There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!

Chapter 185: Hopes and Future (3)

Xagrien and Luis’ lips parted when they were almost out of breath. Their hearts are beating fast at a unified pace. Now, their eyes looked drunk, but not because of the wine or the liquor-smelling breath of the Moon Elf Lord. They are high due to the large amount of oxytocin released from Luis’ "thank you" gift.

Xagrien made a low chuckle to spite himself. Just one kiss from his dark-green-eyed bearer, and he is already a goner.

"I graciously received the wine-like gratitude of the Moon Elf Lord," Xagrien said.

’Is this supposed to be a pun?’ Luis looked at his male while sporting a coquettish pout.

He felt a little shy, knowing that Xagrien smelled his breath. However, remembering how the other responded to him with great enthusiasm, he said to himself that he should drop the shy little virgin act.

"Just be thankful that I didn’t puke earlier, or you will get a taste of mixed grilled, stewed, and soup dishes..." Luis’ voice trailed off as he suddenly remembered something.

"Shit!" The romantic air instantly vanished to the Moon Elf Lord’s cursing, "I forgot to bring your portion! I saved it for you, and yet I..."

Xagrien held Luis’ waist, making the bearer stop his litany. "It’s okay. We can still eat that tomorrow, and it’s not like I am hungry."

He looked at Luis with the same doting eye as before.

"But Luis, I have a question."

Hearing this, Luis didn’t hesitate to look at Xagrien’s purple eyes. The gaze reflected through those orbs was soft like he was looking at something precious.

’Well, I am indeed a treasure. I can’t say anything against that!’ Luis thought in an attempt to calm down his pounding heart.

But what he didn’t expect is that Xagrien perfected his methods to make Luis fall harder.

The brute held him on both sides of his waist and said, "Is it rational to feel happy knowing that your lover thinks of you when he is facing delicious food?"

The stopper Luis put up to control his heart was utterly useless after hearing that. He just looks at Xagrien with an open-mouthed wonder.

Luis is torn on how to respond to that. He is simply stuck in the lovestruck zone with his eyes wide open. Still, before he can come up with an answer, Xagrien immediately says his follow-up.

"Maybe yes. Because, in my case, I also want to share everything with my lover."

Xagrien felt his head would pop due to the warmth covering his face. He knows for sure that he is blushing because shame has started to kick in.

"Let’s just enter our house so you can finally rest."

Luis knew that Xagrien was running away, but he just left the male be because he could interpret through the bright red ears of this tan-skinned moon elf that he was embarrassed.

The slightly slouching back of the big man looked cute, in Luis’ opinion.

"Oh, Xagrien," he could only utter. At least now, both of them have their own share of embarrassing moments for today.

Xagrien gently guided him to enter their "love nest." Yes, Luis already considered it their lovenest because his beloved male god made it for him.

Damn, he had never felt so beautiful before this. Xagrien made him feel special, especially when Xagrien said that he mainly made this house.

If the outside style attracted him, then the interior piqued his desire to live in it.

The grey stone floor and walls were so well-polished that Luis was inclined to walk barefoot. The window frames are all made from his reinforced lumber, which gives off a light brown glow.

As far as he can see, there are two rooms on the first floor, then the kitchen and dining area. It is a modern-styled home. Someone is keenly listening to his mumblings.

Letting his eyes wander in the entirety of the first floor made him realize that the furniture available was minimal. There are wooden couches, coffee tables, and narrow high tables with the night pearls in the receiving area.

"Well, I’m sorry if the furnishings are not complete. I finished the house a few days ago, but we went to the Shane Greenwoods, so I didn’t get to complete the furniture. And when we arrived, I focused on the house’s finishing touches for you to have a comfortable place to rest in so..." Xagrien hurriedly explained when he realized that Luis’ gaze was fixed on the pieces of furniture he had made.

Unlike Sibal, woodwork is not his strong suit. He is more skilled in building houses since this has been his dream since he was little.

"What are you fumbling about? This much is already perfect! It is like a clean slate where we can slowly decorate it." Luis exclaimed. "We have all the time in the world to slowly add our things, our memories in this home."

Xagrien cackled. His heart is getting fond of the idea proposed by Luis. That is nice, too.

"You really have a way with your words. I can never beat that." Xagrien scooped Luis up and carried him as if they were newlyweds. "Let’s go. I will clean you up before you lay on our bed."

Luis felt his every cell became ticklish after hearing that. ’Will they do it?’

He is a little bit tired because his entire day is filled with action. Still, he doesn’t mind sparing a little energy to "communicate" with Xagrien before they totally hit the bed.

They climbed to the second floor using the simple wooden staircase. There, Luis saw three other rooms on the second level, which puzzled him because they had many rooms, and he couldn’t think of a reason why.

Are they going to sleep in different rooms? Alarms are suddenly blaring inside his head. How could that be? They have already seen, touched, and tasted each other; what is the use of acting conservative at this point?

While Luis is deep in his thoughts, Xagrien brought him to a broad, spacious room directly connected to a balcony. That side’s sliding door was opened, welcoming the light coming from the night pearls outside.

Luis saw a wide wooden bed that was the size of a queen-sized bed. It is covered with soft and velvety animal wool. Just one look and he knew that this must be their master’s bedroom.

"I thought we would be sleeping in different rooms..."

Xagrien quickly shot him down. "Never, Luis. Never. You should start conditioning yourself to experience having someone on your side. And that someone should only be me."

"Then why did you build a lot of rooms?"

Xagrien just looked at him with complete smugness. "What do you think?"

"Yah! Didn’t I say babies are not made overnight?!"

Luis retaliated, but Xagrien just shrugged his shoulders and continued walking with the helpless Luis in his arms. In his head, Xagrien is confident future will not disappoint him.

Without stopping, they entered a connecting room, and Luis saw it was a bathroom with a bathtub and other essentials inside.

"I am ashamed that this is the only part that is not purely my work," Xagrien said. The things in the bathroom were added by Nicol and the temple’s artisan. That is the only concession he made since Nicol told him the bathtub and the toilet were something Luis had taught them before.

The only thing that he worked on here was the installation.

"Why stress yourself over that? It’s great that Nicol helped you. Meaning, he accepted you by now." Luis said as he got out of Xagrien’s arms.

He was slightly startled when he felt that Xagrien was starting to undress him, but that passed swiftly as his lover did it with his experienced hands.

Xagrien used his lightning power to warm up the prepared water in the tub, just low-key flexing his improved control over his elemental powers. Luis let himself be swayed by the moment, as if everything about this is natural.

Well, it is, indeed, natural since, from now on, the two of them will be living as mates. They will live together, eat together, shower together, and do "that thing" anytime they want now!

They are basically living like a married couple.

Luis looked at Xagrien, who was lightly scrubbing his arms like a slave. Well, a slave of love, that’s it. Well, he doesn’t mind getting a husband this hot.

Moon elves don’t really have proper wedding rituals, right? When couples declare that they consummate their relationship as mates through sex. It was only followed by banquets as a sign of congratulatory to the new mates.

Maybe he can give this man a little something...

Luis found it hard to suppress his smile just thinking about it.

"What, why are you smiling like that?" Xagrien asked

"Nothing, just thinking of what we should do in the future," Luis replied; it was half truth and half lie because he didn’t want to spoil the fun. "I think that by the looks of it, the city will probably be complete more than a week from now. Then, we will focus on bolstering our general strength for our security. Somewhere between those busy schedules, we will still find time to be together in this house. Isn’t that romantic?" Luis found himself rambling.

Xagrien felt that Xagrien had stopped cleaning him, so he looked up and saw that the man looked at him, obviously not believing him. However, he played dumb and said, "Why? Are you not eager to spend time with me?"

"Luis, you shouldn’t stress himself about the future. Didn’t you know that with all the flies hovering around you, I should be thinking how I could keep you by my side?"

Luis looked at Xagrien with a broad, surprised look in his eyes.

"You know that patriarch Nihil is trying to push his unwilling youngest son to me?!"

However, the nod he expects from his lover doesn’t appear; instead, it is replaced with a cold expression on his face. "There are others who are trying to steal you from me?"

’Oh, shoot. It seems like it will be a long explanation from now on.’ Luis inwardly cursed.

And so, the nervous Moon Elf Lord proceeded to explain himself. Luis didn’t know when their talk ended, but when the morning came, he woke up with his man’s arms wrapped around him.
