low. "A cat would be easier, y'know... They'd be able to go pee and poop inside, we could fill their food and water up extremely, ect." Leon added. Claire gave a slight smile but she was much more of a dog person.

"I guess you're right." Claire heaved softly, looking around the area to see other animals. From where she was, she seen Lions, it immediately made her light up. "Oh, baby, look!" Claire snatched his hand up and was in complete awe by the lion's. Leon chuckled, seeing one of the male lion's rested up on top of a large rock.

The two of them headed up towards the enclosure. There were four different lion's on the inside, two female and two male. Each one of them were stunning. Lion's are the representation of the Leo sign, which is Claire's astrology sign, she feels a personal connection with these animal's. "So pretty." Claire admired all of them. "Once again, just like you." Leon flirted with his wife, his veiny hand ruffling her hair. Claire slightly blushed, biting her lower lip at his sweet words.

"Can't wait til we go home, I wanna take a shower with you." Leon whispered to her, moving his hand away from her soft hair. Claire snorted and leaned up, placing both of her hands on his chest, "Oh really now?" Claire giggled, her smile turning into a grin. "Mhm, how could I not? You look gorgeous today." Leon whispered once again, kissing the top of her head. "If you'd like, we can take a break from the animals and order some food, they have some shops." "Anything you want babygirl, I just want you pleased." Leon mumbled to her, both of his hands on her lower back.

Oddly enough, despite Leon not really wanting to go on this trip, he still did and it wasn't even for himself yet he's beginning to feel better. Seeing Claire all happy and okay cures his personal sadness. He's just been dealing with some shit at work, the only times he's truly ever happy is if he's with Claire, like right now. She's the light of his life. There is no other for him. Their love is truly irrevocable. He just wishes that life without her could also be just as easy as when he's with her. Depending on someone for something as simple as happiness isn't Leon's style.

Leon would open up to Claire more, talk to her about how he feels but he just has such a difficult time doing so. It's not just with her, it's with everybody. He's thought about therapy but he also views it as a waste of money when he can just talk about it with someone for free or bottle it up. It's the little moments like these that help him forget and help him realize how good his life truly is, despite all the bullshit that goes down.

"I'm feeling just some classic American food, like a sloppy cheeseburger or a good hotdog." Claire snickered, holding Leon's hand as they made their way back to the entrance area of the Zoo. "You're easy to please, my love. I remember when you told me your favorite food was a cheeseburger, can't lie, I was surprised." Leon chuckled. "Oh, how come?" "Because I've just never met somebody with common taste." "I see, well, you just can't go wrong with one. But hey, my pallette is quite exotic!" "Oh, I know." Leon replied.

As they re-entered the main area, they spotted the food stands. The one that caught Claire's eye had an icon of a burger on it, immediately causing her mouth to water. "Oh yeah, let's go." Claire laughed, the both of them scurrying over to the food stand. On the side of it, there was a menu. There was all sorts of food, Claire was in heaven. "What are you going to get honey?" He asked as he pulled out his black leather wallet. "The cheeseburger and fries, you?" "Chicken tenders with mac and cheese." He responded, pulling out 35$.

The worker of the stand had a elderly manly smile as he noticed the money Leon had grabbed out, business must be slow. "Just the cheeseburger with fries combo and the chicken tenders with mac and cheese combo." Leon spoke with a friendly tone. The man nodded, placing the cash in the register. Leon and Claire took a seat down at the picnic table, adjusting themselves til they were comfortable.

"After we eat, I just wanna check out a few more enclosures, okay? I really wanna see some bears and tigers." "Sounds good with me babe." Leon stated, interlocking his hands together. The sun was beaming down on both of them, their bodies heating up. They also didn't bring sun screen nor put it on before coming here, yeah, they'd have one helluva time with being sunburnt.

"It's so hot out." Claire whined, resting her head on the table. Leon reached one of his hands out and stroked her hair to the side. "I know babygirl, but at least the breeze feels nice." He comforted her, loving the feeling of her soft and brushed hair. "We should buy a pool." Claire snickered, waiting for Leon's response. "Yeah we do, maybe I'll buy us one soon." Leon assured her, "You're just so needy, huh baby?" He whispered. "Mhm." Claire mumbled out. She was definitely a needy one, but she was easy to please.

Claire relished in the feeling of Leon playing with her hair. It awakened such a comforting feeling in her. She felt safe with him, especially whenever he was touching her in any capacity. Whether it be his hands on her back, her face or her waist, she feels good. She's grateful he's not one of those men who is afraid to be touchy with her, because if he was, she doesn't know if she'd still be with him. But he willingly shows off his obsession with her. Claire is beyond in love with Leon and it shows.

"Mmm, I love you." Claire groaned out. "Love you honey." Leon replied, moving his hand away from her hair as their food was ready. The worker waved them. "One second." Leon grunted as he stood up. He walked over to the stand, taking both of the styrofoam containers in hand. Both smelt great which was awfully surprising considering it's from a food stand. He turnt around to Claire, setting her food in front of her, an enlightened look appearing on her face. She was definitely going to devour that cheeseburger.

Claire popped the top off of the container, the smell of her food infusing into her nostrils. Oh, it smelt great. She immediately grabbed a frie, taking a bite of it and moaning. Leon couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. "Gotta feed my baby before she gets hangry." He teased, sitting across from her. "I have always been a foodie." She responded, taking the top bun off of her burger and placing some fries in it. "You're the first person I've ever seen do that." "Really? It's such a common thing to do."

She took a giant bite from the burger, reveling in the classic taste of it. It made her mouth water and her stomach full, she was so happy to finally get some food into her system. As for Leon, he just ate normally, taking casual bites of his tenders and swifts noms of his mac & cheese, pretty good. "This cheeseburger is so good, better than the ones we had at that restaurant last week!" Claire expressed, taking a mini bite now. "Better be, I paid 15$ for it." He joked, stealing one of her fries.

"Hey, now you gotta give me a bite of your mac and cheese!" Claire put on a playful stern face. Leon snickered, dipping his fork into the creamy noodles and scooping some up for her. Claire quickly snatched a bite, making a high pitched humming noise in reply, "Yum." She mumbled, eating some more of her french fries.

They sat in silence, keeping to themselves as they ate. Claire was... Well... Clearly, enjoying her food. Her cheeseburger was already practically gone, she must've really been hungry. Leon plans on not eating it all and instead bringing it home for later, he's not all to hungry. He can't tell if it's cause he's truly just not ready to eat or if it's his mind not wanting him to. At this point, he often has to force himself to eat, it's rough. Whenever Claire cooks dinner, of course he eats it but most of the time, he's full, or feels full. But for her, he'll do literally anything.

"Damn baby, you can really eat." Leon laughed, admiring her persistence. "Yeah! I was starving hun." Claire giggled, gobbling up her french fries. "You're so adorable." Leon added, taking a couple more bites of his mac and cheese before containing it back up to save for home. "Are you not hungry baby?" Claire had a worrisome tone. "Nah, I'll eat later babygirl but don't rush, continue to eat and if you're still hungry, you can have my food." "Psh, don't worry, I'm already getting full, just let me eat a few more fries." She stated with a glimmer.

As she ate, Claire pulled out her phone, going onto the camera app. "Baby, smile." Claire beamed at the camera, snapping a photo of her & Leon together. Although, he didn't smile, he gave a half assed grin. "Can you ever look like you're happy with me?" Claire scoffed with a chuckle, turning her phone off after viewing the picture. "I'm always happy with you babygirl." Leon whispered, taking another one of her fries and eating it. "I hope so." Claire replied.

Leon put a soft look on his face, concerned with her response. Leon stretched his hand out and took her hand in his, caressing it gently with his thumb. "Baby, you don't actually question my happiness with you, do you?" Leon questioned her, squeezing her hand softly, wanting to hear her answer. "No, I don't, I just really want you to be happy, always." Claire responded, leaning her head down and pressing a loving kiss to his big hand, nuzzling her head against it.

He nodded, stroking her hair a few times before pulling his hand away and standing up. "You all done?" "Yes, here." Claire answered, giving her container to Leon so he could throw it away. Leon took it, turning around swiftly and dropping it into the garbage can. He'd have to carry his styrofoam box around until they leave but he doesn't really mind, they won't be here much longer anyways. Claire also got up, yawning moderately as she took Leon's hand in hers, causing him to feel a warm, happy feeling.

"Let's head to those bears, shall we?" Claire smiled, skipping along the pavement. From where they were, the bears were about a two minute walk away according to the map. "Let's go then." Leon responded. "Do you know what kind of bears there is?" "I'm pretty sure brown bears, that's what it said on the website at least." "Oh, okay, at least it's not polar bears." Leon joked. "They're very devious. Y'know, dolphins are also menaces, they're super evil, sometimes even towards humans." Claire spoke.

Leon knew that but for Claire's sake, he acted like he didn't, "You just know everything, huh?" Leon teased her. Claire tittered at his words.

At the exhibit, Claire was so excited to see the bears. While she was terrified of them, they were just big cuddly babies and if they weren't aggressive, she'd totally have one as a pet. "Oh baby, they're so adorable." Claire voiced, smiling through the thick glass and waving to the bears. They seemed totally uninterested. "They're probably exhausted, all they do is show off to people." "Poor little guy's, alongside the wolves, we've gotta take these guy's too." Claire chortled, lightly tapping her fingers on the glass but not enough for the bears to hear.

"Want me to take the photos this time?" "Sure babe, just my back right pocket." Claire said softly, poking her rear out for him. Leon couldn't help but bite his lip, man he was lucky. "Cute." He scoffed playfully, logging into her phone and opening the camera application. He knew Claire was picky so he'd have to run the photos by her first. "Alright baby, want a photo of each one or...?" "Yeah, each one and one of all of them please."

Obliging, Leon began to click the button, taking a photo of each bear. They were so lazy looking, very peaceful, not a care in the world. "Heh, that one is asleep." Leon chuckled, Claire as well. "Baby, if we were animals, what would we be?" Claire questioned her husband. "Definitely either fish or deer, why?" "Curious on your thoughts. I think we'd be birds and fly free together." Claire whispered, resting her head on his shoulder as he took the final pic, they turned out nicely.

"Onwards and upwards baby." Leon took her hand in his. "Did you take a look at where the tiger enclosure is?" "Just up ahead, then after that we can get going, yeah?" Claire smiled, the sun making their skin feel more heated than ever. Claire was dying to feel the car's AC on her body. "This heat is killing me." She whined again. "We can go to the car now if you want honey." "No... I wanna see the tigers." Claire stated sternly, making sure she already has her phone out. She was set in her ways, as always.

Stepping up the stairs that were made out of concrete, the largest enclosure of them all sat right before them. There were multiple tigers in it, most of them relaxing but there was one baby tiger roaming around. "Holy shit baby, they have a baby!" Claire said in awe, crouching down and smiling at it. The tiger ran up to the glass and pawed at it, it's eyes shiny and pretty. "Sweetie, take a photo." Claire murmured, handing her phone to Leon. He knew this meant so much to her. He took a couple quick images of Claire and the tiny tiger.

"I did it honey." Leon whispered back, sliding her phone into her pocket. Claire giggled as the mama tiger came over, as if to protect it's baby. "Don't worry mama." Claire said softly, her tone soothing. The two tigers just stood there, looking at Claire. They didn't seem aggressive or anything, rather curious. Claire gave them one last smile before slowly standing up, not wanting to make any sudden movements. "You're like mother nature." Leon joked, wrapping his arm around her as she stepped back.

Making eye contact a little longer, Claire took one last photo of the two tigers, in absolute shock by their actions. "They were so precious." Claire giggled, watching as they walked off further into the enclosure. "They seemed to enjoy your company." Leon smiled, kissing her cheek, "Just like I do." He was such a flirt. Claire snorted, taking his hand in hers, "C'mon you dork, let's get to the car, we can stop and look at some more on our way out." She giggled, their hands interlocked.

Just outside of the apartment window, wet rain droplets poured upon it, covering it in water. Occasionally, the sound of thunder could be heard, causing Claire's cat to scurry around the apartment and hide underneath either her bed or table. It didn't bother Claire though, if anything, it was peaceful. She just enjoyed it whilst she read on her bed. She was currently reading that new 'Twilight' series everyone has been boasting about.

Aside from the rain, it was dark out already. It was 9:00 so no wonder. The moon was out and glimmering up the sky. It's glint was bright. It wasn't noticeable from her apartment but if Claire looked out her window, through the coated water on it, she'd definitely be able to spot it.

Overall, it was an angelic night. Serene. Calming. Abstract. It was nice. It was the perfect night to just chillax and that's exactly what Claire was doing. Her bed was in the middle of the living room, the bedroom was used for a mini office / library. She doesn't mind sleeping in the living room anyways, she's closer to her cat, Miracle, that way.

Laying back on her bed, she continued to read, so far she was pleased with it. Through Kindle, she read a few reviews and they were all positive so she gave the book a shot and she's glad that she did. Usually, she only reads horror or psychological books, a romance isn't often in the question but she's been feeling romantical lately, especially considering she just got a boyfriend, Leon.

She's known Leon for quite some time now, since July - It's October. They met through her big brother who works for the same Police Department. The second she seen Leon, she found him to be handsome. A little crush did in fact develop but she kept it to herself until a little earlier this month, Leon asked her out. Their date went very well and Claire was head over heels for him, more than she could fathom. He felt the same way. He asked her to be his girlfriend on Monday - It's been a week.

She's been like a fan girl with him, thinking about him all throughout her day, messaging and calling him. He's been reciprocating it too which makes her fall even more for him. Her brother says it's just puppy love but it really doesn't feel like that. Then again, it has only been a week. An attachment to Leon has definitely formed, there's no doubting that. Leon ever said to her that he finds her to be the most beautiful girl he's ever seen - That made her squeal like a school girl.

Admittedly, the same goes for him. He's very cute in Claire's eyes. Of course, all of her friends tease her and claim, "He has a baby face." But Claire doesn't care, he's handsome to her and that is all that matters. Besides, all of her friends either go for the asshole jocks or the stoners, at least Claire has an officer as a boyfriend! She's upgraded above all else.

It was like she summoned him because right as she put her book down, thinking of him, the sound of her phone buzzing was heard, causing her to immediately hop up off of her bed and grab it, seeing who it was from. It was indeed Leon. His message read, "Hey, just got home from work. You up?" Claire couldn't help but jump a few times whilst biting her lip. She's waited all damn day to hear from him. His job consumes up so much of his time, it's annoying but she understands.

Claire immediately began to type, her fingers moving at a rapid pace as she did. "Yes, I am up. How was work?" She messaged back, anxious waiting for a reply. She held onto her phone as she sat back down onto her bed. Her cat, Miracle was sitting hiding underneath it in fear of the storm so Claire was careful getting on it, not wanting to freak her pet out further. Her phone buzzed again as Leon messaged back, he must've been waiting for a reply too.

"It was fine. I missed you though." Leon's message was so sweet. Claire let out an audible "Awe". She felt so loved by him, even if their relationship wasn't that far yet. She definitely has some sort of love for him, even if it hasn't blossomed much yet. She can't expect it to. It's been literally a week. Claire just moves way to fast for her own good, no wonder she would lose boyfriends so easier. She'll take her time with Leon considering she really likes him.

"Awe, I missed you. What are you up to?" Claire sent to him, scooching herself higher onto her bed, resting her head against her fluffy pillows. Right as she was about to close the messaging app, Leon responded with not only a text, but an image too. The image was of him in bed, literally in the same position as Claire. It's like they're connected or something. "Laying down and watching TV. You?"

Claire decided to also take a picture of herself, but she wanted to look irresistible for him. She wanted him to say something about her appearance, he does, but he hasn't over message, that way she can savour the text forever.

Still laying down, her hair was in a ponytail and it was quite messy, but that was a good thing. She adjusted her brunette hair to be in frame of the camera, making it look 'messily cute', a lot of guy's find that attractive ; At least guy's she's been with. She had a necklace on with a feather on it. Her brother bought it for her on Christmas of last year and she's worn it ever since. That paired with her red tank top with lace flowery trimming on it. She thinks it's good enough.

Snapping the pic, Claire posed at an angle where her neck was flashing and her face was tilted slightly. It was like a trap for men. She knew all the tricks. Although, she's forgetting that her relationship with Leon is meant to be taken more seriously. She does genuinely feel for him, like never before. He's super sweet and understanding, no other guy has been like that towards Claire. It's made her like him immensely and vice versa.

Claire sent the photo along with a message saying, "Cute. I am also laying in bed, I was reading though." Then she waited. She was nervous to say what he'd say. Not only nervous but also in high spirits. She knew he'd say something. She was confident. She turned her phone off and set it beside her pillow before she got up off of the bed. She was concerned about Miracle, wanting her to feel safe.

"Miracle baby, come to mama." Claire cooed out beside the end of the bed. Whenever Miracle was scared, this is exactly what she'd do. She was quite skittish.

Claire has owned Miracle for about a year now. She was a stray that would roam outside her apartment and from time to time, she'd feed her. At first, she called her "Mimi" but when Claire was at a very dark point in her life, Miracle started to show up more and eventually trusted Claire enough to take her in. Miracle was Claire's miracle. A light at the end of her tunnel. And now she has to miracles, her and Leon.

"C'mon now honey, it's ok..." Claire said delicately, being very gentle with her. Miracle was sleuth too, always wanting to be hiding. It wasn't easy to get her out of her little enclosed spaces. "Tsk, tsk tsk, here kitty, kitty, kitty." Claire purred out, being lovey to the cat. Within seconds of Claire saying that, her head popped out. Miracle pulled herself out from under the bed. She was a fluffy white cat, not tot big nor too small, but Claire had to fatten her up due to her being super underweight.

"Hey sugar." Claire whispered, petting the top of her head. Miracle pushed her head into Claire's hand, wanting more physical affection - She was an attention seeker. "It's okay Miracle." Her reassuring words calmed Miracle down, making her more resilient to listen. "Come with me." Claire lifted the cat into her arms, rubbing her belly for a couple seconds before setting her down on the bed. Miracle set herself into a loaf position. "What do all cats do that?" Claire giggled to herself, walking over to the fridge and pulling out one of Miracles treats.

She was a good kitty for being brave enough to come out to Claire.

Pulling the ceramic paper off of the white plastic bowl, Claire put it on the bed in front of Miracle. "Eat up hun." Claire scratched her head, leaning down and leaving a kiss on her. She adores Miracle a lot.

As she went to go to the bathroom, wondering if Leon would ever even reply, she could tell her phone buzzed considering Miracle got distracted by it. "Oh now you just eat, ignore that." Claire tittered, sitting down on the edge of the bed and typing her password in. Leon's message nearly made Claire pass out. He even hearted the image of her. "You're very pretty. How did I manage to get this lucky?" Claire instantly wanted to message him back.

"You say that as if you aren't handsome. More like, how did I get lucky?" Claire teased her boyfriend through text. Their banter was often like this. Claire thinks their shared sense of humor has broughten them closer together. Now she could go to the bathroom and hopefully come out to a message from Leon.

Ambling out of the bathroom, Claire noticed she had two notifications from Leon. "You're adorable..." Was his first message. "But I think I am going to go to sleep here in a few minutes, probably after this episode but tomorrow we can call since I have the day off, yeah?" Was his second. He definitely needed his rest, he was most likely spent after working at the R.P.D all day, Claire couldn't blame him at all.

"Understandable. You need to sleep. We can totally call tomorrow! See you then, Leon." Was Claire's reply. "Great. Goodnight Claire." Leon sent his final message of the night, it was a good way to end it off. Claire blushed at his message, feeling a passionate warmth fill her up inside. Anytime Leon referred to her by her name, she couldn't help but giggle at it too. "Goodnight Leon <3." And sent.

The rest of the night, up until Claire ultimately fell asleep while reading, Leon was on her mind. He made her feel more than happy. She was merry when speaking to him. She was joyous when thinking about him. She was jubilant when around him. Everything about this man draws her in. He reels her in like a fish, and she can't help but fall for him. He's a gorgeous man and aside from that, a perfect one too.

Claire slept great that night, cuddled up beside Miracle. The rain eventually got lighter as it let up, it was the perfect white noise for a good night's sleep.

Leon woke up around 8:00 AM and it was now 8:20, he gave himself a while to really wake up. He was exhausted last night. All the retraining he's been going through has been overexerting him heavily. His eyes were still heavy too as he drank his hot coffee, hoping it'll wake him up somewhat. He also had the newspaper in front of him, scanning it over a few times just to occupy himself. It was all boring political stuff he couldn't care less about.

He awaited a message from Claire all morning, he didn't wanna message her and seem all clingy but he really has been contemplating it. Although, messaging Claire is what makes him chipper. It's what distracts him. Anytime they get to message is a lovely one. And seeing her last night, woo, it had Leon all over the place. He kept scrolling back up to the image, just gazing at her pretty self. Once again, he ponders on how he was able to get so lucky.

Last night's storm was a wreck. Just through Leon's large window, he could see some trees were damaged. Over near his apartment, it was bad. Claire lives about 30 minutes away near her campus so he's unaware on how bad it is. He just hopes she and her kitty are alright ; He is however aware that Miracle is scared of tedious things like storms.

He recalls a story Claire told him on how when she first took Miracle in, she was terrified of the refrigerator. Claire would just open the fridge and she'd began to freak herself out. Claire was actually concerned when it began to happen, she felt like she couldn't even eat at that point. It made Leon laugh his ass off first hearing of it. A cat having a fear of refrigerators was something totally new to him. But now, Miracle is content with them. Enemies to Friends then.

Leon's only been to Claire's place once and that's when he got to meet Miracle. She's a sweetheart.

Finishing off the last few drops of his coffee, Leon sighed and placed the cup on his round kitchen table that was polished wood. Leon liked how cozy his apartment was. He only recently moved in too, considering he's only been apart of the R.P.D for a couple months now. Leon just felt blessed to have a roof over his head and a place to call home. With house prices nowadays, he was worried he wouldn't be able to get one. But this apartment came in handy.

Every few seconds, Leon's eyes would dart from the newspaper to his phone, hoping there'd be a message from Claire but there never was. It was foolish of him, the way he was thinking. He just really didn't wanna seem like he was all about Claire - Worried that she'd leave him if he was. Then again, what if she felt the exact same way? Many thoughts roamed through Leon's head, not quite knowing what to follow.

Fuck it.

Leon picked his compact phone up, swiping it open and clicking on the iMessage app, quickly opening Claire's contact up. He has it under 'Claire' right now but has wanted to change it to something more cute, though he doesn't want anyone to see. Yes, they're dating, but only newly. It's still a very fresh relationship. He wants to take it slow, he thinks she does too. Rushing into things never ends well and Leon wants this to never end. Forever, maybe?

"Good morning. Just wanted to see how your morning was going." Leon said to her through message, praying she'll reply sooner more than later. With each passing day, they've gotten more comfortable with one another. Everyday, they message more than the last and it's got to the point where they call. Is that going to fast? Leon doesn't think so. It's good to feel safe with your partner, that's what you want, right? He's content with this pace.

He knows she doesn't have any classes today, she never does, especially since she'll be graduating here soon. She could just be sleeping in, which would be okay, he's willing to wait. He simply yearns for her. To speak with her. Claire has consumed Leon's thoughts. He hopes he's done the same to her. Claire seems all about him, but he doesn't know if it's just a front. Chris kind of hinted that she's dated around many times and he doesn't wanna be some boy toy for her but if she claims she's matured, he'll put his trust in her.

Slipping his phone in his pocket, Leon grabbed his mug and placed it in the sink - He'd do the dishes later. For now, until Claire answers, he just wants to either watch TV or work out.

Around 10:30 AM, Leon was using his punching bag. His fists continuously pounding into the weighted cylinder, his arms gaining muscle the longer he did it. It was a distraction from the fact Claire still hadn't answered him. Well, until now.

Ding!

Leons head shot around when he heard his phone go off. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and took off his fingerless gloves, tossing them aside. His hands felt semi numb after the intense workout he had just endured but he has to do it to stay in shape. It also makes him feel good, energized. It keeps him going. The notification was infact from Claire. His dearest had messaged him. He pulled his fist down with haste, clearly happy to finally hear from her.

The message read, "Hi, good morning. So sorry I didn't respond sooner, I have been studying all morning without my phone. My morning has been okay, how about yours?" Leon felt a relieved sigh overcome him. He's glad she wasn't ignoring him or something, only she was studying. She was a keen girl, she knew a lot. In College, she was studying English Lit in hopes of becoming an English teacher at a middle school. He knows that she can do it. He has faith in her.

He began to type a message out to her, contemplating on what to say.

"Hey, no worries. Studying matters more. My morning has been okay as well, mainly consisted of working out but hey, that's what a police man has to do, right?" His message was implied to be taken as a joke. He likes to play around with her. They're often goofy together anyways.

Only seconds later, Leon received a new message from her. "Guess so. Glad your morning was okay though. Any plans for the day?" Her message was short and sweet, Leon couldn't help but leer at it. She has him yearning for her, even over the most basic words. "Not really but if you're still able to call later today, I am totally up for that." Leon shot the message, feeling quite flustered sending it. He doesn't get why considering he asked her last night. He gets so jittery over the stupidest of things.

"I can totally still call later, I'd love to. Just give me a time and I'll be ready!" Her message caused what felt like his stomach doing backflips. She was too cute. The way she texted was adorable to Leon. He felt like a bore with the way he messaged but Claire hasn't said whether he's good or bad at it. "I would say around 2:00 PM works for me, gotta go grocery shopping soon so once I am done with that, we can call." "Sounds great, can't wait to hear your voice."

She can't wait to hear his voice? Leon felt his heart thump in his chest. He felt like The Mask in that one scene where his eyes pop out of his skull and his tongue springs out of his mouth. She has such a way with words.

But it's true, Leon definitely had to run some errands today, despite really not wanting to. His fridge is basically empty and not only that, he's out of a few necessities for his apartment so there's that too.

"Well, I can't wait to hear yours either. Talk to you soon." Leon then pocketed his phone. He'd rather get this stuff done sooner than later. He'd practically be out all day so the sooner, the better.

Opening his front door, Leon had multiple bags in his hands and on his arms, wanting to only make one trip. The walk from his apartment to the parking garage was way to long for his liking. He dropped off all the bags in his kitchen, letting out an expire of relief, the weight finally off of his arms. Not only did he grocery shop, he also bought some stuff for work and just for himself. He deserved it.

He even looked at stuff for Claire but didn't end up finding anything he thought she'd like.

Taking off his leather jacket, he hung it up on the back of one of the kitchen chairs and snagged his phone out of it. He had no recent messages from Claire, she must've just not known what to say. But now it was around 2 PM so they could call and Leon couldn't wait. He felt glorious for getting the time crunch correct. He just wants to make sure she is still free to call now.

"Hi. Officially home. Able to call still?" He kept it simple, not wanting to seem overbearing. He already felt like a burden as it was.

Now he waits.

2:20 PM, Leon heard his phone go off as he loaded food into the fridge, making it finally look full again. He speeded up the process, wanting to see if it was Claire or not ASAP. He set the last food in, Chicken Wraps, before closing the door of the refrigerator, sighing softly. He picked up his phone and smirked, enjoying what she had to say. "Able to call anytime you want. Anything for you." Leon found that to be enticing and rather sweet.

Without further ado, Leon pressed the green phone icon, ringing Claire up. Only after four rings, Claire answered the phone, a soft sigh on her end being made out. Leon was so delighted that he'd finally be able to hear her lovely voice again.

"Hey Claire." He voiced softly, sitting down in the chair. "Leon, hi, so great to hear from you." She responded, her voice low. Maybe Miracle was asleep beside her or something. "How has your day been so far?" "It's been okay, studied for a while and I just finished lunch." "Oh, what did you make?" "Frozen dumplings." Claire snorted, being blunt. It wasn't like she was made of money and could purchase better foods. She's a College student after all.

"We've all been there but I think all that really matters is that you ate." Leon cooed out, his voice seemingly gleeful. "How's your day been though? Was the shopping any fun?" "It was okay, just glad I stopped procrastinating." Leon chuckled over the phone, earning a giggle out of Claire. "Like you said, we've all been there." Her voice was gentle, she was so nurturing. "We have been. I think after we're done calling, I'll make me some chicken salad. Dunno why but I've been craving it."

After Leon said that, Claire let out a joking gag, clearly not having a taste for that food.

"Gross! But eat whatever you'd like." His girlfriend teased him. "Oh? You don't like it? That's a shame." "No, not at all, it's rancid. Over my dead body would I eat it." Claire giggled again, she sounded beautiful. Leon couldn't get enough of her angelic voice. "That's alright, but you better like tuna salad." "I do. Definitely more my style." Claire snickered. Leon also bellowed.

"When do you think we can see each other again?" Claire asked Leon, clearly wanting him. Leon felt a sense of bliss overcome him. She wanted to see him? "Soon, I promise." "How soon?" "Well, how about tomorrow? I'll come by your place after work." "Really? I would love that." Claire articulated, her tone sunny. She was happy. She loves seeing Leon because it's just not the same over the phone. Leon feels the same.

"How was Miracle last night? I don't know if it was storming over there or not but, if it was." Leon asked, his voice worrisome. "She was apprehensive but eventually came out and slept in bed with me. Thank you for asking, it shows you care." "Well of course I care, you're my girl now." Leon chortled, his tone enchanting. He really made Claire feel good. Loved. Was he already in love with her? "I'm glad."

"Speaking of caring, I would love to take you out soon." He admitted. It's true, he has. They've only really been on one date, he'd love to go out on another with her. "Oh? To where?" "Anywhere." He stated. "It doesn't matter, as long as I'm with you." Leon cooed to his girlfriend. Claire's cheeks heated up at her boyfriend's kind words. "Well okay then." Claire giggled at his words. She once again felt like her inner child was being held by this man.

"You have any plans for later today?" "No, probably study more and watch a movie." "Oh, sounds interesting. Me either, probably just going to make dinner here soon, watch my show." Leon spoke. Claire nodded, her phone still up to her ear. "What are you going to make for dinner?" "Haven't quite decided yet... Either Steak or Pasta, both sound tasty." "Yeah they do, I'm just stuck with either frozen food or takeout." Claire laughed. Being a College student is rough.

"I know but it's for the greater good, you're in College, you'll eventually be a teacher and all will be well." Leon reassured her. He was ambitious, more than she was. He was a reason to keep pushing through. "I know. Thank you." Claire said with tranquil. Leon was a sweetie pie. "I just can't wait til I graduate, I hope there are good job openings." "It'll depend but with your record, you'll be sure to get one sooner than later." He explained to her. He was right.

Claire took his words to heart. She hopes he's correct.

"Easy for you to say," Claire layed on her stomach, her feet in the air, "you got a job offer quickly." Claire snorted. Leon chuckled. "You got me there baby." That was the first time Leon ever called her a pet name. Claire's eyes widened and her heart was already feeling as if it was out of her chest. This wasn't puppy love. What Claire felt was real and true. "Baby...?" Claire hummed over the phone. "Do you not want to be called that?" "I do. It just surprised me, but I like it." "Good baby." Leon snickered.

Claire bit her lower lip, mentally screaming. She felt a surge of love flow throughout her.

"Leon, can I ask you something?" Claire said hushly. "Anything." "Do you truly like me?" Leon was appalled by her question. Of course he does, why would he be with her if he didn't? If anything, he loves her. "Claire, of course I do, more than anybody." Leon whispered out, sitting up in his chair. "You do? I hope so." Claire soughed. "What's wrong?" "Nothing, I just wanted to know." "If you say so. I do like you Claire, more than you'd be able to know." "I like you a lot as well." She said.

They both sat in silence for a little bit. It felt relaxing. Just hearing Claire's light breathing calmed Leon in a way. She's so precious. She's the most dearest to him. Leon never expected himself to feel this way about someone, but Claire is an exception. She's a great woman. He loves being around her. She makes him laugh. They bonded so easily. It's as if she is the one. And maybe she is.

"Claire, I'm gonna let you go, I should get ready to start dinner and I don't wanna hold up your studying." He said softly. "Aw, okay, I understand." Claire replied, her voice sorrowful. "Let's call later tonight, yeah?" "Sure thing babe." She giggled, Leon twinkled at her remark. "Cute... Well, I'll talk to you later, yeah?" "Yep." "Bye Claire." "Bye bye, Leon." Her voice gently spoke. She seemed upset that Leon had to go but at least they'd be able to call later in the day.

He hung up the phone and set it down, letting out a long and deep sigh. He misses her voice already but he had to get some stuff done, plus she had to study. With her finals coming up, she'll be a lot more busy and it's shitty but Leon was there once too. He gets it. In the meantime though, Leon will start up dinner, he's decided on Pasta ; Pesto to be nitpicky. And he's making it with Rotini Noodles, his personal favorite.

He stood up, and got the supplies out, even turned on some music while he did.

Yet all he could think about was Claire.

And he was all she had her mind on too.

They were both equally on cloud nine.
