Chapter 2: Planning
P.O.V. [Name]
I sighed as I looked at the female in front of me. "Are you sure?" Esdeath once again asked as she looked at me.
"Yes," I once again said as I looked at the female in front of me. A few moments of awkward silence then passed and Esdeath once again looked at me.
"Are you sure?" Esdeath asked as she looked at me. I sighed once again hearing this question and nodded.
"Yes," I said as I pinched the ridge of my nose now starting to become annoyed with how often she was asking the question. Another awkward silence then passed between us this time the silence now much longer than before.
"Okay," Esdeath said as she closed her eyes. I was a bit surprised hearing this and looked at the female in front of me. "But I'd like to speak with her first," Esdeath said as she looked at me. I was a bit surprised hearing this but nodded. I then stood up and walked out of the room and turned to see Leone leaning against the wall beside the door.
When she saw me she stood up and looked at me. "She wants to talk to you," I said and she walked over to me and I could tell that she was nervous. I then took both of her hands in mind and she placed forehead on mine. "I'm sure everything will be fine," I said trying to reassure her and she nodded.
She then walked in and sat across from Esdeath. I could tell that Esdeath was more serious with her and as a result she gave off a strange feeling that almost felt like bloodlust. I then walked up behind Leone and placed a hand on her shoulder trying to be reassuring. Leone then sighed and looked at the blue haired female in front of us.
"So what can you tell me about Night Raid?" Esdeath asked as she looked at Leone.
"Well, I can tell you a lot. I guess I should start with who the leader is," Leone said as she looked at the female in front of her. Esdeath's bloodlust seemed to lessen hearing this and she nodded as she reached to her side and pulled out a wanted poster of the female.
"I'm sure you're familiar with our wanted posters," Esdeath said as she slid it forward. Leone nodded and picked up the poster.
"Yeah, but you might want to update the posters, she has an eyepatch," Leone said as she slid the poster back to her. Esdeath once again smiled and her blood lust almost seemed to completely fade away hearing this.
"I want as much information as you can provide about each of the members as you possibly can," Esdeath said as she looked at the female. Leone nodded and begin to list off everything she knew about the other members. Their names, imperial arm, abilities, trumps cards, fighting style, she even went as far as to reveal some personal information about the other members that she thought we could exploit.
Esdeath smiled hearing this and looked at Leone. "Assuming what you've told us is true. Then you're going to make a great addition to the empire," Esdeath said as he looked at the blonde female in front of her. Leone nodded hearing this and I watched as Esdeath stood up and looked at the blonde.
Then for a moment I saw Leone hide the faintest of smiles. "I'm well aware of the reason you're here, so it shouldn't bother you when I tell you that you'll be sharing a room with [Name]," Esdeath said as she walked out of the room. After she did Leone stood up and hugged me wrapping both her arms around my neck.
I smiled when she did and held her close to me. "See, I told you there was nothing to worry about," I said as I looked at the blonde female in front of me. Leone didn't say anything hearing this and instead just continued to nuzzle into me. After a few moments had passed Leone stopped hugging me and looks at me.
"So besides her are there any other girls on this team?" Leone asked as she looked at me. I nodded hearing this and looked at her.
"Yeah, two of them, but I wouldn't worry about them. They have nothing on you," I said as I looked at Leone, and as soon as I said this she smiled.
"Good, now let's go. She said I'd be sleeping with you so show me our new room," Leone said as she looked at me and I nodded. We then began to walk down the hall with Leone holding my hand as we did. "Also is anyone's room near ours?" Leone asked as she looked at me.
"Yeah, Wave's room is by our but I wouldn't worry about him. I don't think he'll mind," I said as I looked at her and she nodded. We continued down the hall for a few minutes before we stopped in front of our room. I then opened the door and walked into it.
"This is our room, I know it's not much but it's ours," I said as I looked at the somewhat empty room. Leone nodded and began to walk around the room.
"Well at least you kept it clean," Leone said as she looked around the room. I smiled slightly hearing this and nodded. Leone then walked over to our bed and looked at the picture that had of her beside my bed. She then picked it up and looked at it for a moment before she turned back to look at me.
"Oddly enough I have one of you by my bed as well," Leone said as she looked at me. I blushed slightly hearing this and scratched the back of my head. I wasn't exactly sure how to take that but I assumed she meant it as a compliment so if nothing else that's a good thing. I felt my face heat up slightly and began to walk away.
However before I could walk away I felt Leone grab my hand. "Where do you think you're going?" Leone asked as she looked at me.
"I was going to try and find an extra cover," I said as I looked at her. Before I had the time to say anything Leone pulled me onto the bed and pressed my head into her breasts. "Aren't you going to lay with me?" Leone asked in a teasing voice. I smiled hearing this and decided to lay with her. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous about what could have happened during my talk with Esdeath. It was very possible that we could have ended up as a target for both Night Raid and the empire.
"I don't mind sharing a cover with you. After all it's not like we haven't slept together before," Leone said as she looked at me. I smiled hearing this and nodded.
"I suppose that's true," I said as I looked at the female in front of me. I then closed my eyes and we stayed silent for almost an hour.
"So what do you think she'll have us do first now that I've told her everything about Night Raid?" Leone asked as she continued to stroke the back of my head. I'm sure she wants to know what her plans are so that she can mentally prepare herself for whatever Esdeath had planned. After all if nothing else I'm sure she at least wants some idea of which order her friends are going to die.
"I don't know," I answered honestly. "Most of us typically don't know the plan until just a few minutes before the attack. Some times I don't think she really has a plan and she sort of hopes for the best. Although if that were the case then I'm sure that we would have suffered more casualties than we have but even so," I said I looked into her. I then looked up at her to make sure that she was okay.
She seemed a bit distressed so I pulled myself away from her breasts and looked at her. I then reached up to touch her face and began to gently stroke her. "I'm sure everything will be fine," I said as I tried to give her a reassuring smile. "I know it must have been difficult to leave your friends like that but don't worry. I'll take care of you and make sure everything will be okay from now," I said as I looked down at her.
She shifted under me hearing this and looked at me. "You promise?" She asked as she looked at me. I smiled and nodded hearing this. This seems to really have her on edge, I need to do something to let her know everything is going to be fine, and I think I know just how to do that. I then reached to my side and opened the first drawer before pulling out a small black box.
"I actually planned on doing this in a really romantic way. I even had this big speech planned about how much you mean to me, but I think now would be a better time. Leone-" I began and before I could finish she lunged towards me and once again began to press my head into her breasts. "Of course!" She said as she looked at me. I smiled hearing this and hugged her. She answered me before I even to finish as
She then backed away and began to wipe her tears away. "Sorry! Sorry! I know I shouldn't cry it's just I'm so happy. You sort of caught me off guard," She said with a bright smile as she tried to wave her hands rather dismissively. She then looked at me with a smile now seeming a bit more impatient. "I'll let you ask properly this time, so hurry up!" Leone said as she looked at me. I nodded hearing this and opened the small box in front of her.
"Leone will you marry me?" I asked as I looked at her.
"YES!" She said much louder than before as she once again hugged me. I laughed slightly hearing this and she nuzzled herself against me. A few moments then passed before she backed away slightly and she pressed her lips against mine. I quickly relaxed into the kiss and wrapped my arms around her waist to deepen the kiss.
She then broke the kiss and looked at me with a smile. "S-so about the ring?" I asked as I held up the ring.
"R-right," She said as she moved back slightly still straddling me. I then pulled the ring out of the box and placed it on her finger. She then began to lay on top of me and nuzzled herself against me. She didn't seem to interested in the ring to be honest but then again I don't think that's a bad thing. I'm sure she'll admire it later when she's alone and has the time to do so.
"To think for a long time I actually thought that you'd say no," I said as I looked at her. I heard a slight chuckle hearing this and she looked up at me.
"How could I ever say no to you?" She asked as she closed her eyes. When she did I smiled and looked at her for a few moments before closing my eyes as well. The real question is how did I get lucky enough to be with someone as amazing as her.
