It was quiet. Not one said a word.

They stared at each other. Only their breathing mingled, just waiting. Waiting for the other to speak.

His soft voice carried throughout the room, “What now?”

N shook his head, “Leo.” He paused, watching his friend lean on his hands as he sat on the bed, “Bringing Ezra here was-”

“A mistake?” Leo cut in.

N sighed, “What the hell were you thinking?”

Leo shrugged, “Easy, I wasn’t.”

N didn’t speak, just stared at his friend. He could hear laughter bursting from the living room. He couldn’t hear what they were exactly talking about but he could definitely tell the guys were humoring Ezra, as he can faintly heard her voice as she spoke to them.

He knew that Leo was paying attention as well. He studied Leo’s posture and the way his head tilted at Ezra’s laughter coming from the other room.

N pursed his lips, coming to a conclusion. He pinched the bridge of his nose, “Why her? Of all the girls in Korea, Leo!”

Leo didn’t look at him.

“Do you realize what you’ve done?” N breathed worriedly, “The outbreaks of scandals that’s about to ensue? And what about her? Her pride? Her dignity?”

Once again, there was silence.

“N, I’m very much aware of my actions and what the consequences are,” Leo stated. He kept looking ahead of him, “I know what I’m doing.”

In other words, hewants a scandal. Unbelievable. N shook his head.

N bit the inside of his cheek and then spoke solemnly, “Do you honestly think she’s going to survive here? In a place– no –a world where she has no clue of, much less a space for her to fit in?”

It was then that Leo turned his head to N and raised his eyebrow, “A little cruel, aren’t we, N?”

“What do you mean we?” N defended himself, “I’m not the one who took Ezra and- ” he cut himself short as he slowly realized what Leo implied.

Leo spoke in that delicate porcelain voice of his, but his words barely filtered in through N’s ears.

They heard her warm laughter again.

Leo studied N’s face. He could see his lax expression changing from understanding to being vexed.

N didn’t even hear himself speak words of desperation before leaving Leo’s room with a soft click of the door.

He stood there for a few seconds, trying to collect his thoughts. He exhaled and headed to the ruckus in the living room. His eyes settled on one person.

Ezra looked at him with such a sincere smile and he had to look away.

Leo’s last words sunk in.

So once again, I was hesitant in uploading this chapter. I sometimes scare myself in where this is heading. Hopefully I don't fuck up. *bangs head against keyboard* N has the thought of he wants a scandal, doesn't necessarily mean it's Leo who wants the scandal, if anything, Leo doesn't care for it. I'm pretty sure you know who he is. If not, then I'll make it clear either next time or in a couple of chapters. As for what was exchanged between Leo and N at the end remains a mystery for now. You'll find out soon. And now Leo's stirring the pot. Any guesses to what he's up to?

I know, I know. Some of you must be chanting, 'Smut! Smut! Smut!' and I'll be chanting, 'Wait! Wait! Wait!' This story was originally written to just write smut with Leo/OC and have fun with it but my stupid muse has a different plan now. I hate when things deviate from my origanl plans, so just bare with me. Now I find myself putting meaning into this damn drabble. Why muse? Why u do dis?

I'll try squeezing another update today. It's 2:50 in the freakin' morning here.

Comment? Vote? <3 I'm a whore for comments. <3
