Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

"Did it scare you a little?" When Alan asked this, he and Eli had already entered their house and had a meal, which was prepared by Chef Dorothy, Ulic and Alan. sumptuous lunch.

After lunch, because Eli didn't help much in the pre-meal preparations, he was very unaccustomed to seeing everyone around him busy, but he was the only one sitting comfortably, just waiting to sit and enjoy the state of the finished product, so he couldn't help it I went to find Allen to see if there was anything in the after-dinner packing that I could do by myself.

Together, Dorothy and Ellen barred him from the cottage kitchen.

"How can I get you to do it?" Dorothy pushed Eli out of the house gently but uncompromisingly, and packed a son as a gift, "It's just right, Alan, there is nothing that needs your help here, you can take it with you." Eliza, go upstairs to your room to have a look, you all came here early this morning anyway, this will be just right for you to go upstairs and take a nap."

The lady who neatly gifted her son also said: "You should...don't need to clean up another guest room?"

Eli: "..."

The hand was only halfway up, and the sign language that wanted to show the willingness to help again was interrupted by this supplement.

Eli was sure his face must be heating up again involuntarily, and the other party's voice was unsurprisingly flat.

"No need." Allen replied to Dorothy. He glanced into the kitchen to confirm that the remaining cleaning work was not too heavy, and then said, "Then we will go up."

"go Go."

So Eli was taken upstairs by Allen.

Allen's room is located at the end of the corridor on the second floor. The room is not that big, but it is connected to a small sunny terrace.

Before graduation, Allen went home twice a year, once a month or so. After graduation, going home became an undetermined event. Even if he came back once in a while, the longest time he stayed at home was no more than For two weeks, the word "wave" was actually carved in the bones under the serious skin, and the whole continent had to be measured by itself before it was willing to rest.

Even so, he was no longer in this room, but it seemed to be kept in a state where it was cleaned frequently and ready to welcome back its owner at any time.

The sheets and quilt covers are not new, and they have a soft feeling that will appear after being unpacked and used, but they have undoubtedly been well washed and dried, revealing a warm fragrance of fabric softener.

The desks and cabinets placed against the wall are clean and dust-free, and the cabinets have been well organized. Frequently used books are placed in the most convenient position. Most of the content is memorized backwards, and these elementary textbooks are not needed when looking up information, but they are regarded as some kind of symbol that has witnessed the growth of the owner, and they are still well stored on the top of the cabinet and stored properly.

It was hard for Eli not to be distracted by everything in the room.

So much so that when Allen asked him if he was frightened the first time, and worried that his parents' enthusiasm today would overwhelm the other party, he didn't hear what Allen was saying at all, and just stared intently at the person in his field of vision. Inside things look.

"...Eli?"

"Ok?"

When Allen called Eli for the second time, the blond young man responded to his name, and he finally turned his head towards the lover who was calling him.

After seeing the other person's expression clearly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then realized something: "Did you tell me something just now?" After speaking, Eli realized, "I'm sorry, I was looking at the cabinet over there. A little lost."

Of course, Alan remembered the direction of Eli's gaze, and he glanced along: "I'm asking you, did my parents' enthusiasm scare you a little bit?"

In Eli's view, Alan's parents were surprisingly warm and friendly, but he was actually more surprised than frightened.

On the way to the hut, I already felt Dorothy’s welcome to me. Ellen’s father, Ulic, looked seven or eight points similar to Alan when he was not smiling, and his physique was more similar to Alpha than Beta. After staring at him for a long time, he still feels a little bit of pressure.

But such a person whose imposing manner should not be underestimated, after realizing that the "girl" next to his son is the "unmarried partner" brought back by the other party, he also paid attention to restraining his whole body and received Eli with a very gentle attitude. A "guest" who needs to be taken seriously.

"No." Eli shook his head at Alan's question, and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm pleasantly surprised."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then completed his truth: "At most, I'm still a little nervous."

"Uneasy?" Allen looked back from the cabinet and landed on Eli.

Eli moved on the chair very slightly: "After all, they still think I'm yours..."

girlfriend?

fiancée?

The following words were drowned in Eli's throat because the master was a little bit ashamed to speak because he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

But speaking of this, Allen can also understand Eli's unfinished words.

"Don't worry about that."

Alan who was standing easily touched the top of Eli's hair, and took off the hair accessories that Eli had been wearing for a long time.

It was only two days ago that he discovered that girls' hair accessories look exquisite and beautiful, and can add a lot of color to the outfit when they are dotted on the head, but even the most comfortable-looking hair bands will be oppressive after being pressed on the head for a long time. Scalp, or pulling hair roots, so that the original comfortable decoration gradually becomes like a layer of golden hoop.

Anyway, the most worrying part of the "meeting parents" part has been completed, and this meeting has entered the break time. Allen took away the other party's jewelry, and put his fingers into Eli's hair to help Eli. Trim the part of the hair that was weighed down by the hair accessories.

"……Well……"

Before he could react, Eli's vocal chords started to work without his care, and his body let out a comfortable sigh in front of his brain.

"It's okay." Allen's fingers continued to go a little deeper, and the pads of his fingers slowly pressed the scalp around that area, and he patted Eli's back with his other hand, "Relax, you made a sound because you felt comfortable in front of me, It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

"..." Eli was only a little embarrassed at first, and he was embarrassed because he unconsciously made a sound, but Alan's words of comfort completely had the opposite effect, making his "a little" doubled in an instant.

After being glanced at by Eli with "Do you really know what you just said?" for half a minute, Allen came to his senses belatedly—is there any ambiguity in his words?

As the two of them looked at each other without words, the room fell into a brief silence.

In order not to make the atmosphere more weird, Allen took the lead in coughing lightly, and changed the subject nonchalantly: "The thing I said before so that you don't have to worry about my parents misunderstanding, I haven't finished that sentence yet."

That was indeed a question that Eli was very concerned about. His attention was easily diverted, and he turned to look at Allen: "Huh?"

"I'm going to confess to them tonight," Allen said.

The hand he patted on Eli's back quietly moved up to the opponent's shoulder, and pressed the opponent's shoulder, interrupting the movement of the opponent who almost jumped from the chair in shock.

"Actually, I think my mom should have figured out something, she saw that the potion was only for maintenance, guessed that your throat burn might be a lie, but she didn't ask anything, when she and my dad were alone in the kitchen After staying here for a while, the attitudes of both of them haven't changed much, and they still welcome you very much, so I don't think it would be a risky thing to confess to them." Allen rubbed Eli's hair again, "The more they don't ask questions, don't insinuate, and only use actions to show their trust in us, the more we should take the initiative and not waste their kindness."

Eli: "But..."

But is it really possible for parents to readily accept the fact that the "daughter-in-law" is wrong in terms of gender, and that after noon, the "girl" they are optimistic about becomes a male?

Eli obviously didn't have much confidence in this, but he was used to handing over the decision-making power on important matters to Allen, and he didn't want to question the other party with a strong attitude, so he got stuck.

Allen's hand resting on the top of his hair was quite restless, and after rubbing his hair, he stretched it down again.

Eli's ears were pinched gently.

"We don't have much time to stay in the Anduru Valley, and we may have to go on the road again in two days. We can confess to our parents and make it easier for us to do another important thing." Allen said, "In order not to delay It has not been successfully processed before leaving.”

Eli managed to stabilize his voice: "What is it...?"

Allen didn't answer him immediately this time.

There was a rustling sound behind him, and the black-haired young man walked around from behind the chair to the sitting Eli.

"Although the occasion and posture are not right." Allen leaned down/body up, supporting the back of the chair behind Eli with one hand, "but I want to tell you it now."

Eli didn't understand what "not quite right", but instinctively, he sensed some kind of seriousness from Allen's focused gaze, and his intuition told him that it might be the best choice to concentrate on listening.

So he didn't ask any questions, he just raised his head and met Alan's eyes.

"When I was still in Wende Town, when I just finished exchanging information with Ives, I was thinking that I must find a way to help you re-register your household registration, so that you can regain your passport that can walk in human-inhabited areas. Household registration card." Allen continued, and it was very rare that while his expression was focused, he also showed a little nervousness that is not usually seen.

As if trying to calm himself down, he smiled lightly on his lips: "But the conditions are limited, I've thought about it for a long time, and I only came up with an idea that takes advantage of others...and a very cheeky one." I think you'll probably be happy."

"What kind of idea?" Eli heard his own voice ask quietly.

The black-haired young man seemed to take a deep breath calmly, then took a step back, the hand on the back of the chair slid all the way to Eli's, and took his.

Allen suddenly fell short in Eli's field of vision, and their perspectives switched quickly.

Allen asked very seriously: "Are you willing to really become a part of my family, add my surname after the first name, and live with a new family registration from now on?"

"..."

"Sorry, I should have said it more bluntly - will you marry me?"
