[Leilu Modern AU] Scarlet World

Lester asked Louie, "Do I look like a vampire?"

Vampire... Louis recalled his knowledge of this creature in his mind.

Mysterious, dark, powerful, living in the night, feeding on blood.They have been frightening monsters for centuries. As a result, in popular culture since the 20th century, they have gradually been endowed with more humanity.For example, now everyone's perception of them has changed from the eerie Dracula in the form of a bat to some kind of beautiful pale and dreamy humanoid.

Louis looked at Lester's handsome face.Under the moonlight, his silhouette is like a sculpture of a Greek god, with clear and harmonious lines, really like the ingenious carving of the Creator.His skin was extremely pale—probably because he rarely got out in the sun.His ice-blue eyes were bottomless, like ice pools that can only be seen in the polar regions.

So, he nodded: "Yes...you are a complete vampire."

Lester was amused.He almost broke out into a burst of laughter, and he kept laughing for a long time before stopping.And when he stopped, he saw Louie resting his head on the pillow, looking at him gravely and sadly.His smile stopped.

"you are not happy?"

"because of you."

"Because of me?"

"Everything you just told me."

"Honey, you don't have to."

Louie's head slowly lifted off the pillow and leaned back against the wall—now he and Lester were side by side again.He looked not far away, and his eyes were empty, so those sofas, desk lamps and other things blurred in his eyes.

"No..." He blinked, turned his head slowly, looked at Lester sadly, and emphasized slowly but unquestionably, "No."

Louie was baffled when he heard nine-year-old Lestat being forced to pull the trigger by his stepfather (for the absurd and ludicrous reason that he wanted to raise a perfect killer).At that time, a strange yet familiar blond boy even appeared in his mind, probably a shrunken and shrunken version of the current Leicester.For example, this little boy is only about Louis's waist in height, his body is thin and slender, his features are young and beautiful, his nose is not as high as it is now; clear blue eyes.

This poor, little boy lost his biological parents at an early age, just like Louie himself.But different from Louis, Louis is at least materially affluent, has no worries about food and clothing, has a younger brother and a loyal and reliable housekeeper, but Lester has only one stepfather who forces him to kill—even though Lester has repeatedly stated that he is not He didn't feel scared, and fell in love with using guns on the contrary, but Louis still felt that all this was too cruel for a nine-year-old boy.After all, nine is the age at home for most normal boys watching Spider-Man cartoons.

Leicester’s documentary or non-fiction description style sets off Louis’s set into a tear-jerking blockbuster.However, Lester himself did not realize at all that during what he thought was a straightforward and emotionless narration, his expression still showed a little bit of bewilderment, and it was this kind of concealment that made Louis even more sad .

Lester is naturally a little heartless, and he doesn't care about many things, while Louis is naturally calm and melancholy.The difference in age and experience exacerbates both traits, making Lester seem too open-minded, almost cynical, and Louie too melancholic, but is there something wrong with that?Lester is fascinated by Louie's aching human heart.

Now, Lester realizes that Louie is grieving for him, just as he was a few hours ago, and the roles are reversed.He was quite grateful for Louis' concern, but he felt a little depressed when he thought that it was because of his past that made Louis feel bad.

He clumsily expressed his regret: "I should have told you earlier."

"No," Louis stretched out his hands to hold Lester's right hand, "I still want to know."

Lester sighed.How should he treat this Louis who felt sorry for him?Louis' grief brought great happiness to Leicester.He was sweet and sour, and he almost wanted to hug this caring little villain and rub him to the bone before giving up.In this way, Louis can know that he, Lester, has been licking blood with the tip of a knife for so many years, and he has already taken those past events seriously. As for Louis, he really doesn't need to feel sorry for it anymore.

Finally, he said, "Come here, I have a present for you."

The melancholy ghost with green eyes approached obediently, and caught a kiss on the cheek unexpectedly.

Louis froze.

"Remember?" Lester reminded him in Louis' ear, "You owe me once."

What just happened?Louie's grief melted away in an instant (which was exactly what Lester was aiming for).He was annoyed and planned to take revenge.He rubbed his lips against Lester's earlobe, and was satisfied to see Lester's body trembling invisibly.

Then, before Lester realized what he was going to do, he whispered softly in Lester's ear: "What if I say... I plan to pay you back more?"

Now, it was Lester who was stunned.

"The one just now is considered interest." Louis moved his lips to Lester's temples and pecked lightly. "This way," he moved his lips to Lester's cheek again, "this way..."

Accompanied by Louis' movements, Lester panted slightly, like a leopard that just finished fighting.What surprised him was that the other party's presumptuousness had not stopped.

Louis moved his lips to Lester's again and kissed, and said, "There's more...this is capital."

TBC.
