There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!
Chapter 72: Testing the Limits (4)

Chapter 72: Testing the Limits (4)

"You need to be careful of some people among the clans. Some of them have haughty ambitions and they might try to manipulate you and harm you for the sake of their interests. I heard all of that from the same clan that attacked Ilian," Xagrien exposed just a part of the things that he has to say. He thought that it wasn’t the right time yet. "That is all."

"Oh," Luis said. He would believe that this is everything that Xagrien has to say. That is if Xagrien weren’t evading his stares.

Even the way Xagrien is speaking, it is obvious that he is being careful with his words.

If it was before when he was still haunted by the rejections that he experienced, then Luis will immediately give up and tell himself that Xagrien is not interested in him. However, the present is different.

Luis would worm his way to Xagrien’s confession if needed! This is a test for the two of them!

But for now, Luis acted as if he didn’t notice that Xagrien was holding back.

"I am a little aware that there are some radical clans. But you don’t have to worry, I am prepared to manage them later." Luis answered and he added. "I also have an idea that you are the one who assaulted those warriors."

On the other hand, Xagrien listened to Luis, visibly relaxed.

"Should I praise you for stripping them off of the evidence?" Luis smirked. "If you leave them with their leather armor then the burn marks will be seen and it will automatically point to you, right?"

"Yes," Xagrien answered almost instantly.

"Did you do it so it will not cause any trouble for me?" Luis asked in a quick manner.

"Yes,"

"I see." This time, Luis and Xagrien were drawn to each other’s gaze.

Truthfully speaking, Luis mustered all of his self-restraint to make sure he wouldn’t feel lost in that purple pool in Xagrien’s eyes.

"You know that even though there’s no evidence that will not stop them to assume that it was your work, right?"

"En," Xagrien answered.

"Then what if those clans approach me with their shady intentions, they want to manipulate me into hating you, what will you do?" Luis asked if as he was a poacher laying a trap.

Xagrien’s face instantly turned dark and said with gritted teeth, "I will kill them."

"Why would you kill them?"

"It was to protect you. Moon elf lord."

’Protect me or protect my feelings for you?’ Luis wanted to ask that but he bit his tongue to stop himself. He observed that Xagrien’s answer gets quicker and quicker. When he thought that the time was ripe, Luis dropped the bomb.

"Then why would you want to protect me?"

"Because I-" Xagrien immediately stopped himself. All that he did was stare at Luis in disbelief. "Because you are the moon elf lord." He tried to collect himself.

However, that doesn’t stop his blush from spreading from his pointy moon elf ears and to his gorgeous face.

Luis did his best not to laugh out loud.

"Look, don’t give me the reason that I am the moon elf lord. I have lots of subordinates who willingly protect me but none of them looked at me the same way you did."

He even actively showed his skin but most of them looked at him as a kid because of his juvenile look since he hasn’t done the Name Proclamation Ceremony yet!

’Now wait a minute,’ a diabolical thought flashed in his mind. What if he pushed more of Xagrien’s buttons?

"Did you know that I bathed in front of my subordinates..." Luis sensually added the last word, "Naked."

And that flipped Xagrien’s switch.

"Who-!" The silver-haired male god didn’t realize that his voice raised a few octaves.

However, the mitch moon elf lord was unfazed.

"Secret." Luis smiled the way saints would smile. Luis felt amazing seeing the rich expression that he was seeing on Xagrien’s face.

The times when this guy frustrated and teased him flashed back like a film inside his head and it made the feeling ten times better!

Xagrien, this unromantic jerk was confirmed to be interested in him, at least!

It wasn’t a direct confession but at least he can somehow get it from the reaction.

Luis felt the area of his chest.

But that alone can set this heart beating like crazy.

Maybe that is better than literally getting that ’word’ from Xagrien’s lips. Because if that happens, maybe he will lose it.

Shit. Can’t he take a break from this storm called romance? Everything is easy when he is just horny.

"Okay, we spent quite a long time talking about this. Let’s continue our search." Luis was about to fly away when suddenly a huge warm hand grabbed his wrist.

"Where do you think you are going, my moon elf lord?" Xagrien’s low manly voice whispered in his pointy ears. It ticked a little so his ears twitched.

"Oh, what is the meaning of this?" Luis blinked his phoenix-shaped eyes to appear innocent.

But Xagrien is not having any of it.

"That is what I should be asking you. You must do your side of the deal."

"But I told you that we need to be honest with each other, right? Don’t worry I won’t be egging you to divulge your secret. You can keep it. Enjoy!" Luis said with a smile on his face.

But deep inside, he was sweating bullets because he knew where this was going.

"Okay, let’s go and work-" Luis’ tried to escape but he was held tightly by Xagrien. He tried to pull himself out of the male’s grasp but it fell through the moment he heard Xagrien’s words.

"You are my type."

"Huh?!" This time, it was Luis’ turn to burn his face. Contrary to Xagrien whose complexion was olive brown, Luis’ creamy white skin made the blush even more noticeable.

From the neck, face to the tips of his ears all of it has turned pink. If his eyes weren’t clear and bright, then one will think that he chugged a tequila based on the redness on his face.

"The moon elf lord is my type." Xagrien reiterated. "Didn’t you say that when you found someone who is aesthetically pleasing? However, I think I found you pleasing in a much deeper sense, not just your face, my moon elf lord. How would you define that?"

If Luis dropped one bomb to catch Xagrien off guard, then Xagrien used two, no, three nukes to shake Luis’ existence.

Luis’ mind is dysfunctional at this moment.

His heart beats wildly and he can feel his entire body is hot. Luis was sweltering even though the breeze in the forest was far from hot or humid.

"Yaaaah!" The moon elf lord who is facing a mental shut down due to excessive stimulation by Xagrien can only yell.

Luis’ inside is not that different from the outside. It was messy to the highest degree too. But to sum it all up, Luis is on cloud nine.

On the other hand, Xagrien’s eyes reflected obvious amusement at the new expression that he is seeing from the small face of the moon elf lord.

"Now that I honestly told you that, don’t you think it should be your turn now?" Xagrien said smiling even though his blush did not subside at all.

This instantly snapped Luis out of his daze.

"You’re supposed to say everything that you like about me to complete your confession, you know." He replied. Luis is biting his lower lip for two reasons. To wake himself up if this was a dream and to stop himself from smiling.

Winner! The moon elf lord is the winner!

"Don’t ask for too much, my lord."

"Oh, okay." Luis just answered, not caring that Xagrien turned him down at all. ’Hihihi!"

"Don’t laugh, moon elf lord!" Xagrien said sternly but it only made the ’hihihi’ of the bearer louder.

Xagrien ruffled his hair as if he was stressed out. "What should I do with you?"

"Don’t mind me, I am still celebrating my wins. Hihihi." All of Luis’ frontal teeth are in full show. That is how elated he is.

"Say it!" Xagrien tried to egg him.

"You’re not good at forcing someone, Xagrien." Luis mischievously mocked.

No matter how stern Xagrien’s voice was, his grasp on Luis’ wrist never hurt.

’And here I thought this guy has no gentle side.’ Luis whispered deep inside.

It’s a pity that Xagrien doesn’t say the things that he liked about Luis.

"Okay, I’ll say it. Calm down or I’ll pinch your nipples, Xagrien." Luis said with a giggle. "Wait, don’t tell me you liked me the moment I..." he then motioned, pinching Xagrien’s nipples.

"Moon elf lord." Xagrien called in a serious tone.

"My moon elf lord." Luis shamelessly corrected. Emphasizing the word ’my’.

Xagrien remained silent and expressionless.

"Alright, I’ll be serious." Luis closed his eyes and he immersed himself in the rhythm of his heart.

For the first time in his two lives, he felt that a part of his burden was lifted off of his chest. Luis doesn’t know at present that there is a small change in the spirit of the Tree of Life and he doesn’t care at all because right now he wanted to let Xagrien know what he truly felt about him.

Luis smiled and confessed.

"Xagrien, you unromantic brute, I-,"

[My lord, I think I came across something weird.] A familiar voice came out of the telepathic connection. "Olyn," Luis dazedly said the name of the voice’s owner.

"What do you mean Olyn?" Xagrien’s forehead crumpled after hearing someone else’s name.

’Oh shit, he is mad.’ Luis whispered to himself after seeing the changing colors on male god’s face.

"He said that he found something." Luis guiltily made a peace sign at Xagrien.
