Cleves stared fixedly at Jules, and waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for his kiss.

"You don't want to kiss me?"

Jules, who has always been honest, shook his head with difficulty, "...No."

"I'm very disappointed." Clavis' tone was indifferent, with willful dissatisfaction, "You have a bad temper, Jules. If I kiss you without your consent, you will turn on me."

He frankly is like a cannonball, straight to the point.Jules, who couldn't help blushing, thought so.

"...If you know, don't do such a thing."

"So," he demanded directly, "you kiss me."

Jules was a little annoyed, "No one is allowed to hesitate?"

"...and said he wasn't teasing me."

"It's really not a tease." Jules quickly denied it, but then lowered his voice, sounding a little guilty, "Cravis, I actually wanted to do this to you a long time ago, I, I..." He lowered his head and smiled bitterly silently, with a touch of sweetness, "I do love you, and I do hesitate because of it..."

Clewis looked suspiciously at the man in front of him who he had longed for for many years, "I don't understand why you hesitate, and I can't understand why you... want me to forget about that." Jules said honestly The confession touched his longing that had been suppressed for many years, and it was rare for him to soften, "I don't want to forget, and I don't want it to be a memory. Jules, I want you to be by my side so that I can kiss you , hug you, get close to you..." He further tempted, "I want to be like you now..."

"From...from many years ago, you know that I...have always put responsibility first."

"I will not hinder your responsibility, Jules, I will not interfere with your..."

"How is it possible?" Jules stood up suddenly, pacing anxiously in the dark room of Kravis, "You don't understand what I'm hesitating at all...you, you..." He stopped walking , turned around and stared at Clavis, with a distressed look on his brows, and after watching for a full minute, he sighed faintly, "Put on your clothes first, it's cold in the room."

His tone was more considerate and gentle than he had been in these years.

Cleves couldn't help being depressed, but he couldn't lose his temper. Seeing Jules change the topic, he picked up his robe and handed it to him.

"Put it on first..." Jules raised his eyebrows as he suddenly pinched a stack of hard, square things in his hand, "What is this?"

"...my tarot card." Klevis took the clothes, and showed him the remaining 21 cards of the Great Arcana Tarot from his pocket, "It seems that it scared you a little bit." Jump."

Jules suddenly took a card and pressed it face down.

Klevis couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise, "You know how?"

"No." Jules handed it to Kravis, "With you here, wouldn't it be fine?"

But he handed the card back, "It's best for a fortuneteller not to divination about things related to himself."

Jules hesitated for a moment, turned over the card, looked at the lover in the right position, and couldn't make a sound for a long time.

"Need I explain? It's also a sign of hard choices... and connotations of reconciliation."

"I didn't expect it to be 'lover'," Jules suddenly sighed in a low voice, "what an incredible term."

"Unbelievable?" Klevis laughed contemptuously, "This is a very basic relationship between people."

"The patron saint is actually not qualified to love... I never... never thought..."

"Many people have lovers, as long as they are willing...that is just a relationship extended by love. If you want, you can also have lovers..." Kravis couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, he had always been The calm expression was broken, revealing a rare anxiety and fragility, "No matter how heavy the duty of the guardian saint is, he is still a human being who needs love. Jules, as long as you are willing, I will be your lover."

"I……"

Kravis couldn't hide his doubts, "What are you hesitating about?"

"Don't you care? In the future, you will be sneaky and shameless..."

"...Why, why?" Kravis couldn't help but laugh, "Will I love Jules written on my face? People can see it when I walk out? Do you want to get a tattoo for me?"

"You really don't understand."

"You speak clearly."

"If you don't want others to see it, isn't it just concealing it? Because you have done something shameful, you have been covering it up since then, as sneaky as if you did something bad, and you can no longer hold your head up high..."

Jules cited a bunch of reasons irritably, and raised his head, his face was full of distress.

He is such an upright and bright person, the covert behavior will make him feel painful, right?Clavis turned around and walked to the window silently, avoiding Jules' eyes, "I don't want you to suffer."

"Could it be," Jules walked behind him and asked him in a low voice, "Can't you?"

"Of course not." Klevis quickly asked back, "Why should I let others know about my private affairs?"

Jules pointed to the glazed rose placed in the corner of his room, "Didn't you encounter this kind of problem when Wang Li sent the army to give it to you?" A very popular prayer technique, "When someone asks you who is the person you care about the most, can you answer it?"

"...I answered the commander of the night owl army very directly, telling him 'this is my private matter', but he didn't ask any further questions. In fact, the object of my prayer is you... It is necessary to say it honestly What does this have to do with other people? Do you still need to ask the public's consent before you love me?"

"...so you don't understand my hesitation."

Clavis turned and stood straight in front of Jules, staring at him.Jules immediately lowered his eyes, but his gaze was placed in a strange way... as if he was staring at Clavis' lips.

Is it an illusion?Isn't it an illusion?

Clives hesitated and slowly stretched out his hand towards him. Jules' face that couldn't hide his words immediately showed an expression of wanting to avoid and respond, but he didn't move after all, letting Clives Si hugged him gently.

"I really can't understand your hesitation, but I..."

"Cravis?"

"I like to hold you like this." Jules was about the same height as Clavis himself, with a slender figure, firm and soft to hold, always carrying a steady, mature and elegant fragrance.He hugged Jules gently, turned his head and rubbed his cheek lightly with his cheek, silently expecting that the person in his arms would also extend his arms to hug him, but he never waited.

"Cravis, I... still..."

"Are you refusing? Or are you hesitating?"

"I don't want to refuse, but..." Jules frowned in confusion, standing there at a loss, "I don't know how to make a decision..."

Clewis let go of his hand, seeing Jules still standing there in the same bewildered posture, he understood that he was indeed struggling.But he didn't give up, leaned over, pulled Jules to sit on the edge of the bed, "There's nothing to hesitate, don't be stupid."

There was only one chair in the bedroom... so sitting on the edge of the bed was a good decision.Looking at Jules sitting next to him, Cleves thought so.The kind of chair with high armrests has always been for lonely people.

"...We've always been so lonely." Clewis smiled wryly, "The years in the Holy Land are too horribly long, and one more day is so hard... Jules, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's been so long."

"Wouldn't it be in the future?" He gently hugged Jules' body, feeling a little uneasy, and his uneasy fingertips sank into Jules' soft, curly blond hair, "When you're lonely, don't you miss such a hug? ?” The color of the blond hair became more and more dazzling in the darkness, but it remained silent and motionless...

"Ok?"

Jules didn't struggle at all.

"Julius?"

He didn't speak.

"answer me……"

He asked with difficulty, "...what do you want me to answer you?"

Clavis snorted, "Just say 'yes'. It's that simple," he lowered his voice, "just say that you are willing to stay with me, and don't distance yourself from each other... Promise me? Zhu Reese, please..."

Jules finally raised his head, "As the patron saint of His Majesty, you must always remember your identity. It's been 20 years, do you need me to remind you?" His expression was very unhappy, "You are His Majesty The patron saint of darkness, think about your identity? Is your identity the ability to ask for help? Always figure out what you should and should not do."

"Another reprimand." If Clavis cared about Jules reprimanding him more than a dozen times a day, he wouldn't be the Patron Saint of Darkness who had given him headaches for 20 years. He barely held back his contemptuous tone and downplayed Provocatively provoking him, "Aside from preaching and reprimanding, can't you tell me something else?"

"I, I didn't..." Jules felt speechless again, "What do you want me to tell you?"

"Then there's no need to ask? If you don't agree, I'll keep talking." Klevis lowered his cold voice, which sounded so sweet.He softly called the name of the man in front of him, "Julies, promise me...will you? Promise me...say 'yes'."

Jules pressed his lips, "You're so talkative today. I..." Before he could finish his sentence, Cleves, who still wanted to say something, suddenly licked his fingertips lightly with the tip of his tongue.Seeing that Jules' fair face was flushed in a second, he couldn't speak, and let go of his hand in a daze.

Cleves, who was finally able to speak, asked him briefly, "Say 'yes'."

"……it is good."

"Kiss me." Kravis provoked him again, "You can't refuse me, Jules, you can't refuse."

"...You bastard." Jules cursed abruptly, but he really obeyed his thoughtless order, and kissed him very firmly.

Clewis quickly responded to his kiss, and he felt that he was so eager that it was simply abnormal. Jules didn't know how to evaluate his enthusiasm that could not be ignited at all on weekdays.Everything was beautiful, Jules' kiss was beautiful, and the fingers stroking his cheek were also beautiful.Holding him in my arms, the faint fragrance of his body became more and more vivid, and the whole bedroom was filled with his warm fragrance.

Everything was too good to be true.

After the two of them had exhausted the oxygen in their chests, he released Jules gently.

"...Damn it." Jules murmured, pressed his cheek in a daze, and stared blankly for a while.

Clavis laughed and put his arms around him again, "I love you."



The fledgling couple struggled to accommodate each other's smile or hug, trying to be more tender with each other.Jules refrained from his own lecturing habits; Kravis spent the night gently pressing Jules' swollen knuckles and whispering to him without a single sarcasm.Until Jules was too tired to open his eyes, they still showed no signs of arguing.

"I should go back too."

"Sleep like this for a while, and go back at dawn. Be obedient," Kravis raised his chin and pointed out the window, "Leave the dark red glow outside to me to deal with."

"... Mr. Clavis, who is usually too lazy to take care of things, is so hardworking."

Clevers smiled and said nothing, stretched out his hand to brush away the blond hair for him, and let him lie down peacefully.On Jules's face, there was a gentle and lazy smile that he hadn't seen for several years, and he closed his eyes as he wanted.

Just such a simple smile touched Clevers' heart deeply.

He secretly prayed that this moment would become eternity, and for the first time sincerely thanked God for allowing him to come to the Holy Land and become the patron saint of darkness.
