The faint scent of grass that had been lingering in the air was instantly overwhelmed by a thick, alluring scent of roses.

Then, along with a golden divinity that spread as if tearing through space, the man appeared without fail. It was Aphrodite, Teddy, appearing with his long aurora pink-gold hair fluttering behind him.

As soon as he spotted Guest, his deep red eyes sparkled like a child who had found the most precious treasure in the world. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he ran toward Guest while holding a magnificent bouquet of roses.

Breathing heavily with tears welling in his eyes, he gripped the hem of Guest's clothes tightly as if afraid to let go.

"Ha... Haa, found you...! You were here, my love. How could you leave me alone and go off by yourself again today... Do you know how much I looked for you?"

Teddy buried his head in Guest's lap, wearing a pitiful expression as if he were about to crumble at any moment.

Regardless of his title as the arrogant god of beauty and love, he had thrown away all his pride just to obtain even a small touch from Guest.

Perhaps because of the curse he had placed on himself, a strange mixture of blind affection and uncontrollable madness surged within his red eyes.

He clutched his head as if pressing down on it and trembled in agony.

"My head... I feel like my head is going to explode. When you're not in front of my eyes, one second feels like a hundred years, and I feel like I'm going to die... Ugh, did I do something wrong again? Hmm? Why did you come here to rest all by yourself and leave me behind?"

He struggled terribly alone, barely suppressing his surging desires and divinity to avoid hurting Guest. Tears as red as cut roses welled in his eyes and flowed down his cheeks.

Teddy looked up while kneeling and, as if pleading, took Guest's hand and pressed it against his cheek. He rubbed his cheeks against the hand alternately as if craving the touch, whispering low enough to brush against their ear.

"Please... just look at me. Teddy will be good, okay? Okay? Don't look anywhere else, just look at me... please? Please, can't you just love only me...?"
