A/N: I had to make this! Enjoy the LogosxLeblanc if that's what you like (I know I do! 3) or you NoojxLeblanc fans can jiggy down with this too, (kinda, for a while, not for long :D)
WARNING: Inside, for a moment, is some goons I named and made personalities for. So O.C warning!
The O.C. Goons- *If you already know them, just skip to the story*
Taji: (Goon) An Al Bhed teen who has an a major attitude problem. He is always stuck with the job of guarding the front door, and major hobbies include pissing off Logos and anything to do with Machines. He is Daji's several minute older twin brother.
Daji: (Goon) Taji's several minute younger twin brother. He is also a known homosexual, and prefers wearing girl clothes over boy's (However, his uniform doesn't allow him to change his outfits very often). He also happens to be one of Leblanc's close goon friends and the only male in that selective group. He takes fashion advice from Leblanc and in his free time dresses like a male counterpart to her. His short blonde hair is even styled like hers. He also is the only goon Leblanc trusts to guard her door.
Anomi: (She-Goon) Another Al Bhed (though a female). She wears goggles and has shoulder length blonde hair. She is often times teamed up with Ormi on missions and likes to think of herself in a higher position than just a She-goon, which she was recently demoted to after an incident on Gagazet when she suggested she and her partner take a hot spring bath instead of work. Due to her more laid back attitude, constant laziness, and numerous attempts to duck out of any form of hard work, she is not likely to get promoted again anytime soon.
Mara: (Fem-Goon) A sweet woman, nineteen years old, whose main duties include talking and giving massages to Leblanc. She reminds most of the Syndicate of Yuna (of course, that only applies to the ones that had the pleasure of meeting her.). This is due to the fact that she sounds like her, and has similar mannerisms, however she doesn't look like her as she has dark brown, boy-short hair, and a long hanging rectangle earring. She was promoted from a She-goon to a Fem-goon by Leblanc herself, and was able to escape a demotion after her partner, Anomi (who often gets her into trouble anyways), convinced her to slack off with the incident on Gagazet.
Nago: (Mr. Goon) A very handsome man who Daji, and most of the unnamed and young female Goon population, has a major crush on. His only flaw is that he's very by the book, if a book of rules for the Leblanc Syndicate existed, and follows orders to the exact letter. This may not seem like a flaw, but it often accidentally causes trouble as he takes things literally. Despite that, his readiness to follow commands often got him teamed up with Logos, who was often irritated with what he deemed pointless questions about his brisk commands. Nago also has a distinct weakness against girls, as he is too hesitant to actually physically hit them. He has blue eyes and brown hair of medium length, that flows against his face..
And now to the story...
When did it start? Leblanc thought back to earlier events as she sat in the quiet of her room, her friends having just vacated it in the late hours to seek rest in their own beds. Leblanc's amber gaze was pointed upwards towards the many bolts of the cloth that swung decoratively from one spot to the other on her lovely ceiling. She did not have to wonder long, as she recalled the exact moment.
She remembered it started when Daji, the goon who guarded her door. He simply asked her the question that 'girls' sometimes did. He was painting her toes at that moment and trying to find just the right color, and to pass the time, he mindlessly jabbered to all the girls. No one particular was listening; Anomi reading a magazine on Leblanc's couch, Mara rubbing was their beloved Boss's shoulders and humming contently, and Leblanc herself was getting her shoulders rubbed and toes painted, preoccupied with her own thoughts.
Then, it happened. Leblanc couldn't remember what he was talking about before, but it seemed like it transitioned smoothly into his words so that they finally became a conversation instead of talking to half-listening air. Daji lifted his head from her toes and asked in his somewhat squeaky voice-
"So, Boss, what's your type?"
The Goon was casual and innocent enough about it. Still, the question had Leblanc raise a brow and she stared at him over the two round curves of her knees.
"Why do you ask, love?"
He shrugged and replied easily, "Just wonderin', Boss."
"I'll tell you what I like," Anomi chuckled darkly behind her magazine, her uncovered green spiral eyes slowly rising over the edge to peer at her friends, "I like wild bad boys. You know, they're mean and tough, covered in tattoos, and they don't take crap from anyone. But secretly they're good cooks and nice to girls, and look adorable when they have bed-head or are covered in oil after messing with their machines-"
Mara's sweet voice followed her tilting head, "Have you ever met someone like that?"
"No," Anomi said rather sadly, "Why would I be single if I have? I tell you what, as soon as I meet a boy like that, he's not leaving my sight!"
"That sounds rather obsessive, don't you think?" Mara said rather hesitantly. Her comment said a lot of what she thought was obsessive, since she didn't even bat an eye at her Boss's behavior in her love life.
"Well, what would you do if you found the boy of your dreams?" Anomi shot back.
Mara lowered her shoulders and softly muttered, "Oh, I don't know..."
"What is the boy of your dreams, anyhow?" Daji piped and Mara blushed instantly, oddly flustered at this simple question and at the eyes that turned to look at her, waiting for her answer. Her hands rose to the sides of her face and she managed in a quivery voice.
"Uhm... I really don't know...strong...kind...and it wouldn't matter if he was handsome." Mara looked down to her knees and blushed harder, "But it wouldn't be a problem if he was either... He would be a good gentleman and-"
"That's all stereotypical…" Anomi cut in and quickly added with a humored voice, "Why don't you just say that the guy's rich and got a nice dic-"
"Uwa!" Mara gasped and looked over at the Al Bhed woman, shocked, "Anomi, don't say things like that!"
"It's on my list, if I could help it." Anomi smiled and puckered her full lips towards the boy that was carefully applying color to his superior's pinky toe, "And how about you Daji-baby?"
Daji flinched before nervously smiling down at his Boss's feet, "Well, I guess I like handsome, and-"
"*Koff*-Nago-*koff*" Anomi faked coughing and openly laughed at the now blushing teen stretched across the bedspread a little across the room from her. "I kid, I kid," She amended, and Daji relaxed, smiling a little.
Anomi finished her laugh and finally tossed the magazine aside, before devoting her full attention to the conversation that she sensed was going to turn interesting, since the only one that remained that had yet to be questioned was their dear Boss. She set her chin in her hands and waited with bright green eyes focused on the Lady Luck still sitting comfortably on the bed.
Daji didn't hesitate to include the Boss, his head tilting, "What about you Leblanc? What do you like in men?"
"Do you need to ask? Nooj-"Leblanc smiled and was cut off by Daji.
"Not who do you like. What do you like…" Daji sat up onto his knees and leaned forward expectantly, "What's something you just absolutely love to see on guys? You know...like, types?"
"Yeah!" Anomi said excitedly, leaping across the room and plopping roughly onto the bed onto her side. Leblanc looked up briefly, thinking it was good thing she had a crazily large bed. Anomi blinked, her chin back into her hand, and said through her broad smile, "I'm curious to know what you think is cute, Boss."
"Umm…" Leblanc leaned back and twitched her now drying toes, before she loosened her body. She seemed to resign herself to the fact that escape was not possible, and she had to tell them something. So she seriously thought about it, her throat humming thoughtfully,"Hmm…"
It was hard to think though. When it came to what she liked, all she had on her mind presently was the Meyvn.
To help, Mara leaned over, joining the expectantly smiling party, and prodded, "What do you like most about Nooj, besides his many feats and-" Mara paused to giggle softly, " 'Godly' smile."
"His long hair," Leblanc said without hesitation afterward, the answer coming to her like it fell from the sky. How come she hadn't thought of it before, it was so obvious.
The goons turned and looked curiously at each other. Something was not quite right. The Boss was talking about Nooj, but for some reason, the way she answered was not at all in the dreamy voice one would expect from her. They looked back at her and stared.
"Why's that?" Daji asked when the Boss did not realize she had said something odd, or rather, that way she had said it was.
Leblanc thought for a moment, weighing her options, before she pulled her legs to her body and looked from each of her friends' faces, her brows lifting in surprise, "You all really want to know?"
"Tell us, please?" Mara moved her hands in front of her body in an encouraging gesture, scooting around to sit more directly in front of Leblanc with the other two.
"It's a long story, Loves," Leblanc turned her head to the side, " I don't know if we've the time-"
"No one's going to bother us unless you tell them too, Leblanc," Anomi eagerly waited for her Boss to start explaining, the story sounding juicy somehow. The other goons appeared to have been as equally as excited, and Leblanc caved in with the amusing thought that she was like a kindergarten teacher gathering kids for storytime…
"Alright," Leblanc began her story slowly, her voice carrying lightly, "It was a long while back…when I was a little girl."
Review? More chapters soon…
