Chapter 214: Double Happiness 3
"Ha... I thought my stamina was already great... but it turns out I am still lacking compared to these squirts," Luis breathlessly uttered while leaning against a tree. Not far from him, little boys ranging from nine to thirteen years old are rolling around the vast grassy lawns.
How many hours was it? Luis lost count of the time that passed when he was playing around with these little pups. They are simply too hyperactive that he can’t keep up! They would run around the lawns, tackle each other, then roll around later. Especially now that he taught them how to do back flips since they saw him doing it once when he was playing around during the time that he was drunk. That is why they are virtually like pandas and monkeys infused when playing.
It was a complete chaos, seriously.
But it was a chaos that he liked best. He must admit that.
Its darkness had almost eaten the entire sky, and it was about time for their dinner feast. This is what all clans came up with. They will prepare a feast that they will share with other clans. A demonstration that even if they are living in their designated districts now, they will still bond and foster positive relationships. It was a good practice that Luis hoped would end up as a tradition they would pass down from generation to generation.
What a beautiful thought. However, only time can tell if that dream will be realized, so for now, the reincarnated Moon Elf Lord left it at that.
Amid the darkening sky and the noise of the boisterous boys, Luis craned his neck to look for Xagrien.
His eyes landed on the happily conversing bachelors not too far from him. He saw that Ilian and the Gab is preparing for the bonfire. It is indeed time to eat.
But where the hell was Xagrien? He is aware that Olyn and Rean accompanied Sibal and a few bachelors of Lune to give the share of the other clans in the dish they prepared for the exchange.
Luis is one hundred percent certain that Xagrien was not part of that group. He just saw his handsome brute happily conversing with his friends a while ago. "This is odd," Luis uttered lowly. He moved his ass in preparation for standing up.
His slender and fair neck was stretched beyond belief when his senses caught a presence from his back. The hair on his nape stood up, and his heart started to pick up pace.
"Xagrien, if you wanted to sneak up on me, then you better brush up your stealth skills, or perhaps you should have tried that before we became a thing," Luis said matter of fact.
However, something in the back of his head disagrees with his statement. From the very beginning, he already had a crush on this hunky-licious man. The mere presence of the man towards him is simply enormous.
Luis flinched when a hand was suddenly offered in front of his face. "Aren’t you supposed to be sitting beside me?"
"Why? I thought you were about to stand up earlier."
Luis’ smile was uncontrollable. "This man really knows how to read me like a book," the Moon Elf Lord’s heart couldn’t help but do a few somersaults.
Without any second thought, he grabbed the hand and used his full weight to pull Xagrien, but with the man’s sturdy stature, he hardly even made the man budge.
"I think any moment now, the dinner will arrive, so we must clean the kids up," Luis said to Xagrien. However, the man did not respond or move to approach the playing little boys. He was just looking at him, studying his entire face with a soft look in his gaze.
"What is it now?" Luis asked himself while slightly pouting his lips.
"You really like kids, huh?" Xagrien said dotingly.
This question made Luis think hard and out of the blue.
"It is not a matter of liking children or not. All child at their tender age needs to be taught and cared for while they are still young. In that way, they will not grow up into problematic adults and a bane in society. They are the future, so it is only right that they are equipped with the values they learned based on their experience," Luis fired off like a Gatling gun. Upon realizing that he was just babbling, he snappily covered his mouth. "Oh, pardon my nonsense."
"No, you got a point," Xagrien answered. "And I will always remember that."
Silently, Xagrien kept these words close in mind. He sticks to these principles when educating their children, for better or worse.
Luis hitched his breath when his handsome mate intertwined their fingers. Together, they cleaned the naughty little boys. Well, that is inaccurate. They acted like a trained chibi soldier when they were not playing. Luis was surprised. He was expecting that they would mess around a bit, but as it turns out, they are like tamed little puppies.
Right after all of the kids are cleansed, the representatives of the other clans come one after another with their shares of food. Not too long after, Olyn and Rean came back, and that was the start of their fun-filled binging.
"Pretty brother, try this! This is delicious!"
"Brother Hares said that this is healthy. This must be good for your baby."
"Try this too, Pretty Brother!"
"And this too!"
Everyone was mummed when food started to pile up on the Moon Elf Lord’s plate. Luis, too. He didn’t expect that he was this popular with these little puppies. But seeing that they are just innocently expressing their fondness to him, he gently lessons them.
"Okay, this much is enough. Let’s not waste food, okay? It won’t hurt if we will save leftovers so that we can eat later. Understand?"
The children answered in chorus, and that was when he was reminded how chaotic these kids were. Luis helplessly smiled. Unbeknownst to him, Xagrien was silently looking at him with a doting smile.
It was a simple exchange between the two couples, but the adults who knew those discreet signals could read through it. The Lune Clans have a variety of emotions on their faces. Rean was biting his upper and lower lips just to contain his giggle. Olyn, on the other hand, was as innocent as he could be. He is busy tending to Tate, the youngest of the little boys.
Luis was oblivious to the reactions of everyone around him. His focus was that he enjoyed the meal that he was having with the people around him. Plus, the fact that it confirmed that he was pregnant. Luis Lee is basically on cloud nine.
They ended their sumptuous feast on a light note, with everyone was full and happy. It was a surprise that the Lune Clans stopped the celebration early. But seeing the excited faces of the naughty yet well-behaved squirts as they make their way home, he can understand why.
Luis could only smile and laugh lowly.
"Pretty Brother, can I ask something?" a small voice was suddenly heard from below him. He looked down and saw a pair of white fluffy wolf ears twitching.
"Nine? What is it? Shouldn’t you be with your elder brother? It’s time to sleep now." Luis crouched down to level his face with the cute and fluffy pup.
"But I just want to ask one question. Can’t?" Nine tilted his head as he looked at Luis pleadingly. Olyn and Rean almost melted upon seeing the cute expression of the little wolf kid. Xagrien, on the other hand, has a slight smile on his lips.
Unable to contain the cuteness assault of the orc kid, Luis finally gave in, "Okay, ask away. Whatever you wanted to ask me."
Luis smiled broadly so that the child would not become nervous or overthink. However, it turned a little stiff after hearing the child’s words.
"Then, is it alright to think we will stay here permanently? It was nice to live in this place even though there were rude people. Here, we have friends from other clans, and they like us even though we are different from moon elves." Nine’s lengthy, innocent litany started. Rean, Olyn, and Xagrien were silent as they all listened to the truthful words of the child.
Nine reached for Luis’ sleeves and lightly tugged it. "Can I stay here with Pretty Brother? I think it was safe and fun wherever Pretty Brother was! I don’t want to go back to our old tribe. I want to be with Pretty Brother."
It is one thing to hear these words from an adult, but when it comes from a child, it is really heartbreaking.
Luis patted the fluffy head of Sibal’s little brother. "You can stay here with ease. Do not worry. If ever there is someone who dares to belittle you or kick you out, just say it to this Pretty Brother, and I will immediately sort them out."
"Sort them out?"
"It is a thing that I do with when cleaning garbage," Luis said. All this time, he is just silently watching if they ever change. But if they remained in their crooked ways, then Luis would have no choice but to use his iron hand.
"That is a bit scary, Pretty Brother."
Nine’s bushy white tails stood up, and his wolf ears perked up. But that does not matter since Pretty Brother will always be good to them.
His little innocent heart could feel the genuine care that the Pretty Brother has for them. It makes his heart light and full at the same time. Pretty Brother may think that what he is doing was a small thing but for them, who once lost their home, it was the greatest blessing that they could receive.
Nine held on Luis’ wrist and said with a smile so bright that it is like a sun in its prime. "My Lord, thank you for the comfortable bed and sturdy roof."
"Huh?" Luis looked at the small orc in front of him, his eyes wide. Somehow, he could feel his throat tightening.
"Pretty Brother, I swear that once I grow up, I will serve to protect you just like what you are doing to us now," After saying that, Nine waved his hands to bid goodbye and ran back to their house.
The innocent child was not aware of the emotional knots he caused to the adults.
