Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute

"I...have been having some troubles lately."

Ling Bai suddenly looked at the person in front of him in silence.

"Because of me?"

Question sentences have an affirmative tone.

Tom's silence already told Ling Bai the answer.

"Do I give you a hard time, Tom?"

"No, it's my own problem. It's always been my problem."

Tom's voice was a little low and hoarse, and he was obviously in a bad mood.

"Do you remember how long I was locked in the car?"

"12 days"

"Yes, I have been locked up here for 12 days. Except for the day when Gellert took me out to bask in the sun, I have never seen day or night. Is this the life you want me to live?"

Tom closed his eyes to hide the pain.

How could he not know? How could he not be sad?

The person who was once pampered by me is now imprisoned by me in a place where there is no day or night.

The person who loves freedom the most and yearns for freedom the most has his wings broken forever and is unable to leave that cage.

He was in pain, but he was also in pain.

“I don’t understand why we are like this.”

Tom's hands hanging at his sides slowly clenched, his nails digging into his flesh, and the slight pain kept his brain clear.

"Why have we become like this? I think the current situation is definitely not caused by one person's fault. Of course, I am also wrong.

I deceived you from the beginning. After I got what I wanted from you, I wanted to leave. Just like you said, I am a thief and a liar. This is the mistake I made. What about you?"

Tom looked at the person on the bed in surprise.

When he looked into those eyes that were as clear as ever, he actually felt a little ashamed.

"I... I am a coward who dares not face reality. I am afraid of your leaving. I am also a black hole of desire that can never be filled. I always crave for more and more.

Desire completely devoured me, but I held you tightly and didn't want to let go, wanting you to be devoured with me."

Tom closed his eyes and finally said out what he had been suppressing in his heart for a while.

He was a little afraid to look into Ling Bai's eyes, as he was afraid of seeing a look of disgust in the eyes of the person in front of him.

But a soft, though cold, hand that made him feel warm gently touched his cheek.

"Why are you crying? I haven't cried yet, but you're crying already. What? Are you trying to take the initiative?"

The voice was soft, and they couldn't help but recall the time they spent together.

He subconsciously wiped his cheek and found that there were water droplets on his fingers.

He actually cried.

"I did not mean that"

“I rarely see you cry.”

The familiar scent of cold roses penetrated his nose, and Tom couldn't help but want to get closer and closer.

"Tom, let go"

The voice was clear, soft and gentle, no longer as cold and chilling as before.

Tom didn't say anything. He didn't want to break the long-lost atmosphere between the two of them.

Ling Bai did not continue to ask about this topic.

He understood that Tom needed time to think.

The two of them slept well in each other's arms, which was a rare occasion. When Ling Bai woke up, Tom was still beside him.

Tom stood up and combed Ling Bai's beautiful long silver hair.

After combing her hair, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the big fluffy tail.

Ling Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tail swung gently, inadvertently brushing across Tom's cheek.

As if teasing him.

Tom gently grasped the dangling tail.

"I'll comb the hair on your tail, too."

Ling Bai lay down lazily, and Tom understood what he meant.

I changed to a clean comb and started combing his tail.

The feeling of combing the tail is strange, itchy but with a hint of something else.

After all, the tail is a very sensitive area.

After combing his hair, Ling Bai's breathing became a little rapid.

"You deliberately"

The tail seemed to sense its owner's dissatisfaction and gently slapped Tom's body to express its dissatisfaction.

Tom chuckled.

"It's rare for me to comb your tail. I didn't do it before, and later you didn't let me. Now I finally got the chance."

Ling Bai snorted coldly.

The house elf came over at this time to deliver breakfast.

But just when the two of us were enjoying breakfast, an uninvited guest arrived.

Tom's smiling face turned cold as he looked at the three little ones running in.

Draco was also holding a large bag of candy and various small toys.

The smile on his face froze the moment he saw the people in the room.

Subconsciously, he hid the thing in his hand behind his back.

"grown ups"

Tom snorted coldly, glanced at Draco, and then glanced at the two people who followed Draco in.

“You guys are quite relaxed.”

Bryce was speechless. He had been extremely busy over the past two days and finally had some free time today.

I originally wanted to spend some time alone with Ling Bai, but I didn't expect to see two annoying people at the door.

Although he was very unhappy, he still followed in.

But he didn't expect to see Tom as soon as he came in.

"grown ups"

Ling Bai patted the back of Tom's hand. Tom came back to his senses. Although he understood what Ling Bai meant, he still felt a little unhappy.

“You always turn to them”

"They are still young, and haven't I told you?"

Tom snorted coldly. Although he was still in a bad mood, he was so easily coaxed.

He gets angry easily, but is very easy to coax.

"Yes, since you've already spoken, let's forget about it and have a good breakfast."

Ling Bai said "oh" and ate a little more in the morning, which was a rare occurrence for him.

Tom left after having breakfast with Ling Bai. He has been really busy recently and he always tries hard to make time to come here.

After leaving the basement, he became the cold and unapproachable Tom Riddle in the eyes of outsiders.

What Ling Bai said to him last night and his softening attitude made Tom vaguely feel something.

But he still couldn't bear to let go so easily.

But he seemed to have no other choice.

I once thought that as long as I kept him by my side, it wouldn't matter even if he hated me.

But the disregard, indifference, and sarcasm of the past ten days or so were almost driving him crazy.

He didn't want them to continue living like this for the rest of their lives.

So maybe he really needs to reconsider.

Tom took a deep breath and left the manor.

As soon as Tom left, the tense and serious atmosphere in the basement immediately disappeared.

"Scared me"

Draco let out a long breath and took out the bag hidden behind him again.

"I brought you a lot of things, it's good to kill time."

Ling Bai looked at Draco with a smile on his face as he took out various things from his pocket and explained them seriously.
