'Calm down, you've seen plenty of jackasses nude, why are you affected now?'
While the boy was rubbing his nose clean,
Leader lastly stops a few steps away from him, wondering why he's only looking at this dimwit's backside. When the boy was done, he finally showed his almost-flushed expression, looking a bit messy in his sweaty state. Leader raised his eyebrows in question.
A stale silence hovered over them as the boy continues to smirk innocently. Leader's eye twitches from the sight. He slowly turns back around and walks slowly towards his locker, rummaging for something. When he turned back around, a neatly folded grey jacket in his hand was seen as he walked up to the boy, the same indifference that seemed permanent on his handsome face.
"Hey, thanks! I was looking all over for it..."
The boy became silent suddenly as he wondered how Leader had his jacket this whole time and never said anything. He looked back at Leader for answers when he was suddenly forced to turn around and was shoved impolitely against the lockers. The boy gasped from the impact as his eyes widened in shock. Hands wrap securely around his neck to make sure no words should interrupt or slip. Leader closed the distance between the two as his lips hovered over his. The boy's nose betrayed him when it dripped again as his reaction. Nothing, no words were said as the boy looked squarely into Leader's eyes. The boy suddenly smirked as Leader's glare became more fierce.
"Since the restaurant incident, y-you've been the biggest mystery that has yet to be solved."
The boy tried to whisper out his words the best he could but got choked more firmly when he ushered his last words. More blood was shed.
"A-ah! It seems like you want to be s-solved physically, huh?"
His bloody smirk slipped to be more sly, as his face became beetroot red with no proper circulation. His human hand started to slowly trail down Leader's bare chest, taking hold of the pendant, playfully twirling it around his fingers as if he owned him. Leader's eye twitched again as he sighed for a while, contemplating his thoughts before his next actions became regrettable.
He finally loosened his grip and threw the boy to the side. Harsh coughs could be heard from the boy as Leader quickly changed into a new outfit and left quietly.
I sighed as the boy and I thought the same question.
'What did I do wrong?'
The scenery quickly changed towards the racing tournament, the crowd becoming more rowdy than usual with eyes becoming more vicious than snakes as they shouted for their next contestants to come out. Seems like Leader and I were up against the country's most favorite passionate champions. But I didn't give any concerns for the next challengers when Leader stood next to me, his see-through netted top gave no filter as it fitted tightly on his lean muscular body, his exposed nipples harshly perked from the chilly air, bringing in the finishing look with loose military pants on his long legs and twilight black combat boots.
Even if we're similarly dressed, my nose and jr made themselves known by appreciating the sight next to me. I looked away while holding my nose, thinking of disturbing frightful images in my head to calm 'him' down.
When we all stood at our markers, on our side were the crowd's favorite couple, who glared daggers at me and Leader. However, we paid no mind to them when there was a glaring competition between me and Leader itself.
"Before we begin, answer this one question that requires a verbal response. Why are you mad?"
Leader continued to glare at me but looked away when the question popped up. Both his fists clenched and unclenched on his side as he looked deeply into my eyes. Both his eyes glowed brightly blue as he ushered his first words to me.
"Win to find out."
Huh?
I looked at him dumbfounded but he no longer paid attention to me when the announcer called out for us to be ready. When all of us were on our mark, I turned to look at Leader, determination making themselves known with an anticipating smile pulling on my face. Giving me a side eye, Leader gave out a sexy smile of his own.
Bang!
The gunshot sounded out as all four of us sprinted on the long tunnel platform. Once my feet rushed forward, adrenaline rushed through my veins, urging me to ignore any fatal distraction. The starter point was always the easiest point to control our stamina. As both my feet and breathing came into a rhythm, I felt a big impact against my shoulders, getting almost off track as I continued to rush forward to get my footing back but got a punch in the gut instead. I stumbled a bit back before I raised my head to look clearly at the culprit.
Leader!?
I realized we both were the only ones in front as our challengers were far back on the racing track. Leader chuckles loudly as he goes forward. My competitive ass won't let that slide that easily as I immediately picked my pace. When we were both finally side by side, I smiled politely at him as I slyly took a handful of his hair and pulled it back harshly. He immediately fell in pain as I chuckled loudly this time. Both my feet never cease their speed as I refocused on my surroundings. One thing that this racing platform is famous for and it's the tricky parkour obstacles. Both colorful blocks that are a size of a whale, came tumbling down a very curvy letter 'Y' tunnel, side by side as I immediately pressed an activation rocket boost button from my combat boots. Once pressed, I was immediately lifted in the air for a split few seconds as it boosted me forward over the blocks as I continued through the tracks. Half an hour through the race, I was keeping the same pace, not catching a glimpse of Leader the entire time, which made me a bit concerned. But I did not look back even once.
As I got over it, I pushed forward with extreme speed as I looked forward at a dark pathway. Even if there was no light in sight, I didn't hesitate to go in. I couldn't afford to hesitate. However, inside felt very humid and hot as my breathing became a bit heavier, and my body was covered up entirely with sweat down to my toes. But I did not stop.
My footing throughout the first 30 minutes felt flawless but it slowed down suddenly when both my feet felt very heavy. What? I tried to lift them one at a time, but it got more difficult the more I struggled. My breathing got more heavy as I tried to loosen the boots off my feet. My fingers stopped their movement when I felt that I wasn't alone. I looked up as my gaze darted around quickly, but all I saw was darkness. As much as this is useless, I closed my eyes and focus on my other senses. What my ears only picked up were some familiar breathing patterns, but they could not precisely pinpoint his location.
When I opened my eyes again, I immediately closed my mouth from the startled shout that was about to erupt. In front of my face were two glowing blue eyes that were staring deep into mine, viciously glaring. I was about to slap his face away from mine when he snatched my incoming hands. I angrily grit my teeth as I use my other hand when he snatches that one as well and plants both of them on each side of my head. He slowly raised both my arms as my body stood up with them. I could not see anything but that did not stop my body from feeling every bit of his body heat, which seemed to be warmer than the atmosphere itself.
