What is going on with me I barely know this man who is checking my neck out, I keep fucking blushing every time he speaks even when he touches me. A soft sigh escaped my lips Gods, something is definitely wrong with me. After Hajime was done putting the medicine around my neck I glanced passed him to see Leon sitting on the edge of the bed.

I walked passed Hajime, around the bed to the left side where the eldest son was sitting with his left elbow on his leg and his hand covering his face.

"Leon...are you ok?" I softly asked feeling concerned for this man in front of me. I raised my hand to put it on his shoulder but I pulled it back at the last second, instead Leon wrapped his arm around my lower back resting his hand on my hip which pulled a soft surprise gasp out of me and a blush to my cheeks.

"Are we...am I doing the right thing?" Leon asked with an irritated sigh.

A confused look came to my face features. "What do you..." My own question was interrupted with Leon laying his head on my thin stomach which made my body stiffen for a moment.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." He sighed.

With that answer I let out a soft sigh of my own and laid my hand on the top of his head. We stayed like that for a moment until a sound of someone clearing their throat came from the direction of the closed door but now open. All three of us shot our heads towards the door noticing Juniper standing there.

"Am I interrupting something?" Jun asked a little amused.

The blush that was still on my cheeks deepened. "Oh, ahh...no no you wasn't."

Hearing the slight discomfort in my voice Leon let me go which made me instinctively look down. "What's going on Jun? You needed something?" I curiously asked.

Jun nodded her head. "Yes, I needed to talk to you for a moment.

"Oh ok." I let my hand drop to Leon's shoulder and walked away. Then walked up to Jun and she led me out of the room closing the door behind us leaving the two men to their thoughts.

Meanwhile in the guest room the men were silent. Hajime leaning against the furthest wall with his arms crossed over his chest and Leon still sitting in the same spot he was in.

Hajime shook his head. "Leon what's going on with you? Something's occupying your mind and its bothering you."

"Its nothing Hajime." Leon spoke.

Feeling irritated now. "Don't give me that 'its nothing' crap Leon. I've been your right hand man since we were kids so I know when something is wrong and something is definitely wrong." He stopped for a second. "So tell me what's going on with you?"

Leon sighed and glanced down at the hand that was wrapped around my back just moments ago. He was silent for a little bit.

"What? Is it your father or is it...Ares?" Hajime guessed.

When my name was spoken something was pulled in the human male, which forced him to speak. "Yes and yes on both accounts." Leon sighed.

An hour past until I barged through the bedroom door in a silken cream colored night gown, it flowed all the way down to the floor, wrapped around my body like it was made for me and exposed some cleavage, it also had spaghetti straps.

Both the men stared at me blinking a couple of times while I stood there with a worried expression on my face. No one broke any part of the silence with any kind of question or anything. When I started to walk into the room Leon stood up, watching me go over to the cracked opened window then sat back down. When I stood in front of the window I pulled it open to let a soft gust of wind in.
