Chapter 124: ...... Ten Years Later （3）

The man who was strangled in his arms trembled, and the sensation of the fangs cutting through the glands froze in motion.

The vibration of the vocal cords will definitely make the neck tremble slightly, and then drive the fangs to grind harder. Under this sense of crisis, the people who wanted to flee just now didn't even dare to make a breath sound.

Shuichi Akai let go of him.

There is a faint smell of blood in the mouth, and the scent of shower gel.

Those who are let go struggle like lambs from bondage. But he had long lost his strength, no matter what, he couldn't break free of the hand that was still holding his abdomen, and he still stayed at a distance where his hair would be blown by the other party's breath.

"Call me by name."

The man's voice was low.

Ikekawa Na lowered her eyes, and her eyes were moistened, and her curly and slender eyelashes were wet.

His lips trembled, and his confused brain received this sudden command, and even his vocal cords could not be controlled.

Name?

“…… Elegant...... Shuichi? ”

The man behind him let out a soft sigh of satisfaction, and the hand around his waist loosened slightly.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ikekawa Na finally broke free from her embrace.

He curled himself up on the futon carpet and covered the back of his neck with his hands, undisguised the wariness and fear in his expression.

It's a bit too much. Shuichi Akai reached out to pull the person up from the carpet, but when he got closer, it made the other person more laborious to hide behind him.

It's like trying to tuck yourself under the bed.

Under the influence of the glands made out of the laboratory, coupled with the overwhelming pheromones, it is estimated that Ikekawa Nai has completely lost her mind now, and only relies on instinct to support her actions.

But...... Judging from the fact that the other party was able to respond to his own request just now, it has not reached the point where he can no longer understand what others are saying.

Thinking like this, Akai Shuichi's expression moved, withdrew the hand he was going to take the other party, and asked under the man's vigilant gaze, "Is it better?" ”

Ikekawa Na, who was originally full of vigilance and fear, was stunned, and a blank look flashed on his face.

What?

Confused minds can't distinguish between the people in front of them as usual, but simply categorize the people in front of them into the camp of the bad guys and the aggressors.

But now, the 'bad guys' are saying words of concern that don't meet the requirements of 'bad'.

He was confused, and subconsciously followed the other party's inquiry to feel the physical condition, and found that the back of his neck didn't seem to be as hot as just now.

Although the place where I was bitten is still aching.

Looking at the other party's still confused expression, the man simply refined the question so that it would be easier for him to answer: "Is the back of the neck a little more comfortable than just now?" ”

Ikekawa thought for a moment and curled up in the quilt and nodded cautiously towards the other party.

If it weren't for the inopportune times, Shuichi Akai would have laughed out loud right now.

The left hand clenched into a fist to block the curvature of the corners of his mouth, and he looked at the other party at this moment...... As if it only appeared in a dream, he suppressed the smile in his voice: "Is the dizziness a little better?" ”

Ikekawa thought about it again and nodded at him, this time with a low 'um'.

"You're affected by the smell." Shuichi Akai explained to him as succinctly as possible, "The mark is to bite the position of the gland. It can help you relieve your symptoms. ”

The accented word 'help' echoed in my head. Ikekawa's eyelashes fluttered, and she tried to remember.

It was just ...... Help?

The hand clenched into a fist was released, and the tightened eyebrows relaxed a lot.

Seeing the fear in the other party's eyes fade, the FBI didn't have the slightest sense that it was coaxing. His fingers on the edge of the bed tapped on the wooden surface, and he smiled, "Where's the strength, have you recovered?" ”

It's better to say that it's weaker than just now, and if Ikekawa Nai is still sane now, he will taunt the other party.

But now, he tried to think about the question for a moment, and finally just shook his head, and there was even a little grievance in his voice.

"Nope." With his hand rubbing against the soft quilt, he thought about it again and added, "I can't move." ”

Shuichi Akai clenched his fist to his mouth again.

For a moment, he wished his eyes were cameras, with the ability to record and play across. It's a pity that this kind of once-in-a-century scene can't be watched again.

"Maybe it's not marked, right? I also tried this for the first time. His fingertips tapped on the edge again, and his expression was as usual, "Do you want to try again?" ”

Ikekawa turned her head to look at him.

The heterochromatic eyes were full of struggle and confusion. After thinking about it, he used what little strength he had left to prop himself up from the ground.

When he curled up on the carpet just now, he looked far away from each other, but when he sat up, he reached a distance that seemed to be shrouded by him.

Thinking that this was the other party's response, Shuichi Akai was about to stretch out his hand, but he saw Ikekawa Na moving again.

Under his somewhat surprised gaze, the young man reached out and straightened his loose black hair, revealing the back of his neck with red and swollen tooth marks towards him.

As if he was a little scared, he turned to Akai Shuichi, exposing his fragile neck, and carefully closing his eyes, his fluttering eyelashes could clearly see the tension in his master's heart.

That's really ......

The hand on the edge of the bed stopped, the man's expression darkened, and his voice turned between his lips and teeth, revealing a subtle hoarseness.

“…… good boy。 ”

What a good boy.

=====

The wrist was released, and Ikekawa Na fell towards the quilt with gravity.

The half of the quilt on the carpet has been put back on. Between the overly soft mattress and the thick quilt, he seemed to huddle in a nest.

The fingers were still trembling uncontrollably.

“…… Is it okay? ”

After relieving herself, Ikekawa asked him in a dumb voice, the sunlight streaming through the window illuminating her eyes with tears.

Shuichi Akai stood up, the tip of his tongue sweeping over the sharp canine teeth.

I don't know how to endure it, but in the end, I just grind and bite the skin repeatedly. He gritted his teeth to relieve the itching that remained on the canine teeth, and let go of the detached man, ready to take a cold shower.

Now that I have done the last step, I am afraid that I can directly scare the other party into 'running away from home', or hiding in the closet for the rest of my life.

Never mind...... If it weren't necessary, he didn't want to push the relationship between the two to this point now.

"yes, that's fine." Thinking so, he whispered back, his voice hoarse.

Before going to the bathroom, Shuichi Akai stretched out his hand to scrape away the tears that had accumulated in the eye sockets of the other party.

The last second his fingertips touched his skin, the young man who heard the response turned his head to look at him.

"Hmm." He didn't dodge the outstretched hand, but after staring at the man with a tear-covered gaze for a while, he whispered, "...... Thank you? ”

The fingers that were originally just scratching the tears shook and left a red mark on the side of the other party's nose.

Holding still, the man's dark green eyes sank almost immediately. He maintained this position for several seconds, and there was an irrepressible aggression in his voice: "Do you usually say thank you at such times?" ”

"What?" Ikekawa Na looked at him with a blank expression, and there was still a flush and tears on her face.

I didn't notice what I had just said at such a time.

I can almost think of another scene, and at another time, the person with a chaotic brain is at a loss to say thanks.

Shuichi Akai took a deep breath, tightened his hands, closed his eyes fiercely, and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

By the time he came out, the man curled up in the quilt was almost asleep.

What he said just now was not a lie, and after repeatedly 'marking' it, Ikekawana's symptoms did ease a lot. Now the group is resting in the futon and looks very quiet.

Shuichi Akai pulled up the curtains again and sat down on the edge of the bed.

This time, only one layer of tulle was pulled to reveal a soft light, making the room suitable for a nap without looking too dark. He looked at the other party's soaking eyelashes and a small half of the side face, and reached out.

Ikekawa Na didn't fall asleep. Sensing someone sitting next to him, he opened his eyes slightly and looked up at the hand that was caressing the side of his face. The expression can even be called well-behaved.

Shuichi Akai exhaled lowly.

The hand runs down the side of the face, flirting with the silk, like opening a gift that has been ten years late.

The red and swollen skin that had been bitten was exposed, and it was rubbed by the man's rough fingertips covered by the gun calloon.

He couldn't make any difference, and the experiments in tissue modification didn't work on the sense of touch. But as he touched a certain area, he felt the man under him tremble slightly.

Muffled muttering came out of his mouth. Ikekawa frowned and buried her face deeper into the quilt, instead exposing all her weaknesses to others.

A smile flashed in his eyes, and he withdrew his hand, but before he could stand up, someone pulled his sleeve.

“…… Where are you going? The person who had been trying to hold back the sleepiness and waited for the other party to come out of the bathroom had her eyelashes fluttering, and she did not hide the emotion in her eyes.

The 'mark' that Akai Shuichi uttered out did work to some extent, and the original irritability dissipated early, and it shouldn't be long before the brain would regain its clarity.

The sequelae is tooth acid dependence.

"Go to the living room." Shuichi Akai replied, "You take a break." ”

After hearing this, Chikawa Nai not only didn't let go of the hand holding him, but also tried harder to pull the person to her side. He propped up his upper body and wanted to get into the other person's arms, "I want to be together." ”

"Take me with you." He paused, his thoughts confused and his words incoherent, "Accompany me." ”

Shuichi Akai took a deep breath and hugged the person who had slipped into his arms.

It's hard to refuse. But it depends on the situation, it won't be long before he wakes up and wakes up completely.

When the time comes, I think back to all the things just now, and I don't have a place to calm down, so I don't know what kind of shame and anger will become.

But that's going to come later.

"I have some case materials that I have to read today, can we go to the living room together?"

The man who buried his head in the socket of his neck nodded without hesitation.

Shuichi Akai easily picked up the person and went to the single sofa in the living room, letting the other person sit on his lap.

When his request was satisfied, he slept on his chest with peace of mind, his hands still clinging to the clothes on his chest as he wrapped himself in a blanket.

The man smiled and hugged the person in his arms tighter.
