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 got pierced by his daughter’s reproachful glare and then shushed.
Cordia daddy, “…” QAQ ‘Why are you glaring at ME?! It’s that Astar boy that has no shame!! What did I do wrong?!’
Maery, (ꐦ °Д°) ‘What did you do wrong?! Do you know how rare this sweet treat is?! And yet you want to interrupt my sugar?! Get out!’
In contrast to Cordia daddy’s wide eyes and flaring nostrils, Astar daddy stared at the two newlyweds with squinted eyes. He gauged what was happening in front of him for a moment, but although they who were standing in front of the two could see it much better than the crowd in the back, it was still difficult to see any details due to the angle and Levi blocking their line of sight with his arm. Alas, a moment later, Astar daddy nodded his head in silent approval. Good, good. It looked like his son had studied well.
…Luckily, Astar daddy was a man of few words; otherwise, his observations might have caused Cordia daddy to faint from anger.
In the end, Levi finally showed mercy and released Noah's now red and delectably puffy mouth. After all, he couldn't let all these people see his baby looking so vulnerable and mouthwatering! This was something only for his, Levi’s, eyes!
His protectiveness and possessiveness would always trump his carnal desires.
Also, his baby’s soothing was starting to waver, and if it flickered out, Levi would be in trouble. His body was always especially reactive when it came to his baby, not listening to reason or his wishes. And he really didn’t want to get a big fat boner in front of the crowd.
He, Levi, was not a hypocrite, ah! Naturally, his big fat boner was only for his baby’s eyes! (/≧ω\)
With a strange mix of reluctance and determination, Levi moved his head back. As his mouth left his baby’s succulent lips, a thin silvery string of saliva spread between the two.
Noah raised his glassy red-rimmed eyes to look up at his newlywed husband.
This picture of a flushed and completely dazed beauty in front of Levi’s eyes was devastating. Levi’s breath hitched in his throat, and without a second thought, he pressed Noah’s head into his chest to hide him from view.
Levi took a deep breath to gather his strength of will and then set off marching towards the closest private room in the venue.
Noah clutched at Levi's shirt like a little animal hanging from a tree trunk, refusing to lift his burning face the entire way. His shallow breaths swallowed several mouthfuls of Levi’s cologne before enough oxygen managed to return to his head to once again form coherent thoughts.
But even these seemingly coherent thoughts were all over the place. Such as the first thought that came to his mind – Ah, ah! This rogue had coquettishly asked him to take responsibility like a pitiful little wife; however, his possessive actions domineeringly declared, “Not accepting no for an answer! Never letting go! You are mine now!”
So shameless!!! (⁄ ⁄> ︿ <⁄ ⁄)
But-but so cute, ah! (/≧ω\) ♡
And the second thought was even more random. Noah remembered how Levi had hidden him from view earlier with his body. Then he recalled the promise the other had made to pacify him two days ago: “Next time I kiss, I’ll make sure others can’t see.”
‘So he didn’t just say that to coax me!’ Noah’s eyes reddened even more, feeling moved that the other still remembered that seemingly inconsequential promise.
And then his mind flew away again on another tangent.
‘What kind of a love confession was that?!’
Blackie couldn’t help but nod his virtual head, ‘Right, right? Stupid as fuck!’
Noah, ‘Especially that inscription!’ >︿<
‘Tell me about it! “I really can’t?” Seriously?? Of all the choices like “I love you”, “Aris ♥ Levi”, “yours forever”, “can’t live without you”, and the like, that’s what he had engraved?!’ Ecstatic that his host and him could finally agree on something, Blackie nearly blurted out all his complaints then and there.
Noah’s lips pressed into a pout, ‘Caused me to misunderstand! My heart nearly cracked from that misleading love confession! Ah, ah! I still haven’t fully recovered from that near-heartbreak!’
Blackie’s internal tirade abruptly halted, ‘… … …. … we are not on the same page, are we?’
Noah, ‘Bah, who includes a plot twist in a love confession?! (⁄ ⁄> ﹏ <⁄ ⁄) Did you do this on purpose?! Bad Levi! Really bad! But… but… otherwise… it was actually… actually…’ (/≧ω\) ♡
Blackie, (눈_눈) ‘…. …. …You feel touched by it, don’t you?’
Noah burrowed his crimson cheeks deeper into Levi’s sturdy chest. This newlywed husband of his was so lovely!!! ♥♥♥♥
Blackie, (눈_눈) ‘…Figures. Soulmates through and through.’ Blackie suddenly felt really glad he kept his responses to himself!
Before Blackie could have some time to himself to mourn his own future, his annoying host went off on another tangent…
This husband of his… actually liked him back! (/≧▽≦)/ Happy~♥ So happy!!!
Amongst the blissful glee, something abruptly clicked in Noah’s head, and all the things that didn’t quite make sense before suddenly came to mind.
No wonder he had thought that Levi's acting was too much! It turned out that the other wasn't acting at all!!
No wonder Levi refused to marry anyone but him! How would he be willing to marry someone other than his sweetheart?!
No wonder Levi nearly had a mental breakdown when Noah had a close brush with death!
And that premarital agreement! Since his sis wasn't in a real relationship with Levi, why would there be so many corny things added into the contract? Levi must have added them in specifically for their marriage!!
The more Noah recalled, the more he wanted to dig his head into the sand out of shame. Ah, ah!! How could he have been so fricking blind?! How could he have mistaken this blatant pursuit as pampering of a little brother?!?
This husband of his kept following him around like a little tail! Kept staring at him all the time! Kept petting his head! And kept glaring at everyone who attempted to interrupt this world of two! How could he have missed something so obvious?!?
As bits and pieces of the last week fell into place inside Noah’s mind to form a complete picture, Noah’s initial glee and embarrassment slowly morphed into outrage.
No wonder Levi’s lower half kept raising its head! Which hot-blooded man wouldn't have a reaction down there when his crush was practically rubbing his ass on his crotch?!?
No wonder he thought Levi was especially sticky and liked to act intimate with him! Fricking hell! The other had been lowkey taking liberties with him all this time! (ノ꒪Д꒪)ノ︵ ┻━┻
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
Levi’s lower half throbbed in need, and yet instead of taking his darling, he could only take a long and deep breath to calm down the blood churning within his veins. In the end… ah, what could this pitiful horny husband do when this cockblocker just happened to be his own precious darling?? He could only indulge his mischievous little wife for now and get his payback in bed later… And besides, his baby had a point... He, Levi, must be all sweaty and smelly after an entire day of festivities… Ah, this wouldn’t do! >︿< His baby liked cleanliness! He must be nothing less than fragrant and sparkly clean for his precious darling! Their first time had to be perfect! His baby was already feeling reluctant and shy and fearful about their first time, so he, Levi, had to work extra hard to soothe and please his darling! ‘But, wait…’ Levi’s eyes narrowed in suspicion. Why was he suddenly getting a sense of déjà vu? (≖_≖) Say… di
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
