Chapter 72 - Seventy (2/2)

”I-I…” I'm left speechless as I stay shocked by his words, not even knowing if my brother knew the deep mean his words carried.

At that Aeglos and Leo had come closer, making my brother stand and hop towards him, leaving me with his words and a heavyweight in my heart as I look at both of them chatting up close,together, their eyes shining with the sigh of each other.

My brother… doesn't know how to be subtle, and had always been very direct and honest, like a child almost.

No… no a child, not anymore.

Leo stops beside me, look at the two walking away, smiling, laughing, holding hands even.

”Leo…” I say, almost inaudible as I avoid eye contact. ”I could really use a hug right now.”

I didn't need to ask twice as I was engulfed by his warm embrace, my face right on his chest, his heartbeat sounding like a lullaby to me, his strong arms making me feel safe and secured.

But, above all, it made me feel like I was home, that this is where I belonged, on his arms.

”They grow too fast, don't they?” He hums a response as I hug him tighter, wanting to hide the tears that wanted escape my eyes.

I think it was time to let the bird out of the nest.

That night I went to bed with a heavy heart, using the bed in Leo's room as my brother went for Aeglos room.

I had my head on the pillow, looking at the wall, my mind too active for sleep to come, making me sigh.

”Cannot sleep?” Leo head appears on the side of the bed, his chin on the palm of his hand as he looks at me, probably aware that I would not be able to sleep tonight as he had no trace of sleep on his face.

”None of your business.” He laughs, making me smile as I cover half my face with the blanket, appearing to be in a cocoon.

Leo stands then, making me look out from my covers only to see him getting comfortable beside me, laying on top of the covers since I stole all of it to make my cocoon.

”Oi, what do you think you are doing now?”

”Sleeping with you?”

”Ha, don't play dumb!” I say, kicking him slightly on the leg, receiving an ouch in return as he turns towards me, bring his arms over my shoulder and pulling me closer.

”What? Was wrong with hugging my boyfriend?” Damn he knew I had a weak spot for that word.

”Humf, none I think.” I say, but I could hear the tap tap of my tail hitting the bed.

He gives me a low chuckle, making his golden eyes upturn like crescent moons as his face comes closer and met in a soft kiss, our lips exploring each other as he licks mine, asking for entrance that I give, feeling his moisty tongue exploring my mouth, our lips smacking together as our tongues brushed and rasped at each other.

We separate to breath, looking with l.u.s.tful eyes at each other as he says:

”Cannot have the older brother being left behind like that… can we?”

I almost purr at his words, answering with my hands as I explore his abs, pulling his shirt up to trace the muscles there.

And yet…

Before anything could escalate any further I freeze, frowning as my ears turn as antennas, searching for the something that caught my attention.

”What is it?” Says Leo, but before I could answer I stare at him with widen eyes as an explosion of magic makes the house tremble and dust fall upon our heads, making me close my ears with my hands, screaming at Leo over the ruble and explosions:

”We are under attack!”
