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

Chapter 179 - Hah! The joke is on you!

However, the trip that Levi was looking forward to the most wasn't his honeymoon but the one that was currently in progress – going to the bedroom to sleep with his baby! (ﾉ*^o^)ﾉ*

The two boys made their way towards the guest room Levi had settled himself in. And all the while, Levi guardedly looked left and right, expecting one wild father-in-law to jump out of the bushes to stop them at any moment.

And indeed, lo and behold! The man himself had finally appeared, fully clothed in battle armor (of fake smiles) and prepared to fight it out to the (metaphorical) death! ψ(╬｀∇')ψ

"Father-in-law," Levi politely nodded his head, but his eyes spoke of a different story, 'How come I've never seen you guarding your daughter's chastity this enthusiastically in the 6 years I've been dating her?' (°ㅂ°╬)

"Son-in-law," Cordia daddy nodded back, but his smile expressed a clear 'Gee, I wonder. (°ㅂ°╬) How come I've never seen you sneaking into my daughter's room in the middle of the night over the 6 years you've been "dating" her?'

The eyes of the two combatants locked. Thunder and lightning rumbled in the background. Sparks flew in the air!

The one very clueless sheep, that was being led by the arm into a wolf's den by the den's owner himself, "Hey, dad. We are going to retire for tonight. You should rest up early, too." ╰(*°▽°*)╯

The two combatants whose faceoff of life and death was interrupted so anticlimactically, "..."

Cordia daddy avoided looking into the clear eyes of his gullible offspring and instead eyed the wolf's hand that was wrapped around the mentioned offspring's upper arm. "You are going to retire for tonight? In Levi's room?" (ꐦ ◠‿◠)

Noah didn't notice the sharpness within the words and waved it away with a melodious puff of laughter, "No, I'm just going over to help Levi fall asleep with my soothing."

Cordia daddy shot his son a profound look, "And how long will that take? If he refuses to fall asleep, what will you do? Sleep next to him until the morning?"

Not expecting such a question, Noah blinked his large eyes and tilted his head in confusion, "My soothing is very effective; there should be no issues in helping him fall asleep–" Noah abruptly halted his words. If his father's exasperated expression was anything to go by, he might have misinterpreted the other's meaning.

Noah paused to recall his father's words, "...If he refuses to fall asleep?" Then his eyes widened, and a giggle escaped him, "What do you take him as? A child throwing a tantrum? He wouldn't do that!"

The 'child throwing a tantrum' Levi who planned to do precisely that, "..." (￢з￢)

At that moment, Cordia daddy made a perfect picture of a father whose son failed to live to expectations. He let out a long sigh of disappointment, wrote his son off as a failed cause, and moved onto the real 'enemy' here.

"Oh, right! Son-in-law..." Cordia daddy's face warped into a big smile, making him resemble an old fox. "Have you had a word with your father yet?"

Levi's spider-sense tingled, and he nearly took a step back, "No. Why?" (≖_≖)

"Oh, no reason," Cordia daddy shrugged his shoulders, "I just heard he was looking for you."

The shrewd wolf Astar Levi finally understood. This disagreeable father-in-law of his called for backup! That's why he has been smiling that crafty smile the entire day!

But...

'Hah! The joke is on you!' Levi's lip curled up, 'You think my parents can stop me from sleeping with my baby? Dream on! No one can stop me from sleeping with my precious tonight!' Levi turned his nose up at this pitiful move from his opponent. What a futile attempt of a counter! 'Heh, father-in-law, it's your loss this time! Let me tell it to you upfront! Even if the end of the world arrived right at this moment, I'd still be sleeping with your son tonight!'

...

The 'confident in his victory' Astar Levi, five minutes later, "Baby, change of plans. You should go ahead and sleep without soothing me tonight..." (◞‸◟ )

Author Note

So, the question is... in how much detail do you guys want me to write about the honeymoon? What kind of place would you like them to visit / what kind of activity would you like them to try out (besides, you know, snu-snu (╹ڡ╹ ))?

Keep in mind that the honeymoon will be an extra, so it won't prolong the length of this arc nor detract from the main story.

P.S. Can you guess what important matter popped up? (ಡ艸ಡ)
