Simone's cozy living room was the perfect setting for a quiet evening in. She was cuddled up on the couch with her young boyfriend, Leo, who couldn't contain his excitement as he showed her an innocent drawing he had made for her. His face beamed with pride as he handed it to her, and Simone couldn't help but pinch his cheek and call him adorable.
"I don't understand why women aren't attracted to youth and energy like yours, Leo," Simone said, examining the drawing with a smile. "Instead, they seem to be drawn to maturity and experience."
Leo's smile faltered as Bella, Simone's roommate, entered the room. She sneered at Leo's youthful energy, and without warning, she slapped him hard across the face.
"This is why women like me don't go for boys like you, Leo," Bella said, ripping apart the drawing in his hands. "You're inexperienced and naive. Simone, you can do so much better than this."
Leo burst into tears, burying his face in Simone's chest as she defended and comforted him. Bella wasn't done yet. She pulled Leo away from Simone, sitting on his face and ripping a fart.
Leo went through the pain of Bella's weight on his fragile body and the discomfort of her farts. Simone watched in horror as Bella belittled Leo, her frustration growing.
"Bella, that's enough," Simone said firmly. "Leo is a guest in our home, and he deserves to be treated with respect."
Bella finally got up, leaving a defeated Leo in Simone's arms. Simone told Leo that his youth brought her so much joy, despite the harsh treatment from Bella.
"I'm sorry she treated you that way, Leo," Simone said, holding him close. "Your energy and innocence are what I love most about you."
Leo looked up at Simone with tears in his eyes, grateful for her understanding and acceptance.
"I promise to protect you from Bella's cruelty, Leo," Simone continued. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what."
Leo smiled weakly, feeling safe and loved in Simone's arms. He knew that no matter what challenges they faced, Simone would always be by his side, fighting for him and defending him. And that was all he needed.
