The Lord Has Returned

Chapter 23 - The Games

I zoned out picking at my food, Leo was astonishing. Generally, one of the smartest of the seven but people like to portray him as the dumb one. I am glad that Leo is part of our team, we need some hope right about now. At least we have a way to keep them here as a healer tries to bring them back. Magnus or Will, either of them could heal them. Keeps them in their bodies until the healer and fully bring them back. I racked my brain for every possibility.

I was snapped back to reality with someone kissing my shoulder. I looked up to see Will smiling, "Hey sunshine." I greeted him. He leaned down to kiss my cheek but I turned my head to kiss him on the lips.

He laughed and sat next to me, "Hey darling, how's your morning?"

"So far?" he nodded, "Well, I was wondering if I could hang out with Leo for a while."

"Why are you asking for permission?"

I shrugged, "I forget things easily so, If I had already planned something with you I don't want to miss it."

"Don't worry, we didn't plan anything. Although you do have to eat all your food."

I pouted, "But-"

"No buts Mister, eat."

I grumbled, "Fine, but only cause I love you."

He grinned and grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it. "I love you too." I ate the pancakes he put in front of me. He still held on to my hand, I drank my orange juice and let out a burp. I laughed, " 'Scuse me." 

"Ready love?" he asked standing up.

"Of course sunshine." I stood up as well and shadow traveled to my classroom. He stumbled and grabbed the wall, letting go of my hand.

"I was not expecting that."

I shrugged, "I had a class to teach, I'm not really feeling it, maybe I should cancel."

"Why would you cancel it, you have to teach today."

"But why?" I whined. 

"You have to because I said so."

"What's in it for me?"

He smirked and walked closer to me, I took a step backward every time he took a step forward. My back hit the wall and I looked up at Will. He leaned forward and grabbed my hands, he raised them above my head, he held them up there. I was red as he leaned forward, he kissed my neck softly. He pulled away and smirked, "You get more," he grazed my lips with his, "of this."

I groaned as he let me go, "You're such a tease."

"Well, I won't be if you do your job."

"But I'm not even being paid," I whined.

"They might not be paying you, but I am," he said with a smirk and walking out the door.

I stood stunned for a moment, I racked my brain for today's date, is it someone's birthday? Is it my birthday? It's not Will's, I- I have some uncovering I need to do. I shake off my surprise and walk out of my office door. I saw the kids stare at me and I turned around and walked back into the office. I wanted to make a Gay Suprise Entrance, if I may.

I made the shadows make me seem as if I was downstairs lounging on the chair the entire time. "Now, Nico will be down, and when he is he'll show us exactly what we need to know."

I looked around the room to see Angelos looking quite amused at Wills's theatrics. "What  if he doesn't, does that mean we could leave?" Raisin asked.

"No Ras- Ronald, that does not mean you can leave. If he doesn't show up then as Doctor I will take his place and teach you how not to die in the midst of dying."
