After seeing that his wound has completely healed. The sun outside has finally started to rise.  Xinn removed Alonzo's cold arms around his waist and slowly stood up to exit the cave.  

He summoned some white tank top from his space, brown short pants and one white brief. He exited the cave and roamed his eyes around.  He could only see towering trees though, and through the gaps of the tree canopies, sunlight peeked through. The cave was located on a small cliff.  Xinn took a look above but saw nothing.  He then faced the east and started striding forward.

A few munites later, Xinn found a small creek. He dropped his things at the bank of the creek and slowly undressed. He was feeling really sticky these days as he has not yet taken a bath. The water in the creek was clear and is flowing gently.  It was slightly cool and refreshing, when the cool water brushed through his body, Xinn subconsciously sighed in comfort.  

Xinn washed his face and slowly went back to the edge of the bank to start wiping his body with soap . The creek was gradually filled with bubbles as the sweet scent of green apple soap diffuse to the air. 

Xinn massaged his scalp with shampoo and started singing some songs he could remember from peaceful days . 

While Xinn was leisurely taking a bath . Alonzo was already panicking in his cave when he woke up with Xinn's presence's absence.  

Alonzo panicked and immediately ran out of the cave and transformed into his python form.  He stick out his forked tongue and tasted the scent Xinn left behind . He followed the scent and ended up in the creek . But the scent gradually disappeared replaced by a sweet green apple scented fragrance . 

Alonzo heard a gentle and cheerful voice ringing throughout the surroundings as the chirping of the birds, noises of the crickets and the flowing sound of the water in the creek serving as the background music. Alonzo paused his movements and stared at the naked figure currently taking a bath in the small creek.

He was supposed to blush in shame seeing a naked female's body. However, he was disturbed when he saw several scars upon the back of his female . Alonzo was shocked to discover this . What happened to Xinn before in that beautiful world.

How did he get those scars? 

Alonzo immediately transformed back to his human form and stepped out of the bushes. Xinn washed his hair and said . " Do you want to wash up? You can use my soap there, it smells good, you should try it . " 

Alonzo stared at his female's body and frowned . " How did you get those scars? " 

Xinn paused and slowly submerge his face on the creek before standing up. He wiped his wet face and faced Alonzo standing at the bank of the creek.  He looked up to him and chuckled . 

" These were the wounds I gained from fighting monsters in my world . Thankfully, because of my unique physique, I was not infected by the virus , but I was reluctant on healing the wounds because I felt it would make me look manlier.  " 

During the apocalypse , Xinn hadn't had the time to cut his hair because he was busy surviving and because of that, people mistook him for a woman because he was slender and thin, although he was tall and handsome , once a handsome man possess a long hair, it is inevitable that he would be mistaken as a woman . 

Xinn's pride was hurt by then and stubbornly refused to heal his wounds and instead left them as a sign of his masculinity.  

He was childish back then and he thought, ' with these scars, it would make me look more like a veteran hunter who gained beast scars as marks.' 

Of course, that's a stupid mentality. Up until now, he still left the scars unattended and just let it stay stuck on his body. Whenever people look at his bod, they would grimace about his hardships and strength for surviving such ordeal. 

" You don't have to do that you know ." 

Xinn turned to his back and stretch his arm to his back, reaching his spine.  The scene of the female reaching his bare back in front of him made Alonzo to realize that the part behind the scale in his lower half is about to stand up.  

He immediately dived into the water to cover up his bulging scale covering his private part.  What if Xinn noticed that ? 

Xinn looked at Alonzo who was dipping his head into the water. He immediately swam to his side and caught his wrist . 

Alonzo flinched and immediately turn his back to him . Xinn swam towards Alonzo's front and chuckled.  

" Why? Are you shy? " 

Alonzo nodded . " Hmm " 

Xinn smiled mischevously and suddenly brushed his skin against Alonzo's cold skin.  Alonzo trembled and suddenly, a mysterious red creeped into the back of his ears. Xinn obviously noticed it and suddenly touched Alonzo's bicep.  

Alonzo removed the palm covering his red face and gulped, his Adams apple moving up and down . His hoarse voice slowly resounded.  " Xinn , stop teasing me . " 

Xinn tilted his head to the side.  " Why? You're my boyfriend , it doesn't matter to me.  " 

Alonzo's face immediately turned into a tomato hearing such bold and frank words from the female's mouth.  

" I might lose my restraint you know . " 

Xinn hummed then answered.  " Heh~ that would be really bad if you lose it, so from now on, learn to strengthen your restraint until your sexual maturity.  " 

Alonzo's eyes followed Xinn's body who was swimming mischevously around him.  The water in the creek which was previously covered with soap has now slowly returned back to being clear , letting him see the bare legs under the water. Alonzo's throat bubbled up and down and felt the heat between his leg. 

He immediately swam away to fetch the soap. Xinn followed him then took the soap from Alonzo's hands.

" Let me " Xinn 

Alonzo arc up his brows in confusion, then watched Xinn as bubbles appeared on his hands as Xinn rubbed the soap. Before he could even react, Xinn was already rubbing his body without any notice.  

Alonzo's body immediately stiffened in surprise and stared at Xinn as he touched his body . Xinn moved his slender hands unto his collar rubbing it up and down , sometimes in a circular motion and sometimes putting force on his fingertips.

Alonzo was motionless as Xinn harrassed his body. Like an obedient boyfriend to his mischevous bully lover. Alonzo's eyes were hot and full of restrained beastly desire, cold and at the same time melting causing Xinn to feel that the air pressure in the surroundings has thickened . 

Xinn felt molested by Alonzo's burning gaze.

" Y-you ... " 

Alonzo immediately turned his head to the side and spoke with his hoarse voice. " Are you done? " 

" Nope " 

Alonzo took a deep breathe then nodded.  " Ok , continue " 

Xinn touched his beating heart and couldn't help straightening his twitching lips which were on the verge of forming an excited smile.

So cute ... He thought.  

Xinn was not done yet and gently pulled Alonzo's hand to the bank . Alonzo silently followed him with his sharp eyes locking on the female's back with burning, lustful gaze.  

Xinn touched his feet on a smooth boulder underwater. He slowly pushed Alonzo's shoulder and let him sit on the boulder. Alonzo sat down and his head lowered down to Xinn's chest level. 

Alonzo suddenly extended his hand and touched Xinn's spotless chest. Xinn who was currently squeezing out a shampoo liquid to his palm suddenly paused and looked at Alonzo who was staring at his chest.

Xinn looked down then blinked . 

" Why did your wound disappear? " 

Xinn closed the lid on the shampoo bottle and rubbed his palm before responding." The monster that I hunted in my previous world has a core located in their brains, and they have the effect of healing. The speed is quiet fast and instant, but nucleus are rare so I didn't dare use it. " 

Alonzo rubbed the part where the wound was located before and pinched the skin. It is flawless, and there's no scars that were left behind.  

Xinn blushed then slowly extended his hand to pat Alonzo's head and slowly rubbed it as bubbles start to appear.  

Alonzo stared at Xinn's focused expression and suddenly smiled. He closed his eyes and savored the comfort of Xinn's hands massaging his head. 

A few munites later, Xinn poured some water over his head. Xinn pulled a strand of Alonzo's hair and sniffed it.  " It smells good. " 

Alonzo touched his own hair and buried his nose into it. Alonzo looked back to Xinn's face and raised the corner of his lips. " I smell like Xinn.  " 

Xinn chuckled.  " It's because we're using the same type of soap.  I have two soaps here, you can use the other one if you want to take a bath. " 

Alonzo smiled and said.  " Ok " he narrowed his eyes and stopped himself from pushing Xinn down underwater to kiss his lips.  

Suffocate him then give him air mouth to mouth.  His predecessors often do that to their females to flirt with their females. However, most of the time, females would end up angry to them after they step out of the water. 

Alonzo suddenly asked.  " Xinn, what do lovers do? " 

Xinn paused then blinked his eyes. He thought of the adviced and stories that he often hear from his friends in his previous world then leaned on the edge of the bank as he started recounting.  

" As far as I could remember, my friends often date their girlfriends by shopping on the mall . Eating in a restaurant, playing in the amusement park, traveling, showing affection, watching movie, talking etc. They do things they want to do to develop their feelings for each other. " 

" One thing that my friends talk the most is about trust and care. " 

" My friend also said that his girlfriend always ask him wether she looks nice or good.  As a boyfriend, he would honestly say how she appears in his eyes.  " 

" He would compliment him, support her and even take good care of her when she's sick.  " 

Xinn started talking about what his friends do to their lovers and Alonzo listened carefully noting all of his words within his mind. He has long learned that a woman's pronoun is a she so he wasn't confused what 'she' is . 

" But there's no mall in this world ... There's also no restaurant, or arcades that you are taking about.  ", 

Xinn waved his hands. " Well, it doesn't matter for me. As long as we're honest to each other and not hurt each other. " 

Alonzo nodded gently then held Xinn's hands.  " You said that lovers hold their hands like this? " 

Alonzo intertwined their hands, he then slowly raised it and kissed every fingers on his hand.  

Xinn's head immediately start emitting vapors from bashfulness .  

What is happening with his simple man!! Why did he suddenly become a romanticist! 

Alonzo narrowed his eyes like an incubus seducing a victim . " You said that boyfriends pamper and shower their lowers with affections?" 

Xinn nodded and watched as Alonzo moved his lips from his knuckles to his wrist.  Alonzo's cold lips dropped like a touch of a dragonfly causing Xinn's heart to feel itchy. 

" Tell me anything you want me to do ... I will gladly do it with you.  " Alonzo pulled Xinn into his embrace and whispered to his ear . 

Xinn rested his head on Alonzo's chest and hummed in agreement. " I will ... "
