First Light After Winter [BL]

IX. -A game of house?

Gendro stood in front of a small house with a slightly fidgety expression. Next to him stood Yone with a flat expression very much so contrasting Gendros.

"Er... so this is my house..."

"Mh."

Yone nodded.

As they stepped inside the building a minimalistic interior could be seen. Next to the front door were two doors, one on each side.

"This is.. the bathroom.. and er this is my bedroom."

Saying so gendro pointed first to the right and then to the left.

"Mh."

Yone nodded.

"..."

With a weird expression, Gendro continued walking forward.

"This is the kitchen.. and this is the living room..."

He stepped into a bigger room with the kitchen being on the left side, directly connected to the living room where a single couch with a small coffee table stood. There were two windows, illuminating the room in a warm atmosphere. The walls were decorated with some shelves and cabinets.

"Mh."

Yone nodded.

"You er.. know how to use a kitchen right?"

"Mh."

Yone nodded again.

".........er... ah! Eh have you ever sat on a couch before they are super comfy, ha ha..! ...It was also very expensive..."

Gendro nervously spoke, wryly smiling as he tried to create any kind of conversation but the last part was obviously only some small mumbling.

"Mh."

Yone nodded.

"..."

That was his last Trump card. His prized possession which only very few commoners had in their home the couch. Gendro gave a reluctant sigh.

'Siiigh how did it end up like this?!'

                                 ____------____

A few hours prior.

"Ge-endro~"

Melly sweetly called out as she skipped towards Gendro. In response to Mellys weird behavior, Gendro cautiously took some steps back.

As Melly kept on approaching, Gendro decided to flee. He had the bad premonition that Melly is up to no good. But just as he turned away a hand grasped his shoulder.

Gendro shook. The hand had surprisingly much strength as Gendro slowly turned around, avoiding eye contact.

"Aya... Gendro.. why are you avoiding me~? We are good friends right?"

"..."

"You see I faced quite the problem the last few days But the solution is standing right in front of me."

"Do you... want money? I- I can give you money!"

"Nono Gendro~ I have enough money but.. you are living alone right?"

"...yes?"

"And you don't have anything against beastmen right?"

".........yes?"

"So you would surely not mind taking one in right?"

Saying so Mellys grip increased and her she gave off a dangerous feeling. Gendro had already understood that his opinion was irrelevant so he could only give in to Mellys demand.
