Author's note; Not an eighteen plus chapter, but mention of Male x Male relations. The next chapter should be all clean for those just wanting plot!
Breakfast within the Food Hall is much the same as lunch and dinner within the Food Hall, just with less choices to select from. A typical breakfast would consist of milky porridge or thick, plain congee and bread (Leon had never seen toast on offer), with fruit, nuts and cold meats as well. The meat and cereals were unseasoned, making the meal quite boring and tedious and students longed for the change of seasons to add variety to the fruit selection. It maybe due to this reason that Jin Li enjoyed Leon's simple cooking so much; it had flavour and it wasn't half bad at that.
However, despite the anticipated plain meal they would be consuming, the two youths went to the Food Hall following a long and tiring night. As they entered, those who had been happily eating and chatting turned to look at them and then fell to a shocked silence. Their fellow alchemist, who they had once labelled as odd in appearance and in personality was approaching the tables on which the food was upon display with a gentle smile and an aura that could only be considered as soft. His large, black eyes were half-lidded below this shine of his glasses and glistening like stars on a moonless night. His appearance could almost be considered ethereal and the enchantment he portrayed even caused the straightest of males to glance at him with a second look and the most popular girls frowned enviously.
And then those girls turned their attention to the tall, martial artist standing beside him. He was also smiling, but the tilt of his lips and the languid expression in his eyes made their hearts beat faster within their chests. The man they had always known was handsome was now a demon incarnate come to steal away their hearts and souls with one glance! (It could be said that these girls read too many romance novels, especially ones where the female mc turned around the devil Cultivator that he followed the correct path and made many atonements for his past sins, while not forgetting his beloved. It didn't have to be said just who they pictured at that moment as the Male lead, while naturally they placed themselves in the protagonist's shoes.)
The males had a different reason for their hearts beating like drums within their chests for the moment Jin Li caught they staring at the small alchemist with mixed feelings in their eyes, his cold glare froze their blood and caused them to instinctively count the number of healing pills they had to hand. And then the man looked away as if nothing had occurred, guiding Leon to a table, even pulling out his seat in order for him to sit down. Maimai watched this with much contentment; her best friend had his man completely tamed!
"Maimai!" A girlfriend waved a handkerchief in front of her in panic. "Your nose is bleeding!" Maimai gratefully took the silk cloth and stained it thoroughly. Later, she had to consume a Vital Essence pill to rejuvenate blood, as she felt awfully dizzy after the prolonged affliction.
Leon glanced at the man hovering beside him, who watched intently as he placed the first spoonful of porridge between slightly swollen lips and blushed. Their bodily explorations had lasted well into the night, with Jin Li's hands almost feverishly touching every inch of his skin, paying much attention to the places he discovered were sensitive. His kisses had been both brutal and affectionate and once he had found that he could mark Leon's pale skin with his lips and mouth, he proceeded to cover much of Leon's neck and chest. There were a few bite marks in amongst them as well.
Jin Li's shoulder also sported teeth marks as he had teased Leon to the point that the small alchemist thought he would explode, but Jin Li had not let him gain release. It did not surprise him that Jin Li discovered the 's' trait within his personality makeup, but that he would figure out how to translate it into action upon Leon's body so quickly was another matter! In the end, he'd 'allowed' Leon to climax, to which the small alchemist had done so in a manner that was almost painful and stolen away his consciousness immediately afterwards.
Leon had awoken that morning in Jin Li's possessive embrace completely boneless, but not actually sore, for there had been no penetration in the end. He'd guessed that Jin Li may still not known about this part of relations between men and was so sated at that moment that he figured such a talk could wait. In all honesty, though he'd always been gay, the idea of being embraced had always made him nervous (though he maintained a zero's mentality, not even thought about being the one who embraced). He'd also feared that Jin Li, who was newly bent, would think that embracing his lover that way was disgusting. He'd only just learned and accepted the pleasures of foreplay that night after all.
Jin Li knew nothing that streamed through his small boyfriend's mind as he watched the spoon poke in between those tender lips reminding him what else they'd held between them with an internal growl of pleasure. His eyes strayed down the flushed cheeks towards the pale neck that could not hide the marks he'd pressed upon them and his ego swelled within his chest. Those same eyes glanced about the few who had not yet turned their attentions away from his cute lover, with intent and a message of declaration;
He is mine.
