A/n hello my lovelies! Thoughts on the double update? This chapter will be smaller than my normal ones, because it's just going to be about Jordan learning how to use knives with Leo. So just a minor filler chapter filled with sarcasm and amusement, and knives, lots of knives.

Enjoy!

Jordan Maston POV

"Are you fucking serious Leo?" I ask annoyed.

"Yes, I am serious...now this part is-"

"I know the pointy end is sharp! I also know that's the part I'm about to stab you in the eye with if you keep talking!" I yell at him. I got back with Marco from the sniper lesson with his brothers about 40 minutes ago and Leo started his 'Knife lesson' however, for the past 40 minutes he's been going on about the 'parts of a knife' like I was a child.

There's only two, the stabby part and the holding part! Jesus, its not bloody rocket science...

"I'm trying to help Jords, you need to know this stuff." he states angrily.

"I know what a knife is, what I need to learn is how to - I don't know - throw it? steal one out of someone's hand? Leo, we've been - or rather I've been - dealing with your condescending 'parts of a knife' lesson for the past 40 minutes. I know the Pointy End Is sharp, but we don't have much time left before I have to train with Miles and we've got to help Derek bug the warehouse. So can you please teach me how to use it and I don't know, steal it out of someone's hands?" I ask with a sigh.

"alright fine" he huffs. He looks towards the stairs that lead out of the basement and called out. "Jace?! I need your help!" he calls out. A few minutes later Jace comes jogging down the stairs. "what's up?" he asks sparing a glance at me, who in all my glory had had enough of Leo's knife lessons. "you need to help me teach Jordan some self defence moves and then we can move on to knives." he states. Jace nods at him. "right, so what do you want me to teach?" Jace asks him.

"I don't care, I'll be back in twenty minutes, to teach about the knives. You do whatever." Leo states annoyingly and makes his way up the stairs.

"dear God. I don't know how much longer I could have dealt with that." I groan.

"he did the whole 'the Pointy End Is sharp thing' didn't he?" he asks.

"I felt like I was a child..." I sigh.

"alright stand up and let's see what we can teach you in twenty minutes."

I stood up and walked toward him. "alright, seeing you're shorter it would probably work better if you use your body weight rather than just your fists" I nod. "Alright, well, in all honesty, we should start with if you are caught, so when we were in your apartment and I was holding you in place with your wrist, I can teach you how to get out of that?" he asks. I nod. "Sounds good." Jace walks towards me and grabs my wrist and pulls it around my back and pulled me into his chest. "Alright so, the easiest way for you to get out is to make me lose my balance, so if you flick your head back I would most likely stumble and you can hook your foot around my ankle and knock me down." he says and I nod. "Right." I flick my head back and it makes contact with his face, I then hooked my ankle around his and pushed backwards, I felt his grip loosen and I  slipped my wrist out of his grasp as he collided with the floor. I turned around to see him propped up on his elbows with a smile on his face. "Yes, just like that." he chuckles. I offer my hand and he takes it. I pull him up with a smile. "Right, what's next?" I ask.

-----25 minutes later-----

Jace sprints towards me with his arm outstretched to grab me, I duck under his arm and grabbed it and twisted it behind his back, he grunts at the sudden position. I hold his arm there as his other comes around and snakes around the other side of me and grabs the waistband of my pants and pulls it, causing me to lose my grip on his arm as I tumbled to the floor. I grunt as he grabbed my elbows and pulled me into him. With all my strength I stomped on his foot, before yanking one of my arms from his grip, I pivoted on my left foot and spun around and hooked my arm around his neck and pulled my other arm out of his grasp and jumped on his back and wrapped my other arm around his neck and my legs around his waist.

"Jesus." I looked up to see Miles, Marco and Leo standing at the base of the stairs. My momentary relapse of attention, was the opening Jace needed, he somehow slipped his arms in between mine and his neck and pushed them apart. I grunted at his strength and unwrapped my legs from his waist. I landed on the floor with a soft thud, before I had a chance to react Jace grabbed my arm and pulled it behind me, I threw my head back and it made contact with his face, I hooked my foot behind his ankle and with my free arm I elbowed him in the stomach, he grunted at the impact as I slipped my foot further around and shoved him back with all my strength. He fell to the ground again as I leaned over panting. I looked to Jace who was being helped up by Marco. I continued to catch my breath as I felt two hands snake around my waist and dragged me into them. "Y-you're lucky I know that's you My- otherwise, I'm sure you'd end up on your ass..." I laugh as I straighten up and Miles kisses the side of my head. "I have no doubt." he chuckles. "Alright, Jordan, now we get onto the Knives-" Leo states. "Okay." I say tiredly. Miles removes his arms from my waist and kisses me on the side of the head again. "You've got about half an hour and then we're having dinner, and then we're going out to bug the warehouse, tomorrow I'll teach you to shoot, not that you seem to need that much help, Marco says." Miles chuckles. "Okay." I say with a smile. Marco, Jace and Miles walked back up the stairs.

I looked to Leo who was pulling off a series of knives off the wall and placing them on the table. I walked over the looked at them and then averted my gaze to Leo.

"Alright, lets start." he stated less annoyed than before.

-----30 minutes later-----

"Nice shot Jords." Leo state patting my shoulder. 

"Thanks."

"Guys! Dinner!" we hear Marco's yelling muffled from upstairs.

I started walking towards the stairs. "Jordan, I got you something." I turned around to face him as he handed me a small leather pouch with straps.

"what's this?" I ask.

He chuckles at me. "open it."

I opened the small pouch.

"Leo it's fucking awesome!" I exclaimed as I saw the marbled rainbow knife slide out of the sheath

"I'm glad you like it, those straps also can attach to your thigh."he laughs

"common let's get dinner before we head off to the warehouse." he adds.

We begin making our way up the stairs. "oh, and be careful, the Pointy End Is sharp." he snickers before bolting out of the basement door. I shook my head in amusement as I made it through the door.

A/n hello my lovelies! Thoughts on the last chapter? And this one? Like I said, it was shorter than the others and not as important.
