[ After this. ]
Leo feels awful the entire elevator ride up from the parking garage to the seventh floor. He should've just kept his mouth shut and accepted Connor's concern without questioning it, or at worst just ignored it.
Despite being a little judgy and disappointed, Connor's never been an asshole to Leo, even when Leo most definitely deserved it. He's generally treated him like a human being even when Leo was completely iced up. So Leo should know that Connor's probably a decent person. He'd been downright sweet today, in-between the jokes.
And Leo had of course been a complete asshole in return. Figures.
He can't even quite blame it on withdrawal, it's been three weeks since he last smoked red ice, and the worst of his mood swings have subsided by now. But not quite enough to stop him from lashing out, it seems.
The moment he's inside the apartment, he kicks off his shoes as he heads through the hallway, drops his jacket over a chair, gives a vague wave of acknowledgement at Kate, then goes and flops face-first onto the couch. Then he groans loudly into a pillow.

He feels a bit better now, having talked through it a bit and vented his frustration at himself, so he sits up. And because he wants some more physical reassurance (clearly not to thank her or anything, androids don't need to be thanked), he reaches out and gives her a hug.

lovefamiliarity under it that it doesn't sound rote.Kate wraps her arm around Leo's shoulders, tucking him against her side, and turns the TV on with a silent command. Sure, she still needs to do some cleaning and it's laundry day, but that can all wait.
Leo takes priority.
