Hidden beauty

A thin trail of wispy silver saliva hung between the lips of both boys, as they were forced to break away from their kissing upon hearing a knock at the door.

Callan watched bemused as instantaneously, Adrian pushed him away, wiped his mouth, deepened his blush, and raced towards his bathroom, instantly locking himself inside.

At first, the prince was impressed at the speed at which Adrian flusteredly scampered away, and then he burst out into laughter, and anyone who had known that he was the prince would've been surprised to see this unusual sight of genuine amusement instead of polite falsery.

The knocking resounded once more and Callan shifted himself smoothly to his feet, and tidied up his own clothes, making it seem like nothing out of the ordinary had just occurred in the dorm, although the opposite could've been said to be true. As he approached the door, Callan's dark red tongue licked the corners of his slightly bruised mouth.

He could still taste Adrian.

"Is there something you need?" The prince opened the door and was greeted with the sight of one of the Academy staff, wheeling a trolley with a huge pile of luggage upon it.

"Is Adrian Oreanus in here?" The staff member, a stout-looking middle-aged man answered Callan's question with another one in a rather annoyed tone. He wasn't sure what that damn student named Adrian had packed into his luggages but in all his time working here, he'd never seen a first-year with so many bags that weighed so much that it was a surprise the trolley hadn't broken yet.

In reality, the staff member could've taken three or more trips to haul all the luggage here but that was beneath his pride as a man so he'd gritted his teeth and bore with it, and thus created a situation where his whole body currently ached and he wanted to give the brat who caused his a good scolding.

Little did the man know that his targeted 'brat' was currently desperately running cold water all over their face in the bathroom in an effort to calm themselves down. Although the tap water here couldn't compare to that of the oceans, because he was a mermaid having water come into contact with his skin instantly calmed him down and soothed him.

Adrian stared into the silverplated mirror and into his own blue eyes. They were wide and red-tinted as his fingers stroked the edges of his own lips, remembering that pleasant sensation, and sighed guiltily because he didn't want to change rooms anymore.

He wasn't entirely sure what had just happened but he knew he wanted to bask in that warm, comfortable again, although it scared him just how much his body seemed to crave Callan's touch and how good it made him feel. Imagine if they went one step further.... how would it feel then?

NO! Adrian cupped his hands and splashed even more water onto his porcelain face and groaned in frustration.

He'd never had an interest in 'these' sorts of things before so he couldn't ignore the possibility that because he was a virgin, he was way too easily stimulated by small things. Did it matter that the recipient was his roommate and his fiery touch in particular or was he just sexually frustrated and willing to pounce on anything?

Calming himself down, Adrian vowed that later when he had the time he'd go experiment, so maybe it was for the best that Callan couldn't read minds otherwise he would've coughed up blood at Adrian's thought of running around.

Using one of his wet hands, Adrian comforted his nipples that were still standing tall from Callan's kiss, back to softness, before he put his shirt on and calmly exited the bathroom to see who had rung the doorbell.

And thus created a situation where the worker, who was initially very annoyed was greeted with the fine sight of a young slender man, stepping into sight. He had long and lustrous blonde hair that was draped across his shoulders matching perfectly with his porcelain white skin which combined to give him a delicate and untouchable air, which made one only want him more.

As the boy turned to him, his eyes were round like the moon and as depthlessly deep and blue as the ocean. His lips were a soft shade of velvety red and curved slightly up, and this coupled with the loose white shirt that hung loosely down his torso showing a small splash of the tender skin beneath made him seem like an angel descended from the heavens above as one's eyes felt blessed just from the sight.

Although it left much up to the imagination, even if one was straight, the very thought of what lay beneath his casual attire was enough to make anyone flustered and the man couldn't help but feel the same and instantly the thought of slapping this pure faced boy was evicted from his mind.

Callan noticed the man's reaction and his brow furrowed as he closed the door more and shifted his body towards the doorway, blocking most of Adrian from his sight.

It would seem that the prince's possessive nature that been triggered.

Of course, the man had no clue that the other boy was someone of high status and didn't care about the dangerous glint surfacing in his eyes, as he continued to gawk at the spectacular sight moving closer.

Oblivious, Adrian's eyes lit up when he saw his luggage on the trolley wheeled by the worker.

"Ah, thank you for delivering it!" He beamed at the man, who could only cough and reply that it was simply his duty as a worker and that there was no need to thank him.

Remembering how heavy the luggage was, the man kindly offered if the boy needed any help but before he could finish his question, Callan had already, in flash, had the luggages hovering in the air, as though weightless.

Why on earth they didn't deliver everything using mana in the first place he didn't understand.

"You can use wind magic?" Adrian turned to him in surprise and in response Callan chuckled.

"Can you see my earring?" He brushed a lock of grey hair aside and revealed a small murky green stud pierced through his left ear, "It's an artifact that lets me use a little bit of wind magic."

"ahhh." Adrian noted before turning his gaze away from Callan's ears. His roommate had nice ears...

Callan noticed his shyness and chuckled.

Seeing that his job here was done, the worker scampered away with the trolley with excitement. He couldn't wait to tell the other workers about the beauty of dorm S-12!
