Save (Gusion x Lesley)

Chapter Twelve

I know I said I won't be updating this not until I finish See You in My Dreams but ideas for this book keeps on bugging me XD

~~~~~

"We should call it a day for now." Lesley heard Gusion said, "We need to find a place to stay."

Lesley just nodded to him. She also felt tired from their travel this day.

They already left Eruditio City after they talked to SABER Squad. They informed them that her little brother was now a member of the unknown group so their search was now easier compared before because they already had a lead.

They split into three groups so they could find the hideout of the group faster. Though both of them rejected the offer of the group to lend them a vehicle since they chose to search for hideous towns. Vehicles weren't really convenient for rocky, narrow paths of forests.

They tried to find inns but they were all crammed. Except for one inn but there was only one available room.

"How come all of the inns were crammed when this town is even on a rural area?" Lesley couldn't help to blurt out.

"This town is in the outskirts of Moniyan Empire and near the Swan Kingdom. Most of the hunters stay here, young lady." The landlady of the inn answered.

"Hunters?" She asked.

"Hunters, assassins– name it. The next town from this place is the Machiavellian– the assassins' town."
(A/N: I just made this town okay? XD)

Lesley and Gusion gasped and looked at each other.

"We'll take that one room." Lesley said then handed the landlady a small bag of coins.

"Les, we can stay in the forest–"

"We are literally surrounded by assassins Gus. I know we are both assassin-hybrids but I want to rest. I'm physically, emotionally, and mentally tired." She looked at him pleadingly, "Please?"

Gusion sighed and got the key from the landlady before carrying their things, "Anything you want."

Lesley smiled at him as a thank you.

The room had actually a single bed near the wall, a mini table in front of a sofa, cabinet, a shoe rack, and a door that she assumed was the bathroom.

In short, it was only meant for one person but they didn't have any other choice but to stay together in this small room.

"Are you going to wash up first?" She asked him.

"I'm going to get us some food. You can use the bathroom first." Gusion answered while getting some money from his bag.

Lesley nodded and got some clothes before she entered the bathroom. At the same time, Gusion left to get them food.

She stayed under the shower for she didn't know how long. She put her clothes on and went out only to see Gusion was already back, preparing the food on the table.

She handed him the towel she was using to dry her hair, "There is only one towel."

Gusion was frozen to where he was standing and looked at her hesitatedly, "You sure you want me to use that?"

Lesley was confused first for she didn't know what he meant until she realized it.

She already used the towel to dry her body and now she was offering it to Gusion to use it as well.
