When Cordia daddy received the report from the butler, he nearly choked on his spit.
This son-in-law is treating his little son’s room as his own!! Has he no shame?? So many rooms in the manor, including his fiancée’s place, yet he chooses to settle in his son’s bedroom?!?
For goodness sake! His son’s room didn’t even have a sofa! There is only that one bed!!
It took Concordia city lord a long while to finally manage to swallow down his indignation.
Very well! Every problem has its solution. (ꐦ ◠‿◠)
And thus, he passed down his orders – tomorrow, when the two boys left the bedroom, move another bed inside.
Not enough room for another bed? Make room! Even if you have to replace the large bed with a smaller one, you shall do it!
Can’t get that huge bed out of the room? Don’t care how you do it! Even if the only solution is to split the huge bed into two with a bloody laser cutter, you still have to do it!!
No way will his son be sleeping on the same bed as his son-in-law tomorrow!! Prevent it if it’s the last thing you do!!
Blackie, whose sensors covered an area a lot larger than Noah realized, listened to these instructions and momentarily felt a bout of shame. Because the first thing that came to his mind after hearing ‘definitely won’t be sleeping in the same bed tomorrow’ was a 100% accurate prediction of Levi’s response:
(≖ ‸ ≖) ‘Challenge accepted.’
***
The whole point of Noah and Levi sleeping in the same room was so that Levi could quickly fall into a blissful dreamless slumber aided by Noah’s great soothing powers. And as one would expect…
…it was Noah who fell into a blissful slumber in mere minutes, while Levi stayed wide awake for hours…
As expected. Which hot-blooded man would be able to just fall asleep when his unguarded darling, dressed only in a thin t-shirt and briefs, was sleeping right next to them, in the same bed, under the same covers?!
How could Levi bear to waste this God-given opportunity to openly stare at his darling and even subtly cup a feel or two?!
(Blackie, ‘God-given? Actually, it’s more like… terrorist given. So, uh… Satan, is that you?’ 🤔)
And thus, instead of sleeping, Levi’s heated gaze burned holes into his baby’s angelic sleeping face. Just look how lovely his darling looked with his silky light brown hair spread over the white pillow like a halo! As Noah slept, his long and thick eyelashes trembled ever so slightly, their every flutter making Levi’s heart flutter as well. Noah’s breathing was soft and nearly inaudible, but if one came close enough, they could feel fragrant puffs of air coming out of those plump pink lips that simply enticed one into sin.
Levi naturally didn’t disappoint and was indeed enticed into sin. How could he resist the temptation of his darling’s supple skin within arm’s reach?
After a brief moment of hesitation (a VERY brief moment of hesitation), Levi tentatively slid his fingers down his darling’s naked forearm. Ah! Soft and warm, with the texture akin to fine satin. ❤ Ah, ah! He wanted to touch it forever! (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)
And so he touched it more. At first, the touch was as light as a feather, but with his baby’s complete lack of response, Levi grew bolder and bolder.
In Noah’s defense, his sleeping like the dead wasn’t inborn but trained over the long years of suffering in the orphanage dorms. Heh, how would a light sleeper survive 18 years sleeping in the same room with 7 other kids that snore, grind their teeth, mumble in their sleep and get up in the middle of the night to pee?
Unfortunately, his well-trained resistance to distractions came to bite him at this moment in the form of one very brazen brother-in-law. Whose hands were currently sliding up and down Noah’s forearm as if caressing the fur of a kitten.
Levi edged closer and closer. Finally, when his naked chest was practically plastered to his darling’s back, Levi reached out to gently envelop his baby in his arms.
And that’s where the accident happened.
In the attempt of wrapping his arms around his baby, Levi inadvertently grazed a small yet sensitive bud on his darling’s chest with his fingers.
Le gasp! That ought to have been enough to wake up this unfortunate little heavy sleeper, right??
Wrong! As Blackie would put it – he slept like a dead pig!! But…
But in his deep sleep, that piglet let out a soft sound ticklish to the ear. To a normal person, it might have sounded cute, but when this coquettish half-gasp half-moan entered Levi’s ear, it turned into something devastatingly erotic that set his entire body on fire.
Even though there had been no skin-to-skin contact between the little bud and Levi’s fingers, Levi’s entire hand felt as if butterflies were perching on it. Unbearably ticklish to the point of complete distraction. His trembling white hand quickly turned pink. Levi could even feel it pulsate with his own rapid heartbeat.
The matter was made even graver by Levi’s sudden realization that his darling was a heavy sleeper. Which meant that he could eat his darlings tofu all night long!! And even take huge bites at that!!!
‘Did someone mention eating baby’s tofu?’ Right on cue, Levi’s gluttonous lower member rose its head as if to look around for that tasty piece of ass.
Heh, forget sleeping! At that point, Levi was so agitated he couldn’t even appreciate the beautiful position he was currently in! Instead, he had to immediately run for the bathroom to do a few rounds of intense exercise with his right hand.
***
After an extended visit to the toilet, Levi still couldn’t calm down; thus, he attempted an “out of sight, out of mind” strategy. He went out of the bedroom and started to pace up and down in the hallway.
Levi attempted every method to distract his thoughts away from the delicious meal waiting for him in the bed on the other side of the door, but it was as if he was physically unable to think about anything other than his lovely little kitten.
Fortunately for him, after a while of pacing back and forth, he managed to remember one critical matter that had everything to do with his kitten, yet he, Levi, had yet to take care of it.
That’s right! The blasted engagement!
Levi descended into the foyer, and after a brief inquiry, confirmed that his fiancée had yet to return home. Thus, Levi plopped his butt down into the sofa in the foyer, determined to break off this engagement as soon as his baby’s sister walked through the front door.
And so, Levi tapped the armrest, checked the time on his communicator, then looked back at the unmoving front door. He tapped the armrest some more, and then checked the time on the huge decorative clock on the wall, and then he pressed the button to call his fiancée on her communicator. The call didn’t connect.
Levi rotated between tapping the arms rest, checking the time, and calling the annoying woman for a long time. Finally, bored out of his mind and getting more and more impatient by the minute, Levi recalled the idea he had a while back. Or rather, a matter he needed to investigate asap!
No, it wasn’t the matter of his baby’s suitors! He, the dignified and the magnanimous ruler of Astarea, and his darling’s one and only future husband didn’t need to worry about some peasants stealing the goddess–ahem, the god of his heart!(︶^︶)ノAlright, fine! The actual truth was that he hadn’t gotten his hands on that list just yet… (≖ ‸ ≖)Apparently, getting a list of his love rivals involved a lot of research; getting accurate information within such a short time frame was unrealistic. Or at least that’s what his people had claimed with tears in their eyes.Hmph, since he had more pressing matters to attend to right now, he would let them off the hook this once.As for the mentioned pressing matters, they were naturally related to getting married to his baby. Back when he had decided to switch the bride of the arranged marriage to his baby, Levi had lamented how much easier it would all be if h
By the time the eldest Cordia sibling, Noah’s sister, handled all of the work assigned to her, the day had already turned into night. Her healing powers had been squeezed dry, leaving her utterly exhausted self, stumbling on her way to the employee lounge.Her glassy eyes lit up when she saw the vacant sofa as if seeing a great benefactor. Without further ado, she slumped into the comfy goodness, intending to briefly rest her tired body before hauling herself home. However, as soon as her head touched the sofa, she ended up inadvertently dozing off. When she finally snapped out of it, the time on the wall showed several hours had already passed.She sat up in a fluster, her abrupt actions making the quilt covering her slide off. In a daze, she gazed towards the soft blanket which she did not remember covering herself with.Ah, Shaw must have seen her embarrassing state and considerately fetched a blanket. What a mature, thoughtful gentleman! Tsk, unlike he
Noah’s sister wasn't the only one who had trouble falling asleep that night. Somewhere in Concordia, there was a dimly lit room with all of its window sills shut tight in an attempt to keep the proceedings inside private. A futile effort since neither the tightly shut windows nor the thick door could keep the loud and agitated bits and pieces of the conversation from leaking out."How is he fine and well?!?""…don't know!""Didn't you say… estimated power… SS-rank Soother?!?""I told you… results… unpredictable!""Didn't… increase the doze?! How is… Astar Levi… fucking fine?!?""Differences in mental power? Differences in the level of… abilities? For all we know… soothing power …increasing…""So we are fucking training the enemy to counter our plans better?! Is that it?!?"A sharp sound of glass breaking could be heard from within.
Noah’s eyes were wide and watery, every inch of his skin red, and his “natural” facial expression anything but natural. He attempted to meet Levi’s eyes because avoiding the other’s gaze would make him look guilty, but his poor acting nearly made Levi’s very good acting fall apart! He just looked like a trembling little rabbit trying to look brave and lock eyes with the wolf, only to falter and look down shyly. But then remember he was supposed to be brave, so look up again, but ah! Can’t look in the eyes! So embarrassed, ah! (/≧ω\) ‘Oh, for the love of…!! Baby, that’s a foul!!’ Levi’s heart melted into a puddle from the overwhelming cuteness attack he had been subjected to. The corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he swallowed hard, the knot on his throat bobbing up and down. Thankfully for him, his acting was still passable, either due to his naturally thick face or the fact that his facial expressions were naturally less expressive than most pe
Levi ground his teeth, “Thanks…”Noah’s now empty hand gave him a thumbs up, “You are welcome.” ╰(*°▽°*)╯Levi, “…”‘Sigh~ At least he is cute…’ Levi comforted his broken heart while putting his clothes on, ‘Mn, so very cute.’Soon enough, Levi came out of the room, fully clothed, much to Noah’s visible relief.Levi eyed his cute little kitten and then sighed, “…I’ll be right back; I need to talk to your sister. Wait for me to have breakfast together.” Sure, he did break off the engagement last night, but that was one-sided, and he had yet to hear his ex-fiancée’s agreement. Not to mention, there were still several marriage-related matters that needed to be settled.Noah nodded very understandingly, and thus Levi set off on his martyrdom. With an overbearing manner, he strutted through t
Cordia mommy’s eyelid twitched again; she tried very hard to block out Levi’s form from her peripheral vision and concentrate on the conversation, “Then why did you give me that exasperated look earlier? You think they shouldn't have gotten married?”“How would I know whether they should have gotten married or not? I haven't watched this drama,” Noah shrugged again.“Then why the look? The look!”“It's because the setting is a bit… hmm… how should I put this…” Noah licked his lips, “From the setting, it would seem like the two were unwilling but had no choice but to get married. And I think that where there is a will, there is a way. If they were really against getting married, they would have found a way out of it.” Noah once again wore that same exasperated look, “The scriptwriters were just lazy and wanted them together for the plot.”Cordia mommy w
Cordia mommy put down the cracker she had been nibbling on, no longer having any appetite. “Haha, son-in-law, don’t bully your little wife too much, or he’ll run away!” She teased with a hard-to-define undertone that had a bit of a subtle sharpness to it.In response to this outrageous title of a little wife that had just been placed on his head, Noah’s eyes widened in indignant shock. ‘Mother! Aren’t your jokes today a bit too much?!? First you ask me such a tricky question with no right answer, and now that I’ve answered it, you… you… you! What little wife?! I would clearly be a little husband, ok?!?’Blackie felt metaphorical blood rise up his non-existent throat, ‘Host, you are focusing on the wrong thing again!!!’Unfortunately for Blackie’s sanity, his host’s other half focused on the wrong thing too!“Mother is right,” when face
The city lord of Concordia stood there awkwardly, realizing that all his plans were an exercise in futility. Yet, the only thing that popped up in his mind at that moment was, ‘That’s what?! Two-three days sleeping together unsupervised?!’ 😱Cordia daddy nearly toppled over on the spot; the imagined article headlines he would be forced to deal with in the coming days made his head spin.Noticing his father’s face that was turning green, Noah figured he was embarrassed. Not wanting to make the awkward situation even more awkward, Noah acted to disperse the crowd. He gently pushed Levi in the direction of the room the butler had prepared for him yesterday. The luggage Astar mommy sent for him yesterday would come in very handy for today’s trip.Levi’s thoughts were instantly redirected from the embarrassment that was his father-in-law to the fact that his baby was initiating physical contact with him. Ah, ah, baby touching his
