Ling Xie
The bathroom was filled with steam. With an arm beaced against the wall I let the hot water cascade over my body. My muscles had been tense this whole damn time since that bratty little omega appeared. I smirked at the images of Asher. His fists clench in his lap accusing me of what sounded like the worst transgression the omega has ever endured. I let loose a bark of laughter, remebering the way he had turned red with embarassment and yet remained to indignant. Asher was without a doubt fucking adorable and had managed to some how take up residence, rent-free, in my own mind. I am not a kind or soft person. Yet Asher seemed to bring out a side of me I never knew I had.
I turned off the water and stepped out, haphazardly qrapping a towel around my waist. Water droplets trickled down from hair to chest. I wiped the foggy mirror to take a look at the man in front of it. I knew I was an attractive man, but Asher really seemed to like the way he looked.
I scrutinized myself in the mirror. Long dark color lashes swept along bronzed high cheek bone. A small freckle at the corner of his left eye lent a hint of seduction with his up sweeping pheonix shaped eyes. His golden eyes seemed to sparkle, finally coming to life adter being trapped in a dark cold winter. He had always kept his hair long, but for some reason his hair held a lustrousness it hadnt before. The fine black silky hairs stuck to his face as water continues to drip from his waist length hair.
Then finally, after avoiding as long as he could, paid attention to the multicolored lotus bloom displayed across his upper chest. Never before have I seen such a large symbol. At most they are the size of a coin. The largest ever seen had been with the first S-class Guide. She and her packs symbols were the size of a childs hand. Yet each and every one of his pack's symbols covered a large surface area. I used a finger to trace the outline of the lotus over and over before sighing.
Instinctively he wanted to trust Asher. He wanted to keep him safe within the confines of the pack. Yet his logical brain often made useless comments. I grabbed a second towel and start to roughly dry the rest of my body.
I opened the door to ny bedroom, steam billowing out of the door. I heard a soft gasp from the bed, turning my eyes to look at the now wide awake Asher. I took my time taking in his form. Perhaps my eyes looked greedy to him.
His long hip length hair draped over his body like a cloak of feathers. Soft and fluffy, the tips of his hair was definitely black, but to me it often looked at those stars were glittering in those black tips. His skin was as pale as freshly fallen snow, and his peach-blossom blue eyes sparkled as he stared at me.
"Wow yours is pretty big, huh?" Asher quipped. At my confused look he pointed to my chest. "Your lotus."
"Ah. Well everyones seems to be roughly a quarter of the section where the bloom is." Asher was hypnotic to me. His voice gentle, infused with wonder made me crave more from him. I wondered what it would sound like as he cried out in pleasure underneath me. Asher looked startled at the wolfish craving that showed on my face, and I could only offer him an apologetic grin.
"Hey, I want a tablet." Asher was languidly reclined against the headboard, using it as a back rest. His blue eyes glittered with eagerness, as his foot shook back and forth in an energetic manner. If the little guide's tail was out it wpuld definitely be wagging.
"How do you propose to get one?" My right eyebrow quirked up. How did he even know what a tablet was? He had been in islatiom, unconsious, then in heat, then unconsious again. His xiao huxian should have zero knowledge of this world. "Also the translation devices won't help with reading."
Asher waved his hand unconcerned with that.
"Well aren't you my pack alpha? Shouldnt you take care of all that for me?" Those gliterring blue eyes held mischievousness that had my swallowing.
"I'll need to talk to Squid." I looked away from the oblivious huxian. "We also need to find clothes that fit. You can't wander around in my t-shirt." My t-shirt hung off his lithe form , revealing his smooth shoulder, a shoulder that Ling Xie had a dark desire to mark with his teeth.
"Ugh. So over rated!" He threw back his head and made a growling sound. It was...fucking adorable. When had Ling Xie ever seen someone liked this. His xiao huxian seemed to be both sly and naive. He was without a doubt a complete enigma. It made me growl unconsiously seeing the flesh of his neck bared to me. Asher cocked his head to the side before grinning.
"Hey...you're pretty naked and I like to bite" he snapped his teeth threateningly at me. I could help but chuckle at his cute threat. I grabbed some clothes from my dresser, the went back into the bathroom to get dressed.
=====================≈=========
Asher Gwyn
Fuck...it is one thing to see a well built sexy man, shirtless, with delicious water droplets trailing down his firm pecs, down his six pack, and even further gulp. But seeing it in real life is a whole 'nother fucking story. I now get the whole nose bleed thing in anime now. I was having responses a perfectly healthy young mam should have. Except I had a few problems.
First problem is, I barely know the guy. Yet to counter that most I feel like I have known him forever. One of the things that keeps bothering me as I interact with this guy is that he feels so familiar. Yet I can not place a single finger on what it is that makes him so. I ruffle my hair in frustration.
Second problem, I have no idea where the fuck I am. I mean this place seems similar to Earth, my original world. As I thought about this world, mixed with magic and tech, I searched through my inventory for something to wear.
I pulled out a black robe with white embroidery of waves and a large YinYang painted on the back. I have similar robes in white. The style was very similar to those from the Han dynasty from Earth. A white gold hair pin to secure my top-knot.
I don't think this is future Earth, but at the same time it could be. In theory, if the bad guys who started this whole various world extermination process, were trying to corrupt all worlds and dimensions, it would make sense that this could be future Earth. I took off what I was wearing and started to get dressed lost in thought.
I need to go outside and I need to read up on the history. I pulled ny hair into a top-knot and secure it. I turned and saw Ling Xie standing there, staring at me. His face was red as a tomato and he seemed flustered.
"You just...without a care. You're really not self aware at all are you?"
"I am perfectly self aware. It's just no ome can get the upper hand over me." I flash him an arrogant grin and point to myself.
"I'm a Saint. The only reason I'd be sent here is the gods want me to save this world" i actually giggled. I failed to save people in both of my previous worlds. I'll definitely save people this time. This time I won't fail. This time, my fingers brush where my bloomed lotus is under my clothing, I have tech, magic, and Espers. "Let's go meet the Squid creature!"
Ling Xie stared at me blankly before flick my forehead.
"What squid creature? Squid is the name of our tech person. All tech objects are registered to a singular person." I covered my forehead with my hands and glared.
"That's rude! Also how do you register to just one person?"
Ling Xie let out a sigh. "Come with me."
With that he led me out of the room.
