MTL - Orc Predator-~ ☆Chapter vaguely noticed

At night, the fire in the cave danced, and the warm light dispelled the original chill.

John moved his body slightly, then opened his eyes, and saw Hal sitting next to him, fiddling with the fire boredly. He opened his mouth, he was not yet born, but the orc turned his head as if in response, and met his eyes.

"You're awake!" Hal's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurried to John's side. However, his action pressed John's wound. The latter frowned, raised his hand and slapped the orc, and Hal quickly sat back in his original position.

The partner finally regained some energy, which is rare, and Hal surprised and fed him a little something. John swallowed the food with difficulty, glanced around the cave, and said with some doubts: "They—"

"I'll be back in a while." Hal comforted, hiding his worries. Unexpectedly, at the same time as his words fell, there was a soft sound at the entrance of the cave, and when he turned his head, he saw Ah Liu rushing through the water with the silver-haired orc on his back. When it landed, the non-orc's knees softened, and he lost his balance and fell to the side. Hal rushed over immediately, holding the non-orc's shoulders to prevent the two of them from falling to the ground together.

"Thank you." Ah Liu took a deep breath to calm down, and said lightly. Along the way, Cedric's blood stained both of them again. Ah Liu carried the orc on his back to the innermost pool of the cave, tore off the sleeves of his coat, soaked them in the water, and carefully wiped Cedric's wounds clean. His fingers brushed half of the orc's body. The orc's ribs were almost broken, and his arms were twisted at unnatural angles. Ah Liu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but relax his movements. Wipe the orc's wound clean, apply herbal medicine, and carefully wash off the dried blood on the silver hair. Then he jumped into the pool, cleaned up the wounds on his body, and washed off the dried blood by the way. After dealing with all these things and climbing up from the pool, his stomach groaned loudly.

Ah Liu paused, frowned, and was so focused on running for his life that he forgot to bring some food back.

"I'm going hunting." Hal looked at the non-orc man and said, he gave John a reassuring look, turned around and jumped out of the cave. John watched his partner disappear, looked back at Ah Liu dealing with the orc's wound, smiled lightly, but suddenly coughed violently, he covered his mouth tightly with his hand to prevent a drop of blood from falling to the ground. After an unknown amount of time, the cough finally stopped, and he regained his breathing. Looking at the blood on his hands, John gave a wry smile, and carefully wiped his hands clean. Suddenly a pair of feet stood in front of him, the orc froze for a moment and looked up, seeing Ah Liu who was holding a kettle in his hand.

"Thank you." John took a sip of the water and asked suddenly, "Do you like him?"

"..." Ah Liu frowned and looked at him, silent.

John and him looked at each other for a moment, then laughed softly, and continued as if talking to himself: "If you like it, you must hurry up, otherwise you don't know when you lose it... Just like me, I don't know if I can live to the second The tenth district!" The orc said, and handed the empty water bottle to the non-orc again.

Ah Liu took it in silence, and was about to turn around to leave when he suddenly heard the orc's voice behind him again.

"Do me a favor!" John coughed twice, and said with difficulty with a smile, "If... I mean, if I die, let him live." The bonfire flickered, and the orc's expression seemed unusually gentle.

"...Okay." In the light of the fire, Ah Liu looked at him silently for a while, then nodded.

He walked back to Cedric, refilled the jug, pried open the orc's lips and fed the water into his mouth little by little. Unknowingly, his hands slid down the smooth hair to the orc's pale cheeks. Cedric closed his eyes at this moment, losing the oppression of those dark blue eyes, Ah Liu realized that his face outline was so similar to Cecil's. . He stretched out his hand and lifted the orc's jaw so that he could look at the face at a level. His fingers brushed the other's thin lips tightly pressed together because of the pain. His black eyes were slightly deep, with a trace of confusion and hesitation.

do you like it…

During the long stare, the atmosphere seemed to be tainted with a little tenderness.

John turned his head to catch a glimpse of this scene, and suddenly breathed lightly involuntarily.

"Bang!" A strong prey was thrown into the cave, Ah Liu's eyes flashed and he let go, and got up and walked to the campfire as if nothing had happened. Hal looked suspiciously at the two silent people in the cave, only to receive an inexplicable stare from his partner. Hal couldn't understand it, so he shrugged and started to deal with the prey.

After eating, the four of them rested against the stone wall after a tiring day. In the silence, time passed, and I don't know when they all fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Ah Liu opened his eyes amidst the warmth, to be exact, it was a little too warm. The non-beast man opened his eyes tiredly, the black eyes flashed with confusion, and then returned to the usual clarity. The bonfire went out at some point, and in the darkness, a magnified face was close at hand, and he frowned reflexively backed away, but couldn't move. Ah Liu immediately realized that he was leaning against Cedric's arms, and the latter's hands were tightly wrapped around his waist. The intense heat that woke him up from his dream came from that body. Looking up, under the silver hair, the orc's cheeks were flushed, but otherwise it was gray and white. His heart sank and he got up suddenly, stretched out his hand to touch the forehead of the orc, and the temperature like a fire spread to the palm of his hand, obviously burning badly. Ah Liu couldn't help frowning, and removed the cloth strips from the orc's wound. The wound turned slightly white and healed slowly. Seeing that there was no sign of inflammation, Ah Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Cedric was seriously injured. He had been soaked in the water for so long, and he hadn't eaten anything until now. He was already in good health just because he got sick.

The non-orc broke free from Cedric's embrace and got up lightly, without waking up the two sleeping orcs not far away. He tore off all the clothes on the two except for some special parts of the cloth, broke them into small pieces, soaked them in the cool water of the cave, and applied them to the orcs' foreheads to cool down. A bonfire was raised next to the orcs to try to dispel the cold and humidity. Probably because of the cold, Cedric couldn't help but move closer to the bonfire. Seeing that the flames were about to burn his silver hair, Ah Liu stretched out his hand expressionlessly and pulled him back to his side.

Seemingly re-aware of the familiar warmth, Cedric suddenly turned around and hugged Ah Liu without warning, and buried his head deeply in the non-orc's chest. The latter's body froze for a moment, but he didn't push the orc away. A few minutes later, Ah Liu slowly and hesitantly stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the body. Cedric had a familiar smell of blood lingering in his nose, and his silver hair was intertwined with black hair. Ah Liu couldn't help but took a deep breath, relaxed his body and closed his eyes.

do you like it? Thinking of this word, his eyelashes trembled slightly.

In the flickering light of the fire, the shadows of the two clinging to each other were projected on the stone wall, as if they had merged into one.
