[BL] After SSS-rank mage reborn as the Legendary Craftsman

Early the next morning, Kei woke up in Kai’s arms.

He lay still for a moment, staring blankly at the space in front of him.

Kai’s arm was still wrapped tightly around his waist, his breath falling steadily on the back of his neck. Every time Kei stirred slightly, the arm would unconsciously tighten even more.

”Kei...”

”Kei... Don’t go anywhere... I like Kei... very... like...”

Kai mumbled in his sleep, his voice hoarse as if he were searching for him.

”Don’t call my name like that...”

Kei gritted his teeth and gently pried the arm wrapped around him off.

After struggling for a while, he finally escaped from the bed, ignoring Kai’s vague calls after him, and ran straight into the bathroom.

As soon as the door closed, Kei braced both hands on the sink, lifting his head to look at himself in the mirror. A bright pink mark stood out on his slender neck.

Kei froze. A few seconds later, his eyes slowly widened.

”You’re crazy...”

Kei covered his neck with his hand, his face flushing red.

”Kim Kei, you’re really crazy! That’s the black dragon you raised yourself!”

He screamed in silence, then helplessly dropped his head onto the sink.

It was a long time before Kei let out a sigh and began brushing his teeth and washing his face, as if those familiar motions could calm his mind again.

But the more he tried not to think about it, the clearer the memories of last night became.

Kei immediately closed his eyes.

Before, he had already realized early on that he had no interest in women.

Daniel, that corrupted warrior name, had been involved with many different women. He had even deliberately taken Kei to get to know them, but no matter how beautiful the other party was, Kei felt nothing.

Daniel had once seriously concluded, ”Kei, could it be that you have ED?”

At the time, Kei didn’t quite understand, but he couldn’t be bothered to argue either.

As for whether he liked men or not, he had never had the chance to find out, until last night...

Kei’s cheeks burned red.

So men could actually be that intimate with each other?

He looked at himself in the mirror, his expression both confused and stunned. The world Kei had known seemed to have suddenly opened a new door.

That feeling made him uneasy, but he also couldn’t deny that it didn’t bother Kei at all.

It’s just... Kei lowered his head, his ears burning red.

Why did his first have to be Kai of all people?

That was the little dragon he had raised from an egg!

Kei hurriedly splashed cold water on his face, trying to extinguish the chaotic thoughts in his head.

But the more he tried to forget, the more he remembered the way Kai held him tightly, that hoarse voice and those eyes that refused to look away.

Kei’s body grew hot, and he screamed at himself inwardly:

”Stop thinking about it! This is strange, forget it!”

Just then, the bathroom door was pushed open, and Kei startled, turning his head.

Kai walked in with his eyes still tightly shut. His long hair was tousled, his face sleepy, and he moved no differently from a large beast just leaving its den.

Kei swallowed hard, his throat so dry it ached.

The bathroom door was left ajar behind Kai, but light from the hallway still seeped through the gap, tracing the outline of the tall body standing with its back to him.

Kai’s eyes were still shut tight, his breathing steady and heavy, clearly in a half-awake, half-asleep state.

His underwear was hastily pulled down to mid-thigh, revealing the firm curves of his buttocks and the thing hanging loose in front, which were the two German sausages that had been bouncing around in Kei’s mind all this while.

Kei stood frozen in a corner of the bathroom, gripping the edge of the sink tightly.

His skin burned from the inside out, every hair on the back of his neck standing up.

The heat of last night, that feeling of his fingers touching that smooth yet astonishingly firm skin... now came rushing back with twice the intensity. He didn’t dare breathe heavily, afraid that his breathing would give away how unsettled he was.

Kai raised his hand, unconsciously stroking along his lower body, his thumb gliding over the slightly damp tip. A small moan escaped from his throat, hoarse, like a sigh from someone dreaming of something very real.

Kei could see every vein surfacing beneath the skin, could see the way it twitched slightly as Kai squeezed his hand.

”...Kei.”

The sound of water trickled out...

Kai called his name in a drowsy voice, still not opening his eyes.

But that name made Kei feel like he had been electrocuted.

He realized Kai clearly knew he was right there and was looking at him, this damned dragon was teasing him!

Kai was obviously not fully awake yet, but he still followed Kei’s breath to find him after taking care of his morning issue upon waking up.

”Kei... He he he...”

He mumbled, walking straight toward him, and Kei immediately backed up against the sink.

”Kai, wait! You’re not fully awake yet, right?”

Kai didn’t answer. He just stepped forward, bent down to hug Kei from behind, and rested his chin on his shoulder.

”Where did you go?”

”I just came in here to wash my face!”

”But when I woke up and didn’t see you, I went looking for you right away! Don’t go to a place where I can’t see you, Kei... Kei...”

Kai’s voice carried a hint of sulkiness.

His arms tightened around Kei’s waist, making him unable to move. Kei looked at the face pressed against his neck, then at the red mark on his neck reflected in the mirror.

His face immediately flushed red again.

”Kai...”

”Hmm?”

”From now on... don’t you dare use that thing on me without permission. And stop biting my neck!”

Kai opened his eyes, seriously looked at the red mark on Kei’s neck through the mirror, and said in a proud tone:

”But this way everyone will know Kei is mine.”

”No!”

Kei immediately turned his head and glared at him. Kai blinked, completely confused about what he had said wrong.

After a moment, he lowered his head, pressing his forehead against Kei’s shoulder, his voice softening.

”Then next time I’ll be more careful.”

”There won’t be a next time! Don’t even dream about it!”

Kei replied immediately, but his voice lacked the firmness he had intended. Hearing that, Kai smiled and continued to hold him tightly.

From outside the door, Kim Sora’s voice rang out, full of concern: ”Kei, what’s going on in there?”

”Nothing!”

Kei answered too quickly.

Kai nuzzled his face into his shoulder again.

”Kei, are we still sleeping together tonight?”

Silence fell outside immediately.

Kei stared at his own reflection in the mirror, feeling completely blank-minded.

After a moment, Kim Sora slowly asked:

”Do you need me to prepare another room?”

”I don’t need it!”

Kei shouted, but his trembling voice betrayed everything.
