Ares

"Promise me one thing?" Ares said suddenly.

"what?"

"The one you met today, my friend's younger brother, he came to us, can you ignore him?"

"Nelson?" Eddie mentioned this name, and remembered that Ares apologized to him on the way back. He didn't know what Ares did at that time. It seems that Ares also knew what he did. is wrong.

"He's not coming for me," Eddie replied.

"I think so." Ares suddenly rolled over on top of him, and Eddie was forced to face him on his back, "I know the desire in human eyes too well, he will definitely come to you, we don't want Take care of him, okay?"

Eddie was in a daze for another moment. He remembered that Ares had asked him in this tone before. At that time, he said, "Shall we go back to Steele?" He didn't agree.

"Okay." He replied this time, looking into Ares' eyes.

Ares smiled contentedly, lowered his head to bite his lips, and Eddie obediently closed his eyes.

Ares can sense emotions. Eddie knew it early on. He thought Ares didn't care about Nelson at all. Unexpectedly, he actually regarded him as a potential threat. It was Eddie who really didn't care. In short, Ares said Yes, Nelson came to him.

I saw that bright smile at the door early in the morning. Eddie and Ares were about to go out for a walk. When Nelson saw the two of them, he walked over eagerly and burst into a big smile.

Ares looked at him coldly, but Eddie didn't like really ignoring Nelson as he promised the night before, but he had something on his mind after all, and he couldn't show any enthusiasm.

"Hi, are you... okay?" Eddie asked politely.

Seeing Eddie's indifferent look, Ares felt a lot more comfortable.

Nelson didn't seem to mind, "It's nothing. I thought you had already left. I tried to find you, but I thought it would be in vain."

He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man, and Eddie was embarrassed to appear more indifferent when the other party was so good-tempered. His attitude eased a lot, "Our spaceship has some problems, and it will leave in a few days."

"Yeah." Nelson looked even more excited, "Then I can take you around in the last few days. After all, I'm also from Nichols."

Ares looked dissatisfied, and it could be seen that Nelson was also extremely dissatisfied with Ares, otherwise he wouldn't have said "you" and "you" one by one, completely treating Ares as a transparent person.

Eddie is not very willing to have too much contact with him. He still has a very clear task. If he has too much contact with Nelson, Ares will not be happy, but Eddie is worried about revealing his secrets.

"Aren't you an athlete? Don't need training?" Eddie asked gently.

"The most important game of the year has just ended, we can take a little vacation."

Nelson's excuse was impeccable, um, maybe it wasn't an excuse at all, it was the truth. Eddie couldn't refuse it, and he was a little distressed.

Just when Nelson thought he would promise himself, Eddie looked at him solemnly.

"To be honest, it's not convenient for you to be with us." Eddie pointed to Ares, "He is my boyfriend."

After hearing this, Nelson was at most a little surprised. He didn't expect Eddie, who seemed to have a good temper, to refuse so simply, obviously because he didn't want to get involved with him.

Looking at Ares again, he was simply dumbfounded and stunned. It was the first time he heard Eddie rejecting someone so resolutely. He was only secretly happy, but he didn't expect Eddie to introduce himself like this directly.

Eddie's boyfriend...was himself.

If I was ecstatic last night, now I am so ecstatic that I can't express it in words!

If... If it wasn't outside, he didn't know how he would torment Eddie, and he hoped that Eddie could also experience his current excitement.

Of course Eddie saw it, but he kept his face and pretended he didn't.

"I'm sorry." Eddie smiled apologetically at Nelson, and Nelson waved his hand generously, "It's okay, don't feel sorry, actually... I should have seen it earlier, you and Ares are very good together, together It doesn't look like an ordinary friend."

Eddie was taken aback for a moment, then grinned, and didn't say much, which was regarded as acquiescing.

In fact, if he still has time, if he still has the energy and mood, he is quite willing to make friends with Nelson. He wants to know something about Dunbar's past. After all, he feels a little guilty about Dunbar.

But now he didn't have the mind to think about that.

But it seemed that Nelson was still unwilling to give up. He lowered his head, a little timidly, "Actually, I lied to you yesterday, and I felt sorry for it all night."

Eddie looked at him pretending not to know, "What?"

Nelson raised his head, glanced at Ares, and then turned his gaze to Eddie's face, "Actually, Dunbar is my brother, my real brother, not my cousin."

Eddie knew, he'd guessed that he was going to say it as early as he had just said it.

Nelson saw that he didn't respond, "Actually, you already knew it..."

"Yeah." Eddie nodded slightly, "I think it's up to you if you don't want to tell the truth."

"Actually, it doesn't make any sense. I just feel very sorry for my brother and ashamed." Nelson looked around. After all, he is a fairly famous athlete. side.

"Can we talk somewhere else?" Nelson suggested.

Eddie glanced at Ares, obviously he was still immersed in what Eddie said before, and he didn't object.

The three asked the front desk to temporarily find a room, because Ares was a little more awake, and it was strictly forbidden for Eddie to bring other men into the place where the two of them lived, even if it was a temporary place.

"Can we talk now?" Eddie asked.

"Yeah." Nelson sat down and said, "My brother and I have very different personalities. He is very kind, but from another perspective, he is a bit cowardly. Therefore, my parents prefer me, especially when I grow up. , I made clear my goal and wanted to be an athlete, but my brother didn’t have any goals, and my parents felt that he was just messing around every day, and they would quarrel after a few words when they met.”

Eddie sighed. He felt that almost nothing good happened to Dunbar in his life.

"But the biggest breaking point was when my brother told his parents that he liked men and would never be with any woman in his life. In my impression, that was the only time my brother explicitly said something about himself. Of course, my parents were very angry. After beating him, he never came home again."

Nelson also sighed after finishing speaking, "I heard that my brother often hangs out with some dubious people, and I have suffered a lot. We..." He lowered his head and said sadly: "...I have been worried He, but he never went home, and he didn't give in, and finally, I heard that he was taken to Steele, and after that, I heard about the disaster in Steele."

Eddie listened silently. From the depression at the beginning to the indifference at the end, Nelson couldn't figure out why he showed such an expression. Aren't they friends?

"With all due respect, your brother should be dead." Eddie said like a thunderbolt, shocking Nelson.

"I don't understand why you came here to tell me these things, and I don't understand why you lie when you are clearly sad. Since Dunbar never comes home and you are so worried about him, why don't you go to him? ?Your parents may be outraged and I have no right to say anything, but you are such a good brother, and you never thought of calling him home. "

Nelson looked shocked, "I...I didn't..."

Eddie glanced at Ares, and Ares was also looking at him, but it seemed to be in a state of thinking, Eddie had no time to take care of it, he was so angry.

"You portrayed Dunbar as a person who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, is stubborn, and takes the blame for himself, while you yourself have a sunny personality, clear goals, and are likable." Eddie sneered, "I don't even know how to say that he will always stay in the Steele was lucky or unlucky for him."

Nelson was still arguing, his face flushed with anger, "You're talking nonsense! I..." He wanted to argue with Eddie, but was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"You probably don't know that Dunbar and I were really friends, at least once. I can say that I know him better than you. The first half is true, but you are completely lying about the second half. I can even make a bold guess that it is thanks to you that Dunbar left home." Eddie paused, "With such a similar face, now it seems that you are far worse than him."

Nelson didn't argue anymore, and was furious, "What qualifications does that coward have to be my brother?! I'm far from him? Are you crazy?!"

Seeing this, Ares stepped forward to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Eddie.

"You came to tell me so many stories because of him?" He glanced at Ares, who didn't move.

Nelson stood up and couldn't help taking a step back. He didn't know where he was showing his secrets.

"I knew from the moment you walked in that your goal was Ares." Eddie also stood up and smiled wryly, "No matter where you go, you guys want to catch him no matter how hard you try. I can't get rid of it no matter what, it's really, really disgusting." In the end, Eddie's voice was filled with cold wind, and Nelson felt the crisis completely, but Eddie hadn't finished speaking.

"Want to know how I know?"

Nelson knew that he would not be able to leave for a while, so he simply broke the can. In fact, he really didn't know when he showed his flaws.

Eddie smiled and said, "From yesterday to today, I never told you, his name is Ares, right? But you can tell his name from the moment you walk in the door." Eddie looked at He, "Is it too eager to get his mood?"
