Chapter 29: 29. Leo's Problem
Two individuals rode black bikes with 'police' written on them in white letters while driving towards the forest area.
These two individuals were Dexter and Leo. Although Leo wasn't too happy that he was going to explore with Dexter alone, he didn't have a choice.
Dexter sighed as he focused on riding the bike as he remembered what colonel Chapman said this morning.
...
Dexter woke up early as usual today and warmed up a little, doing his daily exercises to make sure he stays in shape.
Beatrice arrived that time and took Rina and Zain away to find more people to train while telling him and Leo to meet the colonel.
The guards at the door minded themselves and didn't block Dexter or Leo as they knew that both of them were part of the exploration team.
Besides, the second guy remembered the slap he recieved before so he made sure to act respectful.
When they got to the colonel's living room they saw him in a pajama and he was drinking coffee.
Weird, cause he can't fight in it.
"So. It looks like you guys would have to do the exploration today. Chapman and his men went into Heaven's tower and he also planned to get information from the fairy so he's going to take some time."
When Leo heard this he immediately looked at Dexter with furrowed brows. Dexter saw this at the corner of his eyes and he sighed as he knew that today would be very long.
"Don't go too deep into the forest, I think you guys should just explore the external Periphery."
...
That's how Dexter and Leo ended up in this situation, riding towards the forest on top of police bikes.
'I never rode a bike before. This one is quite easy to control though.' Dexter thought as he then silently rode his bike while enjoying being able to feel the sun normally and the wind brushing against his face.
Leo and Dexter stopped at a building which wasn't far away from their destination, it was just twenty metres away from the forest.
They both parked their bikes there without saying a thing to each other and Leo walked ahead of Dexter with a cold expression on his face.
"Still nothing." Dexter sighed as he sat on a tree branch and breathed tiredly.
Leo sat down beside him nervously.
"Do you plan to tell her?" Leo asked Dexter and he understood what Leo meant by that.
"I'm not a snitch." Dexter replied calmly as he looked around them with his advanced eyesight.
"Oh." Leo smiled for the first time in a while.
"You hurt her that time she chased after you." Dexter said a while later and Leo looked at him.
"I just didn't want her to get too close to you. The way you guys flirted that night made me feel unnoticed and pushed away." Leo revealed and Dexter was shocked at how the insecure, cold, handsome Leo was talking to him very normally right now.
"Don't worry. I have no plans of getting intimate with her. I have a girlfriend out there somewhere." Dexter assured Leo and Leo looked at him with a smile, hearing that Dexter already had a girlfriend.
"That's nice. But I still don't trust your words." Leo said.
"How about this..." Dexter said and Leo looked at him. "I can help you get her. In return you stop hating me."
"I don't hate you. Just a little jealousy here and there." Leo shrugged.
'Jealousy? Those death glares don't look like they were caused by Jealousy?' Dexter wished that Leo could see himself when he was giving Dexter a death glare.
"And you can help me get her? How?" Leo doubted Dexter's words.
"I know a lot about girls and I'm confident that I can link you up." Dexter smirked and Leo still doubted it as Rina was naive about a lot of things.
*ROAARRR...!!!*
A loud roar interrupted their discussion and then they saw a large monster come out from a thick bunch of trees.
Dexter's eyes shone widely as they finally found something interesting.
'A titan.'
