79 Ch. 79 Lionel (1/2)
***
A man was sleeping on a long wooden chair with a book on his face. The man was in a place where most of flora and earth Elementalist lived together as a symbiosis of mutualism.
Unlike other elementalists who had natural beige skin, this man had exotic dark cocoa skin with golden-yellowish hair color. Other people who see it could immediately guess that the type of elementary energy of this person was earth. Only the owner of earth energy had an exotic dark skin tone.
”Li...o...nel,” greeted a girl with brown hair color with a ponytail. ”What are you doing?” the girl took the book from Lionel's face.
Lionel wrinkled his eyes as the sunlight pierced his eyes harshly. ”I'm photosynthesizing.” He answered while taking the book back and putting it on his face.
”You don't need photosynthesis. Look at your dark skin. It's getting darker each day.”
”It's sexy, isn't it?” he played his eyebrows teasingly.
”Huft! Instead of that ...” The girl gently pulled Lionel's arm to ask him to wake up from his sleep. ”Let's go on a date with me.” The girl said in a flirtatious tone.
Lionel immediately stood up. ”Date? Really? Where are we going?”
The girl smiled brightly, very sweetly making his heart melt. ”You will find out later.”
And it turns out... their intended date was really beyond expectations.
”You know, when you asked me out on a date, what I thought was unquestionably not this.”
The girl laughed with amusement. ”The important thing is we are together, right?”
Neigh! Neigh!
The sound of the neighing horse made Lionel surprised.
”Florence, why do we have to bathe the horses on this sunny holiday?”
”Because it is a sunny day. I don't want to bathe them in cold weather. What if they get sick later?”
”Like I said. Why do we have to do it? We can call a horse caretaker.”
”They are my babies. Of course, it has to be me who will take care of them. Besides, I can't trust my babies to other guys.”
”Then how about me? I'm your baby too.” He becomes sulky as his lover would always prioritize her babies instead of him.
”You are my big baby, and you can take care of yourself. You don't need my help.” Chuckled the girl.
Lionel crouched limp. ”Why did I decided to date her? I never knew that being in a relationship with someone could be this difficult. Should I just stop dating?” Lionel mumbled to himself.
”Did you say something?” Florence turned from behind one of his favorite horses to make Lionel smile and stand up.
”Nothing. Because they are your babies, they are also mine.”
Florence did not immediately believe it and looked at him suspiciously.
”Come, let's go bath them.” Consoled him, making the girl chuckled.
Florence and Lionel smiled at each other and continued their activities, which took almost three hours.
