Abandoned Lover [Future]

Eugene felt his words trembling slightly.

At this moment, the ring held between his fingers is not only a manifestation of the connection between him and Xiao, but also a tiny anchor point, allowing him to have a home in the future.

"Let me put it on for you, Eugene."

Xiao said so, with a gentle smile in his voice.Eugene didn't understand why Xiao was still so calm.Unclear emotions had already choked his throat, making him unable to make any sound.

He could only nod his head.

The cyborg took the silver ring from his hand, and Eugene stretched out his left hand, watching the ring slowly fit into the ring finger.The other party's fingertips, which were slightly cooler than his own, slid over his knuckles, but it seemed to touch his unsuspecting heart that had been pulled out from his ribs.

The ring landed securely on the base of his finger, the size was so appropriate that he could hardly feel its existence.But he would rather the ring tightly wrap around his finger, giving him some pain that can confirm the reality.With still trembling fingers, he took the ring engraved with his oath from Xiao's palm, wanting to put it on for him as well.

After a little hesitation, Xiao chose to raise his right hand.Eugene looked at him, and Xiao smiled and said, "My left hand is not good-looking."

——During the last mission, Xiao's left arm was completely bent.Even though technician Matthew tried his best to repair it, it still looked unspeakably weird.

Hearing this sentence, Eugene pursed his lips, and turned to hold Xiao's right hand.After putting on the ring for the other party, Eugene looked at the two hands holding each other speechlessly, and suddenly lowered his head.

He frowned and closed his eyes, feeling the sudden heat in his eye sockets in confusion.Xiao hugged him into his arms at this time, so he was able to bury his head on the side of the other's neck, not thinking about how to hide his current expression in front of Xiao.

"You're mine, Eugene."

Just hearing Xiao's voice, Eugene could imagine how the other party squinted his eyes with a smile.And because of Xiao's undisguised happiness, he felt more and more shaken.

He doesn't think he is a romantic person, so in the past long years, his greatest hope for love is to get an ordinary partner who can respond to him.Rings, vows, hands that always hold each other—these things are out of tune with his reality, and they don't seem to belong to his happiness.

But, but.

Even though he was standing in the great panic that he might lose everything immediately, he still couldn't deny that at this moment, he actually felt that being alive was a very good and worthwhile thing.

The hands clinging behind Xiao's back slowly clenched the material of the clothes.The cyborg heard his lover whispering to himself: "...hold on tighter."

……

When the two walked out of the shop, twilight was covering the streets of New Athens.Xiao also wanted to slowly feel the rare peace with Eugene, but a circle of vendors who came to solicit customers quickly surrounded them.

The Acropolis Star is essentially a redundant defense star on the outskirts. Except for a few wealthy people and mine owners who live here, most people's life is far worse than that of the residents in the center.Seeing someone buying something from Van Bilsen's store, many people gathered together holding up the restaurant and hotel signboards, enthusiastically recommending them to the two obviously rich people.

Xiao had never seen such a sight before—when he was in Cornova, he had only seen streets overlapped with dazzling advertising projections, and all the people soliciting business by the roadside were not real people.However, looking around now, there are very few technological traces that can be seen in New Athens. Occasionally, one or two craftsmen are repaired on the outer wall, and the mechanical assistants they bring are all the styles of the center decades ago.

He politely raised his hand to refuse, and turned his head to look at Eugene: "It seems that there are no robots and bionics here."

"That's because the manpower here is cheaper than the machines, and there is no need to repair them if they are worn out. Not to mention the bionics." Eugene's eyes were slightly heavy. "When you go to Sagrand, you will find that the situation is completely opposite. The people there need to transform themselves into machines in order to continue to live."

As if thinking of something bad, Eugene showed a non-smiling smile: "But whether it's the Alliance or Sagrand, those politicians are living in the vacuum of the capital star, and they can't see the rest of the world." the life and death of people."

As if realizing that what he said was a little disappointing, Eugene raised his eyebrows and forced himself to look around, trying to find an entry point to divert the topic.At this moment, a young man carrying an old-fashioned camera nimbly approached them, and said enthusiastically: "The ruins of Pailin are ahead*, you two should come to New Athens once in a while, don't you want to take a photo? "

Xiao didn't like him being too close to Eugene, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to refuse.But Eugene stopped because the boy mentioned the word "photo".

"……shoot."

Hearing this response, Xiao looked at Eugene in surprise.

He still remembered the words Eugene whispered in his ear at that time, and he was looking forward to the day when he could have a photo with him.However, at this time, there was a subtle sense of disobedience in Eugene's expression, which made him feel faintly uneasy before he was overjoyed.

The boy holding the camera showed an overjoyed expression, facing them, pressing the newsboy hat on his head, and leading the way backwards: "You won't regret it, this is the most suitable day It's time to take pictures! As long as we come to the commanding heights in front, we can not only see the panorama of Pailin, but also the sunset..."

Eugene kept looking forward, but he didn't seem to be listening to the boy's introduction.After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, the boy led them to the commanding height, and excitedly directed the two of them to stand still.After gesticulating and adjusting the angle, the boy finally raised the camera in his hand.

"Listen to my count to three, remember to smile, and prepare to..."

While looking at the camera, Xiao raised his left hand and put his arm around Eugene's shoulder.The body touched by him was a little stiff, making Xiao frowned slightly.

The moment the boy was about to press the shutter, Xiao grabbed Eugene's left hand with his right hand, pulled him in front of him, then lowered his head and kissed him.

In the picture recorded by the camera, the sun that has not yet set falls on the quiet ruins, dyeing the sky in soft and light orange and purple.Xiao's hair was stained with the color of the sky, most of it fell behind his shoulders, and a little fell on Eugene's forehead.He gave this kiss to his lover when he was unprepared, so even though he lowered his eyelashes, Eugene's golden eyes opened slightly, and under his shadow, they still reflected the light of the setting sun.Between their intersecting fingers, there are two rings that are closely adjacent to each other, and the edges are kissed with a circle of gold thread.

When he got this photo, Eugene's expression went blank for a moment.After a moment of silence, he quickly looked up at the boy, and took out twice the price: "...take another picture."

"No problem!" The boy happily responded, and then showed a disappointed expression when he checked the camera: "Ah, sorry sir, this is the last photo paper I brought today..."

"Can I buy it somewhere? I'll give you money." Eugene said, as if he wanted to take more cash out of his pocket.This made Xiao finally reach out and stop him, looking into his eyes while calling his name.

"Eugene."

These two words carry a strong meaning of restraint.

Eugene didn't look at him, and while looking for change, he explained: "There's only one photo, I don't want to cut it..."

"...Eugene." Xiao grabbed his wrist. "No need to cut. There won't be just one picture between us."

After hearing these words, Eugene finally raised his head to meet Xiao's eyes.

——This is the expression that caught his eyes when he pulled Eugene past him.

When he was supposed to be smiling at the camera, Eugene had a look of fear on his face.

When he realized this, his metal heart almost curled up.

He loosened his grip on Eugene's wrist.

"I'm still here tomorrow. We can watch the sunset one more time."

As Xiao said so, the eyes he looked at Eugene softened silently, and the gray-blue eyes reminded people of melting glaciers.

"I'm not going anywhere, and I'm not going away."

"So you don't have to do everything at once."

Eugene looked at him.

"This photo will be given to you, and you can put it wherever you want to save it."

Xiao smiled, and gently pressed the photo of the two of them against Eugene's breast pocket.

"...I'll wait for the next one."

Eugene has not moved.

The teenager behind them finally realized that he was witnessing a private conversation, looked left and right, and slipped away without a sound.

——New Athens has a season similar to that of Cornova. Although the wind in summer evening is soft, it is cooler.The sunset has not yet fully set, but the brightest stars can already be glimpsed at the edge of the pink sunset.The weary chirping of cicadas meets the leaves after the wind blows, this scene is as serene as a forgotten oil painting.

In a gentle and obscure shadow, Xiao silently waited for his lover to speak.After a long time, he watched his lover raise his hand and slowly cover his face.

For Eugene, Xiao's ability to easily see through him should have made him uneasy.

But he relied on this very much.

Because he knew that he couldn't take the initiative to express his emotions, and Xiao's words pierced through the defense that he didn't even know how to let go.

"...Xiao, I'm afraid."

He said.

It has nothing to do with reason or judgment, he always suspects that the happiness he is in has a time limit, and every second is one second less.This made him want to seize the opportunity in front of him no matter what, and desperately create memories that will not regret it in the future.Because he really understands too well how vulnerable his personal will and desire can be in the face of fate.

The sunset in front of his eyes was beautiful, the wind beside his ears was very calm, and Xiao was standing beside him.He repeated silently in his heart, trying hard to seize the time right now, but he just couldn't really appreciate a single bit of it.

He didn't know what to do.

Amidst the sound of the wind, Xiao held his hand and slowly walked towards the ruins of the classical era under his feet.They walked among the towering columns, passed the arched doorways, and finally stopped in the ruined atrium.

They are the only tourists visiting at this time, and they can enjoy the time when the night sky is full of stars.

Xiao sat down on a step, and then let Eugene sit on his body with the hands connected.

In a face-to-face posture, he put his wrist around Eugene's waist, and then looked up into the other's eyes.

"I'll hold you until you can confirm that I'm here."

After he finished saying this, Eugene lowered his head and hugged his shoulders.

In the long silence, Xiao felt the pain on Eugene's body.

... The flow of time became blurred in the process of their embrace.The coolness of the night wind was in stark contrast to Eugene's body temperature. They seemed to be a pair of animals warming each other in the dark, and the stars were watching them wordlessly.

At the end of the long silence, Xiao lowered his eyes and asked a question.

He asked Eugene if he would give his body to himself.

Such a question should have appeared when the pillow was the most affectionate, not when it was so quiet that it was almost solemn.

But Xiao's questioning was not out of his own desire/desire.

He felt that Eugene needed to be thoroughly imprinted by himself to have enough proof against fear that they already belonged to each other.

And he wanted to make every inch of Eugene's body familiar with him, until the other party no longer doubted his existence.

In the darkness, he couldn't see Eugene's expression clearly, but he could feel his nodding.

……

It's night, at the hotel next to the port of New Athens.

Eugene covered his face with his hands in vain, helplessly recognizing the other self in his body.

Xiao let go of his defenses, licked his wounds, opened his insides, and possessed him so completely that he couldn't feel anything other than Xiao.

The process was so tender that at the very end, he begged Shaw to destroy him.

——He wanted Xiao to shatter his past, all his regrets and fears, and reshape him into something that only belonged to Xiao.

And he got his wish.

"……I love you."

Xiao said so, lowered his head, and tightened his hands around his neck.

In the distracting white light, he becomes the container for all the emotions of the one he loves.

The author has something to say: it was fixed on December 12th.

*That is Pirene, located in the real ruins of Corih, Greece.

doi, but this is not a car for racing.

For these two people, the first union should be a very significant event.I want to write a feeling of two people completely becoming one and becoming a symbiotic one.
