《Brains and Brawn (BxB)》Chapter 29

Matt's POV:
Leo and I have been together again for about two months. It's been weirdly simple. Nothing major happened. His parents were super happy to see me again when I went there after about a week into being together, I was weirdly touched to see they liked me. Even his father seemed glad to see me. And let's not even talk about the glee in Cat's eyes when she saw me.
Anyway, the only weird thing that happened these past months is the new relationship between Laurel and Ben. I really don't trust it if I'm being honest. I can't keep ignoring the nagging feeling that they're planning something. Well, let's hope I'm wrong and that they just bonded over their malicous doings and actually fell in love.
Leo invited me to go to his place today to have dinner with him and his parents, because apparently his mom missed me when we were broken up. So I'm just waiting for this day to end so that I can go have dinner with them. I asked Mrs. Pemberton to watch over Chris and seeing as Mike is home for the weekend, it was an extra pair of hands to help control those two together.
So now here I am, finally at the end of the day, putting my books away in my locker and getting the ones I need, along with the never ending amount of homework for the weekend.
A pair of hands around my waist snaps me out of my thoughts of self pity of all the homework I have. I turn around an come face-to-face with my gorgeous boyfriend, who immediately bends down to kiss me.
"Hey," he says and kisses me again, "I missed you."
"We saw each other at lunch," I answer with a smile, but still allow him to kiss me again. It's not easy denying him kisses.
"Yeah, but still. So...you ready to go?"
"Yup," I close my locker and zip my back pack. "I'm just gonna go get Chris and drop him off at Mrs. Pemberton and I'll see you in a few hours."
"Are you sure I can't just go with you?" he asks me with a pout.
"No, Leo," I chuckle. "You'll only be a distraction. And I still have to go home and shower and all that."
"Well," he says with a smirk on his face and a hint of mischief in his eyes. "I need to shower, too."
"That's good to know. See, then you should go home, too and shower quickly before I get there."
He pouts again and catches my lips once more. I don't know how long we kiss for, but all I know is that it feels too goo to stop, so I don't. Soon enough, he slips a hand under my shirt and lets my back touch the locker, probably for support.
We're interrupted by a clearing of a throat, which makes me remember that we are in fact still in school and being very open and visible to the public eye.
"Seriously? You guys have no self control," John says with a smirk on his face. "I just came here to give this to Matt, so here you go and, please, don't let me stop you."
After giving me back the notes I had lend him before, he turns around and goes away.
"We should go, too," I say and push lightly, to put some space between us.
"Ok, I'll see you later," he pecks my lips one more time and leaves, but not before sending me a wink over his shoulder.

-------------------------------
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Pemberton, for letting him stay overnight," I thank her as I'm leaving.
"You should know by now that I really don't mind looking after him," she answers with a warm smile on her face.
"Even so, thank you," I open the door to leave, but not before turning to Chris and kneeling in front of him," and you, behave, ok? I'll see you tomorrow. I love you."
He hugs my neck, "love you, too."
"Bye, Mike!" I shout before closing the door behind me and hearing his "goodbye Matt".
And just like that, I'm off to the Bryants.
The ride was quite fast, but seeing as I still had time and I didn't want to arrive too early, I decided to take the longer way, make the most of my alone time, that is always goo once in a while.
When I arrive, I park my car in their driveway and make my way to the door, where I ring the doorbell and wait for someone to open the door for me.
"Matt!" Olivia greets with a hug. "Come on in!"
"Thanks, Olivia," I say with a warm smile on my face. Words cannot explain how nice this family has been to me, even after I broke up with their son they have been nothing but nice and supportive. "Is Mr. Bryant here already?"
Another thing, I got along with Leo's dad weirdly well. I mean, I get why he and Leo don't get along, they have very similiar personalities and so, they kinda clash, but you can see Mr. Bryant is just trying his best and wants his best for his son. He just doesn't know how to show it.
"Yes, honey, he's in the living room and Leo's upstairs in his bedroom, you can go ahead, I'm gonna go finish making dinner."
"Do you need help with anything?"
"No, thank you, Matt. You can go ahead."
I make my way to the living room where Mr. Bryant is sitting on the couch, still in his suit, watching the news.
"Hello, Mr. Bryant," I tell Mr. Bryant, with a small wave of my hand.
"Good evening, Matt, how are you?"
"I'm good, sir, thanks," I answer. We exchange pleasentries for a while longer until I make my way upstairs to go see Leo.
I knock on his bedroom door and wait for him to answer or say something and when he does I make my way inside his bedroom.
"Hey!" I say excitedly and go to him with a smile on my face, that he happily return.
He's just there sitting on his bed on his computer in nothing but a sweatpants. So, nothing new, really.
"Hey, babe," he says once I sit next to him on the bed and kisses me.
"Why did I even think you would have a shirt on? You seem to not own those here," I tease, poking his belly. Well, technically, his abs.
"I like to show off to my boyfriend," he answers and starts kissing me again.
The position we are currently in is pretty awkward, seeing as we're both resting our backs in the headboard. I honestly wouldn't mind if not for the fact that I like to be as close to him as possible, so I do what my instincts tell me to and move a little, without breaking the kiss, and straddle his lap.
He doesn't seem that surprise, honestly, because he just pulls me closer to him and kisses me harder, his tongue licking my lips, asking for permission. I don't think about it twice before parting my lips and allowing him to push his tongue in. I let out a soft and low moan the moment his tongue touches mine.

His hand makes it's way to my hand, where it seems to be a lot lately, and gives it a little squeeze, while mine just roams his chest freely, feeling his abs and absorving every groan that comes out of his mouth.
We should probably stop, I know we should. We'll have to go down for dinner pretty soon and going down to have dinner with his parents looking flustered and disheveled and with a very noticeable boner in our pants isn't exactly ideal.
Just as that thought ends, we're interrpted by a knock on Leo's bedroom door and Olivia's voice following making us jump apart immediately, "Boys! Dinner!"
"Oh my God," I breathe. "That was close. See, this is what happens when you walk around shirtless."
"Why do you think I do it?" he adds a wink at the the end of the sentence and goes out the door, grabbing a shirt hagging on the hook on his door and putting it on.
I take a deep breath and follow him out the door and down the stairs and to the dining room.
We each take our sits and Mrs. Bryant serves us all dinner.
"So, Matt, dear, how's Chris?" Olivia asks me.
"He's good, he hasn't gotten in trouble in a while so I take that as an accomplishment. His teachers also say he's been doing really good in school."
"That's great! You should bring him around someday."
I agree and we continue with dinner with amicable conversation going around. All in all, it was good dinner.
We're cleaning up the dessert dishes when a phone rings and Mr. Bryant goes to another room to answer it. It's when I'm helping Leo with the dishes that Mr. Bryant comes in the room and says, "Olivia, I have to go to my father's house. He had a problem with the bathroom sink and it's leaking, I think. I'm going over there to see what I can do."
"Ok, I'll go with you, let me just go put some other clothes on," Olivia says.
"Very well, I'll be waiting in the car," David then looks at me with a nod. "It was good to see you again, Matt."
"You too, sir."
Olivia enters the kitchen again with different clothes on, "I'm sorry we'll have to leave. We probably won't drive back until tomorrow morning seeing as it's a little far, but Matthew, you're welcome to spend the night here. Bye and be careful"
And with a kiss to Leo's cheek and a small hug for me, she's off.
I'm not nervous to spend the night here, or be alone here with him. It's not like it's the first time so I just ask, "I didn't know about you grandparents."
"Oh, yeah, we don't get along all that well. The only holiday we spend together is Thanksgiving, really. Soemtimes not even that. They're kinda snobbish and think themselves above us because they have more money."
"Oh, that's not very nice."
We finish cleaning the kitchen and make some popcorn and choose some snacks and return to Leo's bedroom to watch a movie.
"So," Leo asks me. "What you feel like watching?"
"I don't really know... Nothing too serious, though. Maybe an action or something?"
He nods and chooses a random movie on netflix that none of us have watched before and we start watching, talking about random things once in a while instead of actually paying attention to the movie we're supposedly watching.
I don't know how we got here, but right now we're just throwing skittles at each others mouths and see who can get more points.
Leo throws one at me and I catch it again.
He pouts at that and asks, "How are you so good at this?"
I laugh, "I don't know, I guess it's just one of my many talents."
I throw another one at him but it ends up hitting him in the nose instead.
He seems to be done with this, because next thing I know he jumps on me and lays his whole body on me, making me laugh like there's no tomorrow.
"Get off me," I manage to get out in between breaths.
We both go silent when we make eye contact and the mood changes so fast that you wouldn't think that literally a minute ago we were laughing like maniacs.
Leo stops laying on me and instead hovers over me, but never stops looking at me, "I love you, Matt. I really do."
"I love you, too," I say with a soft smile on my face and put my hand on his neck to pull him down to me and kiss him.
He doesn't take a second before kissing me back. And so, we're once again making out on his bed. This time, with probably no distractions, so it'll be up to us to stop it. And I don't know if I wanna stop.
I break the kiss momentarily to breathe, but Leo doesn't seem to want to waste any time because he starts trailing his kisses down. First my cheek, the my jaw, and then my neck, where he takes very little time in finding that soft spot that makes me let out a very embarrissing moan. My hands clench around his shirt and give it a little tug, hoping he understands what I'm trying to do.
He seems to, because next thing I know his shirt is on the floor and mine is following closely, before he pushes me back on bed, his hands not wasting any time before roaming all over my chest, hovering on the waistband of my jeans and breaking the kiss momentarily to look at me as if asking for permission.
"It's ok," I say softly. "I'm ready. I want this."
----------------------------------------------------(Go to the book R-Rated for the scene if you'd like)
I must admit, waking up next to a mostly naked Leo is probably close to what one would consider Heaven.
I'm currently laying on his chest, one hand wrapped protectively over me and the other playing with my hair, which means he's probably awake already.
I look up and make eye contact with him, wich confirms my suspicions of him being awake already.
I move up a little, just enough to give him a kiss on the lips. It was supposed to be just a peck, but it soon turned into something a lot steamier when he grabbed my hips and we ended up making out lazily and griding a little on each other. I mean, I would go again if not for the soreness so... I guess this will have to do.
Once deemed enough, we break apart, both with huge smiles on our faces and me still sitting straddling his hips with my hands resting on his chest, but Leo seems to recover first and mutters a soft, "Good morning."
I nudge his nose with mine and answer, "Morning."
"You wanna go down for some breakfast?"
"Yeah, breakfast sounds good. We should probably shower first, though."
"Yeah, sounds good," he answers and pecks me a little. "You can shower in this bathroom, I'll use the one down the hall. I'll meet you here."
"Ok," I move out of his lap and make to get ou of the bed, but he pushes me back down and hovers over me.
"I love you," he whispers against my lips.
"I love you, too," I whisper back. "And I'm gonna borrow one of your shirts."
He moves aways, finally, after muttering an 'ok' and we each make our way to bathroom. Just as he's about to leave, an idea pops up.
"You know," I start, making him stop and look back at me with a questioning look in his eyes. "We could just save time and you know...water. Save the planet and all."
He looks at me confused, "Matthew..."
I walk to him and grab his hand, softly pulling him with me to the bathroom, "You could join me..."
A wicked grin makes it's way to his face and he grabbs my thighs, holding me up and making me wrap my legs around his waist, "You don't have to ask me twice."
-----------------
After we had our little shower adventure, we found ourselves understandibly hungry, so Leo decided to make pancakes seeing as his parents will only be home around lunch time.
"So," he asks. "What do you have planned for today?"
"I don't know... I'll probably just take Chris to the park, spend some time with him. Maybe after we get home, I'll study some more..."
He just nods in agreement and we continue to eat our pancakes in a comfortable silence.
When we finish we move to the living room to watch some TV and pass the time. So I snuggle close to Leo, who puts his arm around me and kisses my temple.
We've been snuggling for a while, even sneaking in a few little make out sessions here and there, when we're interrupted by my phone ringing.
The number is unknown, but I instantly know something's wrong the moment the person on the other side first speaks.

The Legendary Rebuilding of a World by a Realist Demon King
In a rotted away castle, Ashta awoke as a Demon King. With his ‘wisdom from a past life,’ he would rule over his lands as a thorough ‘realist.’ “Demon King, why are you attacking the level 1 Heroes?” “Defeat them before they become stronger. That is called strategy.” “Demon King, why are you sending fake money to the enemy country?” “To bring chaos to their economy so they will self-destruct.” “The werewolf troops have attacked. Should we use silver bullets?” “Not bullets, shoot them with canons.” And like that, Ashta ‘reformed’ the old tendencies. He became a lord who was loved by the people and his subordinates and would go on to be called the most powerful Demon King in history.

“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.
