It's been five years since Shin woke up in this world, slowly adapting to his new life. Surprisingly he didn't find much resistance to it, pleasantly spending his time with his family and friends. He didn't have any major complaints. Except for maybe the fact that Darcel and Lucius were very possessive of him. "Pft..." Alexis burst into laughter, causing both of them to cast glances at him.
"Lex? What's wrong?"
"No.. it's nothing. Hehe."
"I don't trust your 'nothing'. Whenever you say that, it's never true." Darcel mumbled, clearly he couldn't trust those words at all.
"Well... if you really wanted to know, I was just thinking about how the years have gone by, and yet the two of you are still just as possessive of me as you were five years ago."
Both flinched at his words, "Well.. we're your childhood friends so we have to look after each other." Lucius was flustered and stumbled over his words, trying to smooth out their awkwardness.
"Mhmm, if we don't look after you, you wouldn't be able to look after yourself." Darcel haughtily exclaimed but in Alexis's eyes, it was like a baby tiger trying to show off its power.
"Is that so?" Alexis stretched out his words, trying to get an honest answer from them. He noticed that a bit of his mana was recovered, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous light. "You know, I've been testing out a new spell recently and I was wondering if I could test it on you guys."
They pushed open the bedroom doors, guiding Alexis towards the bed, placing him down and taking a seat next to him. "I don't mind you testing your spell on us." Lucius reached out to pat his head. "As long as you don't get hurt in the process." Darcel stubbornly reminded him again.
"No, of course not. If I get hurt again, I'll never hear the end of it from you guys." Alexis was pleased to get their permission, he really wanted to play a little trick on them as a small payback for their scolding earlier. "Let me know if it hurts you okay? I'll stop straight away." He gave them his best puppy eyes, instantly melting their hearts.
"Ahum, should we go to the arena once you've rested enough?" Darcel darted his eyes to his embarrassment.
"No it's okay. I can test it here." Alexis climbed towards the middle of the bed, motioning them to follow him. "Lex, what spell are you testing out?" Lucius curiously inquired. Alexis gave a small smirk before glancing back at them.
"Wait... What are you doing?" Alexis slowly inched towards Lucius, causing him to move back before falling back onto the bed. He climbed on top of him, sitting on his body, "Actually I was wondering what else I could use my magic for. And I thought to myself, what if I used it directly on the body?"
Alexis leaned down, quickly closing the distance between them. His amethyst eyes peered into Lucius's gentle ice-blue eyes, he could see himself reflected in his eyes. "Wait wait wait Lex!" Lucius panicked at how quickly the situation changed. Small sparks of his lightning magic began to materialise, Alexis gave him a reassuring smile before bringing his finger to lightly trace along Lucius's arm, fingers, and upper body. "How does it feel?"
"Nghh... Lex... Stop..." Lucius twitched as Alexis continued, every spot he touched tingled, causing Lucius to tremble from his caresses. He moved to grab his wrist to stop him, "Ah... I wouldn't do that if I was you. I wouldn't want to take away your favour and the outing I promised you." Lucius glared at him, tears were clinging to his eyelashes as a response to his stimulation.
"How.. much longer... do you need?" Lucius huffed out in anger. Perhaps that wasn't the right word to describe his emotions. Desperation may be more fitting.
"Not much longer, I want to see how you would react to it." Alexis mentally took note of Lucius's reactions, wanting to test out more areas. He lightly trailed up the arm, following through towards his chest. Their bodies began gaining muscles due to their strenuous training, with each of them receiving more marriage proposals from both ladies and gentlemen. Alexis teasingly dragged his finger along Lucius's chest, causing small gasps and jolts from him. "Lex... Ungh..."
Lucius tried to dodge Alexis's touches, not wanting to torment himself any longer. "Lex... No more..." Lucius felt like his body was slowly becoming more sensitive to his touches, even the slightest linger on his skin caused him to react. His eyes produced more tears from his hypersensitivity and Alexis's electrifying movements.
Seeing his friend tear up from his touches, Alexis felt an unusual joy from it, causing him to frown slightly. He suddenly stopped his hands, giving Lucius some time to breathe. "Alright, I'm all done." He retracted his magic and moved off of Lucius, sending a small little zap towards his body. Alexis noticed something in the corner of his eyes but shifted his focus towards Darcel, pretending to not notice it.
"Don't do that again Lex." Lucius was still breathless from his small spell, trying to bring himself back to his calm state. "Rather, don't do that with anyone else aside from us." His eyes were slightly dewy, his forehead slightly damp with sweat. He weakly gave a warning glance towards Alexis, who chose to ignore it. Lucius could feel that his body had no more strength after Alexis toyed with him, only tiredly laying on the bed to slowly regain his strength.
"Lu, what do you mean?" Darcel had an inkling as to what Alexis wanted to test out but until he experienced it himself, he could only speculate. He cast his suspicious eyes towards him, "Lex, what did you do?"
"Hmm? Nothing much. I was simply testing out my new spell." Alexis slowly made his way towards Darcel, who was slowly retreating away.
He glanced at Lucius before turning his gaze at Alexis, "That doesn't seem like nothing. What are you planning..." Alexis pushed him down onto the bed, moving to sit on top of him like Lucius. "Lex!" He tried to prop his body up but was pushed down by Alexis once more.
"Now now, it won't last very long." Alexis summoned his magic once more, "No Lex. This is wrong." Darcel tried to pry Alexis off of him but Alexis was slowly becoming annoyed with his actions, "Stop moving, I don't want to restrain you." Alexis raised his other hand, preparing to cast another spell.
Darcel chose to not listen to him, overwhelming him and pushing Alexis down onto the bed instead. "Darc, don't make me say it again." Alexis was locked between Darcel's arms, being able to clearly see his conflicted expressions. They stared into each other's eyes, both stubborn and in a deadlock. Alexis didn't mind the stalemate, after all the person suffering the most was not him but Darcel.
Darcel opened his mouth before closing it, letting out a defeated sigh, "Promise me you won't do this with anyone else apart from us."
"Promise." Alexis unhesitantly promised him, it wasn't like he was planning to do it to anyone else. Plus, aside from the two of them, he had no one else he was close to.
Darcel allowed Alexis to push him back onto the bed and to comfortably sit on top of him. He resignedly relaxed his body underneath Alexis. Seeing him relax, Alexis took advantage of him, restraining his hands above his head with his magic. "Lex?! What are you doing?!" Darcel panicked and shuffled in his spot to try and remove his restraints.
"It's alright Darc. I'm just doing this in case you don't listen again." Alexis exerted some strength to press down Darcel once more. "I'll start testing now." Once more, small zaps of lighting appeared at his fingertips, Alexis had a devilish smile on his lips, amused at what reactions he could get from Darcel.
"Lex!..." Darcel felt the electricity run through his body, rendering his body soft and jelly-like. He couldn't help but shudder in response to Alexis's feather-like touches. Paired with his spell, Darcel surrendered himself to Alexis. His breathing got heavier as he tried to resist the tingling numbness Alexis left behind every he touched. He wanted to stop Alexis's roaming hands as he lightly dragged his fingers across his skin. "Lex... are you satisfied yet?" Darcel barely managed to put a sentence together under his continuous teasing.
"Just a bit more. I want to see your reactions if I touch other areas." Alexis moved to his nape, reducing the level of electrical current, creating a ticklish feeling. Darcel tried to shield his neck from Alexis's fleeting touches but ended up exposing more instead. Alexis gently tapped along his nape, causing a soft, muffled groan from Darcel. "Lex... Enough..."
Alexis wanted to play around a little more but seeing how he promised them earlier that he would stop, he reluctantly withdrew his hands before moving off of Darcel. "Hmm~, I'm satisfied with my results." He had felt something behind him earlier but paid no heed to it, focusing purely on Darcel's response. "Thank you for allowing me to test my new spell."
Darcel laid tiredly on the bed, trying to even out his breath as he shielded his eyes with his arm. Darcel felt so conflicted because he knew that Alexis only needed him to test out his new spell but he couldn't help but respond to his touches, barely managing to retain his sanity. "Lex... you are in big trouble later." He mumbled out, causing Lucius to add on, "If you plan to do this to someone else aside from us, don't blame us later on."
"Hmm? Why would I blame you later on?" Alexis was in the middle of writing his observations in his notebook, only lifting his head when they mentioned him. "Ahah, I can't believe this is who we like." Darcel helplessly laughed, how long will it take for him to finally realise?
Lucius joined in too, jokingly saying, "It's a shame he doesn't notice at all."
