Chapter 321: Surprise Walk InChapter 321: Surprise Walk In

( Luke and Leo’s POV, The Arc Ship )

The first thing that Luke did after logging out was to find and confront Leo.

In his hurry and one-directional state of mind, Luke had completely forgotten about the fact that Amanda lived alongside the duo as well, as when he got out of his room and went into the common hall where Leo usually slept on a lounge chair, he was shocked to see Leo making out with Amanda there, early in the morning.

“Holy, mother of Jesus!” Luke cursed, as he walked into the common hall only to fall flat on his butt when he saw his younger brother make out with their roommate.

Although Luke had seen the romance between the duo gradually increase every passing day, he was still not aware of when the two of them had made the final jump and decided to be this intimate.

“Brother? I- uh, ahem” Leo said, pulling away from Amanda as his face turned into a deep shade of red.

He had told Amanda that it was not safe for them to kiss this early in the morning since Luke could show up at any given moment, however, not taking no for an answer, Amanda pressed her lips against his, making Leo unable to resist kissing her back.

Now that the two of them were busted in the act, Leo went red with shame, however, Amanda did not seem to be as affected.

“Oh? Good Morning Luke–” she said brightly, as she turned and looked Luke right in the eye.

“You… two? When?” Luke asked, alternating his index finger between the two of them in shock.

“About a week ago– when I took leave from going to work.

Your little brother finally mustered the courage to admit that he likes me” Amanda said, smiling brightly as Leo’s face turned into an even deeper shade of red.

Over the past week, Leo had contemplated telling Luke about his new relationship several times, however, whenever he thought about bringing up the topic, words began to fail him as he could just not bring himself to talk freely about the issue.

Now Luke had to find out by literally walking in on the two of them making out and Leo could not be more embarrassed about how he found out.

“So… should I leave?? But how will I leave without getting ready for work? Or…. How does this work?” Luke asked, throwing random hand signs as he was completely stumped on what to do next.

The apartment that they currently lived in was not big enough for Leo and Amanda to have private space to do snu-snu, as regardless of whether they did it within Amanda’s room or the common hall, Luke was going to be able to either hear them or walk in on them randomly.

“No…. You two boys look like you have some communication issues to sort out, so I’ll be the one getting ready for work” Amanda said, winking towards Luke before turning towards Leo whom she smooched once more.

*Smooch*

Just when Leo thought his face could not get any redder than it already was, it got even redder as Amanda kissed him, as smoke literally started to visibly come out of his ears.

“So cute–” Amanda commented, before walking into the bathroom to get ready, as she left the two brothers to talk amongst themselves.

For a few awkward seconds, Luke kept staring at the red faced Leo, who in-turn kept staring at the floor, as he did not have the guts to look his brother in the eye, until eventually when Luke let out a deep sigh and decided to break the awkward silence by saying something really nice.

*Sigh*

“Hey man look, I’m happy for you….. I could see how you had a crush on Amanda for months now, and I’m very happy for you that you are a couple now.

She’s a good girl… living with her these past few months I can confidently say that mother would have approved of you dating her, should she have been here” Luke said, as listening to his words of encouragement Leo managed to look up from the floor and into Luke’s eyes.

“I’m just shocked because I’ve always looked at you as my dumb yet cute younger brother.

In my head, I genuinely think you need me to take care of you, so in my mind, I don’t see you as being anywhere near ready to have a relationship of your own.

But that’s just because I still haven’t gotten rid of my previous image of you from back on earth.

If I’m being fair, then after coming to this Arc-Ship you have matured a lot.

You are a top player.

You have worked hard to secure a spot for our mother on the next round of Arc Ship and worked hard to pay for her kidney replacement surgery as well.

The current you is an admirable young man, and I’m sure that after I have enough time to process this news properly I’ll be extremely happy for you, although I’m unable to properly show my happiness right now” Luke said, as at that moment Leo came flying in towards Luke for a hug.

Just like how it was awkward for Luke to see Leo grow up and start having a life of his own which wasn’t directly related to him.

It was awkward for Leo as well to have a serious bond with someone who wasn’t family, as in life he had only ever seriously loved Luke and his mother before today and sharing it with a stranger now was a new and challenging experience.

“It’s okay…. It’s okay…. Time for you to start acting like a man now…. We don’t want Amanda to walk out of the bathroom and see you crying on my shoulder.

Come on, man up” Luke said, as he wiped a small tear off his eyes, while encouraging Leo to not cry either.

Overall, it was a very heartwarming moment shared between the brothers, as although awkward at the start, with Luke coming clean about how he felt, the situation got much better in the end.
