The Path of a Black Sheep in a Fantasy World (BL)

Chapter 25

Adam and Evan looked all over the task board. They took note of the most interesting tasks that were within their rank and still allowed them to travel to another city.

The continent they were in, Feloja, was mainly divided into four big countries, and then a few smaller ones that were ruled by the law of the jungle with terrible weather conditions. They were in the capital, the biggest city, called Kesenka. Each of the Big 4 were named after the royal family ruling over it. The other two big countries were named Valvios and Santiao. Adam had the goal to head to the least known city, Dispel. They would have more freedom.

They could always hide in the abandoned cities, but there weren't any guilds there, so they could only register at Dispel. Also, if they chose to go into unnamed cities, they would have to always be on guard and worried about their surroundings.

After Evan and Adam looked at all the pamphlets, they discussed their favorite tasks and finally settled on an escort one. They would need to guard a merchant's convoy until they reached Dispel, then they would head to the city's guild to collect their reward. It was perfect.

The couple walked back toward Sylvie after taking the paper sheet off the board and handed it to her. Adam mentioned that they would also like for their files to be transferred to the destination. The elf's eyes looked over the paper before widening slightly. The warrior and the giant exchanged a glance, but neither knew why the receptionist was surprised.

"That's funny! I'm supposed to get transferred to Dispel in a few days for personal reasons. I guess we will see each other there!" The elf's pointy ears went up and trembled lightly in joy. Sylvie was excited to be able to converse with normal adventurers that didn't always want to get in her panties. The fact that they were both handsome was even better! Nothing could beat eye candies at work.

At first, she was mad at her transfer, but now her mood has improved. Her superior had tried many times to use his authority to harass her sexually, but when she had finally had enough and made a complaint, the higher ups had chosen to send her away, and not the problem. Going from Kesenka's guild to the Dispel's one was bad, because all her accumulated benefits would start over and her salary would get lower too. She would need to find a new living place too.

She didn't want to quit her job and find a new one in the city, so she had resigned herself to start over at her new guild, even if she lost all her friends, but now, she had a new motivation.

"That's nice! I look forward to meeting you again." Adam answered, pleasantly surprised at the news. Sylvie was a good person, and the warrior appreciated good people. He had met plenty of scumbags, so normal humans were nice to know. Evan's jaws tighten at Adam's warm tone, but he calmed himself down by telling himself that his master was his, and wasn't attracted to the elf. His hands were still stuck into fists, even after they left the guild, but he couldn't just let go of his jealousy.

Adam wasn't to be blamed, he was just being polite. The giant knew it, which is why he didn't have any thoughts on punishing his partner or having a fight with him. He knew the problem was him, so he restrained his pulsions. He only needed a little longer to cool down his temper.

Evan closed his eyes while they walked into the street, inhaling deeply and exhaling. He felt a tug on his fingers and looking down, he saw Adam's hands praying open his fist until he could intertwine his fingers with his. The giant wide eyes stared at the smaller man, only for him to look back with a gentle smile, tightening his hold on his hand.

It seemed like Adam had noticed that he wasn't in his right mind.

The couple held hands until they reached their inn, Evan's free hand now loose and relaxed.

"The wagon leaves tomorrow morning, so we can take some more gold and go shopping for necessities. What do you think?" Adam broke the comfortable silence, feeling slightly guilty. Still, he didn't want to decide everything on his own, he also wanted his companion's opinion. They both nodded at Abigail when they passed by the reception and she waved back at them behind her weapons' magazine.

"Ok, it's fine by me, as long as we can call it a date." Evan smirked when Adam's dark cheeks got even darker with the blush that coated them. At first, the giant had difficulties seeing when his hedgehog blushed, but now, he was an expert. The warrior shyly nodded and coughed to ease his embarrassment. He couldn't really believe that they were now a couple.

It was hard to make his brain accept it.

He had spent weeks trying to drown his feelings for the man, and now in a matter of a day or two, they had confessed, jerked off, and then they were going on a date. He didn't know if they were going at a normal pace, or too fast. Maybe they were going too slow? Maybe a normal couple would have already had sex? He didn't have any experience in dating so he didn't know, and his parents weren't exactly the best exemple. They had, after all, only married for the sake of uniting their two powerful families.

He may have been ignorant of love matters, but still, a question stayed in his mind as he pocketed a few gold coins and turned toward the slave.

"Will you date me, Evan?" Adam asked out of the blue as he rummaged through his bag to find money, sending Evan into a coughing fit as he had been in the process of swallowing water from his gourd.

Hey dear readers, they are leaving the city soon!

Adam is so clueless in love, but Evan isn't doing any better hahaha.
