HOMOPHOBIA [BXB]

CHAPTER 41

ROME'S POV

"Leo."

I sighed softly hugging the pillow closer to my body as I stared at Leo sitting near my study table finishing his project work and most importantly ignoring me.

He came to my home earlier this morning and since then he sat there doing his work. He didn't even give me a hug.

I pouted sitting up on the bed and took the bedsheets off my body walking upto him. I ran my fingers through my hair pulling the chair away from the table.

"What?"

He looked at me with a confused expression on his face. I bent down sitting on my tippy toes and stared right into his eyes as he started back at me both of us not even blinking.

"Is this what we are going to do? If so, then no I have work."

He tried to push me away gently so he could go back to continue writing but I stood up picking him up in my arms with ease.

"Hey!"

He squeaked instantly wrapping his arms around my neck and his legs around my waist. I smiled taking the pen out of his hold and slammed it on the table walking towards the bed with Leo in my arms.

I dropped him down on the bed and plopped myself beside him pulling him in for a hug. I felt his arms wrapping around my waist as he rested his head on my shoulder hugging me back.

I giggled burying my face into his neck inhaling his sweet scent. He let out a chuckle caressing my hair to which I let out a hum leaning into his touch.

"Okay enough I need to finish my project by next monday."

"Really? We didn't even cuddle for five minutes!"

"I promise that we will cuddle how much ever you want to after I finish my work."

"No.. You have two more days to do that stupid project."

"Rome please."

I felt my cheeks heat up loving the way he pronounced my name. It felt good.

"Hmph."

I let go of him and he pecked my cheek skipping towards the table again. I turned to the other side grabbing my phone from the nightstand and scrolled through my socials to kill some time.

An hour passed, but Leo is still doing his project. I sat on the bed throwing my phone on the mattress and walked to him again. I twirled his chair around as he had a suprised yet shocked expression on this time.

"I'm almost done."

"Oh okay."

I replied smiling at him to which he returned the gesture and turned around doing his work. I placed my arms on the either side of his body peeking into the paper in which he was writing the information needed.

"I like your handwriting."

"Thank you."

"Yeah it's pretty...just like you."

"Hehe."

He let out a giggle melting my heart as I controlled the urge to bite those cute red cheeks of his. I pecked his head taking a whiff of the shampoo's smell in the process.

"I'll be downstairs."

He nodded and I backed away taking one last glance at him before walking downstairs to feed myself.

I entered the kitchen whistling and opened the refrigerator and my eyes enlarged in excitement looking at the chocolates in the rack.

I took them out placing them on the counter and opened a drawer grabbing a bowl.
