Chapter 631: Side Story 1. The Twilight Zone - 13

"Bas..." Zein tilted his head and ran his fingers down Bassena’s wriggling back muscles. "Can’t you do harder?"

The kisses on Zein’s neck stopped when the esper raised his head and looked at Zein with a slight frown. "No--Doctor Nam told us to do it..." he paused and thrust slightly, "--moderately."

Zein groaned in frustration. Not that it wasn’t good, but when you already knew how good the green-zone food was, the lower-zone food would feel tasty. He looked down with a frown, trying to twist his hip but got hold in place by the esper’s strong hands.

Bassena was also feeling frustrated. Not that he wasn’t satisfied, but he was full of concern. Zein was not as sturdy as before, and he was still trying to adapt to a body without mana. But trying to recall how he did it with someone else before meeting Zein felt like cheating, so he didn’t want to do it, and before he managed to adapt, they found out about the pregnancy.

Meaning he should become even more careful.

Bassena was serious when he said he was afraid he’d ’break’ the child in the future. Naturally, he was even more fearful of hurting the child--children--before they were even born.

Unfortunately, Zein wasn’t very keen on this change.

"Haa..." Bassena took a deep breath and straightened his back, looking down at the guide while gripping the lean waist. "It seems like I’m losing my touch if I can’t even make you feel good in all intensity."

Zein raised his brow when Bassena slid back slightly and twisted his hips, opening his mouth to ask what the esper was trying to do--except that before he could ask it out, he was already moaning.

"Oh!" Zein gasped, gripping the pillow hard as his back arched involuntarily. His eyes widened at the unexpected pleasure of a seemingly slow movement, but he couldn’t help but laugh at the esper’s concentrating face.

He laughed, and moaned, and felt good--finally regaining that satisfaction level that got rid of the piling frustration. He wasn’t even feeling nauseous that morning--how nice.

Too bad they could only do it once. Zein wasn’t feeling particularly exhausted, but they learned from experience that he would be later if they continued. Getting Bassena’s worshiping kisses all over his body before being cleaned up was a blissful bonus.

Yeah...this pampered life wasn’t bad.

You won’t have many chances to relax once your babies are born, so just enjoy your fiance’s dedication now--was what Ludya told him the other day.

And so he did, exhaling slowly in satisfaction while leaning back against his esper’s chest inside a warm tub.

"Feeling good?" Bassena made sure for the third time since they entered the bathroom.

It was annoying at first, but Zein gradually thought it was adorable since he could see how concerned the esper was about him. "Yeah," Zein closed his eyes and let the warmth envelop him, enjoying the soothing cypress smell coming from the bath salt. "I need this to face the meeting this afternoon."

Bassena chuckled at how Zein had already scrunched his face at the thought of going through another meeting with all those clan heads, conglomerates, and the government. Unfortunately, while Bassena could help Zein in other matters, he couldn’t with this one.

Maybe after they were officially married--but before that, well...

"Ah," Zein, who wanted to talk about something other than his impending boredom, suddenly recalled something. "What were you saying earlier before we did it?"

They were on the bed, waking up together. It had become a rare occasion lately, with Zein waking up later and Bassena always eager to prepare breakfast before Zein even woke up. They were talking about random things while Zein was ogling Bassena’s chest and swarmed with horny thoughts, prompting him to kiss the esper mid-sentence.

"Oh, just...I thought it was time for us to pick names for our twins," Bassena shrugged.

"Names?"

"Yeah..." Bassena scooped warm water and poured it over Zein’s shoulder. "Since we already found out their genders, I wondered if you’re already thinking of names."

Zein raised his brow. "Me?" he glanced up at the esper, smirking. "That sounds more like you."

Planning for stuff, including baby names, was right up Bassena’s alley.

"Uhh--well, you’re right, but..."

"Why? Do you have something in mind already?"

"No, just..." Bassena fidgeted slightly; the water splashed around his wriggling feet. "I was thinking...if you want to use your brothers’ names..."

Zein frowned and turned his head to look at the nervous esper. "Why would I do that?"

"Huh?"

"Why would I use their names for our babies?"

Those names didn’t even bore any special meaning. They were names Zein decided to call them after reading something random in Alma’s house since those accursed parents did not bother to even tell him the twins’ names. He could even believe it if they weren’t given a name in the first place.

But Bassena didn’t know about it, and he still subconsciously connected Zein’s little brothers--whom he never met--with his sons--whom he had yet to meet.

"Well, uhh..."

Zein shifted slightly so he could feel more comfortable looking at Bassena--so he could flick the esper’s forehead. "Just because they are twins, doesn’t mean they would be replacements for my brothers," Zein said sternly. "They will be their own person, so what’s the point of naming them after pre-existing twins?"

Bassena blinked. Honestly, up to that point, he thought that Zein was happy about having twin boys because they reminded him of his little brothers.

It wasn’t?

"Umm..."

Zein scoffed at Bassena’s dumbfounded expression. "Even if those rascals somehow got reincarnated as our children, the life they will get will be different, and..." Zein looked down at his necklace. "I don’t want to ’replace’ them."

Bassena flinched, and Zein flicked his forehead again before stroking the platinum hair softly with a smile.

"Aiden and Hayden will always be Aiden and Hayden to me--the part of me that accompanied my early life, my hard but fulfilling past. As for these children..." the guide touched his abdomen. It was still flat, but the prominent abdominal muscle had started to disappear. Beneath the layer of muscle and fat, two lives were waiting to greet them. "They will be the part of life I share with you."

Bassena bit his lips and placed his hand over the guides. Soon--the Doctor said they would be able to feel the twins soon, kicking and everything. And once autumn came...

"They will be the future. An easier, but not less fulfilling future," Zein said, placing his other hand on top of Bassena’s. "They are four different people that are precious to me," he chuckled. "Wouldn’t it be better that way? The more the merrier."

"...I love you so much," Bassena laid his head on the guide’s shoulder, sighing.

"I know that," Zein smirked, kissing his adorable fiance’s head as the man laughed quietly against his skin. "But speaking about names..."

Bassena raised his head swiftly. "Yes?"

Zein tilted his head. "Weren’t there some in your mother’s diary?"

Bassena widened his eyes. "You remember?"

"Yeah, I don’t mind using them."

"R-really?"

Zein smiled slightly at Bassena’s reaction. Wasn’t it pretty clear that he wanted to use those names? But the fact that he wanted to be considerate of Zein’s wish was pretty endearing.

As expected, his esper was the cutest.

"I’m not good with names, anyway. They will have Ishtera on them already, so it seems neat to have something from your side too," Zein shrugged, speaking lightheartedly so Bassena wouldn’t get burdened.

What he said was true though--as long as it wasn’t a complicated name that his tongue found difficult, he wouldn’t mind anything.

"...they might sound like Southern Kingdom’s name," Bassena muttered while fiddling with the guide’s fingers.

Zein raised his brow and looked at the esper incredulously. "You mean they’ll be like us? Wow, who would have thought~"

"Ngh--you’re teasing me now?" Bassena pursed his lips, which only got him ended up in a deadlock--with a hair ruffling as a bonus.

"Because you look cute," Zein whispered, causing the esper to groan again.

"Names?" Zein blinked dumbfoundedly inside the car, getting a deja vu.

He never thought he would have to talk about names for the second time that day--certainly not while in the car with Radia and Ludya on their way to the afternoon meeting in Rexon.

"Yeah," Radia nodded while offering him a bowl of dried fruits.

Zein muttered in a daze. "Again?"

"Huh?"

"Ah, no," he took a piece of dried fruit and chuckled. "We just talked about our baby names this morning."

Ludya smiled. "At that stage already, I see."

Zein shrugged. Well, it was almost June already, so thinking about names seemed appropriate. Not that they had decided on one--two. "So, what’s this about a name? What name?"

"What else?" Radia popped a dried strawberry in his mouth, smirking. "We need to know what we will call the main city of the Far East."
