【GaloLio】The way home

It would be a lie to say that the colleagues of the Flames Fire Brigade have no preference for Leo.Gallo came to this conclusion with absolute certainty.

One month before the FDPP written test, Remy and Rukia jointly prepared a mock test for Leo, which they dubbed "Give more opportunities to young people with potential"; Listo specially taught Leo how to manipulate the gears of the heavy machine for a thin person, and the scene of cooperation between the two, whose physiques are so different that they can be described as "disparity in size", was actually very harmonious.

And Captain Ignis will acquiesce in these actions. It is said that the high-level officials accepted his proposal, saying that in the period when the high-risk work of the fire brigade is difficult to attract new blood, it is acceptable to provide resources to potential people, and it can also provide future personnel. Expand as a bedding.

Since there was no violation of the regulations and Leo benefited from it, Gallo was happy to see the result. He also asked Aina to help borrow the medical examination equipment and did a simple physical examination for Leo.

The boy's height is a little bit taller than before. As for the frame, it is a factor that is difficult to change. His figure has not changed from the past, and he is still slender than ordinary people. However, due to the improvement of diet and sleep, all health indicators are very good. There is also an increase in muscle mass.

Of course, Gallo also stopped by to check.The youth has left the peak growth period, but because of the high-intensity exercise, the height and muscle mass have increased proportionally. Coupled with the chiseled face and the unchanging Mohawk hairstyle, in Leo's words He said, "Standing in the crowd is quite eye-catching, and you can be found immediately if you get lost."

Then the young man showed a hearty smile, rubbed the boy's head and said, "You are the one, dazzling like a little golden star!"

In the third month of winter, sporadic festive decorations have been hung up on the bustling streets that have gradually recovered.Parents hold the hands of their children and stop in front of shop windows, old people sit in the square and feed pigeons with bread crumbs, and young lovers are frolicking in the street with gifts.

Walking on such streets gave Gallo a sense of reality.After such a long period of urban reconstruction, it finally has a "better" look.

The young man really likes such a vivid, happy, and warm picture of the world, which after all is the scene he wants to protect from the bottom of his heart.

He was a little fascinated by the scene, and his steps slowed down unconsciously, and he didn't recover until Leo beside him touched his shoulder.

"What's wrong?" The boy raised his face, but he sneezed because the cold air suddenly entered his exposed neck.

Gallo looked down at him and laughed loudly. He quickly took off his scarf and wrapped Leo's neck tightly. The unkempt hair on the back of the boy's head was piled higher, like a warm little fur ball.

They finally found the place where the motorcycle was parked before, and Gallo handed Leo the smaller helmet, and put on his own: "I-I hope Leo can see more, more beautiful street scenes than this And get in touch with more kind people, and be able to like humans more.”

"I don't hate them." The boy tilted his head and answered honestly.

"That's good!" The young man stepped on the motorcycle and started the engine skillfully, "And I still have a lot of things I want to do with Leo! When the large green lawn in Central Park grows, we will bring a lot of food for a picnic; When summer comes, I go to the seaside for vacation with everyone in the fire brigade.”

After the boy sat firmly behind him, Gallo asked, "Leo, do you like the sea?"

"I...don't know," Leo paused, "the sea looks beautiful from a distance, so I will be careful not to get close..." lest the wanton flames bring damage to the sea, lake or river, it is he No specific reason was given.

The short-term sadness was quickly diluted by Gallo's voice and laughter: "Then we should take you there! We can build high sand castles on the beach and step on a lot of waves in the cold sea water."

"... Heh," the boy's helmet rested on his back, and his arms tightened a little, "Then I'll just wait and see."

The clever and studious Leo Fortia passed the first written test of the fire brigade - Gallo took it for granted.

But they still had a little celebration, buying new flavors of donuts from a new bakery that opened near their apartment.

Gallo doesn't have a sweet tooth, the opposite of Leo.

The teenager held the donut covered in thick chocolate sauce and crushed peanuts with both hands, and ate small bites cherishingly. The appearance was so cute that Gallo wanted to hug each other and kiss him hard.

He has often had such contradictory thoughts recently.

Although he was no longer Leo's guardian, his desire to protect Leo continued unabated. He didn't want Leo to be in any danger again.

However, he very much hopes that Leo can join the fire brigade, even if he may not be assigned to the same brigade as himself, the kind of comradeship superimposed on the intimate relationship between the two is very worth looking forward to for him; and Leo So talented, his joining will benefit the entire community.

He himself couldn't express such emotions clearly, how to use words to express them clearly to the young man.

"Leo."

"?? Huh?" The boy stopped eating.

"Besides helping the original Burner, what is your other motivation to join the fire brigade?" He knew it was awkward to ask such a question, "It must not be like me, with the soul of firefighting, right?" After all, the identity of the Burner accompanied the other party It's been too long.

The young man smiled softly: "?? I was always saved by you in the past, and I also hope to be a force to protect you." His tone was gentle, but his eyebrows were raised and his eyes were bright.If it weren't for the soft and pretty face and the smear of chocolate sauce on the corner of the mouth, it would be an extremely manly speech.

Gallo couldn't help liking this very Leo-style discourse and contrast.

He stretched out his hand, pinned Leo's temples behind his ears, and stroked the boy's fair neck lightly.

Leo froze for a moment: "Did the chocolate sauce get on your hair?" Then he smiled shyly.

Gallo suddenly had an urge—to stand up and declare to the world that the boy in front of him was his—he had no choice but to beat his thigh a few times, using what little of his “elderly” sanity left to prevent this Silly thought.

The only thing Gallo Timos can be sure of is that he has really fallen.
