Chapter 38: Having to work on my jealous side

Kevin, who after hearing him say so casually that he was going to have to spend a lot of time with another man than him, felt a nameless fury seized him instantly.

When suddenly the rational part of his brain reminded him of a piece of information that seemed very important : "Erik ? Alan's boyfriend ?"

Axel nodded and Kevin looked relieved : "No worries then ! When I have the time I will go see him in his training to see how good he is and I will see how I can help him."

Axel then asked him curious by his reaction : "What is it Kev ? Why did you seem relieved that it was Alan's boyfriend ?"

Kevin answered him honestly : "Well, you just told me that you were going to have to spend a lot of time with another man, the fact that he is Alan's boyfriend will prevent me from wanting to cut his throat every time I see him with you."

Axel chuckled but his laughter stopped when he saw that Kevin seemed really serious : "Babe, you can't be serious, are you ?"

Kevin said while frowning, he didn't know what was wrong with what he said : "I'm dead serious, why ?"

Axel put his hand on his cheek and said to him : "You know that you can't kill just anybody anytime, you need a good reason for that."

Axel was still caressing his cheek and he said helplessly, who would had thought that Kevin was the jealous type : "You know, I'm pretty popular in the Sun Sect and sometimes it's really annoying, but we can't do anything about it and you can't kill them, we can just endure it.

You just have to remember that there is only you for me and don't let anyone make you think that there is someone else, otherwise I will kill them myself."

Kevin grabbed Axel's sweater collar and kissed him fiercely, he told him : "I'm sorry Axel but this feeling is disturbing me, like I told you before this is the first time I've been in a relationship with someone, and I feel that I'm going to have to work on my jealous side ... But I can't guarantee you anything … I will just try not to kill anyone without a good reason."

Axel then kissed him passionately and whispered in his ear : "There is only you for me, and in a year we will be leaving the Sun Sect so don't mind those who like to create trouble."

Kevin nodded and then said smiling : "I think we forgot one thing ... We forgot that we were in a public place."

Axel looked up and indeed everyone were looking at them shocked at their behavior. That didn't stop Axel from kissing Kevin's tempting lips one last time and then he said : "Eat, we still have a lot to do before we get home."

Kevin smiled at him and they continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Axel explained to him that Erik was going to pass the selections to be able to participate in the annual tournament in the capital, and that Alan was going to apply to be his tutor.

Kevin was delighted, Alan seemed to be a very powerful mage and he was sure to learn a lot from him.

When they had finished eating, they decided to go buy clothes first, Axel mostly needed sports clothes because it was with this kind of clothes that he felt comfortable to train and to fight, which occupied 80% of his time, the remaining 20% being reserved for his resting moments or for the obligatory ceremonies that he couldn't escape.

Kevin bought for himself a few outfits as well, he had no idea what his classes were going to be like, and since he didn't like to stay with dirty clothes on him, in case his alchemy classes turned out to be a disaster, it was better to prevent than cure.

Then, once their purchases were complete, Axel led him to Tony's shop and when Tony saw Axel, he came over to greet him warmly.

Tony was surprised to see Axel with someone else, and when Axel introduced him to Kevin, he didn't hide the fact that Kevin was his boyfriend, on the contrary, he seemed very proud to introduce him this way which made Tony smile.

Tony said to Kevin : "Kevin make yourself at home here, if one day you come without Axel and I'm not in the shop, don't hesitate to ask my men to come and get me, I live just above the shop."

Kevin was surprised to receive this kind of favor but Axel had told him that he had known Tony for several years now, so he said to him with sincerity : "Thanks Tony, I won't hesitate then."

Tony turned to Axel again and asked him as usual : "Are you coming to buy or to sell ?"

Axel grinned at him and said : "To sell, it's all in there."

Tony took the magic bag that Axel was showing to him and quickly opened it to see what Axel had brought him this time, and when he realized what were inside, it made him speechless.

The magic bag was chock full of monster bodies of all kinds, weapons, but what caught his attention was the ore.

It was Nerudium, and at first glance it was of medium grade quality and there was damn a lot of it.

Tony asked to make sure Axel knew what he was doing, after all, Axel wasn't just a great customer, over the years a friendship and trust had grown between them : "Axel, you know what is that ore, isn't it ?"

Axel just nodded with a big smile, Tony asked again puzzled : "Are you sure you want to sell it ?"

Axel said without hesitation : "Everything inside this magic bag is for you, as long as you give me a fair price for it."

Tony immediately said to him : "Don't worry my prices are always the most honest on the market … Tell me, have you stumbled upon a dungeon again by chance ?"

Axel laughed and told him the truth : "Two days ago it was really by chance, but today with Kevin we went into the Wildlands with the goal of finding a dungeon, and what you have there is what we have found inside."

Tony knew that Axel was very powerful so he wasn't really surprise that he decided to loot dungeons on his own, ha no that's right, it seemed like it was an activity he shared with his boyfriend.

May be he just wanted to impress him because this young man looked rather weak comparing to Axel, but he had to admit that Axel had great taste, Kevin was handsome.

Actually, what surprised him the most was that Axel had waited this long to start looting dungeons on his own.
