Author's Note: Hello again! :3 So here is the chapter I promised, I felt very inspired today for some reason so I finished it quickly weeeeee! :D I also created a new story. This time it focusses on DenNor and it's called "Obvious and Oblivious". It's mainly about Norway having a little crush on Denmark and him trying to hide it from Denmark who is very unaware of what was going on. If you want to, go ahead and check it out. :)
As always, I'd like to thank everyone who followed, favorited, and reviewed. I hope you like this next chapter and enjoy!
REPLY TO REVIEWS:
MiyukoLove – Haha I agree! :P I feel like I should connect Michelle with Japan and Hungary somehow. I don't know. I guess we'll see ;)
Raven-of-the-Dog – Thank you. :D I feel like Emil has had many practice of biting back because of Lukkas. :P To answer your question, Lukkas and Mathias aren't yet engaged. I actually have a plan for them along with Toris and Feliks. I'm just trying to find a way to connect the stories together without making it seem too randomly stated. Here's a hint though: *Michelle has something to do with Toris and Feliks' story!* Teehee :3
happyharkeychoco – Haha :P yaaaay for confetti! :D
Since Leon arrived, we've spent almost an hour finishing out homework. Most of them were English, because of Mr. Kirkland and his damn lesson plans. Then the rest were just a variety of subjects. It took us an hour because Leon insisted taking little breaks in between all the studying in order to prevent my headaches to grow even more unbearable. We had just finished the new module in Algebra, which wasn't that hard when Leon explained all the concepts. I hate to admit it, but the way he makes Math into some sort of kiddie story actually helps me understand more.
"You totally love the way I teach Math to you!" Leon said with a smirk.
"What?! No! You're delusional." I lied as I look away from him.
"You're a terrible liar. It's obvious that you do."
"I told you I don't!"
"You do."
"Don't!"
"Do."
"DON'T! YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!" I exclaimed, hoping that would get him to shut up.
"Oh come on, Emil. Don't be so mean." Leon pouted. I try my best to keep a stern cold look, but dammit, he was so freaking cute!... SHIT! I mean he looked okay! He was still pouting at me and I just I couldn't help it.
"Okay fine… It helped a bit."
"I knew it!" Leon shouted with joy.
"My god. Are you always this hyper?" I said, which was meant to be a rhetorical question, but he answered.
"Nope." This made me a bit confused.
"What do you mean no?"
"I'm not always this hyper. I'm usually just chill and silent."
"You don't seem that way right now."
"I don't, do I? Well, I don't know the reason for that. There's just something about you. Is that weird?" It is.
"No. Not at all." I said, not wanting to hurt his feelings. It got a bit quiet and an awkward atmosphere was beginning to fill up the room. Thankfully, Leon broke the silence.
"Sooooo, it's your turn."
"My turn?"
"Yeah, tell me about yourself."
"What about me?"
"I don't know. Your likes, your dislikes, Oh! How about your brother? He seems interesting."
"Half-brother."
"Hm?" I sighed. You know how people exaggerate when they say 'it's a long story'? Well this definitely was a long story and I'm not just overstating it. Leon was ready to listen so I explained.
"When I was really young, my parents divorced and my mom took full custody over me. It was actually very easy for her to do, since my biological father didn't really fight or anything. He wasn't the committing type. I mean he had a good job and all, but the responsibility of taking care of a child was just not one that he wanted to take. So to start a new life, we moved from Iceland to Norway. My mom decided to move there, because she was in love with the place. Norway just seemed like a good home for us. After a few years though, my mom met this full Norwegian guy and she remarried. The Norwegian guy had a son too who was older than me and that son was Lukkas. Apparently, Lukkas' mom had died when he was little and its' been him and his dad ever since."
"What was she sick with?" Leon asked.
"Lukkas doesn't like to talk about it."
"Okay, continue."
"Continue?" I quizzically stated.
"Yeah, continue."
"I'm done."
"No no no. That can't be the ending of the story! There should be a happy ending." Leon whined.
"What? It is a happy one!"
"No, you ended with a death thing. Happy endings don't end with one, Emil, so you have to continue."
"I don't understand you."
"You don't have to. Just continue." Not wanting to debate anymore, I just sucked it up and did what he said.
"… Fine… Well, many kids expect that step-fathers or mothers were evil and stuff, but our family was actually really nice. My new dad was accepting and kind while my mom loved Lukkas just the way she loved me. Lukkas and I also became sort of close. He is very overprotective sometimes. It's annoying. He also likes to tease me a lot especially about when I was little and called him 'Big Brother'. I hate it so much. I don't even remember saying that to him!" Leon then looked at me with a doubtful expression at what I had just said.
"… Okay, maybe I do remember it, but that isn't the point! Shit, I'm getting out of track. Where was I? Oh yeah, so Lukkas and I are close blah blah. After a many years later, Lukkas was offered a job here in America. It paid very well and so he took it. Now, I was turning fifteen at this point so I was going to be a freshman, and Lukkas found this school that offered many opportunities for students in America. Upon knowing this, he convinced my parents to let me move with him to America and viola, I am now here." I finished the story, waiting for Leon's reaction. He didn't say a word for a few seconds, but eventually he spoke up.
"You're forgetting something."
"What?" I questioned, bewildered by the response.
"After a few more years, you met this guy from Hong Kong, and you became instant friends with him, because he is like superhot, irresistible and cool." Leon said with a smirk. I couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
"Yeah, sure. You are full of yourself." I replied jokingly.
"Hey, just telling the truth." He stated with both his hands up in a surrendering motion. Two knocks then were heard and the door opened. It was Lukkas.
"Hey, I just wanted to ask. Leon, are you staying for dinner?"
"Oh no, I actually have to get home soon. I just wanted to help, Emil with his homework."
"Alright, how many more work do you guys have to do?" Leon looked inside his bag to check. He skimmed through the papers and then said.
"Hm? I think we're done now actually. I guess this is my cue to leave." He stood up from the bed.
"Thank you for having me, sir." He said to Lukkas.
"It was our pleasure, and there's no need for formalities. Call me Lukkas."
"Um, well, I'm not used to calling older people like that. Is it okay if I call you 'diegou Lukkas'? It means big brother in Cantonese." And at that moment, Lukkas wanted to adopt Leon.
"Of course you can! Emil, you should learn from your friend here." Leon then turned to me and gave a quick wink. What an asshole.
"I must be getting home now. It's pretty late." Leon said.
"If you want, I can drive you to your house." Lukkas offered which surprised the hell out of me. He NEVER offered.
"Oh no, its fine diegou Lukkas, I can walk."
"You sure? It won't be a problem."
"I'm sure. I should be on my way. Thank you again and Emil…" He looked at me and gave one of his small smiles.
"I really hope you get well soon."
"Thanks." I replied. He then gave a small wave and went out the door. The room felt a bit emptier. I felt this weird tingling thing in my chest as if something was missing. I didn't even notice that Lukkas was in the room until he said something.
"I can see why you like him." Lukkas said.
"I don't like him. You only think that because he called you big brother." I tell him, but Lukkas shook his head and disagreed.
"I only think that because I am YOUR big brother and I know you." He replied before he left the room. Now, I was alone again. I felt tired and drained. I laid back on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I was just thinking about everything that occurred in the past few days. I close my eyes and reminisce. I don't know why this is happening or how to act when I see him again, but I only know one thing that I wish I didn't.
I am slowly falling for Leon.
Author's Note: Weeeee Big Brother Lukkas :3. I'm very sorry if the Cantonese for older brother is wrong. I don't speak Cantonese or know anyone who does, so I just googled this. I'm really sorry if it is! Also, thank you so much for reading and feel free to comment on this chapter if you like. And here's a spoiler for the next chapters ahead: "Shit is about to get REAL.". Hope you enjoyed and I will update soon!
