Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 222 You are bad…

Chapter 222 You are bad…

?"Ugghh…"

As Vaan woke up, he could feel an acute pain in his head. His vision was still unclear but even then, he tried to sat up and started rubbing his eyes to get a clearer version.

He was drowsy, the headache wasn't helping, but then suddenly, he was jolted awake when his hand fell on something soft.

It was Elara's hand.

The moment Elara felt his hand over hers, she grabbed it and then rolled over, forming a grip and Vaan would never be able to get away from.

Helpless, Vaan could only law down to get into a more comfortable position.

His head was still aching and soon,

He started recalling what happened last night and couldn't help but look at Elara, who was sleeping peacefully while holding his hand like a koala.

The expressions this innocent face showed yesterday…

'You aren't allowed to team up with anyone but me!'

He could still vividly remember how Elara held his face with both her hands, making him look right into her eyes, and spoke with that threatening, yet tipsy look on her face.

'Heh.'

Thinking about it, Vaan couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

Who could possibly believe that this was the same woman who stuttered while speaking with anyone new and didn't give her all in any battles just so her opponents do not get hurt. For someone as na?ve as Elara, her yesterday's version was…

Vaan continued to stare at the sleeping Elara's face, he felt that yesterday, their relationship had stepped into an even deeper level.

This time, Elara being the one taking the charge and even going as far as setting boundaries and actively talking about what made her uncomfortable.

The possessive side she showed…

Normally, it would be termed restrictive, narrow-minded and whatnot, but in Vaan's eyes, it was nothing but his fiancée being adorable.

Vaan had truly fallen.

Who could believe that an underworld leader who never let any women get close to him and only focused on getting rid of his enemies would let a woman roll over him and set boundaries on him? Not to mention he was allowing all that to happen while being glad about it.

Suddenly, while Vaan was staring at Elara, he noticed her eyelids move. She was about to wake up, and in an instant, Vaan shut his eyes closed, acting like he was asleep, only leaving a slight slit open just to see Elara's reaction.

He didn't know why he did it, he never enjoyed such games in his previous life, this time, however, it felt different.

Just like Vaan, Elara's eyelids were heavy, she had drank much more than Vaan, even consuming Vaan's bottle at the end, so her case was much worse than Vaan.

She squinched her eyes and nose, trying to alleviate the pain, then, as she rubbed her eyes, she slowly opened one of them and with her vision still unclear, her eyes fell on Vaan, sleeping right in front of her.

Elara then noticed how she had grabbed Vaan's hand and in an instant, her face turned red. The headache that was troubling her disappeared in an instant and she started thinking about what to do next.

As if to torture her even further, memories of what she did yesterday starting settling into her brain, the more she recalled, the redder her face got.

It reached to the point where even her body started trembling in embarrassment. She started thinking about how Vaan would react once he woke up, what he would think about her, how she would answer if he asked any questions, how would she react once Isabel came, how…

More and more questions start filling Elara's mind, overwhelming her.

She tightened her grip around Vaan's arm in panic, then, she closed her eyes and started rubbing her face on his triceps. Vaan's arm gave her a sense of comfort and relief,

She had indeed fucked up.

She knew it, however, with Vaan's hand under her control, she felt she could think of a solution and get out of this situation.

But of course, these were only her thoughts.

Vaan had different intentions.

He, who has been enjoying different reactions his fiancée was showing, was already preparing a devious plan in his head.

In front of drunk Elara, he was indeed helpless.

The situation, however, reverses when Elara is sober.

It was now his turn to get the situation under his control.

"Hupmmm…"

Suddenly, Vaan made a strange sound as the arm Elara was holding moved slightly.

In an instant, all the color faded away from Elara's face.

She still hadn't come up with any solution yet!

Why did he wake up so soon?

Trying to reverse the situation, Elara trying loosening her grip over Vaan's arm, however, all her hopes were crushed the moment she noticed Vaan's eyelids moving.

He was awake.

There was nothing she could do now.

Elara looked around, wanting to find a place she could hide in, but suddenly,

Vaan rolled over.

His big arm coming all over Elara's back and his leg locked hers.

Elara was trapped and like a scared prey caught in a trap, she started trembling in nervousness, staring at Vaan, waiting for him to open his eyes and her impending doom.

An entire minute passed by, but nothing happened. Vaan's face was still, not moving at all. Elara's expression changed.

She realized that Vaan was still asleep.

In an instant, her crushed hope was revived again.

However, soon, she faced another problem.

Vaan moving meant that he was about to wake up soon.

Yes, this girl had observed and noted down even his sleeping habits. She knew that once Vaan was asleep, he seldomly moved.

Honestly, Vaan's action today was a little out of the ordinary, however, Elara didn't doubt it and simply blamed the data she had collected, treating this as an exception.

After all, Vaan couldn't possibly be acting like he was asleep.

Why would he do something like that?

Anyways, Elara wanted to move away, wanting a place to hide but with Vaan all over her like this, she couldn't possibly move without waking him up. It was a troublesome situation and Elara's heart started beating quickly. Panicking about how she would face Vaan once he wakes up.

Then suddenly,

"Elara… I promise I won't team up with Isabel or anyone else…"

Elara heard Vaan's voice.

He was sleep talking!

It was completely out of expectations, ever since she had been observing Vaan, never once did he sleep talk!

Then why was he doing it right now!? Is it because of what she said yesterday? Did her words leave some impression in his mind? Is he worried about what she said?

All these questions filled Elara's mind, however, she wasn't given the time to think of the answers.

"I will not team up with anyone if…

You kiss me on the lips."

Vaan spoke and in an instant, Elara froze.

Vaan's eyes were closed, so she was sure that he was sleep- talking. After all, Vaan would never trick her.

His demand, however… was a little too embarrassing!

Why was he asking for a kiss? Was it because he was dreaming? What was he dreaming about? What is she supposed to do? Does she need to kiss him for real? Or is it just Vaan sleep-

talking and something she could just ignore?

"Elara… kiss me…"

Vaan spoke again.

Elara panicked even more. With Vaan holding her like this, she couldn't run away, she had no other option but to listen to his demands and decide what to do.

The ball was in her court, however,

"Elara…"

With Vaan constantly influencing her thoughts, she was soon overwhelmed and,

'H-He's sleeping, so h-he wouldn't know…'

She thought inwardly as she tightly shut her eyes close and moved her mouth towards Vaan. Ss

Their lips met, Elara trembled in panic but at the same time, a strange wave of joy rushed into her body. She felt like she was taking advantage of Vaan.

Vaan on the other hand, was enjoying the show and the service that came with it.

His adorable and sober Elara was taking the initiative to kiss him, it was definitely a great feeling.

Suddenly, his hands moved and held Elara's head from behind, Elara widened her eyes in surprise, soon, however, those eyes were lost in the joyful feeling and were shut down.

The two shared a long kiss.

Once separated, Elara observed the 'sleeping Vaan and,

"You aren't sleeping…"

She spoke.

This was way too out of Vaan's sleeping habits.

She couldn't help but feel something was missing.

In the end, Vaan felt that it was enough and opened his eyes, looking at Elara with a playful smile on his face,

"Gottcha." He spoke in a gentle voice, kissing Elara's nose.

Elara pouted, "You lied…"

Vaan however, simply kissed her forehead.

"I am sorry~" he apologized.

Not that he meant it, he was definitely going to do it again.

Elara knew that as well,

"You are bad…"

She complained as she placed her head on his chest.

Vaan wanted to cuddle as well, however, as his hand moved,

*Knock* *Knock*

A knock was heard.

"You brat, wake up and get ready.

Your mother is coming."
