By the stars this kid was going to ruin him. Looking at him over the rim of his glasses while looking innocent and lost was just asking for trouble.<br/><br/>He took in a steadying, inaudible breath before placing his hand on the small of the kid's back and pushing him gently towards the cafeteria, making the kid go first towards the double doors.<br/><br/>He easily slid into step beside the kid with his long strides, shortening them once he was even-kill with the kid. Though he made sure to push both doors open, instead of having the kid get his own door or possibly his door. He could see the kid trying to open his doors for him. Not going to happen on his watch.<br/><br/>He steadily ignored the looks and whispers as they made their way back to their table. He sat across from Alice once more, "Sorry about that, anything interesting while we were gone?" He asked as he began to eat.<br/><br/>Alice smiled at them, "It is alright. Hey Shawn," she nodded and seemed to smile wider when she looked at Shawn. "And not much, I just began to draft a few things while listening to the whispers concoct their usual nonsense." She said with a slightly posh tone in jest.<br/><br/>He snorted, "Nonsense is an understatement." He glanced at the kid before giving her a look while giving a short jerk of his head at the kid, while the kid wasn't looking.<br/><br/>She nodded with a small smile.<br/><br/>He turned slightly and looked at the kid, "Hey kid," he waited until the kid focused on him, "Want to join us in the library tomorrow after classes end?"<br/><br/>He continued to eat as he waited for the answer, noticing Alice's hopeful look and wondered for a second if he'd have to fight her for the kid.<br/><br/>He froze for a second when he caught up with his thoughts, before sighing softly. Only known the kid briefly and now he was being over-protective and possessive. Great.<br/><br/>His thoughts didn't deter him from hearing the kid's response, no matter how detrimental they were to his psych.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>It's alright, they are your chara's to do with as you wish. Though, you should create some background that comes to light soon that shows why Leo's thoughts immediately jumped to MxM things possibly happening in the hall instead of just a conversation gone long. It'd be cool for the plot especially if some of it got wind to Aki's ears or to a professor or both.<br/><br/>Also, sorry for the late replies I keep doing to you. My muse is going haywire on me between work and headaches. *le sigh*
