Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

"Can't sleep?"

When Eli wanted to change his position for the third time, he just moved his legs, thinking that he had lightened his movements to the extreme, so that he would not disturb the person who was sleeping behind him.

But Allen's voice sounded suddenly, and he didn't sound sleepy, it didn't look like he just woke up.

He was taken aback by the other party's question.

"...Alan?" Because he was quite surprised that the black-haired youth might have woken up long ago, Eli hesitated to call Alan's name. He was a little ridiculously worried that it was actually him who hadn't woken up and was in a dream. sound heard.

Allen was awake, however, and responded with a single tone: "Yeah."

The sheets and pillows at the back made a rustling sound, and Eli felt a warm source of heat approaching him. He blinked slowly, and before he was ready to turn his head to face Alan, he saw it from the corner of his eye. There was a little shadow.

——It was Allen who propped up his body on the mattress, and was supporting his upper body and looking down at him.

Eli was lying on his side, and in front of him was the wooden wall of the cabin bedroom. After Alan was worried all night for the first night, fearing that he would fall in the middle of the night, then this night, he exchanged sleeping positions with him very strongly. He drove him to the bed to sleep on his side, and he acted as a set of "human safety fences", using his body to block the occasional dishonest movements of Eli in the middle of the night.

This cabin has been weather-beaten, and it may be older than Allen and Eli combined. Like Hall, he can also be regarded as a "senior".

It's just that the appearance of this "Senior House" is not as good as that of Hall, who has the special skill of "freezing time".

No matter how the small wooden house is maintained by the townspeople in turn, it is only functionally perfect now, and there is no risk of becoming a dangerous house for the time being. As for the beauty of the walls and beams inside, it complies with the natural law of "aging and fading". There are many mottles on the wooden walls, and the paint surface peels off in one piece and in the other. It is difficult to keep the color of the newly filled paint in a complete and consistent manner, which makes the wall look like a pile of large and small patches. Painted face.

The few pieces of wood that Eli faced were the ones that had been patched.

I don’t know what kind of twists and turns the wall here has gone through. The patch on the top layer still reveals the residual color of the patch on the lower layer. It seems that it has been lost and refilled many times, and the edges are almost assembled into a set of gradient colors.

Eli couldn't help staring at it for a moment.

Afterwards, he reacted through the light airflow falling on half of his cheeks and ears, and Allen was still staring at him.

He left aside the black-haired young man who was looking down at his situation, and accidentally forgot about it for a while.

"sorry."

Eli, who realized the problem, hastily apologized.

He thinks it's better to look people in the eye when expressing apology, facing the wall himself, it looks like he is apologizing to the wall.

But he failed to turn over.

Allen's arm happened to be propped behind his back, and when he moved his back, he stuck to the other's arm, and was circled by the other half of his body.

Allen hugged Eli from behind in the posture of Eli lying on his side.

"It's okay." Allen said, with a very gentle voice, and brushed away a few strands of hair that were about to catch Eli's eyes.

Eli closed his eyes reflexively when Alan's fingers touched his eyes. He felt the faint touch of the other's fingertips, but what he thought about was: his voice and what he would hear in the evening. It looks completely different.

After exchanging what each other had and the news that could be exchanged, Elvis didn't stay in the hut for too long. As soon as night fell, he said goodbye to Allen and Eli, and took a whole day outside with him. Rhodes left in the evening.

Eli knew that he was not in the right state at that time. He began to be absent-minded after hearing that his household registration had been canceled by Angelo's official notification. What he did all night seemed to be that only part of his soul was left to control his body, and most of his thoughts flew away. I don't know which sky.

But even if he was in a bad state at that time, he clearly remembered one thing-Alan seemed to be angry.

Ever since he was still studying in the academy, the black-haired young man could only be called a teenager. He seemed to have an indifferent appearance, and he did everything with a calm expression, whether he was being questioned or sought after. , and his expression is still calm, and he rarely sees his expression showing too much emotion, and he has not seen big mood swings.

Relying on the only part of his thinking that remained after hearing the news, Eli tried to recall after realizing that Allen was angry, and found that he couldn't find a few fragments related to "Allen was angry" in his memory.

...and the other party was really angry today, with a cold expression and a cold voice.

is for him.

Allen: "What are you thinking?"

The finger that had played with the hair didn't take it away for too long, and soon fell back, gently stroking from the ear to the cheek.

From Allen's point of view, the blond young man lowered his eyebrows slightly after listening to his words, and the other party suddenly stopped talking, making the room fall into a sudden silence.

Seeing that the other party began to curl up unconsciously, and there was a tendency to curl up more and more, he made another sound, calling back the person who was obviously distracted.

There was a sudden pause in Eli's crouching movement, and the eyelashes on the side that looked particularly thick trembled, and the head with messy sleeping hair slowly turned around, meeting Alan's gaze.

"Thinking... maybe I'm ashamed," Eli whispered.

Allen's eyebrows twitched briefly, and he moved his hand on the other's cheek: "What is the basis?"

Asked, Allen flicked Eli's forehead lightly with his hand: "If it is influenced by external evaluation, you don't need to listen to those rumors at all."

"Well." Eli let out a muffled grunt because of this bullet. He lay down and put himself closer to Alan's arm. It doesn’t matter, it’s just what I think.”

"Why?" Allen didn't continue to immediately deny Eli's point of view, he adjusted his posture to make both of them more comfortable.

"I couldn't sleep, I was immersed in my own thoughts, and I woke you up for a long time. Not only did I find nothing... I also feel that you can wake up and be with me at ease. This is the first reason." Eli said .

Seeing that the black-haired young man's lips moved slightly, he was about to refute himself, and it was rare for Eli to be quick-eyed in front of Allen.

He raised his finger and quickly touched the other's lips: "I want to finish first, okay?"

Allen followed his expectations and shut up again.

And held that bold finger in the palm of his hand, and squeezed it lightly.

Eli was pinched as if he was paralyzed from his fingertips to his shoulders, and he shrank unconsciously. At least his train of thought was not interrupted by this slight numbness, allowing him to continue talking.

"The second reason is also related to us." Eli said softly, "I was deregistered and officially announced that I have nothing to do with An Qiluo and the academy. Logically speaking, I should be sad, Al Bota has a special meaning to me, and Anqiluo is the hometown where I grew up... But when I found out that you might be really angry about me, when you were angry, I was actually a little bit happy, because of what you exposed Happy to maintain."

"...What's the shame in this?" Allen quickly answered, he held Eli's entire hand with his fingers, and hugged him even tighter.

The ups and downs of life have treated this person badly enough, and he is willing to treat him well.

He deserves all the joyous emotions in the world.
