And the World Hopping Begins!

"Your majesty, please get ready for bed."

Raymond slightly shook Reese's shoulder but he was sleeping like the dead. He decided to just take Reese's outer clothing and tuck him under the bedsheets. In the midst of moving him under the sheets, Reese slightly opened his eyes.

"Xan? You bad man. To attack me with the weapon I made for you is horrible."

Reese sleep-talked and fell back to sleep. Raymond had froze at what Reese had said. 

'No wonder he knew that name and said he gave it to me. He's my savior, lord god!'

Raymond spent years searching for his god after the other had stopped interacting with him one random day. He was so confused when it happened. He had completed and did whatever task, mission, and request the other gave him. He had wondered if the other lost interest and left to pick up another pitiful child like he had done with him. Give him warmth and care only to move on when he thought he was strong enough to live. He knew he should be satisfied with what was given and the care the other had shared. But he had somehow managed to fall in love with his god. He knows it's forbidden to romantically love a god but he indulged in the emotions while spending time with his god. His love grew deeper and deeper. To the point of an obsessed devotor. 

Raymond was still supporting Reese's upper body while half his body was under the bed sheets. He quickly moved to tuck Reese into bed and stare at his sleeping face with eyes filled with madness and love. He stood there until he heard the birds chirping. He then left to wash up and change, planning to come back to attend to Reese. He wasn't tired at all for not sleeping. He had grown immensely over many years. He had raised his rank and become the regent of this kingdom thinking of how his lord is. His god loved the people, worried and cared for them. So he always requested of him to take action and defeat the enemies to save the innocent. Raymond did not care about the others, he only cared about his image in front of his lord. He had seen the greed and corruption of humans at a young age before the lord took him under his wings.

Reese groaned as he looked up at the ceiling, realizing he was in bed with only his inner clothing on. He weakly sat up and finally noticed Raymond sitting nearby in the room. Raymond was silent as he put down his tea cup and went to Reese. 

"Your majesty, the floor is cold. Let me help you."

Raymond kneeled down in front of Reese and had a pair of fabric flats. He gently held one ankle and slipped the slippers on.

"S-sir Raymond, what are you doing?!"

Reese wanted to pull back his foot but Raymond had a firm grasp on it. Raymond frowned at the polite tone the other spoke to him with. It was like they were strangers.

"Call me by my other name like you used to."

"W-what?"

Reese had not expected the change in treatment. Raymond made eye contact with him and slowly lowered himself to kiss his bare foot.

"?!"

Reese blushed deeper and tried to pull his feet back. But Raymond refused to let go. Raymond's eyes darkened.

"Do you hate me now? For trying to kill you? I didn't know it was you, my lord. Please forgive me."

Raymond went to kiss his feet again. 

'Ahhhhh!'

Reese exploded inside. He bent over to stop the other from kissing his other foot. 

"Stop that!"

"Not until you forgive my sin."

"Ah! Yes! I forgive you so stop right now!"

Reese sighed in relief when Raymond pulled back a bit but then he raised his foot and licked and sucked his toes.

"X-XAN!"

Reese started feeling weird and called out to the other, hoping for him to stop messing around. Raymond was satisfied with Reese's reaction. So he feels something for him after all. He's special to Reese. It took all the energy Reese gathered from last night's rest to anxiously shout Raymond's name. Raymond put on the other slipper and picked up Reese to go to the bathroom. Reese was suspicious of the other's next actions as well as feeling helpless at Raymond's sudden considerate care. 

[You know he's been staring at you sleep the entire night. He didn't sleep a wink.]

'What?!'

[Yep! He was like a guard dog, waiting for his master to give him attention. What a pitiful soul.]

'...'

Raymond was about to strip Reese's inner clothes but Reese immediately stopped him.

"What are you doing?"

"Helping my lord get ready for the morning."

"N-no thank you. I can perfectly get ready by myself."

Reese saw that he was going to say something but spoke up first.

"Yes, I forgive you. Anything you think you did wrong, I forgive you. So please let me get ready by myself."

"...fine, I'll be outside the door so please call me if you need help."

Raymond reluctantly compromised and walked out. The moment the door was shut Reese was able to relax and let out a sigh. Reese quickly washed up and got ready for the day. As he was putting on new clothes, he realized that he had forgotten about the system.

'System?'

[I'm here~]

'Let's start with the first task.'

[Okie dokie! Searching for a world…search complete…transferring host in 3…2…1…0!]
