BEGINNING OF IHS GENERAL STORYLINE

PART 6 FIRST / FIRST PART OF NAO & LEON STORY | PREVIOUS | NEXT

Story :

The trip was long, Damzelle was more and more impatient in the trailer and Nao felt a relief when he saw his destination at the end of the road. He left IHS the day before and the road has been really long. He went inside the way to the stables and parked the trailer, checked his mare and then headed to the main building. He didn't really have an appointment, but the clinic was supposed to begin the next day and the notification said that he could arrive a day before to land the horse, a thing he did. It was pretty late in the evening and he was really, really tired, so he didn’t take the time to read nor the details of the notification letter or the name on the doorbell. He just knew that he was in the correct place because the name of the stables sounded familiar and just wanted to let Dam here then go to his hotel to sleep. So, when he knocked on the front door, he hadn’t any idea of who he would meet there.

Leon groaned and stomped over to the door, his parents had decided to host a clinic for whatever reason, he didn't have the slightest idea, mostly local kids and a few riders from nearby countries wanted to pop in and have his mother and father's advice. Sorcha McAllistair-Winchester and Ellis Winchester were old souls of the equestrian world and their only child still riding, Leon Winchester, would be there as well.
"If you're here for the clinic your supposed to drop the horses off at the barn can't you read the signs?" Leon has opened the door before looking up, when he did, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Maybe Nao should have read the details on the letter. Maybe he should have at least read the name on it. Because when he waited for the door to open, he was looking around and so did not see who opened it. That’s only when he heard an annoyed voice telling him that he should have dropped the horse in the dedicated barn, he almost fell back. Leon ?!

“Wow, I didn’t see that coming… Hi Leon. I’m taking part of the clinic organized here. What a surprise, huh ?”
Nao made a little smile, as he doesn’t really know how to react. It’d be a lie to say that he didn’t think about Leon these past few weeks, but he hadn’t planned to meet him again this soon.
“To be clear, I registered myself at this clinic before I met you. So, I have to drop my horse over there…?” he asked, pointing in a direction with his chin.

"I-" Leon groaned " Yes horses can go over there..I'll show you." Leon sighed and grabbed his jacket nearby, He quickly helped Nao get Damzelle out of the trailer and motioned in the direction of the boarding barn, "You can put here in the guest barn this way." He had been fairly caught off guard when Nao popped up on his doorstep, "what happened to 'tell me if you were nearby'"
Leon wouldn't say he was angry at seeing him, he just didn't expect it in the slightest.

Nao leaded Damzelle to her stall and then turned back to Leon. At the question he asked him, Nao looked at him with an amused air.
“Did you miss me that much to reproach that to me ?”
He then launched a last look at his mare, who would be really good here. The stall was large, well covered with straw and the hay looked qualitative… She’d be good here. And turned himself again to front Leon.
“I would have sent you a text with my localisation and my hotel room number once I was there. I didn’t want to impose myself in your life if you had something already planned, so I did not warn you before being there.”
The rider gave a shy smile to Leon. That was the truth, because Nao knew that Leon was not really the kind of guy who accepts to be cornered like that.
“I’m sorry.”
He didn’t really know why he was apologizing, but he felt like he had to.

Leon couldn't believe his ears, when did this guy get so confident?? aside from that kiss in the Saddlery...and well never mind that, "Miss you?" Leon retorted, "More like YOU missed ME." he rolled his eyes in a slightly annoyed demeanor, "You can still let me know I don't go out much at night. even if I refused." Leon frowned, why was he upset about it? not like he was looking forward to their next meeting.
Leon breathed out sharply, "whatever You're horse will be fine here until tomorrow anyway, you can leave now." with that Leon began his walk away, a little flustered.

Even if Nao wasn’t smiling anymore before admitting that he wouldn’t let Leon know he was here before he arrived, the guy’s reaction made him upset. Like, really upset. That was not his kind to become angry like that for this kind of shitty things, but the tiredness he felt made him sensitive.
“‘Kay, got it, you are definitely not happy to see me there tonight. So, as you wish, I'm leaving right now.”
The tone of his voice was pretty cold and he started to walk away too. But he suddenly turned himself back at Leon and started to say in a loud voice.
“But you know what ? I’ll be honest with you : You’re right. I’ve kinda missed you. I was impatient to see you again. Way more than I thought. And if you had plans, I would have been really disappointed. Too bad for me.”
Then he started to walk away again, without any good night. Man, he was so angry to have been forced to kind of confess like that. To someone who doesn’t even seem interested in him. Yup, he was too tired to have a clear mind. Maybe everything will be easier the next day.

The redhead paused and glared back at the guy, this was exactly why he didn't date he always said something he didn't mean and drove them away. Maybe it was for the best, after all, this is how it usually went down and they'd just ghost each other afterward, However, when Nao admitted to missing him he grew guiltier, "Yeah well." Leon frowned, "Me too. maybe." he tacted the last word on quickly as a saving grace for his pride, he was surprised he missed Nao's company never feeling that way about anyone including his previous dates he was fairly independent and egotistical often working better alone, and yet he missed him, this new feeling was a blow to the wall he'd built up over the years.

When Leon admitted that he maybe missed Nao too, the IHS rider stopped and turned over to face Leon.
“You said ‘maybe’. Did you miss me for real ?”
The question could seemed stupid, but after Leon’s reaction, Nao wasn’t very confident about these words. He didn’t want to discover that Leon felt obliged to say that to him just for a kind of good harmony between them. Nao made a few steps to get closer to Leon.
“You know, I can understand if you don’t feel the same as me. You don’t have to push yourself to admit something if you don’t want to.”
His voice was softer than before as Nao soothed a bit and as he didn’t want to make things worse, but he had to clear this. He didn’t want to get sentimentally involved with someone who didn't even share something with him. He already did that before and was still really distrustful about it.

"Who said I didn't want to? If I didn't feel that way, why would I say it in the first place." Leon shot a glance and Nao and frowned a bit, he let out a frustrated sigh, "Look. this is why I don't date people, I get angry, they get angry, we go our separate ways alright?" Leon turned his back toward Nao, "It's not worth the effort, if you want to see me tonight text me your hotel and room number but otherwise-" otherwise...? Leon frowned at the ground feeling another wave of guilt wash over him, "I'm not pushing myself to admit anything I don't want to." he grumbled in a softer voice doing his best not to get frustrated again and spout off something he didn't mean, "I've never felt the need to miss anyone okay? consider yourself lucky or whatever."

Well, to be honest, Nao did not expect Leon to be so talkative. During all his speaking, he was looking at him with a surprised but pleased look.
“I consider myself as lucky, yeah, because I’m pretty sure that you never talked to anyone else like that before about this kind of thing.”
Nao came closer to Leon and took one of his hands.
“I’m not angry, you know. I was just tired and I think we misunderstood each other. That's a thing which happens when you like someone a little more than the others. And when people are dating, too. That’s not a big issue and discussion can help it. So, let’s do it again, OK ?”
He softly smiled at Leon, then released his hand and got a paper. He took a pen in his pocket and wrote a note with his hotel and his room number. He handed it to Leon.
“Here are my hotel’s name and my room number. Would you like to join me tonight ? For dinner too, if that’s not too late for you.”

"Dinner?" Leon glanced down at the paper, he knew the place, it was a nice hotel not too far from here near the city. Leon's mind raced with thoughts, this sounded like an actual date rather than what they had agreed to, did he even wanna go on a date with him? maybe...
Was he being lulled into a sense of security? no way...probably not...
Leon picked at his brain a little more before looking back at Nao, he'd taken everything he'd said to him in and scratched his neck, coincidentally where the faded mark was now, "Fine." he shoved the card into his pocket and turned, "I'll see you in a couple of hours."

Nao smiled at him and waved his hand. “Sure, I’m impatient to see ya”, made a last stroke on Damzelle’s neck who was just wondering what happened all this time and took his leave.

-A few hours later-

Nao felt better. Way better than a couple of hours before. After his unexpected reunion with Leon, he drove straight to his hotel and took a very long shower. Then, he took a quick nap and the time to get ready for his date - because that was clearly one - arrived. At the hour of their meeting, Nao was in front of the restaurant, patiently waiting for Leon to arrive. He was feeling… Nervous. Like really nervous. It’s been ages since he goes on a date and even more since he felt something like that for someone. He felt like he was a child doing his first day at school. Same kind of feelings. And when he sees Leon coming nearer, he feels his heartbeat become faster.
“Hi. How are you since a bit earlier ?”

"It's only been a couple of hours." Leon sighed, he promised himself he'd try to be nicer to Nao, He'd showered, gotten ready all in the first hours, and sat mulling over the date with the next he tried to put on the calm, cool, and collected Leon he pulled out for business, but internally he was nervous, so nervous.
"Never mind that, I was fine How were you?"
He didn't know what to say, not sure what to do, he hadn't been on a date in years, "Is this the place you wanted?" He'd heard of the restaurant before, but he'd never been.

Nao smiled at him. He could feel a kind of tension between them, but not the kind which makes people angry.
“I’m great, thank you. Nervous, I had to say.”
He decided, during his shower, to be way more open and clear about what he feels to Leon, ‘cause it seemed to unlock things and make them easiest for both of us.
“I had to say that I picked the first good-ranking restaurant I saw on the internet… I’m not really familiar with the city, so I thought this could have been a good way to choose. Have you ever been there before ?”
He launched a look at the menu.
“The meals seem great… And the ambiance seems not bad.”
Nao was talkative… To better hide his nervousness.

"Nervous eh?" Leon had to chuckle a bit at that, Nao seemed like he wanted to be more open with him, so Leon took his gloves off stuffing them into his jacket once again, "I was nervous too I guess." he hated to admit it but he was, "Annnnd no, I haven't been here before actually..." he looked at Nao and couldn't hide a sly smirk, "You really looked through all those places just to find a decently rated one?" he laughed, "Let's go then."

“Yeah, I have ! Don’t you dare judge me for that, I’m a real tourist here.”
Nao said with a faked outraged air. He smiled at Leon’s laugh and opened the door for him.
“Mr Winchester, if you please…”
And they enter the restaurant. The ambiance was as promised, cozy but not too private. A waiter comes to meet them and to welcome them and after a little exchange about the booking and all of the stuff around, he leads them to their table.
“Well”, said Nao while he sat. “That’s not as snobbish as it seems in the first place. So much the better, I was afraid to feel out of place.”
He looked at the menu again and looked at Leon. Nao was feeling so lucky at this moment.
“Would you like some wine ?”
In France, it was said that a good moment always begins with a good glass of wine.

“I don’t mind fancy restaurants though I do prefer a suit over a jacket and some old trousers.” Leon took his seat and got a good look at Nao, he had to admit he still looked as good as he did in France, “Wine, uh..” Leon glanced at the menu, “Sure.” he figured they were going to the hotel afterward anyway. why not? Leon lifted his gaze to the man that sat across from him again smiling to himself, Nao looked happy, atleast Leon thought so and for a second he was pleased to see it. Soon he shook his head to collect his thoughts again, don’t think about that kinda thing. when he decides to run for the hills it will hurt worse. right.

“I’ll get the same thing as you, i’m not picky.”

“Fine, I’ll start with a glass of sweet white wine for the aperitif, we’ll see after which bottle we take, ‘cause that’ll depend on the courses. I’ve picked mine, that’ll be a piece of the butcher of the day, take your time to chose yours.”
Nao put the menu down and launched a stare at Leon. God, he was lucky, because the man in front of him was handsome. If he had believed that some weeks prior this guy would make him act like he never did before just because he appreciates him, he wouldn’t have believed it. Yeah, for now, Nao was pretty sure that was only because they appreciated each other. Nothing more, right ? He couldn’t fall in love with someone who was just around for a few months. That would be really stupid, isn’t it ?
“Take what you want, it’s my treat. For all the evening.”

"uh..I'll just have the same thing." He stared at it, to be honest, he was far too lost in his thoughts again to think about the menu page before him, he rested an arm on the table, then his chin on his hand, and looked over at Nao again, " So, is this a date or are you considering it a friendly dinner?" though he teased he was curious on the other man's perspective, and for his own clarification, Leon was too afraid to call this a 'date' himself in fear he'd jinx it and things, as usual, would go terribly.

At Leon’s question, Nao frozed a second. Was he serious ? Wasn’t that obvious ? Then he remembered who he had in front of him.The kind of guy who was too obstinate to say that he had missed him. Sooo, was it so strange to know that he asked himself if that was a date ? Definitely not.
“Yes, that’s totally a date, unless you consider our previous night together as a friendly activity only.”
Nao gave Leon a slight smile. Yep, he decided to assume that they were now dating, not only having fun as friends. This part of the deal was already outdated since they decided to see each other again, after all.
“Why ? Is that a problem if I wanted to make it a real date ?”

Leon was taken aback he didn't expect him to call it a date, "well...I would just say you're brave." now he was flustered, the red of his cheeks was especially highlighted under the lights in the restaurant, he made a faint attempt to hide behind the menu, "Then if this is what you call a date we should learn more about each other right?"

“Brave to call it a date ? Or brave to have the audacity to date you ?”
In Nao’s mind, he knew that was for both reasons, but it was so easy to tease this guy and even if Nao hasn’t the habit to be the confident one, it seemed to him that Leon needed Nao to act like that to open himself a bit more. He leaned on the table, arms crossed, making him closer.
“Great idea. What do you want to know ‘bout me ? Just ask anything, I’ll answer. Or did you want me to ask you something first ?”
He then took his glass of wine that a waiter just filled and drank a little swallow. He’d certainly need some alcohol help for the rest of the conversation.

“Both.” Leon responded to the first question curtly, he had to think on the second one, what did he WANT to know? he’d never really cared much to know anything about anyone before this so…
“How many dates have you been on? i suppose.”

Leon was curious to see how much experience this guy had in the dating field, was he a casanova or a first timer?

Nao made a grin to the both. Yep, he may be brave, or a fool, but it was pleasant, so whatever. The question asked by Leon surprised Nao. In all the things he could possibly asked him, he choose to ask him how many dates he had. Interesting.
"That's the second one. And the first one is not what I call a good experience."
He took another swallow, a thing which betrayed his evident tension. It was not an easy exercise.
"You ?"

Not a good experience? was the guy a jerk like he was? or the lady...
"This is my third..or fourth can't remember maybe...probably...more" he shrugged Leon had been on many dates, had relationships with 2 men, all ran off or failed in the end, "They didn't last. I ran them off." he glanced at him, with a slightly daring look, "Surprised you haven't already actually." he finally picked up his glass for the first time and swirled it trying to keep his hands busy for the moment.
"Anything for me?"

Wow. Nao felt a bit stupid when he realized that Leon had way more dates than him. To be honest, Nao flirted with many more people but nothing ended in a date. He had more one night stands than dates. Ridiculous, isn't it ? The boy who never had a bond…
"Well, sad for them. But why did you ran them off ? And why am I still here ?"
Nao drank one more drop.
"If that's too private, you can just tell me what are your hobbies. I want to know this kind of basic things too."

"Dunno, maybe they aren't as stubborn as you are?" Leon teased and sipped his wine, "I don't have many hobbies, to be honest." he looked up from his drink, "I used to play the violin, I haven't touched one in years...I'm fluent in Japanese and Irish or rather Gaelic. thanks to my Mother." he mumbled lost in thought, "I ride horses but you already know that otherwise I usually train my students and call it a day." he dismissed the question he couldn't help but think he was rather boring, "What do you do besides ride horses and make your boss's business partners sleep with you?" he asked, a playful tone in his voice, he was actually having fun being in the company of someone else, that didn't happen often.

“Heh, maybe, yes. I’m not really stubborn usually, but it seems you’re a valuable reason for me to not surrender.”
Nao smiled. Yep, he was unable to say why, but Leon was maybe the only one who reawakened some interest in Nao’s heart since… Him. The famous previous date. He listens to Leon tell him more about himself… And nearly chokes on his drink at Leon’s last question. He grabbed some fresh air for a few seconds then laughed.
“Holy sh*t ! I didn’t expect that.”
He had a short hard time regulating his laugh.
“Well, no, sleeping with my boss's business partners is my main occupation over there.”
He said with a big smile.
“More seriously, I’m a nerd about video games, I like to play them a lot. More on consoles than computers, even if I have a pretty good one too. Because on consoles, I can more easily play with my friends. I am fluent in French, Japanese and English, of course and I am learning korean.”
He took another swallow.
“And I love cats. They are my comfort animal. Oh, and I obviously ride horses too, but I am on the student side, not the coach one.”
Nao could feel the alcohol go to his head. He wasn’t drunk, but he began to feel more relaxed.
“My turn, I guess ? What is your dream destination ? Like, for holidays. And why ?”

Valuable reason? Leon flushed at this he shook his head gently and let out a small sigh in defeat, Nao had a way with words he didn’t really comprehend, but for some reason they made him embarrassed, and something else he wasn’t sure of…
“I don’t play those often, I usually don’t have the time.” not to mention Leon often forgot he was a 25 year old man and not a 40 something business guy.
“I know some faint Korean but nothing impressive.” Leon finished his wine and hummed in thought, Dream destination, for holiday? "huh, I’ve never thought about it…” Leon laughed a bit, “Maybe a beach? or rather somewhere nice and rainy so I can stay inside all day, course I live in the UK.” Leon leaned back, feeling more comfortable now, “And you?”

“Heh, I liked rainy places too, just for the coziness that ambiance can bring. I love to just cuddle on a sofa in front of a good movie with a hot chocolate mug since it's rainy outside. Cliché, isn’t it ? But if I had a dream destination, that’d be Mongolia for a long horse riding trip or Tahiti for the beach. Even if I’d instantly burn over there, for sure !”
Nao said with a bright smile. He was feeling pretty good now, and despite the… fear maybe ? or certainty of Leon to see him running away, he had not a single intention to. As time went by, he was feeling more confident and found Leon more cool and handsome. That was maybe because of the wine, but that was a really nice sensation.
“So, tell me, what was your longest relationship ?”
Back to romantic-related questions.

"very cliche." Leon nodded but he didn't protest the idea, somedays he'd like to relax more, which is what he was trying to do while in the UK, otherwise, he'd start to feel guilty when he had students ready to learn from him. Leon pondered the most recent question as their dishes came, "Um.." the longest? he had to think, "I think it was with a guy I met at a show, he lasted a good few months, we left each other on our one-year anniversary." Leon shrugged, unbothered Erik was a thing of the past, and to be quite honest he hadn't heard from him in years nor thought of him until this moment, "what about you? any exes I should look out for?" yet another sly smirk.

Nao took one or two bites in his dish and drank another swallow before answering the question. That was not really an easy subject to speak about.
“Well, I had a 3 year relationship with a guy a few years ago, but you don’t have to worry ‘bout him. I do all I can to never cross his path again.” Nao realized that his voice had lowered and became too gloomy for the ambiance, so he instantly continued with a more cheerful voice “Aaand some shorter relationships, but that was before the longest one, and these exes vanished into thin air !”
Nao stared into space for a bit, a little more disturbed than he thought about mentioning Matthew, who was English too. Anyone would think that he had a kink for English guys.
“This meat is awesome, by the way. I do not regret my choice for this restaurant !”
He stared at Leon.
“Nor ‘bout insisting on spending time with you.”

Leon raised an eyebrow, this longer relationship he mentioned seemed to leave a bad taste in his dinner partners mouth…he would be lying if he said he wasn't more curious but didn't want to push the subject.
"Im not really worried, you already seem to have fell for my charms." Leon joked and sighed "but to be honest I've not had this much interest in someone for a while so, congrats." Leon ate quietly, Nao was right the food here was great,maybe he'd come back sometime with his family?
"Of course i dunno if im sold enough to accept your offer to date you…officially yet.."
He was still reserved in that sense, Nao did seem different however he had trouble trusting him…any guy that said they wanted to date him.

“Ahah, yes I do.” and Nao answered Leon's joke with a smile too. “I’m pretty glad to hear that. That’s the same for me. To be honest, you are the first one who has really interested me since my previous long relationship.”
Nao takes some bites on his plate again. Yup, really good choice. He stayed quiet for a second when Leon said to him about dating seriously. Nao gave him a reassuring smile.
“Hm, that’s OK. We can take our time. I prefer, by the way, to just see what will happen rather than speeding things and ruining everything because everything goes too fast.”
Nao stayed silent for a few seconds. Speeding everything was one of his previous relationship failure reasons, but not the only one. He really doesn’t want to do the same. Not this time.
“But what can I do to increase my opportunities ?”

Leon raised an eyebrow im surprise usually someone would give up Nao truly was special…or just plain stubborn. But here he was, asking what else he could do to ease Leons trust issues or something
He couldn't help but smirk again, "you mean… make yourself more convincing eh? Well this is a good start and our previous redevouz of course..maybe I'll get attached to you."

“Is that a bet ?”
Nao asked with the same kind of smirk that Leon offered to him.
“If so, prepare yourself. I’ll make you fall for me.”
He said that with a joking voice, but he was pretty serious in reality.
He focused for a bit on his dish, and refilled his empty glass with some wine. He stretch the bottle to Leon, asking silently if he wanted a refill too.
“So, what do you want to do after dinner ? Do you want to go to the hotel right away ? Or do you want to take a drink somewhere else ?”
Not that Nao wasn’t impatient to jump to the next part of their initial schedule, but he wasn’t against the idea to drink a little bit more.

“We’ll see Mr.Maida” Leon nodded toward the refill and let out a faint sigh, “Drinking more does sound nice…but have you forgotten we have a clinic to go to?” the redhead glanced up from his glass, “Maybe next time, we can drink to our hearts content if you wish.” Leon surprised himself he’d confirmed there would be a next time or atleast he’d like another one, Yes he liked this. He’d forgotten how much he actually missed going on dates in the past few years. It was refreshing, and not to mention the fun of being chased, he wasn’t a stranger too it, but he enjoyed it.
Leon liked Nao, he’d admitted this to himself time and time again in this evening, he wasn’t sold, but hopeful that they could work and he wouldn’t have another night like his anniversary.

“Yep, I forgot. Well, let’s keep that for another time. Did you want anything for the dessert or do we skip for another type of it ?”
The offer was barely hidden, but Nao could feel a total other kind of impatience growing in him. And with the alcohol, the memories of their last night together were climbing up in front of his thoughts. And that was clearly not some bad ones. He leaned on his chair, taking a more relaxed attitude than before and looked a bit longer at his “partner-for-a-night”. He was really, really cute. By more ways that he could imagine, for sure. This guy was quite surprising : he forced Nao to go out of his comfort zone in relationships, and that was not easy work. For the better or the worst ? Who could say…

Leon took a second to take in his offer of, ‘dessert’, a sly smile graced his lips, “So bold of you Mr Maida.”
“I like to choose the second option please. I’m sure if you want the actual thing afterwards we can watch a film and order it.” he motioned for the waiter and paid for them both, “You don’t have to pay my piece, this time. You’re a guest after all.”
Leon stood when the staff left and he smirked again, this time a little more evilly, as he extended a hand out to Nao, as if it was a peace offering, “well? You’re gonna show me why I should accept right?”

"Well, I like the idea of watching a movie with you. Not only that but… That's a nice beginning !"
Nao did not find the time to pay before Leon did and couldn't do anything else than launching a disapproval look.
"I'm maybe a guest, but I can pay for both of us, you know? But I'll take the next time for me then."
And when Leon smirked at him and extended his hand to him, Nao took it without hesitation.
"I will, Mr Winchester, you better be ready."
He answered with a malicious smile. This was the time to jump to the next part of the evening ~

—-SEXY TIME BREAK, WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK—-

“If you’re ordering desserts get something small for me please.” Leon called after Nao who’d already vanished in the next room, after their, dare he say, second incredible time together they’d made good on their plans to order in and find a movie. Leon sighed as he looked through the stack of provided ones from the hotel, He pinched his brows together as he slid the sleeve of the sweater he’d stolen from Nao up, “Damn tall people and their long arms.”
He hadn’t planned on snatching it but he got cold easy and it was just sitting there waiting, Nao didn’t seem to mind anyway.
Leon huffed as he thumbed through the boxes again, wasn’t there anything good in here?

"'kay, got it !" Nao shouted while he was on the phone taking orders for some desserts. "And a cup of ice cream please. Yes. 'kay thanks."
He hung the phone up then made a satisfied sight. Damn, what a moment. Second time, even better than the previous one. Nao came back to the room where Leon was with a smile. He launched a tender look at the boy, who seemed to be struggling to find a good movie to watch.
"They will be here in a few. Have you found anything interesting yet ?"
Until he gets an answer, he sneaks behind Leon and made a kiss on his neck.
"You look cute in my hoodie, ya know ?"
Yup, Nao felt still in a kind of romantic condition.

"Maida, did you forget I told you I'd punch you in the arm if you kissed me there again?" Leon hissed, "Those marks are hard to hide y'know, I can't be spending good horse money on cosmetics just for you to assault my neck whenever you please."
Leon struggled with the sleeve again and shot Nao a look, "Hmph, don't get your hopes up just cuz I didn't wanna wear my jacket inside..." he mumbled under his breath and aggressively flipped through the movies again, "They don't have much in the way of 'Interesting' typical dumb movies."
Leon got up from the floor reaching upward to stretch and handed Nao a couple, "There's only two that look good so you can have the final say, I'm not picky." what a hypocrite, after looking through several movie cases he landed on two.

"Aw, come on, I haven't even left a mark on your neck, that's a kiss, not a love-bite, Leon." Nao answered with a rictus while rolling his eyes.
"I know you don't feel comfortable carrying these, so I wouldn't dare make another one. BUT if I have to buy you some make-up to cover them, I'll do it. Aaand that's not having my hopes up to admit that you're cute, whatever it's my hoodie or your jacket you wear."
Despite his little speech, Nao took a little distance from Leon, a bit offended while he was taking the both cases. He picked one, the movie which seemed the best and handed one to Leon.
"Let's try this one, so. Never seen it before and it seems not so bad. Don't play it now, the room service should be here in minutes. I may go greet them, though."
He said, taking the direction of the door.

"If you're gonna make the effort to get my neck then just do it on my lips instead," Leon muttered, he surprised himself how much he liked being kissed seeing as how he hasn't been in a long time, "Annnnd You're tall, which automatically makes your stuff more comfortable to me." Evie had told Leon this statement as she dawned one of her infamous boyfriend's hoodies to a lesson once, he never thought he'd get to see if it was true or not...it was.
Leon pushed the small DVD into the box and quickly pressed pause so that not a single second of airtime would play while they were busy, was he that excited? really? it felt almost unnatural to him, he did his best to brush it off and head over toward Nao, "I hope they're quick..." the redhead let off a faint sigh, "I'm feeling peckish..."

"In your lips huh ?"
Nao asked, turning himself to Leon with a kind of challenging look. Then he rushed to him and suddenly take his collar to give him a passionate kiss.
"More like that, so ?"
He asked in a hot blast of air.
A knock came from the door at the same time.
"Ah, it seems they're already here, your hunger issue will be solved in a second."
He released Leon to open the door, forgetting he was shirtless, on a cute young woman who immediately blushed at the view she had in front of her.
"Room service, I suppose ?" Nao asked with a polite smile
"Y…Yes sir. May I enter to let the trolley in here ?"
"Of course."
Nao take a step back and the lady entered and put the trolley in, but seemed to not even notice Leon.
"Can I do anything else for you, sir ?"
She asks, looking Nao right in his eyes.

Leon was a bit stunned after that to react, "wha- seriously? attacking me like that-" he finished his tiny rant when the door opened, he narrowed his eyes at the woman, she was looking a little too long and a little too hard. well...what did it matter exactly? they weren't dating. Leon chewed his lip to keep from saying anything when he was nearly run over but he had a short temper, a gift bestowed upon him by his pure Irish mother no less, alas, it did not last as Leon pushed past and in front of the girl he was just about as tall as, maybe an inch more, "You can get the hell outta here." while his aggressive tone had a slight Irish accent it was also laced with venom, he could have done without the curse but he was a sailor at heart. He didn't know why he was so defensive nor why this lady got under his skin, maybe she was just surprised and doing her job? not that Leon cared right now, "If you can't tell we're a little busy." he narrowed his eyes at her again, hoping she got the memo and that his tone chilled her to the bone.

When Leon stepped in to confront the girl and asked her to leave - and not in a polite way - Nao stay stunned for a second. What the hell was that ? Was it some kind of jealousy ? But they weren't even dating ! He couldn't feel happy about it because Leon's attitude made the girl turn white. Nao smiled politely to her while he was putting a hand on Leon's back to calm him a bit.
"He's right, we're busy here. We do not need anything, it's better for you to leave. Now."
"Y…yes, sorry for the inconvenience."
Then, he showed her the exit and closed the door. Then he turned to face Leon.
"Are you ok ? You look upset. Did I do something wrong ?"
Nao asked with a really concerned air. He had clearly seen the bizarre attitude of the woman but Nao knew that he had the big default to be too polite and so he certainly wouldn't have sent the lady back this fast if Leon hadn't been there. So, maybe Leon thought he was flirting with the girl ? That was a possibility he couldn't rule out.

"No, you didn't do anything." Leon frowned at the door as the girl left, "That woman was acting weird and not paying attention. She almost ran me over. careless." Leon let out a frustrated sigh, "moving on."
He wanted to move on quickly, he'd been jealous before but never that jealous. was he insecure about Nao being with both women and men before? or insecure about himself? either way he glanced over and gently poked Naos's chest with an index finger, "go put a hoodie on and I'll take out food over to the couch."
Leon grabbed the things on the trolley and paused, "I'm not upset at you. just...Jealous I guess." he admitted it not only to Nao but himself, It was for the best, and..it would throw Nao the bone that he deserved, something, anything to show he was making progress with the Brit.

"Jea…lous ?" Articulate Nao with a surprised face until he was hardly blushing. Not that he does not like it, but coming from someone who insisted so much about the fact they were not dating at this moment that sounded… Unexpected.
"Ye.. yeah, I'm gonna do that. If that can help to keep the hotel staff more professional…" How to lose its self-assurance in a second.
Then, Nao leaves for a bit, going to wear his other hoodie. He took some seconds to wash his face too, as he was still feeling the heat on his cheeks. Gosh that was sooo… Unexpected, pleasant and embarassing in the same time. Damn. Damn Nao could feel that he was falling in love. And that happened more quickly than expected. Nao felt a bit afraid. And if…?
He spent two more minutes in the bathroom then headed to the room where Leon was waiting for him.
"So, have you found something to eat which please you ? If so, you can launch the movie."

Leon nodded, "Yep." he offered a seat to Nao on the couch and clicked play on the small remote, as the movie began Leon ate the treat quietly, he didn't know why exactly but the whole thing with the employee left a bad taste in his mouth. He glanced over to Nao then the TV, he wasn't even really paying attention, and...he was fairly tired...
He decided at least once, he wanted to try to be bold when it came to relationships, He scooted closer and closer as the movie went on until he'd managed to sit between Naos legs and gently lean on him, no big deal right? Leon didn't expect how much he actually would enjoy it though, movie long forgotten he began to drift off to sleep, he was happy.

Nao sat next to Leon. When the movie started, Nao wasn't paying a lot of attention to it. Because not only the movie wasn't as interesting as expected, but he was also still thinking about the jealousy of Leon. It happened totally out of the blue
compared to Leon's attitude until now. Was that meaning that he could have… hopes about their relationship ? And hopes that Leon felt something for him ? More than just a kind of affection ? Wasn't that too early ? When he noticed that Leon was coming closer and closer while the movie was running, he felt a little more relaxed. And when he finished between his legs, Nao just wrapped him in his arms, and when he felt Leon falling asleep, he just smells his hairs and let his body heat finished to warm him. He started to feel dizzy too and closed his eyes. The movie hasn't any interest anymore, after all. He was just feeling definitively good. That was a long time since he haven't felt that kind of things for someone. At this moment, he decided to embrace his feelings for Leon, because he sensed that their relationship could really become more than just these kinds of moments.

BEGINNING OF IHS GENERAL STORYLINE

PART 6 FIRST / FIRST PART OF NAO & LEON STORY | PREVIOUS | NEXT

Story :

The trip was long, Damzelle was more and more impatient in the trailer and Nao felt a relief when he saw his destination at the end of the road. He left IHS the day before and the road has been really long. He went inside the way to the stables and parked the trailer, checked his mare and then headed to the main building. He didn't really have an appointment, but the clinic was supposed to begin the next day and the notification said that he could arrive a day before to land the horse, a thing he did. It was pretty late in the evening and he was really, really tired, so he didn’t take the time to read nor the details of the notification letter or the name on the doorbell. He just knew that he was in the correct place because the name of the stables sounded familiar and just wanted to let Dam here then go to his hotel to sleep. So, when he knocked on the front door, he hadn’t any idea of who he would meet there.

Leon groaned and stomped over to the door, his parents had decided to host a clinic for whatever reason, he didn't have the slightest idea, mostly local kids and a few riders from nearby countries wanted to pop in and have his mother and father's advice. Sorcha McAllistair-Winchester and Ellis Winchester were old souls of the equestrian world and their only child still riding, Leon Winchester, would be there as well.
"If you're here for the clinic your supposed to drop the horses off at the barn can't you read the signs?" Leon has opened the door before looking up, when he did, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Maybe Nao should have read the details on the letter. Maybe he should have at least read the name on it. Because when he waited for the door to open, he was looking around and so did not see who opened it. That’s only when he heard an annoyed voice telling him that he should have dropped the horse in the dedicated barn, he almost fell back. Leon ?!

“Wow, I didn’t see that coming… Hi Leon. I’m taking part of the clinic organized here. What a surprise, huh ?”
Nao made a little smile, as he doesn’t really know how to react. It’d be a lie to say that he didn’t think about Leon these past few weeks, but he hadn’t planned to meet him again this soon.
“To be clear, I registered myself at this clinic before I met you. So, I have to drop my horse over there…?” he asked, pointing in a direction with his chin.

"I-" Leon groaned " Yes horses can go over there..I'll show you." Leon sighed and grabbed his jacket nearby, He quickly helped Nao get Damzelle out of the trailer and motioned in the direction of the boarding barn, "You can put here in the guest barn this way." He had been fairly caught off guard when Nao popped up on his doorstep, "what happened to 'tell me if you were nearby'"
Leon wouldn't say he was angry at seeing him, he just didn't expect it in the slightest.

Nao leaded Damzelle to her stall and then turned back to Leon. At the question he asked him, Nao looked at him with an amused air.
“Did you miss me that much to reproach that to me ?”
He then launched a last look at his mare, who would be really good here. The stall was large, well covered with straw and the hay looked qualitative… She’d be good here. And turned himself again to front Leon.
“I would have sent you a text with my localisation and my hotel room number once I was there. I didn’t want to impose myself in your life if you had something already planned, so I did not warn you before being there.”
The rider gave a shy smile to Leon. That was the truth, because Nao knew that Leon was not really the kind of guy who accepts to be cornered like that.
“I’m sorry.”
He didn’t really know why he was apologizing, but he felt like he had to.

Leon couldn't believe his ears, when did this guy get so confident?? aside from that kiss in the Saddlery...and well never mind that, "Miss you?" Leon retorted, "More like YOU missed ME." he rolled his eyes in a slightly annoyed demeanor, "You can still let me know I don't go out much at night. even if I refused." Leon frowned, why was he upset about it? not like he was looking forward to their next meeting.
Leon breathed out sharply, "whatever You're horse will be fine here until tomorrow anyway, you can leave now." with that Leon began his walk away, a little flustered.

Even if Nao wasn’t smiling anymore before admitting that he wouldn’t let Leon know he was here before he arrived, the guy’s reaction made him upset. Like, really upset. That was not his kind to become angry like that for this kind of shitty things, but the tiredness he felt made him sensitive.
“‘Kay, got it, you are definitely not happy to see me there tonight. So, as you wish, I'm leaving right now.”
The tone of his voice was pretty cold and he started to walk away too. But he suddenly turned himself back at Leon and started to say in a loud voice.
“But you know what ? I’ll be honest with you : You’re right. I’ve kinda missed you. I was impatient to see you again. Way more than I thought. And if you had plans, I would have been really disappointed. Too bad for me.”
Then he started to walk away again, without any good night. Man, he was so angry to have been forced to kind of confess like that. To someone who doesn’t even seem interested in him. Yup, he was too tired to have a clear mind. Maybe everything will be easier the next day.

The redhead paused and glared back at the guy, this was exactly why he didn't date he always said something he didn't mean and drove them away. Maybe it was for the best, after all, this is how it usually went down and they'd just ghost each other afterward, However, when Nao admitted to missing him he grew guiltier, "Yeah well." Leon frowned, "Me too. maybe." he tacted the last word on quickly as a saving grace for his pride, he was surprised he missed Nao's company never feeling that way about anyone including his previous dates he was fairly independent and egotistical often working better alone, and yet he missed him, this new feeling was a blow to the wall he'd built up over the years.

When Leon admitted that he maybe missed Nao too, the IHS rider stopped and turned over to face Leon.
“You said ‘maybe’. Did you miss me for real ?”
The question could seemed stupid, but after Leon’s reaction, Nao wasn’t very confident about these words. He didn’t want to discover that Leon felt obliged to say that to him just for a kind of good harmony between them. Nao made a few steps to get closer to Leon.
“You know, I can understand if you don’t feel the same as me. You don’t have to push yourself to admit something if you don’t want to.”
His voice was softer than before as Nao soothed a bit and as he didn’t want to make things worse, but he had to clear this. He didn’t want to get sentimentally involved with someone who didn't even share something with him. He already did that before and was still really distrustful about it.

"Who said I didn't want to? If I didn't feel that way, why would I say it in the first place." Leon shot a glance and Nao and frowned a bit, he let out a frustrated sigh, "Look. this is why I don't date people, I get angry, they get angry, we go our separate ways alright?" Leon turned his back toward Nao, "It's not worth the effort, if you want to see me tonight text me your hotel and room number but otherwise-" otherwise...? Leon frowned at the ground feeling another wave of guilt wash over him, "I'm not pushing myself to admit anything I don't want to." he grumbled in a softer voice doing his best not to get frustrated again and spout off something he didn't mean, "I've never felt the need to miss anyone okay? consider yourself lucky or whatever."

Well, to be honest, Nao did not expect Leon to be so talkative. During all his speaking, he was looking at him with a surprised but pleased look.
“I consider myself as lucky, yeah, because I’m pretty sure that you never talked to anyone else like that before about this kind of thing.”
Nao came closer to Leon and took one of his hands.
“I’m not angry, you know. I was just tired and I think we misunderstood each other. That's a thing which happens when you like someone a little more than the others. And when people are dating, too. That’s not a big issue and discussion can help it. So, let’s do it again, OK ?”
He softly smiled at Leon, then released his hand and got a paper. He took a pen in his pocket and wrote a note with his hotel and his room number. He handed it to Leon.
“Here are my hotel’s name and my room number. Would you like to join me tonight ? For dinner too, if that’s not too late for you.”

"Dinner?" Leon glanced down at the paper, he knew the place, it was a nice hotel not too far from here near the city. Leon's mind raced with thoughts, this sounded like an actual date rather than what they had agreed to, did he even wanna go on a date with him? maybe...
Was he being lulled into a sense of security? no way...probably not...
Leon picked at his brain a little more before looking back at Nao, he'd taken everything he'd said to him in and scratched his neck, coincidentally where the faded mark was now, "Fine." he shoved the card into his pocket and turned, "I'll see you in a couple of hours."

Nao smiled at him and waved his hand. “Sure, I’m impatient to see ya”, made a last stroke on Damzelle’s neck who was just wondering what happened all this time and took his leave.

-A few hours later-

Nao felt better. Way better than a couple of hours before. After his unexpected reunion with Leon, he drove straight to his hotel and took a very long shower. Then, he took a quick nap and the time to get ready for his date - because that was clearly one - arrived. At the hour of their meeting, Nao was in front of the restaurant, patiently waiting for Leon to arrive. He was feeling… Nervous. Like really nervous. It’s been ages since he goes on a date and even more since he felt something like that for someone. He felt like he was a child doing his first day at school. Same kind of feelings. And when he sees Leon coming nearer, he feels his heartbeat become faster.
“Hi. How are you since a bit earlier ?”

"It's only been a couple of hours." Leon sighed, he promised himself he'd try to be nicer to Nao, He'd showered, gotten ready all in the first hours, and sat mulling over the date with the next he tried to put on the calm, cool, and collected Leon he pulled out for business, but internally he was nervous, so nervous.
"Never mind that, I was fine How were you?"
He didn't know what to say, not sure what to do, he hadn't been on a date in years, "Is this the place you wanted?" He'd heard of the restaurant before, but he'd never been.

Nao smiled at him. He could feel a kind of tension between them, but not the kind which makes people angry.
“I’m great, thank you. Nervous, I had to say.”
He decided, during his shower, to be way more open and clear about what he feels to Leon, ‘cause it seemed to unlock things and make them easiest for both of us.
“I had to say that I picked the first good-ranking restaurant I saw on the internet… I’m not really familiar with the city, so I thought this could have been a good way to choose. Have you ever been there before ?”
He launched a look at the menu.
“The meals seem great… And the ambiance seems not bad.”
Nao was talkative… To better hide his nervousness.

"Nervous eh?" Leon had to chuckle a bit at that, Nao seemed like he wanted to be more open with him, so Leon took his gloves off stuffing them into his jacket once again, "I was nervous too I guess." he hated to admit it but he was, "Annnnd no, I haven't been here before actually..." he looked at Nao and couldn't hide a sly smirk, "You really looked through all those places just to find a decently rated one?" he laughed, "Let's go then."

“Yeah, I have ! Don’t you dare judge me for that, I’m a real tourist here.”
Nao said with a faked outraged air. He smiled at Leon’s laugh and opened the door for him.
“Mr Winchester, if you please…”
And they enter the restaurant. The ambiance was as promised, cozy but not too private. A waiter comes to meet them and to welcome them and after a little exchange about the booking and all of the stuff around, he leads them to their table.
“Well”, said Nao while he sat. “That’s not as snobbish as it seems in the first place. So much the better, I was afraid to feel out of place.”
He looked at the menu again and looked at Leon. Nao was feeling so lucky at this moment.
“Would you like some wine ?”
In France, it was said that a good moment always begins with a good glass of wine.

“I don’t mind fancy restaurants though I do prefer a suit over a jacket and some old trousers.” Leon took his seat and got a good look at Nao, he had to admit he still looked as good as he did in France, “Wine, uh..” Leon glanced at the menu, “Sure.” he figured they were going to the hotel afterward anyway. why not? Leon lifted his gaze to the man that sat across from him again smiling to himself, Nao looked happy, atleast Leon thought so and for a second he was pleased to see it. Soon he shook his head to collect his thoughts again, don’t think about that kinda thing. when he decides to run for the hills it will hurt worse. right.

“I’ll get the same thing as you, i’m not picky.”

“Fine, I’ll start with a glass of sweet white wine for the aperitif, we’ll see after which bottle we take, ‘cause that’ll depend on the courses. I’ve picked mine, that’ll be a piece of the butcher of the day, take your time to chose yours.”
Nao put the menu down and launched a stare at Leon. God, he was lucky, because the man in front of him was handsome. If he had believed that some weeks prior this guy would make him act like he never did before just because he appreciates him, he wouldn’t have believed it. Yeah, for now, Nao was pretty sure that was only because they appreciated each other. Nothing more, right ? He couldn’t fall in love with someone who was just around for a few months. That would be really stupid, isn’t it ?
“Take what you want, it’s my treat. For all the evening.”

"uh..I'll just have the same thing." He stared at it, to be honest, he was far too lost in his thoughts again to think about the menu page before him, he rested an arm on the table, then his chin on his hand, and looked over at Nao again, " So, is this a date or are you considering it a friendly dinner?" though he teased he was curious on the other man's perspective, and for his own clarification, Leon was too afraid to call this a 'date' himself in fear he'd jinx it and things, as usual, would go terribly.

At Leon’s question, Nao frozed a second. Was he serious ? Wasn’t that obvious ? Then he remembered who he had in front of him.The kind of guy who was too obstinate to say that he had missed him. Sooo, was it so strange to know that he asked himself if that was a date ? Definitely not.
“Yes, that’s totally a date, unless you consider our previous night together as a friendly activity only.”
Nao gave Leon a slight smile. Yep, he decided to assume that they were now dating, not only having fun as friends. This part of the deal was already outdated since they decided to see each other again, after all.
“Why ? Is that a problem if I wanted to make it a real date ?”

Leon was taken aback he didn't expect him to call it a date, "well...I would just say you're brave." now he was flustered, the red of his cheeks was especially highlighted under the lights in the restaurant, he made a faint attempt to hide behind the menu, "Then if this is what you call a date we should learn more about each other right?"

“Brave to call it a date ? Or brave to have the audacity to date you ?”
In Nao’s mind, he knew that was for both reasons, but it was so easy to tease this guy and even if Nao hasn’t the habit to be the confident one, it seemed to him that Leon needed Nao to act like that to open himself a bit more. He leaned on the table, arms crossed, making him closer.
“Great idea. What do you want to know ‘bout me ? Just ask anything, I’ll answer. Or did you want me to ask you something first ?”
He then took his glass of wine that a waiter just filled and drank a little swallow. He’d certainly need some alcohol help for the rest of the conversation.

“Both.” Leon responded to the first question curtly, he had to think on the second one, what did he WANT to know? he’d never really cared much to know anything about anyone before this so…
“How many dates have you been on? i suppose.”

Leon was curious to see how much experience this guy had in the dating field, was he a casanova or a first timer?

Nao made a grin to the both. Yep, he may be brave, or a fool, but it was pleasant, so whatever. The question asked by Leon surprised Nao. In all the things he could possibly asked him, he choose to ask him how many dates he had. Interesting.
"That's the second one. And the first one is not what I call a good experience."
He took another swallow, a thing which betrayed his evident tension. It was not an easy exercise.
"You ?"

Not a good experience? was the guy a jerk like he was? or the lady...
"This is my third..or fourth can't remember maybe...probably...more" he shrugged Leon had been on many dates, had relationships with 2 men, all ran off or failed in the end, "They didn't last. I ran them off." he glanced at him, with a slightly daring look, "Surprised you haven't already actually." he finally picked up his glass for the first time and swirled it trying to keep his hands busy for the moment.
"Anything for me?"

Wow. Nao felt a bit stupid when he realized that Leon had way more dates than him. To be honest, Nao flirted with many more people but nothing ended in a date. He had more one night stands than dates. Ridiculous, isn't it ? The boy who never had a bond…
"Well, sad for them. But why did you ran them off ? And why am I still here ?"
Nao drank one more drop.
"If that's too private, you can just tell me what are your hobbies. I want to know this kind of basic things too."

"Dunno, maybe they aren't as stubborn as you are?" Leon teased and sipped his wine, "I don't have many hobbies, to be honest." he looked up from his drink, "I used to play the violin, I haven't touched one in years...I'm fluent in Japanese and Irish or rather Gaelic. thanks to my Mother." he mumbled lost in thought, "I ride horses but you already know that otherwise I usually train my students and call it a day." he dismissed the question he couldn't help but think he was rather boring, "What do you do besides ride horses and make your boss's business partners sleep with you?" he asked, a playful tone in his voice, he was actually having fun being in the company of someone else, that didn't happen often.

“Heh, maybe, yes. I’m not really stubborn usually, but it seems you’re a valuable reason for me to not surrender.”
Nao smiled. Yep, he was unable to say why, but Leon was maybe the only one who reawakened some interest in Nao’s heart since… Him. The famous previous date. He listens to Leon tell him more about himself… And nearly chokes on his drink at Leon’s last question. He grabbed some fresh air for a few seconds then laughed.
“Holy sh*t ! I didn’t expect that.”
He had a short hard time regulating his laugh.
“Well, no, sleeping with my boss's business partners is my main occupation over there.”
He said with a big smile.
“More seriously, I’m a nerd about video games, I like to play them a lot. More on consoles than computers, even if I have a pretty good one too. Because on consoles, I can more easily play with my friends. I am fluent in French, Japanese and English, of course and I am learning korean.”
He took another swallow.
“And I love cats. They are my comfort animal. Oh, and I obviously ride horses too, but I am on the student side, not the coach one.”
Nao could feel the alcohol go to his head. He wasn’t drunk, but he began to feel more relaxed.
“My turn, I guess ? What is your dream destination ? Like, for holidays. And why ?”

Valuable reason? Leon flushed at this he shook his head gently and let out a small sigh in defeat, Nao had a way with words he didn’t really comprehend, but for some reason they made him embarrassed, and something else he wasn’t sure of…
“I don’t play those often, I usually don’t have the time.” not to mention Leon often forgot he was a 25 year old man and not a 40 something business guy.
“I know some faint Korean but nothing impressive.” Leon finished his wine and hummed in thought, Dream destination, for holiday? "huh, I’ve never thought about it…” Leon laughed a bit, “Maybe a beach? or rather somewhere nice and rainy so I can stay inside all day, course I live in the UK.” Leon leaned back, feeling more comfortable now, “And you?”

“Heh, I liked rainy places too, just for the coziness that ambiance can bring. I love to just cuddle on a sofa in front of a good movie with a hot chocolate mug since it's rainy outside. Cliché, isn’t it ? But if I had a dream destination, that’d be Mongolia for a long horse riding trip or Tahiti for the beach. Even if I’d instantly burn over there, for sure !”
Nao said with a bright smile. He was feeling pretty good now, and despite the… fear maybe ? or certainty of Leon to see him running away, he had not a single intention to. As time went by, he was feeling more confident and found Leon more cool and handsome. That was maybe because of the wine, but that was a really nice sensation.
“So, tell me, what was your longest relationship ?”
Back to romantic-related questions.

"very cliche." Leon nodded but he didn't protest the idea, somedays he'd like to relax more, which is what he was trying to do while in the UK, otherwise, he'd start to feel guilty when he had students ready to learn from him. Leon pondered the most recent question as their dishes came, "Um.." the longest? he had to think, "I think it was with a guy I met at a show, he lasted a good few months, we left each other on our one-year anniversary." Leon shrugged, unbothered Erik was a thing of the past, and to be quite honest he hadn't heard from him in years nor thought of him until this moment, "what about you? any exes I should look out for?" yet another sly smirk.

Nao took one or two bites in his dish and drank another swallow before answering the question. That was not really an easy subject to speak about.
“Well, I had a 3 year relationship with a guy a few years ago, but you don’t have to worry ‘bout him. I do all I can to never cross his path again.” Nao realized that his voice had lowered and became too gloomy for the ambiance, so he instantly continued with a more cheerful voice “Aaand some shorter relationships, but that was before the longest one, and these exes vanished into thin air !”
Nao stared into space for a bit, a little more disturbed than he thought about mentioning Matthew, who was English too. Anyone would think that he had a kink for English guys.
“This meat is awesome, by the way. I do not regret my choice for this restaurant !”
He stared at Leon.
“Nor ‘bout insisting on spending time with you.”

Leon raised an eyebrow, this longer relationship he mentioned seemed to leave a bad taste in his dinner partners mouth…he would be lying if he said he wasn't more curious but didn't want to push the subject.
"Im not really worried, you already seem to have fell for my charms." Leon joked and sighed "but to be honest I've not had this much interest in someone for a while so, congrats." Leon ate quietly, Nao was right the food here was great,maybe he'd come back sometime with his family?
"Of course i dunno if im sold enough to accept your offer to date you…officially yet.."
He was still reserved in that sense, Nao did seem different however he had trouble trusting him…any guy that said they wanted to date him.

“Ahah, yes I do.” and Nao answered Leon's joke with a smile too. “I’m pretty glad to hear that. That’s the same for me. To be honest, you are the first one who has really interested me since my previous long relationship.”
Nao takes some bites on his plate again. Yup, really good choice. He stayed quiet for a second when Leon said to him about dating seriously. Nao gave him a reassuring smile.
“Hm, that’s OK. We can take our time. I prefer, by the way, to just see what will happen rather than speeding things and ruining everything because everything goes too fast.”
Nao stayed silent for a few seconds. Speeding everything was one of his previous relationship failure reasons, but not the only one. He really doesn’t want to do the same. Not this time.
“But what can I do to increase my opportunities ?”

Leon raised an eyebrow im surprise usually someone would give up Nao truly was special…or just plain stubborn. But here he was, asking what else he could do to ease Leons trust issues or something
He couldn't help but smirk again, "you mean… make yourself more convincing eh? Well this is a good start and our previous redevouz of course..maybe I'll get attached to you."

“Is that a bet ?”
Nao asked with the same kind of smirk that Leon offered to him.
“If so, prepare yourself. I’ll make you fall for me.”
He said that with a joking voice, but he was pretty serious in reality.
He focused for a bit on his dish, and refilled his empty glass with some wine. He stretch the bottle to Leon, asking silently if he wanted a refill too.
“So, what do you want to do after dinner ? Do you want to go to the hotel right away ? Or do you want to take a drink somewhere else ?”
Not that Nao wasn’t impatient to jump to the next part of their initial schedule, but he wasn’t against the idea to drink a little bit more.

“We’ll see Mr.Maida” Leon nodded toward the refill and let out a faint sigh, “Drinking more does sound nice…but have you forgotten we have a clinic to go to?” the redhead glanced up from his glass, “Maybe next time, we can drink to our hearts content if you wish.” Leon surprised himself he’d confirmed there would be a next time or atleast he’d like another one, Yes he liked this. He’d forgotten how much he actually missed going on dates in the past few years. It was refreshing, and not to mention the fun of being chased, he wasn’t a stranger too it, but he enjoyed it.
Leon liked Nao, he’d admitted this to himself time and time again in this evening, he wasn’t sold, but hopeful that they could work and he wouldn’t have another night like his anniversary.

“Yep, I forgot. Well, let’s keep that for another time. Did you want anything for the dessert or do we skip for another type of it ?”
The offer was barely hidden, but Nao could feel a total other kind of impatience growing in him. And with the alcohol, the memories of their last night together were climbing up in front of his thoughts. And that was clearly not some bad ones. He leaned on his chair, taking a more relaxed attitude than before and looked a bit longer at his “partner-for-a-night”. He was really, really cute. By more ways that he could imagine, for sure. This guy was quite surprising : he forced Nao to go out of his comfort zone in relationships, and that was not easy work. For the better or the worst ? Who could say…

Leon took a second to take in his offer of, ‘dessert’, a sly smile graced his lips, “So bold of you Mr Maida.”
“I like to choose the second option please. I’m sure if you want the actual thing afterwards we can watch a film and order it.” he motioned for the waiter and paid for them both, “You don’t have to pay my piece, this time. You’re a guest after all.”
Leon stood when the staff left and he smirked again, this time a little more evilly, as he extended a hand out to Nao, as if it was a peace offering, “well? You’re gonna show me why I should accept right?”

"Well, I like the idea of watching a movie with you. Not only that but… That's a nice beginning !"
Nao did not find the time to pay before Leon did and couldn't do anything else than launching a disapproval look.
"I'm maybe a guest, but I can pay for both of us, you know? But I'll take the next time for me then."
And when Leon smirked at him and extended his hand to him, Nao took it without hesitation.
"I will, Mr Winchester, you better be ready."
He answered with a malicious smile. This was the time to jump to the next part of the evening ~

—-SEXY TIME BREAK, WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK—-

“If you’re ordering desserts get something small for me please.” Leon called after Nao who’d already vanished in the next room, after their, dare he say, second incredible time together they’d made good on their plans to order in and find a movie. Leon sighed as he looked through the stack of provided ones from the hotel, He pinched his brows together as he slid the sleeve of the sweater he’d stolen from Nao up, “Damn tall people and their long arms.”
He hadn’t planned on snatching it but he got cold easy and it was just sitting there waiting, Nao didn’t seem to mind anyway.
Leon huffed as he thumbed through the boxes again, wasn’t there anything good in here?

"'kay, got it !" Nao shouted while he was on the phone taking orders for some desserts. "And a cup of ice cream please. Yes. 'kay thanks."
He hung the phone up then made a satisfied sight. Damn, what a moment. Second time, even better than the previous one. Nao came back to the room where Leon was with a smile. He launched a tender look at the boy, who seemed to be struggling to find a good movie to watch.
"They will be here in a few. Have you found anything interesting yet ?"
Until he gets an answer, he sneaks behind Leon and made a kiss on his neck.
"You look cute in my hoodie, ya know ?"
Yup, Nao felt still in a kind of romantic condition.

"Maida, did you forget I told you I'd punch you in the arm if you kissed me there again?" Leon hissed, "Those marks are hard to hide y'know, I can't be spending good horse money on cosmetics just for you to assault my neck whenever you please."
Leon struggled with the sleeve again and shot Nao a look, "Hmph, don't get your hopes up just cuz I didn't wanna wear my jacket inside..." he mumbled under his breath and aggressively flipped through the movies again, "They don't have much in the way of 'Interesting' typical dumb movies."
Leon got up from the floor reaching upward to stretch and handed Nao a couple, "There's only two that look good so you can have the final say, I'm not picky." what a hypocrite, after looking through several movie cases he landed on two.

"Aw, come on, I haven't even left a mark on your neck, that's a kiss, not a love-bite, Leon." Nao answered with a rictus while rolling his eyes.
"I know you don't feel comfortable carrying these, so I wouldn't dare make another one. BUT if I have to buy you some make-up to cover them, I'll do it. Aaand that's not having my hopes up to admit that you're cute, whatever it's my hoodie or your jacket you wear."
Despite his little speech, Nao took a little distance from Leon, a bit offended while he was taking the both cases. He picked one, the movie which seemed the best and handed one to Leon.
"Let's try this one, so. Never seen it before and it seems not so bad. Don't play it now, the room service should be here in minutes. I may go greet them, though."
He said, taking the direction of the door.

"If you're gonna make the effort to get my neck then just do it on my lips instead," Leon muttered, he surprised himself how much he liked being kissed seeing as how he hasn't been in a long time, "Annnnd You're tall, which automatically makes your stuff more comfortable to me." Evie had told Leon this statement as she dawned one of her infamous boyfriend's hoodies to a lesson once, he never thought he'd get to see if it was true or not...it was.
Leon pushed the small DVD into the box and quickly pressed pause so that not a single second of airtime would play while they were busy, was he that excited? really? it felt almost unnatural to him, he did his best to brush it off and head over toward Nao, "I hope they're quick..." the redhead let off a faint sigh, "I'm feeling peckish..."

"In your lips huh ?"
Nao asked, turning himself to Leon with a kind of challenging look. Then he rushed to him and suddenly take his collar to give him a passionate kiss.
"More like that, so ?"
He asked in a hot blast of air.
A knock came from the door at the same time.
"Ah, it seems they're already here, your hunger issue will be solved in a second."
He released Leon to open the door, forgetting he was shirtless, on a cute young woman who immediately blushed at the view she had in front of her.
"Room service, I suppose ?" Nao asked with a polite smile
"Y…Yes sir. May I enter to let the trolley in here ?"
"Of course."
Nao take a step back and the lady entered and put the trolley in, but seemed to not even notice Leon.
"Can I do anything else for you, sir ?"
She asks, looking Nao right in his eyes.

Leon was a bit stunned after that to react, "wha- seriously? attacking me like that-" he finished his tiny rant when the door opened, he narrowed his eyes at the woman, she was looking a little too long and a little too hard. well...what did it matter exactly? they weren't dating. Leon chewed his lip to keep from saying anything when he was nearly run over but he had a short temper, a gift bestowed upon him by his pure Irish mother no less, alas, it did not last as Leon pushed past and in front of the girl he was just about as tall as, maybe an inch more, "You can get the hell outta here." while his aggressive tone had a slight Irish accent it was also laced with venom, he could have done without the curse but he was a sailor at heart. He didn't know why he was so defensive nor why this lady got under his skin, maybe she was just surprised and doing her job? not that Leon cared right now, "If you can't tell we're a little busy." he narrowed his eyes at her again, hoping she got the memo and that his tone chilled her to the bone.

When Leon stepped in to confront the girl and asked her to leave - and not in a polite way - Nao stay stunned for a second. What the hell was that ? Was it some kind of jealousy ? But they weren't even dating ! He couldn't feel happy about it because Leon's attitude made the girl turn white. Nao smiled politely to her while he was putting a hand on Leon's back to calm him a bit.
"He's right, we're busy here. We do not need anything, it's better for you to leave. Now."
"Y…yes, sorry for the inconvenience."
Then, he showed her the exit and closed the door. Then he turned to face Leon.
"Are you ok ? You look upset. Did I do something wrong ?"
Nao asked with a really concerned air. He had clearly seen the bizarre attitude of the woman but Nao knew that he had the big default to be too polite and so he certainly wouldn't have sent the lady back this fast if Leon hadn't been there. So, maybe Leon thought he was flirting with the girl ? That was a possibility he couldn't rule out.

"No, you didn't do anything." Leon frowned at the door as the girl left, "That woman was acting weird and not paying attention. She almost ran me over. careless." Leon let out a frustrated sigh, "moving on."
He wanted to move on quickly, he'd been jealous before but never that jealous. was he insecure about Nao being with both women and men before? or insecure about himself? either way he glanced over and gently poked Naos's chest with an index finger, "go put a hoodie on and I'll take out food over to the couch."
Leon grabbed the things on the trolley and paused, "I'm not upset at you. just...Jealous I guess." he admitted it not only to Nao but himself, It was for the best, and..it would throw Nao the bone that he deserved, something, anything to show he was making progress with the Brit.

"Jea…lous ?" Articulate Nao with a surprised face until he was hardly blushing. Not that he does not like it, but coming from someone who insisted so much about the fact they were not dating at this moment that sounded… Unexpected.
"Ye.. yeah, I'm gonna do that. If that can help to keep the hotel staff more professional…" How to lose its self-assurance in a second.
Then, Nao leaves for a bit, going to wear his other hoodie. He took some seconds to wash his face too, as he was still feeling the heat on his cheeks. Gosh that was sooo… Unexpected, pleasant and embarassing in the same time. Damn. Damn Nao could feel that he was falling in love. And that happened more quickly than expected. Nao felt a bit afraid. And if…?
He spent two more minutes in the bathroom then headed to the room where Leon was waiting for him.
"So, have you found something to eat which please you ? If so, you can launch the movie."

Leon nodded, "Yep." he offered a seat to Nao on the couch and clicked play on the small remote, as the movie began Leon ate the treat quietly, he didn't know why exactly but the whole thing with the employee left a bad taste in his mouth. He glanced over to Nao then the TV, he wasn't even really paying attention, and...he was fairly tired...
He decided at least once, he wanted to try to be bold when it came to relationships, He scooted closer and closer as the movie went on until he'd managed to sit between Naos legs and gently lean on him, no big deal right? Leon didn't expect how much he actually would enjoy it though, movie long forgotten he began to drift off to sleep, he was happy.

Nao sat next to Leon. When the movie started, Nao wasn't paying a lot of attention to it. Because not only the movie wasn't as interesting as expected, but he was also still thinking about the jealousy of Leon. It happened totally out of the blue
compared to Leon's attitude until now. Was that meaning that he could have… hopes about their relationship ? And hopes that Leon felt something for him ? More than just a kind of affection ? Wasn't that too early ? When he noticed that Leon was coming closer and closer while the movie was running, he felt a little more relaxed. And when he finished between his legs, Nao just wrapped him in his arms, and when he felt Leon falling asleep, he just smells his hairs and let his body heat finished to warm him. He started to feel dizzy too and closed his eyes. The movie hasn't any interest anymore, after all. He was just feeling definitively good. That was a long time since he haven't felt that kind of things for someone. At this moment, he decided to embrace his feelings for Leon, because he sensed that their relationship could really become more than just these kinds of moments.
