【Clay】Looking like a tiger

A black and white checkerboard with white squares and black squares.

In the quiet afternoon, the large hall is filled with the fragrance of black tea and mellow coffee, and the sound of the bottom of the chess pieces hitting the chessboard is clear and pleasant. To know something that cannot be expressed in words.

That is a kind of implicatedness that is deposited over time, called tacit understanding.

The man with black hair and red eyes is holding his favorite cup, playing with the sunspot he holds with his slender fingers.Lazily overlooking the situation, because he knew that the opponent's strength was vastly different from his own, he didn't bother to use his brain, so he took a random step.

The man with red hair and blue eyes still had a serious expression, obviously he could quickly conquer, but he didn't choose the first step.Bai Zi's next move was obviously suspected of delaying the battle.

Stephen took a sip of coffee, picked up his chess pieces, and took a well-behaved defensive step.

The corner of Klaus's mouth moved, as if he was satisfied with his choice, and then he took a slow step.

Stephen narrowed his eyes, and deliberately exposed his weaknesses in the next step.

Klaus did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but slightly modified the layout.

Stephen flattened his mouth, and began to wonder if he had indulged Klaus too much.

"It's fine if you don't eat it." Stephen said angrily, "I'll eat it right away."

On the opposite side, Klaus was sitting neatly, under the reflection of the glasses, there was a little dark light in the green eyes, "In this case, this round will be over soon."

The adjutant looked at his leader silently. After a while, he touched his neck inexplicably embarrassed, and sighed softly.

"Since it's all delivered to your door, if you don't eat it, I'm sorry for their kindness~"

Klaus looked up at the opponent, and then focused on the black and white. "Every move requires careful consideration. If you make a decision too quickly, you will regret it later."

"..." Stephen wondered when his leader had mastered such a subtle metaphor, which was much more interesting to him than playing chess, "Klaus, you are really good at waiting."

I don't know if this is considered a compliment, but he feels that there is nothing wrong with the wandering thoughts in his heart.

Stephen smiled, reveling in this chess game where the outcome would never change.

"Klaus, you really look like a feline."

"Really? This is the first time I've heard such a metaphor."

"That's right, but you are definitely a lion or a tiger. You have a ferocious and elegant appearance, but you have the same heart as an ordinary cat for a moment. The most important thing is that you are willing to pay for a cat that does not serve as food. The prey, dedicated to endless patience and waiting... Presumably, the moment of throwing it out, or biting it, must be very exciting."

As it is now, leading and playing, the beast-like gentleman actually enjoys the long hunting process more than he looks calm on the outside.

Looking at Klaus who didn't answer and his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, the man suddenly felt very happy, and turned his chess pieces sharply with his fingers.

"If you move a little bit, it will scare the little animals away."

A word like a warm reminder made Klaus's broad shoulders tremble violently.The exaggerated reaction was as expected, and he smiled even more cheerfully.

"Be like treating a little hamster step by step~ Okay, it's your turn!"

The cunning black piece invaded the inside of the white piece, and the white master, who was thinking about the meaning of his words, looked down, only to realize that he was seriously threatened.

Stephen said with a smile, "You still have to concentrate when playing chess, Klaus~"

"...Sorry, Stephen." Klaus sweated awkwardly, put aside the thoughts in his mind, and began to really focus on this leisurely duel in the afternoon.

The adjutant of the secret society Labra is called a black-bellied man by his colleagues, perhaps not out of thin air.

When holding a cheeseburger and entering this green space covered by glass vaults, Leo couldn't help but feel that his belongings seemed out of place here.It was agreed that we would gather in the greenhouse in the afternoon, but looking at the time, I came too early.Look left and right, there is no one in the huge garden, let alone where the exact concentration is.

After standing still and thinking for a while, Leo decided to take a walk around first, or find a place to settle the lunch he didn't have time to eat.Just as he was about to leave, there was a gust of cool wind on his neck, and the little white monkey jumped out of his collar at the speed of sound. He didn't know whether he saw a butterfly or another insect this time, so Leo could only shout into the air, " Sonic will remember to come back later", and began to visit alone.

Said to be a greenhouse, here is more like a condensed botanical garden.Looking around, there are tall plants with names that cannot be named, with all kinds of intrusive flowers. I remember that beyond a certain boundary, it is a range that ordinary humans like him must never touch. Leo must never go there.There is also a part of the ground with green grass, and the surrounding plants look decent, and there should be no weird things like being eaten by flowers.

If there, it should be a good place for lunch.

The rare green plants and fresh air outside make people feel at ease, and they don’t have to worry about being robbed and blackmailed by sudden monsters. Such a day is really great.Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help humming a tune, he walked briskly and then tap danced a little.

"Leonard-kun."

As if no one was intoxicated in his own world, a familiar steady voice came from one side.

Leo's body froze as if he had been acupunctured, and the ditty in his mouth stopped. He didn't want to face the reality for a moment, but he had to turn his head around abruptly.

He was passing a neatly manicured meadow.The man-made sunlight diffused by the glass dome warmly illuminates what you see before you like a soft mirror. A tall and tall man is standing beside a long table covered with a white printed tablecloth. The sunlight blurs the man's wide and slanted The outline of the shoulders leaked from the gap between the arms and the waist. The expression in his silver-rimmed glasses was obscured by the backlight, but the smile with snow-white canine teeth on his lower lip was rendered warm and soft by the light.

"Dancing well."

Leo blushed from the base of his neck to the tips of his ears.

When the embarrassing red heat finally faded, Leo walked up to Klaus, and looked up at this man who was bathed in the light and became as sacred and majestic as an archangel, yet gentle.

"Mr. Claus, what are you doing here...?"

Leo stammered, the embarrassment had just faded, and now there was another kind of blush.

"After a while, I plan to hold a tea party here and entertain some distinguished guests. So today I called everyone to try the taste of the tea and see if there is anything that needs to be replaced."

"Hey..." Turning around and looking to the side, there are all kinds of desserts and salty treats on the long table. Although it is not a formal reception tea party, the exquisite layout and exquisite food are no different from formal ones.It was said that it was a tasting session only for internal staff, but Leo knew very well what the leader's intentions were.

The person who seems savage and doesn't know how to express his thoughts is actually more considerate and careful than anyone else.

"Sit down, Leonard-kun."

Klaus pulled out a chair for him.

"Eh?!" He immediately refused flattered, and held up the paper bag in his hand, "No... this is a hamburger! It's not suitable to eat here!"

"It's okay, everyone hasn't come yet, you can still try the dessert first."

"But..." said weakly, Leo squeezed the bag in his hand tightly.

Klaus thought for a while, and smiled softly at the corner of his mouth.He bent down, and spread out his palms to the young man who was hesitant about his position, "Then... would you mind having a much earlier afternoon tea with me?"

"...?!" The man's words seemed like a sweet invitation, but it was just another way of saying it, which made it impossible for Leo to refuse.The little boy was so excited that his teeth were chattering, he wanted to stretch out his hand but he didn't dare, the man bent down, patiently waiting for the soft touch of that little hand.

Silently looking at Leo's shy and expectant face, Klaus inexplicably remembered what his friends had said to him a few days ago—like a lion or a tiger, who takes pleasure in waiting and longs for the last-minute excitement.He couldn't feel the metaphor pointing to himself, but at this moment, he wanted to sweep away the devil in his heart who looked like Stephen, and gently took Leo's hand, and had afternoon tea together for the two alone.

Before savoring delicious dim sum, you need to settle the lunch you bought.Although it is polite to take out the hamburger and eat it directly in such an elegant situation, but since the host of the tea party gave permission, Leo took out his lunch from the paper bag with peace of mind.

The air filled with the fragrance of grass and the sweetness of toffee suddenly had the unique cheap taste of fast food, and Leo was a little apprehensive, and couldn't help but peek at the man sitting next to him.Klaus held a teapot and was pouring a cup of black tea into the cup next to Leo.The sound of tea slowly being poured into the cup is clear and pleasant, which is much more tasteful than the sound of ice cubes colliding in a large cup of cola.

"Mr. Claus, I have something to drink..."

"It's better to drink something hot when you eat...or black tea can't be served with burgers?"

"This..." Looking at the third young master with a question mark above his head, Leo didn't know how to answer. Although he had never heard of eating hamburger with black tea, he was willing to try it now. "Thank you, I'll try to see if these two things go well together."

"Yeah." Klaus nodded, smiling and watching Leo eat his lunch.

Leo stepped up to grab the hamburger in his hand, and when he was ready to take a big bite, the eager gaze from the side was really unbearable.

Looking up at 45° to the right, the man is looking down at him, as if looking at some novelty little thing, and he himself is looking forward to it like a child.

Staring blankly at the other party for three seconds, Leo raised the hamburger forward, "That... Mr. Claus, do you want to eat?"

"Eh, can you?"

"Well, yes."

"But here's your lunch..."

"And this table of desserts, it's okay."

"...Then I'll just take a bite."

After some hesitation, Klaus finally bent down slowly and approached him, aimed at the raised hamburger, and opened his canine-toothed mouth.

Leo's hand trembled suddenly, he felt like he was feeding some large wild animal, his heart was beating in anticipation and fear, the red-haired lion opened its mouth towards him.In addition to the canines on the lower jaw that are usually seen, the upper row of neat teeth also has two pointed canines. His eyes can clearly see the sticky saliva in the dark red mouth, and the big and thick tongue. Klaus opened his mouth His mouth instantly reminded him of something, and his heart itched unbearably.

Gawking a mouthful, the four dogs inserted into the soft bread interlayer, tearing off the half-moon-shaped part, and the ketchup splashed like thick blood on the man's teeth and the corners of his mouth, and he was even more stunned. , hardly wanting to look away.

Klaus straightened his back and began to chew after eating the hamburger that he was still looking forward to.Because of this pair of exposed canines, Klaus has been unable to eat large pieces of food with his bare hands.He has to use a knife and fork or eat small pieces to keep the food from leaking out of his mouth.Especially food like hamburger, which is easy for civilians to embarrass him, has been forbidden for him to eat since he was a child.

Having tasted the long-awaited food, not to mention the taste, Klaus was already very happy.But why did Leo on the opposite side stare blankly at him?

"...Pfft." After watching for a long time, Leo finally couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Klaus, you eat all over your face."

"Really, I'm really sorry..." Klaus sweated awkwardly, and was about to find a handkerchief to wipe in a hurry, when Leo stretched out his hand towards him, gently scraping away the ketchup on the corner of his mouth .

The touch at that moment was soft and warm, and the boy who made the intimate gesture too naturally still didn't notice it, and said to him with a smile, "It's much cleaner already."

Klaus didn't answer, just looked at him in astonishment, which made him feel strange, and then he noticed the sauce scraped off Klaus's face on his fingers, and his face turned red and smoked.

"This, this is......!!!"

Anxiously wanting to justify, or the most important thing to do at this time is to wipe off the sauce and fool it, but he just doesn't want to do this, and even thinks it's a bit too wasteful, and the thoughts that move in his heart make him feel too shameless.

After a roar in his heart, Leo endured his embarrassment and pointed in any direction with a clean hand, "Ah, Mr. Claus, there are cats there!!!"

"Cat?!"

As he expected, the man who likes small animals the most was immediately deceived, turned around and desperately searched for cats.He quickly sucked his dirty fingers into his mouth, and licked away the ketchup that had stuck to Klaus' teeth and mouth, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head after pulling out his hand.

——Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. !

The taste of ketchup in his mouth was actually the same as usual, maybe it was just a hint in his heart that gave him a taste of someone else's taste, but his heart was beating so fast, like an idiot daydreaming, Imagine many pictures of intimate contact.

"Leonard-kun, where is the cat??"

With Klaus' voice in his ear, Leo wanted to cry.Not to mention that he is dissatisfied with desire, he is just an ordinary normal man. After thinking that he fell in love, he and the person he likes have not kissed for two full weeks.

why?

"Even in a greenhouse where conditions remain stable, it is important to keep an eye on the growth of the plants..."

Was Mr. Claus's intimacy with me that night only a dream?

"Different plants have different light absorption and water requirements. It is necessary to consider the degree of compatibility and plan the layout well..."

Or is Mr. Claus just playing with me?

"Like the new genetically mixed breed in front of us now, it is highly ornamental and also has excellent defensive properties. It has a more willful personality, so pay attention..."

No, no, this is definitely my overthinking. In fact, Mr. Claus is just shy, right?Should I be more proactive?Wait a minute, is my role positioning wrong? ?

"Leonard-kun? Are you listening to me, Leo??"

A big gloomy face with reflections from glasses suddenly moved very close in front of it, Leo jumped up and moved away a few steps in fright, "Hahaha, I, I was listening!! I, I was talking about this plant Right! Ah, the flowers are so beautiful, you must have spent a lot of time cultivating them... eh?"

Haha, seeing the beautiful flowers, he stretched out his hands to touch them, but he didn't know that his hands were suddenly tied up. Before he could see what happened, Klaus's cry suddenly rang in his ears.

"Leo——!"

"Wow—!! Mr. Claus, save me——!"

More than a dozen vines sprang out like snakes, and quickly wrapped around his torso and limbs from his arms, nailing his whole body into his growth area, and the tentacle-like vines locked Leo in satisfaction. Behind his short body, he contentedly bloomed a lavender trumpet-shaped flower on the top of his bird's nest-like head, which is very funny against the weak human's unfortunate face full of black lines.

"Leo, are you okay?!" Klaus hurried forward to check on Leo's condition, but he didn't dare to rescue him from the vine.

"That...although he wasn't injured..." Leo smiled wryly, and wanted to move his hands and feet, but was tightly bound, "But it seems that he can't move at all?"

"You must not move. This kind of plant, how should I put it... is a bit willful. The more you struggle, the tighter it will be..." Klaus explained with shame. He just explained this plant to Leo. Plant personality, but Leo seems to be absent-minded, directly causing trouble.

"Eh?! Then I can't get out?!"

"Don't worry, he will relax after a while..." Klaus comforted Leo, but just as he finished speaking, the nearby plants made strange moving rustling sounds, and countless thick green vines Rushing towards Klaus, Leo yelled in shock, but the man who seemed to be the most dangerous was extremely calm.

The sound of vines rubbing against green leaves rang in my ears, and the green plants interlaced behind Klaus to form a huge net, blocking his retreat, forming a small transparent closed space centered on the two of them.After completing this new building, the plant let go of the boy who had offended it just now, and stretched out a leafy green stem to Klaus, and then bred a flower bud at an alarming speed, and then fell in love with its owner bloom.

Looking at the flowers that bloomed for him, Klaus pursed his lips and smiled, lowered his eyelids, and gently kissed the lavender transparent petals.

"Thank you, it's really beautiful."

The picture of the beast and the flower caught the young man's eyes, and there was no contradiction or disharmony at all. The affection of the beast and the nostalgia for the flower were like a beautiful scene of mutual love, which made him want to watch it but couldn't help but watch it.

"It's locked..." forced a laugh, he didn't even want to admit that the sour feeling in his heart was called jealousy.

"Yeah, he's really a willful guy." Even the tone of his words was full of pampering.

He who was not tall fell silent, lowered his head and clenched his fists, the awkward expression on his face did not want to be seen by the other party.And the other party looked at him who bowed his head, and had other thoughts in his heart.

The embarrassing silence seemed to alienate them who had been so close for a moment.

Klaus stood where he was, hesitant to speak but remained silent, and he didn't take a step closer to Leo.

"Although it will recover after a while, no one knows how long it will take. I'll call the teacher who studies this to take a look." He took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Claus!" Leo stopped him sharply.

His fingers stopped in mid-air, and he looked down. The boy he loved had flushed cheeks, and he was holding his hand with outstretched arms.

"That... just wait and see! It would be a pity for Mr. Claus to destroy it forcibly! Because it is a plant that has been taken care of all the time, it is better to protect it well... so... wait a little bit ... okay?"

In the end, he lost his confidence, as if he had changed from a suggestion to a pleading, the young man kept him without hiding his face, and he also wanted to think about Leo's motives, but before he thought about it, the part of the beast in his body made him aware of the fact that it was in the air. A little bloody smell revealed.

"Leo, are you injured?" Retracting the phone, Klaus carefully held Leo's hand.

"Eh?" Leo was caught off guard by the gap between the indifference just now and the tenderness now, but the thorns in his body were smoothed away just by holding his hands together.

"Probably not... It's just a bit of a pain from being strangled... Uh Mr. Claus?!

As he spoke emotionally, Klaus raised his sleeves without warning. There were marks of being strangled on his slender white arms, and there was a little bleeding scratch that he didn't notice.

"Your hand is bleeding," Klaus whispered.Secretly grasping Leo's hand, he saw that the green eyes under the man's glasses began to show the regret he had been expecting.Secret joy and a sense of luck surged up, the young man looked up at the person he liked, and easily smiled sweetly and happily.

"It's just a little bit of skin scratching, this little wound, just lick it..."

That smile made Klaus feel guilty.Without thinking about it, the man grabbed his wrist with his backhand and gently moved it upwards. Then his slightly ferocious mouth opened, and his wet tongue stretched out, slowly licking the small wound on his arm.

That mouth, that row of teeth, and that tongue seemed to have touched his sensitive zone in an instant, making him uncontrollably flooded with too many complicated and tangled emotions, and his body began to pass on from the piece of skin that was licked. Shivering and getting so hot so hot.

However, looking at Leo like that, Klaus did not continue.

"Sorry, did I scare you?" He had too much experience in scaring away small animals, and now although he wanted to shrink back, he refused to let go of his hand.

It was like a tug-of-war with two-way arrows. The eyes of the prey and the hunter met and they speculated, eager to see through each other's thoughts, waiting for who would make the first move.

In the end, the trapped teenager couldn't help but pursed his lips, recalling the taste of the bloody tomato sauce he had tasted just now.

"No... But, if it's possible..." He raised his head, slightly opened those blue prosthetic eyes, licked his lips, and whispered in a seductively ignorant voice, "Can... change to another place? ?”

The so-called rationality that persisted for two weeks dissipated the moment the boy licked his lips. In this narrow field of green vines, the fragrance of flowers and grass filled his nostrils.

"Is it okay here...Leo?" Holding the boy's buttocks, he deliberately moved closer to that lovely thin lips, not kissing them, but trying to seduce him with gentlemanly words.

"Hmm..." For Klaus, or for him, those lips are so delicious, like honey dipped in poison, sweet and addictive without knowing it.

Lips pressed against lips, canine teeth rubbing lightly on the thin lips.Really like a big cat, Klaus stuck out his tongue and licked Leo's mouth one by one.Licking like a baby makes one's heart itch, Leo grabs Klaus's clothes and feels embarrassed and wants to laugh, but when he looks at the green eyes under the lens, the throbbing in his heart is extraordinary, he doesn't want this anymore Holding each other's cheeks with an unbearable tenderness, he also learned to lick them.

With just a light lick, Klaus stopped in shock.Leo blushed, and continued to lick Klaus's mouth desperately.When the little tongue licked the long canines, he couldn't help the devil in his heart, and began to lick his very favorite teeth repeatedly.

"Leo...you're like this...I will..."

He heard Klaus' beastly growl, and he knew that he was teasing the opponent's bottom line, but he couldn't wait any longer.

"Well……!"

The mouth was slammed shut, and then opened violently by the tongue, the man's kisses came like a storm, he could only close his eyes tightly, and let himself be pushed down on the soft grass by the beast, occupying every moment in his mouth. gap.Klaus's breath is thick and hot, filling his mouth, taking his breath away, wrapping his tongue around his tongue, sucking and kissing, pouring in his own taste, the residual taste of burgers and desserts is mixed in our mouths Unclear, his brain went blank, he only responded to the other party with desire, hugged the other party's neck and kissed.

Gradually, the moment that was occupied by mania passed, and the two swallowed their saliva, leaving a little room for the other to breathe, but still maintained the kissing posture.Touching the lips repeatedly, staring at each other unwillingly, Klaus stuck out his tongue and kissed Leo lingeringly, and secretly stroked Leo's body with his hands, as if to confirm whether Leo's body was injured, He lifted up his loose clothes and touched his frail body.

Sensitive slender waist, and then to the thin chest, Leo's skin is healthy and smooth, so he can't help stroking it back and forth. When Klaus' palm swept over the protruding pink flower bud on his chest, Leo's snort was even more pronounced. lust.

"Ah...um...Klaus...sir..."

"Leo..."

Not only one person's panting sound is full of ambiguous meaning, the touch of lips and tongue and saliva makes a chirping sound, even though I know that there is not much time left to be so close, I still want to kiss a little more, I am obsessed with this lip and tongue, and the other party Obsessed with the look in your own eyes.

"Haha...haha..."

The obsession with lips was finally over, Klaus hugged Leo, who was panting non-stop, into his arms, stroked his hot cheeks with his big hands, lowered his head against his forehead, indulging in the aftertaste of the kiss.

Such tenderness made Leo's heart beat endlessly, yet he couldn't help being confused.

Reaching out to hold Klaus's hand, Leo frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Mr. Klaus, what are we... now?"

Klaus was taken aback for a moment, and hugged him tighter, "Leo, did my behavior make you feel uneasy?"

The young man lowered his head, grasping the man's chest with his palm, feeling the texture of the muscles underneath, "I... I'm really disturbed. Because Mr. Claus didn't do anything to me... so..." These words seemed to be his own. It was so longing for the other party, which made him extremely ashamed, "I am the only one who is excited and looking forward to it, like a fool..."

The growing love caught this inexperienced him by surprise.Sweetness and sourness mixed into a complex taste, making him easy to be happy and jealous, turning him into a fool in love.

Holding the trembling Leo, Klaus said guiltily, "I'm sorry Leo. As a lover, I actually made you so uneasy... because I'm not a very sensitive person. If you don't say many things, I will I can’t know. So I hope you can tell me more about your thoughts, and let me share your troubles..."

Suddenly, Klaus's chest was grabbed by the person in his arms, and he stopped talking in shock.

Klaus cautiously probed, "...Leo?"

The little animal in his arms grabbed him excitedly, raised his head and said excitedly, "Mr. Claus, what did you just say?"

"Huh? I hope you can tell me more about your worries and let me share your troubles...?"

"No, earlier!"

"...I'm not a very sensitive person. If you don't tell me, I won't know?"

"A little further ahead!"

"As a lover, I actually make you so uneasy..."

"…………"

"Leo?"

The person in his arms suddenly fell silent again, Klaus didn't know what to do.

"Lover...Mr. Claus...is my lover..." Leo in his arms muttered repeatedly in a low voice. Klaus listened attentively and gradually understood something.

Holding Leo's hand and kissing it lightly, Klaus read in a low voice, "Well, I'm your lover, Leo."

"..." Looking at him sincerely, Leo's nose turned red, and he suddenly cried out with a "wow".

"...Leo?!" What's going on? !

"Because, Mr. Claus never said that!!" Leo cried and opened his mouth wide, "I thought there would be no future after that...!"

"That...is it my fault?" Klaus hurriedly hugged Leo to coax, "Because, I'm afraid that you will be scared if you go too fast, so..."

"Mr. Klaus...you idiot!!"

"Well..." Klaus's fragile heart was hurt a lot, in order to make up for his fault, he hastily kissed Leo's cheek, and said sincerely, "Leo, let's go on a date. "

"...?!" Leo stopped crying instantly, his brain was being hit by another wave of unexpected shock and couldn't turn around.

And just when Leo lost his chance, the green vines that trapped the two of them were untied, allowing them to see the sun again, and many flowers bloomed around Leo to celebrate.

Klaus looked at this wonderful picture of Leo and the flowers in a daze, and touched his fingers a little shyly, feeling very good.

about? !meeting! ?

When the boy realized it, Labra's tasting afternoon tea party had already started.
