EROS [Zerg]

"So Eros really has something he's been hiding from Ka?" The little boy rested his forehead against Eros's chest, muttering unhappily, his soft body pressing all its weight onto Eros.

In Kam's memory, the female insect's shoulders, which were originally thin, could now support him steadily.

"Kamo, I'm sorry." Eros gently patted the little boy's head.

"I don't want to hear sorry." Kammo frowned and squirmed restlessly in Eros's arms. "Does Eros think I'm useless? When we came to the First Star System, so many high-ranking males were swarming around you. Kammo, who was once liked by Eros, is no longer liked. Who told me to be just a C-rank male insect cub?"

"So Eros prefers other males."

Kamehameha pouted, tears welling up in his eyes: "The Kenyan male they're talking about is a B-grade male, and Ellie is an S-grade male... They're all better than me. Compared to them, Kamehameha is just a piece of trash."

Eros quickly rubbed Kamehameha's round face:

"No, I don't like any other male insects."

Eros kept his eyes on Kam: "I don't like Kenyan male or Eli male, Eros only likes Kam."

"Why? They are all very powerful male insects..." Kam was worried that Eros was just deceiving her. Whether female or male, they are born attracted to the strong; they will only like the good and the better.

Why would Eros, who is favored by so many high-ranking males, not like them?

"Because only Kamehameha truly loves Eros, Eros only loves Kamehameha."

Eros curled the little boy up in his arms and told Kam about what happened at the banquet that day: "I did say those things to the Kenyan boy, but if I hadn't backed down then, I would have been beaten."

Eros pressed the little boy's paw against his face: "Would Kamehameha want Eros to get hit?"

The little boy gently stroked Eros's face with his paw, then lowered his head and shook it forcefully: "Kama doesn't want Eros to get hurt."

Suddenly, he looked up at Eros with a hint of fierceness in his eyes, even though he seemed a little childish: "Did Ellie also say that if Eros didn't listen to him, he would hit Eros?"

Eros was taken aback. He had never seen Kame show such an expression before. The little boy in front of him had always been playful and adorable.

"No." Although Eros knew that Eli had brought Kam to prank him, he still didn't want Kam to get involved.

“It was Ellie’s father who wanted me to volunteer, but I declined.”

After hearing this, Kamo smoothed out her furrowed brows and snuggled into Eros's arms: "They really are good and bad male insects. Eros, you have to protect yourself. Kamo will always believe in Eros!"

Eros stroked the soft hair of the little male insect he had crumpled into a ball in his arms: "It's a promise, okay?"

Kam nodded, then suddenly asked, "If Kam agrees, will Eros still answer my calls to you?"

Eros blinked and nodded solemnly: "I was wrong, but as for me, I have my own plans."

Kamehameha paused, widened his eyes, and bared his sharp little teeth as he retorted, "You have your own plans, but you didn't tell me! Does Eros know how I felt when I called you repeatedly but never got a response?"

"If Eros continues like this, Camus will stop liking you."

Kam clenched his little fists and punched Eros repeatedly.

The soft, gentle punches made Eros feel no pain, but his guilt grew stronger: "I'm sorry, Kama."

Kam grabbed Eros's collar: "I don't want to hear Eros say sorry! I don't want to be sorry to Eros! Eros is not allowed to apologize to me!!"

"it is good."

Eros hugged Camus, restraining the raging Camus, and kissed his soft forehead without warning.

Camus stared blankly with wide eyes. Although Eros never rejected Camus's advances, he rarely took the initiative to get close to him.

"Do you... know you were wrong?"

Eros rested his chin on Kam's head: "Yes, I know I was wrong."

"Kamo, I'll be taking an exam in a few months. If I pass, I'll take some time off and take Kamo out to play, okay?"

"Wherever you want to go, I'll take you there."

"Really?" Kam looked up.

"Really, but I need to study very hard. If Kama calls me a lot, I might get disturbed. If I don't pass the exam, I won't be able to take Kama out to play."

Kam's eyes darted around, as if he had made a very important decision: "Failing the exam is unacceptable. You must pass the exam. No communication allowed!"

Eros's lips curled up unconsciously: "It's not that you can't communicate, but if Kame encounters any difficulties, Commander En'er is too far away in the Fourth Star System. I'm the closest to you. If you encounter any trouble, be sure to tell me. Don't keep it to yourself. Eros is a big bug and can solve a lot of troubles for Kame."

“Yes, Eros is my big bug, and will be Kam’s future queen. Of course I believe in Eros…” Kam reached out and wrapped his arms around Eros’s neck, wanting to say something, but Eros covered his mouth with a claw.

“No.” Eros’s claws rubbed Kam’s soft lips: “Although I really want to be Kam’s queen, I don’t belong to you until Kam grows into a big male insect.”

"Huh?" Kamehameha opened his mouth, staring at Eros. "Eros, don't you like me anymore? Didn't you just say you liked me?"

"like."

"If Eros doesn't belong to me, to whom should he belong?"

Eros looked at Kam, leaned back against a low shrub, and looked up at the azure sky: "It belongs to me."

"Kamen, I want to belong to myself."

"Why?" Kam tilted his head. He didn't understand what Eros meant, but he could tell that although Eros's voice was still as gentle as usual, every word he spoke carried an undeniable firmness.

"Because I don't yet have the ability to protect myself, and Kamo doesn't have the ability to protect me either."

Eros's voice rang in the little boy's ear: "Kam doesn't like me saying sorry, so I won't say sorry this time."

"You must be very angry when I said I didn't want to belong to Kama, right?" Eros's soft, fluffy hair brushed against Kama's puffy cheeks.

"Eros promised me he'd be my big bug, but he's gone back on his word." Kam turned his head away unhappily. Eros always managed to capture his heart; every word he said made his mood swing like a rollercoaster, one moment extremely happy, the next moment disappointed and sad.

Koka couldn't help but feel happy or sad for Eros, and could only mutter, "Eros is a big bad guy."
