Chapter 159: Calling Home

Chapter 159: Calling Home

“What the fuck? What the hell are you wearing? Why is the neckline of your dress so low? Are you a male stripper?” Luke asked Leo, looking absolutely terrified.

Looking at his naked shoulders, Leo covered his exposed parts with his hands….. making a cross as if trying to defend his honor.

“You went to meet Amanda in that? Seriously?” Luke asked Leo, sounding disappointed as Leo opened and closed his mouth several times, but no words would come out of it.

*Sigh*

Sighing, Leo eventually relented as he said “Give me a second”.

Going to a nearby alley he quickly changed into the baggy jeans and baggy designer t-shirt as Luke gave him a thumbs up sign when he returned.

“Now you look like a decent man! Atta boy” Luke said, slapping Leo on the back as he intimately put a hand around his brother’s shoulder.

**********

Ben had no idea that Luke was Leo’s brother, from his perspective, Leo had just gone on a date with his female lover, however, after finishing his date with a female lover, he went on to meet a dude?

That dude also addressed him affectionately as if he knew him since ages, ordering him around like a boss and even wrapping a hand around his back…..

‘No..no….nooooo…’ thought Ben as he pulled at his cheeks.

He did not want to believe what his mind was trying to tell him, however, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense to him.

‘My disciple is playing both sides? The woman wasn’t enough so he has a boyfriend as well?

And he’s a beta in this relationship as well?’ Ben wondered as he felt like his brain was ready to crash at this point.

He knew that Leo was too good of a disciple to be real.

Such talent….

Such obedience…..

Ben thought he struck the goldmine with this one, however, it just turned out that while Leo was the perfect student, his flaw lay in his dating life.

‘Well the times are changing….. this sort of stuff is no longer punishable by law, however, this blatant shamelessness of dating two individuals at once does still bother me’ Ben thought, as he kept protecting Leo through the second half of his date albeit begrudgingly.

*************

( Leo’s POV )

As Leo and Luke entered the MP exchange store, Leo could notice from the corner of his eye how Ben suddenly glitched out and for a moment seemed to forget where he was.

It was a sudden reaction, as he could not follow Leo into this building, reminding Leo that in the end, this world was a game, no matter how realistic it looked.

Within the MP exchange store, the hustle and bustle was still as low as the first time Leo visited as soon the brothers were able to find a quiet booth to make a call from.

“Let me be the one to pay-” Leo suggested, however, Luke scoffed and patted him on the head.

“Maybe some other day” he said, as he became the one to pick up the phone.

“Operator speaking, what can I do for you today….?” said a familiar sounding voice from the other side of the phone as Luke cleared his throat and replied “We need to make a video call to earth, requesting to speak to one particular Elena Skyshard, living in Washington DC, street no 423”

“You will have to pay a cost of 2MP for this call service, plus an additional fee of 50MP per minute the call drags on for. The cost is deducted per sixty seconds, so if you terminate the call at 61 seconds, it will still cost you 100 MP” The operator said, as Luke nodded his head and requested that the connection be made anyhow.

Both Leo and Luke felt their hearts beating faster when the caller tune began to play and a blank screen was displayed before their eyes, as the anticipation of getting to talk to their mother after such a long time made the two brothers bubble up with ecstasy.

“Smile-” Luke reminded Leo as both the brothers put on a smile waiting for the call to connect to Earth, and their mum to see them for the first time in months.

***************

( Back on Earth, Elena’s POV )

*TRRING TRRING, You got a space call!*

*TRRING TRRING, You got a space call!*

A loud noise shook up the entire Skyshard residence as Elena was shocked to see a floating screen in the middle of her living room, popping up out of nowhere.

She already knew that there were only two people in the entire universe, who would ever give her a space call, as through nervous fingers she pressed the ‘Green’ floating call accept icon available.

*Twua*

The space call connected and immediately the face of two goofy smiling Skyshard brothers was available for Elena to see.

“Oh my god…. Oh my god….b-boyss” Elena said, unable to control her excitement as tears came flooding out of her eyes.

Uptil now she had no idea that space calls were something that were even possible, as in her heart she had accepted the fact that she would never be able to see her children again, however, now they were calling her!

“Hey ma-” said Luke, his voice gentle as he cracked up as well looking at Elena cry.

“L-luke, my boy… Leo! My baby!” Elena said, crying profusely as she showed a face full of genuine joy that only a mother could show.

On the other side, Luke and Leo teared up looking at her make this face as well as the brothers tried their hardest to not shed a tear and look happy, but failed.

How could they not cry?

They had missed Elena equally as much as well.

“Elena? What happened, why are you crying?” Said a male voice in the background as a tall man walked into the video frame.
