*Comment as the novel reader* I love this story sooooo much! The CP is younger wolf boy Sixx (gong) x older fierce mafia boss Malon Cage (shou). Over 10-year age difference. Their first meeting was when Sixx was 12 and Cage was like middle twenties. It’s a story about a boy exploited in the circus since a kid, with low self esteem and not acknowledging how miserable his life in the circus was, and a mafia boss suffering insomnia from paranoia, then discovered that he could sleep perfectly fine when he had a wolf boy lying beside him. Their relationship started from here. It’s not quite a beautiful road, the story’s theme contains some disturbing scenes that might disgust you (but not from the CP themselves, just the theme’s setting that had some dark underworldly/illegal mafia/gang stuffs) like drugs dealing, prostitution (including children), sexual assault, something like that. Highly recommended for folks who love to read this kind of novel setting.
*might contains some spoilers*
And I would like to clarify some aspect about this age gap, it’s not child grooming guys, Cage had no intention in being in that kind of relationship with Sixx. What he wanted was just a pillow that make him feel safe and trust and Sixx fitted in that aspect, he’s kind to Sixx cause he just wanted to be kind and not like his actions hinted to anyway of grooming so if we want to talk about child grooming in this story, it’s definitely not with Cage (but I would say Sixx was groomed since he a child by the Ringmaster, that bastard was really vicious and hateful).
