1.
Fulgur met Uki on his way to the town.
In that harsh winter, Uki, who was only wearing thin clothes, curled up on the side of the road in a coma, his body trembling constantly due to the low temperature.
Fulgur saw the dusty but still gorgeous purple hair from not far away. He was still struggling in his heart whether to go over and take a look, but his legs had already moved on their own, walking towards the child. Fulgur took a closer look, and discovered the thin and weak boy was probably five or six-year-old.
It was another tragedy. Fulgur sighed.
When winter comes, many poor families will choose to abandon their weak children to save the lives of others in the family. There are many such cases in the town where Fulgur lived. He did not expect that this richer town would have the same thing happen.
It will snow soon, if Fulgur continues to walk forward and pretends to see nothing, this feeble fire of life will soon be extinguished. Fulgur's heart softened, and he couldn't convince himself to ignore the poor child. Although he was struggling in life, he decided to bring the child back home first, at least take care of him through the winter.
Fulgur bent down and picked up Uki. The light weight makes Fulgur feel a bit bitter. He took off his cloak to wrap Uki.
Uki's whole body was wrapped in a warm leather cloth and stuck to Fulgur's warm chest. He relaxed a bit after touching the heat source, the bruised and purple from the cold on his face slowly faded. Suddenly, a tear slipped from the corner of his closed eyes and submerged in the warm cloak.
Fulgur sighed again, hugged Uki tightly, turned around and walked back home. It seems that his plan to go to town has to be postponed.
2.
The moment Uki wakes up and opens the breathtakingly beautiful eyes with different colors, Fulgur knew why he was being abandoned. Most of the places consider heterochromia as an omen and a sign of witchcraft. People are afraid of these unnatural differences on eyes' colour.
After waking up, Uki get up, he stares blankly at Fulgur who was sitting on a chair not far away and was knitting a scarf, then he carefully pull up the quilt, wrapping himself from head to toe, only remains his pair of heterochromatic eyes staring at Fulgur with shyness and nervousness.
Fulgur puts down the things in his hands. He stands up and wants to get closer to Uki, but he worries he will scare him, so he just keeps some distance and asks softly, "Are you okay?"
Uki doesn't answer. He flinches back, says nothing but keeps his eyes fix on Fulgur. Fulgur thought for a while, then he turned around and walked out of the house. After Uki looks at where he left uneasily for a while, he comes in again with a bowl of hot soup. He closes the door to block the howling cold wind outside the house.
Fulgur comes closer to Uki, when he is beside the bed, he bends down to make himself look less intimidating. He passes the bowl of hot soup to Uki , smiles and says, "Are you hungry? Would you like some soup?"
The nice smell of soup and Fulgur’s friendly face make Uki finally stretch out his hand from the quilt. He receives the bowl of warm soup from Fulgur vigilantly, sniffs it cautiously, and finally drinks it in big gulps. Maybe he drinks too quickly, he is choked a bit.
"Be careful!"
Fulgur quickly takes away the nearly overturned bowl and puts it aside. He doesn't have the time to worry if Uki is afraid of him, he immediately sits down and holds Uki in his arms, patting his back to help him relax.
After Uki slowly stops coughing, he bites his lower lip and glances up at Fulgur. Then he looks at the unfinished soup beside the bed without making any sound, but clutches the hem of his clothes in fear.
Maybe this poor kid is afraid that he would not let him finish the rest of the soup, Fulgur thought.
Fulgur strokes Uki's back reassuringly, and passes the wooden bowl back to Uki with a smile. "Slowly, there is enough for you."
After Uki sips and finishes the soup quickly, he still holds the bowl and doesn’t want to put it down. When Fulgur asks him if he wants to have more, he slowly shakes his head.
Uki was much more obedient than Fulgur imagined. After Fulgur gives him some food, he sits in his arms, and even docility leans towards his chest.
"What's your name?" Fulgur asks.
He helps Uki straighten his messy and dusty hair, thinking about boiling some hot water to help him wipe his body.
"...Uki." Uki looked up at Fulgur's face and asked carefully, "Your name..."
"My name is Fulgur." Uki is too cute, Fulgur is unable to hold back and pokes Uki's cheek.
Uki let go of the bowl, imitating Fulgur's act, raised his hand to poke Fulgur's face, and said softly: "... Fu... Fu Fu Chan..."
Fulgur understands why people are always unable to resist cute cubs.
3.
Fulgur didn't expect that Uki is really a born wizard.
On a snowstorm day, Fulgur is going out trying to clear off the snow accumulated on the roof and repair the broken hole. It has been snowing for several days and the roof is crumbling due to damage. But Uki pulls him nervously, not letting him go out.
"I just go out to clear the snow, and I'll be back soon." Fulgur pats Uki's head. Uki has been very clingy ever since he has been rescued. He shows trepidation when Fulgur leaves him.
"Don't go out, I can help."
Uki just reaches Fulgur's waist, but he tries his best to hug Fulgur from the front. He looks up at Fulgur, biting his lip thinking for a while, then raises his hand and waves towards the roof.
Suddenly, a huge amount of snow collapses from the roof and nearly covered the lower half of the windows. The fist-sized hole on the roof is blocked with a piece of wood to isolate the wind and snow outside, the house immediately became quiet and warm.
Fulgur opened his eyes widely, looked at the snow outside the window and the roof, then looks down at Uki.
"You...you don't have to go out now."
Uki observes Fulgur's reaction. Fulgur's silence makes Uki scared. He let Fulgur go and steps back until his back hit the door, looking down at his toes with a sour feeling in nose.
He knows that he is a very strange child, therefore his parents abandoned him. Even though Uki knows that Fulgur might also be afraid of him, he mustered up the courage to use his ability in order to keep Fulgur out of danger. But he regrets it after seeing Fulgur's reaction.
"I'm so weird..." Uki says with a trembled voice, not daring to look at Fulgur.
Fulgur quickly takes a few steps forward, knees down and holds Uki's tightly clenched little hand. When Uki slightly raises his head to glance at him, Fulgur said firmly, "You are not weird at all! You are very talented and powerful. Thanks for helping me a lot!"
A shy smile appears on Uki's face. He carefully holds Fulgur's hand tightly and looked into Fulgur's silver eyes. After a while, he stretched his arms around Fulgur's neck.
Uki's hand is a bit cold. Fulgur holds Uki's leg and lets him sit firmly on his arm. He carries Uki to sit near the fireplace, then he picks up the fairy tale book and starts reading a story for Uki.
4.
Fulgur is a werewolf.
Most of the time he can maintain the appearance of an ordinary man, but the week around full moon, he can't control his ears and tail popping out. For those days, he has to avoid the crowd.
However, on normal days, he will unconsciously reveal the characteristics of a werewolf if he is too emotional. He basically lives alone in the outskirts and only enters the town when necessary in order to avoid accidents.
He thought of living completely alone far away from cities, but the human part of him yearns to communicate with other people. He still takes risks and regularly enters towns for shopping and wandering.
He tried very hard not to have too many contacts with other people. Although there are some good people, some others may be very disgusted and fearful once they know what he really is. He wouldn’t stay long in one place for safety consideration. He constantly moves from one town to another to make sure he wouldn’t show his unusual part of him after staying in one place for too long. This is also to ensure those mythical creature hunter organizations cannot find him.
Nevertheless, after adopting Uki, Fulgur had to stay and settle down in this town. Taking care of a child took more time and effort than he imagined.
At first, he just planned to take care of Uki for this winter, but when time flows, he finds out that he becomes unable to let Uki go.
5.
Uki is too thin and weak. Fulgur thought he was only five years old at first, but he was already seven.
In the first winter Fulgur adopted Uki, he tried hard to feed Uki and finally make him grow more flesh on his face.
The severe winter has passed and spring is coming, Uki continues to live with Fulgur. Fulgur couldn't bear to send away Uki when he saw Uki's emaciated body. He decided to adopt Uki until he doesn't need others to take care of him.
Uki seems to know Fulgur's thoughts. When Fulgur takes him for a walk by the river, he tugs at the corner of Fulgur's clothes and asks pitifully if Fulgur is going to send him away. Uki's worry further dispel Fulgur's thought of sending him away. He doesn't want to make Uki feel abandoned again.
"Uki, you can stay here as long as you want." Fulgur pats Uki's head gently.
Only then does Uki smile. He runs away to collect a bunch of red flowers, then he comes back and holds them up in front of Fulgur.
He looks at Fulgur intently with his heterochromatic pupils. "Thank you, Fu Fu Chan. I, I will be very useful to you."
He feels the heartache. He takes the flowers, kneels down and hugs Uki.
"Don't say that. I will take good care of you."
6.
One day in late autumn when Uki is nine years old, a small accident happened when Fulgur took him to the town.
Although Fulgur often emphasizes to Uki not to show his magic in front of other people, Uki used magic unconsciously that day when he tried to save a child who fell from the second floor.
Fulgur is buying things when he hears the noise and screams of the crowd. He turns around immediately and watches the child, which is too scared to scream slowly descending to the fruit stalls on the ground.
He looks down at Uki and sees him muttering and staring at the child with unblinking eyes.
Fulgur vigilantly looks around, worrying that someone would notice Uki's anomaly. After the child landed safely, he immediately picks up Uki, hides him in his chest, and hurriedly leaves the market.
Uki leans quietly on Fulgur's chest when they're going back to home, he realizes that he seems to make some trouble.
"Sorry…"
After they arrive home and Fulgur puts him down, he walks towards the corner with a face full of remorse and sadness. He stands facing the wall and unwilling to leave even Fulgur continually calls him.
Fulgur scratches his head. He actually brings Uki away because he is worried about him. He doesn't want to blame him for using magic to save a life. However, Uki keeps on feeling that he is causing trouble.
"I'm really weird...why do I have such a strange ability..." Uki sobs, his thin shoulders trembling slightly.
Fulgur sighed.
He shakes his head, two silver wolf ears emerge from his silver hair, and a long fluffy tail appears behind his back.
In these two years, He tried his best to hide his identity as a werewolf from Uki. On the night of the full moon, he relied on the extremely expensive potions to slow down his desire to transform. After Uki fell asleep, he turned into a wolf and ran outside to vent his energy. But today, he took the initiative to reveal his secret under Uki's tears.
"Uki." Fulgur pats on Uki's shoulder, and insists on calling him even though he refuses to turn around: "Uki, good boy, I have something to show you."
Uki sniffs and finally turns around with his head down. When he notices something furry dangling behind Fulgur, he immediately stops sobbing, looking up with confusion. The moving ears on Fulgur's head make him open his mouth wide in surprise. His tear-filled eyes also widens instantly.
"I'm weird too, we're the same." Fulgur let Uki put his hand on his head, and let him touch his ears.
Uki is a little shocked. When his hand touches Fulgur's ear, he just dares to stroke it lightly, and looks surprised at the ear that keeps turning left and right.
"I'm actually a werewolf, and I might eat you. Are you afraid of me?" Fulgur says with a little nervousness.
Uki immediately shakes his head and hugs Fulgur tightly. "No! Fu Fu Chan is cute, it's not weird at all! I'll never be afraid of you."
Fulgur's heart becomes so soft, he hugs Uki back and pats Uki's back comfortingly.
"I never thought you were strange. You have some special ability and it is amazing. You just use your power to save a kid. I’m really proud of you." Fulgur lowered his voice: "I'm just a little bit afraid of some bad guys. If they know you have such a powerful ability, they will abduct you and I will never see you again."
Uki rubs his head on Fulgur's shoulder and promises, "I'll be careful from now on."
Uki raises his hand again to touch Fulgur's ear: "Fu Fu Chan should also be careful, don't let others see this."
"I will."
Fulgur's ears are itching, so he tucks his ears and tail away. Uki looks at Fulgur's head with pity, and suddenly pulls Fulgur's hand again, making him look at himself again.
"Fu Fu Chan, you can eat me anytime you want." Uki looked at Fulgur seriously.
Fulgur couldn't bear to laugh. He covers his face and wipes up and down and blocks his upturned mouth, and then says: "Well, then you have to eat more to gain weight, so I can have more meat to eat. "
Seeing Uki nodded obediently, Fulgur finally burst into laughter.
7.
Uki keeps his promise of eating more. Under the good care of Fulgur, he grows and his cute face gradually becomes gorgeous. When Uki is eleven, Fulgur is surprised by his beauty from time to time. Especially when Uki squints and smiles in the sunshine, Fulgur often stares at him for a long time.
After Fulgur tells Uki that he is a werewolf, he finally didn't have to hide his identity uncomfortably. Sometimes he will bring Uki into the forest and wander around relaxedly after he turns into a wolf. Uki enjoys going for a walk with Fulgur, who has turned into a wolf, to find some herbs to make potions.
Fulgur introduced Uki to an old witch who lived in the deepest part of the forest. Fulgur used to buy a lot of daily necessities in town and bring them to the witch in exchange for her potion to suppress the transformation into a werewolf. For now, the goods are used to ask her to teach Uki the witchy knowledge.
Uki begins to learn some basic herbal medicine and magic knowledge under the teaching of this taciturn witch. He masters his talents better and better.
At first, Fulgur was quite resistant to taking Uki into the dangerous forest. But after Uki used magic to kill a bear that was trying to attack them, Fulgur knows that Uki can protect himself well, so he is more willing to take him out.
Uki likes Fulgur’s wolf form very much. Every time Fulgur turns into a wolf, Uki hugs Fulgur's wolf head and rubs him around, pinching the wolf's ears and refusing to let Fulgur go. He sometimes kisses Fulgur's fluffy mouth. Despite Fulgur showing his sharp teeth threateningly, Uki just giggles and even strokes on Fulgur's tail.
When Uki goes too far, Fulgur will throw him on the thick grass, using the pads to restrain Uki's flailing hands, and open his mouth to scare Uki.
"Are you going to eat me?" Uki's eyes gleam fearlessly in the sun, and his body is relaxing.
Fulgur helplessly changes back into human form, and he accidentally kisses on Uki's face due to the momentum. The soft cheek makes Fulgur's heart tremble slightly. He blinks his eyes to get rid of the strange feeling in his heart, and picks Uki up from the grass. Fulgur is more satisfied with Uki's weight now. Uki grew up more than the first time he picked him up a few years ago.
"Not yet. I'll eat you when you are heavier." Fulgur gently hits on Uki's butt and walks deeper to the forest.
"What kind of herbs are you looking for today?"
"This one."
Uki takes out a piece of parchment from his pocket and shows it to Fulgur. They chat softly, rustling through the grass and disappearing into the depths of the forest.
8.
Whe Uki is fourteen, he begins to show interest and talent in architecture. He starts to expand their small wooden house and repair some dilapidated parts using magic.
Uki doesn’t change a lot for the house, he turns the semi-outdoor kitchen into an indoor space, separating the living room from the bedroom, and replacing the wood on the floor and walls. It takes him more than two months to finish building, making the cottage become more warm and comfortable.
Although the house was built with magic, it also consumed a lot of Uki's energy. He controlled the wood and stone to fly around in order to build what he wanted, but he could only do it for a few hours everyday. After that, he would be too tired and fell asleep in Fulgur's arms.
Uki becomes taller, his head has reached Fulgur's chest, which means he can't completely lie on Fulgur's chest like before. He was really unhappy when he realized this, but Fulgur reacts happily to his growth, so he no longer feels sad about his height.
Although he can't sleep in Fulgur's arms, he still insists on hugging Fulgur to sleep everyday, just like his childhood.
The day Uki finishes renovating their house, he happily tours Fulgur around the house, starting from the small garden at the front door to every corner of the house. Although Fulgur rebuilt the house with Uki, listening to Uki's introduction makes him feel more gratified and delighted.
"Fu Fu Chan, how is our new home?" Uki asked nervously, holding Fulgur's hand.
"I like it very much!"
Fulgur puts his hands under Uki's armpits to lift him up, turns a circle in the center of the house, and falls on the ground piled with several soft cushions with Uki. They laugh at each other.
9.
At the age of sixteen, Uki ushered in the first wet dream in his life.
He didn't know what happened at first. He wakes up in the morning and feels that his pants are wet. He is panic and wants to sneak away from Fulgur's arms who haven't woken up, but he is hugged by the awakened Fulgur when he tries to move.
"What's wrong?" Fulgur askes sleepily.
Uki bites his lip, hesitates and can't speak. Fulgur feels a little strange, his sleepiness fades away. He sits up and touches Uki's hair with concern: "Did you have a nightmare?"
"My body seems weird..." Although Uki feels unspeakable, he still holds back his shyness and asks: "I... Did I wet the bed?"
Fulgur looks confused, he quickly realizes what happened after Uki takes off his pants.
Fulgur hasn’t seen Uki naked for some years. He suddenly realizes that Uki doesn’t have much knowledge about sex because he has never told him anything. Uki has no idea what’s happening to him.
"Uh, this is normal, it's proof of your growth..."
Fulgur reflects on his education. He didn’t take care of Uki comprehensively enough.
Fulgur asks Uki to take a bath first. After Uki comes back, Fulgur resists the embarrassment and explains some sexual knowledge such as wet dreams, sex and childbirth to Uki.
Uki blushes while listening, but he still stares at Fulgur and nods thoughtfully.
-
A few days later, Fulgur enters the bedroom and sees Uki wrapping himself tightly with a quilt regardless of the hot weather. As soon as Uki sees him, he softly begs him to come over. When Fulgur walks closer worriedly, Uki pulls him to sit on the bed.
"Fu Fu Chan...I'm so uncomfortable..."
Uki's voice is a little shaky, he leads Fulgur's hand to move slowly towards his lower body. Fulgur is so shocked that he completely forgets to struggle, and he touches Uki's erected penis through pants.
"Fu Fu Chan...please help me..." Uki whimpers, with a hazy mist in his heterochromatic eyes, pleading in his usual coquettish tone.
Fulgur climbs onto the bed with stiff hands and feet. After thinking for a while, he lets Uki lie on his chest. He clenches his fists and then relaxes them several times. Finally, He unbuttons Uki's pants and stretches his hands inside to take Uki's erect cock in his grip.
"Em..." Uki exclaimed hastily, and the legs squeezes Fulgur's hand tightly.
Fulgur’s ears are burning, he takes a deep breath, and emphasizes to Uki: "I will teach you to do it once, then you can do it yourself when you feel uncomfortable, okay?"
Uki nods wildly, hair brushing against Fulgur's chest through the thin clothing.
Fulgur thinks that he is a pervert when he masturbates for Uki. How can any normal person do this kind of thing for their adopted child...
Although Uki never called Fulgur to be his father, Fulgur watches Uki gradually grow into a beautiful teenager. What he is doing now makes him feel strongly condemned in his heart.
"Hmm~ Fu Fu Chan..."
However, Uki's cry also make Fulgur feel his irrepressible desire. He closes his eyes in pain, and accelerates the movement of his hand. His calloused thumb runs over the small hole of the glans, making Uki grab his arm and eject.
Fulgur has no time to check Uki's situation. He helps Uki to lie down on bed and tells him to rest, then he runs out of the room with embarrassment.
Uki curls up on the bed for a while before recovering from the orgasm. He looks towards the doorway where Fulgur had left, then he closes his eyes and rubs his cheek against Fulgur's pillow fascinatedly.
10.
Fulgur never thought that the first thing Uki does when he is 18 years old is to confess his love to him.
Although he does feel that Uki has become more and more clingy to him in recent years, and some behaviors have become very ambiguous, he just thinks that their relationship is getting better and better, but not in a romantic way.
The morning of Uki’s 18th birthday, Fulgur asks him what gift he wants when he wakes up. Uki just stands up on the bed to approach Fulgur, looks down at his silver eyes and says solemnly: "I love you, Fu Fu Chan. I want to be your partner."
Fulgur doesn't know how to react, he is too confused. The confession from the child he raised is so shocking that he doesn't know how to deal with it. He can only drag the topic away to distract Uki’s attention.
Uki, who doesn't get a positive response from Fulgur, was obviously depressed. He knows that it is impossible to force Fulgur to accept him, so he can only keep silent.
Silence flowing at home almost suffocated both of them at Uki’s 18th birthday.
11.
After that day, neither of them mention the love confession again, and try to maintain their usual way of life. Nevertheless, both of them know that their relationship will never return to the way it was before.
Uki often goes out by himself and is no longer clinging to Fulgur, so Fulgur is relieved. Although it is an ostrich-like behavior, both of them seem to need more time alone.
Uki thinks that Fulgur hates him now, but he never regretted confessing his love to Fulgur and he will not withdraw his love. He only hopes that Fulgur will not tell him to leave. Even if Fulgur doesn't respond, he still hopes that they can live together in the future. He will continue to silently like Fulgur.
Uki carries the daily necessities bought from the town and walks back home in silence, thinking about Fulgur's hesitation these days. His heart aches.
When he looks up and sees puffs of black smoke billowing from the woods in the distance, the things he is carrying fell to the ground.
That direction is their home.
Using magic to rush back home, Uki gasps and sees the wooden house in the sea of fire. There is also a group of people in white clothes holding spears and ropes to surround the wounded Fulgur with animal ears and tail exposed. Uki sees complete darkness in his eyes for a second, his heart almost stops beating.
"What are you guys doing..."
Uki's voice isn’t loud, but it is clearly heard by everyone around. Those white clothes people turn to look at him vigilantly. Fulgur shouts at him anxiously: "Go Uki! Don’t come!"
Uki doesn't seem to hear what Fulgur said. His voice becomes cold as ice: "You destroyed our house, and you hurt him!"
"It's him!"
"Is he the wizard?"
"He raised this werewolf…"
"careful!"
There is a commotion among the men in white. Before they attack Uki, flames that are only burning the house suddenly sweep over the nearest man, and quickly spread over all the men in white clothes in the blink of an eye. The fire tornado turns the scene into a screaming and wailing flame hell.
The blaze carefully avoids Fulgur, who is standing in the middle. The warm flames inappropriately reminds Fulgur of those campfires he and Uki shared in winter.
A pair of hands want to rush out of the flames to catch Fulgur, but they could only scream before they touch him, and are pulled back into the fire hell.
Across the sea of flames, Fulgur looks at Uki’s face which is distorted by the high-temperature soaring flames. After the wailing around him fades away, he runs towards Uki in big strides.
Before Fulgur's feet touch the flames, the flames extinguish themselves, leaving a charred path towards Uki.
"Fu Fu Chan, our home... Sorry..."
Uki watches Fulgur running towards him, and tears finally flow down his eyes. He exhausts all his strength to say this, then he closes his eyes and falls forward. Fulgur catches him in time.
Fulgur sighs, firmly hugs Uki who is already a little taller than his shoulders, and kisses the corner of his eyes heartbrokenly.
"Uki, you don't need to apologize..."
12.
Fulgur knows that the place where they live is no longer safe, so he decides to take Uki to move to a farther place, just like what he often did in the past, to find a new place to start a new life. Unlike before, this time he isn’t embarking on the journey alone.
Fulgur takes Uki, who is exhausted from using too much magic and is still in a coma, to say goodbye to the old witch and tells her to be careful. The old witch gives a rare sigh, then she gives Fulgur a lot of potions as a farewell gift and tells them to leave quickly.
Fulgur walks through two countries with Uki in his arms, and then stops in a warmer and less populated place. He thinks that Uki will like this place. The scenery near the lake is beautiful, and Uki can continue to grow some favorite plants. Also, the mountain that is not far away allows him to transform back into a wolf and takes Uki to explore.
Fulgur finds a cave to settle down first. During the journey, Uki is half asleep and half awake. After drinking the potion given by the old witch, his situation gradually stabilized, but he still sleeps much in a day.
After Fulgur takes Uki to live in the new place for a few days, Uki has more time to stay awake. Fulgur takes Uki for a walk outside the cave when Uki has more energy. Uki holds Fulgur's hand and looks at the surrounding scenery dully.
"What do you think? Uki? Do you like it here?" Fulgur asks softly.
Uki nods and shakes Fulgur's hand vigorously, says in a hoarse voice: "Because Fu Fu Chan is here, so I like it..."
Fulgur touches Uki's hair and continually leads him along the lake. But after a few steps, Fulgur feels that Uki's body is trembling slightly, so he stops immediately. He holds up Uki's face, wanting to see what happened to him.
"I'm sorry... Fu Fu Chan... Am I scary? I don't want to go... Please don't leave me..."
Uki is sobbing, his pretty face is covered with tears. Uki knows that the main reason causing this disaster is his identity as a wizard from those white clothes people. He feels that he should leave so he will not bring misfortune to Fulgur again, but he is still reluctant. However, when he recalls the surprise in Fulgur's eyes looking at him through the sea of fire, he feels that such a terrible person like himself should not stay any more. Love, guilt, and fear are all tangles in his mind, confusing his words.
Fulgur's heart is clenched. He hugs Uki tightly and puts his hands on Uki's back to comfort him. Then he says softly but firmly: "I said it before, unless you want to leave, I will not take the initiative to let you go."
Fulgur squeezes Uki's chin and lifts it up, helping him wipe the tears off his face, and make him look at himself clearly.
"Let me revise my statement now: Even if you want to leave, I won't let you go."
Fulgur kisses on Uki's lips and asks with a smile, "Do you like it here? We can build a new and more beautiful home here. Would you like it?"
More tears well up in Uki's eyes. The crystal water drops are like diamonds, slipping from the corners of Uki's eyes one by one, reflecting the dazzling brilliance under the warm sun.
Uki raises his toes eagerly, touches Fulgur with his soft lips, and chokes out: "I would!"
-END-
