Fear Like This


Rating: PG
Pairing: Leo/Ainsley
Notes: For TWW100 on LiveJournal - theme fear.


Leo found his father's body, after hearing the gunshot that killed him.

He flew fighter planes in Vietnam, saw buddies blown out of the sky, came within an ace of joining them more than once.

He woke up face down in a motel parking lot and realised he was a drunk like his old man. He checked into rehab that day, faced life sober, and six years later, owned up to the world.

None of those things scared him like Ainsley taking his hand, telling him she loves him.

Because he loves her too, and he's terrified of losing her.
