Twisted-Wonderland: Our Precious Treasure (Part 1)

(73) B&G: I Can See You Comin'!

It was always a surprise when the Leona Kingscholar was awake during the class. The teacher had given up at this point. So imagine the level of shock when not only he was awake class, but actually paying attention, like actually bringing his book, writing and answering questions without sounding annoyed. It was certainly a sight to see. Once class was over, Leona gathered his book quickly and slung his book-bag over his shoulders. Some eyes were still on him which was annoying. He stood up from his seat and quickly walked out of the class.

"Oh, Roi du Léon~" Leona stopped his track. He held back a groaned as he turned around to see Rook walked toward him with that usual predator smile of his. "Leaving so soon?"

"Don't you have anywhere else to go, Rook?"

"Mon Dieu, don't be so hard," Rook tilted his head to the side as he smiled. "It's wonderful to see you back in class again."

Leona rolled his eyes. "Yeah. Whatever." He was about to walk out before he stopped. Glancing back, he was Rook was still standing there, albeit slightly confused. Leona looked forward again, tail swishing unsure.

Then, he muttered. "Thanks for asking."

He was already walking away before he could hear Rook's response.

"Taking a nap again?"

Opening his eyes, grumbling when a familiar eye-patch-wearing face appeared in his vision. Jonah was raising an eyebrow at him but he meant no harm. "You're blocking the sun, Pirate Boy."

"I'm no longer the 'Pirate Scum' apperantly." Jonah stepped back but then decided to sit next to him. Leona turned his body, his back facing Jonah's side. The said pirate boy sat on the grass as he opened the lunchbox he brought with him.

"How's your first day back in class?" he asked.

Leona hummed. "Uneventful."

"Homework?"

"I'll do it on the due day."

"Why?"

"I already know the answers. I can finish it during breakfast."

Jonah rolled his eyes, but he was also smiling. No annoyance or ill-will behind it. "I guess changes happen slowly, huh?"

Leona chuckles. "Don't expect me to suddenly become a star student overnight."

"That would be a surprise. But take your time." He offered the lunchbox to Leona. "Spring roll?"

Leona turned his head slightly. The spring roll does look good- wait. His nose scrunched up. Those are vegetable spring rolls. Turning back again, he said, "No."

Jonah shrugged as if saying 'more for me then'. He ate in silence, with the only sound came from Leona's breathing and the birds chirping above. The sunlight shone through the glass dome but neither of them felt too hot. There were enough plants to shade them from the warm heat.

Jonah let out a sigh as he brought his knees closer to his chest. "I have to admit: this is a nice spot for a nap."

Leona hummed in agreement. "Been here since freshmen-year. Why move when this place is perfect?"

"Why do you nap so much?"

"You have a problem?" When he received no answer, Leona sighed as he slowly opened his eyes. "It's just relaxing. Isn't it nice just to be in your own little corner without anyone to judge you? Naps calm my mind and control my own emotions."

Jonah turned his head slightly toward him. "You're still grouchy though."

"Everyone is grouchy after their naps."
