【Angel Night】Shrub

Chapter 9

The young woman confides some troubles again, and Kurt listens quietly, enlightening her appropriately.

"I want to go home and ask him face to face. Suspicion is a great enemy of feelings." Her mood gradually calmed down, "Thank you, Father."

Kurt replied with words of blessing and watched her leave. He stayed in the confession room and refused to go out for a long time.

Believers who often come to this church know that the new priest after the old Father Wagner was hospitalized is a mutant, but he is not very used to appearing in front of people.In the past few years, due to the efforts of Xavier Academy, mutants and ordinary people, the relationship between mutants and ordinary people has become less tense, but a few years ago, it was indeed the same situation, especially mutants who were alone, who wanted to start from ordinary people. Getting out unscathed among people is not easy.Everyone understands his friendly behavior, but really he just likes being here.Few people know the view from the room, the huge cross was in front of his eyes, and he began to pray.

The elopement was too young and rash, and things began to inevitably go downhill.

After that incident, Kurt began to take Warren home from get off work every day. There were no people on the street in the early morning, only a group of drunks at most. He could go straight to the street without any disguise. Night is his most natural protective color, and no one can That's when it hurt him.Then he waited quietly under the tree across the road from the nightclub, Warren walked out of the store, and then they could hang out hand in hand and go back to their growing home together. It was so simple, it should have been It's that simple.

But Kurt still underestimated Warren's appeal.They are much better than when they first arrived in France. They all learned some simple French. At least daily communication is no longer a problem. Warren even learned a lot of swear words, which made him more popular.The teenager is in the prime of his life. He lied about his age and said that he is an adult, but in fact it is far from enough.With a guilty conscience and patience for life, some guests who coveted him clung to him like tarsal maggots.Most of them are female customers, who always try to take advantage of the opportunity. Kurt also bumped into those regular customers outside the store to pester Warren several times, but Warren broke free. He could only pretend that he didn't see or hear anything. It didn't happen, and Warren and Warren kept quiet about it and continued to live in peace.

It was their first Christmas Eve in France, and the store owner promised Warren to get home early from work. Kurt forgot about the potatoes and cauliflower for a moment, and bought a whole turkey and stuffed it with various Spices and baking sauces, and with Warren they planted a tiny Christmas tree in their basement.He timed Warren back, stuffed the turkey in the oven, and picked Warren home as usual.

The winter came early that year, and the chill engulfed him, and he planned to walk home with Warren when he got off work, and the turkey would be almost done by then, after they said simple prayers around dinner , you can enjoy a freshly baked meal.Kurt couldn't help speeding up his pace. Although it wasn't like the usual early morning hours, there were no people on the streets. People tended to stay at home and share dinner with their families these days, rather than spending time aimlessly outside .

He came a little earlier than usual, and waited quietly under the usual tree, blindly thinking that Warren would always see him first.Today, the shop was also decorated according to the occasion. A huge Christmas tree was decorated at the entrance, covered with candy wrappers and ribbons. Kurt felt that the interior of the shop should be as well decorated as the outside. He had never been inside, but was just waiting outside. .

The word waiting took up so much of his life that, in fact, he seemed to be waiting all the time during his time with Warren.Kurt stared at the Christmas tree fascinated, and counted how many gift boxes were hidden on it. At this time, someone slammed out from the door and pulled the bell hanging on the door to make a loud noise. Kurt was frightened. With a jump, he reflexively teleported to the Christmas tree he had been staring at just now.

Then he saw images he'd been trying to forget all his life.

A woman, wearing extremely thin high-heeled shoes and wearing beautiful fur, pushed a waiter out of the door, which was the reason for the loud noise just now.She didn't care about these, and directly pressed the waiter against the wall and continued to kiss.The man restrained by her seemed to want to break free, and then the woman took out a stack of banknotes from her bag and stuffed it into the hand of his waiter. Put it in the pants pocket.

Kurt stared blankly, and it took a long time to find his voice: "Warren?"

Warren quickly pushed the customer away. He was still wearing the store uniform, the black tie on the cheap shirt was twisted in the entanglement of flesh, and there were women's bright red lips on his face and lips. Warren snapped Wiping these traces and walking towards Kurt: "Listen, this is not the case..."

"You," Kurt shook his head in confusion as he backed away. He thought for a long time what he wanted to ask, and finally only this sentence came out of his mouth, "You took her money?"

"Oh God, a mutant! Protect me, Warren!" The guest was shocked to see Kurt's blue skin and his appearance, which was obviously different from ordinary people, and grabbed Warren's clothes tightly.

"Damn it, let me go!" Warren cursed in a low voice, trying to get out of the chaos. He was too busy flirting with the woman, and was afraid of really hurting her, so he could only turn his head eagerly and tried to talk to him. explain.

"Yes, I took her money, but, Kurt, it's not what you think..."

"You took her money?" Kurt's back hit the pine tree, and the music of Christmas carols came from the window not far away. His eyes were wide open, as if he knew this world for the first time, and even more so. It was like meeting Warren for the first time.

"It was just an accident, Kurt, I didn't do what you were thinking!" Warren roared, and the woman took a step back in fright. She had never seen such a terrifying look on Warren.She woke up from her initial shock at seeing Kurt and finally realized what was going on.

"God, this is crazy." Her affection for Warren turned to simple disgust at this moment. What normal person wouldn't react like that when he found out that the object of his crush was mixed with mutants?

"Look at what we've done, Warren." Kurt's expression didn't change much, and his tone was very calm, "You shouldn't have left the house in the first place."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared in the steaming purple mist, and Warren stood in the choking smoke, his heart shattered.

None of them thought that this time apart would be a farewell. ???
