"No, it's fine, I've pulled several all-nighters before," Leon explained. He had done a lot of all-nighters through out his life, especially in college and he needed a lot of caffeine to make it through the night.

Thatcher frowned more, but nodded his head anyways. He stared down at his lap for a moment, looking at the water bottle that was rested there. Leon was so close. He was sure that if he turned his head to look at Leon, their lips would be decently close. What was he thinking, though? He didn’t even know if Leon was into males.
Leon blushed slightly again at how close they were as he fiddled with his water bottle. He glanced around his house, not sure what to do, normally he would have been on his phone looking for jobs. But now he wasn't sure what to do, it has been a long time since he's had company at his house.

Thatcher made a note of Leon’s slightly red cheeks, and he shifted a bit where he was sitting before turning his head to look at Leon. He opened his mouth, like he wanted to say something, but nothing came out. He never got choked up, and he didn’t know what was wrong with himself. “Leon..” was all he could say, tone wavering.
Leon glanced at Thatcher when he started talking. "Yes?" he said, getting into a position so he was ready to get up and get something if he needed anything at all.

Thatcher almost seemed nervous, something that wasn’t a common look for him. He thought that maybe he should ask before making any sudden movements. Ask if he could kiss Leon, if he could touch him. But that would sound too formal, wouldn’t it? After a moment of silence between them, he moved the water bottle aside. His hand shifted so it was cupping Leon’s cheek, and he took a chances leaning forward to press his lips lightly to Leon’s.
Leon instantly started blushing as he kissed back and shifted his hand so it was on Thatcher's neck. His mind went blank, forgetting about the hunters and that people might be looking around for them this very second.

Thatcher felt relief wash over him when Leon returned the kiss. His hands moved down so they could lace around Leon’s waist. He pulled Leon a tad closer, his head tilting into the kiss to deepen it.
Leon blushed even more, if that was possible, when Thatcher pulled him closer. His hands moved up so he could wrap his arms around Thatcher's neck. He tilted his head also to deepen the kiss as he laced his fingers together behind Thatcher's neck.

Thatcher continued to kiss Leon slowly for a moment longer before breaking away. He caught his breathe keeping his hands on Leon’s hips. “Was that okay?” He asked, looking at Leon in the eye.
Leon buried his face into Thatcher's shoulder as he nodded, still blushing. "W-Why did you kiss me in the first place?" He asked, his voice slightly muffled from burying his face into Thatcher's shoulder, his arms still wrapped around his neck.

“I just-… I felt like I needed to. I’ve wanted to for a while now, but I kept telling myself that I must be wrong,” Thatcher explained, his hands lightly rubbing at Leon’s hips. “But that didn’t feel wrong at all.”
"Oh…okay then," Leon nodded, still burying his face into Thatcher's shoulder. He was still blushing heavily as he realized that people were looking around for them, trying to kill them. "How are we going to survive with people trying to kill us?"

“I can protect you, Leon. I can keep you safe,” Thatcher answered. His fingers continued to massage Leon’s hips, the tips of his fingers occasionally brushing along his skin instead of the shirt.
"But I don't want you to get hurt," Leon said, trying to think of other ways they could survive. "I could disguise us, or we can just never leave the house and get everything online," He suggested, fiddling with his fingers behind Thatcher's neck.

“It doesn’t matter if I get hurt, I’ll be fine if I do. Besides, you need to be in the ocean sometimes so you don’t dry out,” Thatcher pointed out. His fingers now slipped underneath of Leon’s shirt, feeling and rubbing the bare skin on he sides now.
"True, so then we'd only have to leave once a month. Then we'd have to leave every few weeks to get groceries and stuff like that," Leon said, blushing slightly when Thatcher's hands went under his shirt.

“Are you sure about this? Maybe we’ll be fine, they don’t know where you live,” Thatcher said, continuing to feel skin. Still, he wanted so much more of Leon. He wanted every little bit of him.
"But if someone recognizes us, they might follow one of us to here then they'd tell the police where we live," Leon replied, still blushing slightly. He kept thinking of ways which would make them unnoticeable when they go outside. They could just stay home and rarely go outside, or they could make themselves look completely different and then go outside.

“We should just be very careful then. We can not stay cooped up in this house for the rest of our lives,” Thatcher said. He didn’t want to be locked up in this place. As decent as it sounded to stay here with Leon, he needed to get out and do his thing, or he’d get extremely restless.
"So, I can disguise us? I know how to do makeup, don't ask why," Leon said. It had been a long time since he's done makeup on himself or anyone, the last he did it he was a young teenager. He had learned from his mom how to do makeup and he usually did it to disguise himself instead of making himself look prettier.

“You can go on ahead and do that, but I don’t think I want makeup on my face,” Thatcher mumbled with a slight frown. He didn’t like the thought of it much. He considered himself to be a masculine person, and he had never thought to wear makeup.
"Okay then," Leon said with a slight laugh. "I'll have to go to the store to get some makeup, temporary hair color spray, and contacts," He said. He thought of other stuff he might need to buy and what he wanted to end up looking like. Usually he made himself look like a brunette with blue eyes or a blond with gray eyes.

“And I will go with you,” Thatcher added with a nod of his head. He felt a new protectiveness over Leon, the need to keep him safe a bit stronger now. He tilted Leon’s head off of his shoulder, pecking his lips for a moment before leaning back against the sofa.
"Okay then, let's go," Leon said with a nod. He opened his water bottle to take a sip before he got up and put on his converse. He went on his phone to see how much it would cost while leaning against the wall.

Thatcher stood up, brushing his hair back with his hand as he glanced around. He adjusted the collar of his trench coat, lips pursed as he glanced at Leon for a brief moment.
"So, ready to go?" Leon asked, looking up from his phone and Thatcher. He opened the door and held it open while bowing. "The Grim Reaper may exit first," He said sarcastically with a slight laugh.

Thatcher shook his head a tad at the joke, the corners of his lips twitching upwards in a light smile. It took him a moment, but he thought that was the first time he had ever really smiled around Leon. He didn’t bring that up though, simply just stepped outside.
Leon followed him and locked the door. He smiled at him, pecking his lips before walking towards his motorcycle. He started his motorcycle and sat down while putting in the directions to the store on his phone.

“I’ll ride with you, I’m too tired to shift,” Thatcher said, getting onto the motorcycle behind Leon. He wrapped his arms around Leon’s waist, tilting his head so he could press his lips to the side of Leon’s neck for a moment.
