Chapter 27 (1/2)

“You’re up.”

Pfffsss, as soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the handsome features with his chin slanted at an angle. When our eyes met, he bent his red eyes finely and, then lowered his head and pressed his lips to my exposed shoulder and asked.

“… did you sleep well?”

I haven’t slept, so put on some clothes, you shameless bastard! I desperately pushed his lips away, but even though he was thrown away, he smiled and walked over to the window and pulled the curtains. His strong upper body was exposed.

“Ah, the weather is really nice.”

…… what the hell? I looked up with cold eyes at the gloomy sky that looked like a storm was about to come. The curtains are drawn, but the brightness is the same. Obviously, Dark Age is the same as yesterday, but the reason why it looks particularly bright today is probably because of this stupid reaper by my side.

Abel seemed to have become a flower god instead of a reaper overnight. It seemed as if spring would come at any moment when a flower smile was floating in the morning. Somebody’s going to have a hard time. Abel was so crazy that I wasn’t sure who he was. He’s the one I saw in the temple and I didn’t see it wrong. If he was honest twice, I’m not going to stay.

Anyway, Abel, who became a gentle puppy overnight, listened to me very well. Because he said his back hurts, I rubbed his back–I slapped him on the back with a hand that went down harshly-, gave him everything he asked for–he asked for a kiss every day in return-, I smiled softly and I’ll help him in the shower. It was as if the savage dog had become a puppy in one day.

The morning was normal as usual. I woke up late, ate kakagu juice and a couple of prune-flavored berries for breakfast, hugged Wazowski as a cushion, and read the books the demons thoughtfully brought me…

“……… ”

Anyone who sees me would think that I have four arms. I looked at the arms wrapped around my waist with cold eyes. From the moment I woke up in the morning, this grim reaper, who had been clinging to me, never thought of letting go.

Yeah, it’s like that now, and I’ve acknowledged it, so I was able to get past the fact that we were so close that it was hard to turn the pages and kissing the cheeks and the nape of my neck so much that it was annoying. But that.

“Why, what do you need?”

Snack? coffee? Or me? Striking a strange and absurd line, when our eyes met, he sharply curled his and folded the ends of his eyes. That smile! I can’t turn over the pages because of that smile, which has been constantly leaking since before. The human field of vision is wider than you think. Even though I was looking at the book, I could see it all with a squint.

“…… Stop smiling.”

The red corners of his mouth and eyebrows didn’t show any signs of coming down, so I tried hard not to pay attention to it, so I looked at the sheet of paper and said impatiently.

“I can’t concentrate because of you. Go away.”

Stop touching my hair! it will be oily. He frowns in dissatisfaction when I take the hair that has been abused for hours in Abel’s hand. It’s like, his face was saying why did you take mine? It’s an unfortunate expression. It’s obviously my hair, but I feel weird because it seems like it’s interfering with my legitimate actions.

“Why?”

I can’t quite see the text. Yes, that smile makes my daily life impossible. But I wasn’t the sweetest person to say that face-to-face.

“You, because of that face.”

Abel’s eyebrows wrinkled as he frowned and pretended to wipe his face down, unable to speak in detail. How can an impression change so drastically with one facial expression?

“You don’t want to see it? Huh, now you’ve seen it all, right?”

Why, are you tired of it? Huh? You don’t even want to look at it anymore? Not knowing where that hot temper went, Abel growled, pushing his face in my face, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

“No, not that.”

“Then what!”

“You’re so handsome that I can’t concentrate!”

When he threatened me without giving me a chance to explain anything, my true feelings came out without me knowing. As I screamed, his wild eyes widened in surprise. Wha what what, Abel’s face started to heat up late, and then it suddenly turned red as if it was about to explode.

“You, what do you say-!”

“You told me to tell you!”

Oh, damn it! Embarrassed belatedly, I quickly left my seat, when Abel grabbed my wrist.

“……So do I.”

“Huh?”

“I can’t do anything because of you.”

It was a line that could have my hands and feet curled up, but my heart was pounding because of his serious gaze. As I was rolling my eyes in embarrassment, something cool touched the back of my hand.

A brief kiss on the tips of the fingers, the back of the hand, the bones of the fingers, and the knuckles of the fingers, and then he put his lips to the wrist where the artery is located. With his long eyelashes down, his lips went to the pounding, wildly beating wrist for a while.

Chu! Both of our faces turn red at the unexpected and embarrassing sound. I was startled by the sound of coughing from the side of the window.
