Note: I just want to remind that Leo has no problems with his own pheromones, he just cannot stand other peoples'. Also thank you for the new subscriptions; I always keep wondering if this story is going good or not.

When Leo left the Student Health Center, Cecil was waiting for him. Ruben and Jo wanted to come, but they had another class. “How are you feeling?” Cecil asked, handing over Leo’s backpack. 

Leo grabbed his backpack, “Better. Do you have another class?” 

“My last one canceled.” 

“Do you need a ride home, or will you wait for Ruben and Jo?” Because Cecil, Ruben, and Jo lived nearby each other, Jo and Cecil always rode with Ruben. Even though he asked this question, he knew what Cecil would decide. 

“If you don’t mind,” Cecil answered. Luckily, he remembered not to push Leo too far anymore and regularly wore a scent blocker. So, even though Leo was not wearing a mask and had an attack, he wouldn’t mind taking Cecil home.

“Okay, let’s go.” 

They walked to Leo’s car in silence, not saying anything, even when they entered the car and drove off. As they got closer to Cecil’s place, Cecil finally spoke. “Leo, would you tell me if you had feelings for someone?” 

“Why are you asking this?” 

“I only want to know.” 

Leo sighed. “Nothing would change whether I had feelings for someone or not. Cecil, we’ve been through this many times before. I wish you could drop these feelings for me.” 

Cecil bit his lip, wanting to cry. “Leo, you act like this is easy. Feelings are nothing you can stop at the drop of a hat; what do you want me to do?” 

“To stop pushing. I can understand that feelings are something no one can stop, but saying ‘no’ many times does mean something.” 

They were quiet after that; Cecil didn’t have the will to continue. When they reached Cecil’s place, Leo parked and unlocked the doors. “I will see you on Starlight Journey tomorrow. Nathaniel wants to conquer the Forest Maiden.” 

Instead of getting out, Cecil grabbed Leo’s sleeve, causing him to face him. “I am sorry, just don’t walk away from me.” 

“I never said I would, Cecil. But, you need to respect my answer.” 

“I know. I know.” Cecil wanted to, but he couldn’t stop himself from clinging to a tiny hope—hope of Leo feeling something for him one day. 

“Then, show me you do.” 

Cecil lingered before letting go and unlocking the door. “Talk to you later.”  He closed the door behind him, stopping himself from looking back as he walked to his door. Leo watched him briefly, ensuring he entered his place before driving home. 

When Leo returned home, he took a shower and brushed his teeth before calling Niko. He felt gross after everything that happened at school. 

The phone didn’t ring long when Niko picked up. 

“I am home.” Leo greeted. He walked into his room after grabbing something to drink and a snack. 

“What are you doing right now?” Niko asked as Leo heard rustling on the other side. 

“I grabbed myself something to drink and snack on while I rest in bed.” Leo lay down, turning on the TV while putting his phone on speaker and setting it beside him. 

“Hmm, I will let you eat first before telling you how I can help you relax.”

“How are you going to help me relax?”  

“Wait, baby, I will let you know soon.” 

Leo still blushed every time Niko called him ‘baby.’ 

They talked for a while as Leo ate. When he finished, he let Niko know. 

“Leo, I want us to set a safe word.” 

“A safe word?” Leo confusedly asked. 

“Yes. If I ever take anything too far, I want you to use the safe word, okay. You have to promise me that you will remember to use it.” 

Leo didn’t fully understand why Niko wanted to use a safe word, but he agreed, trusting him, “Okay, I promise.” 

“The word is aversion. Say it back to me.” 

“Aversion.” 

“Good boy, remember the word.” 

Leo bit his cheek, trying to calm down. His fingers slightly rubbed against his pajama pants as he felt restless. 

“Are you still lying down?” Niko asked, resting on his bed as his fingers rubbed against a button on his shirt. 

“Yes.” 

“Yes, what?” 

“Yes, sir.” They weren’t doing anything, but Leo felt breathless. His fingers started gripping his pants, wrinkling them as he felt a tightness returning. 

Niko softly chuckled, causing Leo’s ears to burn. The phone wasn’t near his ears, but Niko’s voice still sounded close, filling the bedroom. Niko popped one button out of the hole on his shirt while asking, “What are you wearing? Describe it for me.” 

Leo glanced down at his pajamas. “A button-up satin short-sleeve shirt and satin pants. They are a pajama set.” 

“Hmm, and under?” 

“What?” Leo choked, wondering if he heard Niko right. 

“Tell me, baby, what are you wearing under your pajamas?” 

“I,” Leo swallowed, digging his nails into his pants and skin, “I am not wearing anything under.” Most of the time, when Leo is home, he doesn’t wear underwear because he feels too lazy. 

“Oh,” Niko exhaled, “how naughty. Do you always go without underwear? Do you enjoy being bare?” 

“I am too lazy sometimes.” 

“Lazy? I hope you are not too lazy to do something for me?” 

“What do you want me to do?” 

“I want you to take your hand and slowly caress your neck. Start from near your ear and stop towards your collarbone. I want you to do it three times.” Niko took apart another button on his shirt, softly rubbing his collarbone. 

Leo followed Niko’s instructions, slowly moving his hand as Niko wanted. His breath hitched, feeling hot; he couldn’t understand why his throat felt sensitive. Hearing Leo’s breath hitch, Niko rubbed his finger across his bottom lip. If only I could see him. Niko wished he had done a video call, but didn’t want to push Leo too fast. These things took time. 

“Has it been three times?” Niko asked. 

“Yes, sir.” Leo sighed, his hand resting at his collarbone, not moving as he waited for what Niko wanted him to do next. 

He is so perfect. Niko thought. “How many buttons does your shirt have?” 

Leo glanced down, “Six.” 

“I want you to unbutton your shirt for me and count after each one you unbutton. And move slowly, I don’t want you going fast, baby.” 

Leo started slowly unbuttoning his shirt: 

“One.” 

“Two.” 

“Three.” Leo was breathing harder when he heard Niko groaning over the phone. 

“Four.” His body was on fire as his pheromones grew, filling the room. 

“Five.” Leo’s fingers trembled as he almost started whispering. He never realized how simulating counting out loud could be, especially when he could hear Niko’s breath on the other end. 

“Six.” When the last one came off, Leo’s heart was in overdrive. 

“I finished, sir.” 

“Fuck,” Niko grunted, “I can hear you count all day, baby.” Niko’s hand moved towards his waist band, tapping against it. “I want you to caress your chest, but don’t touch your nipples, rub around them. Can you do that for me?” 

“Yes.” Leo touched his chest, slowly running his fingers across it. He never touched his nipples, rubbing his fingers around them. He gasped, feeling a shock course through him. Leo never touched himself in this way, due to never feeling desire. But Niko changed everything. Every feeling was new to him. 

“Move your hand up and down your stomach, and tell me how you feel.” Niko slipped his hand into his pants, rubbing the bulge in his underwear. His voice started to get breathless and deep. 

Leo moved his hand down, following what Niko instructed. He tilted his head back, closing his eyes as he groaned. “I feel good. I feel weird. It is something I never felt before.” 

“Never?” Niko almost growled, loving that he was the only one to hear Leo this way. 

“No,” Leo shook his head, “never.” 

“So good; so perfect for me.” Niko moaned as he grabbed himself, feeling how damp and tight his underwear was. “Baby, you don’t know what you do to me. Touch your nipples. I want you to rub and pinch them.” 

Leo rubbed a circle around his nipples as he sighed in pleasure before pinching and pulling them. “Ah.” Leo softly moaned, feeling himself twitched. He rubbed his knees together, wanting to slip his hands inside his pants, but Niko hasn’t told him to yet. He tried to be good for him. 

Niko reached in his underwear, pulling himself out as he started rubbing up and down. His hands were slightly dry, but it didn’t stop his movements at all. Listening to Leo turned him on too much. “That’s it baby, you are doing so well. Do you want to touch yourself? Do you think you earned it.” Niko groaned, tilting his head to the side, closer to his phone. 

“Yes. Please, sir, can I?” Leo begged, still playing with his redden nipples as Niko hasn’t told him to stop. His body felt like someone threw him into open flames. 

“Then do it, touch yourself for me.” 

Leo didn’t need to be told twice. His hand quickly reached inside his pants, grabbing his throbbing, weeping member. He practically whined from the touch, sloppily rubbing himself. He has never touched his member like this before; never feeling the need to. But now, he couldn’t stop. “N-Niko.” He whimpered. “Do I move fast or slow?” 

“Fuck, baby, you really know how to please me.” Niko began moving his hand faster, rubbing a finger over his tip. “Fast. I want you to match with me, baby.” 

Leo followed. 

Moans filled the room on both sides of the phone as Niko continued to talk to Leo through it all. Leo brokenly moaned, “I am so close.” 

“Not yet. Don’t come yet.” 

“Please,” Leo begged, his eyes watering as he held himself tighter, trying to stop himself from coming without permission. 

“Be good, baby. I am almost there. I want you to come with me.” Niko could hear the whining in Leo’s tone, wishing he was there with him. I wonder how much he will cry if I hold out. He thought, almost causing himself to come right there. He knew Leo’s crying face would be beautiful. 

“Niko, sir. Niko, please.” Leo kept begging, feeling the precum dripping on his hand. He rubbed against his tip, almost pressing down on it to hold himself. But the move sent his nerves on fire, nearly making him lose it. Tears slipped down his face, “Please, please, please.” 

Hearing Leo beg and cry over the phone cause Niko to reach his end. “Come for me.” He practically growled as he climaxed.

Leo followed right after him, spilling all over his hand and pajamas. When there was nothing left, he let go while breathing hard. He could not believe what he has done with Niko. 

“Baby, tell me, how do you feel?” 

“I still feel weird, but also relaxed like you promised.” Leo reached over for a napkin to wipe his hands; although he is going to have to change due to some landing on his clothes. 

“Why do you still feel weird?” Niko asked; he wanted to ensure Leo was left with positive feelings. 

“It is because I have never done anything like this; all of this is still so new to me.” 

“I understand, but you don’t have to feel weird about it, it is normal, I promise. Is it something you would like to try again?” 

Leo blushed while softly answering, “Maybe.” 

“We can if you want, as long as you are okay with this. I am sorry I didn’t give you a choice on wanting to do this in the first place.” Niko apologized. 

Leo shook his head, even though Niko couldn’t see it. “It is okay. If I didn’t want it, I would have said something.” He bit his lip before shyly adding, “I would have used the safe word.” 

Niko chuckled, wondering how he went about his life without meeting someone as perfect as Leo. “Okay. You probably made a mess, why don’t you clean up and we can talk later on, okay?” 

“Okay. I will talk to you later.” Leo hung up the phone. His hand rubbed on a clean part of his pants, slightly trembling. He still couldn’t believe what happened. He and Niko are moving to a path that scared, worried, and excited him. 

Do I want to continue this? Leo thought, biting his lip. 

He didn’t know, but he did know that everything felt good and he wouldn’t stop it if it did happen again. 

And secretly, he hoped it did.
