[The Too Cool Verse - Some Things You Should Know]
[ooc: The Too Cool Verse is not part of tbg cannon! I will label all posts with the verse name so that no one gets confused. In this verse, McHura never break up. :)]
Continued from this point: As she looked up at him, he slid closer to her on the couch and tipped her chin up slightly with his fingertips so that he could look her in the eyes as he spoke. "I just don't want to lose you, darlin'... You mean the world to me and I love you so much it's hard to believe."
Leo hugged her back, and she held on to him, wanting him to know that she could accept the fact that he was already a father. He explained how frustrating it was that he couldn’t be around for his daughter, and she nodded sympathetically. It was hard enough to be away from her father and siblings - she couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to spend so much time apart from a child, especially when she was of such a young age. “I’m sorry, Leo,” she said softly. “I know how much you must want to be with her.” She frowned when he explained the court statement. “That’s awful,” she whispered, taking his hand and squeezing it reassuringly. "But I know you're there for her as much as you can be."
He tilted her chin up and her eyes widened at the words. She felt uncomfortable about John’s feelings for her, but she’d never meant to make Leo think that she was less than certain of their relationship. “You’re not going to lose me. Leo, I love you.” She cupped his face with her hand and smiled. “I want to be with you and no one else. Please don’t doubt that. It was just hard to hear that from someone I consider to be such a close friend. I don’t know how to act around him. I… I do want to stay friends with him,” she said, hoping it wouldn’t make Leo uncomfortable, “but I’m not sure how to be a good friend to him right now.”

She smiled weakly as he wiped the tears out of her eyes, and then looked away for a moment, not wanting to admit how much she wanted him to be there. The prospect of having him beside her every night was extremely tempting, but... "Leo, are you sure? I really don't want to interfere with your duties," she said carefully.
When he suggested that she talk to Liz, she wasn't sure how to respond. Although she felt comfortable being around Liz, the idea of delving into her personal demons was a lot more frightening now that she knew about Liz's telepathy. She wasn't sure she'd be able to keep private those things she wanted to keep to herself. Sighing, she replied, "I think I'll be all right. I want to give it a little time first, at least. And as you know, having trouble sleeping is... nothing new. The attack just made it worse but... it'll get better." She smiled a little wider this time. "Especially if I have you here," she added, leaning forward to kiss him again.
