Once upon a time, Marcel’s sister injured herself in the forest while gathering herbs. Marcel was at a loss for what to do until a fearsome horned man appeared, offering help–in exchange for a promise. Now, ten years later, Marcel returns to the woods, steeling himself for death. Instead, he finds something quite different: a gentle soul, friendship…and perhaps something more.

This is a short, delicate BL oneshot that’s quite pretty. It’s about budding affection, a mysterious young man we meet in a greenhouse, and the give-and-take of a relationship.
