[ It's easy to laugh and smile for an animal. Cute, pictures from home, and Leo's eyes flick over Adonis with his lips curled up, and he's all peaceful and calm until the exact second he isn't.
Hiyori's seen flashes and bits of Leo being serious before, usually over text or in a flippant way that comes and goes in a heartbeat. And then, further back, a time when he'd been serious almost all the time and killing himself with it - something Hiyori hasn't seen in years, but -
