"Your hair is getting longer" Laras said as he dried Lion's hair with a towel.
While the man sitting on the tile was just smiling, enjoying a swipe at the head. After a while, Lion's face lifted. Staring at the woman who stopped immediately.
"I didn't have time to shave" he said briefly.
This time it was the smiling Baras. However, something was bothering him. The Lion's left hand is not moved. Had something happened, he really wanted to ask her.
Until when Lion's hair was a little dry, Laras decided to sit down. Her lips were bitten as if there was something she wanted to say but got stuck in her throat.
Seeing the lover just silent, Lion suddenly embraces Laras shoulder. Positioning the woman's head to lean against her chest.
"What are you thinking, hm?" ask the man.
Laras immediately turned his head, looking at the bead of the man's eyes which now looked more lit. "I was just thinking about the reason why you couldn't come right away. Did something happen after you woke up?"
For a moment Lion was seen taking a deep breath. He flinch for a moment. A look in the eye said something was happening. But he doubted whether Laras would be okay when he heard it?
"Something's going on, right?" laras asked after realizing that Lion could not say anything. "It doesn't matter if you can't tell it" the woman said sincerely. Then back to leaning his head on the man beside him.
Lion did not answer. It's true, something difficult to say has happened. Deciding to go back to see Laras was also a big decision that he took after the chaos befell him.
But after a long time of weighing, Lion finally made a sound. He took a breath before starting to tell a story. "Many things happened. I can't go back to Fantasiana anymore" said the man. Sadness is very noticeable even if only in the voice.
The barrel that was still resting its head on Lion's chest immediately embraced the body of the man who felt increasingly thin. He did not want to chim in, letting the lover say everything comfortably.
"I was cast out of Fantasiana."
This time Laras turned his head after a long pause. Lion's eye pellets look dewy. If true, there is a huge wound behind the last one sentence thrown out.
"Is that what makes you reluctant to see me?"
Lion shook his head slowly. "The reason I didn't see you right away is because I wasn't confident."
Rebut both eyebrows Laras fused. Questioning what Lion's words mean.
But a long strand came out of the lips of Lion. "You know why I was taken down from the throne and cast out of Fantasiana?" Laras. In the next second the man continued. "I'm disabled. Poison is ruining my left hand." His voice was trembling, painful even when he heard it.
Also feeling the sadness, Laras increasingly tightened the embrace. He knows, it is not easy for Lion to tell and bring up things like that.
"And it makes me not confident to meet you, Laras. How could I come up with such an imperfect state? So I'm thinking of forgetting you."
Hearing that suddenly Laras' heart ached. It's like someone pinched a blood clot in there.
"Have you managed to do it?"
Suddenly Lion shook his head. "where possible. The more I try to forget, the more clearly your shadow becomes."
The warm embrace of Laras is now changing into a spoiled bobble. He was very happy to hear it from Lion. "So you decided to see me?"
A steady nod is given. "Even if I only wanted to see you from afar. But when I saw you crying like that while calling my name, it felt like I was almost crazy to hold back from hugging you."
Instantly the face of the Red barrel blushed. Although this woman tried to deny by immediately breaking the embrace. His lips are forward, a sign that he is upset.
"But you're still evil, Lion. If I hadn't run into the woods, would that mean you wouldn't have met me?" The woman sulks.
Looking at Laras' face, instead of feeling guilty Lion just so anxious. He smiled, hugged the woman beside him and gave a sweet kiss on the forehead. "You really are a witch, Baras."
The days are back for Laras. He who was reluctant to welcome the morning, in fact now wants to rush up and look at the handsome face of the man who is still asleep.
If possible, Baras refused to close his eyes. What if he wakes up and Lion disappears from his sight. Loving someone brings a lot of fear.
When Laras was still staring at Lion's handsome face, the man suddenly woke up. Not quite surprised, but embarrassed because every morning Laras do the same thing.
"You still staring at me?" asked Lion in a hoarse voice.
With a smile expanding Laras nodded. "I'm afraid this is just a dream."
Lion who was still lying down immediately woke up. He pulled Laras to sit on his lap. Suddenly a kiss landed on the woman's lips. "I'm no longer part of your dream" he said, confirming the Laras haircut that came out from between the ears.
After a while, the two stared at each other. A look full of longing and love mixed in one line. Slowly Lion's gaze turned on Laras' lips, and a kiss became a pleasant breakfast for them.
Not enough until there, Laras also felt there was a great flowing turmoil. He returned the kiss that Lion gave. Until what was just the beginning of the kiss is now starting to heat up.
Unfortunately, when they start intimacy, a loud voice outside is forced to stop them.
Baras was silent, as well as Lion who breathed a rude sign of annoyance. While outside, the door banging increasingly sounded loud with a shout.
"Clearned! You're in there?" A familiar voice made Laras only able to sigh. "Clearned!"
"Kinan! Why would he do this to me?" mumbled Laras full of annoyance. Although in the end he still came out with a folded face.
Door opened. A woman carrying a food basket stood up with a cheerful smile.
"I heard Lion is back?" ask Kinan enthusiastically. While Laras just nodded his head. "Well! How could? Isn't this a miracle?"
Again Laras just nodded. It was not that he was unhappy, it was just that Kinan had come at an inopportune moment.
"I brought you bread. Want to eat together?" But Kinan could not seem to read the annoyance on his best friend's face.
Rather than refuse, Laras decided to agree to Kinan's invitation. He has not thought about the breakfast menu either.
"But by the way, can Lion eat bread alone? You need to prepare meat for him" Kinan said as he prepared the dinner table.
"No problem. He was used to eating human food" Laras replied.
"really?"
"Of course." Suddenly Lion came out with wet hair. "Maybe another wolf would be troubled if it ate that. But for a half-human wolf like me, it feels like my stomach can adjust."
Hearing him made Kinan's eyebrows fuse together. After a while, his eyes were rounded. "You mean half that man-?"
Laras chuckled and nodded. "His father is a man."
"Really?"

While deep in the woods. A man with the crown of the king sat on the throne listening to the report of his newly returned subordinates.
Instantly his lips lifted a smile. "So Aira went back to that human?"
