Ryan maybe an old man already but he's still as handsome as before . Most people in the neighborhood wanted to marry their child to him , but this guy had always been unapproachable . His aura often scare the little girls who wanted to marry him causing him to end up single until 18 . Rumors about him having some sadistic side even spread throughout the town because of his scary gaze when he looks at a person . Everyone thought that he had killed before .
Of course , there is also a rumor that this guy likes men particularly soft men . That's why when Gab picked up Ryan's card , Ian immediately ran away .
" Boy! Gab! I brought you your wife! "
Ryan immediately glared at Ian . He's not the wife!
---
Last night , Ian visited his house saying that an unlucky guy had already picked his flirtatious card . Ryan himself did not expect that a guy picked up his card instead of a girl but he also doesn't mind it .
Girls were too timid to roll in the sheets with him so he might as well marry a guy . Now , seeing his supposed spouse . Ryan can't speak anymore .
This boy is surprisingly good looking . Although he's malnourished , once he stuff this guy with a lot of food , his butt will probably have meat in the future.
Under Ryan's seemingly sharp and distant expression there hides a perverted mind inside that no one knows .
Marriage was the only acceptable place for sex in the ancient times and as a result , most people , especially commoners marry at a very young age . Generally seen at 12 for women and 14 for men requiring no parental consent .
One could even see someone getting married in a pub , side street or even in bed . The only thing they have to do is to have the consent of both the people involved .
Gab was oblivious in this aspect and didn't expect that there is such a thing . So when he accepted the box given by the strange man . That already start his married life as by recieving the man's gift means he gave consent to the man similar to the ' i do ' in the modern world .
Ryan didn't expect that the boy would easily accept his wedding ring . The two awkwardly stared at each other .
Then Ryan watched as the boy opened the box . There he saw a wedding ring inside , there is a mysterious stone inlaid on top of the ring and Gab doesn't know what kind of stone it was but its appearance didn't lose to a gem .
For a commoner man like Ryan being able to afford this thing was already rare in this times.
Gab stared at the wedding ring inside and slowly looked back at the tall man towering him . He faintly felt displeased recalling that he's as tall as this man in his previous life . He's so envious.
Gab wore the ring and it surprisingly fit his ring finger . Ryan looked at Gab's caloused slender hand then suddenly met Gab's bright yet profound eyes . Ryan blinked and puckered his lips in awkwardness
Ian the matchmaker felt that there's a subtle atmosphere looming over these two people .
" You two young lads , try to get along with each other from now on . Although , you can't reproduce . At least there is still a baby in the family yeah? "
Rose tilted her head and saw her brother and his 'husband' looking at her . Rose subconsciously smiled sweetly , if only this child's cheeks were plump she would definitely look cuter .
Ryan spoke " i don't mind "
" ... " Gab
Ryan then suddenly stared at Gab then slowly spoke with his low magnetic voice. " You can live in my house from now on . I can provide for you two . "
" ... " Gab
Gab just couldn't speak ... The pace seems so fast . He had just transmigrated then he suddenly got an instant husband the next day . These ancient people are really odd . This is not even a legal marriage . These fools ....
But since there's someone who could take good care of his sister from now on . Gab doesn't mind marrying this guy . As long as he works hard , he and his sister will never starve again . Gab nodded to Ryan .
That very same day , Rose and Gab left their house with their tiny possessions and followed Ryan to the Willow Village . They ride on Ryan's ox cart and watched the view as they passed several towns before arriving in the Willow Village.
The news of Ryan getting married had already spread throughout the whole village . Everyone curiously looked at the cart being pulled by an ox and saw two new faces sitting inside .
Gab swept his eyes over the villagers' bodies and closed his eyes to savor the passing cool wind . The wind was fresh and unpolluted , unlike the apocalypse he experienced in his past life where there's constant bombing happening and gunshots .
Rose hugged Gab's waist and curiously swept her eyes in the scenery .
As they passed by the people walking on the side road . Gab heard their whisperers as clear as water .
" The loner finally married. "
" He's already 18 and he only decided to get married this late . Tsk tsk , its a pity though . He has a good house and he doesn't worry about food . If only this loner guy wasn't interested on the same sex , he would have been married to a girl long before. "
" The church of light doesn't favor same sex marriage though . "
" I heard that people in the neighboring countries sees having anal sex with a man as manly. Believing that forcing man in an anal sex is a manly behaviour , unfortunately though , the reciever often suffered from the church's negative views on sodomy. "
" The guy is really pitiful . "
" Fortunately though , the church was focused in the aristocrats these days . I heard that the church was displeased by the Rosilans' barbaric actions of enslaving people . "
" I don't have a good view on slavery either , who on earth wants to become a slave . "
" I even heard that Rosilans often do anal sex on weak men that looks like girls . "
" They are really hateful . "
Gab's mouth twitched hearing their murmurs . There's no way he'll let this man have his way into him . There'll be platonic relationship only.
The ox cart suddenly stopped in front of a house that was surrounded with fields of rice crops . It was a two storey house with arranged thatched roof but it was bigger than normal peasant's house in the village .
Behind the two story house , there were a poultry farm and cattles being raised . Surrounding these two small buildings where a field of yellow crops looking so beautiful within the eyes of Rose who smelled good life at a glance .
Her brother caught a rich villager!!!!
Ryan led the two inside the house. When they entered , the interior design of the house was unexpectedly clean and organized. There is a wooden ladder beside the wall on the left and a bricked fireplace in the living room on the right.
Ryan opened a room in the first floor and said to Rose . " This will be your own room from now on , Rose . "
Rose widened her eyes . " I will be having my own room? "
Ryan nodded then looked at Gab . " Is it fine for you to be separated from your sister? "
Gab nodded knowing that Rose was already a mature baby . Rose doesn't pee on the sheets in the middle of the night and he doesn't have to worry about her being alone in her own room .
Rose entered her own room and a smile surfaced upon her lips knowing that she'll be having her own room from now on .
While Rose savored the feeling of becoming mature . Ryan led Gab to the second floor and lift up his belongings with them .
Then the two entered a room with a big bed . Gab then immediately realized that they will be sleeping in the same room . Gab looked at Ryan but did not saw some hidden intentions on his face .
" Since we're now husband and wife . We naturally have to sleep in the same bed from now on . "
" ... " Gab
" I see " Gab nodded his head and put down his bag .
But what he is worrying about is ... He can't arbitrarily open his space in case it gets exposed. It will be his doom if it does gets exposed .
Gab rubbed his cheeks in frustration and regretted picking up a flirtation card from the box .
Ryan silently observed the boy and noticed how the boy didn't shiver from fear . Didn't he noticed how i stared at him without blinking?
Gab sat on the bed and touched the soft fabric . Thinking about it , he no longer feel that its a loss marrying this strange man .
" You're 18? "
Ryan tilted his head. " Yeah "
" Then you're older than me. " Gab said
Ryan then nodded.
" How should we adress each other? "
Ryan thought for a moment before suddenly blushing . A thought flashed in his mind and immediately threw it behind his back . They are not close yet to the point of calling each other in such a sweet endearment .
" You can just call me , brother . "
Gab frowned and shook his head. " You may be older than me but you're my husband . It's not good for me to call you brother . "
Ryan gulped then hesitated . " Then , you're fine with calling me husband? "
" I don't mind though , but it still feels strange . So i will just call you by your name. "
Ryan nodded in agreement . " Call me Yan from now on . "
" Gab "
Gab extended his hand and touched Ryan's large hand . He could feel him flinching from his sudden touch . Gab suddenly felt amused and kissed the back of his hand .
Ryan's eyes widened in shock from his movements . Gab then smiled amusingly . " Let's get along , Yan . "
Ryan gulped and slowly nodded . Gab's palm felt so warm .
The door suddenly opened. " Brother--- ... Oh , sorry for disturbing . "
Rose immediately closed the door and run down from the stairs . Gab holding Ryan's hand chuckled then let go of Ryan's hand . He turned and open his bag , then took out a bottle of ordinary wine from the space with the bag's cover and dragged a table near the edge of the bed .
" This is the first day of our simple wedding , where we didn't even vow to each other , but since you're going to take good care of us siblings . Let me toss you a wine as the celebration of our first day as husbands . "
Ryan watched as Gab poured him a wine on his wooden cup and clinks his wooden cup on his . " Come on , drink it . I'm sure you'll like my wine . "
" Cheers " Ryan slowly said and sipped on the wine .
His eyes widened in shock from the delicious taste he tasted . " Good wine! "
" I told you " Gab grinned handsomely and gulped down . " This is the wine we stole from an aristocrat when i and my sibling ran away to this village . Although I can't remember most of my memories anymore , i still have a strong impression on this wine that i taken a sip on when i was still a child . " Of course , Gab was only talking nonsense .
" You have guts on stealing a wine from an aristocrat ."
" No one saw me stealing though . "
The two talked like this until they got drunk . Gab was the only one who didn't get drunk though , he just acted .
Gab dragged the unconscious Ryan on the bed and sighed . They were supposed to consumate but he is still young so he made Ryan drunk like this .
Hopefully , they will get along pretty well in the future .
It's already late at noon . Rose still didn't eat breakfast yet. Gab climb down from upstairs and went to the living room . There he saw Rose eating bananas on the table and sipping some soup from a bowl . Only then did he noticed that Ryan actually prepared a small banquet for the two of them .
Rose lifted her head and saw her brother with a flushed cheeks sitting just right beside her. " Brother , i saw you kissing Brother Ryan's hands just earlier . "
" Really? "
" Yes! "
" Is there something wrong with it? "
" None at all ."
" Then why are you asking . "
" I disturbed you . "
" You didn't . "
" I did . "
" You didn't . "
" But aren't you guys going to make babies . "
" Who told you that! "
" Ian "
" .... " Gab
