I do want to take care of him! That's why I'm helping him meet people! 😊
[If Leona means directly taking care of his suit, well... he (sort of) already offered and got rejected.]
But if you want to get to know him better, here's some info! Leo-kun's a fellow idol, but he's also a composer. Making music is his passion in life, and he loves hearing people's voices. I'm sure he'd be happy to share some of his songs with you, since music is his first language.
He's also in a unit called Knights, where they act chivalrous and call their fans "princesses." That's another reason I thought you two would be a good match - he's a knight, and you're a prince! 👑❤️⚔️ Doesn't that seem like the perfect fit?
Also, did you know that "Leo" is the Latin word for "lion"? That's a funny coincidence, is it not? It makes this even more fitting! 🥰
[ did he... want to know more about him.......... probably not? still, it's not like he can keep hiyori from going on and on. he's not going to ignore the information being presented to him. all leona can do is sigh, grit his teeth, and bear it.
though. it is very odd how coincidental these facts happen to be. the music part he could probably live without. the rest? ]
okay. so some of it doesn't sound that bad. but here's the thing, you're only telling me the good. if you want me to take you seriously, you have to give me the other side of things.
he can't and won't be perfect. i'm not asking for perfect. but if he's going to irritate me all the way to the finish, i don't want to chuck him across the room.
[ hiyori hasn't been around leona with his suit being active before, if he wants to experience true fear. ]
[Hiyori is also not fun to be around when his suit is active, but he still raises an eyebrow at that message.]
That sounds awfully violent! I know lions are supposed to be big and scary, but surely you *must* have more restraint than that.
But since you asked about Leo-kun's flaws, here goes!
1. He gets lost easily! If you ask him to meet you somewhere, he might not show up because he got lost! That's why I'd recommend going to him instead.
2. He forgets people's names sometimes! But it's not because he doesn't like them. On the contrary, he's very affectionate. He's just better at remembering things like voices. Those are what resonate with his heart.
3. If you take him to a cafe or a restaurant, he might start scribbling on the placemat because he got inspired to compose a piece of music! Or if not the placemat, then a napkin. Or the walls sometimes. But if you're worried about that, you can always meet him outside such a place!
4. Sometimes he forgets to eat and just drinks coffee! But clearly not all the time, or he would've starved by now!
5. He's sharper than he looks, so if you were hoping to get something past him, you won't have much luck.
Though I'd call the last one a strength rather than a flaw. It's just something I thought was worth mentioning. There's more to him than meets the eye. But that makes him even more intriguing, no?
[Annnd sent. He thinks he did a good job of providing an answer that wasn't a total cop-out without giving away any of Leo's more serious issues.]
he'll be fine if there are pillows ready to cushion his fall.
[ maybe he'll land safely on his bed :) ]
so basically you're saying he's got some problems with paying attention. sounds like a real pain in the ass. getting lost and forgetting names and all that. is he a kitten or something?
[ not a lion but a cat... ]
i don't know. if i decide to help him out, what'll you do for me?
Does that mean you like to build pillow forts? How unexpectedly cute! 😘
And I already said he's sharper than he looks! So if he's a kitten, he's a smart kitten! One who can play piano and such!
[You know those videos where someone's cat walks across a keyboard?
But as for the rest of that message, hmm... If he compensates Leona for sleeping with Leo, isn't that sort of, well... prostitution-adjacent? Something about it feels sketchy! But he figures he can at least hear him out.]
nah they keep leaving extra pillows on my bed so i just toss them wherever
[ he's not sure why they do that but he's not complaining. that's probably why. ]
kittens are kittens. they're not smart, they're lucky.
[ nothing wrong with a little quid pro quo. how is that sketchy? there's nothing underhanded about it, trying to extract a favor or two from someone who is looking out for a friend.
okay maybe there is but this is leona kingscholar ]
[Though at least this clears up a few things. He'd gotten confused and kind of disgruntled last time, because he thought Leona wanted to sleep with Jun and not him! Not that it should matter, but he'd been confused because that made no sense. He and Jun are different types, true! But he's no less attractive than Jun is. He's Hiyori Tomoe, after all!
Now it turns out there's nothing to be confused about, because as it so happens, Leona wants to get him in bed, too! Which, well, of course Leona does. He's Hiyori Tomoe, and he's the most beautiful, most handsome, most cute idol in the universe. He's the whole package! No matter what your type is, he ought to fit! And while most of his fans and followers were girls back home, he's really awakened to his appeal to men in this place. Since he's cute and beautiful, men also want to sleep with him! It makes sense, and he accepts it! He'll embrace his widespread appeal!]
[... but that's not even what's important here! Whether or not Leona-kun wants to sleep with him, he can't sleep with Leona-kun, just like Jun-kun can't. They have each other, so they won't!
Last time, Hiyori thought Leona might've meant that when he said "I want you." But then it turned out he didn't! He just wanted to cuddle!
So this time, he'll try assuming Leona meant it innocently. You can fool him once if you're good enough, but you can't fool him twice!]
You already want to cuddle me again, huh? 💕
I guess I was so warm and huggable last time that you just can't help yourself! All lions love to bask in the sun! ☀️ Or maybe it was the ear rub you liked best? I don't know which it is! But if that's what you want, then very well! I accept!
yeah. i want to actually cuddle you this time. wrap my arms around you while i sleep and feel your back against my chest as i breathe quietly into your ear.
idols want to be loved, don't they? so just let me have a night with you.
That description sounds surprisingly nice. Tender, intimate and relaxing. The last bit still sounds like a sleazy pick-up line, but that's probably just Leona's clumsy wording. And in any case, didn't he say last time that if he wanted to "sleep together" instead of sleep together, he'd come right out and say so? Hiyori wouldn't object to some more cuddling. There's just one problem that remains.
How on earth does he explain this to Jun-kun?
He didn't ask Jun's permission before cuddling Leona last time. But a whole night of cuddling? In someone else's bed, at that? He'd have to let Jun know. And that just sounds, well... it sounds suspicious! He and Jun always sleep in the same bed at night, so his presence would surely be missed. And how would he even explain himself? "I'm having a sleepover with Leona-kun"?? Sure, he could say that, but if it was the other way around, and Jun said he was off to go cuddle another man in his bed all night... well... he wouldn't be happy! He trusts Jun-kun, but he'd assume the other man in this scenario must be out to steal him!! And he'd be rather miffed that Jun was choosing to cuddle someone else at night when he could be cuddling him. He doesn't want to leave Jun feeling cold, dejected and jealous, so how does he resolve this?]
[ huh. well, that's certainly one way to get to a conclusion! in a way, while leona didn't plan on this being the response, it certainly is the most favorable result? it's the one that makes him smile the most if anything.
also... yeah, a sleepover would be pretty cute. not exactly leona's style but if it gets the job done, it gets the job done. ]
yeah? you need your security blanket with you? does that mean you'll get to be in the middle of the sandwich?
It's more that I'm worried Jun-kun will get jealous if I let another man hold me all night! Or he might start to feel lonely and left out. But if Jun-kun monopolizes Leona-kun who's monopolizing me, then that means Jun-kun gets to monopolize me too, so there should be no problem! Everyone wins! 🎉
[What kind of math is this?]
And I guess I could be in the middle? You wanted to hug me from behind, you said. So I guess if you do that and I hug Jun-kun, then it will be a sandwich! Just try not to crush me with your strong arms, alright?
[ the math kind of checks out? he can't say he isn't attracted to jun in the first place. hiyori isn't that bad looking either. one is handsome, one is cute. that's sort of where leona is when it comes to them... ]
maybe i want both of you so we'd have to change positions at some point no promises on crushing you though. i've been told i can be kind of rough.
[Right, right! Leona wants both of them! Not just Jun-kun!
But is it that kind of want? They're talking about cuddling, but a funny feeling starts to come over him (again). The phrasing is sort of, well... you know. It makes him remember an idea Weiss pitched to him, one that he rejected automatically at the time. But remembering it now gives him a squirmy sort of feeling...]
I'd prefer to be held gently, thanks!
[Even more suspicious phrasing, yay!]
But fine. If you want to cuddle Jun-kun, and Jun-kun also wants to cuddle you, then I guess I can loan him out to you. You know, just this one time!
[ hey, if one want leads to another... leona's not going to stop it from happening... ]
okay. gently then.
[ thank god they're not together right now because he is rolling his eyes. ]
look. i know you guys are together. if it makes you uncomfortable, then it makes you uncomfortable. so how about you and i cuddle first. then you'll know whether it's good enough for your jun AND you together.
[ is cuddling becoming a euphemism for something else. hm. ]
I don't want to leave Jun-kun alone at night and go off with someone else. And I'm sure Jun-kun feels the same. So if you want one of us, you'll just have to accept us both in your bed.
[It's like the saying they had back home: "two bodies, one soul." That was meant to describe Eve's approach to performing onstage, but it also describes their relationship here. They live together, love each other, and share everything. Their room, their bed, their secret hopes and dreams. Even Leona-kun!
... not that they were technically even talking about "that" sort of sharing!!]

Well, I'm not too sure. But you like Jun-kun, and Jun-kun's rather cute! And you liked me enough to cuddle me, and I'm also cute! 😊
The reason I ask is because Leo-kun was hoping to make some new connections. With Rinne-senpai gone, he's been feeling a bit lonely.
[And Rinne was also the one taking care of his suit and making sure he didn't turn to stone from lack of sex. Hence the need to play matchmaker!]
