Plan B
Leon was simply pissed off.
He'd managed to locate D - and to catch him before he fled for the umpteenth time.
They'd both admitted that there was much more than just respect, friendship and simple attraction between them.
Back in L.A, they were already living like a couple - they had a kid, bunches of pets (too many if you listened to Leon, but it was D's trade after all), and in fact the only thing missing in their lives was the house with a garden and a white fence. Well, that and crashing in the same bed to mambo together and do dirty things all night long.
Now, the only missing thing was the aforementioned house with its white fence, but Leon much preferred staying at the pet shop. It meant that he'd get to eat the nice meals prepared by D's chef - and that was rather nice.
Most important, by living at the shop Leon could pounce his lover the instant they closed the door in the evening.
They'd learnt to make concessions. Leon agreed to eat vegetarian food and to stop smoking. D agreed to have an HD television set and not to growl when Leon watched cable.
They were getting used to living together as a couple.
It was a bumpy road, and right now Leon was simply pissed off.
He'd been watching MTV when D joined him, and now D was almost drooling. His D was drooling as he watched the video of a female singer. Of course, Leon didn't know if it was because of the singer or because of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-esque elements in Fergilicious.
Instead of literally growling, Leon decided that it was time for Plan B.
Leon went to the kitchen and got from the fridge the box he'd stored for emergencies like this one.
Leon came back to sit down next to his lover - who was still drooling.
Leon opened the box, and D's supernatural power to smell chocolate made him swirl towards Leon.
'Belgian pralines?' D asked, even though he already knew the answer was positive.
Leon started eating the chocolates.
'Leon?' D said, clearly puzzled.
'D?'
'May I have a praline?' D asked.
'I don't know. You seem much more interested in the lady,' Leon said, eating a second praline.
'No!' D protested.
Leon placed a third praline between his lips, and he beckoned to D. Before Leon could even blink, D's lips were on his, and they were sharing the praline and a loving kiss.
Leon grabbed the remote and turned the TV set off. Tomorrow he'd change their cable package,
but tonight he had to remind his sugar-addicted lover who he belonged to - and he'd do just that.
