Leonardo always did work hard. In high school, through college, into his work life. Many people would count it as his only discernible personality trait.

But truly? There was something he cared about loads more than any work. And that was you. With every paper he signed, every click on his keyboard, he thought of you. He had been working overtime, and he knew it upset you.

He was saving up, you see. For an engagement ring. Your favorite gem, encased in a bright gold. It was all he thought about now that he felt the weight in his pocket.

He was planning to propose tomorrow, on your date under the stars on the hill you first met. But as he pushes open the door to your household, he finds the lights dim and the house quiet.

And there you were, lying on the couch, dead asleep. His heart raced at how adorable it was. And the flour scattered on your face, clearly you were working hard before he came home.
