Help, I'm in Another World and All the Men Are So Hot! [BL]-Chapter 56: Unexpected Revelations

He even said so himself.

They had only known each other for a few days, so it was too soon to feel shocked about their relationship.

I get it, but...

Why can’t I stop crying...?

Seeing Damien suddenly start to cry, Theo panicked and rushed over to him.

No, no, I can’t do this.

I need to be as convenient a presence as possible.

Calm down, calm down, Damien.

"Ah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I thought I was the only virgin left, and it made me sad... no, it surprised me. It’s not like I was upset thinking you had a girlfriend or anything... sniff..."

Tears that had just barely stopped began to well up again.

"I-I’m fine, really."

"This isn’t that kind of thing, so it’s okay, Theo."

Damien thought that his expression must be completely clouded with darkness right now...

He tried to force a smile, wanting to at least appear as though everything was fine, but then...

Suddenly, both of Theo’s hands were tightly cupping his cheeks.

"...Huh? What? What’s going on?"

Confused and not understanding, Damien noticed Theo’s face getting closer as he stared intently at him.

Wait, what?!

His surprise made his tears dry up, and he instinctively tried to pull away, but Theo’s grip was too strong to escape.

"N-No, wait! Can we just calm down a bit? I mean, it’s too soon for us to be doing that... Mmm!?!"

Damien thought it was ridiculous to say that after everything that had just happened.

Before he could finish his thought, Theo forced his lips shut, silencing him.

...They had kissed.

Or rather, Theo had kissed him.

All the sadness from earlier vanished, and all Damien could think about was Theo’s soft lips.

There was also a nice scent, and it felt unfair how handsome Theo was.

With just one kiss, everything else faded away.

Damien thought to himself that he was being so easy, but it couldn’t be helped.

After all, Theo had kissed him.

What’s more, Theo’s tongue pushed its way into Damien’s mouth, catching him completely off guard.

Wait, what...?

He instinctively bit down with his front teeth to stop it, but the sensation of Theo’s tongue brushing against them made him open his mouth in surprise.

With that, Theo’s tongue completely invaded his mouth, dominating him.

Theo looked at Damien with an excited expression in his eyes.

Damien felt embarrassed, but he couldn’t look away.

While still gazing into Damien’s eyes, Theo lifted the hem of his nightgown and slid his right hand under Damien’s underwear...

Wait a minute.

How far does this guy think he’s going?

Trying to resist, Damien began to squirm seriously, but as his tongue intertwined with Theo’s, he lost all strength.

Taking Damien’s now passive right hand, Theo guided it down to his own groin...

Ll

Whoa, this is intense...

Once they started holding each other’s...

Well, I guess it’s only natural, right?

...His throat hurt.

...

"This... "This... this isn’t about that kind of thing."

Next to Damien, who lay exhausted on the bed, Theo sat upright in a formal seiza position.

Even though they were both on the bed, the scene currently resembled more of a scolding session than anything else.

"I-I’m really sorry... It’s just... Damien was so cute, and I got too excited... I couldn’t stop myself..."

"That’s exactly what I’m telling you is the problem!" Damien shot back. "You’re someone important, Theo! You need to have control over yourself, in every sense!"

A future where the heir to a noble house gets a reputation as a predator? That’s terrifying.

For ordinary people, it would be a nightmare, and for Theo’s family, it’d be a complete disaster.

As the heir to a powerful noble house, it’d be the worst possible scandal.

All Damien could picture was chaos—a string of illegitimate children scattered everywhere, bringing endless trouble.

"...Yes..." Theo muttered, shrinking even smaller under Damien’s glare.

He always seemed genuinely remorseful, but somehow, things never improved.

"B-but... I would never do this with anyone but Damien... It’s only you..."

"That’s not the point! It being ’only me’ doesn’t make it okay!" Damien scolded, but despite his words, his heart fluttered slightly at the thought.

Calm down, Damien... Breathe...

"...Not that it matters since you probably have a girlfriend too..." Damien mumbled under his breath.

Damn it! Keep it together! he scolded himself, realizing too late that his jealousy had slipped out.

Up until now, his complaints had been valid—at least, he thought they were. But now it was just pure jealousy talking.

"N-no, it’s not like that, Damien..." Theo stammered, his expression desperate as he tried to defend himself.

"Ah, no, forget what I said. That was out of line." Damien sighed, waving off Theo’s attempt to explain. "It’s not like I had any right to say that anyway. It’s not my place to be jealous—it’s not like we were anything before this."

Damien knew he had no right to say anything.

He needed to be someone who was convenient for Theo—someone without complications.

After all, their relationship was purely physical. Just two close friends who happened to engage in that kind of intimacy.

It was already decided that Theo would eventually marry someone else. And that should be fine, shouldn’t it?

"Sorry, the way I said that came off as petty," Damien admitted while forcing a smile. "I know I can’t change how I feel right away, but I’ll work on it. Even so... I still care about you, Theo. So please, don’t worry about it."

His words felt insincere, like a guilt trip, but at least the magic that linked their emotions would confirm that Damien truly meant what he said. For now, he could only hope Theo believed him.

Just as Damien thought he’d managed to smooth things over, something still felt off.

"...Haaaah..." Theo let out a heavy sigh, staring directly at Damien with a troubled expression.

"Um... It’s really not what you think. Not even close."

That was when Damien realized what had been bothering him—there hadn’t been any trace of the dark mist that indicated a lie earlier.
