Violet Orchestra

Not long after that, winter gradually came.

Because the north will only get colder and colder, and the road will be blocked due to snow and ice after a while, so they left Hiran and traveled to the south of the mainland.On the way to Sano, the largest fortress in the southern countries, Violet wrote several alternative destinations to solicit everyone's opinions. Of course Elaine was obedient to him, and Petra and Birkins also There was no comment, only Hodge was stunned when he saw the place name on the paper, and did not answer immediately.

He seldom had any objections to the travel itinerary, and Violet was also taken aback, subconsciously looking at the several destinations he had listed, and then found the problem.

"Ah, I forgot—"

He hurriedly opened his mouth to make amends, but Hodge spoke first: "I have no objection, you decide."

"But Domenoch..." Violet frowned in embarrassment and sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Hodge patted him to show he didn't care, and turned around to buy food.

The usual communication between the two of them was mainly bickering. The poet seldom talked to Hodge like this. Elaine saw it and thought it was a bit strange, but she didn't say anything, and left the matter to ask at night.

Now he lives in the same room with Violet, and he has a lot of time to talk at night, and the poet is afraid of the cold, and sometimes hides in his quilt to keep warm. Although he is a little shy in the face of other people's teasing, he is still very happy .

The poet acquiesced to this, and even deliberately teased him with the excuse of "learning".Elaine may not have noticed, but their current state can already be described as "passionately in love" - ​​Violet was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he quickly understood the reason.

There was something reassuring about Elaine, despite her youth, that Violet had been surprisingly quiet for months, and hadn't had another date.This was a very abnormal thing in the past, but it happened like this. Even Petra couldn't believe it, and asked him privately: "Are you going to be responsible to Elaine and start a new life for him?"

"...What about rehabilitating, was I some terrible criminal before?" Violet expressed dissatisfaction with her words, and felt a little wronged, "Also, what does it mean to be responsible to Elaine? I Didn't do anything to him—"

"Okay," Petra glanced at him, making him inexplicably guilty, "He seems quite serious, please treat him better, I lied to him before, did you still lose your temper with him?"

The poet touched his nose, and she told him where he was wrong.

"Are you sorry?" Petra asked.

He shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, Violet later regretted how she handled it.Petra was indeed in danger, but it wasn't the young man's fault, and what he said to Elaine in a hurry was not very nice, and took his anger out on the innocent.Others would definitely be upset to be angered like this, but Elaine treated him as well as usual as if nothing had happened, which made him unable to apologize even if he wanted to, and always felt like a vexatious guy.

"I really want to find opportunities...but he always avoids this topic intentionally or unintentionally. I can't find an entry point and can't open my mouth."

"What chance are you waiting for?" Petra raised her eyebrows, "Is it so difficult for you to apologize directly? I see that you used to be late for a while and there were a hundred ways to apologize to your date. How did it happen to Elaine? Can't speak anymore?"

Violet was at a loss for words for a moment, and then realized the seriousness of the problem.

It's not that he can't speak, but he's used to not speaking.Elaine took too good care of him, and besides guiding the other party in love affairs, he almost completely ignored the details of life and emotions, and enjoyed the caring care of the other party with peace of mind, which made him dull, even a little Son...spoiled.

After thinking about it, the poet felt a little unbelievable.

He was actually spoiled by Elaine who was so much younger than him....

This may sound a bit unbelievable, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case.Although he would not take the initiative to bring up the issue of age, but Elaine is more than a little younger than him, no matter from which point of view, he should take care of each other, but I don't know when the young man took the initiative to take care of him in every aspect , Almost all of his suggestions were obeyed unconditionally, so much so that Violet almost took it as a habit.

Seeing his face change again and again, Petra knew that she had hit the point, so she shut her mouth in moderation and went out to do some shopping.

Elaine went out with Birkins that day, and Violet was rarely alone, just in time to think about some issues that he had deliberately ignored for a while.

It was undeniable that he did like Elaine.It's been a long time since he's dated the same person for so long, let alone that he and Elaine are not just in a normal date relationship, they spend almost all of their time together and share a room at night, even if they're separated by no more than For an hour or two, like two pieces of candy that have melted and stick together.He didn't think there was any problem with this before, but now that he thought about it, it was somewhat unfair to Elaine.

There is no need for the young man to get tired of being with him all the time. He enjoys the unconditional tenderness and obedience of the other party, but he does not return the same sincerity. This makes Elaine's dedication somewhat unfair, but he has never noticed it.

Similarly, the last time he lost his temper with Elaine in Hiran, Elaine didn't show any dissatisfaction afterward. In addition, he deliberately avoided the incident, and in the end it passed as if nothing had happened.

This is not good.Violet thought worriedly that he shouldn't have done this to Elaine.Elaine is very young, like a little sun that radiates heat all the time, with love and longing almost written on his face, even if he is not young anymore, he will be infected by this sincere and straightforward love unconsciously.

But he hadn't experienced such feelings for so long that his heart became numb, and he even forgot how to respond to the other party.

Violet sighed, took out tools from her carry-on bag, got up and removed the makeup on her face, and was about to take a bath and relax.But as soon as he turned on the alchemy stove in the bathroom and started heating hot water, he heard the sound of the door opening from outside. The next second, Elaine asked from outside the bathroom door, "Violet, are you in?"

Violet paused in releasing the water, and subconsciously wanted to say not to come in, but after a second thought, she gave up again.

"Well, do you want to use the bathroom?" he asked Elaine.

"The coat I wore yesterday is hanging in there," Elaine said, "Can I come in and get it?"

Violet turned her head to look at the coat hanging by the window, hesitated for a moment, and opened the door to let him in.

"Actually, if it's inconvenient for you, I can wear another one..." Elaine walked into the bathroom while talking, took off her coat and inadvertently turned her head to look at him, stunned, "... Violet? "

The poet stood by the alchemy furnace to hold hot water, trying to make himself look a little more indifferent, but it was still very unnatural, the water almost overflowed from the spoon in his hand, but he didn't notice: "What's wrong?"

"The water is going to be spilled, don't burn your hands." Elaine took the big spoon he was holding and threw it into the bucket, looked at his hands first, and hesitated after confirming that they were not burned, "Your face..."

His voice was obviously the same, but Violet's expression immediately became stiff, and he tried to move away from his hand.Elaine was taken aback by his reaction, thinking that something was wrong with him, she quickly grabbed him and pulled him back, concerned: "I just went out for a while, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." The poet was extremely regretful, and while covering his face with his hands, he pushed him out of the door, "I'm going to take a shower, don't you have something to do, go do it first—"

Elaine didn't move.He didn't want to move, and of course Violet couldn't push him, so soon, what Violet wanted to hide was half-forced to be exposed before Elaine's eyes.

"...What are you looking at?" Violet covered half of her face with her palms in embarrassment, and forced her head to stare at him calmly, "It's just freckles, what's so strange."

Elaine never knew that Violet's cheeks were not as smooth and flawless as she usually saw because she had been covered with various powders and camouflage methods.There is an inconspicuous freckle near the bridge of his nose, each spot is very small, and the color is very light, sparsely located around the tip of the nose, which is somewhat red, making him look very young, with an expression of embarrassment and anger, he looks a little pitiful , but more is actually cute.

Elaine took his hand covering his face and stared at him intently for a while, obviously for a short time, but every second passed extremely long, just when Violet couldn't help thinking Before pushing him away, he suddenly leaned down and kissed the tip of the poet's nose.

"The time you kicked me out of the room in Rosalia was also because of this?"

the young man asked in a low voice.

Violet was taken aback, he didn't expect him to bring up this matter suddenly, but recalling the situation at that time, it was indeed true.

"Sure enough," seeing him acquiescing, Elaine actually smiled, "That's great. At that time, I thought I did something wrong to make you angry. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure out the reason. It turned out to be because of this."

Violet was caught by him and couldn't move. He was stunned for a while, and didn't know what to say for a while.

He imagined the many ways Elaine might react when he saw his face, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.

"You... have nothing else to say?" he asked.

"Huh?" Elaine responded first, and then realized what he meant, and quickly explained, "If you really mind, I will pay attention to avoiding the time when you remove your makeup in the future, and you can also remind me, like It was like last time—but I think you look good no matter what, at least in front of me, you can relax a little like now, and don't pay too much attention to it."
