There's No Love In the Deathzone (BL) novel Chapter 623

Chapter 623: Side Story 1. The Twilight Zone - 5

It didn’t end with the abrupt love-making in the kitchen, but it also didn’t end with just the bedroom.

Bassena was both excited and intrigued about this. Between the two of them, it had always been clear that he had a higher sexual drive. Zein might initiate things sometimes, but in the end, Bassena would take the reign in their bed.

That morning, however, Zein snatched it completely, before the both of them drowned in a pleasure so intense they just moved by instinct alone. The instinct to tangle with each other, to carve each other’s existence, to fill each other’s mind with nothing but them.

Honestly, Bassena lost his mind about halfway through, as if he were an animal in a rut. Was it because Zein led him by the collar made of alluring whispers and perverted requests? Perhaps. It felt crazier than their time on the cruise ship, maybe because the pleasure was increased by their bond.

The point was, they skipped meals and ate horny on their precious vacation.

When Bassena came to it, the sun had started going down again, and Zein let out a tired laugh when the esper frantically ordered many meal deliveries to feed them dinner.

Well, at least Zein looked happy. Understandably exhausted after their whirlwind of passionate exercise, but happy nonetheless.

Bassena couldn’t help but stare at the guide all the time while they were eating. His lips curled easily as Zein devoured the delivered food, and there was just something that made the guide look even prettier than before. What a pickle--Zein had already been very pretty before, but he was simply breathtaking now.

Was it because they were imprinted? Bassena had no idea, and he didn’t care. It was just...truly bad for his heart, because it became harder to concentrate on other things with Zein kept running around in his head looking all shining and pretty.

Ahh...to be suffering from such a beautiful dilemma--what a lucky bastard you are, Bassena Vaski.

Humming happily while taking up a mug of hot chocolate--with little marshmallows just like how Zein liked it--Bassena went to the balcony where he saw the guide looking at the winter sky with a solemn expression and suddenly, his heart clenched.

He had always been sensitive to Zein’s changing mood, and while the view of the guide watching the dimming sky was breathtakingly beautiful, it also pulled up some worries in Bassena’s mind.

Why was Zein suddenly looked serious? Was this some kind of after-sex clarity? Did he suddenly regret everything?

Even after getting imprinted and engaged, Bassena’s old insecurity kept on coming up.

"Zein?" Bassena asked carefully, placing the hot chocolate on the patio table. "Is something wrong?"

The guide blinked and turned toward him--the solemn expression shifted into confusion. "No? Why would there be?"

"You seemed..." Bassena paused to swallow his worry. "You looked like you have been thinking hard about something."

Zein tilted his head slightly, before turning toward the twilight sky again and hummed. A subtle smile played on his lips. "I was on the phone with Abel earlier."

Huh? Bassena blinked at a reply that did not answer his question. But Zein didn’t look like he finished talking, so Bassena sat on the floor, leaning onto Zein’s legs, and looked up in attention.

"Did you receive it? Reina texted me, saying we should have a double date dinner or something since it’s--what you call it? Valentine?"

"Ah..."

But what had that got to do with anything?

"So I remembered that it was Abel’s wedding anniversary and texted him congratulations," Zein raised the commlink in his left hand, before placing it back on the table. "He called me then and we talked a bit while you were down there."

"...you remember his wedding anniversary but not us?"

Bassena frowned, pursing his lips at the slight argument they had three months ago. It strangely felt like something that happened a long time ago though, and Zein laughed at the pouting esper.

"I remembered your birthday," he rubbed the esper’s jutting lower lip. "And...I don’t know; it just doesn’t feel like an ’anniversary’ to me."

Bassena felt like he had just been electrocuted. His back straightened and his eyes widened. "W-why?"

"It’s not like we had a grand confession or anything," Zein shrugged, curling his lips in amusement at the cute reaction of his boyfriend. Ah, no--fiance. "Well, you started calling me ’boyfriend’ then, but at that point, everyone already thought we were an item anyway."

"Ugh--well...that’s true, but..."

Zein watched the--almost--strongest esper awkwardly scratching his neck in a fluster, smiling in satisfaction at the thought that he was the only one who could see this Bassena.

So he threw a service.

"And it wasn’t like I didn’t like you before then," Zein said nonchalantly, prompting the esper to freeze on site. Not even the amber eyes were blinking. "You must know it too," Zein laughed, tickling the esper’s chin to move the broken flustered doll in front of him. "I was already showing you so much affection--much more than I show anyone else. Hmm, no--if it comes to it, I never show affection to anyone else."

When Zein opened his eyes again, Bassena saw that same solemn expression he had seen earlier, and his heart finally felt more at ease. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}
