Chapter 32- Dating

Earth POV:

"You love me?"

Wu was looking at me, his mouth keep closing and opening in search of words, his tears dried up a while ago since he's been like this for a few minutes already. It's started to be a bit amusing in my eyes so I decided to finally break the silence, turning my head away from him I blushed as I spoke.

"You look like a fish right now. Are you really this shocked?"

He nodded his head slightly in response.

*sigh*

"Listen... Sure, you can be annoying and rude, saying edgy and dirty things, telling dirty jokes as well, forcing me to have sex with you and kiss yo-... "

Oh...I derailed...

"Aham. That's not the point.... "

Wu looked at me dejectedly after hearing my words and I quickly corrected myself.

"The point is that even though all of these things, you were always there, giving me whatever I needed and wanted, while keeping me safe of any harm. I guess that at some point, it was inevitable for me to finally return some of your feelings back..."

To admit something I denied for so long wasn't easy for me, and I felt shame for admitting such a thing as loving another man. To some point I already knew for a while that I had fallen in love with him, but I just kept denying those feelings, influenced by the culture of my old world, thinking it was wrong for me to feel such a thing towards Wu.

"You are so quiet...say something..."

I was starting to feel uncomfortable for Wu's silence at my words and waved my hand in front of his face trying to get a response. After doing that, finally, he seemed to have snapped out of his haze, looking at me.

"I never thought you will tell me you love me yourself.... "

"Huh?"

What does that mean?

"I always thought I would have to coarse you somehow to admit it."

*tch*

I clicked my tongue at his words.

These are the first words he say after I confess?! But... He is probably right...

"If yesterday didn't happen, you probably would have had to do so..."

"So I was right..."

"Are you glad?"

He looked at me for a few seconds before a huge charming smile came on his face.

"I am!"

"I see....."

I shifted uncomfortably at his charming, yet somehow menacing, smile.

I feel like I should set the boundaries quickly or else...

"Just so you understand, we are only going to date for now, not getting married!"

I emphasized the part where we are not married, hoping it will make him ease down. Right now he looked like a hungry, smiling and charming beast waiting to attack it's pray, making me extremely cautious.

"You said 'for now'...does that mean we will marry in the future?"

He was shining so brightly right now that the image of him crying cutely a few minutes ago almost seemed like a mirage. I felt my cheeks grow hot from embarrassment at his words and whispered quietly in response.

"Don't jump the gu-...don't jump to conclusions..."

"Gu-?"

"It doesn't matter, let's get up. Especially after yesterday, we need to buy me those magic scrolls for beginners so I can protect myself better."

I got off Wu's lap, ready to leave the bed and get ready, before Wu grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to his embrace.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

I was pulled in a way that I was seated on his lap, my back stuck to his chest and his arms warped around my waist. I tried breaking away but couldn't so I lifted my face glaring at him.

"What's the hurry? You thought I'll let you go so easily after telling me you love me?"

I blinked in confusion.

"Huh?"

This time he sighed at my response.

"You know how long I waited for you to say those words? I haven't kissed you or touched you since I told you I'll wait for you to return my feelings, I'm at my limit you know?"

I could feel the color drain out of my face when I felt something hard poking my bottom.

"No....."

"Why not? Aren't we dating?"

He had a 'pity me' look on his face, making me cringe.

"We are dating for less then a minute! Like I will fucking have sex with you that quickly! You are delusional!!!"

The thing poking me for some reason grew larger and hotter, making me cringe even more and my face to grew deep red.

"Why the heck did it grew bigger?!"

I was too afraid to move, to not tease the beast any farther.

"It's because you said we are dating..."

He had a wronged look on his face as he said that. I was shocked out of my words at his response, just closing and opening my mouth, no words coming out.

The hell?! This is enough to make him hard?!

"Come on... Can't we have sex again? You liked it the first time..."

The nerves on this guy!!!!!!!!!!

"You...you... HAVE YOU GOT NO SHAME?!?!"

Right at that moment a knock was sounded at the door of the room, and a familiar voice was heard.

"Wu-San, it's me, Rush, I brought Maya to check on Earth like you requested."

*tch*

Wu clicked his tongue at the interruption which was Rush-Sama and Maya-Sama, before activating [Cooldown] on himself, getting rid of the embarrassing situation we were in. I thanked God for helping me out this time, I was not mentally ready yet.

"Wu-San? Are You there?"

This time an unfamiliar voice was heard which I guess belonged to Maya-Sama.

"Yeah, I'm here. Wait a minute, we are not dressed."

He looked down at me, still wearing his big shirt and my boxers alone, his eyes full of regret.

"Hahaha, it seems that the gods are on my side."

I giggled at him. He pinched my nose in response before letting me off his lap with a frown.

"Don't be too happy, we are dating now and I'm a man with needs, you understand that honey?"

I shivered at the subtle lust his voice carried combined with the slight threat he made. I blushed and avoided his gaze, getting up and taking my clothes out of my magic bag. This time I did not wear a yukata but rather I wore my old clothes, a white hoodie with a red hood and brown pants. Unlike what Wu said before, these clothes seemed less conspicuous then the yukata compared with what I seen people wearing yesterday. Wu also changed to a normal white t-shirt with pants that looked like jeans and then tucked his hair to a ponytail.

"So you also have normal clothes like that..."

"Oh this... Well, I don't wear them usually, but I want to blend in if possible today."

"So why did you make me wear a yukata before?"

"Oh, I thought you will look cute in it, but apparently you looked too cute in it."

"Shut up, I'm a man, I'm not happy being called cute!"

"Well, you are cute."

I pouted at his words and he once again pinched my nose.

"Ouch! Stop doing that!"

"No."

I glared at him but he ignored me and went to open the door, letting Maya and Rush inside.
