Chapter Text
Leona hated this.
Hated him.
But he didn't want to leave him either, as much as he loathed to admit it. He loved Yuutaro, his sick and twisted way of thinking. He didn't fucking know why. He thought he was just some magicless freak entering their world and crashing the orientation. But as more months go by, and the man accepting the fact that he will probably never go home. Because of a certain useless crow who just refused to do this job.
The other was unfortunately forced to adjust quickly. Not even getting the luxury of processing what happened to him.
Yuutaro gets attention. Positive or negative, nonetheless it was there.
He had a bright smile. One that could rival the Asim heir, he made a friend of everyone, even the lizard bastard, calling him these nicknames and whatnot. Even inviting him to the SDC event which he heard Vil crashed with an overblot.
When they started dating, Leona had thought that Yuutaro was soft, Submissive. Considering he never really talked back or fought. Just flashing him a small smile, when they first started holding hands or when the other toyed with his hair lovingly, saying he was the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.
Leona believed he was getting what he finally wished for since his childhood.
Love.
Oh.
How fucking stupid he was.
It didn't even take much time to pass when the ravenette's behavior started being noticeably different when they were alone.
The lion beastman simply thought that he was in a bitter mood. Considering everything bad literally happens to the poor guy, ahem. Helping those two little freaks out during an exam, a little scuffle with Azul Ashengrotto and the Leech twins.
It started with a little insult. Barely even one, a shot about his looks, or specifically the scar he carried with him. He brushed it off as an ignorant comment from his boyfriend. Muttering grumbles while half asleep as he was not really that interested in having a conversation about an injury he could barely even remember.
Then about a month or two ago, it escalated. Yuutaro actually looked pissed, hurling insults at him for talking with other men. Like he wasn't supposed to communicate with others just because they were together.
And right now, they were having the usual argument. Both were in Leona's room, the lion was mistakenly thought it was going to be a usual relaxing night for him, but the other man had other plans.
"It was a fucking comment!" Leona shot back, irritation growing by the second as Yuutaro refused to drop the subject.
"A comment?" Scoffed the younger, sitting across the lion, looking at him incredulously, like he was the one at fault.
"Yeah right, Smirking at him and shit, what are you a slut?" He shoves Leona, who let's out a small growl, shoving him back, rather harshly that Yuutaro slightly stumbled, backing into the sofa.
"Just because I smiled? It was a comment from Vil! You know he gets when it comes to looks!" He motions, not even making sense anymore. None of this did. It was foolish, Yuutaro was just making up problems in their relationship at this point. That man always had something to be jealous about.
"Don't think I'm stupid Leona. I've heard about those whispers and rumors, what, you that that guy fuck you behind my back? Was it good huh? Cock good enough that you'd cheat on me?" Continued the other student, inching closer and closer as tension grew, the room felt hot and suffocating. And it seemed like it was closing in on them, getting trapped in this inescapable moment. Yuutaro always had this weird look in his eyes, even during his time outside. It was something disturbing that even Leona couldn't pinpoint. He'd heard about comments his boyfriend would make about the other students such as Ace, Kalim or even Jade. And he never said anything about it! He thought jealousy killed connection. But guess what was happening now.
"Are you even hearing yourself right now?" Shouts the lion, standing up and putting distance between himself and this psycho he called his boyfriend.
"You're reacting cause it's true."
"No it's not!"
It was unbelievable to think this was the same guy who gave everyone a smile and chuckle every morning, greeting them along with his dumb cat like they were in some sort of fairytale. Now, he's screaming and accusing him of things that made no sense. Everyone knew he and Vil had this small bantering rivalry. Of course sick freaks in this school would say it was sexual tension. They were all parasocial anyway, and for the most part, Leona ignored it, but it seemed like The other man was easily influenced. Because it was not fucking true.
"I'm just saying, you're spouting bullshit, because of what? Things you hear from students without any proof?!" Their argument was escalating. Leona never strayed from a fight, even if it was with his man. Yuutaro just stood in front of him, his brown eyes held so much disgust and anger it made Leona want to vomit, it was the same look his father would give him during his childhood. And seeing it mirrored in someone who loved him- both of them were! His dad and Yuutaro were supposed to love him! But instead, anger never left their eyes when it was locked on him. Like it was a curse he'll never ever shake off.
"You look so angry, are you gonna threaten to turn me to sand again? Yeah just like what you did to Ruggie." Ouch, that really hurts. That was during his overblot, the weakest moment of his entire lift viewed by hundreds and thousands of people...
He almost killed Ruggie, yeah. He brushed it after the whole scuffle, but he did hide a flicker of guilt. Leaving money purposely for the young hyena to take was his pathetic attempt of apologizing.
Apologize, he can't even give that to the poor guys whose life he made an attempt on.
Was he prideful, or was he just pathetic.
The smirk on Yuutaro's face made it hurt more though, like he was waiting for Leona to break.
Waiting for him to start crying, begging on his knees that he was sorry and that he didn't mean it and he'd never even look at another male specimen IN THIS ALL BOYS SCHOOL.
They both stood in Leona's dimly lit room basking in the ugly silence.
Leona wanted to kill him, like actually. He wanted to rip his teeth off for even saying such things to him, gauge his eyes out for even having the audacity to look at Leona in such a horrible way. He was just some guy who got teleported here with no way to get home, why was he acting like he's the one in charge.
"You're quiet because I'm right." Yuutaro finally spoke. Making direct eye contact with Leona, closing the distance between them, as Leona did not even move.
"No you're not." Resisted Leona, refusing to accept defeat, of the uncouth accusations leaving this guy's mouth.
The air felt heavy as the human just frowned, he was so butterfly basic, he was just human. Black hair and brown eyes, but seven's was he handsome. Maybe that was the appeal. He didn't stand out like the others, but always had attention on him, like it he was magnet that attracted curiosity wherever he went.
The ravenette said no more but it was clear this conversation wasn't over.
No words were spoken between them when Yuutaro snaked his hands up to Leona's neck, not even in a loving way, his fingers interlocking lovingly with each other, even catching the soft strands of the lion's curly brown hair. Before capturing his mouth in a hot searing kiss.
It was always like this. Their arguments always ended with the same pattern.
Talk.
Argue
Fight.
Sometimes even physical.
Then make up was more make out.
His hands stayed on his side, twitching ever so slightly at the others forceful behavior.
It had taken him a moment to finally kiss back, he loved this man. The feeling of his lips of his. His rough calloused hands that he has developed from all the ungodly amount of work everyone makes him do.
"I love you." He said in between the feverish kiss. It was like an assurance he always craved everytime they had a disagreement.
The lion gave a soft hum into the kiss.
"I love you too." It was more of a mutter that came out of his mouth. The more this continued the more he questioned everything.
Their kiss broke and Yuutaro looked at him, he saw not the disgust earlier. But love, pure unbridled adoration decorated his face, if it was even possible there could be hearts in those beautiful brown eyes. Looking at him, and only him.
"You get how I feel right? I know you do." Whined the younger, burying his face in the soft of the brunette's hair his hands trailing down to trap him in a tight embrace. Taking in the scent of the calla lilies that were mixed into his shampoos, he acted almost childish after these, and Yuutaro was not a short person by any means. He was on par with Jack, even started training with him too.
"Yeah, whatever." His muffled voice echoed in the room, his hands leaving his sides to make contact with the others back, growing stronger each day.
He felt Yuutaro take steps closer and closer to Leona's bed before they both fell into it.
The sheets were soft and oddly cold, despite the Savanaclaw heat.
It felt so suffocating, both the feeling of his lovers embrace or just his weight being on top of him.
Yuutaro's hot breath tickling his neck made him shiver ever so slightly, his hands going to his jaw, to continue the kiss, the hold was tight enough that Leona couldn't physically turn away.
"I'm better than him, better than all the men you'll ever lay your eyes on." His voice boomed into the room, bouncing off the walls and echoing over and over again In Leona's ears like a broken record.
His tone was so loving, he was so enamoured with Leona it looked pitiful. Leona's hand just touched the side of his cheek, feeling the others tears dripping on Leona's own face, when had Yuutaro even started crying? Was it really that deep for him? A single conversation between two people who weren't even close.
"Stop crying."
Hen scolded the younger, but deep inside, he couldn't hide the twisted feeling of satisfaction that brewed deep in his core. That Yuutaro was so obsessed with him that it literally altered how he acted around other people versus with him.
Yuutaro continued peppering his lover's face with kisses, who just laughed into it. Letting the other let out his feelings through his affection. It was better to bask in it before the younger goes back to his rambles, he was already mentally preparing himself for tomorrow. He was lab partners with Rook, and seven's please save him.
