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

Chapter 125 - Today's accident would absolutely not repeat!

After realizing that his dallying in the bathroom became a cause for his brother's concern, Noah hurried up with his half-bath, half-shower as if on steroids.

Ah, he had really lost his mind crossing metaphorical swords with Blackie! To think it hadn't occurred to him that he might worry his good brother! And he even made the other wait for him for so long!

And thus, like a little pink hurricane, Noah whizzed through the bathroom in record-breaking time. Swiftly showered, dried himself with the towel, and then... abruptly halted in front of the door out as if he had short-circuited.

Ah...

Ah, ah! He still wasn't quite ready to face Levi...! (⁄ ⁄> ﹏ <⁄ ⁄)

How could he face him after everything that happened?!

Levi might not think much of it, but to Noah, what they had done wasn't something that could be written off as 'good bros helping each other out'! He, Noah, wasn't that kind of casual person! On the contrary, his opinions on love, sex, and marriage were quite traditional! To sum it up in 6 simple words: he was raised by a nun!

Thus, no matter how he comforted himself afterward, with his mind clear from the Levi-induced haze, the final verdict could only be that what they had done together was definitely not something that should be done between good brothers!!

Once that line of acceptable intimacy between bros was crossed, how could he possibly view his relationship with Levi in the same way?

And as if the situation wasn't messy enough on its own, now he has the whole Soul Coupling thing added to the mix as well! ○|￣|_

Previously he had been able to keep his mind away from the matters of romance because he had thought himself as destined to remain single for life. But now that a door opened in front of him to an entirely new world, he could no longer keep the same mentality!

Sure, he was caught off guard by the appearance of the door and left feeling complicated. Yes, he wasn't sure whether he should step through the door. And, indeed, couldn't tell whether the world on the other side was better or worse!

But that door was undoubtedly there! So how could he pretend it didn't exist?!

Bah, even if he ignored the whole soulmates thing, it was still a fact that he had done spicy things with Levi! So how could he still view Levi the same way now that there was a possibility that he, Noah, could like men?!

Apparently, Noah wasn't asexual, and judging by the fact that he had just been 'serviced' by another dude and felt no rejection towards the idea... it would seem men weren't a no-go for him! Sure, it was still too early to give out a final verdict on his sexuality, but judging by the current empirical evidence, his chances of being gay were much higher than being straight, ah! QAQ

In fact, if Blackie's story had even a smidgen of credibility to it, it would mean that this whole soul matching thing wasn't random and actually meant something. So what did it say about him if his own soul especially liked another man's soul?!

...Noah hoped it said something nice. 〒▽〒 Like, 'true love knows not for boundaries of race, age, and gender'. When he thought about it like that, being bisexual sounded pretty awesome!

Yeah, now that he thought about it, if he did turn out to like men, it wouldn't be that hard to accept. Yeah, yeah! If he liked someone, then why would it matter whether they had an extra appendage down there?

No, wait, wait, wait! If Blackie could be believed, this whole soul compatibility thing went both ways! So if Noah was a lovely openminded dumpling that had no issue with genders that just happened to find Levi especially pleasing to the eye, wouldn't that mean that Levi wasn't 100% straight either?!
