kh_drabbleChallenge: [48] Leon and the Puppies
Title: Oh So Different
Word Count: 215
Notes: It seems a little more Squall-ish than Leon-ish, if you ask me - insecurities and all - but hopefully it's enjoyable. :D For once, a pairing free drabble from me. *gasp* (And this challenge made me 'squee' out loud when I saw it, so I was determined to write something. *has a weakness for the puppies and Leon*)
There was a reason why Leon spent most of his free time - when he wasn’t battling the Heartless or training in the underground waterway – with the Dalmatian puppies in the second district house, as odd and pointless as this reason may seem.
Puppies, as it stands, are very, very different from humans. Yes, their appearance is different, and they act completely opposite from humans.
But it wasn’t that that made them so different.
Humans could lie. Humans could promise false promises, humans could break hearts, and humans couldn’t care less if other humans were forgotten and lost, if only for their own gain. Humans were cruel and cold – much like him – and humans were fearful things, always worrying what others said and dreading things that can’t be helped.
But the puppies; they were different. They were warm and comforting, they could love him without the questions and the arguments that a human’s love would convey, and the comfort their company brought was so much better than any human’s company.
It was pathetic, he knew. Who would have ever thought that the great lion, the Ice Prince himself, had such a soft spot for Dalmatians, of all things?
He had his reasons.
He’d just much rather keep it a secret between him and the puppies.
