Chapter 58 - Fifty-Six (2/2)
Which was doubtful to exist, but oh well he could at least try I guess…
”You two… Will take care of the horses.”
”Yay! Horsies!”
Everybody went to go as told, the last one being Isa, who seemed about to complain but was dragged by her Templar, who by the way did not take off his armor until now.
That perched my curiosity as to who stood behind all that metal.
Taking me off my thoughts Leo grabs my hand and, with wide strides, walks to the back were supposedly the rooms stood, not before searching for cleaning tools and opening up every window we passed by, methodical and efficient.
”…”
”Leo, you…” I start, still walking with him pulling my hand as his efficiency made me unable to do anything to really help. ”Oh my, you are a clean freak aren't you?”
I wiggle my tail to the sides, a smirk on my lips, happy as if catching him red-handed. He scowls, looking back at me, saying:
”I'm not a cleaning freak.” He says confident, looking to the path once more, but I can barely hear when he continues: ”I just… like when things are tidy…”
”Uhum.” I say, not convinced.
He finally arrive in the corridor were the rooms were, the left side had huge windows covered by wooden squares, as on the other side the doors stood.
This place was far in the building, far enough so that it was completely silent, making realize something that made my heart skip a beat.
I was alone.
With Leonel.
Just about to enter a bedroom.
Alone. With. Him.
I stare down at his hands, his long fingers embracing my own, the contrast of his white skin with my caramel one making me pay attention to the warmth of his body so close to my own.
He was saying something, moving his lips, those lips that… I blush.
Goddamnit you Oak tree! H-how dare you make that illusion of all things?! Now I'm too aware of him, of his lips, and how they tasted…
Would be the same of the illusion?
”Little hound?” His velvet voice sounds, bringing me out of my thoughts only to encounter a pair of golden eyes smirking at me, totally aware of my blushing.
”Y-yeah?”
”Let's start cleaning the first room shall we?”
I just nod, not trusting my voice at the moment. That's silly, I kept thinking while automatically cleaning the place up with Leo, I was not scare of a mere kiss, that just plain dumb right?
Though I stopped the illusion after the kiss, so perhaps… perhaps if I didn't it would have gone farther?!
W-what the hell am I thinking?!
I could not stop myself from thinking those silly thoughts, even more when every time I looks to the side I could see the cause of it, the way he frowned slightly focusing at the task at hand, the way his muscles bend underneath his clothes when he pushed something heavy out of the way, or the way his lips moved when he was talking… Wait, talking? What did he say?
Before I could redeem myself, again, for not listening he drops his tools, straight his back, all of his figure coming to view as with wide steps he approaches me, to quickly and sudden for me to react, but when I do is just to take a step back and trap me on the wall as he puts his hand on the side.
Dejavu?!
B-but this time it was true, for-for sure.
”If you keep giving me those looks I may think you are inviting me in.”
”N-no, of course not!” I say, trying to contain a blush looking up at his face so close up to mine.
His godly looks weren't fair, shit.
”Uhm… Is that so?” He crooks his face sideways, a playful glint on his eyes as he continues: ”But I have a question.”
”Y-yeah?”
”Why did you call my name when you were under the Purple Buds Illusion?”
