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 nonsense! You’ll be hearing from my lawyers!”
CEO of Druxa refused to speak about the research done in that lab and the people doing it. She also had no comments on the question of how terrorists might have gotten ahold of their technology.
However, the little that she DID say was revealing enough to an Intenter of Fynn’s caliber. According to the vibes he got from her, she definitely knew much more about the research project than she let on. However, though she was intentionally hiding a lot, she also genuinely seemed to have no intention to harbor or help out terrorists in threatening the populace. She might have signed off on that research project aware of its potential as a bioweapon, but whatever potential terrorist plot happened in that lab occurred without her knowledge.
In other words, she might be a capitalistic scum, but she wasn’t a terrorist.
***
The hour drew late, and the pair of soon-to-be newlyweds had a busy couple of days ahead of them. Thus they had no intention to pull an all-nighter working on this case. After scheduling to meet early tomorrow morning, they left the rest of the proceedings to Fynn and returned back to Cordia manor to rest.
It’s just that when Noah opened his own bedroom… ‘Huuuh?? What happened to my bed?!’ ( ゚Д゚)
Behind him, Levi’s big smile was wiped away, replaced by an equally as big frown.
After what had been done this morning and with them officially becoming a couple, Levi had been especially looking forward to sleeping with his baby tonight. Yet what the hell was this?! Instead of his baby’s large fluffy bed, he was staring at a bunk bed instead!!!
Before the two could wrap their mind about the sudden interior redesign of Noah’s bedroom, Cordia daddy made his timely entrance. Like a slinking creature of nightmares, he soundlessly slid behind them with a big creepy smile, “Son. Son-in-law. Do you like the new sleeping arrangements?”
Noah and Levi, as if synchronized, stiffly turned to face this menace. Levi’s huge scowl spoke loud and clear about how much he “liked” the new arrangements, while Noah looked at this father of his with an expression of a researcher discovering a previously unknown species that, on first glance, seemed a bit retarded, “You exchanged my bed for a bunk bed? But why?” щ(゚Д゚щ)
Being questioned so directly, Cordia daddy was caught off guard for a moment. How should he explain this to his pure-minded son? This kind of thing couldn’t be spoken outright, yet if he was too subtle about it, his son wouldn’t get it.
“Two big men, sleeping on one bed…” Cordia daddy struggled to finish the train of thought. After several attempts of voicing out the remainder of the sentence, what finally came out was, “Isn’t it too crowded?”
A snort escaped both Noah and Levi at the ridiculous question.
“What do you think?” Noah suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, “If the two bunk beds were put side by side, they would still not add up to the width of the old bed! And I’m not even going to go into all the technical difficulties of sleeping in either one of the two bunks.” And let it be known that he, Noah, as a little orphan who slept in a bunk bed for his entire life, could write a dissertation on the pros and cons of bunk beds!
Noah shook his head with a facial expression that clearly spelled out, ‘Dad, what were you thinking?’
The attack power of that look proved to be too high for Cordia daddy to take!_(´ཀ`∠)_
Feeling like he had just swallowed a fly, he impulsively blurted out, “You are this big already! How can you just casually share a bed with another adult?!”
Levi, who had remained silent all this while, could no longer hold in his dissatisfaction, “How is sleeping together with my fiancé considered casually sharing a bed?”
Cordia daddy did a double-take at the question, then stared at Levi blankly for full five seconds. And then he tentatively stammered out, “Son–son-in-law… your fiancée’s room is down the hall…”
Hearing that befuddled tone, Noah’s face lit up with enlightenment. And with this realization came an abrupt feeling of delight.
So he wasn’t the last one to know after all! Noah’s two amber eyes curved in pleasure. (ಡ艸ಡ) Heh heh, there were still people who weren’t keyed in on the changes in the wedding arrangements yet!
Here, here, father, let me help you out~ (ノ*^o^)ノ*
With a sense of pride that came out of nowhere, Noah pulled up the wedding announcement on his communicator and, with a few taps, shared it to his father’s communicator.
At first, Cordia daddy wasn’t sure what he was looking at, some kind of outrageous made-up tale the media had come up with? But then he noticed that the announcement was officially issued by his daughter’s and son-in-law’s accounts and forwarded by both his wife and his in-laws!
Then the main point of the announcement finally reached him, and the color of his face went through the entire shade of the rainbow.
First came the abrupt enlightenment of what exactly had been bothering him about the relationship between his son and his son-in-law! The sense of wrongness and violation he had subconsciously felt about the two of them sleeping together was because his son-in-law treated his baby son with more gentleness and loving affection than Cordia daddy treated his own wife!
This realization gave birth to the feeling of being cheated! Not only did Cordia daddy suddenly get robbed of his lovely son, with his dreams of an equally as lovely daughter-in-law dashed, but it even came like thunder from the clear sky!
His daughter had lied to him about her relationship for 6 years, and she didn’t even mention anything about this change to him beforehand!! And even his wife had forgotten to notify him! What was he, the esteemed lord of Concordia, in this house – air?!? QAQ
And he, like a fool, even went through all that effort to make the two boys keep an appropriate distance…!
Cordia daddy, QAQ ‘What the fuck?! Why have I been trying so hard?! Won’t the two still end up sleeping together in three days?! Ah, ah! My custom-made bunk bed!’ (ノಥ益ಥ)ノ ┻━┻
Cordia daddy felt so choked up his face turned red.
No, wait!!! This bunk bed!!!
Instead of forcing the two boys to sleep apart, wouldn’t it have the exact opposite effect?! Making them squeeze together into one of the two beds?!? 😱
What a huge blunder!!! Ah, ah! His fatherly instincts screamed danger! If left like this, his darling son’s chastity might be threatened!!! He definitely couldn’t count on that scummy son-in-law of his to keep it in his pants until marriage!!! Just look at what a big grin his son-in-law had been wearing before he saw the bunk bed! Now that he was on the right page, as a man, Cordia daddy knew exactly what the other was thinking!!!
How would Cordia daddy be able to sleep a wink with such a horrifying thought to keep him awake?! The thought that this scourge might be doing his innocent baby son just downstairs!!!
Even if that horrid occurrence was just a matter of time… Cordia daddy would be damned if he left that rogue of a son-in-law off like this!!
No sex before marriage!!! Ψ(ꐦಠ益ಠ)Ψ
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
Noah had a thin face and hugging in public was embarrassing enough; he really couldn’t handle anything more! And on top of it all, with every minute that passed, the harder it became for him to distinguish the act from reality. He didn’t like this, he didn’t like it at all! Even if it was all an act, his feelings weren’t an act! Everything happening felt real to him, so once the act was over, how would he be able to just pretend like nothing had happened?! Being kissed so gently like this, only a block of wood wouldn’t feel their heartstrings quivering! Levi, whose eyes never left his baby’s face, noticed Noah’s momentary flash of regret and, like a seasoned general, seized this opening to strike. Looking very remorseful, he dropped another gentle kiss on Noah’s supple cheek, “I’m sorry, baby, don’t be angry. Next time I kiss, I’ll make sure others can’t see.” Noah’s eyes widened, and he attempted to turn his head away to avoid further kisses, “Still acting?
Noah just couldn’t enter into this mental state of make-believe. Regardless of the intention behind it, it was still a hug! How could he view it as something other than what it was? But this inability to pretend was his own psychological issue… He shouldn’t make Levi suffer due to it. The right thing to do would be to grit his teeth and pull through these remaining couple of days. Noah let out a long and heavy sigh, but his arms that had been crossed defensively in front of him loosened. He skittishly eyed Levi’s torso, thinking about how to best go about returning the hug. ‘Noah, you can do it!’ He encouraged himself, ‘How come you didn’t feel shy hugging Levi a few days earlier? Why are you suddenly making such a big deal out of it?’ Before he could even finish that thought, Noah answered his own question, ‘How could it be the same?! A few days earlier, I was hugging my good and straight brother-in-law! And now I’m hugging my own not-e
“And?” Noah tilted his brown head. “Since it’s still in development, we don’t have a large database of people to compare it against just yet…” Noah’s nose wrinkled, “So nothing?” “On the contrary,” Fynn’s mouth curled up, “Since we didn’t have a database, I pulled up some footage of the last city council meeting for testing purposes. Who would have thought we’d actually manage to get a match.” Fynn’s smile disappeared, replaced by a frown, “Too bad that the technology is still experimental, and its results aren’t yet considered reliable enough to be used in court.” Noah leaned forward towards the light screen, his little butt nearly slipping off the sofa, “Heh, for testing purposes, you say? Weren’t you trying to check whether this person is councilor Desmond?” Fynn’s frown was once again replaced by a guilty-as-charged look, and he scratched his head sheepishly, “He is one of the shareholders of Druxa, and the main advocate for the monitoring
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
