DISCLAIMER: DO NOT REUPLOAD MY STORIES! I regularly reverse search all my stories and when I find just a single one reuploaded somewhere else, specifically Wattpad, I will file DMCA takedowns and hunt down the original authors of any other work that is reuploaded on the same profile or site, then I notify those other authors who have had their work blatantly stolen. I don't go beyond filing the DMCA takedowns, but other authors may not be as kind. Entire accounts have been shut down this way, so don't steal shit. Write it yourself.

If you haven't read Giving The Talk yet, you should do that before reading this sequel. Some things might not make sense at all otherwise.

I don't own Letter Bee or any of its characters. Both belongs to Asada Hiroyuki.

Prologue
– Cool Grey –

"How is he?"

"He is still unconscious, but he will wake up soon." Doctor Thunderland was checking the fever thermometer that previously had been inside of Lag's mouth as he said this. "How is your arm?" He focused his one-eyed gaze on the raven-haired Letter Bee before him.

Zazie absent-mindedly stroked his bandaged arm as he kept his eyes on the unconscious boy on the table in front of him. "It's fine, just stinging a little."

Only a small hum in response was heard coming from the doctor as he averted his attention to his newest patient again. Suddenly, a frown curled his lips. There was something about Lag he was staring at with distate, but Zazie couldn't tell what exactly it was that was agitating the man.

"Is… something wrong, doctor?" the raven-haired teen asked, slight worry mingling into his words.

Doctor Thunderland closed his eyes as he turned around, raising one hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. "Something has been worrying me for a while now. It concerns Seeing's health."

"What is it?" the teen immediately inquired.

Dropping his hand, the doctor stared out of a window for a while, before turning back around again. He gave Zazie a hard stare, as if trying to see the answer to his musings within those brown eyes. "You need to tell me exactly how that was caused, otherwise, I won't be able to help Seeing."

Zazie was growing impatient, a scowl plastering itself on his concerned face. "And what is that?"

"I'd like to know…" The doctor reached out to remove Lag's scarf exposing his neck, "where this bite mark comes from." He watched the teen on the other side of the table flinch and his eyes widen, while the hint of a blush bloomed on his face.

"Tha… He… I don't know!"

A heavy sigh left the doctor. "You need to tell me, or else it could affect the way I treat Seeing. Do you want me to treat him the wrong way, simply because you are hiding something from me?"

This caused Zazie to think it over again, a pout now apparent on his face. "Fine."

Unconsciously, Doctor Thunderland leaned forward a little in anticipation.

"I…" Without noticing it, the teen began to rub his neck wrapped in his scarf. "I… I… bit him."

The corners of the doctor's lips curled upwards indiscernibly. "Why would you do that?"

Now the blush on Zazie's face began to become darker and darker. "B-Because… Well…" His neck-rubbing became more frantic and fidgety.

Noticing this, Doctor Thunderland approached the stuttering Letter Bee, rounding the table until he was beside Zazie.

"I never– Hey!" It was too late for Zazie to do anything. The doctor had already pulled off his scarf, revealing the patch of bruised skin on his neck.

"Well?" The doctor sent the Bee an expecting glare. "What have you been doing with Seeing?"

There was silence for a moment, only the sound of Lag's slightly shuddered breathing sounding.

"I made out with him, okay!" Zazie suddenly yelled, startling even the usually collected doctor.

I knew it. This time, Doctor Thunderland allowed a smirk to cross his features. "Then Seeing doesn't need any further treatment. I'll be making my leave now, since I need to report this to the director. Make sure to stay here until Seeing wakes up." Without another word, the doctor left, leaving a very flustered Zazie behind, who was wondering what exactly the man would report to the director.

The fourteen-year-old let himself fall into a chair beside the table Lag was lying on. Damn… I'm screwed now, aren't I? What if he'll tell the director now? The director will tell Aria-san and she will tell… Well… whoever she would tell it. And Connor is definitely suspecting something. It's only a matter of time until the whole Bee Hive knows!

"Z-Zazie?"

Zazie jumped at the sudden voice pulling him out of his thoughts, then looked down to lock eyes with the white-haired Letter Bee staring up at him. "A-Ah… You're awake, Lag." He laughed nervously, feeling a familiar dread beginning to dominate his mind. That dread of Lag asking questions.

"Why are you here?"

That's nothing bad. Inwardly, Zazie sighed in relief. I can deal with this. "Well… I finished the delivery on my own and let Niche watch over you in that time. Then I had to carry you here after you passed out and I wanted to make sure you're okay. Now I know that you're okay, so now I'll go again." He attempted to get up in order to leave, but he stopped when Lag spoke up again.

"Don't leave!" There was desperation and fear in the boy's eyes and Lag was reaching out with one hand towards Zazie. "I still want to ask you something."

A rather loud gulp could be heard from Zazie and the teen reluctantly sat down again, eyeing the hand Lag had extended towards him. Should… Should I take it? I mean… What am I? His mom? The raven could see sadness beginning to mingle into the boy's look as he didn't do anything. D-Don't look at me like that! Ugh… The puppy-dog-look won Zazie over, even though he much preferred cats. In the end, he took Lag's hand in his and relaxed a little in his chair when moments passed by silently. Zazie could feel the coolness of the boy's hand even through his gloves. His hand is cold. Maybe he–

"Zazie?"

Again, Zazie was startled out of his thoughts by the boy's voice. "Y-Yeah?" The dread returned.

Instead of answering, Lag blinked a few times, looking away after a while and seeming to contemplate his words. When he focused his eyes on Zazie again, a smile crept onto his face. "Can we have sex again?"

"What?"


Okay, this is just a short prologue. Following chapters will be around 3000 words long.
