Violent Delights (Johnny Slaughter x Leland McKinney)

Chapter Two.

Leland could feel the grogginess in his head as he slowly started to come to, and there was a slight pain behind his eyes - as he tried to open them. His whole body was starting to feel a bit off as he blinked his eyes open, and it's been a long time since he's fainted before - so the feeling felt almost new to him. It was safe to say he wasn't the biggest fan of it, and he let out a small groaning noise as he was finally beginning to wake up properly. The vision in front of him was still a bit blurry and the light from the ceiling was glaring directly into his eyes.

There were two figures hovering over top of him, and he had to bring his hand up to try and cover his eyes. The light soon became a bit too much for him, and it was making it even harder for Leland to make out who was above him. It's only when he blinked his eyes a couple more times, rubbing at them with his eyes - and letting out one more noise of discomfort - that his vision was slowly allowing him to see the figures properly.

The first one was his teacher, a worried look stretched across her face - as she was saying words that he couldn't make out. The second one was Johnny , and the second his mind came to as well - he could already feel his heartbeat picking back up. The panic was starting to set inside of him, and Leland thought for a split second that this man might kill him. Sure he hasn't done anything to warrant an extreme action like that - but to be fair, he's like ninety percent sure Johnny was a killer.

"Hey, are you okay?" It's Johnny who's speaking now, and he's crouched himself down low enough - so he can use one of his hands to touch at Leland's forehead, "You kind of just fainted there. Are you drinking enough water?"

Leland doesn't mean to be so obvious, but the second Johnny's hand had touched his skin - his body jolted on its own. He was able to catch the frown that crossed Johnny's face from it, and the other man removed his hand a little bit quickly. He's just glad the teacher didn't pick up on that interaction, instead she was leaning down as well - and slowly lifting Leland's head up for more comfort.

"My god Leland," His teacher says, worry laced in her voice, "I think we should get you to a nurse, are you okay?"

"Uhm," Leland tries to speak, his head starting to pound, "I think, I think I'm going to be okay."

"I'm not so sure," The teacher says again, using her hands to rub at his temples, "Johnny, do you think you could help Leland to the nurses office?"

"No," Leland speaks up before Johnny gets the chance to, attempting to move his body enough to sit up, "I mean, no thank you - I'm okay, seriously . I just haven't drunk enough water today, and after what happened my sleep was a little bit off. I'm okay now, I promise - I just need to get back to my dorm and rest."

"Leland," His teacher says, resting a hand on his back as he sits himself up properly, "Are you lying to me? Or are you seriously okay now? You took quite a fall."

"I'm serious Miss, I'm okay," Leland says, turning his head slowly to look at her - before giving her a small smile, "I appreciate the help, but I will be okay."

He goes to stand himself up, and he can feel his body stumbling a little bit from it. He feels a set of hands on his shoulders, trying to steady him as he stands himself up - and when he looks at who's doing it - he almost flinches again when he notices that it's Johnny. The man has a concerned look on his face as he looks at Leland, and Leland almost feels bad for the way his body is reacting. But he won't allow himself to think too much about that, because this person is a possible serial killer and Leland will be damned to feel bad over a person like that.

"Well, I don't want you walking back to your dorm alone," She says, standing herself up as well, "Let Johnny take you back, and on the way there I want you guys to set up a meeting plan. Leland, I really want you to take up this tutoring opportunity and I also want you to make sure you look after yourself. I can't have you fainting again, you nearly scared me half to death."
