Four pairs of legs were shaking in the gym today, two from excitement, two from fatigue.

The latter two belonged to a Luxio and a Gardevoir. Gasping and panting, the two were struggling to not collapse from exhaustion, overwhelmed by the sensations coming from their groins. With her hands on his chest, every thrust, every bounce, every roll of her hips only served to further them toward a wonderful crescendo, a crescendo that only the female got to experience.

The former two belonged to Blair and Lexie. Slowly but surely arriving at their own crescendos, the Lopunny and Zeraora were starting to get out of breath, though less so than the pair fucking in front of them. They were also slightly disappointed. Crushing Leo's balls was a helluva lot of fun, but they had been dying to have the male cover (and/or fill) them with his semen. While their pace hadn't lessened since they started, their legs were starting to get sore, and would soon need a break.

The only pair of legs not shaking belonged to the older Beedrill, silent except for the occasional command for Lexie to correct her aim, or for Blair to ease up the pressure a bit. Years of breaking testicles had made her an expert in knowing the limits of males. She wished she still had the enthusiasm of her friends when it came to busting balls, but once you'd seen (or felt) dozens of pairs pop, it became almost boring. As such, she was currently the only female 'mon in the room not smiling. Besides, getting horny would make her distracted, which ran the risk of the gals accidentally going over his limits and breaking something. Despite her earlier threat to the Luxio, she didn't really want to see him get castrated, so she had to stay focused.

So, carefully observing the two cyan spheres in front of her, she watched as they flattened under her friend's feet. Keeping them evenly crushed was essential. If one was even slightly more squishy than its brother, it would be targeted by his opponents.

Unfortunately, the gals were a little too overeager, and became almost competitive in their stomping, making Abby's job harder. Lexie at least had a decent rhythm, but the Lopunny was all over the place. Her constant grinding didn't give his right nut a chance to re-inflate even slightly.

Unlike the Zeraora, who was consistently hitting his kitten-maker dead center, the ball of Blair's foot pressed down onto the edges of Leo's testicle. The uneven pressure was dangerous and necessitated an occasional extra hard jab from the Beedrill.

~SQUISH~

Waiting until the Lopunny's foot was pointed toward her, Abby let loose another quick stab right between her spread toes.

~SQUELCH~

The bunny giggled again as even pressure under her foot suddenly shifted oddly. She could feel his nutmeat increase its squirming, quivering up against her foot, lifting her up ever so slightly. Attempting to step down harder, she could actually feel the hard cone of Abby's drill inside his marble.

Then, just as suddenly, the drill withdrew, and her foot lowered again.

Leo, meanwhile, was close to tearing the canvas of the boxing ring with his claws; he knew better than to place his paws on Hannah's hips, for fear of hurting her. He had anticipated some form of punishment for his admittedly terrible performance against Brooke. Maybe it was going to be three dozen drill stabs, or maybe an hour-long squeeze? Both sounded horrible, but it wasn't anything his junk hadn't survived before.

But this punishment was orders of magnitude worse. Not the punishment of having Blair grind her foot against his right nut, nor the punishment of having Lexie repeatedly stomp on the left. No, those he could deal with.

Ironically, the real punishment was actually the thing he had been fantasizing about for the past three weeks: having his cock completely enveloped in the vice-like grip of the Gardevoir's pussy. Normally, such an act would have been enough to almost block out the pain signals exploding from his berries.

There was just one teeny-tiny problem: he wasn't allowed to cum for the next two and a half weeks.

As his coach had explained with a raised, clicking voice, he had acted incredibly stupid during his match. She had spent far too much time and effort training him, only for him to come this close to throwing it all away. Not only had he basically allowed the Greninja to abuse his sack, but cumming during a match meant that his balls had lost some of the crucial sponginess they needed to take a hit. If his opponent had been a stronger 'mon, he almost certainly wouldn't have left with a full pouch.

He understood, but Abby's words when he had walked into the gym had still shaken Leo to his core. After three weeks of endless teasing and naked gals rubbing all over his genitals, he was desperate to empty his balls. At this point he'd likely launch Hannah into the air from the force of his cumshot.

Ironically, this same horniness had almost left him without the ability to ever be horny again.

As such, Abby thought the best way to get the Luxio to understand the seriousness of what he had done was to order the girls to not allow him to get off until after his next match.

"Aw, fucking ... fuck! I-i-is this r-really necessary!? Y-you're real- AHH- really going to m-make me w-wait another tw- ooooh- f-fucking weeks!?" Leo groaned.

Seeing his back arch, the Beedrill's eyes locked with his for a moment, prompting her to launch into her lecture for the third time while continuing to stab with her drills.

"Yup! You want to cum, right? You like having orgasms? Well, guess what: you can't cum if you don't have any balls!"

"O-ok-"

~STAB~

"I mean, seriously, do you have any idea how lucky you are to still be a male right now? Is one mediocre orgasm really worth getting popped?"

~STAB~

"GAAH- Oka-"

~STAB~

"And that's not even mentioning the fact that your career would be over as well! What happened to wanti-"

"I GET IT!"

Hannah, the Gardevoir, flinched slightly at Leo's yell, but continued to bounce on his dick, panting in pleasure and exhaustion.

Abby held her arm up for a second, watching. The dent her drill had made in his left ball instantly ballooned back to its usual shape as Lexie's foot smashed down onto it. The dent in his right ball, though, was slower to re-inflate. The jab had pushed into his nut enough to cause the Lopunny's foot to raise an almost unnoticeable amount as it compressed in width slightly. Still, the rubbery cyan flesh was easily pushed down back into shape as it flattened out against the mat. It was a miracle the poor spheres hadn't cracked, though it already hurt so much he doubted he'd even be able to tell if they did.

With the momentary respite from the stabbing, his kitten-makers saw their chance to release their contents. Feeling the pressure building, his tone instantly jumped from pained irritation to desperate gasping as he jackknifed at the waist to hug Hannah tight.

"Aah! C-c-cummiiingg!"

No sooner had the word escaped his lips that Hannah fully slammed herself down on his cock, taking the whole thing to the hilt. Simultaneously, the other two females shifted their stance, stepping down on the very top end of the oblong orbs, flattening it and causing the rest of the ball to bulge up and out like a quivering water balloon.

"Nononono!" Not wanting him to get punished, Hannah gripped him tight and did her best not to move while loudly whispering into his ear, "Don't cum, don't cum, don't cum, don't cum!"

The Luxio's cock strained itself as the pressure continued to build, pleading, begging to shoot its seed into the motionless Gardevoir. He couldn't tell whether his balls would explode, or his penis would. Both seemed likely. His entire length was overwhelmed with harsh, blissful pleasure, attempting to coax him into giving it the one more thrust that it needed.

Cruelly, his dick's request was denied. The pleasure that filled it gradually shifted to a dull ache, while the sharp pain that filled his balls shifted into even sharper pain. His sperm was simply unable to even escape his testicles, though it certainly made an effort as it pushed against and tickled the gal's feet.

Eventually, after almost a full minute, his nuts realized the futility of their struggle, and gave up. His dick took a little longer, but also was forced to accept defeat, calming from hard as diamond to just hard as steel.

Crisis averted, all five of them sighed.

Lexie chuckled at the barely conscious male, "Damn, that was a close one!"

"Wow, you really wanna cum, huh?" Blair asked, letting off some of the pressure.

Holy Arceus, YES!

Never in his life had he wanted to cum more, he could almost cry. He could've filled Hannah up twice with that load and still have enough for one of the other gals.

Collapsing back down onto the mat, Leo's blurry gaze was locked to the fairy-types tits. It took everything he had to keep his hands away from them, knowing that he'd instantly cum again if he didn't. Contrasting the fully white coloration of the rest of her body, her arms and breasts were a magnificent light green. It was as if someone had taken a green paint brush and swiped her across the chest, starting at her left hand and ending at the right.

He would've given anything to fully paint her white right now.

Noticing that her apprentice's legs were still shaking, Abby floated back, tapping a timer on her phone with her foot.

"Alright. I think we oughta take another break." She waved at the four. They usually didn't take this many breaks, but then they also usually didn't go this hard on the poor boy.

"Oh, ffuuuuuuck..." Leo groaned as the pouting girls stepped off of his sack, allowing his quivering, bruised nuts to re-inflate back to a somewhat round shape.

Hannah followed suit, pushing herself up with equally shaking legs to slowly reveal his soaking wet length to the world. Panting hard and collapsing at his side, her hand gripped his chest fur. Together, the two looked down at his dick. Pulled from her heavenly tight and warm embrace, it almost looked sad bobbing in the air.

Like his (unbruised) testicles, the Luxio's penis was a beautiful cyan that contrasted with his black waist. Throbbing, glistening with Hannah's juices, oozing pre-cum, and capped with a solid yellow mushroom head, it was quite a sight to behold.

Not even realizing his hand was reaching down to the Gardevoir's butt, Leo took a long, shaking breath. His balls were churning. Boiling in denial. They would've been unbearably sore even without the absolute pounding they had just received.

And he still had to go another three weeks!? There was no way!

"You okay?" The fairy-type nuzzled closer.

He nodded, still staring at his cock. Hannah felt so nice cuddling up against him. Breasts pushing against his side, head resting on his shoulder, hand on his heart, legs wrapped around his. She was not at all helping his erection go down. A single poke likely would have been enough to set it off right now.

The other three females also sat down and stared at his junk. They'd never seen it throb that much before, it was practically dancing. With all of them trying to catch their breath, it was a long moment before anyone spoke again.

"Guuuh," Leo moaned to break the silence, "at this rate ... if my opponents don't pop my nuts, you gals certainly will... "

Blair giggled, her gaze lowering slightly. "One can only hope! Gotta be honest, I can't even imagine how fuckin' good that would feel."

He replied with a frown, which she ignored.

"I know, right?" Lexie's eyes lit up as she nodded enthusiastically. "I'd probably cum my fuckin' brains out. Female League fighters are so fuckin' lucky, getting to pop a new pair every month!"

"Yessss!" Blair more or less shrieked, "I mean, Arceus, Abby, you're living the damn dream!"

"Eh, it's whatever." The Beedrill shrugged. "I mean, yeah it was fun the first few times, but once you've got a pop count in the triple digits like me, it's not that interesting anymore. I don't know, maybe it's cause I don't swing that way, or maybe just cause I don't have hands to squeeze with and really feel them, but after a while all the balls I've busted have just kinda blended together."

She smiled up at her apprentice. Though angry, she was still proud of him. "That's why I wanted to train you, in fact! Your nuts were the first pair to put up a proper fight in ages!"

"Gee, thanks." Despite how utterly uncomfortable he was with this conversation, Leo attempted a smile.

"Told yah your balls were made to be bashed around!" Abby returned the smile. Cocked her head, she then turned to the pop starved pair. "Actually, wait. Why haven't you two joined the UL? You're definitely both strong enough."

"No way! It's too scary!" The Lopunny answered first, seemingly embarrassed. Despite her size and impressive strength, she was not a fighter. "What if some dude, like, punched me in the face! That would really hurt!"

"I wish my opponents punched me in the face," Leo muttered under his breath, earning a snort of laughter from Hannah.

"I do want to join, but not yet." Lexie flexed her toes as she answered next. "I want my first pop to be romantic, y'know? Not some random guy I never met before."

Blair rubbed her chin in thought, still eyeing the Luxio's pouch. "Huh, that's a really good point, actually! Never thought about that. I'd imagine you wouldn't really be able to fully feel it during a match, since you're so focused on not getting hit yourself."

"Yeah." Abby nodded. "When I pop a guy I usually have to push myself away right after, in case he starts jerking in pain or something. One time a guy nearly knocked me out with a headbutt from spasming."

The Zeraora gasped, "Oh shit, that reminds me! Did you guys see the match the other day where that Sylveon chick snapped that Xatu's cock? He started bucking like crazy, and-"

"Can we PLEASE change the subject!?" The male groaned.

"To what?"

"Something not about breaking genitals?"

"Buzzkill..."

~Beep Beep - Beep Beep~

Abby's phone cut Leo off before he could say something smart-ass that would have earned him a smack to the nards. He knew they fantasized about popping his plums, but the least they could do was not talk about right in front of him! Despite their attempts at trying to convince him to take it as a compliment, it always made him queasy.

Blair and Lexie both immediately jumped off the ground, eager to continue. If they weren't going to get to fuck him today, they were gonna take out their lust on his ballsack. Stretching, Abby followed. All this stabbing was making her arms cramp, (not that this would stop her, she'd bite the damn things if she had too).

"What, already? Can't I have just five more minutes? The pain was just starting to die down." The feline grimaced at his coach. Though he knew begging was pointless, he couldn't help it. His male instincts just wouldn't let him.

"Nope. We've only got an hour left in the gym today, and I intend to use every second of it. Now spread ya legs."

"Uuuuughhh, y'all are gonna have to carry me home after this..." They laughed, but it wasn't a joke. It took several long moments for him to get his shaking legs to comply. At least the talking had bought him a few more seconds to quote unquote "relax."

Finally getting back into position, he waited for the explosion of pain, but none came. Why weren't they stomping on him?

Looking down, he realized Hannah was still at his side. Groggy and tired, the fairy-type panted, "I can't. Sorry, I'm way too sore."

"Sore?" Lexie crossed her arms, unimpressed. "We haven't even been going that long."

"You try riding him for an hour and a half straight, then," Hannah huffed.

"Okay!"

Turning and slamming her ass down onto the Luxio's lap before anyone could react, Lexie grabbed his dick and pressed the tip against her cunt. Taking a deep breath to recover the wind knocked out of him, Leo could already feel his nuts beginning to churn again.

"Hey!" Blair stomped her foot, making Leo flinch. "I wanna ride him!"

"Fair's fair! You were the first one he ate out, so you're the last one that gets his dick!" Lexie replied, pointing her finger at the selfish bunny's crotch.

Wasting zero time, the squatting Zeraora lowered herself onto his cock and took his whole length all at once. Apparently, unlike the other females, smacking around his testes was all the foreplay she needed. Not even Blair would just stick it in that fast.

Staring at the Zeraora's ass, Leo tried to speak, but all that came out was a surprised (though not disapproving) gasp. Not only was today the second time he'd been inside Hannah, it was also the first time he'd been inside Lexie. Now he was really regretting his match.

With her clit pressed against the base of his ballsack, she looked back and purred, "Oh damn! You were right, this thing is fuckin' nice!" Even just sitting there, it felt so lovely throbbing inside her pussy.

"Told ya, hits alllll the right spots." Hannah grinned, very much enjoying the view. Unable to resist giving her friend's yellow cheeks a light spank, she cooed into Leo's ear. "I'll bet it doesn't feel that bad for you, either?"

"T-t-tight," was his only reply.

The other feline smiled, and started to rapidly rock her hips against him while rubbing her clit. She had already been wanting to fuck him senseless, but Abby had told them to try their best at making him cum, and boy, did she intend to fulfill that promise. Besides, the faster he almost came, the faster she'd get to really crush his nuts.

"Wait! S-slow down! It feels too g-good!" Already, before Blair could even get into position, he felt his orgasm starting to rise again. After the Gardevoir's slow love making, the feline's energetic movements were too much.

"Oh yeah?" With an evil grin, Lexie stopped moving and turned back to face him while placing both hands against her crotch. "Well, just wait until I do this!"

As she said this, a strange feeling began washing over his shaft. A soft pulsing, tingling sensation that caressed him in odd pleasure from every direction. Immediately, he recognized the familiar buzzing as electricity, but it felt so surprisingly nice around his cock.

"Woah! Are you zapping his dick with your vag!?" The Lopunny was amazed at the sight of the tiny yellow electric arcs traveling over her friends vulva.

"Yup!" She answered, clenching and slightly increasing the intensity until he was bucking underneath her. Just enough to feel nice without making him go numb.

"And that feels good?" Hannah asked, unsure of what to make of this. He seemed to be liking it, but after going this long it was a little difficult to tell the difference between his groans of pleasure and groans of pain.

"To most males, no. But to a fellow electric-type..." Lexie's words trailed off as a cute whimper came from the Luxio.

She rarely used this little trick, but it was always a surefire way to get a guy to remember her. (Whether or not it was a _good _memory made little difference to her). Evidently, Leo was in the group that enjoyed it, as he was making the same adorable expressions he had when they sucked him off. He'd experimented with electric play on himself while jerking off before, but it had never felt anything like this. If she started moving again while doing this, there was no way he'd last more than a few seconds.

Though impressed, Blair raised an eyebrow. "You better not shock me with this."

"Hah! Don't worry, he's absorbing it, it's not traveling over him or anything."

The Beedrill, meanwhile, just shrugged, "Heh, well, this works too, I guess. Blair can take over the balls, then."

The Lopunny agreed and placed her foot atop the middle of his ballsack, preparing to push down, only to have her foot rudely shoved off.

"Hey, she can't do both! The left one's mine!" Lexie covered his sack protectively, gripping each nut nice and tight, preventing them from being seen. The electricity teasing his cock slowly dissipated.

"Huh? Why does it matter?" Abby asked. The Zeraora had said the same thing when they had started earlier.

Blair huffed, stomping her foot indignantly. "What, you think I'm gonna sabotage you or something?"

Abby cocked her head. "Sabotage? What-"

"Oh, I know you would!" Lexie pointed up at the Lopunny, accusingly.

"I'm not a cheater!"

"Yes you are!"

"Am not!"

"Hey!" Abby interjected, "Stop yelling! What are you two talking about?"

"The bet we made." Lexie answered, rolling her eyes like it was obvious.

"What bet?"

"The one about which of his nuts would pop first?"

"Excuse me?" Leo gasped, tearing his gaze from Lexie's butt. What the hell did she just say? Her grip on his nutsack suddenly became far more threatening than usual.

"Oh shit!" Blair's hand shot up to cover her mouth. "You weren't supposed to know about that!" Why did she have to say that? Him knowing about the bet could surely end up changing the result.

Lexie, though, was much less embarrassed, "What? The forum has a whole section for betting on pops, it's not that big a deal."

"It sounds like a very big deal!" Leo replied in shock. It was one thing for them to fantasize him getting a nut popped, but to actually make bets on it? That was just mean.

"You were betting which of you would pop one first?" Hannah frowned, equally shocked.

"What? No! Of course not!" Blair attempted to reassure them, her face turning even more red as she rubbed her arm awkwardly. "We were betting on which nut your _opponents _would pop!"

"Uh, we don't want either nut to pop." Crossing her arms, Abby shook her head.

"Well yeah, of course, of course. It's just ... uh ... well, if one does Lex and I were debating on which it would be."

A huff of annoyance returned their attention to the yellow feline. "Look, lemme explain." She tapped his left jewel with a claw, causing the frightened orb to retreat back further into its sack. "So his left ball is slightly bigger, yeah?"

Abby nodded.

"It is?" Leo asked, only to get bopped on the nose by the female's tail mane.

"Shush!" she commanded before turning back, "Well, we had been discussing it, and Blair thinks that cause it's bigger, his opponents will be, like, drawn to it, or something. Cause it's a larger target. Thus it's more likely to be the first to pop. Ok?"

"What do you mean 'first'?"

"I said shush!" She again silenced him with her tail. Pointing to his other testicle, she tapped it a bit harder than its brother. "So that's what Blair thinks. But I think that because righty is smaller, it's probably not as strong. I mean, everyone knows smaller balls are easier to pop, or they at least take less force too. So logically, I believe, even if both of them get hit, righty is more likely to get squished."

"Huh, I see." Abby nodded again, taking this way too casually for Leo's taste. "Well, you're right about smaller ones being easier to break, but I don't think there's enough of a size difference to matter all that much. After all, I've tried my best to keep them about the same."

"Exactly! That's why we've both agreed to only bust the opposite ball we chose from now on. It's more fair. If we can't bust our ball, we can't be tempted to soften it up before a match or anything."

"Not that we'd ever actually do that!" Blair raised her hands up defensively, but truthfully. The idea had crossed her mind many, many times, but she always resisted the temptation because she was a good friend (and because Abby would find out and get angry at her).

Too many thoughts filled the Luxio's brain for him to respond. Aside from that last worrying statement by Lexie, the two biggest questions that wracked him were, of course, which one did he think was more likely to pop, and which one would he would rather pop. If the right one was smaller, it would probably hurt less, right? Or would the left one being tougher make it hurt less? He'd rather neither, but ... Oh Arceus, what if an opponent beat him and made him choose which one he was going to lose? What would he say? The left one could probably hold a slightly larger amount of cum, so wouldn't it probably be the one worth saving?

"So yeah, that's why I don't want her touching lefty." Lexie finished, oblivious to the squirming Luxio, who's dick had become considerably less erect inside her.

"That seems really immature," said Hannah, hugging him tighter. He flinched a little against her as his balls received another rough tap.

"It's all in good fun! Just a friendly debate. I mean, which one do you think will pop?"

"Don't ask me that!" The fairy-type did not want to think about her crush getting half his manhood crushed. And why did Lexie keep saying "will," like it was an inevitability he'd lose one? At least Blair had the courtesy to say "would" instead.

"Don't get so offended, it's just a question, jeez! And how about you, Abby, what nut do you think will pop?"

"Yeah, I'm not getting involved in this." The bug-type waved the question away. She had, indeed, wondered the same question herself, but right now she just wanted to get back on track from this tangent, much to Hannah's relief. "Let's just hurry up and keep going with the session for now. You guys can talk about this afterward."

"You're the boss." Shrugging, the feline gripped his right ball in one hand, returning the other to her clit. The left nut she left exposed. "Now, where were we?"

Concentrating, her vagina began to tingle as the electric current began flowing over his shaft again, near instantaneously making it rock hard. Glad the conversation had ended, Hannah just rested her head on his shoulder, listening to his moans and watching Lexie roll her hips against him. The Luxio was just so pretty. She hadn't gotten to watch his face the last time she had ridden him, since it was covered by Blair's rump, but his reactions just made her heart flutter.

Ripped from his thoughts, Leo attempted to relax and focus on the incredible sensations the Zeraora was assaulting him with, unashamedly beginning to purr as she began to move up and down. How he wished he could just lay there and let her milk him. He didn't care how she did it, even a dry handjob would be amazing at this point.

But this wasn't supposed to be amazing, something he was reminded of as her hand quickly bore down on his orb. Cyan bubbles squished between her yellow fingers, trying desperately to escape the claws pushing into them. The pain that had mercifully begun to dull returned in an instant, almost (but not quite) overwhelming the pleasure.

Looking up, Leo found Blair raising her foot unnecessarily high in the air.

He attempted to beg ...

"W-wait-"

~WHAM~

... but it was too late.

---

---

"Honestly, I never really cared for the UL until I met you. I supported Abby, of course, but I never watched any other matches."

"Really?" Leo looked up at the Gardevoir. "It seems like every female I meet absolutely loves the League."

The two were sat on Leo's couch, as they always were after a training session. Usually, they left an awkward space between them, both too nervous to be the one to make the first move on each other. Neither of them had ever even made the first move in the gym. It was always either Lexie or Blair that started the fun.

Today, though, she was sitting a lot closer to him, helping him hold the ice pack against his crotch. She had insisted on checking on his nuts to make sure they were okay after today's session. After spending a few minutes gingerly fondling his pouch, confirming the orbs inside were still solid, she cuddled up next to him, holding the ice for him so he could just rest.

"Eh, busting a male just never appealed to me like it did to Lexie and Blair." The fairy-type shrugged. "I don't see what's so exciting about seeing a gal mess up some guy's privates."

"Oh? I was told you had gotten quite excited watching my match with Abby," he teased.

"W-well uh, none of her opponents have ever been as cute as you." She blushed, thinking back on Leo posing and bending over at the cameras. She'd kill to get him to bend over like that in front of her again, but was far too shy to ask.

"Oh, uh t-thanks ..." The male blushed with her. Awkwardly looking down, he rubbed his arm, scooting just a tiny bit closer to her.

"Dammit Leo," he thought, "you have the confidence to stay in a career where you could have your nuts obliterated at a moment's notice. You literally told her you wanted to fill her with your cum an hour ago, but now you're too nervous to even grab her hand? What is it about being alone with her that suddenly makes you so shy? You know she likes you, you've had sex with her twice already!"

They both found each other so lovely and nice, but thought the other was completely out of their league. Neither wanted to run the risk of rejection, so neither asked the other out. They were friends with benefits, yes, but surely that was all, right? There was no way someone so amazing would do go out with a 'mon like them.

"I-I think you're really beautiful, too." Was all that came out of his mouth. Why was that so hard to say?

"You do?" she asked, also scotting ever so slightly closer.

"Of course, Hannah. I ... I um ..."

...

...

"Ah!" He yipped as the ice rubbed against his penis.

"Oh, sorry!" She slid the ice back down, trying not to stare at his flaccid length or adorable face. Instead, she just stared at his jewels, deciding to change the subject, "They really did a number on these today, huh?"

"Heh, yeah. I haven't been this sore since my match with Roxie."

"They are quite enthusiastic," Hannah replied, "you should hear them talk when you're not around."

"I'd rather not!" He laughed, smiling at her. Miraculously, the ache was almost completely gone now. Just sitting here next to her was so nice and calming.

...

"I, um, I just wanted to say thank you, for your support. It really means a lot. I never would have gotten this far in the League without you."

"That's what friends are for!" She was leaning against him now, returning his smile while looking into his eyes.

"Heh, yeah..."

...

...

...

...

"Leo?"

"Hmm?"

"... Are we ... just friends?"

...

His heart skipped a beat at her question.

...

This was the moment.

...

He summoned every last drop of courage in his body.

...

"D- ... D-do you want to be more than friends?"

She answered with a kiss.
