Chapter 16- A tear for revelation

Deai's POV:

"Lately you seem to be more comfortable with kissing me. Are you finally falling for me?"

"Of course not! Quite dreaming!"

Even though he replied like that he still turned red.

I love how Earth-Kun turns red every time I tease him! And although he is getting better at kissing, it seems as though he will always act like a virgin.

This funny thought brought a smile to my face, which, for some reason, made him even more flustered.

Oh...Sooooo cute!!!!!!!!

"What are you smiling for?!"

"Isn't it obvious? It's for being able to kiss my cute Earth-Kun".

"Shut up!"

"Don't wanna! I'll only shut up when you kiss me".

"I already kissed you".

"So kiss me more".

"Don't wanna!....Ah! I just remembered! In four days time it will finally be the end of my one month imprisonment here and I'll be free to leave this tree!".

He said so with excitement.

My one month with Earth-Kun is coming to it's end?! No way! What should I do if he leaves me?! I'll die for sure without my wife's smile!

I was shocked at this revelation and tears started streaming down my face without me realizing.

I have never cried in front of another person in my whole life but now I couldn't stop my tears from running.

A look of complete shock was plastered over Earth's face in reply.

(WN: I'm going to stop writing honorifics from now on unless it's important, since it's too annoying).

"Deai? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

He asked me with genuine concern and as he asked that he lifted one of his hand and started to gently wipe my tears with his handkerchief. This simple gesture was so moving I couldn't help but tear even more at the thought of losing this man. My soul was lost.

"Please don't cry....I'm sorry...I wasn't intending to hurt you.."

I couldn't help myself anymore and draw him to an embrace in my arms. As usual, his cheeks turned bright red. I was always content with only me hugging him and him never hugging me back until now, me loving him and him not loving me back, me kissing him and him rejecting my kisses. But now suddenly I feel his arms that are usually loose by his sides waiting for the hug to end, wrapping around my waist while he lay his head on my chest.

His actions left me stunned and all I could do was blush in shame at this gentle man trying to comfort me.

"You are hugging me...why?"

"You looked so sad I couldn't help it".

"But don't you hate me for all the things I have done to you?"

"Of course not! You may have done some horrible things to me but I know that you will never hurt me. I have already realized that you can be a kind and caring person to the ones you care for and I cannot hate a man like that"

I was sad, happy and confused at the same time.

What is going on here?

"Hey, bend over a bit so I can reach your face"

I did so without thinking twice, still confused by the flow of events. Then he did THAT! THAT!

He took my face in his hands, kissed my eyes, sucked the tears from my eyelashes and licked the tears on my cheeks that have already dried as if trying to drink away my sorrow.

I turned to stone on the spot.

What is going on here? Usually I have to force him to do stuff like this! Have my feelings reached him for the first time? All it took was to break character?!

"Here! This is something a childhood friend of mine taught me. He did that to me whenever I was feeling down. Are you feeling better now?"

I nodded. A bit of jealousy creeped into my heart at the sound of that though...

He had someone doing something so intimate with him and it didn't bother him at all. Well now he is mine at least....

"But why did you cry?"

"I got scared of losing you"

"No... Tell me really why?"

"It's just as I said. I have fallen in love with you and the thought of losing you broke my heart."

He blushed. He blushed so hard I could compare him to the color of roses and that made me very happy, so happy I felt I could die.

My message finally got through!

.......................................

Earth's POV:

"....I don't know if I'll ever be able to return these feelings back to you, you know?"

"Yes. I know but I don't want to give up on trying".

"In that case come with me".

"Huh?"

"I said you can come with me to my journey in this world which is new to me. I am still a level 1 and not familiar with this world and its customs, I could really use your help if you are interested".

A soft spot for Deai was created in my heart when I was not paying attention.

"May I really come with my cute Earth? Is that really ok?"

He smiled as brightly as the sun shines at those words.

I'm still straight but if I'll ever see him again in a state similar to how he is right now, I might just accidentally go bent. This man's charisma and beauty are dangerous as fuck!

His eyes were still a bit moist and pink from crying which made them look foggy and seducing, his cheeks were a bit flustered from the excitement and together with this beautiful and warm smile he was a sight to behold.

I have never looked at him this way before. This is really dangerous! But how dare he call me cute while he is making a face as this!

(WN: Earth is not aware that he looks like that about 100% of the time.)

"I'll do this just once, so don't you dare close your eyes or say a word!"

"Huh? Do wha...?"

Before he could complete his sentence I pulled him by his T-shirt's collar and closed my mouth on his. His sweet lips and sweet smell ruled my senses and I used every little ounce of strength I had in me to stay in control. I sucked his lips, forcefully pried open his teeth and slid my tongue inside, exploring every part of his mouth as if I was searching for a treasure there.

"Mmm....".

He released a moan! I made Deai release a fucking moan! This is really fulfilling for some reason....hahaha....

I kept going on like that until we were both out of breath and only then did I let go, taking a step backwards.

"Wow....what was that for? ...You already kissed me for today's study".

"I know. I just felt like it. You kinda annoyed me before calling me cute with this face of yours, so I took my revenge"

"This face of mine? No, no, never mind, I don't want to know. But just so you know, although I love you taking the initiative, I will still be the top in the end."

Back to his usual self already huh? To bad....wait...no! Not to bad! I'm fucking Straight! I SWEAR!

"Since I'll be going with you on your journey, will you please wait five days instead of four, for our journey to begin?"

"HUH?! Why should I wait?!"

"In five days is my birthday and my powers will finally be released completely. If you'll wait till then I'll be able to protect you better. I also have to make arrangements for my leave as I am this village chief".

"Oh right! I totally forgot you are!"

"How rude!"

"Not really...but fine, I'm willing to wait one more day."

"Great! I'll start making the preparations so we'll be able to leave in five days!"

As he said that he ran out the front door leading outside the tree. Watching it close behind him I stretched my arms and said:

"Finally my fantasy like life is going to begin!"
