NPC Max Rep Mayhem | BxB [Hiatus]

2: Event Notification

At least she has a pretty modest character design. Not too flashy and none of the excessive skin exposure he often saw in other gamers.

He was sure this was the Blade Master NPC he was meeting. Afira walked over and politely called out, "Hello Miss Rinai, it's good to meet you."

As the Blade Master turned he realized his mistake. That's definitely a man, he was burning with embarrassment at calling the male a miss. Ah, crap will he be angry? Probably won't be willing to form a party anymore.

At least he's a very cute man. It'll be a shame if he doesn't want to talk to me after this. I shook myself from my daze, this isn't the time to check him out I should be apologizing. He thought all this in an instant as the NPC looked bewildered and then embarrassed.

The man just looked so shocked and was checking his own appearance.

"I'm so sorry! As soon as you turned I could see you're a man. I.. just it's that from behind. The hair and umm the belts accentuated the hips. There's that long skirt type thing and umm your so graceful and slender looking I just guessed." He was so flustered he lost control of the thought to speech abilities of the game. Half of what he said was just his jumbled thoughts he hadn't meant to say out loud.

"Arhhgggh I'm babbling. Just... I'm sorry. Can you forget what happened?" he asked cringing.

The man has just been staring at him then looking at his hair, then belts and everything that was mentioned.

"No!" he finally said loudly.

Damn, well that's that then. He's pissed off I guess. Afira was disappointed.

"I can't forget it! This stupid skirt looking thing." He ripped it off. "Damn unnecessary belts." He unbuckled and dropped them. "Useless hair gets in the fucking way anyways!" As he took out a longish dagger and chopped his hair short dropping that too.

Afira was completely and utterly shocked senseless.

That was definitely unexpected. He continued to strip as Afira stood watching him dumbly. Feeling heated when the jacket and shirt dropped off. 

Wow, he's ripped! The kind with lean muscles just everywhere. The kind that is completely my type. Afira shook himself from his daze AS HE STARTED TO UNBUCKLE HIS PANTS!

"You can stop! Those are manly pants! No mistaking you anymore. I swear." Afira reached out his hand to the man's wrist, stopping his unbuttoning. They both froze and blushed at the awkward situation.

At that moment his control slipped again in his flustered state as thoughts of wanting to touch that delicious looking chest became reality.

Oh shit. No no no no inappropriate! Stop stop stop. Afira's naughty virtual hand finally listened to his more rational thoughts and stopped reacting to his dirty mind. His hand that had been drawing lazy circles around the man's chest dropped to his side and Afira stepped back.

By now he was fully expecting to be stabbed with one of Rinai's deadly looking swords. 

"N-nice pecs. Very m-manly." Afira squeaked and made a thumbs up gesture.

"Ok....thanks." the man smirked, " Very memorable meeting. How about we go and pick up supplies for the siege? I need some new gear too." Rinai just casually kicked the dropped gear aside and headed towards the market area.

Afira looked at him stunned. "You still want to form a party with me? Even after I've been such an ass." He was flabbergasted but hopeful as he stared at Rinai.

Rinai paused, then turned back. "Of course I do. You're the hero from the outside world. I never thought you would even respond to my message actually. I guess I expected someone uptight and formal. Even though the other NPCs all rave about you. But you're hilarious. And cute. I'm really relieved I don't have to be all rigid and formal as with other players. So let's go. Alright?" He held his hand out motioning for Afira to follow him.

So I did just that. In a daze at being called cute by the sexy Blade Master. I followed close behind letting him lead the way to wherever he needed to go. I caught myself almost touching his back and slapped my hand down. Looking at just his shoulders. His well-formed broad shoulders. Then that also was just way too hot. So I stopped looking at him entirely.

Kinda stopped looking at anything.

Like an idiot.

Almost falling on my face in the middle of the street.

Rinai moved in a flash to steady me. "T-thanks." 

He was damn fast. I took more time than I needed letting go of his strong arm.

"It's just there." Rinai was pointing at a small armor shop across the street. He leads the way as I followed face on fire with embarrassment at my behavior.
