Two Of A Kind

Tessa's POV

We are all sitting in the front row, waiting nervously for the match to begin. 

"Alright everyone!" A voice boomed through the speakers, all chatters die down, trying to listen in.

"Todays match is gonna be a tough one, let's welcome The Eagle" He says enthusiastically. A mixture of roars and clapping ripple through the crowds. Entering from the main door, a 6'5 blonde walks out, a scar through his eyelid. He's jumping up and down, implying for the crowd to go crazier.

"And our 2 time winner, give it up for Achlys!" The host cheers, well we all know who he's going for. The crowd is 2x louder than before, roars, hoots, chants, and clapping all around. Through the other door, Leonidas walks out, his hair wet, bare chested. He puts on a plain facial expression, bumping his fists together. 

As they get into the ring, I see Leo give the other guy a cocky smirk. The Eagle grits his teeth in annoyance. The ref comes in between them and holds his hands out.

"Round 1" The ref says before moving out of the way. 

The Eagle going in for a right hook but Leo blocked it, grabbing the same arm and kneeing his chest. The Eagle takes a few steps from the blow, before putting on a murderous look. He goes back to Leo and left hooks him, clear in the face. Leo seems shocked, taking a few steps back but he recovered quickly, sending two punches to his face. The Eagle seems to be angrier than before, if that's even possible. He sends a kick right to Leo's knee, causing him to stumble down. He gets on top and hits him repeatedly, 5 blows to the face. At this point, Leo's spitting up blood.

Come on Leo.

"Get your ass up Leo!" Carter yells, using his hands to project his voice. Suddenly, Leo's facial expression changes to anger. He pushes The Eagle off of him, sending him on his back. He gets up from the push quickly, but Leo grabs his wrist and slightly twists it, causing The Eagle to scream out in pain, echoing through the place. Leo kicks him in the groin, before punching him in the face 3 times, followed by a head choke. The Eagles facial expressions disappear, causing Leo to drop him flat on the floor.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, our winner Achlys!" The host chants through the mic, everyone jumping up and around, celebrating. The host gets on the ring, grabbing Leo's hand and showing it to everyone, pleased with the results. Leo punches his chest and says a couple of incoherent words.

"That's my fucking boy" Beau yells, mixing along with Aidens cheers. After a few more minutes, Leo jumps out of the ring and is met with a group of girls that seem to be flirting with him. Twisting their hair around and batting their eyelashes. 

Typical needy girls.

Leo doesn't try to hide the fact that he wants to leave. His face expressionless, he walks away from them and over to us. A face towel around his neck, sweat covering his body. When he's close enough, I can properly see the damage he copped. A busted lip and small bruises around his face.

"Light fucking work bro" Carter hypes, pulling Leo into a bro hug. He pats his back in return, sending a curt nod his way.

"Just another step closer to a 3 time champ bro" Adrian states, receiving another bro hug from Leo. Eventually, he steps over to me, standing in front of me. I look up and examine his face properly.

"Let me aid you" I say worried, looking into his tired eyes. He raises a brow before continuing,

"I'm fine" He assures, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. I step back in hopes he'll listen to me.

"Please" I plead, my voice soft changing a look in his eyes. He looks at me for a moment, before nodding his head.

"Only you amore" He takes my hand in his and leads my past a couple of rooms. Finally opening a door, I see that it's a small room with a desk, tv, couch and mini fridge. Admiring the cleanliness of it,

"What room is this?" I ask curiously, embedding every object into my mind. He looks and me and chuckles,

"It's my office amore" He explains, going over to the desk and opening a draw. He pulls out the first-aid kit and takes it to the couch, taking a seat. I sit beside him and he hands me the box, keeping his eyes close to rest it. I take it out of his grip and unzip it, grabbing all the essentials I may need.

I pull out a wipe and clean the sweat off his face, to see what I'm really working with. I then grab another wipe and brush it along his lips, cleaning up the dried blood. 

His lips are so full. They are turning purple, a clear sign that it's bruised. But they're so plump.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I realise I've been brushing over the same stop 7 times, a smirk growing on Leo's face.

"Mi amore, If you want my lips just say that, it's yours"  His smirk growing wider by the end of his comments. I roll my eyes and try to play it off,

"I was looking at the bruise dumbass" I scoff, moving over to his bleeding eyebrow. He gives me the 'sure you were' look before closing his eyes again. I can feel redness arising in my cheeks, thank fuck he has his eyes closed.

I brush the wipe over his eyebrow, seeing the wide scratch that dug into his skin. 

"Let me know if it hurts" I say, carefully wiping around the area. He nods his head, causing me to accidentally stick the wipe in his scratch. He hisses subtly and opens his eyes.

"I'm sorry" I say nervously, when the fuck am I nervous.

He runs his hands through my hair swiftly, admiring its waves. Sparks flying through my body at the contact.

"Don't apologise, never apologise" He almost pleads, moving his hands away from my hair to cup my face. I can't seem to speak so I just nod, lost in his eyes.

"Words amore" He warns, taking a quick peek at my lips. I gulp at his actions,

"Okay" I manage to whisper softly.

Really bitch, okay?! That's all?!

He nods his head before letting go, we both get up and head towards the door. He snakes an arm around my waist, causing me to spin around and face him. 

"Thank you belissima" He says sincerely, and that did something to me.

I jumped into his arms as he quickly put his arms under the back of my thighs. I hug my legs around his waist, my arms around his shoulders. He looks shocked, before quickly changing his wide mouth to a tight smirk. He grips the side of my waist and walks out the door.

I need to stop this. Love doesn't exist. Not for me anyways.
