Ch 5. Make you Smile

17:00
Leon was applying ice packs to asleep Dom's ankle when Jin called.
No, everything is alright. Don't worry for now. But looks like i'll have to arrange us some exercise before we lose our touch.
....
No, i'm sorry, i can't make it today. Try to sneak in my proxy if some baby pgr is taking the attendance.
....
Ah yes, that i don't know yet. I'll call you later. Thanks.
....
Hmm. Bye.

"Bath's free Leo", Gramps called.
Alright, i'll go after wrapping things here.
"Want some coffee? "
Sure. And some boiled eggs if you would be so kind_
"Okay. "
"And some fries", Dom mumbled.
Haha, just sleep in for now. I'll make them myself after the shower.

21 : 30, lights out
Dom (sinking his head deeper into Leo's pecs) : Kepler is lighter than Saturn.
Leon : Yes, i'm awake.
Dom : .....
Leon : Kepler 51b, 51c, 51d revolve around sunny Kepler.
Dom : .....
Leon : Dominic is my cotton candy Kepler.
Dom : .....(Still silent)
Leon : Fine, i can wait till you actually feel like talking.
Dom : I'm sorry.
Leon : And_
D : You should stop working out. Tushy chan is roasted.
Leo flinched and embraced Dom tightly for a moment. Then he sat up and started gently caressing his little brat's battered body everywhere.
D : It's fine. Lie down. I'm okay. Oww.. ...I'm really alright...hah it tickles..stop it.. haha... knock it off Leo,,,eeeek... Grandpaaa earth is falling into pieces...ouf... Uam_ ah, ouch... aahow...mm...
L : We have both been hurt by each other  so_
D (interrupting Leo) : we're not even... (coughing) ...i ain't forgiving yet (gasping, clenching his own shirt, shivering)
L (pouring him warm water) : Take it easy little man. The fall earlier has left quite a few flashy beauty marks. Don't push it sunny boy.
_

D : Why do you all have to get physical so suddenly, Dominica flag has a sisserou parrot, i can't help being squeaky.
L : Dominican Republic has a book in the coat of arms. Why don't you just study instead of getting into petty brawls.
_

L : Dom i can't help if you won't let me.
D : Roberts used to order around a bunch of monkeys at our last school.
L : The self-proclaimed legion of enigmas_
D : Ah yes, you have a scary good memory Leon. Anyway, as i was saying i was the lowest of the low in the command chain unfortunately.
L : You were the monkey shit in other words.
D : Oh, that's harsh but something like that yes.
L : hm, explains why you were always getting injured.
D : Meh. Roberts was a loser who saw every other loser on the planet as a potential opponent and beat their boys. But if stronger ones would come to settle the score later, he was bound to get thrashed so the carpet chain absorbed the dust.
L : So you were one of the doormats who got stepped on. And only now are you telling me this. Well thanks for the info, think i'll have to bug your uniform to keep an eye on my little brother tsk tsk.
D : Also ate my lunch, also took my money, also snatched my homework, just in case you want to know more.
L : _
D : What?
L : I'm sorry (sigh)  i am sorry damn it.
D : Huh? What for? You had to study and look after the house. Plus grandpa was really sick at the time. Yaa Jagiya~ stop blaming yourself for every little thing that happens on the planet. Your masochistic tendencies are showing now that you have landed miss_ oh what was her name again ^^
L : __   Tomiko_
D : Oi, you're wandering off into space again.
L : Yes, a lot of stuff just went through my mind.
D : Calm down. Roberts isn't a big deal now you see. His **** suckin underlings have been left behind and his Majestic life is all shaken. He's not much of a threat anymore.
L : He won't remain any threat anymore after i am done with him.
D : Haha like your creepy nerds could kill a bug.
L : ....
D : N_No Leo. This is dangerous. His father_
L : should be grateful if i let his son live. We'll see.
D : Phew. Don't do anything too reckless that turns you into a patient before you're a doctor.
L : We're already there. I am doctor enough to treat Roberts thoroughly.
Dom stared at Leon until they both
burst out laughing. Gramps called out to them from the other side of the wall.
"I just had to attend washroom grandpa. It's nothing. Good night Jiji", Dom replied loudly.
L : Come here child~
D : No, obviously not.
L : You're in no shape to move on your own.
D : I am a grown up, i can very well tend to my private matters myself good Sir. Now if you would please excuse m_ .....wahhh put me down Leon.
L : Shut up. You're waking Grandpa up again.
D (whispering) : What do you think you're doing. You're not the boss of me. I_
L : Dominic Jade Kai, You're going to have an operation tomorrow. You'll be non-motile like Coralline algae attached to stone so better accept your fate for what's to come.
Princess (covering his face with both hands) : Ugh, I hate my life.
L (giggling) : Well whatever happens, happens.
D : "By the by, i thought nerds could only ever look tough on the outside." Leon kept cracking up at his brother's misconception for quite a while, "You've still got lots more to learn my little man XD. "
