MasukNoah patted the dolphin he was riding, and it understood which direction Noah wanted to go from the pats. It slowly, carefully slid towards Levi until Noah was in arms reach of Levi.
“Or would you prefer to ride together?” Noah very thoughtfully suggested.
Levi’s dark eyes suddenly lit up into resplendent pools of blue. The gloom replaced by intense heat.
“Ah, ah, Blackie, see that excitement? Gosh, he is just like a little kid!”
(/≧ω\) ♥
‘Host… I feel sorry for you.’ (눈_눈)
Afraid that his darling would change his mind, Levi immediately jumped right behind him onto the dolphin. What ‘didn’t know how to mount’? This bro was clearly a pro!
Levi wrapped both of his arms around Noah’s waist and pulled the other closer until he was sitting very snugly in Levi’s embrace.
Noah was at first bewildered and exasperated, then it all turned into amusement. Who knew that riding a dolphin could make such a big man so nervous? He was practically clinging to him, Noah, for dear life!
‘Pfft, really like a little kid!‘
Noah bit his lips to prevent a giggle from escaping and decided to feign stupidity. Let this elder brother keep his manly pride.
Blackie: ‘…No need to feign stupidity, you are stupid enough as it is.’ ಥ‿ಥ
At any rate, it’s not like Noah was suffering due to his brother-in-law’s tight nerves. The arms the other had around Noah’s waist were rather comfortable, neither too loose nor too tight. Yes, Levi’s chest was practically glued to his back, but that hard 8-pack of his wasn’t uncomfortable. It just felt warm and sturdy.
Levi agreed – ‘Ah, ah, his baby fit into his arms so comfortably! ♥ It’s a perfect fit!’
Wasn’t that proof that the two of them were absolutely made for each other?
Blackie: ‘I applaud your very conclusive proof. All the scientists should learn from you – if they were half as good as you, they would have long proven that the world was flat.’ 👍
Actually, feeling that godly 8-pack continually rubbing against his back made Noah think that perhaps he too should hit the gym? Or maybe not, what would he do with an 8-pack? Who was he, the asexual, forever-alone dude, trying to impress? Naah, that time and effort were better spent elsewhere.
Noticing how his baby wasn’t showing any adverse reactions to their current position, Levi fully relaxed and contentedly put his chin on Noah’s shoulder.
Ah, it felt sooo good! His baby’s body was so soft and flexible! So warm! Even smelled heavenly!
This was the meaning of life!
As the dolphin started to swim around, Levi closed his eyes in bliss. Even if he died here and now, he’d die without any regrets.
No, wait… of course, he’d die with regrets! What would happen to his baby if he died??? Even if he put aside the matter of him never getting into his baby’s pants, if he was gone, wouldn’t some other bastard eat his little cabbage?!? No way!! He absolutely couldn’t die before his baby!!!
On the sidelines, Trey watched the two like a hawk, but inside, his heart was bleeding. He wanted to hug the little one too! He wanted to rub his nose into that soft hair too! QAQ
Bodyguard life was so hard! Not only was he unable to play with his little employer, he even had to watch a maniac brother-in-law shoving dog food down his throat 24/7!!!
The large dolphin that the duo was riding on very happily glided near the surface. All the other dolphins joined it in a race, surrounding Noah and Levi from both sides.
Sometimes the dolphins would dive deeper into the water, sometimes they would fully surface, and sometimes they would even jump through the air.
Noah was having the time of his life, feeling like he was on a rollercoaster ride. It was just that…
“Geez, Blackie, what is that hard thing brother-in-law is carrying in his pocket? It keeps poking my back.” Noah, too preoccupied with a lovely dolphin ride to pay it any serious thought, casually asked. “Should I tell him to put it away?”
“Don’t tell him to put it away!” Blackie was dying inside from second-hand embarrassment.
Noah raised his eyebrows at the system’s adamant rejection, “Why?”–he snickered– “You make it sound like it’s his dick or something.”
‘…What if I told you that, indeed, it is?’ Blackie took a long mental breath before responding, “I am just trying to spare you from the embarrassment. Because it’s…”–Blackie struggled to explain–“…it’s the dolphin’s fin.”
Blackie: (°ㅂ°╬) ‘This pig of a brother-in-law! You totally owe me one!!’
Noah: “…isn’t the dolphin’s fin behind brother-in-law?” (눈_눈) ‘Oi, oi, do you take me for a fool?’
Blackie’s bullshitting ability was not to be underestimated, “Doesn’t the hard thing only poke you when you slide back? That’s because each time that happens, your brother-in-law moves back to sit behind the fin to accommodate your fat ass.”
“…for real?” Noah squinted his eyes in doubt.
“Yep.”
“Gosh, brother-in-law is so considerate!” (ᗒᗜᗕ)
Blackie nearly choked on non-existent saliva “…Yep. Very…”–he struggled to spit out the last word–“…considerate.”
“Thanks for telling me! I wouldn’t have even known he was so thoughtful.” Noah nodded. Thanks should be given where due.
Blackie: ‘…ok… now I’m starting to feel a bit guilty.’ (・―・)
If Levi had been a part of this mental conversation, then he would have very adamantly scolded the lying AI, “And you should! How could you so shamelessly trick my poor baby?!”
(ꐦ  ̄︿ ̄)
Blackie: “Whose sake do you think I’m doing this for?!”
(ノ꒪Д꒪)ノ︵ ┻━┻
“Hmph! You think a man of my intellect wouldn’t secure himself in case of a boner that he totally saw coming? Remember when I was buying swimming trunks? You know what else I bought? – A perfect excuse. What’s poking my baby in the back might be my dick, but I am indeed carrying a hard stick in my pocket.”
( ゚Д゚) “That…! Is actually fucking genius!”
“Mn.” (¬‿¬)
“But what did you actually buy?”
“What do you think?”
🤔 “…A dildo?”
“No! Why would I buy a dildo?? The only thing going up that sweet little ass is me!!” (ꐦ▔皿▔)
“You are a pervert, and it’s a hard stick! It was the obvious choice!” ╮(╯∀╰)╭
“And how would being caught with a dildo be better than being caught with a boner?!”
“…alright. I see your point. Then, what DID you buy?”
“A selfie stick.”
“Dude… I would rather be caught with a boner than a selfie stick!!” 😂
(눈_눈) “…and this is why I’ll be happily riding into the sunset with my baby while you stay forever alone.”
Blackie who actually has no comeback:
(ノಥ益ಥ)ノ ┻━┻
As he watched this tall, dark, and fierce man blankly hug Noah’s frail body, Fynn felt an overwhelming sense of defeat.Astar Levi might not be qualified to pursue Cordia Aris. But he, Fynn, wasn’t qualified either – his own feelings couldn’t even compare to the ones of an “unqualified” person. What face did he have to continue his pursuit?How could he convince Noah that he was the better choice, when even he, himself, didn’t believe it?Astar Levi might be all kinds of mad and shameless; he migh
“Understand?” Noah’s beautiful honey-colored eyes curved, watching Levi with a pure and clean gaze of a little sheep, utterly oblivious to their impending fate of getting eaten clean, with not even bones remaining.Levi repeatedly nodded, “I understand!”Noah eyed Levi, confirmed that the other was no longer feeling down, and then nodded satisfied, “As long as you understand. Every problem has a solution. Don’t let people who don’t even know you pin nonsense adjectives to you.”Levi ke
At that moment, Noah finally realized why his pitiful brother-in-law looked so undead in the morning. Not only was his sleep quality poor, getting tormented by nightmares, but he even ended up destroying his room!How horrible would one feel if, in a blink of an eye, they destroyed their own home?!Never mind the stress, pitiful brother-in-law was the one who lost the most in this accident, yet instead of mourning his own loss, he even had a crushing sense of regret and guilt! Feeling as if it was his fault, as if there was something wrong with him!
After visiting his father, Noah took a minute to send a message to Fynn, telling him to drop by the manor so that they could further discuss the case. He also updated his social status to say he was resting at home, but otherwise fine.After that, he recorded and sent a long and touching video message to Trey, ensuring him that everything was fine, and he would keep him updated on the happenings. He also encouraged Trey to properly rest and recuperate, apologized for getting him into this mess, and thanked him for his hard work both verbally and monetarily with a thick electronic envelope of cash. He also ordered a get-well gift basket to be sent to his hospital room.
While making their way towards the study, Noah couldn’t help but inquire, “What happened to your manor?”Levi avoided his eyes and pretended he hadn’t heard his question. Noah waited for his response, and only after a long while had passed did he realize that the other had no intention of responding.“Brother?” Noah tugged at Levi’s sleeve, but the other lunged to knock on the study door as if chased by a flesh-eating zombie.Noah stared at the fleeing brother-in-law speechlessly, feeling a bit am
After the questioning, the man returned to his post, leaving the quartet in silence. They would need to follow the chain of command further up to find out which superior ordered this most recent aggressive recruitment.However, before the four could discuss their following moves, a large light screen popped up in front of them without any warning.On the other side of the screen, in a black leather chair, sat a cold middle-aged woman with short black hair. Her looks were average, however, the way she carried herself was not. She only sat there quietly, but her manner was more imposing than most men.
