[Leilu Modern AU] Scarlet World

"Huh? She gave me a whole box." Louis took the box of pickles from Lester, "Do you want some?"

Lester waved his hand.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Lester has just been shocked by the conclusion that "Louis is actually a heartthrob", and then feels a little uncomfortable. ——He had forgotten that he had advertised himself many times that "no one can refuse Leicester".Although his pride is well-founded, in comparison, Louis is much more easy-going because of his humility.

"Pickles, a whole box?" Lester handed the hot cocoa to Louis. After a hundred thoughts in his mind, he still couldn't help saying, "...It seems that she is fascinated by you."

Louie's hand that was squeezing ketchup stopped: "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Pickles let out a dissatisfied grunt.

Lester's reaction made Louis feel inexplicably happy, and he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth—of course, it was the side of his face that Lester couldn't see.But, he thought again, is Lester really jealous?Just because the enthusiastic saleswoman gave him a box of pickles?

If the past was brought up in a later, slightly larger quarrel, Lester would walk up and down angrily, saying, "It's because of a box of pickles! God, Louie, don't you think she's Are you so warm to everyone? Take the things in the store and send them around? She just wants to impress you!"

"But we never went to that store again."

"......Humph."

"And I didn't call her or anything. I forgot what she looked like."

"Yeah, that's the way to do it. Why did you call her? She's just looking at your face!"

"You saw my face too."

"It's not just your face that I see."

"I know, Lester," Louie would step forward, grab the curmudgeon, pull him to sit on the sofa, "Of course I know you don't just like my face."

"I like everything about you."

"I know."

"You do the same to me?"

"Yes."

At this point in the conversation, Lester's anger had already subsided, but he was still a little awkward.

"So," Louie said slowly, leaning over, "why are we still arguing? Right?"

Only when Louis's kiss landed on Lester's cheek, the blond man would be really elated, then turned his head, held Louis's face, ravaged the other's bright red full lips, and finally put this sweet and lovely A human kiss turns into a hot, fiery sex affair.

Now, Lester silently pokes an unopened packet of ketchup back and forth with his finger, squeezing the poor sauce back and forth.

Louie decides to coax Lester, who is hungry and doesn't want to continue the little game of "I'm a little unhappy but I won't say it, I want you to guess why I'm unhappy" with Lester.He was a good coaxer a long time ago, but he hasn't coaxed people for many years, and he wonders if he has lost this ability.After thinking about it, he changed his sitting posture from cross-legged to hugging his legs, hugging his knees with his hands, and resting his chin on his knees. —In this way, he is much shorter than Leicester.He turned his head, looked up at Lester, and asked in a sincere and confused tone: "You look a little unhappy, Lester. What should I do?"

Lester's heart instantly softened like a piece of Bobby Bear jellybean, he almost groaned out of this numbing comfort.So, he had no choice but to curl his lips helplessly to dispel the little unreasonable anger.

"Then you should do this." He greeted Louis's lovely face and pecked densely.

Louis pushed Lester away helplessly and said, "I'm hungry now."

"Then you owe me one."

Lester sees every needle and sticks to it, and doesn't give up.He just intends to take advantage of Louis and not suffer any loss.

What do I owe you?Louis felt a little unconvinced.But then it occurred to him that if he raised his voice to argue with Lester, he would not be able to eat well again.

Therefore, in the countless contests that inadvertently happened between the two of them, Louis, the ever-victorious general, finally lost for the first time with regret.He gave up arguing with Lester.As for Lester, he took Louis' silence as tacit approval without even thinking about it.

Look, so confident Leicester!

……

As the host, Lester took the initiative to take the food packaging bags to the trash can in the kitchen after the meal, while Louis walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the corner of the living room to look at the night view of the city.

It seems that Louis seems to have a special liking for the scenery outside the window, and such a slender figure standing by the window seems to fit the impression of a melancholy and handsome man he left on most people.In fact, Louis spent most of the time standing in front of the window in a daze.

Louie liked to watch the passing traffic or the flashing lights or the people walking.When he sees these living things that have nothing to do with him changing back and forth in front of his eyes, it is easy to let go of his mind.He never takes the trouble to observe a fixed point, so there will never be a romantic encounter in the movie that results from prolonged observation.He really just used it to help himself enter the spiritual world where he roamed freely, and enjoyed this quiet time alone.

Lester, on the contrary, did not like this hobby of Louis.It's not that he thinks it's silly to stare out the window in a daze, but that he feels that Louis like this is indescribably lonely.This kind of Louis seems to have never owned anything, and never wanted anything.He stood there alone, out of tune with the colorful world behind him; on the other side, the noisy world outside the window did not belong to him and did not accept him.He just stood there pitifully, unable to do anything.

"Louie...do you want to talk?"

In fact, this is also Louis' plan.But he didn't plan to sit on the sofa, he thought it would be nice to be next to the glass window.He sat down with his legs crossed, huddled in the corner between the walls, his back against the thick wall, and he could see the busy night city when he turned his head, which gave him a solid sense of security.He also asked Lester to turn off the light in the living room, leaving only a dim night light in the distance.Because, compared with the omnipresent artificial light, the cold moonlight projected from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows is obviously much more beautiful and moving.

Lester turned off the light and took all the pillows from the sofa. He handed a big one to Louis, kept a big one for himself, and put the small ones on the ground randomly.Louis accepted his offer.Now, they are like two high school girls, sitting on the ground, hugging pillows, talking freely.

"Why don't you tell me about yourself?" said the dark-haired girl.

Louie hardly ever hid his desire to know Lester.Everything about him has been exposed to Lester, his pain, his secret, his will to die, his love.In 25 years of his life, Louie had never been so revealing about another person.He didn't even realize it, he was attracted to it almost when he was unconscious, defenseless, caught off guard, unable to stop, Lester was simply a perfect fit for him.

Lester had long wanted to share his backstory, but he just didn't find the right time.What about when Louie passed out?Or like a poetry recitation when Louie had a high fever—

"My name is Lester and I'm a hitman with a side job running a private club. I own six properties in the state. I have three residences in York, two of which I don't own. … .”

God, just imagining it made Lester feel numb all over.

The afternoon was a good time to talk, but that was Louis's home court, not a blind date meeting of the Drianco family.

Now, thankfully, the opportunity had come, and Louie was even willing to share the night if he didn't feel sleepy.But where to start?Lester thought about it, and asked out like this.

"Why don't you tell me how old you are?" the young man suggested.

TBC.
