Gifts (Charmed, challenge #31) Title: Gifts Fandom:Charmed Characters/Pairing: Piper/Leo Rating: G Word Count: 149 Challenge/Prompt: #31 - at first sight Summary: the greatest gift
Leo isn't one of those guys who does the stereotypical grand gestures, who's fond of dramatic declarations of love and Piper's okay with that. When she was a little girl she imagined being swept off her feet by a prince like the ones in her storybooks, dressed in armour, riding a white horse, a man who would demonstrate his ardour in sweeping, over-the-top ways that seemed impossibly romantic and wonderful.
Leo doesn't bring her flowers or candy, shower her with diamonds, or sing under her window. He doesn't write her poems.
He saves her life on a regular basis and, really, what's more romantic than that? Could a girl ask for more?
Leo doesn't have anything to prove. He's himself, no more and no less, and Piper knew, from the minute she saw him, that that would be his greatest gift to her, the greatest gift of her life.
