《Shades Of Red | RaNnett》Part 9: Under the Tree
Advertisement
'Bye... Bennett.' 'I'll... be alright... Ra... zor...' 'Oh. Bennett go Good Hunter. Cathedral. Out.' 'Oh... okay...' Those were the last words we said before parting, I wonder why he wanted me to go there, probably to make me explain my cuts. *sigh* Typical Razor, always caring a little too much about others, and not letting them go until he's sure that they'll be 100% safe.
Can't believe I actually thought I had a chance with such a caring, loving, innocent, and perfect wolf boy. I really am oblivious. Knowing my luck, anyone who I might like would end up hating me. At least, Razor isn't leaving me, yet.
"BENNETT!" a pair of arms wrap me in a firm hug. "Ra- Razor, hi. Umm... could you like, not hug me that tight, its kinda hard to breathe and-" As he let go, a kid ran past us which took me by surprise and I started to fall.
My head was a grain of sand away from the floor when I was caught by Razor, we locked eyes for a moment, and I quickly turned my head around. "Thanks, Razor." My face started to heat up, 'Not the time, snap out of it,' I thought, trying to go back to reality.
"So, why did you wanna come here?" I asked trying to break the tension. Razor led me to a seat and asked, "Order?" I was shocked by this, as the wolf boy, he would normally avoid contact with others, what happened to him? "Razor?" "Yes?" "Do you have a... fever?" I was genuinely concerned, I put my palm on his forehead, checking if his temperature was normal, he was fine but I could swear I saw him blush.
"I'll do the ordering, Razor. The usual?" "O- okay." His voice trailed off at the end, he seemed s- sad? Disappointed? Yeah, he's acting weird. I got our food and placed it on our table, a plate of Matatsuke Meat Rolls for Razor, and a Sweet Madame for me. "Dig in," I said, and immediately Razor devours the meat rolls one by one. I let out a small chuckle before eating my own food.

It was a normal lunch together, just like the thousands upon thousands we'd had together. Razor led me out the Mondstadt gates, we passed by Timmy, and I had to remind Razor not to pounce on the pigeons, I'd told him many times but sometimes he forgets so it's best to be sure.
At nightfall, we were under the giant tree at Windrise, the crystalflies lit up the canopy of the tree, while the moonlight danced across the night sky. "You know, the Mondstadt lights still seem pretty, even from this distance." I turned my head to see a distracted and very much red Razor.
"Razor... are you-" "Bennett..." he cut me off, "Razor want tell something." "I'm listening," I replied, confused. But it became clear once he continued his words. He put one foot on the ground, and a knee on the floor, kneeling. He took out a piece of paper and showed it to me, the title read 'Colors', but what caught my attention was the section that read 'Red'.
"Bennett, Razor did homework, end up writing Bennett, make Razor realize, Razor very very very lucky Bennett friend, Razor like Bennett, more than friend, Razor... love Bennett. Can... Bennett and Razor... boyfriend?"
He gasped for air, he usually didn't talk much, while I was lost for words, I thought he was with Fischl, guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions. Tears formed in my eyes, I cried, I cried in happiness, but my thoughts flooded in.
'You love him, he loves you, go for it!' 'He'll end up leaving you anyway, your luck would ruin everything anyway.' 'He's perfect, why turn him down?' 'You don't deserve such a perfect person.' 'Shut up.'
"Razor..." tears continued to slowly roll off my chin, hitting the ground, "you... don't have to do this, faking that you love me, just so I can be happy." "But... Razor feelings, real. Razor real love Bennett." "R- Really?"

I suddenly felt lips meet mine, it felt great, the heat of my face and the heat of the moment encouraged me to go with it, and so... I did. I didn't pull back, I wanted it for so long, and I finally had it in my hands. Razor stopped, "Razor love, real."
He put his hands on mine, and time stopped. He slowly pulled me closer, staring at my eyes and I stared back. The wind lifted his long ash-grey hair, uncovering his face. His face looked beautiful when it reflected the dim moonlight, if only I had a Kamera.
He leaned in for another kiss, "Boyfriend?" "I would love to."

This is the dawn of the age of mankind. It is time to push back the wilderness and establish the kingdoms and empires that will govern this land. Players, the elect of the gods, are now coming to help humanity fight back. The dark ages are ended, and now is the time to lay the foundation! Now is the time to establish civilization! This is the Founding of Humanity! I am building this world for my own amusement, releases are not on any kind of schedule. I got to thinking "what if a beast tamer was changed by what they tamed" and this game mechanic sprung to mind. I do not know where this story is going. The main character is becoming a skill hoarder, as that is an advantage of the class design. The game system in this story is insipred by Log Horizon and Sword Art Online, where you get a skill and that is the skill, instead of getting a skill and then leveling it through tiers and rankings.
