Alex didn't need any. This was why he and Leon worked, because they got each other. Damon could never get Alex and maybe, Alex thought, that made Damon shallow, too. Like a puddle.
Fingers laced in with Leon's as Alex's face was turned. Alex's expression changed, his eyes brighter than even a few seconds ago. Just because Alex was shallow didn't make him a bad person, something he hadn't thought about.
Their noses came together. Alex closed the space and kissed Leon's warm, inviting lips. He was falling more and he knew it as sure as he knew there'd be no resurfacing. While he might have been shallow, what he felt was deep.
