In This Rebirth, The Male Lead Is Mine [BL]

Rise did not know how long he fell asleep; he also did not dream of anything.

His eyes snapped open; he instantly remembered everything as soon as his consciousness returned and he woke up. Sitting up and ignoring the slight dizziness from immediately moving intensely after a deep sleep, Rise’s mind promptly looks for Kamille.

He did not have to look for long, as his gaze immediately found Kamille.

Kamille was leaning on the wall, his eyes closed, and Rise also finally realized that he was using the other’s lap as his pillow. Sensing his movements, Kamille’s eyes slowly opened and met his.

”You’re awake?” Kamille’s voice sounded hoarse, his face also appeared pale.

Rise instantly became worried and touched Kamille’s face, and his eyes instantly widened as soon as his hand touched the skin.

”You’re so hot! You have a fever?” He exclaimed, asking a dumb question when it was clearly the other was running a fever.

It was just that if things that concerned Kamille, Rise could not help but feel panic.

Kamille’s gaze was also not as bright, but he still had a composed expression.

”How are you feeling?” Instead of worrying about himself, Kamille seemed more worried about Rise’s condition.

Rise bit his lips, feeling quite guilty.

”You have a fever, Guild Leader.” Rise repeated, clear this time.

”Hm, I know. But are you okay?”

Rise exhaled, Kamille was more concerned about his condition could make him giddy at times, but that was when if the other was not the one in the bad condition!

”I’m okay, Guild Leader.” Rise decided to answer; otherwise, Kamille might repeatedly ask him about it. ”But you, Guild Leader, you’re not fine.”

Rise had never experienced Kamille being sick before, although he saw him injured but actually having a fever? That was new, so he felt a sudden panic at first, but he quickly calmed himself.

He touched Kamille’s face, cupping it with his hands. Kamille’s skin was scalding hot, clearly, this was not a normal fever.

”Guild Leader... How long did you swim after I fainted?”

Rise did not conceal his worry in his eyes and let Kamille’s gaze catch in it. He slowly activated his wavelength, letting it interact with Kamille’s and guide him.

The familiar warm feeling spread through both of their bodies. However, unlike the first two times, they did not immediately let their instincts succumb to its pleasure.

Kamille closed his eyes, seemingly savoring the sensation. While his back leaned on the wall, his head lowered slightly, touching Rise’s shoulder, and he leaned on them.

”I don’t know,” Kamille answered, low and sounded lethargic.

”You don’t know?”

Kamille nodded.

”Did you swim for a long time after I fainted?” Rise inquired softly. Instead of touching and cupping Kamille’s face, he was now embracing him, his hands on Kamille’s back, stroking softly.

Kamille did not answer for a while that Rise thought he had already fallen asleep, but his deep and lazy voice sounded again.

”I guess so,” Kamille’s voice was a bit muffled as he nestled at the crook of Rise’s neck. He sounded disoriented even.

Rise closed his eyes, suddenly feeling the pain as well. Although Kamille did not seem to have any injury aside from fever, Rise had not seen him this exhausted before.

Recalling his terrible experience underwater when he wanted to swim and suddenly being lost to it. Rise felt a lingering fear, it was more than just an endurance test, which he nearly succumbed to it without Kamille’s help.

What was more for Kamille, and he was even holding him along the way. What was he thinking at that time? How... Did he endure it?

Rise had put Kamille on the pedestal, but he never forgot that Kamille was still a human, he still had his raw emotions. He could feel the same fear and get nervous like normal people.

He was not a deity, completely detached and emotionless to human emotion.

Rise could testify that the journey was extremely unpleasant, he never wanted to experience it again.

”It wasn’t hard.” Kamille suddenly spoke, snapping Rise from his reverie and guilt. ”It was boring and dull, but I experienced the worst. And I always survived.”

Kamille was comforting him; Rise did not need to think too much. His head also lowered, the corners of his eyes heating up, until moistness began to appear.

When it came to Kamille, Rise was always vulnerable. He seemed to also feel the same pain, if not more. He loves him so much, it always hurts.

”I... I’m sorry.” Rise hated the fact that he was the one who suggested to come here. He again opened Kamille’s wounds.

An endless darkness without anyone to talk to, Rise had put Kamille in that situation. For what? For his selfishness.

”Are you crying?” Kamille looked up slightly, his gaze meeting Rise’s hazy gaze, now full of tears. He then smiled, ”So you are.”

For some reason, Rise finally could not help it and sobbed. His tears began to uncontrollably fall, and he embraced Kamille tightly. His tears soaked Kamille’s face.

”You’re crying, but you never stopped guiding me,” Kamille whispered. Their position suddenly changed, and Rise was now nestling at his chest as he coaxed the other to stop crying.

Rise’s instincts and muscle memory when guiding Kamille had been honed for years, so even with the most intense battlefield, he could still guide him.

And it seemed, even when battling his emotions, Rise could do the same.

Kamille slowly kissed Rise’s temple and brushed his hair.

Rise was an enigma. He was interesting, but at the same time he was suspicious. Kamille had never once let anyone with ulterior motives be with him, but with Rise, he made an exception.

The reason? He always feels the sincerity. Just like this time. Rise continued to guide him as if it were already engraved in his soul.

Kamille could not fathom why this was the case. How Rise was so attached to him?

He was still suspicious, but... Kamille did not mind.

For now, as long as he was sincere, Rise could stay by his side.
