Abruptly, Noah’s brain came up with an explanation, and he no longer felt ashamed to bring up the topic. He looked around at the faces around him knowingly and asked, “You guys… have you seen the wedding announcement already?”
Only then did those nonchalant facial expressions all around him morph into collective confusion, “What announcement?”
Noah’s knowing smile cracked spectacularly.
Levi didn’t have the heart to watch his baby struggling any longer, so he offered a timely rescue, “There should be an announcement up about the two of us getting married.”
With that cue, everyone stopped what they were doing to open up the light screens of their communicators.
Noah’s expression, which had been just a wee bit short of completely crumbling, finally fully fell apart. What’s this?? No one saw the announcement, yet everyone acted as if Levi and him acting lovey-dovey was perfectly normal?? ‘What the fuck?!? With your attention to detail, how did you end up hired to work on a crime investigation team!?’
Feeling indignant, Noah’s lips involuntarily pressed into a pout, but he still nervously watched for changes in the crowd’s facial expressions. Yet, a minute passed, his audience closed their light screens, but there were still no changes whatsoever in their expression!!!
Noah, ‘This is unscientific!’ (ノ꒪Д꒪)ノ︵ ┻━┻
No, wait! There were some changes after all!
Fynn’s colleagues had the faces of sudden realization, and calls of “Congratulations, congratulations” followed soon after.
With the awkward silence broken, one of Levi’s colleagues could hold his tongue no more. He resentfully jumped out to complain, “You should have said something, boss! I kept telling everyone that I’m sure that the Cordia sibling you’d be marrying was supposed to be the sister! But they all made fun of me, saying I shouldn’t believe everything I read on the internet!”
Noah’s head snapped towards the rest of Levi’s colleagues, who all guiltily looked away, pretending that the ‘all’ mentioned had nothing to do with them.
‘Oh, I see how it is!’ Noah’s eyes narrowed, and he turned to shoot Levi an accusing glare, ‘You told them something, didn’t you?! That’s why they are not surprised!’
‘How did this black pot fall onto my head??’ Levi naturally felt aggrieved, ‘I didn’t! I didn’t say anything! Baby, you can’t wrong me like this!’
Noah felt even more aggrieved than him, ‘I can’t believe I was the last one to know!! Shame on you!’
Levi felt choked up. He wanted to plead his innocence but couldn’t. In the end, though he really didn’t say anything to his colleagues, he couldn’t refute the fact that his baby was indeed the last to know! In fact, his baby still didn’t know, ah!
The feeling of being wrongfully accused yet not being able to explain… stifling! So stifling! QAQ
Levi’s ire was provoked, and when Levi was in a bad mood, others absolutely couldn’t be better off than him!
“That’s right,” Levi’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and he smiled a smile that was not a smile, “Let me hear, which one of you bastards dared to call for strippers?” (ꐦ ◠‿◠)
Seeing that familiar look in their boss’ eyes, Levi’s people collectively felt an onset of a crisis. They shrunk their neck, trembling like descaled fish on a chopping board.
Fynn’s eyebrow jumped, “Strippers?”
Baby Noah was successfully distracted by the change in topic. He momentarily forgot his indignance and patiently explained, “Just before the attack, someone called strippers to the party.”
Levi glowered at his men, carefully eyeing each and every one of them until their backs were covered in cold sweat.
“None of them called the strippers,” Fynn abruptly interrupted the stare-down. As an Intenter, he could clearly feel that they were all trembling little lambs, yet there was no guilt, regret, nor deception coming off of them.
Noah’s fluffy head tilted to the side in confusion, and he voiced the question that was on everyone’s mind, “Then who called them?” ( •᷄⌓•᷅ )
Fynn and Levi jolted at that moment, and both of them went for their communicators. Levi didn’t dare release the arm holding his baby in place, lest his baby took this opportunity to run away. Thus, after connecting his two hands in front of them to open up his light screen interface, he placed his chin on Noah’s shoulder and used just one hand to type and scroll.
Noah, who was sitting on top of Levi, had a perfectly clear view of Levi’s light screen. But at that moment, he wished he couldn’t see it. Because the screen was swarmed with unsightly articles about how loose Levi’s bachelor party was due to featuring a fair amount of both male and female strippers.
All kinds of media accounts jumped out of the woodworks to say nasty words about Levi and the upcoming marriage. Saying that it was doomed to fail, that Levi was unbridled and did whatever he wanted regardless of morals or consequences.
They even somehow managed to drag Noah and Maery through the mud, coming up with all kinds of outrageous conjectures. Such as saying that it was Noah who convinced Levi to hold the party and called the strippers. That he wasn’t a decent and pure young man that everyone thought he was.
Such as saying that Maery had no control over her fiancé and was just a trophy wife. Saying that the rumors about their harmonious relationship are all bogus and that they actually didn’t get along at all.
Noah wanted to read further, but Levi shut off the feed on his light screen and switched to calling the hotel manager, “You have 10 minutes to find out who called the strippers.”
Hearing the suppressed fury in Levi’s voice, Noah’s previous dissatisfaction with him was swept away with the wind, replaced with worry. He tried to half turn his body to face Levi properly, but the other hugged him tighter to his chest as if worried Noah wanted to throw him away and run off by himself.
Noah’s heart tightened, and a tumultuous loathing for those people bubbled up within his chest. How could they irresponsibly say such ugly things about someone else just for the sake of their own profit?! Hurting others with no remorse and even feeding on their misery!!
Noah let out a bitter sigh and leaned back against Levi, trying to signal the other that he had no intention of moving away. ‘Don’t hang on to me as if you are hanging for dear life. I’m not a block of wood getting carried away by the rapidly flowing water! I…
‘I am a person. Even if you let go… as long as my arms and legs don’t let go, neither waves nor torrents can carry me away!’
Noah couldn’t say out the words within his heart, so he could only pat the back of Levi’s hand comfortingly and move his head towards Levi’s, which was resting on his shoulder, to rub their cheeks together. “They are just spewing nonsense again. Don’t let them get to you. We can–we can just sue them for defamation?”
Levi, behind him, stiffened momentarily, then hugged him even tighter and buried his face in the crook of Noah’s neck. He hungrily breathed in his baby’s wonderful scent and felt the fury within him slowly ease.
When had Levi ever cared about what nonsense the media said about him? No, what he cared about was his baby! He couldn’t stand the idea of his baby seeing these ugly things! What if his baby saw all these people calling Levi loose and unprincipled and started to think that there might be some truth to it?!
And what Levi couldn’t stand even more was them talking bad about his baby!
His baby was the most wonderful! And no one was allowed to say otherwise!
Levi wished he could just seal off his baby’s eyes and ears, so he could only see and hear happy and beautiful things. But he couldn’t. He couldn’t confine his baby inside a golden birdcage. His baby deserved to fly freely. However, with more freedom, protecting his precious from the world became harder and harder. Yet at that exact moment, this beautiful angel-bird within Levi’s bosom nudged him with its fluffy head, proudly telling him, “You think I chose to let you hold me because I wanted your protection? Hmph! You think too highly of yourself! A phoenix born in fire like me only chose to nestle here in order to protect a squishy little mortal like you!” “Mn,” Levi murmured into Noah’s neck, the rumble of his baritone rippling through Noah’s flesh and turning his bones into jelly. ‘I understand. As long as we are together, as long as we protect each other, nothing can hurt us.’ Noah’s entire body shivered, and he tried to shrink his now p
Levi nearly crushed the armrest of his chair, “Teagan Peyton!!” He had already warned this vulgar mutt clearly, yet he still didn’t know what was good for him! Daring to smear his baby’s name! He had thought that Peyton’s father would properly discipline him after the trade agreement between their cities fell through, but, apparently, he overestimated city lord Teagan! Levi’s blue eyes turned stormy and dark. ‘You want to go against me till the end? Very good!’ To the right, one Astar Levi was fuming, while to the left, one Noah revealed a rather peculiar expression. ‘…So the guy came to cause trouble and made one of his bodyguards check in for him?’ Feeling Levi’s growing agitation, Noah gently nudged the other’s head on his shoulder with his own soft cheek, “This guy… isn’t he a bit… too incompetent?” Levi tilted his head to both express his inner confusion and to grant his precious darling easier access to his own cheek.
Asan’s mother ground her teeth for a while as she inspected every word of the warrant. When she could not stall any longer, for she would be wasting her own time, she finally opened the door to the locked lab with her highest clearance. And thus, Fynn confiscated all the lab equipment, including computers with records of the experiments and a small freezer filled with mental power bullets. He then happily sealed off the area for further investigation. How would he not be happy, yo? One look at those black bullets, and he could already tell that they had hit the jackpot! Not just that, if their conjecture was right and those bullets could only be made by S-ranked Fluxers, that meant that if they kept an eye on those few S-ranked Fluxers, with their production of bullets cut off, the terrorists would no longer be able to cause power rampages! One very gleeful Fynn also attempted to question one very furious CEO lady, but all he got was, “Terrorists? What nonsen
Cordia daddy’s face shriveled up so much it looked like a prune. Then he forced a smile on, that looked so ugly it would have been better to just cry instead, “That’s… that’s great… that you two…” Cordia daddy swallowed hard, “…get along so well …but since that’s the case… I think it would be better if the two of you slept separately until the wedding.” Noah’s eyebrows shot up. His dad seemed to have misunderstood the relationship between Levi and him? Ai, but that wasn’t the main issue here! (っ °Д °;)っ “Dad, without my soothing–“ Noah hurried to explain, but his objection was interrupted by Cordia daddy’s firm declaration, “You are not the only Soother in Concordia. If he needs soothing, then I’ll just hire another Soother for him.” Noah’s protest abruptly died in his throat, and he suddenly felt enlightened. Oh! So there was this solution too! Why didn’t he think of it before?! Blackie, ‘Gee, I, too, wonder why… (¬‿¬) Ai, it’s a
“At least we tried…” Noah considerately patted Levi on the shoulder, “How about I come over to soothe you before bed tonight?” Seeing the hopeful gleam in the other’s eyes, Noah proudly added, “That’s right! My soothing is back to 100%! I am as good as new!” Levi’s tightly pressed lips relaxed into a smile, sweeping away the grumpiness in favor of blissful expectation. ‘See that? Baby sending himself to my door! Hmph! I’m dying to see how you’ll prevent your son from sleeping in my bed tonight, father-in-law!’ Cordia daddy, ‘…Challenge accepted!’ (≖_≖) And thus, the two soon-to-be-newlyweds had their breakfast in a merry mood and then, together with their bodyguard entourage, made their way to the peacekeeper station. *** Fynn had dark circles comparable to a panda, a clear testament to how little sleep he had gotten last night. However, unlike most sleep-deprived people, he was in an excellent mood. They had picked up Druxa’
“No wonder Asan’s mother was so uncooperative,” Noah rubbed his chin deep in thought, sitting comfortably in his exclusive, premium-quality Levi-seat. “Even if she can avoid being implicated personally, those illegal drug trials will still be causing her a massive headache for quite a while. Also…” Noah’s amber eyes squinted, much like a cat enjoying a petting, which was exactly what his fluffy head was currently receiving from his human chair, “She must have entrusted this project to her son, and now that things went south, she is protecting him in her own way.” Pleased by how well-behaved his human was today, kitty Noah rewarded the other by leaning back into his warm and comfortable chest. “Even if one of them is clean, the other certainly can’t be. Someone with high enough authority had to grant those unknown communicators access to the lab, and the only two who could have done that were the two of them. What else can she do but remain tight-lipped and threaten us with l
The “well-behaved” and “obedient” husband, Astar Levi, noticed his darling’s worry, thus he immediately jumped to console him. His hand flew to gently rub his baby’s waist, and his voice softened, “It could also be that Asan is avoiding the peacekeepers because he has something to hide. He might be holed up somewhere right now, perfectly fine.” The light touch left Noah feeling ticklish. His cheeks flushed pink, and he quickly covered the naughty hand with his to prevent it from further movement. The sight of all this made Fynn’s teeth ache, hence, he abruptly interrupted the lovey-dovey scene with “Aris, how about you two go back home, and we talk about the rest through a video call?” Baby Noah didn’t have mind-reading powers, thus, he turned to Fynn to blankly stare with his head tilted to the side, “…why???” Seeing a confused ginger kitty with wide amber eyes, Fynn almost blurted out, ‘Why??? Because even if I close my eyes, your sugary intents
Fynn nodded with a triumphant smile, “And that’s exactly why they have been just hoarding bullets instead of using them this entire time! They were putting off the full execution of their plans until Swiftrain sent you to the other side!” Noah, “…” ‘I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I don’t want to rain on your parade, but… As a bro that came from the other side, I can confirm that their plan was 100% effective…’ 〒▽〒 Blackie, “Too bad it didn’t occur to them that sending goes both ways, ah! If they can send people to the other side, the other side can send people over right back!” (☞゚∀゚)☞ Noah, “…” (◞‸ლ) ‘I appreciate your attempts of lifting the mood, but that just sounds really creepy… like… rise-of-the-undead level of creepy…’ Fynn’s declaration still echoed in the room, yet Noah remained silent, his expression unreadable. There was nothing wrong with Fynn feeling a sense of achievement and victory due to this big breakthr
The rumble of Levi’s chest quickly settled down, but the sweet elation bubbling within remained. He dutifully moved his left hand up and down, donning an expression of a demure wife trying to placate her irate husband. However, if one looked closely, one could see a metaphorical fox tail swishing behind him, for his carefully measured strokes only prolonged the sweet torment. On the surface, he was scratching the little one’s “itch”, but in reality, he kept fanning the flames underneath the pot, stirring and mixing the boiling water within, yet not once letting it spill over the edge. While Levi’s left hand was busy producing obscene squelches as it bullied Noah’s needy little brother, Levi’s right hand cupped the little sack snuggly as if weighing a bag of gold coins. Really lovely, ah! ♥ The weight on his palm was pleasing, the velvety texture even more so, and the contents were even more valuable than gold. Levi’s thumb rubbed the base of the pink
Levi closed his eyes in desperate attempts to hold off jumping his darling’s behind. ‘His little ass has not been prepped yet,’ He kept reminding himself. ‘Endure. Focus. Put into practice everything you had learned through “educational” videos.’ Though, it quickly became apparent that his time and effort was better spent doing it than watching other people do it. To put it bluntly – he learned much more quickly with a “hands-on” approach. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) How could he not? With the presence of that magical resonance between him and his baby, trial and error became the best teacher. With each movement of Levi’s tongue and lips, the intense waves of pleasure crashed through Noah and rebounded back to Levi. The pleasure the little one felt leaked between the seams, seeping through onto Levi until he was nearly drowning in it, feeling the consequence of every single movement even more clearly than if he had been doing it to himself. And when that wa
He had such a lewd thing done to him, yet instead of feeling outraged, resentful, or repulsed, he actually… actually responded in such an improper way!!! Ah, ah! He should clearly be dissatisfied right now! And angry, so angry! He should push the other away and scold him! Make him sleep on the couch for a year–no, month–no, week!! But… but… actually… besides nervousness and shame, there was only… “Nngh!” The voice that came out of Noah’s mouth was so lascivious the embarrassment brought tears to his eyes. He bit his lip in a pitiful attempt to stop himself from letting out such appalling noises. Yet his quivering lips just couldn’t remain closed under the onslaught of pleasure, constantly releasing choked gasps and whimpering moans. Noah’s thick and long eyelashes shuddered, trying to blink away the moisture and hide the two amber orbs underneath. Those two gems were too mirror-like, clearly reflecting all of the thoughts that he didn’t wish anyone el
Levi’s body shuddered violently. In an instant, his throat grew so parched he nearly choked on his own sharp inhale. Yet what grew the most was, naturally, Levi’s unbearably hard, unbearably swollen lower half. Though its owner was very bent, his shaft was standing up as straight as a flagpole wishing to pierce the heavens, throbbing painfully with every heartbeat. Levi’s original plan of slowly stripping off his baby’s briefs flew out of the picture in that instant. And so did the mentioned briefs. They slid down Noah’s pair of long, slender legs with rushed haste as if fleeing from a calamity, after which they shot off like a rocket to the unknown horizons of the condo. Levi didn’t even stop a single moment to ponder over the fact that he had just tossed his darling’s panties to who knows where. In fact, if you asked him, he’d rather they were never found. That way, his baby’s everything would unavoidably be laid bare in front of his eyes, free for him to admire an
Without further ado, this respectable S-ranked Enforcer used his noble powers to push Noah’s hands above his head, making one hand grasp the wrist of the other. After unclasping the wristband, Levi switched the target of his power to the communicator, making it fly into his own hand.He had initially wanted to hide the communicator away in the far corner of the condo, but after seeing it had been set to silent mode, he decided to just stash it in the second drawer of the bedside table, right next to his own.Levi hurriedly got off the bed right next to the bedside table.After safely storing his baby’s communicator in the second drawer, he opened the first where he had put the equipment he prepared last night. Levi retrieved a sparkly pink bottle that looked like an expensive perfume at first glance. However, if one observed it more closely, one would notice that the liquid inside was too thick to be perfume.Levi moved to close the drawer but
Levi used his power to gently push his darling, who had been lying on his side, to lie on his back instead. With this slight movement, the bed sheet covering the sleeping beauty slipped past his shoulders, down his chest, revealing the subtle yet gorgeous muscles underneath.Exposed to the sudden chill, the two pink buds on the fair, smooth chest immediately stiffened.When this alluring sight fell into Levi’s eyes, he couldn’t move his gaze away as if bewitched. His breathing sped up, his Adam’s apple rolled, and he swallowed hard. It took only a moment for the look in his eyes to turn from warm adoration to scorching hunger, from restrained anticipation to uncontrollable fervor.He had initially moved with an inspiring and righteous notion of fulfilling his husbandly duties to satisfy his little wife, but his idea of indulgent and pure love
That’s right! Instead of treating these last few hours of moonlight as his wedding night, why not treat the entire day as their “wedding night” day?! (灬✪﹃✪灬)Yes, yes!! Other husbands would just toss their darlings around for a couple of hours on their wedding night, but he, Levi, would be tossing his baby around for an entire day!! And instead of having trouble seeing all the naughty bits due to the lack of light, everything would be obvious under the bright daylight! Even if his baby felt very shy and wanted to turn off the lights, what use would that be with the sun shining bright outside?The more Levi thought about it, the more he felt that getting cockblocked like this was actually a good thing!His baby was tired after a long day; what if he ended up climaxing quickly and then drifted to sleep, leaving Levi halfway there? Wouldn’
Astar Levi stood frozen in place, staring holes into a thick clump of shiny brown hair peeking out of the crimson sheets. Levi’s chicken burrito must have remembered the existence of multiple bathrooms in the bungalow because the strands loosely framing his lovely face were damp. They cast shadows over the little one’s cheeks and eyes, making him look all the more delicate, like a little angel. A sleeping angel. Levi: “…”(。_。) Noah: “…”(*ᴗ˳ᴗ*) Levi: “…Baby?”( •᷄⌓•᷅)‘…please tell me you are just resting your eyes while awaiting my return?’ Noah: “……” (*ᴗ˳ᴗ*) Levi: “…Wifey?”ಠ_ಠ Noah: “…………” (*ᴗ˳ᴗ*) Levi:(ꐦ°Д°
Noah rolled on the bed, wrapping himself with sheets until only his head peeked out. Now that his mistake in apparel was perfectly covered up with bedsheets, this little red caterpillar rolled over to the edge of the bed and let out a breath of relief. “Ah, Blackie! Perfect timing!” ‘Uh-oh!’All of Blackie’s virtual hair stood on its end. His host ignored the roasting and even appreciated Blackie’s uncalled-for appearance?? This did not sound good!(っ°Д °;)っ“…Host… did the gravity of your current situation make your mind snap?! Ah, ah! Calm down! Don’t lose it! I’ll administer emergency sanity-preserving measures right away!” Noah’s response was as dull as Blackie feared it would be! He did not snap at Blackie or even curse him back! Instead, he solemnly declared, “Yes, yes. Measures need to be administered ASAP! Quickly! Knock me out cold before Levi comes ba
