Magic With You

"Where are you even taking me?" Noom asked curiously. "Somewhere we can be alone" Krad answered and gave the other man a wink

"Oh? Aren't you so sweet" Noom said and while giving Krad a teasing poke on his side. "Yeah, and aren't you annoying?" Krad said and rolled his eyes for the nth time. "Hahaha fine, I'll stop teasing you .... for now"

"Well, for a virgin you're quite good at teasing" After saying this, Krad started walking away with Noom glaring at his back "Jerk!" Noom cursed and followed the other man. He was also curious as to where Krad is taking him

Exiting the Magic Tower, there is a carriage already waiting for them. As Calter owned a whole city under him, he had the economic capability to buy tons of Cloud Stepping Horses

Besides, Calter doesn't exploit the common people. It was the Nobles that are his slaves that gave him most of his current money along with all of Blaze's money and property

And since they aren't lacking any Knights, a mage that powerful is a mere coachman of theirs

As soon as they entered the carriage, Krad looked at Noom with urging eyes but the man acted as if he did not see it. "Come on, do I really have to say it?" Krad asked with a frown

To his misfortune, Noom just gave him an 'innocent' smile. "Why? what is it?"

In annoyance, Krad pinched Noom's nose a bit hard causing the latter to cry out in pain. "We are inside a carriage and it's just the two of us, are you seriously not going to rest your head on my shoulder?"

Noom removed Krad's fingers on his nose first and rub it gently to 'ease' the pain. "Hmm, really? Should I?" Noom really likes annoying Krad and acted like he's thinking if he should do what the other man said

"Come on, Mr. Virgin, just do it!" There is a saying that two can play the game. If Noom is annoying and teasing him then Krad will do the same!

Instead of being provoked, Noom just raised his head closer to the other man to the point that they can feel and smell each other's breath. "Virgin this, virgin that. If you want to do it with me just say it! Just because I'm a virgin doesn't mean I will act so shy!"

Krad was a bit taken aback. It would be a lie if he says that he doesn't want to do it with Noom. It's just that, he is being a 'gentleman' by not taking things too fast

"Seems like the little moon fairy really has a lot of courage!" Krad stated and hold Noom's chin on his hand

Noom acted confidently but since no one is speaking again, Krad can hear the latter's racing heart. The slight movement of Noom's throat also didn't escape his eyes

Wanting to teach the fairy a little lesson, Krad played with Noom's lips using his thumb. It caused Noom's heart to beat even harder as his heart is anticipating something but a confident look still hangs on his face

Krad just stared intensely at Noom's eyes while continuing what he was doing on the man's lips. They are in that position for a few minutes before Noom cannot take it anymore and averted his gaze

"Oh? I thought you're courageous? Why are you averting your gaze?" Krad teased and Noom glared at him before the latter regained his calm

"Well, I got bored with you acting like the virgin here" Noom said nonchalantly and pulled his body away while sighing a bit

"Y-you! You're really getting on my nerves!" Krad said through gritted teeth. He was just being a gentleman okay? Gentleman!

"It was your fault! You're the one treating me like an innocent lamb. Do you think I'm the same as our master's lover?" Noom asked while rolling his eyes

"I'm just treating you kindly, okay?" Krad clarified but Noom just rolled his eyes again. "Come on! I'm a man, I have needs too!"

Krad blinked his eyes repeatedly while digesting Noom's words on his mind. "You mean, you want to do it with me too?" Krad asked suspiciously

"Of course! I'm already this old yet I still haven't had sex before. Naturally, I'll want to do it too!" Noom said in a matter of fact tone. "Are you sure? I thought you're just trying to act bravely in front of me" Krad is still suspicious and wants to clarify things first

Noom raised his hand and flicked Krad on the forehead. "Idiot! I told you, I want to start experiencing the good things the world can offer. And just what is one of the good things in the world? It was a sex of course!"

Krad was taken aback at how direct and honest Noom is to the point that he didn't know how to react

"You are just so dense to realize it! Always treating me like a kid!" Noom complained and Krad can only scratch the back of his head

It's not like Krad had a serious lover before and this is something new to him too. He thought that treating your partner right and not going for the 'goal' immediately was the right thing to do. Seems like he was wrong and he was too dumb to realize that Noom is always provoking him so that they will have sex

"Alright, fine. We'll do it later, but we have our first date ahead, let's focus on that!" hearing this, Noom broke into a sweet smile. "Really?" Krad nodded his head while chuckling

Being excited at finally experiencing something good in the world, Noom took the initiative and rested his head on Krad's shoulder while humming a random tone

Krad can only shake his head bitterly. It seems like his previous actions are wrong. He was idolizing Calter because of the oath and he also genuinely admired the brilliant mind of his master

Seeing what type of couple Calter and Kence are, Krad unconsciously started imitating it. But he shouldn't have done that. He is different and so is Noom

They have their own preferences. Kence is a shy young man and Calter needs to be patient with him but Noom is different

A person that grew up while being restricted are anxious to do 'adventurous things'

Kence is still young but Noom is different. They are both old now and are much more mature. Besides, they both didn't grow up as innocently as Kence

It was wrong to compare the two relationship

'Seems like I still got a long way to go to become a good lover' Krad thought to himself and grabbed Noom's hand to intertwine it with his

Today, Krad realizes that he should become more proactive in the future.

----

After some time, the two finally reached their destination. It was on top of a high mountain with a large cliff. Although it was outside the city, there aren't that many magic beasts around. With their group having one Magic Knight and two Grand Knights, there's nothing much to fear

Krad took a cloth from his spatial ring and laid it on the ground. "I think we are early, we should eat first" Krad said and put foods like they are in a picnic

"Why here?" Noom asked curiously and took a seat in which Krad followed suit. "Well, I remember you saying that you like the moon. This mountain is high and when the night arrived, you would be able to see the moon clearer and closer"

Hearing the answer to his question, Noom smiled and bit and moved on Krad's side to give the man a kiss on the cheeks. "Aren't you a sweet little man?" Noom said with a smile

He doesn't show it much but Noom was greatly touched at Krad's answer. It has been months since that encounter yet Krad still remembered such 'insignificant' things. It made Noom really happy, no one was like this to him before

"Hahaha, just eat" Krad said and handed a sandwich to Noom. "You didn't make this right?" Noom asked suspiciously

"Of course not! I'm not a good cook. I just eat whatever I can in the past. How will I even be able to learn how to cook? I had the chefs made this"

Noom nodded his head and took a bite. It still wasn't that dark as the sun is still a bit visible. But it wouldn't be long before the moon grace its presence on this land

"You should eat too" Noom said 'caringly' and offered another sandwich to Krad.

Krad deciding that he should be more proactive accepted the sandwich while smirking. "I think it would be better if I eat you" Krad said shamelessly causing Noom to smirk back at him. "It seems like the previous virgin-like-man finally grew some balls"

"Yeah, I do. Wanna see it?" Noom almost choked on the sandwich from Krad's words. Although he's not that shy regarding sex things, but he is still a virgin and there is some shyness in him. Krad talking like this was new to him and his face flush a bit

"I thought you want it, why are you suddenly turning red?" Krad teased and Noom who doesn't want to be treated as an innocent child immediately recovered from his shyness

"What? You showing it to me now? That thing better be big or I might get bored" Noom provoked while he lowered his eyes to look at Krad's crotch before wetting his lips with his tongue

But since Krad now knew that Noom wants it too, he will act as perverted as he wants. Before, he was afraid that Noom will be turn off to him if he says too many dirty things. But now, he won't let his masculinity be provoked like this

"Trust me, you won't be disappointed" Krad said confidently and even spread his legs wider to give Noom a 'better view'

Noom gritted his teeth, it seems like winning on another verbal exchange with Krad is going to be difficult now and it made him dissatisfied

"I hope so" Noom answered and licked the sandwich in on his hand in an 'inappropriate' way while looking straight into Krad's eyes

Krad clenches his jaws while staring daggers at Noom. Who would have thought that this fairy will tease him like this? He suddenly got jealous of that sandwich and he wants to replace it with his...

"I hope someone here can last long and not cum in a minute like virgin people does" Krad said nonchalantly after he recovered and continued eating

Noom glared angrily at Krad while his hand's grip on the sandwich tightened turning it a bit mushy. "Hmph!" Noom harrumphed and just turned to look at the sky, wishing that it'll be night soon so that he'll be able to see the moon

After this, the 'sexual tension' vanished and the atmosphere returned back to normal. Noom rested his head on Krad's shoulder again as he waited to see the moon and stars

"Hmm, how about, you, do you like the moon?" Noom suddenly asked out of nowhere causing Krad to stare at the moon more intensely than before

Krad raised his hand towards the now visible moon as if he wants to reach it. "I don't particularly like or hate the moon before. But now, whenever I see or hear the word moon, I'll immediately remember you. So I guess in some ways, I like the moon now"

Noom smiled sweetly at that. "I think you're just saying that to make me feel good"

Krad lowered his head to look at the man on his shoulder with a serious look on his face. "I'm saying the truth. Aren't you the reason why we are here?"

A gentle wind blew by swaying Noom's heart in the process and his smile deepened. It was a smile that reaches both his heart and ears. A smile he never had before. "Want to kiss me now? It's romantic doing it under the moon with this atmosphere right?"

Krad chuckled bitterly at that "Don't you think you saying that will just ruin the mood? Romantic things are romantic because they are spontaneous! They are not something that people will talk about then suddenly decide that it is romantic"

Realizing his mistake, Noom turned a bit red before his pride won over him. "Well, whatever. If I'm going to have my first kiss, it'll be better if it is under this condition"

Krad nodded his head and cupped Noom's face in his hands. "Then I'll gladly take the honor of being your first kiss"

Krad lowered his head and the lips of the two slowly inched closer. Their lips gently touch against each other and the wondrous sensation it brought forced their eyes to close

A sense of joy sprouted on Noom's heart as he finally had his first kiss after all these years

The two shared a sweet kiss with the moon as their witness. It wasn't a sensual one like how they usually talk tease each other. It was instead a pure one that was full of emotions and feelings. Their feelings for each other were still budding but that quickly sprouted by just this one kiss.. A kiss that made them feel various things they have never felt before. A kiss so magical and wonderful that it will make everyone yearn for it
