“Babe, that’s...a lot of garlic,” is what he settles on, and the usual confusion-realization-embarrassment set of emotions cross his face. “That story about garlic being useful against vampires is real?”
Redgrave chuckles nervously, rubbing at the back of his head. “Yeah, mostly as a deterrent. Like mosquito repellent. We kind of got used to it and forgot.” Leon suspected as much. That’s pretty common with the Scoobies, he’s observed. (Like he can talk; he’s taken to growing green herbs in his apartment just in case even though he’s not exactly got a green thumb. He’s not exactly got a black thumb, either; he’s just...not great. And he’s contemplated more than once giving Hunnigan a pot herself, even though she’s not out in the field, even though that might be crossing a ‘we don’t care about each other’ line, too.)
“Guess I’ll get used to garlic breath,” he jokes, and by this point he’s not particularly surprised when Xander’s cheeks turn pink again. It’s a fragile moment, and he doesn’t want to break it, but he’s also curious. “Given some of the things Miss Rosenberg has said, I’m surprised, given you used to date Anya, you embarrass so easily.”
His white-haired beauty ducks his head, but that’s a pleased if awkward smile. “I’ve mentioned most of this is new, right? I mean, we haven’t even had sex yet. Getting teased about domestic things, or the future, or being head-over-heels for you….that’s new. If we’d had sex, you announcing a play-by-play wouldn’t faze me at all, but you wouldn’t, and that does. In a good way, don’t get me wrong.”
Leon pulls Xander to him and just...exists. “I had this, a little, with my high school sweetheart, Isabel. But it wasn’t this good, and I never thought I’d have it again.”
His boyfriend relaxes into him with a sigh, and it’s nice, up until they both smell the burning and his sweetheart startles out of his arms like he’s been electrocuted.
“Sorrydon’twanttoburnyourapartmentdown!” he manages in a long rush as he dashes back to the kitchen, and Leon takes a moment to laugh, because he wouldn’t trade any of this for anything, before he follows, because he can lend a hand.

“So? How is it?” Xander’s doing the hopeful, puppy look again, and Leon really doesn’t want to hurt his feelings, so he manages to swallow as he tries to think of how he’s going to approach this.
