Luca POV 17 (Part 2) (Mild NSFW)
“By the way, did you buy this chocolate yourself? Do you like chocolate, Zagan?”
“I wouldn’t say that I especially like it. I’m not a huge fan of things that are too sweet. I like the taste of bitter chocolate, though, and since the city’s been pushing Valentine’s Day, I thought I might as well participate a bit.”
“Participate a bit? Were you planning on giving it to someone?”
“No, it was for me. I’d planned on having some on the fourteenth, but… is it weird that I bought some for myself?”
“No. It’s important to reward yourself.”
Aaah, that gave me a fright. For a second there, I thought there was someone Zagan wanted to give chocolate to. I was glad that wasn’t the case. Thinking about it though, since he didn’t know the individual meaning behind each Valentine’s Day gift, it was possible that he’d give someone something other than chocolate too… the same as he’d invited me today.
Ignoring all that, I gave him a smile, and Zagan, who’d tilted his head, nodded as if satisfied.
“In the end though, I’m not eating it by myself. Have another, Luca.” He broke off and handed me another piece.
This time, I was careful not to let our fingers touch, taking it from him and quickly eating it.
The bitterness of the cacao and the slight sweetness brought out a rich flavor – it was delicious. Anything eaten with Zagan was as delicious, as if it were a five star meal.
As I reveled in the taste, I heard the happy sounds of children nearby. Speaking of which, around us were all kinds of playground equipment and children playing. There were parents nearby as well.
It was a dazzling sight. One I would have never noticed before because colour had seemed faded in my eyes. It was Zagan who made me realise that this was real and that they were real.
“When was the last time I witnessed such a peaceful scene…?” The words slipped out, perhaps because deep down I wanted Zagan to hear them.
I shouldn’t tell him though — about the endless loops and the days filled with despair. I shouldn’t make him carry that burden. Because look, the kind Zagan, despite his expressionless face, still turned to look at me.
“Was the palace such a bad place?”
“No, nothing like that. It’s just that my heart was always filled with impatience and anxiety. But it all went away when I met you.”
“I haven’t done anything though.”
“Fufu, that’s right. I just started feeling like that on my own.”
“I… see.” Zagan nodded as if he’d reached the decision that he shouldn’t pry anymore and handed me another piece of chocolate.
Though it didn’t show on his face, it felt like he was trying to comfort me. Thankful for his kindness, I took the chocolate and put it in my mouth. It was incredibly delicious.
The taste of the chocolate naturally brought a smile to my lips, and seeing that, Zagan nodded. It was as if seeing me cheer up left him feeling satisfied.
I can’t, how cute can he be? I really, really like him.
Afterwards we talked about my family and my childhood for a while. I wanted to let him know that I had a great childhood and a loving family so he didn’t need to worry.
“By the way, what was your childhood like, Zagan? Did you ever get the chance to play like that? Or did you suffer constantly from discrimination? I want to know more about you, so it would make me happy if you could tell me about yourself. If you don’t want to talk about it though, you don’t have to push yourself.”
“It’s not that I can’t say, but there are some things that should be kept hidden.”
“I don’t mind. You can skip anything you don’t want to talk about.”
At my urging, he told me about his childhood in a matter-of-fact way. He said that when he was three, he was confined to the basement of his home and that he had a father and a younger sister. That his birthday was on July 8th and that every year his father would get him a present. He said that he’d liked all the gifts that he’d gotten, but he was happiest the year he got an automata-making kit. Hearing that, as the one who’d suggested that present behind the scenes, made me happy as well. Then he told me that at age nine, he left his house and spent the next six years living by himself in the Great Etoile Forest.
It felt like he was trying to hide his identity. Though, thinking about it, had it been known that he was from a noble family, it might have caused trouble for Lyle-sensei and Noel. But still.
“You spent six years all by yourself, rarely leaving the forest? How could you stand the loneliness?”
“Being by myself wasn’t that hard. My father gave me a lot of supplies too, so I never needed anything. It was the opposite – I had fun doing whatever I wanted and living freely without being tied down by anyone else. The Great Forest is a dangerous place though, so it might be hard for people without a lot of mana to stay there.”
Being suddenly pushed into the Great Forest and fending off monsters despite having zero combat experience and never having used magic in their life wasn’t something a normal person could do. It seemed that Lyle-sensei had helped him out during that first month, but there were rumors of S-rank and SS-rank monsters inside the forest. To be able to flourish in such an environment, Zagan was nothing less than impressive.
Unfortunately, before evening fell, we had to part ways because the following day, the dungeon would open.
I went back to the mansion.
At night, after finishing my preparations and taking a leisurely bath, I turned off the lights in my room and lay down in bed. I closed my eyes and stayed still for a while, but apparently I wasn’t that sleepy yet. On the contrary, I was wide awake, the image of Zagan projected in my head.
I was happy that Zagan and I got to talk a lot today. I even got some Valentine’s chocolate, though it was a bit early for that. Of course, Zagan didn’t have those kinds of intentions, but it still made me happy.
What should I get him for White Day?
Any kind of sweet would be fine, but it was customary for the return gift to be equal in value to what you were given. The idea behind it was for the giver’s feelings to be returned at the same level.
Since he’d given me some of his chocolate bar, I had no choice but to get him something simple. He said he didn’t like sweet stuff much, but as long as it wasn’t too sweet, it seemed to be fine, so maybe I should go with cookies. And we’d eat them together, just like we did today.
“Zagan…”
As I thought about Zagan, my body started heating up, and I got hard. This had been happening every night lately, but what’s worse was that it almost happened when he was sitting next to me today. I masturbated every night so I could somehow keep it down, but…
Remembering Zagan’s face at that time, my hand moved across my stomach towards my legs. I pictured that seductive lick of his tongue, those red eyes looking at me.
I wanted that tongue to run up and down my hard length, for him to look at me as he licked. Just that would be enough to get me aroused.
“Nn… Haa…”
I wanted Zagan to be closer. To touch his skin and feel his warmth. I wanted to pull him in and kiss him. I wanted to hear him moan and see the intoxicating pleasure on his face as our erections rubbed against each other.
I wondered what Zagan’s body would look like. Was he a lot sturdier than he looked, or was he just as slender as he seemed? No matter what, I wanted to wrap my arms around his waist and lick all over. I wanted to thrust into his deepest part.
Would I be able to make Zagan feel good? Would he want me? Ah, I love you. I love you, Zagan.
“N… gh…”
I stroked myself again and again, imagining his lewd appearance, before I finally tipped over the edge. It felt like I was releasing the smoldering heat that had been trapped inside of me, and I let out a shaky breath.
Illuminating the bedside table with a faint light, I grabbed a couple of tissues and cleaned myself up, then used life magic before lying down again.
The thought that I wouldn’t get to see Zagan for the next two weeks made me feel lonely. But I also wanted to reach that man’s overwhelmingly strong level. I didn’t want to be left behind, so from now on, I had to work hard to get stronger.
Thank you for the update!
