39 Chapter 37 - An Icy Cute Encounter

Sky'S house, living room... "Chris, I've contacted Seito, he should be on his way back right now." "Which means he will reach here tomorrow morning... Hmm? I just saw a tiny sparkle in the bushes there." "There is? I don't really see anything." "I will go check it out." Chris stands up and went out through the side door followed by Sky. After a few minutes of searching, they found the source of the sparkle. It's a palm size crystal-like crystal that known as 'Icy-eye'. The duo look at the tiny little creature with a slightly confused look, while the icy-eye immediately spotted them and tried to run but ended up clumsily knocking into everywhere...

"Chris, I have to say that this is actually a bit cute." "Yes, but why is it here alone? Normally this thing works in a big batch. And this little guy here looks a bit different." "Yes, due to the influence of the spell set by the Gospeler, those Icy-eyes are supposed to be extremely aggressive and will react and attack any other living being, but this one looks a bit docile. Could it be just a coward that is rejected by the group?" "I don't think so." Said Chris with a slightly annoyed tone. Chris slowly approaches the small creature and try not to scare it. Then Chris looks at it for a few seconds then he found the problem.

"There's a small crack on its shell." "Hmm, indeed, but with this crack, it will probably lose its temperature." "That's why it's alone and left out by the group...At this rate, it will continue to lose its coldness and eventually melt down." Said Chris while starts wearing a pair of gloves. "Ehmm... Chris? What are you trying to do? You don't mean to keep it right?" "Yes, I heard that this little fellow has the cutest eye, and will only show out when it has trusted to an individual. Rare opportunity..." Chris slowly getting really near to the little creature and try to reach his hands to it. "Wait! Chris, even with the gloves it will still be very cold, remember it could freeze an Elephant with just a single touch ." "Don't worry, with that crack, it shouldn't be as cold as usual... Most importantly, we can't leave it here either, someone else might touch it and get hurt accidentally." Chris slowly reached his hand to the Icy-eye and pick it up gently, as a defensive move, the icy-eye glows with blue light and start freezing Chris's hands, some cold vapor can be seen leaking out from the cracks. In order to calm it down, Chris stroke it softly despite of the cold and his hands are shaking due to the intense coldness. Sky handed over a cold resistance container with tiny holes and Chris slowly put the creature in trying not scaring the little fellow. Sky removes the gloves which are totally frozen and reveals Chris's hands which start to get a bit blue at the fingertips. He rubbed Chris's hands try to warm it up with his own body temperature...

*this is not a BL

Meanwhile, Itsuki's house ... Itsuki is in the dining room, staring into the air without touching his dinner. Suddenly, his right turns red for about 3 seconds and his new butler Jason noticed. "Itsuki - sama, are you alright?" "Yes, why?" "For a second I thought I saw your eye turns red." "Probably just your imagination." "Is that so?" ...

8 pm, Chris's room... "So, what are you going to do with this little guy?" "Hmm..." Chris try to reach his hand to the Icy-eye and stopped by Sky. "Don't you dare try to touch it again!" "Don't worry, I just want to heal it." Chris placed his hand near the little creature and it glows with white light, the cracks slowly disappeared. "There we have it... You should be able to get back to your batch with this condition." After Chris heal it, the icy-eye seems to be more friendly to Chris, it starts opening up its crystal shell but by bit and reveals its big and bright core which people call it as eye, unlike the outer shell, the core is a bit warmer and somewhat fluffy... The duos are a bit surprised by this sight. "Ah... Kawaii...." said both...
