Icy Equilibrium Dante
Room 1 (?)
After a day of raising funds, organizing resources, decorating the Holy Ark, and getting into a huge snowball fight, Eiden finally arrives back at the mansion. However, everyone appears to have retired to their rooms for the evening.
Come in.
Yo, Dante~
What are you doing here?
(What's he so suspicious about? Can't a guy drop in on his clan members every now and then?)
You woke me up with your uncouth knocking. What could you possibly want at this time of night?
... So the mighty Sun Lord sleeps with all his clothes on?
(Trying to fool me? Try again, sucker!)
... What do you want? Speak.
(Don't change the subject!)
It's nothing really... I know you said you didn't help much, but in truth you did a lot today. I thought you might be tired, so I just came to see how you were doing.
Attending official talks and undertaking a spot of light exercise is far from enough activity to make me "tired". Don't confuse me with yourself.
Ah, you're right~ Sun Lord Dante is the strongest being in the whooole wide universe—
But you really have been a huge help, so I wanted to come and say thanks.
I'm pretty sure Quincy feels the same way. That little boat he gave you must've been a thank-you gift.
... Incomprehensible, the lot of you. The point of giving a gift is to give something that one needs. This boat is utterly useless to me. I'll take it back to the orphanage tomorrow and give it to someone who truly needs it.
sigh You're missing the real point...Sure, the purpose of the gift exchange is to give and receive gifts that we each need, but it's not just about whether you find a gift useful or not, right?
What else? Injecting unnecessary emotion into the act of gift-giving only causes trouble. An exchange providing equal benefit to both sides is more than sufficient.
(I guess that kinda makes sense, but I still don't agree...)
Sun Lord Dante... Ah, Master Eiden, you're here too!
Eh? What brings you here so late?
I've brought the thick blankets you requested, Sun Lord Dante.
... Please put them down over there. That will be all.
I wish you both a pleasant evening.
Oh—too cold, huh? That's why you're not ready for bed yet... You were waiting for these blankets, right?
You should've said so. I could've brought a few extras along with me.
Ahem... want to act as my butler in your free time now, do you? Dream on.
(It's rare I get to see him looking so vulnerable... I know just what to do...)
I might not be able to cut it as your butler, but I make a damn good bed warmer~
That won't be nec—
Achoo!
......
......
(It's pretty funny seeing him like this, but I guess I better show him some mercy... I'll let him off for now.)
It sure is cold today, what with all the snow falling outside. Come to think of it, have you ever seen snow before?
... As a child, of course not. However, since taking up the role of Sun Lord I've traveled all across the Klein Continent, and so naturally I've encountered snowfall on occasion.
However, I always leave as soon as all official business has been taken care of. This is the first time I've been sucked into taking part in one of these seasonal festivals... and as expected, it's troublesome.
(Yeah, that's right... He was never allowed outside the palace as a kid.)
(Does that mean he hardly ever got to play with other kids? Damn... At the orphanage, at least we were all able to huddle together to keep warm during winter...)
I see... That's a shame. You must've missed out on all sorts of fun winter activities.
Such as?
Such as... this—
—Hyah!!!
Eiden grabs Dante and pulls him down onto the bed, holding him tight to his chest.
What are you—
... Let me go, or be prepared to face the consequences.
Stop moving! I'm just trying to show you something fun we all used to do as kids. You've never tried anything like this before, right? Now's your chance!
What exactly is so fun about this?
You have no idea! Huddling together to keep warm is one of the best ways to bond. Especially during the very coldest days, there's nothing else like it!
What utter nonsense...
... Fine. Since you're clearly so intent on becoming a heater, stay right there and don't move.
(Huh? He's not gonna struggle?)
Eiden senses a coolness on Dante's skin. The difference in body temperatures only makes his presence that much more distinct in Eiden's arms. Eiden finds novelty in being able to gaze down upon the Sun Lord. Looking closely, he sees a look of discomfort mixed with... joy on Dante's face.
(Look at him being all well-behaved and resting on top of me like this... Can't let a chance like this slip!)
To be honest, I know an even more effective way to heat you up—
If you can find a way to raise my body temperature even higher, I'll be able to pass that extra warmth on to you.
Eiden whispers softly in Dante's ear while seductively moving his hips. Dante stiffens for a split-second, before regaining his composure.
Is there any time of day when your head isn't filled with such thoughts?
Huh? I'm trying my best to serve the all-powerful Sun Lord Dante!
After all, I'm worth nothing if I'm not "useful" to you, right?
Room 2 (?)
I never asked for such a thing...
As Dante readies a retort, Eiden reaches between the Sun Lord's thighs, sliding his fingers slowly along his butt crack all the way to his weapon in the front.
Instinctively, Eiden begins to massage Dante's special area, a warm bulge forming beneath the fabric of his trousers.
How about it? Feels warmer already, huh?
If you reach out and grab mine, I guarantee I'll get even hotter...
You—
Ugh... yes... that feels... so good...
As I recall, the aim here... isn't to make you feel good.
Right, it's just... ngh.... a little bonus of helping you keep warm...
Hngh... is your... body temperature... rising too?
......
Hey... if you don't... carry on... you won't get any warmer...
You're the one who wanted to keep me warm. Shouldn't achieving that be your responsibility?
Wrong... My job is to act as a heater and hold you in my arms. Temperature control... is your job...
Excited to get things started, Eiden's exposed cock quivers against the touch of the cool night air.
.....
Heh... as you wish.
(Huh? No objections...?)
Dante grabs Eiden's shaft, rubbing vigorously up and down. Eiden's entire body jerks from the sudden stab of pleasure.
Unghh—ngh... ahh—!
Why... all of a sudden—aaah! T-Too fast...!
Dante's somewhat crude hand movements send sticky droplets splashing onto Eiden's abdomen as well as his own heavily suntanned flesh.
Hngh... too fast? But this method works well, wouldn't you agree? Your body temperature shot right up.
Ahh... hah... but if you rub... so fast... I'm gonna... cum... ungh! And then my body temperature... will drop again...
Despite his words, Eiden can't help writhing his hips in search of even sharper stimulation, the pleasure within him gradually building.
Ready to shoot your load already? Does it really feel that good?
It's all because... you're rubbing so fast... ngh...
Of course I wanna... last as long as possible...
Heh... then how about admitting... that my powers are too much for you to handle?
Dante pinches the tip of Eiden's cock while continuing to slide his fist up and down. A huge stream of clear droplets squirts through the air.
Hah... hahh... ngah...
(I don't really wanna... compliment him... but his skills... ah... have really improved...)
Hehe... you're so hard... feels amazing, eh?
Ngh... I'm gonna... cum... aaahh—
—As Eiden reaches the brink of climax, Dante ceases all activity. His hand lies still, wrapped tightly around Eiden's shaft, soaked in his precum.Denied at the very last second, a tingling sensation surges through Eiden's thighs, making his whole body quiver.
You...! Why...?
Hmph... wasn't it you who said your body temperature would drop if you finished too soon?
You told me to control the temperature, so why wouldn't I want to maintain the most comfortable level of warmth?
(... So that's why... he was so willing to go along with me...)
But... if you completely stop... my body temperature will drop anyway...
Quiet. I'll decide that for myself.
The touch of Dante's rough palm against his flesh drives Eiden to the brink of madness. The Sun Lord tightens his grip all of a sudden, before relaxing yet again as if to further provoke his companion.
Uh... you really never change... always the sadist...
Heh, and you never seem to learn your lesson.
... I've at least learned that... I've gotta fight for my own happiness!
Eiden reaches a hand downwards, but Dante swiftly blocks his path.
If I'm not mistaken, a heater can't adjust its own temperature.
Hey—
—Ungh!
An unexpected blast of stimulation stops Eiden in his tracks. Dante's palm sends pleasure raging throughout Eiden's body, spreading to his as-yet-neglected asshole.
Ah... aaaahh... so... good... ngh...!
Spying a large swelling in Dante's crotch, Eiden can't help but recall getting pounded deep and hard by the Sun Lord's thick, dark cock.The thought sends his asshole squirming, lusting to be violated.
Hah... are you only... gonna rub... in the front? There's even more heat... ngh... in the back...
Save it... Just what are you scheming...? I'll find out soon enough...
Eiden instinctively writhes his hips, conjuring similar memories in the Sun Lord's mind. Trapped within the confines of his trousers, Dante's cock grows harder still.
Hehe... you're hard too... I can smell... your essence...
Hmph, you're rather talkative for a heater...
Quiet down and prove your usefulness.
Hahh... then you should know... I'm much more useful... over here...
Eiden raises his hips ever so slightly, hinting at his asshole's need for attention. In doing so, the tip of his cock inadvertently brushes against Dante's fingertips, sending him into yet another daze.
... Don't get cocky.
Ugh—!?
Dante pauses yet again. Denied a second time, Eiden feels his sensitivity levels rising. At this stage, even the slightest of touches could send him hurtling toward climax.
You... I wouldn't have guessed... someone as decisive as the mighty Sun Lord... could be so coy...
Hahh... I never... requested your help... Seeing as you chose to serve me of your own accord... I should have the power... to do as I please, no?
Hah... ngh... ugh...
Eiden quivers as Dante's warm breath caresses his smooth skin. His body taut as a circus tightrope, he lusts for more.
Ngh... ah... whatever... you say... just hurry up and move...
(His nipples... They're so red... Could it be...)
You... You say you desire stimulation in the back... but you like it... here... also, correct?
Hngh...!
Eiden's nipples become the in-vogue erogenous zone as Dante's tongue makes its move, every touch providing the kind of stimulation he's been craving.
Ungh... uh... yeah... try sucking... and nibbling... feels so good...
Ugh... don't... give me orders...!
Ngh... you've never done this before, right...? I'll teach you... hngh... You'll be a pro... in no time...
You think I need you to teach me... something such as this? You're clearly already enjoying yourself far too much.
Eiden jerks as Dante digs his teeth into his hard, reddened flesh.
Nghh...! M-More...
... Silence. Just lay back and enjoy.
Eiden writhes in desperation, inadvertently raising his chest as Dante continues to bite and suck and lick with intense ferocity.
The Sun Lord is hooked. He doubles down, sucking deep and hard, pulling and pushing, stimulating Eiden's flesh with the points of his teeth.
Ugh... ngh...
(He really is... a fast learner...)
Pleasure pounds every cell in Eiden's body, his ignored but precum-soaked cock barely able to contain its excitement.
However, it seems nipple play isn't quite enough to send Eiden to climax. So close yet so far, he teeters on the brink of collapse.
That's... enough... ngahh... let me... cum...
Mngh... seeing as you've endured for this long, I'll grant your wish.
Dante grips Eiden's cock tightly once more, massaging faster than ever. Moaning all the while, fluid spills from Eiden's cock as Dante works the tip, stimulating its tiny groove with his fingernails.
Ngh... ahh... I'm gonna... cum—!
Hah... aaahhh—
Eiden almost passes out as climax finally arrives. His body shakes uncontrollably, semen spilling from his throbbing cock.
It takes a few minutes for Eiden to regain his senses. He lowers his head and notices just how enticing his cum looks atop Dante's tanned skin.
... I really thought I was a goner... You're the worst...
Me? That content look on your face says otherwise, heater.
(Content... hell yeah I am...)
(But I really can't stand that smug look on his face...!)
Now that you're nice and warm, you better get some rest, oh mighty Sun Lord~ See ya!)
... Halt.
I provided you with the ultimate satisfaction, yet you barely lifted a finger. A rather unfair exchange, wouldn't you say?
I see...
Eiden's gaze moves towards Dante's crotch and he gives a little nod of agreement.
In that case....
Aside from keeping you warm, I'll come back in a few days and take you to enjoy some other fun winter activities!
One moment of satisfaction for me, and a ton of fun activities for you... Pretty good deal, right, oh great and powerful Sun Lord?
......
(... Is he mad? I mean, he did just torture me to the brink of a total physical breakdown...)
Fine, that will suffice.
Huh!?
Disappointed with my response?
No... I'm not disappointed, but why do I get the feeling there's some sort of conspiracy going on here...
Not everyone is as petty as you are.
I'm merely curious as to what activities you took part in as a child that helped you grow into the fool you are today.
... I'll take that as you showing an interest in my past.
Don't look at me like that... Everyone used to fight over who got to play with me.
Do you get a sense of accomplishment from praising yourself?
Of course not... I just wanted to let you know—
—I'm the best playmate you could ever ask for. Try not to get too excited!
Room 3 (?)
What do you think? Pretty cool, right? There's no better place to experience a day of fun.
A thick layer of snow covers the large clearing, a frozen lake lying far off in the distance. Children and adults alike run to and fro, broad smiles across their faces.
You brought me here to... play in the snow... just like these children?
(Here we go...)
Try to relax. You know the saying "don't knock it till you've tried it", right? Don't tell me you're one of those people scared of trying anything new.
Hmph, a limp attempt at provocation? Not everything needs to be tried to know it shouldn't be done in the first place. Does one have to be thrown in jail to know not to commit crimes?
So, to the great and mighty Sun Lord, playing in the snow and committing crimes are the same thing?
... Don't twist my words. I was merely pointing out the gaping hole in your logic. I agreed to accompany you, and I will see it through to the end.
Speak. What do you want to do?
(He acts all aloof, but he looks totally fascinated...)
Alright, first up—
Eiden squats down in a quiet spot and begins pushing the loose snow drifts into a small pile.
However, a few minutes go by and he has very little to show for his work.
What are you doing?
Can't you tell? I'm building a snowman!
... Step aside. Using such pathetic methods, you'll be building until next winter.
Dante squats down and begins forming the pile of snow with his hands. The distance between them now shortened, Eiden notices the steady warmth Dante brings to the snowy surroundings.
You must pack the snow tightly to ensure it maintains its shape.
Wow, you're pretty good at this, huh?
It's merely common sense. This is all you can do, and you dare label yourself the greatest playmate I could ask for?
Well, I got you building a snowman, didn't I?
......!
Hehe, I'll leave the body to you, oh mighty Sun Lord! I'll go find some stuff to decorate it with!
You—
... Tch, irresponsible fool.
... Is this some kind of unique Solarian art style...?
The pile of snow standing before Eiden could barely be called a "man". Crudely decorated and extremely wonky, one arm consists of a branch lush with green leaves, while the other is little more than a dry twig—a truly bizarre sight to behold.
What's wrong? It has a face and arms, even a nose and eyes... Which part aren't you satisfied with?
(The whole damn thing! The nose is so wonky it's just about growing out of his left eye socket! The designer in me is weeping!)
(... But he really was super focused on building just now. I bet he didn't even notice he was smiling most of the time.)
You did great, oh mighty Sun Lord! You've got real talent! Even I couldn't make something quite like this!
Saying that doesn't make up for the fact that you didn't help in the slightest.
Hey now, no need to squabble about the details~ All that matters is it's finished.
Alright, next up
—Ta-dah!
Eiden reveals two pairs of ankle boots from behind his back. Similar to ice skates in his own world, the boots have metal blades inlaid in their soles. However, the boots are designed in the Klein style, made from furry beast hide and with thicker blades.
I noticed some people skating on the lake during my travels and found a merchant who was renting out equipment. I never knew this kind of activity was popular here too.
You mean to say... there's such an activity that involves wearing these boots and sliding across the frozen surface of a lake?
Sure is! And a difficult one at that—especially for first-timers. It normally takes a few falls to properly get the hang of it.
Hmph, interesting. How many times did you fall?
Eh? Why do you wanna know that...
How many times?
... Three... maybe four? It was a breeze once I got used to it.
......
What's with that look!? Hey, most people fall way more than that their first time!
Hand them over. I'll show you the true difference between you and I.
Huh? I was gonna offer to let you lean on me, but if you wanna go it alone, I won't stop you.
Eiden hands over the ice skates, before putting on his own and heading out onto the ice.
(Hmph, that little punk... He better not throw a tantrum when he falls flat on his ass—)
(... Is he really gonna be okay?)
Concerned for his comrade, Eiden turns to see Dante already skated up. The Sun Lord approaches the ice, takes his first step, and steadily skates out onto the lake.
(What the!? Where the hell did he get such a ridiculously good sense of balance!?)
Just as Eiden decides to head over and give him some pointers, smooth as an eagle soaring through the skies, Dante begins gliding across the ice. As he approaches, Dante adjusts his body weight, arcing neatly to a halt by Eiden's side.
Are you sure you've never done this before...?
Such a simple skill can be mastered after a few short minutes of observation.
(That smug look again! Gah, I wanna smack him so hard right now!)
... Well, whatever... Today's all about showing you a good time. In fact, I'd go so far as to call this a huge success!
Wouldn't you say your standards are rather low? These activities are little more than minor amusements for idling away the time. I was expecting something with a little more substance.
The whole point of today is to show you how regular people pass the time...Most kids spend their time playing and having fun, but you never got the chance to do that. Don't you think it's a good opportunity to finally give it a try?
Heh, if one has so much free time, it'd be put to best use either studying or exercising. Pastimes such as these are meaningless.
Wait up... When you say something is useful or not, you mean practically useful, right? If so, I think you're missing something pretty important.
Such as?
Such as taking a load off, letting yourself relax, you know? It might sound useless, but if you keep studying and exercising all the time, you'll eventually burn yourself out. Taking some time to chill every now and then helps you to focus when you really need to.
No need for explanations—I'm aware of such ideologies. I won't tell others how to live their lives, but as for myself, when the need for urgent action arises, I use my time effectively regardless of my mood.
Failing to consider the value of one's actions, only caring for one's own happiness...This world isn't as pure and innocent as you so clearly believe. Spare me your vain attempts at brainwashing.
... Hey, that's a little harsh, don't you think?
Agh!
A sudden loud cry cuts through the tension. Eiden looks up to see a young boy, arms flailing and hurtling right in their direction.
(Oh, shit...!)
As he scrambles to think of a way to help the child out, Dante springs into action. He grabs the boy's hand and guides him around in a circle before coming to a nice, gradual stop.
Are you okay? You didn't bump into anything, did you?
I'm all good... Man, that was awesome! Especially that part where you skidded across the ice! It looked like your skates were smoking... Amazing!
... I'm going to let go now. Try to stand—
Achoo!
(Uh-oh, he was fine a second ago. What's with that sneeze....)
(Ah, he's got ice shavings on his neck... He must've scraped them up with his skates...)
Hey, Mister, crouch down for a second, okay?
... What for?
Please! Just for a second.
......
Unsure of how to respond, Dante succumbs to the innocent look in the boy's eyes. He crouches down and the boy wraps a little red scarf around his neck.
This is for you! My grandma knitted it herself. It'll definitely keep you nice and warm!
... This scarf is far too small to be useful to me. I don't need it.
(Looks like he's still obsessed with "usefulness"...)
Ah... but this is all I can give you as a present... I want to thank you for saving me...
Why do you have to give me a present to thank me?
Ah? But then how would you know grateful I am?
......
(Haha, smart kid. All it took was one line to show Dante the significance of the feelings that go into a gift.)
Can't hurt to accept it, right? If you don't, this kid's gonna be stuck out in the freezing cold all night.
... Very well. You'd best run along home now.
For real? Awesome! Hope I get to see you again, Mister!
Whew... well, after seeing that, I've pretty much lost the will to get mad at you.
You were mad at me?
Uh, of course... I know you didn't really mean it, but what you said kinda hurt! I was only trying to show you a good time, and you go and call me a brainwasher... I worked damn hard on today's itinerary...
......
(I stand by what I said... but I guess I can see where he's coming from. He had to take up such an important position at such a young age, so he's never felt he has the right to enjoy himself. Or to put it more bluntly, he probably doesn't know what it means to be a "child"...... Man, I really am too soft sometimes, losing the will to argue so quickly. I'll take him out again tomorrow. For now, we better head back—)
... What else?
Eh?
I'm asking what else you have planned for today. A mere two activities can't be considered a proper experience, wouldn't you agree?
Uh, there's a winter-exclusive ice lantern show...
Well, we'd best get going then, no? Sunset is approaching.
......
(Is he trying to... apologize?)
(Haha... he's an awkward one, that's for sure. Looks like we're not going home just yet.)
Room 4 (?)
Wow~ Huge ice sculptures illuminated with pretty lights... and stalls where you can have a go at making all sorts of stuff... This place looks awesome!
Hmm, not bad. The craftsmanship is far more refined than that of the ice sculptures I've seen in the past.
Heh, yet another of the many sights and sounds you've come across while on your travels all across the continent?
... You could say that.
Look, you can have a go at making all sorts of different items... Ornaments, figurines, collages...
Even... wreaths?
These aren't just any old wreaths! These here are made from immortal vines! They provide their keepers with immeasurable blessings of peace and security!
Immortal vines?
(Wow, even Dante's never heard of them... Maybe it's like a super rare type of plant?)
They grow in only the coldest reaches of the continent, surviving through all four seasons. However, most intriguingly, they bloom in winter. Due to their abundant life force, folk enjoy weaving them into wreaths and giving them as gifts to family and friends.
.....
(Sounds similar to something we have back in my world... It'd be pretty awesome if we could make one—)
Agh! It smashed to pieces...
Haha, you're using way too much force!
......!
Whoa, you can make your own ice sculptures?
That's right! Fancy a try? Though I better warn you, there's a pretty steep learning curve involved. Don't just expect you'll end up making a masterpiece on your first go!
What do you say, Dante?
Dante?
Eh? Are you talking to me?
(He's totally fascinated! I bet he wants to have a go.)
Boss, we'll take one set of carving tools and a few decorations!
You want to have a try?
Yeah! These ice sculptures all look great, after all. Although, I'm not sure how mine would end up...
How about you have a go?
... Fine. Hand me the tools.
Hey, wait up, at least listen to the instructions—
Thinking this to be yet more posturing from his red-haired companion, Eiden is surprised to see Dante skillfully working the ice like a master artisan.Ý“
When the hell did you learn to carve ice sculptures...!?
Wait a minute... were you lying when you said you never saw snow as a kid?
What would I stand to gain by lying to you?
... Building a snowman, ice skating, even engaging in a snowball fight... These I experienced for the first time only recently. However, as for carving ice sculptures...
I presume out of some sense of guilt at the fact I wasn't allowed outside the palace......my parents once spent a great deal of resources to ensure the successful transportation of a huge number of ice sculptures to Solaria.
(Eh... I would never have guessed that...)
But how did you learn to actually make ice sculptures?
Merely looking at the ice sculptures became dull very quickly. I had little else to do, so I started to make imitations.
And before long... I had mastered the craft.
Dante continues to delicately chip away at the ice, adding the finishing touches to his exquisite creation.
The Sun Lord speaks without emotion, but Eiden can sense a quiet loneliness in his eyes, almost as if he were watching the young heir carving alone inside the palace.
......
(Most stuff gets pretty dull after a while when you've got no one to share it with... After all, he's barely ever had any fun in his life...)
Done.
Whoa—
Wait a minute... This thing is too damn amazing! How can anyone get this good at something just by practicing solo!?
What an exquisite sculpture! You've got talent, young sir!
... It will melt before long. Even if it looks nice, it's utterly useless.
Eh? So did all the sculptures you made as a kid melt?
Of course. Maintaining ice sculptures in a climate such as Solaria's would consume far too many resources. As such, I'd either let them melt or smash them up to use as ice cubes.
Ah... but you can't do that this time.
Why not?
Because now... you have someone to share your sculpture with!
... Don't tell me... You were too lazy to make one yourself, so now you want to take mine?
Hey, of course not! It's because you made it that I want it.
_
You enjoyed making it, and I'll enjoy keeping it! That's the true value of having fun together!
... Preposterous.
I could give it to you, but as per Kleinmas tradition, you should give me something in return, no?
Hehe, no problem. Go take a rest over there, and I'll be right back!
Here! A gift made especially for the mighty Sun Lord~
(A wreath made of immortal vines... So that's where he ran off to.)
Seems to lie well within your abilities.
Hey! Don't underestimate the significance of a handmade gift!
I'd say that was the least you could do. Or are you telling me you could have bought a ready-made wreath to exchange for an ice sculpture carved by my own hands?
Tch... These wreaths don't just bring good luck, you know? The vendor told me of another power they have.
Rumor has it the vines survive year-round due to a mysterious power they possess. If you exchange essence under the wreath, something amazing will happen...Well, that's how the story goes, but I'm not so clear on the details...
(Plus... we both know the best way for exchanging essence...)
... What are you looking at?
(Hehe, he's blushing... We're definitely on the same wavelength.)
It's nothing... I was just thinking we should probably try to verify the rumor.
... And how exactly would we do that?
Of course by—
Eiden moves in closer, wraps the wreath around Dante's neck and plants a passionate kiss on his lips.
—Ugh!
Hahaha, is that the best reaction you can come up with? It's almost like that was your first kiss.
......
(... Wait... You've gotta be kidding me...)
Get off of me... at once!
Ouch! I'm not a damn leoger, you know!? Don't grab my collar like that!
Quiet! Leogers are far better-behaved than you!
I'm already burning up. The last thing I need is you getting so close...
... Burning up? Earlier, you were so cold that you started sneezing... And it gets even colder at night—
Eiden feels a heat rising from deep within. His breathing hastens, his entire mouth dry as a bone.
(Huh... why... maybe because there are too many people here? But this feels different...)
At first, Eiden suspects he might be coming down with something. But then he realizes just where exactly the heat is converging...
Why all of a sudden...?
You're far too slow on the uptake. The culprit is the pollen from these immortal vines.
Eh? You're kidding me, right? How could they sell something like this...
An overpoweringly intense fragrance assaults Eiden's nostrils as he sniffs the wreath. The resulting sensation is unlike the usual lust-inducing effects essence usually brings. His essence levels begin to fluctuate so wildly, he feels he could lose control at any second.
(Holy shit... he's right!?)
For people with relatively low essence levels, the effects are minimal. However, for us...
... Tch, explaining to you is pointless. We best head back, I don't want to cause a scandal out here on the street.
Agreed. We can have a lot more fun behind closed doors.
You...
What? Am I wrong?
... Just you wait and see.
Ngh... ugh... come a little... closer...
Hngh... you can't even hold back long enough... to reach the bed?
Right here... is perfect... Look... if we hang the wreath up there... we can get on with exchanging essence...
... Don't tell me you really believe that ridiculous rumor....
Not really... but it can't hurt to try... Hey... lower your head... a little...
What are you—
Ugh...
Room 5 (?)
Eiden pulls on the band fastened around Dante's hair, releasing his flame-red locks to flow down around his shoulders. Seated on a table by the window, Eiden wraps his legs around Dante's lithe waist, his handmade wreath hanging just above.
Hahh... you look so good... like this... And this position is way more convenient...
... You inexplicable fool...
Excitement builds in Dante's chest as Eiden runs his fingers through his thick red hair. His touch is light, but that doesn't stop desire simmering in the Sun Lord's loins. Eiden clamps his legs tighter as Dante twists and writhes.
Alright... what are you waiting for? Stick it in me...
Hah... you want me inside you?
Dante presses his cock against Eiden's hungry asshole. Despite being just one thrust away from intense, nerve-tingling pleasure, he decides to wait just a little bit longer.
Who was it who cared only about making himself feel good last time? Don't think I'll just obediently satisfy your every desire.
You really are great at... holding grudges... hahh... Anyway... I kept you warm... didn't I...? I'd say it was a... pretty fair trade...
The exchange was fine, but it's now time to settle... my personal grievances.
Ugh... in that case... say no more...
Ungh—!
Eiden's legs tighten as he pulls Dante closer. The Sun Lord's cock rubs against his anus, sending a shiver throughout Eiden's entire body.
You... ugh... stop moving!
Hah... feels damn good... right? It'd feel even better... if you stuck it in...
Heh... good for me... or good only for you?
Didn't I tell you before? If I'm feeling good... that means you're feeling good too... and...
Eiden moves in closer, breathing deeply by Dante's ear, sending a warm flush through the Sun Lord's cheeks.
If you fuck me until I cum... you'll feel amazing.
Hmph... you asked for it... Don't come crying at me to stop.
Agh—! Hah... ngah...
Eiden's asshole tenses as Dante sinks his thick cock deep inside. A sudden stab of fierce stimulation hits both men like a freight train.
Ugh—hah...
Dante pounds hard and fast, ravaging Eiden's soft insides, a light foam soon forming around his rampaging shaft.
Ah... ahhh... ngah... so good... nghh—
More... nghh... f-faster...
Ugh... ngh... greedy... as ever...
Their faces move near and far with each powerful thrust of Dante's hips. Every breath, every moan, combines to create a lust-filled atmosphere quite like no other.
... Hahh...
(He seems... so focused... What is he looking at...)
(... My... lips?)
Thinking back to the smile on Dante's face at the ice lantern show, Eiden can't help licking his own lips, a mischievous look in his eye.
......
Ungh... hngh!
Just as Eiden expected, Dante's cock, buried deep inside his asshole, grows harder, thicker.
Just get... a little extra excited... did you... Sun Lord... Dante?
A little too stimulating for you...?
... If you have enough strength left to talk rubbish... perhaps I need to be... hngh... a little more ruthless...
Ungyaaahh—!
Dante retracts his hips until only the tip of his cock remains buried in Eiden's ass. Without warning, he rams his cock as deep as it can possibly go. Dante feels Eiden's insides writhing against his shaft as precum squirts from Eiden's cock.
Ungh... hah... that's right... all you need to do... is moan...
Is that... what you really think...?
Amid warm, fragrant breaths, Eiden runs his fingers through Dante's shining hair, lightly massaging his head while pulling him ever closer.
Your mouth... I think we can put it to better use... don't you kn—
Ungh—!?
Dante shuts Eiden up with a powerful kiss. In fact, his lips arrive with such vigor that his teeth smack against Eiden's lips, the pain making him recoil slightly.
Eiden sucks lightly on Dante's lips before thrusting his tongue into his mouth, dancing across his teeth and gums, intertwining with the Sun Lord's own agile tongue.
Ugh... ngh...
Ngh... tch... hah... mngh...
(Ugh... I can tell he's totally inexperienced... but... it's making me so damn excited...)
Hah... just because one doesn't do something doesn't mean they don't know how to. Understood?
Understood... you suck at this... Don't tell me... you've never done it before—
—Ungh!
Before Eiden can finish, Dante's lips return for round two. This time he's taking no prisoners. Dante sucks hard on Eiden's tongue, the pair of them exchanging huge amounts of warm saliva.
With Dante's tongue in his mouth and cock in his ass, a familiar tingling sensation begins to consume Eiden's entire being.
(Hngh... damn... this feels too good...)
Ngh... I need it... down below...
Hah... enjoy kissing that much, do you?
Ugh... yeah... so... get moving—
As I've told you a thousand times... don't give me orders...
Despite his words, Dante thrusts his cock in hard, smashing against Eiden's deepest, most sensitive zones, sending him edging ever closer to the brink of climax.
Ngh... hngh... I... I'm gonna—
Already... Have I made you feel that good?
Obviously... ngh...
Unhappy with Dante's slow movements, Eiden dives in for another deep kiss. As their tongues intertwine, he shakes his hips in search of greater stimulation.
Ungh... gah—hahh...
(So... all he needs are the lips and tongue... and he can... This fool...)
Not willing to concede in any way, Dante thrusts his tongue deeper, licking every inch of Eiden's warm mouth. Meanwhile, his pounding hips subject Eiden's insides to mind-tingling levels of pleasure.
Ngh... aaaahh—!
Hah... ngh...?
As Eiden loses himself to orgasm, Dante's lips descend yet again. However, this kiss is much more serene than the last, the touch of Dante's lips soft and tender. Almost like the first snow of winter, it brings a magical sensation unlike any other.
(... If he keeps kissing me like this... I'm done for...)}
Hah... hard again?~
Hngh... I don't... even know... anymore...
... With you in such a lewd state... I suppose it'd be rude not to.
Unghh—oh god...! I only just came...
Dante thrusts harder than ever, stimulating every inch of Eiden's supple insides. Still enjoying the aftereffects of orgasm, Eiden feels Dante's rampaging cock clearer than ever as it violates his ultra-sensitive asshole.
I'm gonna... hngh...!
Finish again, if that's what you want... You're not one... to hold back, are you?
No... you don't understand... ngah... ahh... hngh!
Ugh—eugh!
With a final few pumps of his hips, Dante fills Eiden's ass with a powerful blast of semen. Dante's huge load leaves Eiden's insides tingling all over, his asshole clamping tighter than ever.A deep, burning pleasure surges from the base of his spine to his brain as he approaches climax for the second time.
Hahh... ah... ngahhh—
Hah... oh god... I really am a goner... this time...
You won't die... You just need more exercise.
Let's start with your vital capacity.
You just wanna kiss me! No... ungh—
Stopped in his tracks yet again, the only sounds in the room now are the deep breaths of two men reveling in ultimate pleasure. Light snow falls outside the window, but it only gets hotter and hotter inside as the next orgasm arrives, and the next...
The next day...
Gah, my hips are killing me...
As I said, you're lacking in exerc—
Stop! I've had enough of your exercise crap! Exercise isn't the cure for everything, you know? Go back to your room.
Enough of your drivel. I was already on my way back.
But, hey... is it really okay to be holding on to those immortal vines? Something weird might happen again...
Nothing will happen. Last night, I was able to verify that the effects come purely from the pollen, which has now been completely dispersed.
I see...
What's all that noise...?
Eh... Aster? And... a ton of immortal vine wreaths?
Looking out at the garden, the pair see a pink-haired figure giving orders to servants pulling large wooden carts, each one filled to the brim with immortal vine wreaths.
... That unscrupulous, money-grabbing fiend.
Can you hear what he's saying?
We have him to thank for that ridiculous rumor. He's ordering his servants to head to the market and spread the story in order to increase sales.
Ah...
(I was wondering where a rumor so specific about "exchanging essence" could come from... Turns out it started right under our noses...)
Are all Light Territory merchants so lacking in even the most basic of morals? Is there any need for such lies and treachery?
... Well, it's not really a lie, right? After all—
What happened last night... It definitely was something amazing.
Eiden taps his lips with a finger and then, as a flush runs through Dante's cheeks, slips back inside his own room, closing his door with a nice, neat click.
