phantom nightingale

down?Take it off!The boy looked at his hands expectantly.

Eric put down his hand and sighed, a trace of sadness and loneliness flashed in his eyes.

The boy also sighed, alas, he still didn't take it off.He reached out and hugged Eric's waist, and rubbed his furry head on his chest, don't look so lonely!Am I not here with you?

"Forget it, if you don't want to leave, then stay!" Actually, I also don't want you to leave.Eric tightened his arms and rubbed his face against the boy's head.The boy smiled, um, I won't leave, don't drive me away.

[-]. Separation

The two who were embracing suddenly heard a commotion in the theater. When they went over, they saw that the old dean had brought the two newly appointed deans. At this time, "Hannibal" was being rehearsed in the theater.

"That soprano sings really badly, with no skill, no emotion at all," Eric commented after listening for a while.The young man nodded, they sang so badly, they can't compare to you or me, why are we listening to songs here, wasting time!let's go!He hugged Eric's arm and tried to pull him away.

"Hey, wait. Watch me tease them."

I saw that the hanging scenery on the stage suddenly fell down, and there was a sudden chaos on the stage.

"It's the Phantom, he's here. It's the Phantom of the Opera, he's here!"

The soprano got angry and said that if these supernatural phenomena didn't stop, she would stop acting, so she left angrily.

"Hmph! It would be best if she didn't act!" Eric sneered.

When the old dean saw that it was not good, he immediately threw the blame away, turned around and left.Mrs. Geary conveyed a message from the Phantom of the Opera, reminding the two deans that it is time to pay the Phantom.The two deans dismissed it, and Mrs. Geary told them that the old dean gave the Phantom [-] francs a month.The two deans looked like you were joking.Tonight is the performance. When I learned that because this is a new drama, there is no substitute, the two directors who took office were anxious.Mrs. Geary strongly recommended Christine, who sang a song.

Eric, who originally wanted to leave, stayed when he saw this development. The teenager who pulled Eric away gave Christine an unhappy look, but he had to admit that although he was a little nervous at first, Chris later Ting sang better and better.Christine, who has an ethereal and emotive voice, does a decent job of interpreting the song.

In the evening, the two went to Box No. [-] to watch Christine's performance as usual.After reading halfway, the boy didn't want to read it very much, so he walked first and went back to his room to read.He has learned to read more and more characters, and he has taken to reading Eric's library.

Unexpectedly, at night, it was discovered that Eric had taken Christine to the underground palace and spent the night there.And Eric actually sang to Christine, the movement of the night!What about just singing to me? (didn't say yes) The boy was so jealous that he almost wanted to send a nightmare to Christine who was asleep.In the end, I held back, no, my voice is still not good, and Christine is innocent.Fuck his innocence, no no no, calm down, calm down.Oh no, I'm still angry!Go away, go to bed.What is not seen by the eyes is pure, and what is not heard by the ears is clear.

In the morning, the boy nestled in the quilt and didn't want to get up. He didn't want to see the scene where Eric treats Christine tenderly. It was too dazzling.Suddenly, he heard Eric's scream.He quickly jumped up from the bed and ran to the room where they were. He was about to push the door in but saw the feathers on his arm. He thought that Christine was in the room, so he hid outside the door and looked in.

I saw Eric covering his face with his right hand, scolding and looking for his mask everywhere.Christine was pushed to the ground and watched Eric lose his temper in horror.Finally, Eric calmed down, "My face is unimaginably horrific, I'm afraid you don't dare to look at it, and you don't even dare to think of me. I should be burning in hell, A disgusting monster shamelessly coveting the beauty of heaven. But, Christine, fear can also be transformed into love, you will get used to it, and you will learn to see me in this ugly shell", Eric tentatively Putting her hand down, Christine turned her head away in horror.

The boy was crying behind the door with tearful eyes, his hands tightly covering his mouth, Eric, you actually fell in love with someone else!Why are you not in love with me?I saw it, I saw your talented soul, so beautiful, so dazzling.I heard it, your beautiful heart coming out of your singing and piano.I've seen your dreams, those nightmares before I came, but it's not your fault, it's because this world is too cruel to you.The boy turned his back against the wall, feeling a sharp pain in his heart, he slid down the wall weakly and fell to the ground.The water god clearly told me that I will only become an adult if I like you and you also have a good impression of me, but why did you fall in love with Christine?Then why did I become a human?Is it because you still have me in your heart?Then why do I still have feathers on my body after becoming a human?Why do I only make bird calls when I open my mouth?Is it because your love is impure, isn't it just me in your heart?

After his voice was almost improved, the boy secretly tried it. He wanted to practice calling him Eric, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only make a bird cry, and finally he coughed up blood again.As a result, his voice has not improved until now, and Eric still wonders why it suddenly deteriorated.

While crying silently, the boy scratched his throat with his hands, and blood flowed down his neck.What's the use of a voice that can't even say the words I love you and the name of my sweetheart, it's ruined!Suddenly the young man remembered Eric's dreams, those brought to Eric by him, inspired him to dream, and he stopped his movements immediately.No, you can't ruin this voice, only the songs you sing yourself are the best medium for his mana.He can borrow mana and express his love to Eric in dreams!Also, Eric had loved his singing since he was a bird.Even in the language of birds, Eric must be able to hear the deep love in his songs.

The boy hurried to find the medicine, and smeared it on the mirror.Fortunately, he didn't really hurt his throat, the boy thought happily, and then looked at the horrible criss-cross scratches on his neck in the mirror, no, I have to use something to cover it up.After rummaging through boxes and chests, he found a silk scarf. The boy wrapped the silk scarf around his neck, carefully covered up the scars, and looked around in the mirror.That's fine, you shouldn't be able to see it.

On the other end, Christine returned the mask to Eric.After Eric put on the mask, he sent Christine back.

After that, he returned to the studio and stood there in a daze.The boy walked into the house and hugged him from behind.Eric didn't respond, just whispered, "She's afraid of me. Even she's afraid of me. Why is no one willing to accept me? My father has never seen my face, and my mother, in order not to see My face also cried and gave me a gift - this mask - and told me never to take it off." Eric's voice was full of despair, and he knelt on the ground in tears.

You still have me, I am not afraid of you!I am willing to accept you, don't cry.I will always be with you.Eric, I love you.

The teenager knelt in front of Eric, hugged him, and reached out to wipe away his tears.

Eric firmly held the boy's hand, not letting him touch his face, staring at him viciously, his eyes that glowed in the night seemed to be on fire, and he said harshly: "Little Nightingale , are you curious too? Do you want to see my face too? You always stare at the mask on my face too! You’re just not as bold as Christine, aren’t you? Or are you already secretly sleeping on me? Have you seen it when?"

I didn't, the boy shook his head desperately.His hands hurt from being scratched, but he didn't dare to struggle.Eric is so scary right now.How could I do such a thing?I'll wait until you're willing to show it to me, take off the mask yourself.If you don't want to, it's okay for me not to watch it for the rest of my life.

"Oh. That's right. If you have seen it, why would you still be willing to stay with me? How about it? Do you want to see it? Let's go, let's go, let's all go!" Eric said and took off his face Putting on the mask, he brought that half of the deformed and weird face to the boy's eyes.

The boy was startled by his suddenly approaching face, and flinched.Eric turned his face away, and said bitterly: "Sure enough, you are also afraid."

The teenager leaned forward, trying to comfort Eric.It's a bit scary, but it should be fine once you get used to it!And what he likes has never been the gorgeous appearance. From the very beginning, he was fascinated by Eric because of his singing!

"However," Eric turned his head and sneered viciously, "you don't have the right to despise me, do you?" He looked at the boy's arm meaningfully, and suddenly reached out and plucked a feather.

it hurts!The teenager subconsciously covered his arms and stared at Eric with wide eyes in horror.

"What kind of monster grows feathers and can only make bird calls?"

The boy looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, do you think I don't know? You screamed in the room all afternoon, but it was all birdsong. This is my underground palace. Is there anything I don't know?"

Suddenly he stretched out his hand to pinch the boy's chin, lifted his face, and looked at this delicate and beautiful face carefully, his eyes were full of envy.Eric couldn't control himself, and kept spitting out hurtful words, "You are so lucky. Although you are also a monster, but
