Friends? [Leon]

Mistaken Identity

His innuendo was a way to remind her of her first meeting with Ethan, driving with him to the ice cream parlor and enjoying their “first” date together. It dimmed her good mood a bit, but when she saw the fire in his palm, she forgot all about that, and another memory came to her mind. It was when she was little, and she was in Greece with her father. Another little boy had introduced her to his father who had had the same power, and she had been fascinated. She met his gaze when he grabbed her hand and tugged her away.

“Me, a crazy stalker?” she teased as she followed him, flushing with warmth at the heat his touch created. They entered the co-ed dorms, which delighted her, and walked right past her room towards his. “Hey, you live down the hall from me!” she said with excitement, her spirits finally lifting. A good-looking friend who lived in her same building? Hell yes! She walked in after him and kicked off her shoes, making herself right at home as she looked around. Deciding that it was okay, she sat on his bed and watched him.

“Yup, you owe me,” she told him matter-of-factly, winking teasingly. “Pay up, hotshot.” As she waited, she got comfy, leaning back on her palms as she looked around his room. It was very much a boy’s room, and it made her smile. If she had ever had a brother, his room would have looked like Leon’s, she guessed, but she was an only child, and it had stayed that way all her life. “So you have any siblings, Leon? Any special people in your life?” she asked in curiosity, not only to gain information, but because it was within her right as his friend.

His friend. She liked the sound of that.

"Stranger things have happened... you'd be surprised how many paparazzi I've had to throw fireballs at." He said with a laugh as they walked down the hall. "Oh sick deals! Maybe more frequent visits can be arranged." He said with a wink. He wouldn't mind going over to visit later tonight if the opportunity arose, but he couldn't see that happening anytime soon. For now he would just stick with the initial plan of coffee and see where things went from there.

As he started looking around she made herself right at home almost instantly. Shrugging it off he went in search of anything they could drink. Reaching into the cupboard he pulled out the coffee canister and started getting the machine ready. It took about twenty minutes to brew so they had plenty of time to kill until then. "Oh, I see how it is... I've only known you a few minutes and already I owe you! Well you can just take the coffee I make and like it damn it!" He said with a laugh as he turned the coffee maker on and sauntered over to his bed to sit down beside her.

Leon shrugged before answering. "Sadly I don't have any siblings... I'm the spoiled brat, my parents send me money now and then to pay for the important things but not much past that." He said with a smile as he leaned closer to her, very much enjoying that he had a pretty girl in his bed. "What about you? You any closer with family than I am with mine?" He asked, leaning close enough for his arm to brush hers. He waited for her to reply and listened, drinking in her every word. He wouldn't be caught not paying attention right now.

"What do you do around here for fun?" He asked, curious to see what kind of interests she had. It was easy enough to ask questions, but from the looks of things he could have some fun getting to know her. She seemed outgoing enough and that always proved to be the best kind of person for Leon to be around. Glancing over to check on the coffee he looked back at Andi. "You have really nice eyes." He said, simply stating exactly what he thought as he looked at her.
