[As for Leon, well... he's more than willing to just leave that in the past. He settles when Stahn does, relaxing curled up nearly against him again. He only catches a small glimpse of that look on his face before Leon's eyes slide shut again, preserving him from the embarrassment of that level that that fondness would bring.
He knows it's there, but it's easier if he can pretend he doesn't see it.
Because even now...that level of love and adoration is really hard for him to understand and embrace.
Even though it means the world to him, even so.
So instead, Leon just...pretends it isn't there, even as he allows it to warm him inside that Stahn cares so much, instead settling against him again with a soft, contented sigh. In the future, someday--it'll be said, and even Leon will be able to handle it. Someday, in the future, they'll be able to say so.
But for now... Leon is happy with this, and Stahn's fingers in his hair are gentle and soothing, and honestly? Even though Stahn wanted to just curl up together for awhile, between their earlier activities and how early Leon tends to wake up, he's...sleepy. And it makes him feel about ready to drift off, as he rests there.]
