First Light After Winter [BL]

Chapter X. -B R E A D

Gendro stood up and took a few steps towards the boy. His face was wearing a stern expression.

And as Gendro expected, Yone involuntary flinched and his breath quickened. Gendro could now clearly see the anxiety as he approached the boy. Yone knew what would happen next and even if he tried to hide that fact his body and instincts couldn't.

Gendro took slow steps towards Yone. He could feel how the atmosphere grew more and more tense with every step he took. In only a moment he stood directly in front of the boy. He could now clearly see how tense Yone was.

Gendro lifted his hand.

Yone flinched and sucked in a breath. He knows what comes next. He is used to what comes next but still, his body still reflexively brazed itself for something bad to happen again.

Gendros hand was now hovering directly above Yone. Yones head was still hanging low as he stared at the ground. As he waited for Gendro to do something.

He waited,

And he waited,

And, he-

Slowly Yone grew confused about what Gendro was waiting for?? If you're going to do it at least do it quick!!

At last, Gendro slowly lowered his hand patting the boy.

Petting the boy?

"?_?"

Gendro gently stroked the smooth white hair, being careful to avoid touching those sensitive ears.

'Fluffy...'

After petting Yone for a while Gendron realized that he had patted him for too long and slightly coughed as he retreated his hand.

"Ahem...You can keep calling me Mr. Gendro or drop the honorifics, I don't care."

Saying so Gendro looked down onto the boy

'... does he wanna keep, the mister or does he want me to call him on a first name basis?? hrm....based on his first reaction he wants the latter but calling a master by their first name is very disrespectful. Let's play safe, I want to stay here for a while Mr. Gendro it is.'

Yone slowly lifted his head. Having taken notice that Gendro didn't seem angered at getting looked at he looked him directly up into his handsome face. He made a nervous expression, his eyes slightly looked down from the left to right before they eventually looked up at gendro.

"I...I would like to keep calling you Mr, Mr.Gendro."

"Ok.."

Gendro couldn't take staring into these eyes too much. They were filled with too much disgust. Yone probably thought that he was into little kids... Gendro averted his eyes, not wanting to see these eyes which were showing a pitiful display of innocence and hope.

Since Yone has lifted his head, and the shirt he was wearing was pretty oversize, Gendro could see the thin collarbone of Yone.

And as his eyes inevitably traveled downwards...he could even spot two rosy spots adorned on the pale white chest of the boy.

Gendro quickly looked to the side, concealing his shock and embarrassment by a slight cough.

"Cough.. we... we should get you some more fitting clothes..."

Yone was slightly puzzled at Gendros's sudden reaction, but seeing that the tip of Gendros ears had slightly turned red he could only assume that his perfect acting of an innocent cute boy took effect.
