By Zephyria “……Is this a lie?”
Grayson contorted his mouth as he asked. His voice trembled faintly, as if he were trying to laugh but his lips were spasming.
“You said you’d give me your body, don’t you remember?”
The following words came quickly, as if he were anxious. But Dane only frowned and stared at him. Grayson’s face immediately turned pale at Dane’s reaction.
“You remember telling me you loved me, right? Huh? You remember, Dane!”
“I did?”
“Yes, you did!”
Please, he cried urgently, but Dane still had a blank expression. Oh my god, this can’t be happening. Just as he felt the world collapsing.
“Pfft, hahahaha, ack.”
Dane, who had suddenly burst into laughter, screamed. Grayson, seeing him clutching his broken ribs and groaning, blinked in confusion before quickly grasping the situation.
“You liar, you tricked me!”
His face, which had been white, turned red with anger, but Dane was just holding onto his broken ribs.
……Is this divine punishment?
Haa, haa, he recalled, gasping for painful breath. Playing around with something like this was definitely something he shouldn’t have done. With deep remorse, Dane barely managed to open his mouth.
“……I’m sorry.”
Grayson, who had been watching him with wide eyes at the fading voice, said triumphantly.
“There are things you can say and things you can’t.”
“Yeah.”
“This is very bad, a very low-class joke.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Dane readily admitted. But still, Grayson didn’t soften his expression. Hmm, Dane pondered for a moment and asked.
“Want to touch my chest?”
It was meant to be a gesture of reconciliation, but it was not a good attempt. Surprisingly, Grayson snorted and declared arrogantly.
“Your body is mine, Venus is mine too. That means I can touch it whenever I want.”
“Ah…….”
I see, Dane muttered like a sigh. Grayson, keenly aware of his subtle reaction, raised the corners of his lips and chuckled.
“It’s no use regretting it now, you already said so.”
It was as if he had seen through Dane’s mind. Dane, who had been thinking that he might have been a little too hasty, was dumbfounded at the sight of the triumphant puppy and laughed, letting out a breathy sound.
“I know, puppy. So you don’t have to be impatient.”
He was about to say, stop wagging your tail, but he closed his mouth. There’s no tail, right.
Instead, his ears were moving diligently, unlike his wide eyes. Dane wanted to tug on his ears slightly, but he hesitated because of the handcuffs. Dane, staring intently at the object connecting himself and Grayson’s wrists, opened his mouth.
“What were you going to do if I said I would hold out until the end in there?”
In fact, he had given up everything. It was impossible to get out alone, but if there had been a chance to live, he would have made at least a minimal effort. Nevertheless, he asked this question simply because he was curious. What was this guy thinking, when he thought I was dying?
“I would have knocked you out and dragged you out.”
The answer came without hesitation. Dane frowned.
“Didn’t you say you would die with me?”
Was this guy just trying to reassure me?
“Of course, that was sincere.”
Should he say he was admirable or still absurd? Just as he was thinking, Grayson said.
“It’s too early to die yet.”
Then he smiled brightly.
“I’d rather see you alive, if possible.”
“Ha…… Augh.”
Dane, who was about to burst into absurd laughter, gritted his teeth with a groan.
“Are you okay, Dane?”
Grayson’s face came into his blurred vision. He leaned towards Dane, looking worried, and continued.
“Don’t overdo it, the surgery was successful, but the doctor said it will be difficult to breathe for a while.”
Of course, it would be.
He could tell what condition he was in without having to hear it. Haa, Dane let out a short breath and closed his eyes, lying on the bed. When he slowly lifted his eyelids, he immediately met Grayson’s eyes. He could tell very clearly that he had been watching him all along. It was nothing new. Always, every time, he had been looking only at Dane like this.
For some reason, his nose tingled, so Dane deliberately raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
“Come here, I want to kiss you.”
Deliberately pulling the wrist connected by the handcuffs, Grayson, who had been defenseless, faltered. Dane, still smiling, urged him to blink his surprised eyes.
“Hurry.”
“Okay.”
Grayson answered without hesitation and leaned over Dane. Dane felt good at the sight of the purple eyes sparkling with anticipation and the sweet scent spreading around him. He wanted to raise his hand and pull Grayson’s head closer, but the moment he tried to lift his arm, a chilling pain swept through his body as if electricity was running through him, and he frowned.
Haa, Dane let out a stuffy sigh and simply gave up, waiting for Grayson to come closer. His pulse quickened, perhaps because he was embarrassed by his position like a princess in a fairy tale. For some reason, his cheeks felt hot. He might have a fever. Thinking that far, he suddenly frowned.
Perhaps, he thought, when he suddenly realized that their lips had not yet touched. It felt like enough time had passed to already be kissing and mixing saliva to his heart’s content before panting and pulling away. Of course, that was just Dane’s assumption. In reality, unable to endure the wait of only 4 or 5 seconds, Dane opened his eyes. At the same time, he met Grayson’s eyes, who was stopped right in front of him, looking down at him.
“What? You.”
Dane asked with a frown, as always. Why is the guy who was just wagging his tail so excitedly suddenly like this? Grayson opened his mouth to Dane, who was wondering.
“Tell me first, that you love me.”
“What?”
At the unexpected words, Dane asked again. But Grayson stubbornly repeated the same words with a very serious face.
“Tell me, that you love me.”
To his surprise, he was serious. More serious than ever, looking down at Dane with an expression that seemed almost desperate, Grayson added briefly.
“Like you did back then.”
At the unexpected words, Dane could only widen his eyes. What are you talking about all of a sudden, you bastard……. He thought, but soon Grayson’s lips, trembling faintly as he looked at him, came into view. His ears weren’t moving at all either. Dane, realizing that Grayson was even holding his breath and waiting for his answer, was speechless. If it had been the old him, he would have laughed it off. He might have cursed him to stop talking nonsense.
But he couldn’t do anything now.
Dane tried to raise his hand, but he flinched and frowned. Pain seemed to spread throughout his body, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Right now, the puppy in front of him was so pitiful, pathetic, and heartbreaking.
Slowly, enduring the pain, he raised his hand and grabbed the back of Grayson’s head. Haa, a stuffy sigh escaped his lips. A peaceful smile spread over his face distorted with pain.
“Okay.
Damn it, I love you, Grayson Miller.”
Because he was so lovable.
Dane looked Grayson straight in the eye and confessed again.
“I love you, so let’s be together.”
Grayson opened his mouth. A trembling voice flowed from between his trembling lips.
“Forever?”
“Yes, forever.”
In contrast to Grayson’s voice, Dane said firmly. Then, the corners of his mouth relaxed.
“Even though I don’t know how long your forever is.”
As soon as those words were spoken, Grayson placed his lips on Dane’s. His tongue pushed in haphazardly and stirred violently inside his mouth. Dane just let his reckless kiss happen. He felt like his ribs were screaming under Grayson’s weight, but he endured it. He thought that this must be the hardship of owning a giant puppy.
“Dane, Dane…”
Grayson kept calling his name, rubbing his lips, licking his cheeks, and showering him with kisses again. Dane generously accepted him, saying yes, yes. Even knowing that he was busily fondling Venus with the hand that wasn’t handcuffed throughout the kiss.
I’ve been completely caught.
