Soul Shard Captor [BL] - Chapter 131

131. Hands-on approach
Translator: Lucy Pan Dora
And thus they played pool for long five… five…

Five minutes…

Why?

“Astar! Levi!” A tomato red and very livid Noah, who was currently leaning over the pool table, ground his teeth. His grip on the cue stick was so tight his fingers turned white.

Astar Levi, with his lips pressed tightly together, stood stiffly behind him with his arms rigidly enveloping the other. He said not a word, and his expression was grave, however, if one looked closely, one could see grievances spilling out of his eyes.

So, one might be thinking, ‘Oh, so that’s what happened! This dawg Astar Levi shamelessly attempted to eat some tofu in broad daylight!’

Shameless dawg Astar Levi pleads not guilty! QAQ ‘I’ve been wrongfully accused!!’

He really didn’t, ah! He was very honestly trying to teach his baby how to play pool! And of course, when teaching someone how to do something, a hands-on approach was always the best…

Ok, sure, the reason why he had been so enthusiastic about teaching his baby how to play pool was because this was a heaven-sent opportunity to seduce his darling and act intimate with him in an above-board manner…

But, but…! But he was really teaching very sincerely this time! The tofu eaten was strictly within the acceptable levels for such an activity!!

He, Levi, absolutely wouldn’t take liberties with his precious darling in front of so many near-strangers! His baby’s skin was so thin, he would definitely get mad at Levi if he did something embarrassing to him in public!

How would Levi dare risk getting negative affection points from his precious just for the sake of some quick nibbles of his tofu?!

He, Astar Levi, was innocent! Absolutely as innocent as can be!

So then… 🤔 if the problem wasn’t in Levi’s inappropriate behavior… could it be that the overly shy little rabbit couldn’t take this kind of hands-on approach?

Not exactly…

Sure, having Levi wrapped around him made his heart flutter and his ears flush, but Noah, too, realized that this was a legit method of teaching someone how to play pool. Sure, those light touches were a bit too sensual, but that was because Noah was now sexually aware of Levi and not because the other stepped over the line.

Alright, so if the problem was neither Levi nor Noah, then who was it? Blackie?

Blackie, (◞‸ლ) ‘Please leave me out of this…’

So… in the end, who was this third party that brutally murdered and buried the pool game without an intact corpse?

Leviathan, ‘Hello! Hola! Namaste! Bonjour! Guten Tag!’ ╰(*°▽°*)╯

‘Comrades, let us stand up as proof that just outwardly behaving like a gentleman doesn’t make you one!’

Yep. Levi was so very enthusiastic about teaching Noah how to play pool.

But, as it turned out, Leviathan was even more enthusiastic about this activity!

Which came as a surprise to pretty much no one.

Other than Noah.

And Levi.

And probably the whole room of semi-random people convinced Astar Levi would be marrying Noah’s sister. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Noah, “…” ○|￣|_

Levi, “…” (⊙_⊙;)

Blackie, “…” (◞‸ლ)

Leviathan, ‘This can’t be blamed on me! ╮(╯▽╰)╭ Hello! Baby bent over a table with his ass up in the air right in front of me! How the fuck do you expect me NOT to stand up in salute?!?’

Blackie, ‘Yeah, yeah! You tell him, bro! Hmph! Levi, your upper head is even dumber than the lower one! Practically laid right on top of my host, pressed your pelvis to my host’s ass, and still didn’t think you’d get a hardon?!’

Levi, ‘…Can you not hit a man while he is down?’

Blackie, ‘Up you mean?’ (¬‿¬)

Levi, ‘…’ ಠ_ಠ

Blackie, ‘Heh! Your level of stupidity is over 9,000! Must be your “love shield” at work?’ (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

Levi, (凸ಠ益ಠ)凸

Noah slammed the cue stick onto the table in a huff and then slowly and rather rigidly straightened his waist. Levi, pasted to his back, mimicked his movements until both were standing up perfectly straight.

“Brother,” Noah squeezed out, between his gritted teeth, “A word.”

Levi grunted his agreement.

Noah slowly turned around and walked off. Levi followed his every step, sticking to his back like glue in desperate attempts to use his baby’s body to hide his bulging member.

As soon as the two turned the corner, Noah stepped away from Levi and spun around to give him a stink eye. But as soon as he saw Levi’s aggrieved, “Baby, I couldn’t help it! I know my wrongs!” expression, his heart couldn’t help but soften.

Alright, so, actually, now that he cooled off a bit, recalling that earlier situation… Levi wasn’t entirely to blame for how it turned out…

Noah had practically been lying on top of that table with Levi holding him from behind… that pose was indeed a bit… ahem! In conclusion, Levi’s physiological reaction could be considered perfectly normal given the circumstances…

Frankly, earlier, when Noah felt that hard shaft poking his little chrysanthemum, even he couldn’t help but feel his blood rush downwards…

(⁄ ⁄> ﹏ <⁄ ⁄)

While Noah internally went back and forth with himself, Levi stood there awkwardly awaiting his sentence, donning a look of a child who had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Seeing the usually fierce and imposing man slouching and nervously peeking at him from under his long eyelashes, Noah couldn’t muster any words of admonishment. In the end, he could only release his riled up emotions through a sigh and give Levi a complicated look.

This ex-brother-in-law of his… definitely wasn’t 100% straight, ah!

That pose might have been problematic, but his ‘little brother’ sure sprang up quickly! There were no shades in between up and down, soft and hard. One second it was firmly on the ground, and in the next, it shot up like a rocket!

Really gave Noah no opportunity to react!

He couldn’t even blame it on alcohol cause Levi didn’t drink a drop! Something about needing his head clear for the following anti-terrorist operation…

Seeing how the other still remained standing in front of him uneasily, together with his pitched tent, Noah shook his head helplessly. “What are you waiting for? Go handle it!” He encouragingly pushed Levi in the direction of the toilet.

Realizing that his darling had no intention of blaming him for the embarrassing situation, Levi’s dying soul miraculously revived. Phew! Scared him to death! For a moment there, he was deliberating how to silence the witnesses…

But ah, his darling was so good! So, so good! Even if Levi imagined the embodiment of perfection itself, it wouldn’t be as perfect as his baby! He, Levi, simply couldn’t love him enough! ❤❤❤

Levi took a few steps, then looked back at Noah wistfully, as if he had something to say but dared not. He then took a few more steps and then again turned back to look at Noah, making a perfect image of a puppy dog begging his owner for food.

Intuitively understanding the plea in the other’s big blue eyes, the mentioned owner felt his blood pressure rise, “No! Solve it by yourself!”

Astar Levi’s imaginary furry ears and tail drooped sadly.

‘Don’t you dare fall for the puppy dog look!’ Noah pinched the bridge of his nose. ‘If you indulge him too much, it’ll certainly come back to bite you in the ass!’

Blackie, “Literally.” (¬‿¬)

‘Yep. Remain firm, Noah! A good doggie shouldn’t be too spoiled!’

The doggie continued to loiter with a crestfallen expression; thus, Noah was forced to harden his heart. He hid the amusement within his eyes and waved his hand in a “shoo, shoo!” gesture.

‘Hmph! Astar Levi, I shall not be fooled by your honey trap again! This bro is not that casual! The only person this bro will service is his legally wedded spouse!’

Blackie, ‘Should I remind my host that his wedding is in three days?’ 🤔
