Astar Levi stood, leaning on a wall near the exit of the train station. The transparent screen projected in front of him by his communicator showed many new, just published news articles with new ones popping up every minute.
“Cordia Aris saves the day”, “Horrifying power rampage in Concordia city”, “Over a hundred injured by a Blazer”, “This is why highly dangerous power users should not be allowed to roam freely”, “An accident or an act of terrorism” were some of the phrases his eyes caught while he scrolled.
His lips couldn’t help but quirk up in a smile when he thought about the confident message his fiancé just sent him claiming that her little brother was on his way to pick him up.
How amusing. Did no one tell his fiancé why she had just received so many burn victims?
Did her brother even know he was supposed to pick him up? (Noah: No! I did not!! ಥ_ಥ)
Better yet, did he even know his number to send him a message that he can’t make it? 🤔
(Noah: That’s right, brother-in-law! You tell it to my irresponsible sister! ＞︿＜)
Levi glanced at the time on his communicator and tried to decide how long he should wait before taking a train ride back home. He had better things to do than to be stared at while he waited in front of the train station.
He wouldn’t have even taken so many days off if it weren’t for his parents nonstop preaching about how he couldn’t meet his bride’s brother and parents for the first time at the wedding. Why not? Let alone future in-laws, if you asked him, even knowing the bride wasn’t necessary for an arranged marriage.
In fact, if his instincts weren’t screaming for him that he should stay put, he would have long gotten on a train back. And if there was one thing he could unquestioningly trust in this world, it would be his instincts. They had never failed him before, and judging by how loud they were screaming right now, the train back would probably suffer a catastrophic incident causing everyone onboard immediate death.

Some people didn’t like eating avocados, but that didn’t mean that they would feel uncomfortable seeing an avocado. In fact, even if people shoved an avocado down their throat, they wouldn’t feel uncomfortable – what they would feel was downright furious. What kind of a person would shove an avocado down your throat?! Off with their head! ╰（‵□′）╯
In short, Astar Levi just had a very sensitive… something, which got irritated with most people around.
Which is also why he was impacted so strongly, with his entire body jolting to his feet and skin erupting in goosebumps, when that sense of violation suddenly flipped into perfection, discomfort into comfort.
His piercing blue eyes shot up from the screen to lock with a pair of dazzling honey-colored eyes whose owner was speed-walking in his direction.
And at that moment, those instincts of his that previously told him to keep waiting suddenly turned deafening. So disorienting and obtrusive that he couldn’t think about anything else but the fact he seemed to have found something he had been searching for. Though he wasn’t even aware that he had been searching for something in the first place, but this could be one of those things you never knew you needed until you inadvertently stumbled upon them, like… a robot vacuum… or FaceApp.
For a moment, Levi stared blankly at the teenager in front of him, and his only thought was… ‘what is this strange creature that dares jump in front of me so brazenly?’
No, actually, he knew who it was. After all, he had seen pictures of this little brother-in-law before. But those pictures, as pleasing to the eye as they were, didn’t evoke any special reaction or emotion in him. Totally different from the real thing.
Who would have thought that the beautiful little prince was actually not photogenic? Those photos really didn’t do him justice!
Clearly, they were the same person, yet one was a passing thought, and the other was…
Levi eyed the teen, who was a head shorter than him, up and down.
He wore a cute gray peacoat, under which was a white cotton shirt a size too big. Its sleeves reached below his knuckles, revealing only his five white slender fingers as he swung his arms. The shirt was even skewed to the side, accentuating his slender neck and revealing his delicate collarbones. His long slim legs inside dark gray denim jeans took long strides as they strutted towards him.
To everyone else, the youthful-looking teen might appear stylish and refreshing, but to Levi, he looked…
Cute! Ah, so very cute! (／≧ω＼)❤
Just look at him jumping about merrily, with his silky hair all over the place, and clothes looking as if he had just been ravished. Yet he walked along confidently, with his cute little chin raised high in the air, like he didn’t give two shits about anyone’s opinion. Or was it that he didn’t even realize his current appearance had a problem?
Noah indeed didn’t realize that his current appearance had a problem; as a worldborn he was used to looking attractive no matter the circumstances. And his mind was currently preoccupied with locating his brother-in-law.
Thankfully, it took one glance for Noah to locate this future brother-in-law among the crowd. The man was as eye-catching as one could be without wearing neon colors of the rainbow or a clown suit.
A tall, extremely handsome man in his mid-twenties with an air of untamed wildness stood out like a black wolf within a crowd of white sheep. His sharp eyebrows and piercing blue eyes gave him an omnipresent fierceness, that somehow came off as alluring instead of intimidating. His messy black hair and all-black outfit stood sharply against his alabaster white skin.
Instead of being clothed for an outing with friends, he looked as if he’d just come out of an underground fighting arena. Or some kind of rock idol group, cause, let’s be honest, his outfit while making him look like a bad boy didn’t provide any kind of special protection.
Perhaps it would have been better defense-wise if his short-sleeved military jacket wasn’t unzipped over his T-shirt and jeans? Maybe his fingerless gloves could be useful when punching someone, but there were no knuckle protectors or anything else?
How peculiar.
Or…!
Noah suddenly came to a shocking realization: Ooooh!! It must be because this IS a casual outing outfit!!
He nearly laughed then and there at how silly-cute this brother-in-law was. (／≧ω＼)❤
Noah’s stride finally stopped in front of Levi, who had been watching him silently for a while now.
“I’m so sorry for being late, brother-in-law!” Noah tentatively started, lowering his head in apology. “There was a power rampage that injured many civilians near the Social Welfare Center; thus, we were delayed.”
When Levi heard his voice, he suddenly felt like his whole body went strangely itchy. Especially his ears and his heart. It was a bright and smooth voice of a young man, very pleasing: neither deep nor high, a pure and simple treat for one’s ears.
So why did his insides feel so itchy?!
hh guess I’ll wait and see what happens before guessing who the ml is _(:3
[thank you for the chapter ✨❤️🧡💛💚💜 ]
Omggg the name Levi tho ʕʘ‿ʘʔ is this the beginning of a love triangle??? 🙂
I hope his soon brother in law is not his ML. It is kind of disgusting you know…
Fixed the typoes. 👍All I’m gonna say is that it isn’t what you think. ML will always be single-mindedly devoted to MC. ML might not be a virgin in some worlds, but his heart will always lie with MC and no one else.He might be a shameless pervert, hehe, but I wouldn’t go as far as to call him disgusting.
No, i didnt say him disgusting. I just dont like kind of story about falling in love with my own soon-brother in law. Eventhough it was arranged-marriage, i cant imagine how the sister would feel if she knows her soon husband cheating with her own brother?
Nah, you are rite. If it happens, better to break it than to keep it. But, it is still not my cup of tea this kind of story.
It’s natural to be uncomfortable. It is even considered kind of borderline incestuous, like in my culture (in the past) even though you could marry multiple wives but they couldn’t be sisters for this reason. Also, I’ve heard of some people rejecting one sibling to propose to another (during arranged marriage viewings), and it always ends up creating a hidden fissure in the family.
Well done in confusing us over the ml 🙃
I’m sure your confusion won’t last long. (¬ ‿ ¬) When the main lead steps in, side leads get thrown out of the window.
what?? the ml wasn’t introduced yet?? OMG I FEEL EXCITED HAHA
I’m sorry but I keep imagining AOT Levi on each scenes….
Liking the pace of this story. Your writing is refreshing to read! Keep up the great work, author!
Same. I can’t picture him to be tall, just 5’2.
(Just wanna try writing this 😜)
(I knew that way bodyguard was described that he wasn’t the ml. He was lacking here and there seemed more like a second ml. I know at once that brother in law was ml since his status is special and his pov was described in detail.)
(Ok I might be wrong about ml but still I am 98% sure. )
I won’t guess who is the Ml, Just go with the flow~
Thank you so much for the chapter!(๑´>᎑<)~❤
Oh no no no noo yes ahahah
Oh no! He’s gonna have to steal his sister’s fiancé, isn’t he?! Is that part of his mission? I don’t want him and his sister to fight, it seems like they have such a nice relationship. And I kinda wanted Noah to be with Trey… 😝
D: Trey is not the ML? Awww
I thought there was no love triangles
There are indeed no love triangles. A couple of admirers here and there don’t count as points in a love triangle if the target of their affection isn’t even aware they exist in a romantic sense.
WAIT WAIT WAIT SHXJDHXHDH NOW WHO’S THE ML AHHHHHHHHHH IS IT THE BROTHER IN LAW OR TREY SHXJDHXHDH AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CANT WAIT. Thank you sm for the chapter! 💜 💜 💜
