You were awoken in the middle of the night by the sounds of sniffling. Leo laid on his side and in the dim glow of the moonlight, you could see his shoulder shaking.

You laid a gentle hand on his arm and caressed his shoulder lovingly. "Leo? What's wrong, baby?"

He sniffled and shook his head but didn't speak. Finding this strange, you cuddled closer and spooned him, laying your head on his.

"Please talk to me, my love," you whispered and kissed his temple.

"You don't love me anymore," he quietly got out.

"What?" You removed your hand from his shoulder and sat up. "What are you talking about?" You turned Leo on his side and held both his hands to pull him up into a sitting position.

"You've been kinda short with me these past few days like you don't want me there. You don't love me anymore," Leo started crying harder as he said that.

"Oh Leo," you straddled him and held his face in both your hands while wiping his tears with your thumbs. "I am so, so sorry, my love. I never wanted to hurt you. I've just been stressed and a little sleep deprived because of work. I never meant to take it out on you. I love you so much. I will for the rest of my life." You wrapped your arms around his neck and started kissing his face, laying your lips on every wrinkle, every tear, every frown you had caused.

"Really?" He sounded like a little boy. "You promise?"

"Pinky promise," you whispered in his ear. "Gods I love you so much, Leo." You continued kissing him all over the face: eyes, nose, cheeks, forehead, temples and any indication of pain you could see. But this time, Leo hummed in comfort as you kissed him, smiling that he wasn't going to lose you any time soon.

"I love you, too, mi celito. More than you can imagine," Leo leaned up and captured your lips with his own while his hands ran up and down your back and sides.

Mi celito: my little heaven
