The Legend of Zorro (c)

[Leo]

Leo nodded. "we have a guest bedroom, but it'll take a few minutes for Alexander to prepare it. Or there's...my bed." he scratched the back of his head.

"whatever you want is all right with us."

[Kathryn]

"I'll figure something out," she assured him. Even though she knew it would be incredibly improper, she was fully intending on sleeping in his bed... Her parents didn't have to know.

[Leo]

Leo soaked in the hot tub for 20 minutes, especially since he knew Kathryn would be sleeping...Plus he really couldn't get out of the tub because everytime he thought about how Kathryn looked in his robe...or how she was just in this shower before he was...or how she was probably in his bed...well, he became way too excited to leave.

Eventually he got up and dried himself off, feeling a bit better but still sore nonetheless. His body really needed a rest, and after their escape from that house, all those men that they may or may not have killed, either the bad guys will give it a rest for a while, or attack full on for revenge. Leo stepped out of the bathroom, and saw that Kathryn was, indeed, in his bed.

He stood there for a moment, watching her. He had no idea what to do. He didn't wanna leave but he couldn't stand there forever either. This was the worst dilemma he had ever faced.

[Kathryn]

Kathryn just barely awoke when he stepped out of the bathroom, her eyes opening begrudgingly. She mumbled something about him coming to bed, meaning with her. But the girl was practically half-dead. She couldn't really be held accountable for her words or actions at this time. Or that's what she would tell herself.

[Leo]

Leo didn't even hesitate as soon as he was given the invitation. He slid into bed next to her, pulling the covers over them and wrapping an arm protectively around her, spooning her from behind. he shut his eyes, falling asleep instantly, pulling her close.

[Kathryn]

The next time Kathryn awoke, the sun was shining brightly in through the windows of Leo's bedroom. She let out a sleepy groan before realizing her cheek was resting against a man's chest. A man's bare chest. Leo's bare chest. Her eyes shot open, and she sat up, immediately putting a hand to her hair. Oh, she must look a fright.

[Leo]

Her stirring awoke Leo, who blinked awake, groaning a little from a headache. When his eyes landed on Kathryn, he gave her a small smile. "Hey, come back here," he muttered, shutting his eyes again and urging her back to cuddle with him.

[Kathryn]

She looked at him a bit warily but decided to just go with it. She laid back down, resting her cheek on his shoulder and resting her hand gently on his chest. "I wonder what time it is..." she said softly. Her heart had started to beat a bit more quickly than usual. But she'd just been through a traumatic ordeal. It wasn't because Leo looked superb without a shirt on. Of course not.

[Leo]

Groggily, Leo kissed her forehead, eyes still shut. "You doing okay? No nightmares or anything?" He began to rub her hand on his chest with the back of his hand.

[Kathryn]

She smiled to herself, snuggling even more against him. "No, no nightmares. I slept...really well, actually. What about you?"

[Leo]

"Very well," Leo agreed, taking her hand to his lips and kissing it. "If anybody asks, I slept in the guest room."

[Kathryn]

Kathryn let out a soft chuckle, then tilted her head up to look at him. "Leo...?"

[Leo]

"Mmhmm?" he asked, tilting his head towards her, eyes still shut.

[Kathryn]

"What...what are we?" she asked softly. She didn't know any other way to phrase it at the moment.

[Leo]

He opened his eyes then, looking at her. "Whatever you want us to be, querida. I'll...do anything for you. Be anything for you."
