Kai stared at the black sphere entrance into the dungeon, He was actually very upset because during the month of work he was constantly left without being allowed to enter the Dungeon by Noah Miles. No matter how worst the conditions were, Noah refused to do guiding in the Dungeon.
One night Kai exploded and grilled Noah about why he wouldn't let him into the Dungeon, he wanted a reason that made sense to him. But Noah doesn't answer and leaves him alone in the tv room.
There was no definite answer and reason why Noah always asked him to wait outside the Dungeon.
He sighed, today he is wearing his full duty outfit along with his black bulletproofs. The dungeon this time was the first to appear with level A+, Noah went on duty together with three Esper rank A++.
Kai opened his floating screen and monitored Noah's condition, several spots on the man's body were already showing emergencies. A red color with a large exclamation mark began to appear on each of the man's spots, his body temperature was increasing although not much. Kai glanced at his watch.
After working with Noah for a month, Kai always asked Noah to match the time he set on his watch when Noah was about to enter the dungeon. Oh, sure, it wasn't easy.
"What for?" The man stared at Kai, puzzled, he was enjoying his time watching his favorite soap opera. Noah finished work every night at seven o'clock, his activities were always the same, clean up, change clothes, he would spend the night in front of the television like a child while watching his favorite soap opera.
Kai stood with his arms folded in front of his chest, looking down so that his eyes and Noah's were looking at each other. Noah was still busy chewing his dinner that Kai had prepared, yes, while living together, Kai was in charge of making breakfast and dinner for Noah. Because this bastard is a picky eater. Not so surprised because even though he has muscles, his body is on lean side.
"So that I can know when to pull you out of the dungeon or I can go inside the dungeon to do the guiding."
Noah frowned, "No need." He said, looking away while still chewing his food.
Kai closed his eyes, oh damn, he was really mad now.
"Look, you have to do what I ask. I'm not here to beg you and bother you with all that, okay? I'm just here to work as a guide, and my job is to make you okay. Luka has already explained how your body condition is, you've also gotten an email about your body condition. So, please, cooperate." Kai was of course angry, he was so angry, it felt like he want to destroying the world with his anger. If he could, he also wanted to punch Noah Miles' pretty face. He wanted to smash those tiny pink lips for answering him with one or two words so often.
Damn, he talks a lot when he's with Luka. But he talks so little to me.
"Promise me..." Noah opened his mouth, he handed his empty plate to Kai who was still standing staring at him with clenched fists.
"Promise?"
"Even though I came out late from the estimated time I had set, you didn't do any guiding by entering the Dungeon."
Kai took the empty plate that Noah gave him, he was still silent thinking about Noah's words. Ah, this fucking shitty bastard, he still doesn't allow me to enter the Dungeon.
"Hey, I'm not as weak as you think. All guides with rank S and S+ get their own weapons for self-protection. We're not as strong as Esper of course, but we're not that weak either."
Noah looked away and stared at the television, "If you do that, I will do what you want, I will match the time I have set with yours."
Yes, Kai again lost the bargain with the almighty stubborn man, Noah Miles. And to make matters worse the damn boss gave Kai dirty dishes and made him do the dishes that night.
"Kai, how's it going in there?" Luka got out of the car and ran over to Kai who was still staring at his floating screen. The man was panting slightly, Kai was sure that the man ran hurriedly to the parking lot and sped all the way here.
This location was one he had never visited before, and that was why he could not use teleportation.
"Did you get the warning message?" Kai asked Luka, the man nodded, taking out his floating screen.
"This is his second mission, why is he in such bad shape? Are you guys doing hand-holding with the schedule and duration I gave you?"
"Of course, we did it according to your orders. Although Noah Miles always has many excuses not to do it, but I force him, sometimes I do it when he is asleep."
Luka fell silent at that. "Then, what's wrong?"
Kai didn't answer Luka's question because he felt that Luka was asking more about himself who had done everything possible to make Noah in a much better condition.
"Is he always in this bad shape?" Asked Kai, he turn his head to Luka who was silent. "I have to hear his answer as his personal guide."
"No, after two years, it got worse. I did everything I could but it only worsened his condition. He didn't have a guide for a long time, all the energy inside him couldn't be properly suppressed with the drugs I was developing."
Just as Luka finished saying that an alert sounded from their screen, a stern warning that Noah's condition was not okay.
DANGER! DANGER!
"What's wrong? Something happened?! Bring out Noah Miles." Kai contacted one of the guides inside.
"Kai, the dungeon has been cleared by us. But, we can't take Mr. Miles out of the dungeon. We can't even get close to him now."
INCREASED BODY TEMPERATURE! INCREASED BODY TEMPERATURE!
Kai couldn't keep his promise now, Noah's condition was worsening and his body temperature was rising, he couldn't be left alone. He would burn inside, he would die. Luka hadn't brought his protective wear equipment, and he was Noah's personal guide.
"I'm going inside." Kai said so, he was about to jump inside when Noah appeared in front of him using teleportation.
"You promised." He muttered before falling to the ground and panting, his skin already reddened in some parts, his body temperature was increasing, even at a considerable distance the heat was really painful.
Kai released his energy, the Espers came out from inside the Dungeon and stared in horror at how the heat Noah emitting is no ordinary heat. They had never seen this before.
"What's wrong?"
"What is it?"
Luka immediately asked them to leave the location, he also explained that what happened today should not be shared with the public or anyone else. He sent the espers an email that had to be signed regarding what happened today, this was in accordance with the procedures issued by the FERN guild director regarding Noah's current condition.
Kai approached Noah, he looked at the man who was panting while clutching his chest. Kai monitored Noah's body condition through the floating screen, in some parts the red mark kept appearing and Kai released more of his energy to Noah.
"Hey..." Noah called out to Kai, he was now curled up on the ground, sweat pouring down, and his pale body was still red. He looked in pain. "Hold my hand....." He said with his eyes closed, Noah extended his hand to Kai.
The man was silent for a moment then grab his head softly as he took Noah's slim and pretty hand, a pale hand with slightly long nails that looked so beautiful.
"You should stop being stubborn and let me do the guiding in the dungeon."
"You promised..." He said under his ragged breath.
Kai didn't answer, he continued to expend his energy until in some parts of Noah's body there were no longer large exclamation marks and the red colors became blue. There was no longer any warning that the man's body temperature was rising. Kai looked at Noah who was still panting even though the condition inside his body had almost stabilized.
"You're going to have a heart attack if this keeps up, stop being so stubborn." Kai's voice softened, this had happened repeatedly and to be honest he was very annoyed now. This could have been prevented if Noah had allowed him to enter the dungeon and do the guiding there.
Noah's hand held him tighter, "There, you just do as I say. You promised, I still indulged in holding hands with you anyway. Even though I was asleep, I still let you do it."
Kai's eyes widened slightly at that.
"Damn it, so he realized I came into his room to do some guiding while he was asleep." Kai muttered, he just massaged his head.
Twenty minutes passed, and Noah's entire body had returned to normal. The man was still lying on the ground looking up at the sky, his long silvery hair glowing in the sunlight.
Kai looked at the man again, he had never seen a man as beautiful as Noah. With a face like an angel, this man's behavior was more like a demon. Kai sighed, he took off the ring on his pinky finger, grabbing Noah's hand he put the ring on Noah's ring finger on the left hand.
Noah looked up, "What is this? What are you doing?" Said him in a displeased tone of voice, he changed his position to sitting.
"You don't want me to go into the Dungeon? Wear it. I am a guide who develops tools, one of which is that. The accessories I wear store my energy, if you won't let me do guiding in the dungeon, let the ring protect your body for a while." Kai said that while getting up from his seat he smiled and waved at Noah, he approached Luka who was still taking care of a few Esper to remain silent about what happened today.
Noah paused to watch the man's back go away from him, the ridiculous pink hair looking quite cool. He looked down at the ring Kai had put on his ring finger.
"Well, the design is pretty cool." He muttered with a smile.
