Leo looked over his shoulder at Robin who was puffing up her cheeks in faux anger.
He was trying to formulate an excuse as quickly as he could but Amber beat him to the punch.
"My sweet little sister, don't worry. When he wants tender loving he can come to you and when he wants to take charge and dominate someone, he can use me!"
Leo couldn't stop himself from looking back towards Amber with an incredulous look on his face, 'This girl is a total freak!' he thought to himself, 'I mean... that much was obvious our little tango just a few minutes ago but she seemed so normal when we first met!'
Amber noticed his gaze and turned to him and gave him a little wink before walking past him and towards her sister continuing her little speech, "We agreed that we'd both go after him in our own ways. Did you forget?"
Robin sheepishly replied, "No... but still... if you give him what he wants before I have a chance to be ready then won't I be cast aside?!"
Amber hugged her sister for a moment before she looked over her shoulder towards Leo as if to say, well will you cast her aside?
Catching her drift, Leo walked to Robin's side and kneeled down so he was lower than her and she could look at him without having to break from her sisters embrace.
"Robin.. I think you are adorable, cute, and perfect just the way you are. You don't have to worry about me casting you aside... I love you just as much as I love your sister!"
'Why am I saying that like it's the most obvious thing in the world?! Those aren't even the words I wanted to say!!'
"Really??" Robin asked tentatively.
"It's true. I have always loved you and I will always love you." Leo responded.
'That's not true! What the fuck am I saying right now?! I just met these girls today... how in the fuck could I possibly 'always loved and will always love'?!'
Robin seemed elated by the words and started to giggle happily as she hugged her sister.
Seeing that the two seemed to have made up, rather abruptly as far as Leo was concerned, he gave them both a solid smack on the ass and stood up.
"You probably shouldn't do that while you're still standing there in the buff. I might just have to jump you once again," Amber said, "And besides, how are you going to tell my sister you love her and not me after all that?"
"Oh I love you too Amber, you don't have to worry about that."
'Ahhh! What is happening to me right now?! I don't love these girls! I just met them!' Leo screamed internally.
Amber seemed to accept his words quite readily as she continued to stare at him with a lecherous gaze.
Leo wanted nothing to do with the girls at the moment however, because the words he was speaking were in stark contrast to what he had intended to say and it was beginning to terrify him.
He quickly withdrew a set of clothes from his inventory, threw them on as quickly as he could, and disappeared over the edge of the encloser.
Although he was terrified to be near them at the moment, he didn't want them to be mauled to death, so he made sure to give them a heads up, "I'll be right back! Shoot anything that moves, besides me, of course!"
"Yes dear!"
"Absolutely honey!"
As Leo made his way down the side of the mountain, his mind was in complete disarray.
'How can I possibly tell two girls I just met that I'm in love with them?! Let alone that I have loved them forever and will continue to love them forever?
Is this some side effect of my class and manipulating time?
Am I being influenced by things that are yet to happen or have happened in another timeline?
Why are the words I'm speaking in complete contrast to what I have intended?
It's like something or someone is hijacking my body in those moments and speaking for me...'
Ah.. yeah, sorry about that bud. That'd be me.
Leo nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the voice radiating from deep within his mind.
Relax bud.. relaxxxx. I ain't dangerous and I mean you no harm, so would you please stop punching me in the side of the head...?
'Punching you in the side of the side? Huh? What?' Leo questioned internally as he relaxed his fist and dropped it back down to his side.
You know.. for someone who has lived as many times as we have, we really are quite naïve whenever we first make contact with a new us in a new timeline...
'We? But you just said you are me and now it's we? Explain it more clearly will you!!'
Alright, alright. Relax. If you're all worked up we can't pull your consciousness into the core like we need too.
'Relax?! Why should I relax?! And why should I trust some disembodied voice that suddenly appeared in my head?!'
*Sigh* Look bud, you have the memories of our first life, right? You came into this new life all, 'I'm going to rule the motherfucking world! Fuck everybody! HAHAHA' Am I Right?
'Uhh.. no?' Leo felt like he was a chuni who had just been caught flexing the nonexistent power in his evil left eye at the park!
Sure, lets just pretend that's true, even though we both know it ain't.
Well, I've been there, done that, and it ain't shit.
You think our first life was tough?
Well guess what, being Mr. Badass in the apocalypse only makes you target numero uno in the eyes of the world and gods; which ultimately leads to some REALLY unfortunate situations.
Believe me when I say, you don't want to deal with that.
You following along yet?
'Does this have to do with the Chronosknight class?'
Bingo
'And you're speaking to me from within my Chronosphere Magic Core?'
Right again.
'Are you a me from a different timeline then?'
Look who is starting to catch on!
'Alright, so lets say that's true and I believe you, how and why are you manipulating the things I say?'
I'll keep this short and sweet since we're running out of time, ironically, and we have many things to tell you.
First off, those two girls at the top of your little mountain sanctuary, they will serve you with the utmost sincerity and devotion for the rest of their lives if you don't push them away.
They are invaluable to your survival and we simply gave them a nudge in the right direction so you don't screw it up like you have before.
Secondly, how are we doing this? The power of suggestion!
We simply showed them a future where you were everything they ever wanted and more.
Remember that magic wave that burst forth from your Chronosphere after your class change?
Well, that was us. That magical wave may or have not have implanted some very powerful suggestions in the people who will serve you well in the future.
'It's your fault they went crazy after my class change?! Sonofabitch! I knew something was wrong!
Wait.. you said people as if you were implying it is more than just the two sisters... how many people did you influence?!'
Including the sisters? Thirteen.
But that's not important right now, like I said, we're running out of time.
I need you to take a seat somewhere and relax your mind so that we can pull your consciousness into the Chronosphere, understand?
Although Leo wasn't completely sold on the story that the disembodied voice was selling, he figured this was an opportunity he couldn't afford to pass up so he located a place to sit and folded his legs into the lotus position and focused his mind.
Very good, now we can begin.

Second chapter will be delayed awhile and possibly until tomorrow. Just depends on how much I change. I was rereading it and I am not entirely happy with where its at. I hope you understand!
