Soul Shard Captor [BL] - Volume 1: Aris the Soother

Chapter 146 - Smooth, real smooth!

In the end, Noah, this good baby, could read the mood and decided to stay silent. Since the two, for some reason, didn't wish to go to dinner yet, then he'd go along with their plans.

And that's how the trio, with the accompaniment of several bodyguards, ended up going to the west skyscraper where there was a huge cinema. On the way there, every once in a while, there would be a camera flashing their way from the iron-blooded reporters who wouldn't let one terrorist attack get in the way of their bonus.

Naturally, the trio just ignored them.

Firstly, they were used to media attention. Secondly, they had nothing to hide. And thirdly, in the case of Levi and Maery, they hoped that the footage of today would go out because it could give more weight to their future explanation of the truth behind the change of marriage partners.

In that spirit, to give the media some more juicy shots, as soon as the trio entered the establishment, Maery giddily floated away, "You guys, wait here. I'm gonna go buy us tickets."

Noah was left standing there dumbfounded and uncomprehending, his hand stuck hanging in the air while reaching out towards his sister, '...sis! Ticket purchases are made online! And we didn't even decide on a movie yet!' (っ °Д °;)っ

After a moment of awkward silence, Noah turned to face Levi, looking apologetic, "Um... we haven't gone out together in a while... sis must be really excited, so she... uh..." After meeting Levi's deep eyes, Noah momentarily forgot what he wanted to say, "...is there a specific movie you wanted to watch?"

Levi naturally shook his head, "Anything is fine." He wouldn't be watching the movie anyway; he'd be watching his baby. "Shall we buy drinks and popcorn while we wait for her to get back?"

Noah agreed with an obedient nod, and thus, the two of them paid a fruitful visit to the drink vending machine and the popcorn machine, looking very much like a proper couple on a date.

One acted a bit shy but was otherwise very docile and considerate of the other. While the other switched from looking doting, to looking protective, to looking enamored, to looking like he wanted to eat the little one right then and there, and then back full circle.

When Maery came back from her totally pointless voyage to buy electronic tickets through her communicator, Levi was holding a drink in one hand and a huge paper bucket of popcorns in the other. Noah also had a drink in one hand, but his other was inside Levi's bucket of popcorn.

Maery felt gratified by the sight and shot a glance of praise in Levi's direction. So that big dolt wasn't that stupid after all! He managed to swindle her brother into sharing the same tub of popcorn with him!

Levi, who was actually just helping his baby hold his popcorn like a caring and considerate husband, "..." 'Please don't use your own crooked standards to judge my pure heart, thanks!'
(ꐦ ￣︿￣)

With a few taps on her light screen, Maery sent each of their communicators an electronic ticket. And then, without pause, she ushered them towards auditorium 3, "Hurry up, the movie is starting in a minute! It's not a 3D one, but the old fashioned 2D! No headset, so if we miss it, we can't rewind it!"

***

The trio made their way towards the row of seats marked with the same letter as written on their respective tickets.

Finding the right row, Noah happily went in, looked at the seat numbers searching for his number and Levi's, and then froze in place.

With his eyelid twitching, he turned to face his sister, only to realize she had plopped her butt down at the totally different section situated diagonally across from theirs.
