The Blue Eyes

It was like Kevin just threw a bomb in Kris's direction, and Kris's life immediately collapsed because of the high explosive bomb.

The caramel-haired man couldn't even find his voice and just kept staring at Kevin in horror. It was opposite from Kevin, who refused to make any contact with his lover.

Jack and Casper in the front seats could sense the tense atmosphere in the back seats. They glanced at each other as if trying to communicate with their eyes.

'You'd better intervene them before they kill each other in the car, Jack!'

'Why should I intervene them? It's not my business!'

'They're your friends! How can you say that it's none of your business? Just do something or I'll jump out of the car!'

Jack looked a little panicked when he saw Casper's grim expression. They weren't communicating by uttering some words, but it seemed they could understand each other just by looking at each other's eyes.

Jack could only sigh lamentedly as he peeked at the two people in the back seats through the rearview mirror.

"Kevin," the first word had been said, and the owner of the name turned to him. "Don't you want to know what we met when we were in Chilad? Don't you wonder why we returned to Nozheic earlier than we planned?"

The young scientist blinked confusedly at Jack. He was too focused on Kris, and he didn't seem to notice the oddity. A bad feeling ran down his spine. It looked like something bad had happened in Chile today.

"What happened in Chilad, Jack?" He questioned the tattooed man.

Jack exhaled loudly when he heard Kevin's question. "Someone attempted to kill us in Chilad," he answered in a solemn tone.

Kevin's eyes bulged instantly after Jack finished his one-sentence explanation.

"What?" The raven-haired scientist asked in disbelief. "Someone attempted to kill you? But, who is that person? Are you hurt anywhere?"

​ Kevin looked panicked, and Jack could see the expression in the rearview mirror. It seemed that the young scientist was talking to him, but sometimes his eyes would wander over to Kris as if he were directing the question to the tanned man.

"I believe Kris can give you a better explanation, Kev."

Jack deliberately shoved the responsibility to explain everything to the burly man. He secretly peeked at the man through the mirror, and he could see the man glaring at him. He didn't care, though. He just shrugged his shoulders as he refocused on driving.

Kevin and Kris were so awkward in the back seats. They kept glancing at each other from time to time, but no one dared to break the awkwardness.

"For God's sake! Just talk to each other, or just kiss if you don't want to talk!"

It wasn't Jack who suddenly shouted, and both Kevin and Kris were slightly taken aback by the scream. The three of them turned to the remaining person in the car and found Casper widening his eyes with a crimson face.

"I... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to shout!" The young soldier looked embarrassed and guilty at the same time. It was him who suddenly screamed out of the blue and shocked the living creatures in the car.

But, the innocent expression on Casper's face could make Kevin chuckle.

"I don't know how did you guys meet this guy, but this guy is so adorable."

"You dare to call another man adorable in front of me?"

Kevin immediately turned to his side and found Kris staring at him with his jealous eyes.

"Enough with your jealousy, Kris," Kevin spoke softly to his lover. "Let's talk about the more important thing first. I want to know what happened in Chilad."

"You think our relationship is not important? You still want to break up with me?"

Kevin started fuming when he saw his lover's stubborn attitude. He wanted to pull his hair so badly, then shouted right in front of Kris's face. He was frustrated, but he still tried to control himself.

The young scientist inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly through his mouth. If his lover continued to act like a kid, then he needed to act mature to balance their relationship.

"I don't want to break up with you, Kris," he replied sincerely. "Luke confessed his feelings to me today, but I don't have any romantic feelings toward him. I only love you, Kris. You should just believe in me and stop being insecure."

Kris slightly flinched when he heard the "confession" word, but then he looked calm again after hearing Kevin's complete explanation. The tanned man finally smiled at his lover as he ran his hand to caress his lover's cheek.

"I'm sorry, Kev," he whispered tenderly. "I didn't mean to doubt your love, but I can't help it when I have an adorable boyfriend like you. I want to lock you up in our room and won't let you go even just for a second."

"Just tell your boyfriend that you want to try BDSM with him, Kris."

Both Kevin and Kris turned their heads to the front seats, and they could see Jack smirking through the rearview mirror.

"What the hell did you just say, Jack?" Kris asked the blonde as he flustered. It seemed that the word "BDSM" tickled his conscience.

"You said that you wanted to lock him up. You want to try bondage, right? Do you want to fuck your boyfriend while he is in handcuffs or something? Is that your fetish?"

Kevin and Kris blushed so hard when they heard Jack's vulgar words. Casper, who was sitting next to Jack, showed an embarrassed expression as well.

"That's not what I meant!" Kris hurriedly clarified. "I... I just don't want to see Kevin get close with other people! I'm not a pervert!"

Jack just sneered at him, but he chose to accept the denial and no longer argue.

On the other hand, Kevin cleared his throat before saying, "You're indeed a pervert sometimes, Kris."

"Who's a pervert?" Kris once again denied the accusation. "I swear that I've never had that kind of thought! I just want to make love to you normally!"

Kevin blushed, Casper widened his eyes, and Jack laughed evilly. Kris was too blunt sometimes.

"Can you stop the nonsense and explain to me what happened in Chilad today?" Kevin went back to his rationality and questioned his lover. His face was still red, though. It would be difficult for him to brush off the naughty thoughts in his mind.

The said lover blinked at him innocently before he started explaining, "We met Casper at the buried valley site, and then we ate lunch together in one of the taverns not far from the site. After we finished eating and were about to go back to the site, a mysterious car started attacking our car with an RPG and guns."

Kevin looked shocked by the piece of information that was just been uttered by his lover. He brought his hand to touch his lover's body and started examining the sturdy body.

"Are you hurt somewhere? They even have an RPG, so you must be hurt somewhere when they shot the RPG toward this car, right?"

Kris smiled softly when he saw his lover's worried expression. It was still the same Kevin who would easily worry about his condition. Kevin had not changed at all. He was still Kevin Beischel who loved him wholeheartedly.

He carefully grabbed Kevin's hand that was just roaming through his body and kissed the palm tenderly.

"I'm fine, Kev. The RPG wouldn't hurt me as long as I'm inside this car."

Kevin looked puzzled, but he just let his lover continue kissing his palm. Kris always said that his palm smell so good, and it was his hobby to kiss his palm. Perhaps that was Kris's real fetish.

"What do you mean by the RPG wouldn't hurt you as long as you're inside the car? What's so special with this expensive car?"

Kris chuckled as he stopped kissing his lover's smooth palm. "It's expensive because it's special, Kev," he answered his lover's question calmly. "This car is bulletproof and fireproof. That's why I borrowed this car from you today. I had a hunch that something bad was going to happen, and my hunch was confirmed today."

"You sound like Blue."

A comment came from the front seat, and they simultaneously found Jack smiling at them through the rearview mirror.

"Blue always said that she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen or that someone had bad intentions towards us. You sound like Blue just now."

Kris finally laughed after he understood what Jack meant. Kevin also smiled beside him. Jack was right. Kris sounded like his niece just now. It was rare to hear that kind of statement coming from a rational person like Kris.

Kevin and Kris's relaxed expressions were a total opposite of Casper's tense expression. Instead of showing a calm expression, the young soldier gazed at Jack while furrowing his brows.

"You keep talking about Blue, Jack. What's your relationship with her?"
