Take your fangs, thanks

When Josh opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was a white ceiling. He sat up and found himself on the bed in the infirmary. There was a diagnosis sheet on the bedside table, which probably meant drowning, but his body There was nothing serious about it, mainly because of being frightened.

Consciousness began to gradually come back to his mind, it was Rigoletto who saved him... Josh was in a complicated mood. On the one hand, Josh had made up his mind not to take the initiative to talk to Rigoletto again, but now he wants to say thank you no matter what , which made Josh feel a little embarrassed.

On the other hand he felt a little embarrassed, almost drowned himself in front of Rigoletto, stupid... well, very stupid.

Josh looked around and found that there seemed to be no one in the room.Maybe it was because he was in a hurry to get out of the swimming pool. He was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks, but he was wearing a dark coat. He didn't need to think about who it was, and his mood became more complicated in an instant.

Josh found his neatly stacked clothes at the foot of the bed, and without caring about anything else, he almost put on his clothes and walked outside.

Walking to the position near the door, there were faint voices of two people talking outside, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a quarrel?

"...Excessive excitement in the water can cause muscle spasms, don't you know?" It was Rigoletto, who might be closer to the door, and Josh could hear him better.

The other person's voice was very vague, and Josh could only vaguely hear a few words, such as "human beings" and "accidental" and so on.

Rigoletto's volume suddenly turned up, and he said: "It has nothing to do with whether he is my brother or not, I just care about a man named Josh DeWinter, Evan, I warn you again, stay away from him! "

Josh seems to have heard Ivan's laughter, but it doesn't matter anymore, Josh's attention has been completely attracted by Rigoletto's words.

What's the meaning?Just care about... me?

Just as Josh was standing at the door with a dull expression, the door of the infirmary was opened, and Josh and Rigoletto faced each other for a while, both of them stared wide-eyed, and no one spoke for a long time.

In the end, Josh was the first to break the deadlock: "Uh, thank you." His voice sounded dry, as if he was being threatened with a knife to say thanks.

But Rigoletto didn't seem to care, he stared at Josh's face, kept quiet strangely, and the tips of his ears began to congeal uncontrollably.

"What are you looking at..." Almost the moment he spoke, Josh realized what Rigoletto was thinking, and the moment he realized, his face also changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. It became a ripe tomato.

So embarrassing!Josh almost yelled: "I know you're just here to save me, thank you, Riglito! Don't care, just like I don't care!" He spoke so fast that he didn't even know he was saying it what.

"No thanks." Rigoletto nodded calmly.

Rigoletto walked into the room with his head down, took a few medicine boxes from the bedside table, and put them in Josh's hands: "This medicine is mainly to prevent colds, you know, you may suffer from cold after coming out of the swimming pool." It's cold, and there are no quilts in the infirmary."

"...Thank you." Josh took the medicine box, he seemed to be able to say only thank you, but... But this is obviously not what he wanted to say, is it?He had a stomach full of questions and wanted to ask Rigoletto. Even though the events back then were so unclear, why did Rigoletto still act indifferent? Could it be that he was the only one who was entangled?

Josh's hand holding the medicine box suddenly tightened, and he called to Rigoletto who was about to leave: "Wait, Rigoletto, don't you have anything to tell me?"

Rigoletto seemed surprised that Josh called him to stop him, but he was prepared to be ignored by Josh for the rest of his life.He can always walk behind Josh, follow his shadow, and solve all the troubles he encounters, but never appear in front of him.

All of this was based on the fact that Josh didn't intend to get acquainted with him, but now, things don't seem to be as bad as he thought.Rigg felt a strange feeling flowing through his chest, this feeling was very strange, but it didn't seem too bad...

Cautiously, Rigoletto asked, "So, are you calling Rigoletto, or...Rigreto?"

Josh understood what he meant. If it was Rigoletto, it would be the relationship between ordinary seniors and juniors. If it was Rigg...

"Rig." He sighed, "Isn't there anything you want to tell me?"

Rigoletto was silent for a while, and reminded: "Stay away from Ivan."

That's not it!Josh roared in his heart, but asked, "Why?"

"He, he is..." Saying this word seemed to be too difficult for Rigoletto. He frowned and gestured twice unconsciously.

"Vampire?" The inexplicable anger burned in Josh's heart again, just like Rigoletto's evasive look when he had a nosebleed that day, "Is there any rule that human beings are not allowed to touch vampires? Oh, or Are you telling me to stay away from him because vampires can bite? Then you bite me once, and you will bite me every time you see me?"

"of course not!"

"Then what are you afraid of?!"

As Josh's loud questioning ended, the room returned to silence, so quiet that Josh could almost hear his heart beating like a drum in his chest.He stretched out his hand and pulled off his short sleeves from the neckline. The loose round neck short sleeves quickly exposed half of the right shoulder. On the beautiful collarbone, there were two circular scars, which were not very obvious, but It was dazzling in Rigoletto's eyes.

He took two steps back subconsciously, and uttered two syllables from his throat in a hoarse voice: "Josh..."

"Rig, you look like a coward." Disappointment flashed across Josh's eyes, and he lifted his foot and walked out the door.

"...Wait." Rigoletto suddenly grabbed his wrist from behind, and the momentary contact made both of them tremble.Just when Josh didn't realize it, tears fell from his eyes.At this time, Josh still had time to think, but luckily he lowered his head so that the tears would not leave traces on his cheeks when they fell to the ground.

This way he can pretend that he has grown up and can face the world alone without the company of a family.

He used to wonder why Alman wanted to become a man all the time, until one day he found that his brothers would not always stand in front of him, just like Riglito would not always help him eat those bitter blueberries flower.

"I'm sorry, Josh. I didn't mean that, I meant..." Rigoletto's tone was rarely full of panic. He stumbled and said it several times, but he couldn't express himself clearly. In the end, he had no choice but to speak Holding Josh in his arms is like hugging and falling asleep occasionally when I was a child.

"Not anymore, I'm not going to disappear from you...well, I mean, if you want to," he added stiffly.

Ok.

Although I still don't know what happened that year, Rigoletto's words really made Josh feel like a big stone fell to the ground.You must know that there were only two words written on the letter paper he got back then: "Wait for me." It was these two words that gave Josh hope, but it also became a rope that held him back.

Now, if you still find the other party after going around, can you finish those endless words in the next few days?

Josh is not a person who is easily impatient. Perhaps for him, it doesn't matter what kind of family Derwent is. He just wants a home of his own. Whenever he returns from exhaustion, there are orange lights inside And a big dinner, with mother's arms waiting for me... and, of course, my brothers.

Although he is not yet ready to meet with De Winter's parents, it has to be said that it is also a kind of comfort for him to have his closest brother back by his side.

"It really made me wait for a long time." Josh had adjusted his mood and said half-jokingly.

"Sorry." Just after finishing speaking, Rigoletto looked up and saw Josh's half-smile expression, and also showed a shallow smile. He rubbed Josh's hair, um, the feel was still as soft as ever.

"Don't touch me." Josh flicked away Rigoletto's restless hand like a fly, "I haven't planned to forgive you yet."

"Hmm." Rigoletto obviously didn't care much about Josh's duplicity.

After ten years, the two brothers finally walked side by side on the road again.The setting sun hides behind the clouds, showing a blend of pink and orange colors. Before the night comes, the sun is offering the last remaining warmth to the land.The shadows of the two were stretched very long, and together with the ringing of the bell after class, the mood was also floating in the air dizzily.

"By the way, Rigg." Josh suddenly asked, "So why did you tell me to stay away from Ivan? Are you really afraid that he will bite me?" Although it is surprising to know that Ivan is a vampire, Josh is a vampire after all. People who have experienced big storms should know that they suddenly learned that their entire family is a vampire, and now this little surprise is nothing.

"..." Rigoletto didn't answer.

Josh didn't care either, and he added: "But if he wanted to bite, he would have already bit it, so it shouldn't matter."

"It does matter." Rigoletto replied quickly.

"what relationship?"

What does Rigoletto say about this, just tell Josh that there is a man who wants to pick him up?

Rigoletto was so angry that his teeth were itchy, and he really wanted to throw this old guy, Ivan, into the fire pit right now, and let his body be reduced to ashes in a moment, alas!

"Because he is too old, he is more than 100 years old, and we have a generation gap with him." Riglito said seriously.
