"Should I worry about you liking them more than you like me?"
The teasing whisper came so close to Luca's ear that the golden-eyed cadet practically jumped in place.
"!"
His head immediately snapped toward his husband, eyes widening in disbelief, clearly never having expected that kind of question!
With one Oliver Mylor groaning somewhere nearby and all sorts of corrupted beasts shrieking and rampaging around them, Luca immediately leaned closer to whisper just as secretively back to his husband, "What?! I'll always like you the most!"
"Hm? Really?"
"Really!"
Xavier's lips curved slightly. "Then mind telling me what got you all curious?"
"You saw?!"
The expression Luca gave him clearly said he hadn't expected Xavier to notice at all, considering he genuinely didn't think he'd been acting that obviously.
"Mn. Part of maintaining competitive advantage."
Now, to anyone else, that probably sounded like Xavier was simply teasing his wife.
