I still can't believe it. Leon is sitting besides me on the couch within my home.
'I never imagined the king would tell him he'd have to be a human for a whole week just to see what it's like through my eyes.'
Leon still looked visibly miffed with his current situation. "I can't believe it. What's that fool playing at. He'll do anything for a laugh. ...Well I'm not laughing!" He huffed and turned his focus on me. "What do you do to pass time by?" He asked and I cocked my head to the side.
"Uh, all sorts of things. Like shopping for example."
"Shopping?!" Leon's face twisted at the idea, "You think I would find shopping enjoyable?" He asked, leaning in towards my face.
'Woah, too close.'
"You did just ask what I did and I told you!" I retorted and he leaned back with a smirk.
"Oh-ho, so you are telling me shopping is all you do? How boring." He said with a devilish grin.
"W-What? No! Of course not. I also go to the movies and eat out sometimes." I hurriedly replied and he laughed when suddenly a loud growl resounded through the apartment. Leon was stunned into silence and placed a hand on his stomach.
"What was that?" He asked looking down where his hand was and I let out a giggle. "It looks like someone is hungry."
"Hungry? So that's what it's like. You really weren't kidding every time your stomach roared." He casually remarked and I felt my cheeks burn up.
'How embarrassing. He doesn't have to say it like that.' I puffed up my cheeks and turned away feeling a little irked.
"Cook me something."
'Huh?!' I looked up to see him looking at me expectantly.
"Hey, I'm not here to just slave for you. You can ask nicely you know." I said with a slight annoyance in my tone.
Leon looked startled for a minute from the the tone of my voice and then stood up, "Fine. I'll go cook for myself." He said and marched off to the kitchen before I could say anything.
'Does he even know how to...?'
I remained sitting on the couch but time continued to pass and he still made no signs of emerging from the kitchen.
"He's sure taking his time. ...Hm, It is awfully quiet in there." I stand up and head over to the kitchen and am surprised by what I see.
"Leon..." There Leon is standing in the kitchen looking completely clueless as to what he's supposed to be doing.
He seemed to notice my presence as he spun around to meet my gaze and for a second I swore I saw a blush on his face but he quickly looked away.
"Don't disturb me. I'm trying to cook here." He said and I laughed and began to walk towards him.
"I don't think standing in the kitchen looking completely clueless actually counts as cooking." I chuckled and he breathed a little sigh. "Look, at least you tried. That's all that matters. I'll take it from here." I gave him a small pat on the back and smiled kindly at him.
"You just go out and relax. I'll be quick." I said and started making preparations when I noticed he was still watching me. I turned around to speak but didn't get the chance as he spoke first.
"I want to watch. I'm interested to see how you cook." He said keeping his eyes firmly on me.
I could feel my heartbeat quicken and my body grew warm at the thought of him watching me.
