Knights In Nightmares

Smash Bros and Bicycles

Oh come on guys! There's got to be more people reading this book. Ugh oh well if you are you should vote for which guy you want to be Leo *nudge nudge*
Ok now back to the story......
-----------------*---------------------*------------------
Oh cruel world! Why do you hate me so?
I ended up losing Leo's little game. Now, with the week passed, i had to go to his place. Dad wasn't too happy that i was leaving for a few hours, let alone making friends. I guess he's scared his little secret will get out.

Wait....did i just call Leo my friend? No no no no no......no it couldn't be....HOW DID I LET THIS HAPPEN?!

I sigh at my revelation.

Maybe if i keep being cold towards him he'll eventually leave me alone? Na. Leo's too clingy. And stubborn. At least from what i can tell.

My phone buzzes as i finish pulling my shirt over my thin torso.

Leo- hurry up already! I'm outside.

Me- im coming. Calm yourself

I walk out of my room and slide down the winding rail to the front door, ignoring the yells from Penny(our live-in maid).

"Bye Penny!" I said through her ranting.
--------------------*--------------------*----------------
"Yes!" Leo fist pumps in victory. We had been battling it out on smash bros for about 3 hours now. And, sadly, i had lost every match. Yep, my ego took a big hit today.
"Ughhhhh" i sink into the couch and wallow in defeat. I would get him back somehow......just not at smash bros.
"Let's do something else." Leo says as a smirk crept is way on to his face." I can see you're getting tired of losing."

Oh he's asking for it.

I punch him right in the arm and watch him hold it in pain. "What the crap Jase!" He practically yells me.

I snicker and move away, from him as he tries to punch me back. "Ha! You missed!" Leo gets up and looks me straight in the eyes. His face suddenly turns emotionless as he slowly steps toward me. Leo gets right in front of me and leans down so his mouth is next to my ear, making me shudder slightly at our close proximity.
"For your sake, i hope you aren't very ticklish."
My eyes widen and try to back away but before i know it, Leo already has me tackled to the ground.
"Ah!..... N-no!.....Leo s-stop! Ahhhhhh!..." i breath out my words between my laughter.

Ahhhhhhhh! Damn why is he so good at tickling?!

Leo pins my arms to the floor, still sitting on me from the tackle. "Are you going to apologise yet?"

"Yes!" I say through heavy breaths "now get off me! "

"Not until you say it. "

"You are acting so childish! Ugh. Fine! I'm sorry ok?"

His face contimplates my answer for a second. "Ok." And with that he stands up and offers me his hand. I decide to take it and haul myself off the floor.

"So what are we doing now?" I ask. Waiting for his answer, i wander around his apartment. I honestly think it's weird he's living by himself. He's a high schooler and of legal age to do so (18), but still. Why?

"We couuuulllld......ummm....."

"Seriously? You drag me over here, kill my sense of pride, and find out that I'm ticklish, and you have nothing else we could do?"

Leo just shrugs to this. "I have a couple of bikes in the garage."

Oh no. Not bikes. Ugh pride, your funeral will be held unexpectedly today. I'm truly sorry. IT'S BEEN A GOOD LIFE!

"Heeeeyyyyy! Jase are you in there? " Leo snaps me out of my mental freak-out. "There she is! What's wrong? You MAJORLY zoned out when i mentioned the bikes. It's only a little ride. What are you afraid of? "

I sign at his questions. "Look. Icantridebikesok?"

"Umm...sorry. I didn't catch that. Mind repeating it?"

"I cant ride a bike ok?!"

Leo flinched at my sudden reaction.
"Oh. Well then ill teach you."

Huh?

"What are you crazy? Those are dangerous! How do i know you won't let me fall or something? "

Leo takes my hands in his and looks me in the eyes. "I promise i won't let you fall Jase." His expression is deadly serious.

"O-ok." My cheeks heat up more and more every second we are in this position.

What is this feeling? WHY ARE MY CHEEKS HEATING UP?! I can't like him!..............can i?

"Great. Now let's go!"

Leo led me to his garage, still holding on to one of my hands.
"Alright. I'm going to show you how to get on the bike. Then ill get off and help you onto yours. "

"Ok. "

"So. Step one: sit. All you have to do is lift your leg and put it on the other side of the bike, sitting on the seat. You shouldn't fall when you sit cause your toes will be touching the floor. " He gets on the bike effortlessly, then gets off and walks to the other one. "Now you try. " Leo holds out his hand to give me support, which i gladly take cause i don't want to fall on my ass.

I then do as he says and put one leg over to the other side, sitting on the seat.

He was right! Ok...ok i got this. I can do this.

"That's awsome! " Leo talks smoothly and calmly. "Now would you mind letting go of my hand? "

Crap.

"Oh um....yeah sorry." I let go of his hand.

Great going stupid.

In the most of me mentally face palming, Leo moves past me and opens the garage, revealing the
cul-de-sac type place we arrived in. Then he runs back to me and puts his hands on my waist. I gasp at this and look at him through wide eyes.

"Im not going to try anything weird i promise. I just don't have training wheels on these so i need to hold you so you won't fall. " he chuckles lightly at my blushing. "Ok. Put your hands on the handlebars. Only the pros can ride with no hands. Now you put both feet on the pedals, and push."

I do as he says and suddenly start moving forward.

"Im doing it! " I laugh out my words nervously.

"Yeah you're doing great Jase! Ok. Now to stop you just squeeze the handlebars."

I do as he says, resulting in him catching me as i fall off the stupid bike.

"Woah woah. Not so fast there. You could get hurt. " Leo says looking down at me in his arms. My heart starts beating faster as i realize or current position -once again- and i try to control my blush.

Wait a second.......

"Ow! Jase why the hell did you punch me?!" He yells at me as i look at him with the scariest glare i can muster.

"You said you wouldn't let me fall! "

"I didn't!"

"Oh yeah? Well what do you call this?" I gesture to the way he is holding me in his arms.

"Look. I didn't let you fall. I caught you. That's what I'm here for." Leo tightens his grip on me protectively as he says this. "I won't let you get hurt. "

I look him straight in the eyes, my cheeks slightly heating up again. "Promise? "

"I promise. "

I hug him tightly and breath a thank you into his chest.

His head rests on top of mine after being a bit shocked. "No problem J."

Wow. Ive Only known him for a week or so and he's already gotten closer to me then any other person in the world. He even nicknamed me.....J.....i like it. I wonder what this will turn into. You know, with the whole dad thing. Will he be able to break down my walls? If that does happen....will he help me? Or leave me?
