This was such a pain. First he gets stuck in going to some ‘playful land’, then he almost gets turned into a puppet (which didn't sound completely terrible to be honest), then he had to run around destroying the ‘playful land’, now he has to walk all the way back to the dorm. Jack had already head back, leaving him behind
“Urgh this is so fuckin stupid.. I should've Just stayed in my damn bed..”
Leona groaned. Sneaking back in was such a pain, especially in these ‘playful’ clothes. He was about to take his hat off and Chuck it.
Thankfully he got back to the Savanaclaw dorm alright.
Mumbling to himself to silently crept to his own room, making sure that he didn't wake any or his other dorm members.
Once he got to the safety of his own room he walked in, he swore he locked his door before he left. Shutting the doors behind him… something felt.. off.
Ignoring that feeling, Leona did in fact Chuck his hat across his room. finally his ears could breathe properly. He looked over at his bed… did he leave it that crumpled?
Kicking off his boots he walked over to his bed. But he didn't kick his boots out of his way, he was too Tired to remember. He ended up tripping over his boots. Before he could fully hit the floor he was caught by his waist… who the hell was in his room!?
Glancing back he was met with the face of Malleus Draconia. Now why in the seven hells was that damn lizard in his room?!
“Draconia!? Why the hell are you in my room!?”
Leona quickly got himself out of Malleus’s grasp, he almost stumbled back on his bed but thankfully he got himself together. Looking back at Malleus with a glare Leona crossed his arms, expecting an answer. Malleus looked.. Embarrassed? Kinda. He was also doing that stupid pouting expression whenever he ended up missing something.
“Lilia mentioned going somewhere with some other students, including you. He came back a while ago, he only told me a few things, claiming that he needed some sleep. So I came here and waited for you. I wanted to know where you went.”
Leona was baffled by his answer. Why not wait until morning!? Why be a freak and sneak into his room and just wait!?
“Wha..?! Why didn’t you just wait until morning or send a message, why show up here!? I kinda need some sleep too!”
Huffing to himself, Leona was tempted to shove Malleus off of the balcony in his room.
“I don’t see the issue. You sleep all the time so it wouldn’t hurt you to answer me. It’d only take maybe five minutes.”
This bastard… Malleus’s pouting became more prominent. Now what in this lizard’s right mind would make him come to leona for answers.
“You-! Damnit just get out! Go ask Schoenheit or Al-Asim!”
Leona finally snapped out, turning around and plopping down right onto his bed, covering his head with his pillow to try and ignore Malleus, ignoring that damn ‘playful’ costume. Then Leona smelt it. A scent of oak. Leona had nothing oak scented, Malleus on the other hand..
“Were you in my bed!?”
Leona immediately snapped up, glaring at Malleus and growling some. He hated people being in his bed without his permission. Malleus looked away, still pouting.
“I.. might’ve laid down a bit while waiting for you..”
So THAT'S why his bed was a bit crumbled. Before Leona could snap again Malleus sat down on his bed right next to him.
“May I please just have a few answers? I don’t want to wait until morning for a simple answer.”
Malleus pleaded with him again, his curiosity wouldn’t let him leave, even with an angry lion growling at him.
“Sevens.. If I answer you will you just piss off already!?”
He just wanted to sleep but this damn lizard just wouldn’t let up. Malleus wasn’t exactly sure what Leona meant by ‘piss off’ but he assumed that it meant to leave him alone.
“Yes! Just a few simple answers will suffice!”
Leona was a bit annoyed by the lizard’s eagerness.
“Hmph, just hurry up and ask already I ain’t got all night!”
Leona plopped back down onto his pillow. Hoping that maybe he’ll drift off to sleep without Malleus knowing.
“Ah! Well first off, where did you go exactly?”
“Urgh, an amusement park named ‘Playful land’ that was ran by a shady fox.”
“I see.. Was it fun?”
“..What?”
Leona was confused. Why would Malleus ask if it's fun? He can’t necessarily go now but then again, Malleus hated not being invited to stuff no matter how small it was.
“Err.. I think it’s best to ask that to someone else. I wasn’t very interested in it. But Al-Asim was.”
It was probably best to not get into the whole almost getting turned into a puppet thing. Malleus nodded but still pouted a bit, probably not satisfied with the answer but decided to not press it.
“Okay.. Okay! Last question.. Where did this outfit come from?”
Leona glanced up, he was so hoping Malleus wouldn’t mention it. But here we are..
“I got it when I gave in my ticket, didn’t have much of a choice if I wanted to wear it.”
“..I see. Well I think it looks very nice on you. It suits you well.”
Malleus nudged Leona a bit, wanting Leona to roll over so he could get a better look at the front of it. Reluctantly Leona obliged. Rolling over onto his back, and slightly glaring at Malleus some. Malleus didn’t notice the glare and instead. The dark yellow jacket, the black pants, the necklace, but more importantly Malleus was staring at the gray shirt, mostly the chest area. Malleus had never understood why Leona’s shirts were always so low cut. But right now he wasn’t complaining.
Leona finally took notice of where Malleus was staring exactly. Well this was amusing.
“What? Enjoying the view? Haha!”
Leona couldn’t help but laugh as Malleus’s face flushed from getting caught staring.
“I-I was just taking note of your outfit! I wasn’t ‘enjoying’ anything!”
Leona was enjoying teasing Malleus, it was much too easy. Chuckling Leona sat up. Taking off that jacket and tossing it off to the side, Leona leaned back, looking at the lizard with a smug expression.
“Heh you say that yet you’re still staring.”
Realizing that he was caught yet again Malleus turned his head away. His face burned red with embarrassment. Leona just laughed harder.
“Pfft Haha! What's the matter? Can’t own up to your little staring trouble?”
Leona grinned as he leaned in to Malleus, wanting to tease him further.
“Well i’m in a good mood now so maybe i’ll let ya stare for a little while longer.”
Malleus squeaked a bit, not expecting this one bit. This was getting more amusing by the moment. Maybe answering his questions wasn’t such a bad decision.
“I-I-! You-! This is-!”
Malleus was now a stuttering mess, he’s clearly never been in a situation like this. Not to mention Malleus was quite… inexperienced with this.
“What is it? Cat got your tongue? Heh.”
Laughing again Leona intended to lean in again but Malleus was quicker. Malleus basically tackled him, pinning him down onto his bed, caging Leona in with his arms. Leona.. Didn’t expect this to say the least.. But he wasn’t opposed to it. Malleus’s face was still flushed with embarrassment but there was a hint of anger there as well.
“Well you’re certainly being bold tonight”
“..You’re the one that started it.”
Malleus huffed a bit at Leona’s nonchalant attitude, but nonetheless leaned down until he's only inches away from Leona’s face.
“Did I now? Or maybe it was you. It seemed you wanted this from the get go”
Malleus didn’t respond to that. Which told Leona all he needed to know. This was gonna be a long night.
