《Brains and Brawn (BxB)》Chapter 28

Matt POV:
Seeing as we woke up crazy early to watch the sunrise, Leo still invited me over to his place. But we were both hungry due to only having tea and oreos, and it was still like 6:30 am, we decided to stop at a small coffee shop for breakfast and then we'd each go our way, but not before he promised to stop at my place before school so that we could go together.
Yes, school. I can't believe I forgot we had school. I'm seriously considering skipping only to spend the whole day sleeping. But no, I already skipped once, I'm not planning on doing it again anytime soon.
When we were leaving the coffee shop, I sent Mrs. Pemberton a text letting her know that I would stop by to pick Chris up, but she told me she would take him to school and that there was no need for me to stop there, so I went home and took a very much needed shower, brushed my teeth and got dressed and just as I was getting my backpack, someone knocks on the door.
I was hoping it woul be Leo, but instead on the the other side is Macy.
"Hey," she greets along with a hug. "Wanna get a ride to school with me?"
"Um...that's ok, I actually already have a ride."
"Oh, ok, that's cool. Who is it? If it's Harry, he can come too."
"No, it's ummm, actually, it's Leo. We're kind of back together again..." I answer, not being able to keep the smile from my face or the blush from my lips.
When Macy doesn't say anything I look at her, but her face shows nothing, she only looks tobe deep in thought, "Macy?" I ask, waving my hands in front of her face trying to get her attention.
"YES!" She screams. "I knew it was only a matter of time until you guys got back together. I'm really happy for you."
As if to prove her point even further, she hugs me and whispers in my ear, her smile clearly there even though I can't see her face, "I really am glad you guys made up, you looked happier when you were with him. And that's all I want, it's for you to be happy. Even though I'm all for 'you are a strong, independant person who don't need no man', I'm still glad you guys made up!"
"Thanks, Macy. And thanks for being there for me through it all. You and John have been my rock. Even Harry was there if I needed."

"We'll always be here. Always."
I was about to say something when Leo's car parks in the driveway.
"Looks like your ride is here. I'll see at lunch," Macy says with a grin on her face. And so, with a happy smile on her face, a kiss on my cheek and a wave to Leo, she's off.
I get my back pack and go to meet Leo, who's waiting for me in his car.
"Hey," he greets once I'm sitting and ready to go.
"Hey," I answer back.
The air around us is a little awkward, none of us really sure what to do. Should we go back to normal, to how it was before the break-up? Or we should we start again?
Questions, questions...
All my doubts disappear however, when Leo starts laughing. Why in the world is he laughing? Can he not feel my inner struggle? Damn him for being so hot while laughing.
I can't help but let a little smile slip onto my face, however.
"What?" I ask, with a chuckle. "Why are you laughing?"
"Because you had this weird, adorable look on your face. I could tell you were freaking out. No need to do so, though. But...you know, if anything's bothering you, you can just talk to me, you know?"
"Ok..." I sigh in relief.
Why am I so worried? This is Leo we're talking about. The same Leo that lied about needing tutoring because he (for some reason) wanted a reason to talk to me. The same Leo that defended me from Ben. The same Leo that always offers me a shoulder to cry on.
"I love you," I whisper.
"I loveyou, too."
And that was the it for me. I grab his face with both my hands and pull him to me, kissing me with all my might, trying to show him how I feel with just the kiss.
He appears to be doing the same, because what I wasn't expecting was for him to kiss the living daylight's out of me. He's such a good kisser, he know how to work those lips, that's for sure.
And his hands know exactly where to go, one of them of my neck and the other resting on my butt, kind of squeezing it slightly. That's a new thing I found out: I like it when Leo touches my butt, kind of turns me on not gonna lie.
Which is why we should stop. I really don't want to go to school with a boner. That would just be embarrassing.

I break the kiss with a smile on face, but rest my forehead on his, not reay to let go entirely yet, "You know, I'm starting to think you have a small obsession with my butt."
He chuckles a little at that, putting some space between us, "Don't pretend you don't like it."
I smile, turning away from him, and putting my sitbelt again, "We should talk about this. Should we start again? Do we go back to how things were?"
"Maybe we don't have to do either of those. We don't pretend the break up didn't happen, because it did, but we just do our thing. We don't have to go on a first date again, either. We'll just take it slow. As long as you're comfortable."
That certainly helps calm my nerves.
"Ok then," I answer with a smile and a blush on my cheeks. "We should probably go to school now, though. It's getting late, and I'm not looking forward to being late so..."
"Right, we should go, yeah," he clears his throat and starts the car an so we make our way to school.
The ride to school was comfortable and fast considering I don't live that far from school.
To be honest I thought being back with Leo would be slightly awkward and all, but turns out, it wasn't. Far from that actually. Converstation was as easy as always. I can't lie and say wasn't relieved, because I was.
When we get to the school, we both exit the car and walk inside the school, hand in hand, once again. People seem to notice the change, too, because the looks and whispers come back again. Thank God it doesn't bother me as much now as it did we started dating a few months ago.
When we get to my locker Macy, John and Harry were already there and from the looks I'm getting from John and Harry, I'm guessing Macy didn't tell them about me being back with Leo.
"You guys are back together!" Harry screams. And when I say screams, I mean it. That got us quite the attention. As if we needed more of that. "So, when did this happen? And why was not informed? I thought we were friends, Matthew," He said, mocking hurt and pretending to wipe away a tear.
"Calm down, Harry," I say trying not to laugh at his dramatics. "It only happened last night."
"Last night, huh?" Harry tases, wiggling his eyebrows.
Obviously, me being me, I blushed and looked down while Leo just laughed at me, obviously finding my embarrassment amusing.
"Not like that," my boyfriend answers for me. "We just met yesterday and we talked things out. We decided not to worry about the future and just focus on the present. I love him. I hope he loves me back and that's that."
"Of course I love you back," I tell him lowly and get on my tip toes to try and kiss him. Leo decides to help a little and bends down a little so that our lips can finally meet. Man, did I miss kissing him.
John, who was just watching the whole thing finally makes himself known, "I'm glad you're back together, I was getting tired of the unnecessary moping," he says teasingly. Obviously, I know he would never mind me moping around him. I believe when he says he just wants me to be ok.
I'm about to answer when we're interrupted by a new presence. This one was unwanted, though. This one is Laurel.
"Seriously, did she seriously not get the memo?" I hear Leo mutter under his breath.
"So, I see you can't get the idea that Leo doesn't want you," Laurel says, with a han resting on her hip.
"Oh...honey," I start. "I think it's you who can't get the idea, because in case you haven't noticed, I'm the one dating him, not you. In fact you never did."
"Yeah, well," she seems to think for a while before continuing. "You broke up before because he was kissing me, so...there's your answer."
I took a step closer to her, using my height tomy advantage, hovering over her, "We didn't break up because of you. No need to give yourself so much credit."
That seems to have been enough to shut her up because she left. Finally. Hopefully this time it'll be for good.
"That was hot," Leo whispers in my ear, so that only I can hear him.
"Thank you. I just think it's time she finally leaves us alone, I'm getting really tired of her always being around."
"Trust me, I get it."
The bell rings just as he finishes saying that and we each make our way to class.
Unfortunately, as soon as I sat down, the sleep came all crushing down on me and, really, I just wanted my bed and I knew staying awake throughout the day would most definitly be a challenge.

Crossroads
On the continent of Khaan, a peculiar boy escapes from his hidden village to find a land to call home. Suppressed ambitions are unveiled as a head-strong princess defies the emperor. New kingdoms expand as the old decay. This is a story of those who lived in the times of change. Dear Reader, Thank you for stopping by! This is my first attempt at writing something of more substantial length and would be incredibly grateful to receive feedback and advice. The plan is to post at least a chapter a week and more if I find time. Also, in order to not disappoint any expectations; the story plays in a fictional world reminiscent of the real world 17th to 19th century with some supernatural elements, but no obvious magic or game-like system.

The Warden
Jake was a simple man. All he wanted was to live out the rest of his life on his family farm, a modest life, but one you could take pride in. Then Jake came into the kind of money family dynasties are founded on. Vacationing at his newly bought lake, Jake sits on his porch alone and watches as the world is ripped apart by some god-like being. This god-like being then decides that all descendants of the Gho Clan, still capable of cultivation, will be placed into a trial to test if they are worthy to return to the heavenly realm. Guess what, that inclueds Jake. Now, trapped alone in a cage made from a valley uprooted from Earth, Jake must learn to survive as everything is flooded with some energy he'd never seen nor imagined before; let's call it Qi. As everything changes, and the lines between fact and fiction blur, Jake will learn that his land, and by extension him, are far more important than anyone realizes. And the bastard who destroyed Earth? Well, he'll get what's coming, one way or another.
