【Wolves】Sugar, Spice, and Good Taste

They haven't lost touch. Scott's text messages to Logan sometimes talk about how he is doing, and the two have talked on the phone, but the teenager never said when he moved back.It looked like Scott still didn't want to see him, and Logan sensed it, feeling a tiny bit of loss bubbling sourly in his veins.

Logan listened carefully to the other person's words, and suddenly noticed a few barks coming from the microphone as Scott called his name.He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Jimmy misses me."

He was a little relieved that Jim would call out to him once or twice, which was usually something that only Jean could do.

Scott on the other side of the microphone paused for a moment, and Logan could only hear his slight regular breathing, and then the young man said, "Yes, it misses you."

During that sweet cohabitation time, Logan always woke up first to make breakfast, and then Scott got up a little later. After the two had finished breakfast, Scott went to work, and Logan went down to Wolverine to start business.In the evening, they returned to Logan's apartment at the same time. Although Scott's working hours are relatively flexible, the schedule of the two is basically the same.So, Logan can easily deduce when the youth is not at home.

So now, when business is good, Logan will close the business early when the desserts are sold out, he will buy some fresh ingredients, and before Scott comes back, he will stuff them all into the youth's refrigerator to replace the frozen food - of course he has Scott Key to the apartment.

But Scott didn't express dissatisfaction with this. Once Logan saw a note attached to the refrigerator by a candy-shaped magnet, on which Scott wrote in smooth and beautiful fonts the dishes he wanted to eat next time.

Logan's apartment will also have some small changes, such as the dishes he forgot to wash will be cleaned and neatly folded in the cupboard, or his wardrobe will lose a piece of clothing or two.

In not deliberate planning, they are like a double strand of DNA, parallel to each other, but still intertwined with gaps. This somewhat appeases Logan, but the dessert chef still looks at the date from time to time.The guests came and went, and Logan's eyes would still fall on that corner when he was busy.

The atmosphere of the festival is getting stronger and stronger. When walking on the road, you can see the head of Santa Claus hanging in the store and various garlands. Logan placed a Christmas tree in front of Wolverine's door. There are paper strips hanging on the green branches, which correspond to exquisitely packaged small gifts. Customers who have bought desserts in the store can choose one as an extra gift.

On Christmas Day, Logan, who was already in the apartment getting ready, heard his phone vibrate. He saw the source of the message loosen his usual frown, but he opened the message box and found that it was just a blessing text message from Scott, worded It's concise and looks no different than sending it to an old friend.The man holding the mobile phone pursed his lips, sighed slightly, and put the mobile phone in his pocket. Logan pulled himself together and made a big meal, and invited his brother to come to get together.

To be honest, Victor was a little speechless, he looked at his brother's gloomy face, instead of making fun of Logan and his little lovebird's recent cold war, he rarely used his mouth to eat.Sure, he likes to joke around with his brother, but that doesn't mean he's willing to give up the good food and instead push each other's heads into soup with Logan like a pair of rambunctious toddlers.

Delicious stuffed turkey, hot mash pie, creamy puff pastry, and a table full of delicious food. Victor felt that Logan hadn't made such a big dinner that Christmas when the two reconciled.

"Don't put on that look," Victor mumbled between bites of cornbread with cranberry-sweet sauce, "looks like you're eating the Last Supper."

Logan shook his head, taking a sip of the creamy soup. Logan shared Victor's preference for meat, so they both enjoyed the big meal.The two chatted while eating, and when they were full, Logan got up naturally and started tidying up. He put the dishes in the sink, and then put the unfinished food into the refrigerator.And Victor was sitting on the sofa, yawning and watching the talk show on TV, beating the drumbeat of the background music with his hands on his legs.

The sound of water in the kitchen caused him to look away from the screen, and Victor looked around. This apartment was very different from before, much less a standard bachelor's residence like himself.But he didn't have other thoughts, after all, everyone has their own way of life, Victor let his heavy stomach rest for a while, then stretched, he greeted Logan and planned to leave.

"Going to the bar?" Logan wiped his wet hands on the hem of his clothes, seeing that Victor didn't intend to stay, he just asked.

"Yeah, I have nothing to do." Victor rubbed his nose and said.

"Wait for me, I just want to go out." Logan turned and walked into the room, "I'll go to Scott's and give you a ride."

"Oh." Victor responded by turning off the TV. "You and him made up?"

"No, but I want to send him something." Logan's voice sounded muffled through the door.

Victor choked on his own spit when he saw his brother come out.

"What's the matter?" Logan reached out and grabbed the black woolen coat on the coat rack, bent over to change shoes at the door, and asked casually to Victor, who couldn't stop coughing, without looking up.Standing up, Logan was a little puzzled seeing Victor who was still there: "Still leaving?"

"You fucking... what's going on?" Victor's voice even tinged with despair.

Logan was clutching a large red and white Christmas stocking that looked soft and springy, with beautiful garlands woven around the top and even some bows.Only those children will hang it on the door, happily expecting that there will be a full gift from Santa Claus inside the next day.

"Christmas presents." Logan shook the cute big sock in his hand, and said in a matter-of-fact manner.

"No, we're talking about gifts that go inside, not socks." Victor was a little shocked, he'd always thought his brother was limp from the icing, and now he doubted Logan's The head has been completely stuffed with cream.He suddenly missed the Logan who would threaten each other with a gun with him a few years ago, so that both of them were punished by the officer to do hundreds of one-armed push-ups.

Logan ignored Victor, who seemed to be deeply shocked. He just put the sock in his pocket, and the soft fabric stayed in his pocket safely. He said, "Let's go, Victor."

After seeing off Victor, Logan came to Scott's apartment with ease. He just wanted to hang the socks on the youth's bedroom door. This was a festival repertoire, and he originally planned to do it together.Thinking that Scott should also spend Christmas with his fathers, Logan felt a little sorry.

Logan stepped out of the elevator, and he walked to the door of the apartment, took out the key and put it in the door lock, with an inaudible clicking sound, the door opened, leaving Logan in the darkness.At the same time, he heard Jim's cry.The man's hand that was about to turn on the light froze on the switch. Due to dark adaptation, Logan couldn't see the situation in the room clearly for a while. He squinted his eyes and could barely see the outline of a familiar person on the sofa.

"Scott?"
