Arthur's face bloomed red at Leon's seriousness. "I-I, umm, w-why is this important?" he floundered and tugged at his collar shirt nervously.
"He's a virgin, darling."
Arthur clammed up and looked quickly at Nikolai, who gave him a bemused look while swirling his food with his fork. "Wh-What?"
"Oh don't give me that look, dearie. I've been around enough virgins to know what they're like." the Sin laughed lightly. "And you absolutely scream 'sex deprived'."

"You poor thing!" Leon reached out for Arthur's hand, patting it. "Jesus, kid, how've you lasted? I mean, I waited for years after your age and almost exploded!" The teacher turned to Nikolai, determined expression on his face. "Nikolai, we need to get him laid, and fast. If he goes on like this into college, he'll lose all confidence and end up like me before I met you: afraid, stuttering, unable to talk to anyone. He NEEDS to pop his cherry." His voice, though low, was urgent, plans already circulating. "Don't worry, Arthur, if anyone can get you in bed with someone, Nikolai can."

Nikolai gave Leon an 'I don't want to do anything' look but sighed and examined Arthur carefully. "Mmm... I'm sure Kiyaka wouldn't mind taking your virginity, darling." he noted while scratching his chin.
Arthur tensed. "The principal?"
The Sin nodded. "I'm sure you're aware of her reputation, yes? She'd gladly take a student with her. I'd offer, myself, but there are many factors stopping me from that." he smirked and briefly glanced at Leon before refocusing on him. "Yes, she'd certainly take care of you... for a while. I hear she's quite kinky~" he chuckled, much to the boy's dismay.

"Great idea!" He tugged out his phone, pulling up a picture of Kiyaka and holding it up for Arthur to see. Kiyaka sat on the couch, hair in a loose bun and short business skirt crawling up her thigh. Honestly, she looked more like a model than a headmistress. Leon pulled his phone back, grinning. "God, this is great. It's like having everything back to normal again." His grin suddenly disappeared as he was reminded of his past. "That reminds me. Did you ever go back to visit their... their graves again? I left immediately after they were buried so..."

"N-No! Please, you don't need to-" Arthur stopped talking when he heard Leon's quiet voice. His mouth closed and something distant appeared in his eyes. "I..." He gulped and sank back in his seat, looking away. "Not anymore. I know they wouldn't want me to linger on them." he said quietly.
Nikolai glanced back and forth between the two. Dear him, this was awkward, but someone had to say something. "Who's 'they', dearie?" he asked.

"My family," said Leon, staring at the table. "After they died, I left for college and never went back. It was the last time I ever saw Arthur and Shouji, actually. I'm pretty sure that was what set Shouji off." He sighed, looking back up at Nikolai. "I don't think I ever really told you about the, did I?"

Oh. Nikolai closed his mouth, suddenly feeling rather foolish. He felt like he poked at a very touchy subject - and, frankly, he was - but whether he was treading on dangerous ground or not, he didn't know. Was it okay to have Leon explain any further? He didn't look too broken up about it, but it was certainly killing the mood.
"No, you haven't." the Sin replied in an even gentler tone. "But I'd rather you not tell me now, darling. This isn't the time to be upset. You can tell me later, hmm?"
"I'm surprised you don't know." Arthur intervened, giving Nikolai a strange stare. "I mean, it's only right for Leon's partner to know everything about him, right?"
Nikolai gave Arthur a sharp glare. The last thing he needed was another nuisance to try and make him doubt his Leon. "Oh hush, dearie, there are some things he doesn't know about me, either. My own parents, for example." He turned to Leon and deadpanned. "There's not really much to talk about, I'm afraid. They were... Russian, if that seems right."

"It's not like I was never going to tell you, Nikolai," he tried to explained, turning to him and taking his hand. "It just never seemed like the right time. I mean, first I thought you were going to leave me, then I died, then you died, it was all too much and too fast. I never really could find the moment to tell you." He tried to smile at Nikolai's deadpan, chuckling a little. "I understand. Mine were Oklahomian." With a light laugh, he released Nikolai's hand and exhaled through his nose. "I'll tell you about them later tonight, if you'll tell me about yours. Deal?"

Nikolai paused then let out a small sigh and smiled tiredly to the bigger male. "Very well, dearie. We'll talk about it over drinks." he said with a smirk in his lime green eyes. Oh yes, he was planning on a shot of redemption tonight. Among other things.
Meanwhile, Arthur seemed to glare at his food. He pulled out his phone and checked the time, hiding a sigh of relief when he saw the clock. "Uh, Leon?" he said and held up his phone for him to see. "We have to get going or else I'll be late for class again."

"Is it really that late?" he asked, sitting up straight and glancing at his watch. "Damn, you're right. Come on." After tossing the money onto the table, Leon stood and helped Nikolai stand, a gentleman as always. "What's your next class, kiddo?"

"Advanced World Literature." Arthur replied while getting up by himself. "Do you know what the teacher's like?"

"Not really," shrugged Leon, taking his coat and settling it over Nikolai's shoulders. "I don't really talk to any of the teachers anymore. I mean, I say hello in the lounge, but not much more than that."

"It's not like there are many teachers to speak with to begin with." Nikolai added while tugging the coat on closer until he was enveloped in warmth. "Many have quit, some disappeared. Really, it's a disaster. If they ask me to substitute one more class then I'm afraid I'll be retiring early." he sighed exasperatingly.
Arthur chuckled, "I guess I'll be figuring my teacher out the old fashioned way then." He held the door open for both teachers.

"Knowing how lazy you are, I'm shocked you haven't retired already," teased Leon, one hand on the small of Nikolai's as he led the teacher to the car. Looking back to Arthur, he smiled brilliantly. "Let's do this again sometime, just you and me. Why don't you come over to our place tonight?"

"Mmm, that reminds me, I won't be home tonight, dearie. I'm not in charge of Hell anymore, but they need to speak with me about something. A different hierarchy or something like that, I wasn't really listening." Nikolai said with a lazy wave of his hand.
Arthur looked at Nikolai then at Leon, smiling lightly. "Yeah, that sounds good. Should I come by after class?" he asked.
