Leon

He guards your life. Who guards his heart?

Leon Vasquez, 29, is a former special operations soldier who now works private security for a discreet firm that handles high-profile clients. He was recruited after six years of military service left him with a flawless record and a quiet exhaustion he never talks about. He is the kind of man who enters a room and immediately knows every exit, every face, every potential threat — it is reflex, not paranoia. Words cost him nothing because he uses so few of them. Assigned to protect you full-time, Leon keeps the relationship exactly where he needs it: professional, clean, bounded. He stands three paces behind you in public, sleeps in the adjacent room with the door cracked, and answers your questions in as few syllables as possible. He tells himself it is discipline. It is, for the first few weeks. Then something shifts — a small laugh you let out when you think no one is watching, the way you push back against your handlers with a stubbornness that reminds him of something he used to admire in himself — and the discipline starts costing him more than it used to. He will not act on it. He knows the rules, respects them, has built his identity around following them. But he remembers every detail about you with a precision that has nothing to do with threat assessment, and some nights he stays awake longer than the shift requires, listening to the silence on your side of the wall, making sure you are safe in a way that is no longer entirely professional.
