[What, Leo has to ask, had he done to piss the universe off so much.
Though that may be exaggerating a bit. Niles wasn't that unpleasant and his email had been... maybe even a little charming (though Leo hadn't replied to it). But there was something about the man you had a one night stand with plopping down next to you in class that was unsettling.
Especially since Leo is coming to the realization that Niles isn't nearly the stranger he initially thought he was.]
[ Niles can't help but laugh a little as he sets his bag down, more or less given the permission to settle in comfortably for the next hour-ish next to the cute boy he fucked over the weekend and is now fumbling to speak. Adorable. ]
[Leo's chanting in his head to get it together, and if tensing his shoulders and pulling them in to himself thus making himself as small as possible is keeping it together, then he's doing a great job.
If not, then, ah well.
He can at least gather his words some.] You could say that. I've never seen you in this class before.
[ Niles gestures behind them with a little wave of his hand. ] I usually sit in the back, but the view here's nice too.
[ Whether that's a legitimate statement or an attempt to flirt, Niles won't let Leo think on that for long. ] I am glad to see you're in one piece, though... no mishaps on the way home?
[ A light chuckle, mostly under his breath. ] I'm glad to hear it.
[ Niles goes quiet for a bit, focusing on getting the rest of his stuff for class out while the professor finishes setting up whatever slideshow they have prepared for the lecture. He's not just a horny student here to fuck pretty people, promise!
But just before the professor calls for everyone's attention, he turns to Leo again. ] Listen. Perhaps you'd rather not hear it, but I'm sorry about the other night. I- [ He cuts himself off there. No. No nasty comments. That's what made him leave last time. ] Can I make it up to you somehow? A coffee, perhaps?
[At that point, he very determinedly gives his whole attention to what the professor is putting on the board.
He knows he wont be so lucky to get rid of Niles easily, especially since a small nagging part of his brain is actually considering taking Niles up on that coffee. But this is the end of it for now...]

But c'mon Leo. Think of something smart. Don't give this guy more of what he wants.]
Hm. The bushes were spared.
