Chapter 97 - Seven - I am taken care of by Jin Li (1/2)

”Fuck!”

Leon sighed, ah he had been sick, but his tummy now felt so much better. It was a momentary relief though, for he suddenly felt as if he was flying through the air. He fell into a strong, but warm embrace and snuggled into the body he was familiar with before sighing.

”I p-puked in m-my hair...” he complained and began to pout, his lower lip sticking out in an exaggerated fashion. It took ages to dry his long black and white tresses after washing them, he was not looking forward to it.

The seniors, Jin Li and Sun, who had been lurking in the shadows of Bowyer and Pike watched Leon with some bemusement, especially when, despite everything, he began to hum softly. Jin Li scooped him into his arms, despite the mess, while Pike and Bowyer decided to have words with Gother, whose face was coloured both figuratively and physically.

”Disgusting brat!” He was yelling, harshly. ”How dare you soil Laozi! More trouble than he's worth!”

”You only have yourself to blame,” Pike crossed his arms about his chest. ”Your Master is likely disappointed enough regarding your performance the past few days and yet you would further this by tarnishing this school's name further. You should leave before we make you and I would recommend strongly that you leave Leon alone in the future.”

”He's just a small cutsleeve,” Gother bitched angrily. ”Why would you go so far to protect him?”

”Whether Leon likes men or not is his own concern,” Bowyer snapped. ”No one deserves to be forced into having relations. And don't say something foolish like 'he seduced you.' He's too innocent to do something like soliciting.”

Gother's jaw snapped closed, his teeth gritted, unable to admit that he was just about to use such an excuse. Just, when the boy looked up at him through those large, unfocused eyes... a chunk of something indescribable splattered from his back to the floor and bringing him somewhat back to reality. He turned to leave, but was stopped by the seniors next words;

”Oh, but before you leave,” Pike said. ”Don't you think you ought to clean up this mess. You really don't want Teacher Tremmas finding out about this do you?”

”Leon's glasses,” Jin Li mentioned, coldly.
