Hearing his baby’s honeyed words, Levi’s restlessness did not settle down in the slightest. On the contrary, the fire within him burned even more intensely.
It had not even been a full day since they parted, yet Levi felt as if he hadn’t seen his baby for a long and torturous eternity. Throughout the entire morning, he had barely managed to restrain himself from running straight over to the Cordia manor to kidnap his bride-ahem, groom!
He kept recalling how his baby acted like a mouse seeing a cat last night, not even daring to look him in the eyes. Would his precious darling get cold feet? That notion alone was enough to make Levi feel as if he had ants in his pants, yet that was not even all of it!
His baby must be looking especially stunning today! And yet, he, Levi, wasn’t there to protect his treasure from being subjected to covetous gazes and dirty thoughts of others!! Thinking how this beautiful flower, which should only be his, was now being greedily eyed by bees and butterflies… suffice to say, Levi couldn’t stay put!
(Blackie, (눈_눈) ‘…Bees and butterflies? Has your illness worsened overnight? Your case of brain damage must have reached critical levels if you can look at your baby’s relatives and think of them as “bees and butterflies”…’)
The minutes ticked by far too slowly, his relatives were annoying him to death, and his baby was not by his side! Levi, who had long reached the limits of his tolerance, finally snapped. He cut the proceedings short and left to pick his baby up himself.
However, this plan was not put to fruition in the end. Because, as soon as the Astar mommy saw that things were not looking good, she promptly called for backup.
Only after being repeatedly reassured by Maery that everything was perfectly fine (and that she would personally keep “the bees and butterflies” off her brother), did Levi manage to calm down enough to head for the wedding venue.
And now that the two had reunited once again, Levi felt that his worries had been fully justified! His baby was clearly beyond perfect; how would others not want to steal him away?!?
Just look how dazzling his precious darling looked in his little outfit!!!
Ah, ironically, all Levi wanted to do was to take it all off… (/≧ω\) ♡
Levi’s blood started to boil at the thought, and his mouth turned dry. He locked his scorching gaze onto the two glittering amber gems that were his baby’s eyes and brought the other’s slender left hand to his lips.
After dropping a sensual kiss on the engagement ring and seeing his baby’s ears turning even redder, Levi felt as if he had been injected with a stimulant. He wanted to seal those alluring lips with his own right now! Wanted everyone to know that this person was his and only his! Everything hidden within his heart was on the verge of spilling out, and he couldn’t hold on for much longer!
Levi didn’t wait for Noah to recover from the sudden assault. He wrapped his arm around the other’s waist, keeping Noah pressed to his side as he intimately led him towards the altar.
The dazed and red-eared little rabbit obediently let himself be guided onwards by the big bad wolf. Noah had long resolved himself to act out the role of a loving spouse without flaw today.
Today, he would put aside all of his worries and reservations. Today, whatever was between him and Levi, or whatever their future held, did not matter. Today, the only thing that mattered was to support Levi and to show everyone that they loved each other very much!
If it was anyone else that he had to act lovey-dovey with, Noah wouldn’t be able to pull it off to save his life. But if it was Levi… if it was Levi… then… Noah peeked towards this soon-to-be-husband of his underneath his long eyelashes, his little heart fluttering inside of his chest like a flock of butterflies.
The wedding suit enhanced Levi’s innate air of wild sexiness even further. He still emitted a potent and very dangerous allure; however, his previous look of an unrestrained fighter was now closer to an overbearing CEO.
Only now, when this mature and devastatingly handsome man used his deep and magnetic voice to speak sweet nothings in Noah’s ear, did Noah realize that previously, when Levi had played lovey-dovey with him, he had shown restraint!
And now, when even that last layer of restraint had been unceremoniously torn off, Noah felt himself drowning in this bubbling sea of magma that was Levi’s affection. His knees grew weak, and he felt thankful that Levi held him so securely. He wasn’t sure that he would have managed to walk steadily towards the altar by himself.
While the two grooms were having their moment, Cordia daddy made his way around to stand beside Astar daddy behind the altar. With the two city lords acting as celebrants, this union would not only be a union between their families but also their cities. This marriage would both be the act that joins the two cities together to create a new one AND the first registered marriage of the new city.
Summoned by the loud wedding march, the guests gathered around the aisle to watch the two grooms walk down it towards the altar. Traditionally, the father of the bride was supposed to lead her down the aisle. However, since this wedding had no bride, this was changed into the two grooms walking down the aisle together.
Noah didn’t initially think that the altar was far away, but as he walked towards it, the distance seemed to stretch endlessly. The closer he got to the altar, the more the reality of his current situation sunk in.
He was getting married!
To a man whom he’d only known for a week!!!
Ah, ah! He was practically a Disney princess! QAQ
Noah’s heart jumped so wildly inside of him he thought he might throw it up. His ears buzzed, the sounds around him becoming muffled and unclear. The city lord of Concordia started to read the wedding script, but Noah only managed to catch bits and pieces of their words. “…. We are gathered here…… to witness… union of … … Astar Levi and … …”
Noah tried hard to concentrate on the words being spoken, but he could barely hear them over his own heartbeat.
Noah’s muddled thoughts kept drifting away like clouds, formless and unable to be grasped.
All other sensations were not as clear as the feel of Levi’s warm hand holding his.
“I do.” Levi’s husky timbre sliced through the fog in Noah’s mind, and he realized it was already his turn to return those two words back.
The rims of Noah’s eyes reddened, and he had to blink away water. Feeling choked up like this, it was very hard to squeeze out those two words.
Those two syllables carried the weight of a lifetime.
They were not just words, but a promise, a vow, a commitment.
Something sacred that couldn’t be made casually. Something that once said could not be taken back or broken.
The significance of those two short words hit Noah like a truck. His mouth opened, but no sound came out.
He felt Levi rubbing the back of his hand gently, and Noah involuntarily looked towards the other.
Levi wore a small, encouraging smile, but the tense muscles in his neck showed the truth of his inner nervousness. His deep blue pools stared at Noah unblinkingly, swirling with dread and hope, dark obsession and bright adoration.
Noah saw his own reflection within those two eyes, and abruptly, the fuzzy mess within him became crystal clear.
He would never be able to view his own marriage like a political arrangement. Because to him, marriage was something much more.
If he, Noah, made a vow, then he would keep it. If he couldn’t keep it, then he would never make it.
So…
This current life of his… was he willing to promise it to Astar Levi?
The corner of Noah’s lips curled up. How foolish was he?
He was determined to only love a person who would love him back.
But to be loved back, you have to love first.
One side had to make the first step, otherwise, they would forever remain in a deadlock.
Noah’s pink lips parted. A clear and melodious voice cut through the heavy silence, “I do.”
He, Noah, did not need to control the hearts of others. What he needed was to stay true to himself.
He, Noah, could not predict the future, but he was not afraid to love.
I can hardly wait for the next chapter, ah! So exciting! What happens next is among my top three scenes of the entire volume! o(≧▽≦)o
Cordia daddy shared a look with the Astar daddy and wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. Levi let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. His face broke into a mesmerizing smile, seemingly unfazed by Noah’s slight delay; however, his shaking hand betrayed his true mood as he signed the marriage certificate. Noah’s hand didn’t shake. His ears were neon red, but the movement of the pen in his hand was decisive and smooth as silk. Just like the fluid movement of his mental power now that he remembered to wrap the premises in his SS-ranked soothing. He could hear the two mothers blowing their noses, so he wanted to help them feel better. But mostly, he wanted to soothe the unrest within Levi’s heart that he had inadvertently caused with his earlier pause. Maery walked out from beside Noah, carrying a deep red cushion with two elegant golden rings. Her smile was so wide she looked like a cross-breed between an orange tabby and
The cheers and claps slowly turned from enthusiastic to awkward, but Levi still refused to let go. He had yearned for his baby day and night for so long. Now that he had finally gotten a taste of heaven, it was especially difficult to put a stop to it. This mouthful of honey was still far from enough to satiate him! How would he be willing to let go? Unable to bear the sight of this any longer, one very disgruntled city lord of Concordia loudly coughed to interrupt. And was unceremoniously ignored. A vein bulged in Cordia daddy’s neck, and he coughed even louder, fully imbuing all his frustration into that violent cough. ‘Shameless scoundrel!! How long do you intend to suck my son’s face?! (ꐦ °Д°) What are you trying to do here?!? Eat him up whole in front of everyone?! You think it’s all fine as long as you are only showing them your back?! As if they can’t tell what’s happening!!!’ Finally, he received a response this time – he go
And-and-and…! Now that he thought about it… That fateful morning a few days back, which he dared not recall… Ah, ah! If the other truly saw him as his little brother, how would the punishment for accidentally touching his tin-tin be to jerk him off?! A big brother should be protective of his younger brother and not want to do “this and that” with him!!! What bullshit about taking responsibility and good bros helping each other out!?! He had thought Levi was less conservative about such things, but as it turned out, this shameless thing was just coming up with excuses to eat his tofu this entire time!!! (ꐦ °Д°) Bloody hell!! For all he knew, this horndog might have intentionally been sticking his shaft up his ass!!! Wait… (≖_≖) Levi’s spider-sense suddenly tingled, and he couldn’t help but cautiously ask, “Baby? What’s wrong?” Noah did not respond, for he had just realized a glaring problem that he had previously missed! Back then, when that inde
He knew he should be really mad at Levi, but he couldn’t hold onto this anger. Like a punctured balloon, no matter how he tried to stoke the flames underneath it, the hot air just kept passing right through! He had clearly been tricked and taken advantage of, but instead of feeling angry and vengeful, he felt… a bit happy. (⁄ ⁄> ﹏ <⁄ ⁄) Being wanted by the person one liked… wasn’t it normal that his little heart felt super sugary-sweet? This husband of his might be a shameless scoundrel, but… but his heart was in the right place… (/≧ω\) Bah, forget it. They were a pair of legally wedded husbands now. There was no point holding on to a petty grudge like this. If it weren't for Levi's aggressive pursuit, who knows when he would have realized that he liked Levi. A pure-minded worldborn like him might have gone on for years thinking that the two of them had a touching brotherhood between them. He’d much rather be taken advantage of than to put Levi
Author Note: Before you continue reading this chapter, if you are not familiar with the song "The Final Countdown" by Europe, you should go listen to it on youtube (https://youtu.be/9jK-NcRmVcw). When a tune / beat is mentioned in this chapter, you should imagine the start of this song. --- With an upturn of his lips, Noah reached his slender hand towards a waiter who was passing by, elegantly snatching a wine glass from his tray. Then he motioned a toast towards the people present and took a small yet somehow alluring sip. The sweet red wine stained Noah’s lips a darker shade of red as if rouge. His pink tongue quickly licked it off as if a kitten lapping up milk, leaving his pink lips glossy and especially enticing. Levi and Trey, to the right and left of him, stiffened. And much to Levi’s outrage, even a couple of old farts in front couldn’t help but swallow hard. Really made Levi want to beat people up until even their mot
The only two whose smiles remained just as radiant throughout were Maery and Levi. Levi had no intention to hide his good mood, and after a week-long practice, he had already learned the proper method to deal with facial cramps. Thus, he kept happily showing off his little “wife” to everyone for the entire day and night, clearly proclaiming his ownership for all eyes to see. And, of course, he also took a few nibbles of his baby’s tofu here and there for good measure. And to help him endure ‘til the full course meal… o(≧▽≦)o And there were even a few legit couple activities scheduled where he could righteously smother his baby! Such as cutting the cake together. (Heh heh, his little kitty had such soft little paws! (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)) Maery, too, was almost as ecstatic as Levi. On the one hand, she couldn’t be happier that this wedding wasn’t hers and Levi’s, especially after seeing how happy the two of her favorite boys were together. And on the other han
Shaw’s usually gentle and collected demeanor cracked and fell apart in that instant. “I’m a straight man! A straight man!!!” Desperation was practically leaking out of his red-rimmed eyes as he looked around. “Do I not look straight?? Tell me, do I not look straight?! Where do I look like a gentle and caring ‘top’?!?” “…” The trio of gay “tops”, who also mistook this so-called straight man as their brethren, exchanged a constipated look. (; ゚ 3゚ )~♪ “Uh…” Trey ran his hand through his spiky black hair, “I know how you feel. I get mistaken for a straight man all the time…” “Yes, yes, that’s normal.” Fynn echoed, “No one has their sexuality written on their face…” “Straight bro, don’t be sad, ah! We accept all sexualities into the heartbroken club!” Case unreservedly directed a welcoming look to this comrade whose crush, just like her brother, couldn’t even recognize the sexuality of her admirer for so many years. “Welcome, welcome. Here, have another d
When those husky words reached Noah’s pink ears, the messy thoughts running through his head screeched to a halt, and so did his racing heart. Time stood still as two pairs of eyes gazed into one another. One pair watery, the other blazing, yet both equally mesmerized. After several long, silent beats, Noah’s heart leaped from stand-still to a full gallop, pounding against his rib cage like a drum. Warmth spread from his chest outwards, melting away all of his worries as if snow, leaving behind a puddle of pure joy. Noah’s red abused lips unconsciously curled up in a small sweet smile, so captivating it nearly stole Levi’s soul away. The little incubus stared up at Levi with flushed cheeks and bright glistening eyes, his loose tie hanging around his neck like a ribbon on a present about to be unwrapped. His wrapping, already half torn, now revealed the entirety of his slender neck and delicate collarbones. And as the upper half of his smooth white chest moved with hi
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
