【Niji】Death of it

Summer is just too hot.Gene wore only his shirt.

Still short sleeves.

The afternoon sun made him drowsy even though he was always serious.Of course, the main reason is not the warm sunshine, but the short sleep time last night.

In such weather, the students have consciously closed the doors and windows and turned on the air conditioner, trying to make themselves more comfortable through the temperature.But the sun is so warm that even if the curtains are closed to avoid glare, they will shine through the curtains, like a hypnotic.

The students yawned.

"Hey, Gene, why are you so sleepy?" Nino walked up to Gene and asked him jokingly.

Gene rested his chin, drooping eyelids, and looked listless: "I slept too late yesterday, ha--I really hope to change to a teacher next class or just study by myself."

Nino laughed: "It's hard for you to think this way sometimes. If you're really sleepy, just lie down for a while. Even if it's 5 minutes, it's better than holding on. In this weather, even the teachers themselves can't help being sleepy." .”

When Gene heard this, he lay down on the table and said muffledly, "Okay—"

"But I'm curious, you always go to bed early and get up early, why did you suddenly stay up late?" Nino bent down, leaned closer to his head, and asked.

Gene seemed to fall asleep as soon as he got down on the ground, and after a pause for a few seconds, he said slowly: "Ah... it's not because... last night..."

"Ok?"

"I can't tell you..." Gene said vaguely, and then stopped talking.Nino waited patiently for a while, and found that he was indeed asleep, and smiled helplessly.

After class, Gene didn't say anything, and went to the bathroom expressionlessly.When I came back, I saw that Nino was still laughing, so I couldn't help but bumped his elbow on his shoulder: "Hey! You're still laughing."

Nino held his chin and didn't mind his movements: "I can't help it, it's so funny, it's really rare that you are scolded by the teacher once."

Jean was angry: "I overslept because you made me sleep!"

Nino raised a hand as a gesture of surrender: "Yes, yes——it's my fault, please punish me casually, the prince."

Gene pretended to smile coldly: "I owe you first."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Nino finished drinking the milk in a hurry, picked up the last half piece of bread and put it in his mouth, rushed to the door, picked up his coat and ran.

The man behind was sitting steadily, gnawing his own bread, and after chewing, he said to himself: "Although the prince's invitation is worthy of pleasure, this guy really has a good relationship with the prince..."

Before receiving the call, Nino thought that Gene had forgotten to ask about his birthday. After answering the call, he finished his dinner in an instant, said goodbye to his father, and ran away.

This was the first birthday his prince gave him.

In order to keep a low profile, since Nino entered high school, he hasn't ridden those big motorcycles that look cool, and put them in the garage.But maybe he was really happy today, and he rode his motorcycle to the coffee shop Gene had mentioned.

Nino took off his helmet and hugged it in his arms, and broke into the coffee shop like a young man, and the wind chimes were disturbed and jingled.Maybe it was because it was relatively cool at this time, and there were quite a lot of people in the store. The noise made by Nino instantly caught everyone's attention, and he stopped.

"Hi!—here." Genn waved to him.

Nino hurried over.

It's really embarrassing, even in her 20s, she's still so unstable.Nino educated himself.

But for Gene, Nino is just a friend and classmate who has known each other for less than a year but hits it off right away, while Gene is the prince Nino has seen growing up since he was a child, and even wished to be by his side all the time.Nino's excitement was also understandable.

Seeing him put down his helmet, Gene stared in surprise: "Did you come here by yourself on a motorcycle?"

"Well, but usually it's not convenient to go to school, and I don't ride much," Nino said as he sat down, and there were already two cups of coffee on the table.He moved his nose, because he liked the smell, "I thought I only told you once, and you wouldn't remember."

Gene: "Why, it's my birthday. I forgot to tell you about it, but you still remember it clearly."

"..." That's because I almost revealed my secrets.Nino thought to himself, and quickly changed the subject: "I remember everything about you very clearly."

Gene clicked his tongue with a smile, then pushed the exquisite gift box on the table a few centimeters towards Nino with his index and middle fingers, and with a smug smile: "Look, I've spent several nights to finish this Yes, but in the end you laughed at me for being caught sleeping by the teacher in class, so heartless."

Nino knew it was for himself, but he didn't expect it to be the reason for Gene to stay up late, so he couldn't help being stunned.He glanced at Gene, then glued his eyes to the gift box, took it over and carefully unwrapped it while blushing.

Of course, even though the lights in the store were not very bright, Gene noticed and laughed mercilessly: "Hahaha, you're still blushing, Nino."

Nino held his forehead and didn't answer him.

The gift box was exquisitely packaged, and Nino casually asked who packed it, and Gene said it was Lota, so he insisted on grabbing it.Nino smiled knowingly: "I think one day in the future, my position in Luota's heart will surpass that of my brother."

"At most equal to my brother!" Genn retorted.

Nino shrugged.

The gift box was opened to reveal a... camera?Nino took a closer look and found that it was not a real camera. After all, he already had two at home, so there was no need to give this one away.It was a handmade work, very finely done.

"How?" Gene showed off very much, "I couldn't find a tutorial, so I figured it out for a while. It can be fake, but the photos can only be stored in it. Here, try it."

Nino pressed the shutter button to Gene curiously, swiped, and a picture slid out.Nino picked it up, and it was a developed photo. On it, Gene was in the same pose as the person opposite, but the background was different.

"This one is also great." Nino murmured.

"Of course." Gene knew that Nino had always been relatively restrained in expressing his emotions. He could see that although Nino was not obvious, he was actually very happy, so he took a sip of coffee and picked up a coffee from the chair next to him. Kraft paper bag, "Here, my mother and Luota made a small pastry together. I couldn't invite you to play because of something at home. There will be a chance in the future, and I can taste the freshest bread. This time, I will wrong you first."

As he spoke, he leaned forward and patted Nino on the shoulder.

"This is?" Nino asked as there was a small box together with the kraft paper bag.

Gene pursed his lips: "Those are the glasses my dad bought. I told you that you are not short-sighted, and he insisted that it is better for you to wear glasses. But it was chosen by the two of us together. My eyesight is very good. "

Nino didn't know what to say.

Since he and his father engaged in this special "job", he has subconsciously refused to expand his social circle, birthdays and festivals, just take a picture of Princess Schnee's family, and then the two of them will go home and sit face to face and say a few words , even in the past.

And when he went to Gene's house for the first time, Nino felt a kind of cozy warmth, which almost made him feel that this place was his second home.

As far back as he could remember, this was probably the first time Nino had received more than two birthday presents.The important thing is not the value of the gift itself or the number of copies worth showing off, but the kind... that indescribable feeling.

Nino caressed the "camera" in his hand, unable to put it down.

Nino came back to his senses.

Gene looked at him blankly.Nino thought for a while before he remembered what he had just said.

Gene said to talk about what happened just now, he tried to smile: "I thought with your temperament, you would wait until you knew I said it before going back to face it."

"I pretend it didn't happen, and you pretend it didn't happen either."

Two voices sounded simultaneously.

There was a gap in the window, and the wind blew in from the outside, pulling up a corner of the curtain and shaking it, which also gave Nino a chill.

Nino didn't know what kind of mentality Gene had when he said such words, it seemed that such words were in line with his character.Although it can be seen that Gene's expressionless face is just because he was at a loss, since his parents passed away unexpectedly, Gene's character has become more restrained, even after a few years, he has gradually changed and let go. Nor is it the man in memory who proudly showed off his handiwork—well, it still happens in front of him occasionally.

Nino felt that he had received preferential treatment, but he was troubled by the reason for this preferential treatment.

"..." Nino escaped from the memories, looked at Gene for a long time, finally lost the battle, and said as if surrendering, "Sure enough, you are still that 'Jean'."

Gene didn't seem to know what to say, and after a while he said, "Yes."

Nino snorted, bounced on the bed, and pushed Gene down: "I can only tell you now that Lota's younger sister reacts faster than you, and Leel eats those things that are unnecessary. The flying vinegar is really inexplicable, what I want is never a sister."

But brother.

Gene froze when he pushed him down.In my impression, Nino looks easy to get along with, but he is actually a person who doesn't get along with oil and salt. Therefore, as each other's almost only close friends, the two can cherish each other very much.

No matter how indifferent or cruel Nino was to others, he never said anything harsh or excessive to Gene. It was the same as before, who knew that when both of them were awake, he would...

Gene pushed Nino helplessly: "Let go first."

Nino let go immediately, and slapped himself on Gene's body.

Gene hissed under his pressure, raised his leg and kicked: "Nino!"

Nino then rolled over to the side and raised his hands in surrender.

He took a look at Gene, and finally gave up the idea of ​​forcing this man to a showdown just tonight.That's not cost-effective. When it comes to his own happiness, Nino still inevitably thinks a lot.

But he soon discovered that Gene began to hide from himself on purpose. Even when they met, there were always various colleagues, friends, and passer-by uncles acting as light bulbs.

Probably Jin would feel a little awkward, but Nino would not.Now that everything has been discussed, Nino will not give up halfway, and he will not give up halfway, nor will he back down after Gene already knows his attitude.

Gene tried to avoid it with an evasive attitude, and Nino had to give full play to his enthusiasm for dating as an old man and strive for his own happiness.he thought so.

When Lota excused herself to go to the bathroom and Nino sat next to her, Jean knew that her dear sister had "betrayed"—or rather, she had noticed something early on and stood by Nino. that side.

Gene poked angrily at the cream on the small cake on the plate in front of him.

She also said that she wanted to marry Nino when she grows up, but now she actually wants to cooperate with that guy to lie to herself. What Nino said was right, in Luota's heart, Nino was already on the same level as her brother.Is this the sister-in-law?Gene's face was calm, and the fork in his hand showed that he was a little angry, but in fact, the complaints in his heart had drifted to nowhere.

Nino took the fork from him, inserted a small bite of the cake, looked at Gene, looked at the cake, blinked, and fed it into Gene's mouth.

Gene: "Hey you...uh (chewing)...ha, what are you trying to do? You're fooling Lota around!"

Nino tilted his head: "Of course I want to marry into the royal family as soon as possible."

"Look at them, don't you think they look a lot like us?"

"Although we didn't grow up together,"

"But I watched you grow up, little prince, you depend on me more than they depend on each other."
