Chapter 60: 60 - Side Effects?

"Are you feeling better now?" Ren asked softly, rubbing Fang's back with gentle fingers once the younger man was finally done crying.

Fang gave him a bitter smile. "I'm sorry, I should be the one who should ask you that...I'm so useless."

Ren pulled him closer and kissed his brow. "Don't day that, my little darling. You're the most amazing person I know."

Fang was silent for a moment. Then, in a clear attempt to divert the conversation into another direction, he muttered, "I'm almost as tall as you now."

Ren let him shift the topic away and smiled indulgently. "When you're taller than me, should I call you my big darling?" he asked teasingly.

"Maybe I'll call you my little love instead," Fang murmured.

"I'll look forward to that," Ren said, kissing his boyfriend's cheek again.

Fang flushed.

The boy was just too adorable, Ren thought.
