Alone Together [#3]

"This confirms it." Akira sighed softly to himself: "The Gods are watching us." Vyktor's face slowly went through various stages of shock, confusion, anger, to end on a cold anger. "Oh…" His hands clenched on his fists, and he stopped himself from sharing his emotions through the bond he shared with the other boy- "So kissing me was just a trick then?"

Let me explain-

They were stuck together thanks to the <Clingy> status effect from rejecting a quest that told them to have sex with one another. This effect made Vyktor Miesplyheim carry Akatora Akira in a princess carry for 24 hours, unable to let go of the smaller boy due to them being glued together. [So…] Akira awkwardly spoke through their bond, sharing his thoughts with Vyktor: [We're stuck together now.] Vyktor, thankfully, didn't say anything too harsh or too insulting- Instead, he said: [Princess, my arms are tired from carrying your skinny ass.] Slightly offended and a tiny bit concerned, Akira rolled his eyes as he directed his finger to touch Vyktor's arm muscles- They weren't bulging with ripped muscles, but he did have some muscles

After all, Vyktor was captain of the football team! His running speed was no joke, and now in a world of fantasy where magic is in the air (literally) he had the potential to be so strong…

[Princess, I can feel you drooling, you like my muscles?] The cocky voice of the stupid, arrogant, fucking piece of shit that was the guy known as Vyktor Miesplyheim echoed inside his head, making Akira groan: [I was wondering how best to help you, carrying me for too long can hurt your arms, making you tired more easily, which can mean certain death on this place.] Vyktor couldn't deny the logic behind Akira's explanation, but he still saw the small red hue Akira's ears took, which had him wondering for a split second- How would he look like completely flushed red? He dismissed this thought as quickly as it appeared, because he wasn't gay, okay!? Maybe he just thinks guys are cute sometimes. [Oh yeah? And how are you going to help me, give me a blowjo- Okay, sorry.] Both Vyktor was mortified while Akira was confused for a second- What the fuck was that? Did Vyktor seriously thought that?

[I bet you'd love that…] Akira whispered, only to be mortified that his voice went through.

[Well, maybe] Vyktor answered without thinking much, and when he noticed that he had said such a thing, he blushed. Bright red face, sweaty, and embarrassed. Akira pulled himself closer to him, an arm around Vyktor's neck as he pulled himself closer and closer, until his lips were touching Vyktor's lips in a soft kiss-

[New Quest Generated: Give your partner a blowjob!]

[Reward: 10 Levels, +100 status, +1 Skill]

"This confirms it." Akira sighed softly to himself: "The Gods are watching us." Vyktor's face slowly went through various stages of shock, confusion, anger, to end on a cold anger. "Oh…" His hands clenched on his fists, and he stopped himself from sharing his emotions through the bond he shared with the other boy- "So kissing me was just a trick then?" Akira froze for a split second before Vyktor was thrusted in the heart with a sense of extreme shyness and embarrassment that carved out his anger and threw it out, making him notice just how cute Akira was with his face completely red from shyness. He had a foreign desire to just bite him, for a split second, but he did not.

-Scene Cut-

"Fuckfuckfuckfuck-" Vyktor ran, his feet carrying him faster and faster as he activated his skill [Sprint lvl 1] that increased his running speed by 10%. Akira, who was still on his arms, was gritting his teeth as his eyes and ears bled- At the same time, Vyktor had this bright blue glow surrounding his body, making him move even faster than he normally would be able to. [I-i… I can't keep this up for longer.] Akira had found yet another use for the skill [Codependency], making it increase to lvl 2 right away- They could share MP and SP.

[<Codependency lvl 2>

With this skill you can share anything with your partner, know your partners location, state of being, and status! Status Effects only affect your partner if they also affect you at the same time, making both of you immune to them unless both of you are affected by them at the same time.]

[My MP is almost zero, and my SP is ridiculously low.] I mean, Vyktor knew that! They could still feel danger, mostly thanks to Akira's skill that increased in level, making them both able to sense danger at greater distances. The constant danger to be detected made the skill increase in level like crazy!

[Just hold on, a little bit longer, for me okay?] Vyktor was counting on Akira to keep the highly taxing skill [Mana Reinforcement]- The skill used a lot of mana for a greater degree of strength after all, and only Akira had enough mana to keep the skill running for long enough to be usable by Vyktor! [Okay… Just, go faster okay?] Vyktor felt that their whole conversation was a little weird, but he ran until his legs were about to give out, until he ran again a little more.

Panting, he came to rest at the base of a tree, their skill of sensing danger did not activate, making them relax a little- Until a sense of dread filled Akira's heart, making him pull Vyktor with all his strength, making them both fall to the ground and avoiding getting their heads chopped off as a large tongue shot out of the tree's bark, a mouth opening and stretching from the large tree. "Fuck." Akira couldn't help but groan in pain, his back falling right into thorns. It was painful, but the worst was that he did not fall alone, but had Vyktor's body weight pressing his body into the thorns. [Vyktor, move!] His eyes were vacant, and only then did Akira started to notice… Vyktor, he didn't feel him anymore. "...what?" Then came the blood, falling from Vyktor's face head right onto his face- Vyktor's arms went slack, his body lifeless as Akira was released. Getting up, still confused and full of dread, Akira looked at the corpse of Vyktor- He had a large hole in the back of his head, where part of his brain was missing.

The tree had a secondary tongue that it was using to eat part of the brain.

Akira turned and ran, his pathetic limbs trembling as he cried, a hand on his mouth- I mean, he didn't really like Vyktor, and he was an asshole, but he didn't deserve to die! Akira had run a lot when he started to feel this sense of deep anxiety and dread, he wanted Vyktor back and he felt like he was going to break apart if he didn't have him by his side! As he kept running, he felt a pull, and Vyktor's corpse appeared before his eyes, as if it had been teleported. No, it was teleported.

[Codependency has leveled up!]

[<Codependency lvl 3>

Rank: SSS

Description: You and your partner share a connection that is deep to the very core of your very soul, nothing can break this connection. If you are apart from each other for more than 1 Hour, you'll start to feel this deep anxiety and this need to be together, you cannot be more than 100 Meters apart, or else you'll be teleported to each other.

With this skill you can share anything with your partner, know your partner's location, state of being, and status! Status Effects only affect your partner if they also affect you at the same time, making both of you immune to them unless both of you are affected by them at the same time.

Not even death can separate you from your partner! As long as one is alive, the other will be revived beside the other.]

"Aaagh!" Vyktor groaned, his hand going to the back of his head as a headache exploded his mind- No, this was a migraine. "...what?" Feeling a sudden hug, Vyktor looked down to see a deeply distressed Akira, crying while hugging him- Did something happen? He just felt this stinging pain on his head before everything faded to black… Did he get knocked out? [Hey, Akira?] Speaking directly to his mind, Vyktor tried to- Immediately, a sense of relief, sadness, despair, happiness, soft contempt and a large amount of confusing affection. "You fucker-" A hand came crashing onto his stomach, but it felt ridiculously weak. "-don't fucking die, do you know how worried that shit made me!?" For a moment, Vyktor was surprised- Akira? Worried? About HIM!? But then he felt the tears soaking his blood stained shirt and he knew he was telling the truth. It felt weird knowing you died and came back, it felt surreal and ethereal for a moment before it crashed down on him.

He left.

He fucking left Akira- He left!

A sense of deep, deep anxiety and despair entered and took root. He pulled him into his arms, hugging him as he felt a deep sense of failure. He didn't want to leave him behind ever again, the very thought of it filled his heart with a dread that was unnatural and dark. "It's okay…" Vyktor swore: "I'll never leave you again."

And that was a promise.

[New Quest Generated: Kiss your partner]

[Reward: +1 Level, +1 Skill]

…

It was a highly emotional moment, the skill [Codependency] made them both feel things as the moment their souls were separated for too long, they could feel the longing for one another grow stronger and stronger until they would actually go after the other and not leave their side.

Their lips connected in a soft, tender kiss. Their faces were wet with tears and sweat, and maybe a little bit of blood too, but hey! The best kisses are after almost deadly peril, or in this case, after your partner dies, comes back, and you have a mental breakdown over it.

-Scene Cut-

Meanwhile, the Goddess who gave the due quests, smiled softly before pressing the button to send them a kiss quest. The moment was perfect, and the effect it had was incredible too! She sighed softly while giving them their earnest reward- "I hope they like it-"

They each would get a skill, but because of their unique skill, they could share it with one another. Well, she has given Akira the [Mana Reinforcement] skill after he completed the quest she gave him to say something embarrassing and personal to Vyktor, so now she'll give him a good skill!

She would grant Akira this skill-

[Kiss of Life - Lvl Max

Rank: S

Description: With a simple kiss, you can return life to the newly (7 days max) deceased, heal minor and major injuries, cure mundane and magical diseases, and even regenerate lost limbs.

This costs no mana, but instead, Divine Energy.

Note: This skill also makes the target feel really good and comfortable.]

While granting Vyktor this skill-

[Deadly Wounds - Lvl Max

Rank: S

Description: Upon attacking a target, you inflict internal damage to the target, making them bleed and lose MP. If used against targets without blood, the target will bleed its magical energy only, making them lose MP.]

With these two skills, their chances of surviving this whole ordeal are greater.
