"Rory, it's... It's not that!"
Yuel caught Rory's wandering hands as they roamed across him.
His Adam's apple bobbed several times heavily before he managed to steady his breathing. Only then did he speak again.
"Rory, I want to bond with you too… very much. But… today isn't possible."
"Why?"
Pinned gently against the bed, her wrists restrained above her head by his hands, Rory stared up at him with puzzled eyes.
Was this the kind of thing that required choosing an auspicious day?
Yuel took a slow breath and leaned close, his voice lowering near her ear.
"Today is the day I bloom. If we bond today, you'll bear fruit. And once there is fruit, until it ripens… we won't be able to…"
That was exactly why Yuel didn't want children right now. For plant-type ability users like him, things were different from beast-type ability users.
In certain matters, there was simply no way to take precautions.
