"Say you're with me." Leonard caught his eyes, kept close to him. It was a strange area to navigate, but he was sure that withdrawing couldn't be the answer right now. "Say you're with me and I'll uncuff you." Truth was, he'd uncuff him either way. He just wanted to hear the words right now. He wanted this to be Mick's choice. Mick was an anchor, Mick was his partner. He could be with him and figure all of this out.
"I'm always with you. You're my partner." Just as long as Leonard wasn't deceiving him, he'd be loyal but it was hard to tell, right now, if Leonard was going to be loyal or not. Given he knocked him out, handcuffed him and trapped him with a speedster. The condition of having to say it to get uncuffed, it wasn't that assuring really. Still, all of that aside, he trusted him more than he trusted anyone else in this damn world. "You're with me, right?"
"I'm with you." There was no hesitation there and Leonard finally unlocked the cuffs. A rare moment of weakness as he allowed himself to rest his forehead against Mick's shoulder, remaining like that, because he needed rest. He needed less in his head, but that wasn't about to happen, with a mind still adjusting to time again and a brain failing to compute it all. He'd just have to figure things out regardless.
Mick raised his now free hand and rested it gently against the back of Leonard's head, taking a moment to rub his hand along the bristles at the back of his head. He really needed a new shave, he was starting to grow his hair out. Couldn't have that, he'd look too cute with stupid dumb curly hair. "If you wanna leave all of this shit and just get the fuck outta here, I'm all over that too. Look, I'm loyal to them if I have to pick but out of them and you? I'd always pick you."
Leonard hadn't bothered shaving his hair since coming back, there had been a lot more to wrap his mind around. He allowed Mick to touch him, hell, he wanted him to touch him. "Don't think that's an option." But it was nice to hear that Mick wouldn't hesitate to follow him, to come with him. "I'll have to play the game. I'll try to leave your team standing." It would be a challenge, by his estimate. "I remember everything, Mick. I just also remember even more."
How could he explain that right? "I'm focused on you. Everything else seems further away."
"Don't do something we'll both regret." He couldn't stand the idea of Leonard killing someone on that team, being responsible for what happened and having to do damage control. Mick was a lot of things but he'd changed a lot of how he thought since Chronos. He didn't want tog o back to just being a thug and a criminal, even if he told others he did. As hard as it all was, having something made it easier.
"You're my focus too, Snart. Just play nice when you gotta play or we're gonna have a problem."
