Notes: Oh man. *headdesk* Yes, that DOES tell you everything you need to know about this. Those who've ever seen my journal will know I have a fondness for list posts. It was only a matter of time (literally - I only write stuff this cracked out post-midnight) before it crept into a drabble. That and I'm getting desperate on my fanfic100 claim. Yes, I would've mentioned the woman from "Flowers and the Detective" but it didn't quite fit...

Sortofkindamaybe a response to "black"?


Over the years, D has given Leon:

• Tea - strange tasting, always with too much sugar, even when he swears he’s not put ANY in.
  
• Headaches - of the kind that that require at least twelve beers to soothe.
  
• Plants - A gattolotto, very rare and almost addictive, flowered and died on a night when Leon was in hospital and unable to see it.
  
• A convenient place to leave his brother - What? It’s not like D does anything apart from sell killer pets and sit on his ass eating sweets all day.
  
• A butterfly, which Leon will never, ever mention in public lest it ruin his image.
  
• Amnesia - He knew it’d be a bad idea to drag the Count on vacation with them.
  
• Someone to talk to, confide in, and trust - which doesn’t mean Leon likes him or anything. Just that D doesn’t laugh at him as obviously as Jill does.
  
• A black eye - which, all things considered, is the most normal thing D’s ever given him.
