Clarke and the kids prepared themselves like always since Gaius was still recovering. The kids got used to it since they didn't want to disturb their mother's rest.Â

Technically, that kind of internal wound would've made Gaius fully paralyzed. It was thanks to Gaius' healing ability that made him able to recover from such a grievous wound.Â

"Here's your briefcase, don't forget to eat the lunch I prepared for you today, okay?" Gaius said to Clarke.Â

Clarke nodded and kissed Gaius' cheek, "I'll see you later, Wife. Oh, Reed said that he has free time today, so he might come and accompany you," Clarke informed.Â

Gaius nodded and followed his husband until he reached the front door. After the door was shut, Gaius turned his wheelchair around and started doing his daily mundane activity.Â

Pupa also got bored, and it materialized in front of Yunyu, who was reading a book currently, "Are you going to spend the rest of the day having a mundane life like this?"

"It's called peaceful, not mundane!" Yunyu protested. Though, even he knew that it was boring here. He couldn't do much anyway since he still couldn't move his lower body.Â

"I tried eating that healing fruit I made, and that vitamin, but the X-Ray Doctor said that I still need to rest for an undetermined time because the damage is too much even for me," Yunyu sighed.Â

"Where is that guy anyway? At least he can keep me entertained or something. I'm so boooreeedd!" Yunyu yelled out of frustration.Â

Speaking of the devil, he suddenly heard the bell rang.

Ding-Dong!Â

"Oh, that must be him!"

Gaius went to the front door and opened it. Reed Ville came with a bouquet of flowers on his arm, "Hi, Gaius, can I come in?" Reed said.

Gaius was surprised with the bouquet, "Uh-huh, sure! Though, I don't know why do you bring a bouquet?"

"Because I want to freshen the house? I know that you can grow plants, so I think you should like this as well," Reed said as he walked in and put the bouquet on the table.Â

Gaius approached the bouquet and inhaled the scent. As Mother Nature incarnation, he loved the scent of flowers, grass, and nature in general. But strangely, the one he inhaled from the bouquet had a strange smell.

It was good, but there seemed to be an alien scent that shouldn't have existed in the first place.Â

Something that was intentionally put inside the flowers.Â

Gaius wanted to be suspicious, but seeing Reed already sitting on the couch while watching a TV show made him hold his fear. Because Reed seemed to be unbothered with it.Â

Gaius brushed that suspicious thought away from his head and joined Reed, "Do you want something? I can cook it for you." Gaius asked.Â

"Uh'¦ I don't need anything right now," Reed commented. He glanced at Gaius and had an idea in his head.

"Then I'll continue reading'”WHA!?" Gaius was startled when his body was suddenly lifted by two strong arms.Â

Reed carried Gaius and gently put him down on the sofa. Then he went to the kitchen and picked up two Cola from the fridge. Reed returned and sat right beside Gaius on the sofa.Â

"My heart skipped for a second when you carried me," Gaius said honestly. "Nobody ever carried me like that except my husband, Clarke."

"Hooo? So I'm the second then," Reed shrugged lightly as if he had long expected it.Â

Gaius pouted. He felt that Reed was a bit impudent, and he didn't even apologize!

But he couldn't do anything about it because he didn't want to make it weird between them.

Thus, Gaius just sat on the sofa while watching the TV in silence until the news about another Monster attack surprised Gaius.Â

This time, it was another fantastical monster, a dragon that had been conjured to wreak havoc in the city.Â

"How can they attack so fast?" Gaius wondered. Usually, the supervillains would attack once or twice a week depending on their resource, not daily like this.Âplease visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"Brother must've been very busy these days," Reed commented after seeing that news. The live broadcast also showed Superbman and the league of heroes trying to take down the dragon.Â

"I think someone is behind this attack. How could they create such a monster in a short time?" Reed theorized.

Gaius was worried when he watched the live broadcast, but Reed was taking his time instead. He leisurely leaned on the sofa and put his hand on Gaius' shoulder.

Gaius flinched when that big arm landed on his shoulder. He glanced at Reed, but the man still didn't budge, and he didn't even look back. He just kept drinking Cola and watched the broadcast as if he was doing something completely normal.Â

Gaius felt uncomfortable instead, so he demanded, "Please put me back on my wheelchair. I still need to cook for lunch for my children."

"Ah, sorry, I just thought that it must be tiring to sit on that wheelchair, so I just picked you up and sat you on the sofa to rest," Reed said.

Gaius was stunned because he thought that Reed had a hidden motive. But when Reed easily said that he just wanted Gaius to rest, the latter felt guilty instead.Â

Gaius really thought that Reed was unscrupulous and perverted.Â

"N'”No worries, I just thought that you're'”"

"Hm?"

"'¦ nothing. Just put me back on the wheelchair," Gaius said.Â

Reed obliged and carried Gaius in bridal style. Gaius had to cling to Reed's neck out of surprise, "Whoa! W'”Why are you carrying me like this!?"

"Huh? You didn't seem happy when I grabbed you by your waist, so I just carried you like this. Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing," Gaius felt defeated, but he couldn't do anything and just let Reed put him on his wheelchair again. He shuddered when he felt Reed's rough hand caressed his inner thigh, although it wasn't meant to be sexual.

[He definitely means it! He is such a pervert!]

[Pupa: His Fatemeter is still -90%.]

[Doesn't matter. He's still a pervert! Do you think there is no such thing as divorce sex? Break up sex? Frenemy sex?]

[Pupa: You just made that up.]

It was all just in Gaius' head. Reed didn't have any perverted intention to him at all.Â

After he put Gaius on the wheelchair, Reed walked to the kitchen first and wore the apron, "What do you want to cook today?" He asked.

Gaius was displeased by Reed's initiative. He acted as if they were very close already. But he couldn't do much because this man was still his brother-in-law.Â

"I want to make some light lunch and then heavy dinner," Gaius said as he rolled his wheelchair to the kitchen. "You just need to cut some vegetables and meat. Leave the rest to me."

"I can cook too if you want," Reed offered.Â

"No need."

Reed leaned on the kitchen counter and crossed his arms. He watched Gaius worked with difficulty on the wheelchair but still didn't ask for help.Â

"Gaius'”No, brother-in-law, did I do something wrong today? You don't seem to be happy that I come here to accompany you."Â
