Abandoned Lover [Future]

8 month 26 day.

Xiao was sitting on the bed wearing a simple white T-shirt, looking sideways at the sleeping person beside him.

... Eugene slept in late today.

This realization surprised him a little.In the past few months, wherever Eugene's physical and emotional condition allowed, he had not seen Eugene fall asleep after broad daylight, no matter where he was or how long the day and night spans were.

Especially when he slept so peacefully.

The wheat-colored body is sunk in the white sheet, and this contrasting contrast is straightforwardly sexy.Xiao couldn't help stretching out his hand, and brushed away the hair that blocked Eugene's eyes. Eugene, who was fast asleep, let out a "huh", opened his hand subconsciously, then turned over, and simply buried his face in the pillow.Xiao looked at a red mark that instantly appeared on the back of his hand, and smiled helplessly.

After waiting for more than an hour, Xiao bent down and kissed his lover awake.Eugene, who was sleeping fuzzily, frowned and wanted to hit him again, and he regained his composure after shaking his hands several times.The golden eyes that hadn't opened wide were slightly narrowed, and Eugene smiled slowly at Xiao.

"...Good morning." Eugene's voice was hoarse when he woke up, a little lower than his usual tone.

Xiao instantly forgave him.

In the bathroom, dressed, Eugene was brushing his teeth in front of the mirror.Xiao came up from behind and put his chin on the other's right shoulder, looking like a large dog resting.

He rubbed the hair on the back of Eugene's neck with the tip of his nose, and said, "The hair has grown."

Eugene pushed him with his hands: "Look for a place to cut later. You are so heavy, go down."

"How long did it take to dislike me?"

"... Where did you learn this kind of acting like a baby?"

The toothpaste foam fell on Xiao's cheeks, the mint foam was a bit icy, and the wet lips were a bit warm. This was a different kiss.

in the afternoon.

Eugene raised his hand to touch his hair, which was nearly two inches short.The neck part was pushed clean by the old bearded barber. This neat hairstyle made him look like when he just joined the army.

The two were walking on the streets in the center of the town, watching someone sitting on the top of the ladder, hanging golden and red decorations on the shop signboard.Eugene stood there looking up for a moment, belatedly realizing that it was still Sageron's festival season.

"If you like this place, we'll wait until the Fire Spirit Festival is over before we leave." Xiao looked at him, "Anyway, we need to wait for two weeks in the moment, not bad for those few days."

Eugene nodded, and then said, "I was just thinking about what I would need to burn if I were to go to the Spirit of Fire festival*."

As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at Xiao: "Thinking about it later, I don't have anything left. What's left, why not just keep it."

Xiao was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, "That's pretty good, too."

When changing clothes at night, Xiao watched as Eugene took out a small furry thing from the inner pocket of the trousers he was wearing today, and then put it in the pocket of the clothes he was going to wear tomorrow with a natural expression.

Xiao sorted out the clothes that the two of them had changed, and threw them into the service bag that needed to be laundered.He handed the bag to the waiter who came to pick it up, and then strode towards the bathroom.

Under the shower, Eugene had just wet his hair, and was a little dazed when he saw Xiao coming in. "You didn't just..."

"Wash together."

... Later, Xiao pressed Eugene against the glass partition, and pressed his slender white fingers between the other's lips and teeth.Such a movement made Eugene let out a vague whimper, and the sound of water splashing on them quietly covered the rhythmic crash.The steaming white water vapor formed two wet silhouettes, and Eugene blinked slowly, feeling that the world had turned into a humid and warm rainforest.

8 month 27 day.

"Where do you want to live in the future?" At eleven o'clock in the morning, Eugene sat in the restaurant serving brunch, pinching a fork while looking down at the menu in his hand.

"I don't even know what options I have." Xiao observed the movement of Eugene's lingering eyes, and answered with two purposes. "If I had to choose among the places we have been to, I would choose New Athens."

Eugene raised his head: "Why?"

"Because Karl is here. If you can meet him more often, you will be happier."

Eugene lowered his eyes and smiled.

"...If you really want to, no matter where you live, you can meet the people you want to meet. But you are right, New Athens is indeed a good place except for being a little poorer."

He raised his hand to gesture to the waiter, but he was still talking to Xiao: "But I think, maybe we can stay in Sagrand."

Xiao waited for him to explain.

"For your safety, you probably can't go back inside the center. On the contrary, the farther you are from the green star, the less trouble you will have in the future." The waiter came over, and Eugene turned his head and ordered black coffee and eggs ham muffins Shaw ordered French toast with butternut squash and maple syrup.Eugene glanced at him—the man had gotten a little more proficient at this kind of thing lately.

"Go on." Xiao looked back calmly, as if he hadn't always been staring at what Eugene wanted to eat.

Eugene shook his head, but there was a faint smile in his eyes: "... I have enough savings to open a repair workshop, but if I want to find business, I can only go to a big city outside the alliance center, or stay in a big city." In Sagrand. Now it seems that Sagrand has more chances.” He paused and sighed silently: “But it’s really not peaceful. If you don’t stay in the capital star circles on both sides, you will To suffer."

"Then do it in the way you want." Xiao replied, after thinking for a while, he prolonged the ending sound, and his voice was lazy, like some kind of complaint: "But since you have made up your mind, don't Ask for my opinion again."

Eugene's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Sorry, if you mind, we can completely reconsider..."

Xiao raised his hand and flicked it on his forehead, his expression had returned to normal.

"Just kidding. I don't mind."

"I said it a long time ago, as long as I can be with you, I can go anywhere."

"It may be strange to say, but my preferences are indeed your preferences. After all, unlike humans, I don't have any strong inclinations."

...except you.Xiao looked at Eugene with calm eyes.

When the coffee was served, Eugene lowered his head and tapped the edge of the cup with his nails: "I always thought that you always wanted to be treated as a human being."

"But I am not a human being, and I will never become a human being." There was no self-pity on Xiao's face, only a flawless indifference. "I did think before that it would be nice if I were human. But that's because I thought that was the only way for you to accept me."

"If you can accept me like this, I have no reason to deny myself." The hot meal was served immediately, Xiao picked up the knife and fork, and cut off a piece of toast covered with chopped walnuts in front of him , moved to Eugene's plate. "Compared with anxiety and doubt, I would like to spend the time in front of me on more meaningful things."

Realizing that his tone was too impersonal, Xiao quickly changed his expression and showed a gentle smile: "...For example, feed you."

The forked toast was brought to his mouth, and Eugene smiled through his nose, knowing that this was Xiao's cheap trick to please him.

But he opened his mouth anyway.

"It's so sweet..." Eugene frowned subconsciously, but put the finger that had wiped off the icing on the corner of his mouth and licked it.

Xiao held up the empty fork and smiled happily.

……

When he was about to fall asleep that night, Xiao suddenly shook Eugene who was in his arms.

"What happened all of a sudden?" Eugene turned around and looked at him with a faint light in his eyes.

"I think of one thing." Xiao frowned in a rare way, propped up his body on his elbows, his long light golden hair fell all over his back on his bare/naked skin. "Think about what you said this morning. Sacrament should forget it."

Eugene suddenly became more than half awake, wiped his forehead hair back, and sat up on the bed: "Is there any problem?"

"I forgot about radiation... You can't stay in a place like this forever."

Eugene was almost amused by him, and while he was relieved, he fell back on the head of the bed with a teasing expression on his face: "That's all? Am I a fragile doll in your eyes?"

"I'm serious." There was no compromise in Xiao's expression, his gray-blue eyes looked like carved ice. "Even if you don't think about yourself, think about me."

Knowing that he could no longer tease him, Eugene raised his hand to comb Xiao Yeli's cool long hair, and comforted him in a low voice: "I see. It's still early anyway, we can try our best to find a city that is in the safe range .”

Xiao also sat up, and then pulled him back into his arms with some force.

"Humans...can't live longer?"

The cyborg murmured hallucinatoryly in his ear.

Eugene suddenly got hot-eyed, but still said with a relaxed smile: "It's much better than before. The average life expectancy of the alliance has already reached ninety. If this trend continues, there will probably be centenarians everywhere in the future. "

Xiao lowered his head and gently twirled the ring on Eugene's left ring finger with his fingers.

"……not enough."

After a long time, Eugene heard these two words.He smiled, but was unable to speak.

He put his hand on Xiao's arm and patted it, which was a kind of weak comfort.

—how terrible.In the past, he always felt that if someone loved him, even a quarter of an hour a day would be good.

However, when their wishes come true, they just want to hold such time tightly in their hands, and even decades are too little.

……

8 month 29 day.

Shu Mo looked at the two people outside the door in surprise.

"Mr. Eugene and... Xiao, Mr. Xiao, why are you here?"

Ruth went to the town to buy groceries, and the black-haired young man specially put on a wide-brimmed hat to open the door for the two of them.

These two people wore casual clothes today, and the coercion of the humanoid heritage was much less than last time, while Mr. Eugene looked five hundred times more approachable than last time.

The pair of golden eyes that he was thinking about for a moment were so bright that they were almost dazzling, combined with Mr. Eugene's smile, the lethality was as powerful as some kind of precision strike heavy weapon.Shu Mo felt dizzy through the black veil, and almost put his hands behind his head to support himself.

Fortunately, Xiao's voice woke him up mercilessly: "Hi, we came here today to confirm the progress of the task."

Setsuna seemed to be the student whose homework was checked by the teacher when he was in school. While taking off the hat on his head, he led the two of them to the workshop stiffly: "The urgent materials were just delivered yesterday, and I just started preparing for the design. I, Ah, I'm not being lazy..."

"We didn't doubt your meaning." Eugene cleared the siege in a timely manner. "Actually, I want to see if there is anything I can help than confirm the progress of the work." He turned his head and glanced disapprovingly. Xiao glanced at him, as if blaming him for being frightened.

Su Mo was stunned for a moment: "Help?"

Eugene turned around and looked a little embarrassed: "Although it may not look like it, I used to be a special technician in Cornova. Although my specialization is aircraft, I still know a little about energy power and component assembly. of."

Setsuna didn't charge them for the cost of work, which made Eugene feel very sorry, and thought that since they were all idle, it was better to come here and give Setsuna a hand.In addition, he also wanted to know more about the parts on Xiao Xin's installation. In case of any accident in the future, he might be able to find a way to repair it.

However, no matter how simple the starting point was, this was already a steal, and Eugene was ready to be rejected.Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he began to nod frantically in an instant. The speed was so fast that there was almost an afterimage.

"Okay, no problem, of course you are welcome to come anytime, are you going to start now?" The young man said a series of cannonballs, only to belatedly realize that he was over-excited again.While covering his face in his heart and weeping for his embarrassing behavior, he put his hands on his head and patted him lightly.

"……Thank you."

Turning around for a moment, I happened to see a tolerant and adult smile on the other party's handsome face.

Ah... Mr. Eugene is an angel...

Just as he was sighing silently, his eyes turned and fell on the unsmiling inheritance beside Eugene.

The angel was caught by the devil...

In the middle of the show in the small theater in Shan Mo's mind, the left wing where the workshop is located has already arrived.The young man opened the isolation door with some dismay, pointed to the messy inner room and introduced: "Please come in, sorry, the materials are still piled up..."

In Xiao's ear, a huge tinnitus swept over.A few white-gold crystal lattices appeared in his eyes instantly, and his gaze was directed to the glowing fluorescent piece in the middle of the room, which was placed on the blue crystal in the isolation device.

……

This is the White Tower.

He stands in the space at the top of the White Tower.

Someone is asking him.

—Are you going back to your throne?

— Come back to your cage.

The author has something to say:

*As I wrote before, the Fire Spirit Festival is a large-scale festival corresponding to the Tibetan Summer Festival, and it is held on the last day of the celebration season.On that day, participants will burn the things they want to say goodbye to on a huge fire (inspired by Burning Man, as mentioned earlier).

I hope everyone can appreciate the compatibility between Xiao and Eugene in these chapters.
