[drabble][DC TV, Leo, Mick, G] The One that Got Away
Title: The One that Got Away
Fandom: DC TV
Rating: G
Word Count: 295
Characters: Leo, Mick
Summary: Leo finds a seemingly innocuous ring
Leo can't help but put it on the moment he sees it sitting on the counter by Mick's bench-press-slash-bed. He barely gets it to flash once in the overhead lights before Mick is roaring, "Take that off!"
He smirks, bringing up his hand to display the ring on his pinkie. "Is it yours?" He teases, "It barely fits on me, no way it'd go on any of your sausage fingers."
As soon as he says it, Leo recognizes the look on Mick's face, anger covering up raw hurt. The look he gets whenever Leo reminds him too much of Len. "Oh." He drops his hand and pulls of the ring, holding it out so Mick can snatch it back. "I apologize, I shouldn't be messing with your things." He pretends not to notice the way Mick clutches it like it's the last good thing in the universe. He waits for the man to take a few deep breathes before asking, feigning casual, "Were you two a thing?" Mick shoots him a look and Leo just shrugs. "Can't say I hadn't thought of it with mine."
To put it lightly. But back then Leo had been too afraid to admit his feelings to himself, let alone to anyone else. But losing what could have been the love of his life eventually gave him the courage to make sure the second love of his life didn't pass him by. If there's a reality where a Leonard and a Mick are happy together... well, it will ease his regrets a good deal.
Mick tumbles the ring in his palm for a moment. "It was complicated."
"How so?"
"We didn't do touchy-feely," he pockets the ring and secures it tight, scowling at nothing, "not even when we were together."
