Leo dozed on and off as the final minutes of his mundane classes ticked away into completion. He was, as always, hopelessly bored. Being one of the few super-genius level students at Liuena had a few perks, namely, he never needed to study for class. It was times like these, however, where he truly realized how different he was from everyone. The first quarter of the school year was well underway, and the regular students were hard at work, doing everything in their power to make the grade. Leo slept through most of his classes. It wasn't that the material wasn't interesting, far from it. Introductory Calculus, was quite essential in most physics, where Leo was quite solidly secured, due to several factors, but let's skip that for now. That being said, Leo had mastered this material by the time he was ten. The only way Leo could think to describe it, would be like picking up the oversized, and brightly colored toys of your childhood, only to find you didn't want to play Cowboys and Indians any more, further, the mere idea repulsed you. "This is child's play..." Leo whispered hazily to himself. The fact that his brother was, once again, systematically separated from him in literally every class was just icing on Leo's boredom cake. There would be no pranks to distract him from the ennui. Instead, he was forced to bear the brunt of it, one agonizing second at a time.
When it seemed like Leo would truly die of boredom, the buzzer rang, and Leo flew down the hallways. Amaimon the hound, Leo's stoic and icy demon, followed closely behind. Even though he was invisible to the average passerby, Amaimon had been so still in class, you would have thought him a statue, and paid him no mind at all. With his master's doldrums relieved, Amaimon snapped to attention, all the while keeping his eyes and ears out for trouble, namely, Leo's brother, Vergil.
Only moments before his class had ended, Leo had been, very nearly, sound asleep in his chair. The teacher's monotone voice, coupled with Leo's mastery of the subject, the perfect seventy degree ambient air temperature, and the immediate following of calculus from lunch, made for virtually perfect sleeping conditions. "Truly, a terrifying opponent.. For a lesser student..." Leo mused, his eyes sinking ever lower. Just before they shut entirely, Leo's eyes snapped open, and he sat bolt upright. While voices in one's head were usually never a good sign, in the case of Leo and Vergil, it simply meant the brothers were within close enough range to communicate telepathically.
"Leo, I know what we can do today that's gonna be really fun, but I've got no time to tell you. Just sneak out of class, we need to talk. Meet me at the door to Dad's classroom in a few minutes?"
Without a second thought, Leo packed his things, mumbled, "bathroom..." at his teacher, and stood to leave, walking calmly out the teacher's door, and then booking it as soon as the door had shut behind him. Conveniently, this occurred directly at the moment when the buzzer for fourth period had rung, masking Leo's frantic footsteps.
After blitzing down the hallway, his little blue demon in tow, Leo finally managed to make it to his father's room, the door hanging wide open. Leo sighed, and cautiously, he tiptoed inside. "I'm here Vergil-onii-chan..." Leo said softly, a lazy smile on his face. After entering, Leo sidled up to his brother and gave him a quick hug, smiling as his brother's familiar scent washed over him. As for the way in which Leo addressed his brother, when he was little, Leo had learned that phrase from the shows his father watched, and that the boys themselves had come to love. The suffix itself meant something along the lines of, "dearest brother," and Leo was quite fond of using it to address Vergil.
Keeping his voice low, an attempt at stealth underway, Leo continued. "Ohhh... Dad's gonna flip when he sees you picked the lock on his door... Anyways, what's this bright idea of yours?"
