Flip the Coin [BL]-Chapter 224. Curiosity

Henry’s POV

Like breakfast, for whatever reason, we again sat together with the remnants of the group from Deer World and Chelsea.

"Be careful about the skinny guy," Glasses Guy warned, pushing his glasses up and directly steering the topic back.

I remembered the skinny man from just now in the showers, looking underdeveloped but opening his mouth to speak and laugh about things that didn’t concern him with gusto.

I tried to suppress the smile forming on my lips; this guy wouldn’t have stood a chance against me even before I merged with the little shadow.

"Oh? Why the warning?" Kenny asked, looking curious.

Whatever. I closed my mouth to swallow the dismissive words I wanted to speak.

Anything that wiped the soulless look off Kenny’s face was a good thing.

Besides last night being really difficult for him, though he didn’t seem to remember, I found him making more and more expressions, sometimes seemingly having returned to his old self.

That gave me an idea. If the giant had been Kenny’s counterpart, and if he had inherited all his memories and experiences, maybe the way he partly behaved—the unusual indifference—was, besides the trauma he had received, something like an identity crisis.

My plan now was to get Kenny to experience things as himself, reminding him of his identity. Play games, talk about stuff, joke around—things like that.

I would even prefer him to return to the cat-like self that hissed and attacked with each prolonged touch, as long as he stopped looking as if he might jump out of the window at any moment.

However, I would naturally never let him revert to denying me hugs, because now that I got them as much as I wanted, it was impossible to part with them.

I will stick to him so much that he will be unable to live without my touch, just as it is the other way around.

Taking a bite of my burger, with Kenny sitting beside me, I felt him grab my hair and hold it back from hindering me.

See? Can’t part with such cuteness.

"Something is wrong with him. He is my number one candidate for being one of the cannibals. The way he eyes the twins is strange, and a month ago, he punched a guy into unconsciousness."

"What did the center do?" Kenny asked with apparent displeasure.

"Nothing," Anti Guy answered for Glasses Guy.

"Hmmm. What are you thinking? Another case of a social study? How does the group behave with an aggressor among them?" Kenny turned to me, and I nodded slowly, put the burger down, and wiped my mouth with a napkin, only for him to regretfully let go of my hair. But he had to eat as well, so he needed his hands anyway.

"Or does he have something that they want?" I answered.

"Yeah. It’s strange that they don’t react. How many people know about the punching incident?" Kenny asked the two guys.

I looked at them and found the red-haired girl, who had remained silent since we met her again here, staring at me before breaking into a smile and averting her eyes.

I turned back to my food, completely disinterested in what was going on with her.

"Not many. Harry and I were wandering around and saw it before we went to get someone." Anti-Guy answered, motioning to Glasses Guy.

I looked at Kenny’s expression and nearly broke into a fit of laughter; he looked a bit bewildered, but more because he finally heard Glasses Guy’s name.

"What happened?" Chelsea asked, and I waved it off.

"Just some guys getting cocky while showering." I shot a warning look at Harry and Anti-Guy so they wouldn’t talk more than they should.

Kenny had gone silent in embarrassment, so I stole one of his fries, which had the desired effect of him swatting my hand away and coming back from whatever reverie he had been in.

I was really so damn curious about what had happened exactly between us.

He just said that he used me to stay sane, but why and how exactly? And what did we do? Was it more than just biting and maybe sucking?

First, we’ll get my Kenny back completely, and then I am going to ask him.

"Can I use one of your phones to look up something ?" Kenny asked suddenly.

"Sorry, we can only use them in our rooms. It’s against the rules to take them out," Harry answered.

"If you get caught, you’ll be thrown out. But if you tell me, I’ll look into it for you," Anti-Guy confirmed regretfully.

"Nah, forget it." Kenny mumbled something about the library that Chelsea had talked about, which piqued my interest as well.

Sadly, we can’t talk completely openly in here with the constant surveillance, so I didn’t ask him directly what he wanted to find out.

"Porn?" Anti-Guy asked pityingly, while Chelsea broke into laughter, and Kenny chuckled.

"Nope. How would I even look at porn when I have a roommate constantly around me?"

I suppressed any images surfacing in my mind of Kenny touching himself and finished my food in an attempt to push down the new bout of curiosity about how he would do it, to what he would do it, and what it would look like.

*****

We wandered with the group along the first floor and soon entered the big room with many high wooden shelves in it after a few twists and turns.

Everyone dispersed until Kenny and I were finally alone again. Kenny looked around, and, seeing a few colorful book spines, he zoomed in on the manga selection that was near the entrance, apparently highly sought after.

"Can’t believe they have stuff like this..." he whispered to me.

I took a manga out, skimmed through it, and then looked at another one. There were also comics in here with superheroes and such.

I turned to look at Kenny, curious about what he would choose to read, when I saw him open a manga, freeze, grimace in disgust, and say, "Nope."

He then put it back and instantly walked away.

I followed him a few steps before I couldn’t stop myself and walked back.

Opening the little book, I found myself confronted with two girly guys making out.

Next page, they unclothed themselves.

Next page, they each touched their erect cocks.

Next page, one put his fingers in the other’s behind.

Next page, the smaller girly guy was fucked by the bigger girly guy.

Before I snapped out of it, I had not only read the whole manga, even going so far as to start from the beginning, but I had also looked for other books in the same genre, of which I found a few nearby.
