[Stahn is truly the greatest of saps. Leon blinks when their noses touch, but he doesn't pull away or complain. He wasn't expecting it, no, but it's a cute gesture of love and fondness, so why would he ever complain? Instead, he remains there, nose pressed to Stahn's and expression content, even as he meets his gaze.
Because these things Stahn's saying... they're a lot, of course, but they're also not exactly a surprise to Leon. It's always been apparent that Stahn would like nothing more than to protect Leon and his smile, to make sure that he's warm and safe and happy, and to be there for him always.
Because Stahn's always done everything he can to do just that for Leon. Isn't that why he's loved him so much from the start?]
You've done enough. I am certain...that I could never ask for more.
[As long as he has Stahn, he thinks, he'll be able to smile like this.
Marriage doesn't even cross Leon's mind in this context; no, here all he can think is of their closeness, and how warm this is, and how pleased he is to be this close to Stahn, even naked like this, and it's so much sappiness that he's almost not sure how to handle it.
And then.
A blob of suds from the shampoo slides down his face, and Leon wrinkles his nose at the sensation, blinking and coming back to himself as he realizes that they've both been sitting here in the cooling bath water without really having accomplished any true washing.]
... We truly should get cleaned up, however. [They're just a sudsy mess right now.]
