2 Chapter 1, Leon's Problem



" What is wrong with me? Why do I blush and feel so weird when he's around?" the questions raged through Leon's brain as he lied in his bed with Claude at the Central City inn.

Leon knew he needed advice for once and proceeded to wake his "Big Brother", the only person he felt he could trust with his perplexing situation.

"Big Brother, wake up! I need to talk to you about something, something that has been bothering me ever since I joined your group."

"Ugh. Alright Leon, what is it? Considering you woke me up in the middle of the night this had better be good!"

"Umm… well… it's about Ashton."

"What about Ashton? Let me guess, you've suddenly developed a fear of his dragons."

"Thankfully not. It's just, whenever I'm around him, I feel all-warm and strange inside and I start to blush. I was hoping you might know what's wrong with me.

"Err…* Oh GREAT! How am I supposed to explain THIS to him? It's not like I can just tell him I think he has a crush on Ashton. Then again, he is a smart boy; he might not all that shocked. Oh well, here goes nothing. * "

"Claude? Claude? Are still with us Claude?"

"Sorry Leon. Anyway, as I was saying, I… ahem… think you have a crush on Ashton!"

"WHAT!? Did you just say you think I have a crush on ASHTON? Big brother, in case you haven't realized it yet, I'm a BOY! Boys are supposed to like GIRLS not BOYS!"

"Haven't you ever heard of Homosexuality Leon?"

"No, what does it mean?"

"Well you know how everyone is different right?"

"Right"

"Well um… some people are very different because they like only people of the same gender, that's homosexuality. The only problem is most people can't accept that they are like that and are mean to them, so if you do ever think you are, don't tell anyone unless you're absolutely ready.

"So you're implying that I'm most likely homosexual, right?"

"Yes I am."

"Well who am I supposed to talk to about this?

"Don't worry about it, I happen to know that tomorrow a two people that you know are planning to tell the group that they've fallen love."

"Who is it? Tell me!"

"You'll find out tomorrow, in the mean time let's get some sleep, g'night Leon"

"Fine, good night Big brother." *This certainly is getting interesting, I wonder who the people are? Well I'll find out tomorrow so I had best get to sleep*

With that thought, his eyes closed once more and off to sleep he went, wondering who will reveal themselves tomorrow.



Author's Note: There, the first chapter in my first fic, completed. I hope you didn't find too bad, but then again this is my first fic so it can't be too good either. Chapter 2 will be coming soon.
