Hi Ali, how are you?? hope u fine!! I know you not taking request for a time, but i was missing Leon and Rebeca, and with the Christmas near, i was thinking if this year, she would come with him in the schalke`s party??

Okay, so I had to write down this drabble. I JUST HAD TO. Haha. P.S. I wrote this really quickly and didn’t actually do some timeline/continuity checks from the past stories so, I’m sorry if some things don’t match up to TYTW and Happily Sometimes After.

Enjoy!

“You look gorgeous,” Leon told her, nudging her leg withhis.

They were seated side by side on the backseat of Benni’scar. They would have taken Leon’s, but neither Benni nor Steph—or Leon, forthat matter—trusted Rebeca not to run away and disappear again like last year. Theypractically had her under 24-hour surveillance since yesterday.

“Thanks,” Rebeca acknowledged. “You look like Satan leadingme to hell.”

Leon laughed. “Come on, Rebeca. It won’t be so bad. You’vehung out with a lot of them, haven’t you?”

“Not as a group. Not on a club-sanctioned event,” she said throughgritted teeth.

Benni sighed. “Here we go again.”

“Don’t you start, Benedikt Howedes,” Rebeca said.

Steph started to laugh, but disguised it unsuccessfully witha cough. Leon kept beaming at her, like getting her to go to the Christmasparty was a personal success that deserved, like, a Nobel peace prize orsomething.

Come to think of it, maybe it did.

“You’ll have fun, I promise. I’ll even let you grab my asssecretly, I know how much you like doing that at parties—“

“I do not!”

She did.

But in her defense, he liked doing that to her too.

She lowered her voice so that only Leon can hear. “There isno ‘let’. I grab what I want, when I want.”

“This is why I want you to be the future mother of four outof my five children,” Leon said, clutching his chest. “Hey Steph, would youlike to be the m—“

“Just try and continue that sentence, Leon,” Benni said in adeceptively mild voice.

Leon winked at Rebeca who answered with an eye-roll. In therecent months, Leon had taken to teasing his captain about his increasing possessivenessabout Steph. It was funny sometimes, annoying most of the time.

Steph had mentioned to her once that he suspected this wasLeon’s way of acting out because of her badly kept secret ex-crush on Benni.

“Don’t think I had not noticed you chose to wear yellow, honey,” Leon said.

“Oh, I was aiming for you and everyone to notice,” she said.

Leon maturely stuck his tongue out at her, then leaned downto give her a soft, teasing peck on the lips, pulling away when she tried tokiss him back.

“We’re here,” Steph said.

“Ready, Rebeca?”

“Never!”

“I love you, too.”

And then Leon was opening the door, holding out his hand forher.

Oh, the things she do for love.
