“Name’s Evan”

Adam looked in shock at the slave, now named Evan. The name had a nice touch to it, not quite what the knight was expecting. Well, his own name didn’t match with his wild appearance, so who was he to judge the name of someone else. 

“My name’s Adam, nice to meet you, Evan. Would you like to go on a journey with me?” Adam asked, feeling hope blossom in his heart. He was beginning to grow attached to the other man, which was quite fast, but he could care less. He had lived all his life under strict control, not able to freely leave his house, nor being able to learn about things he wanted. All his life gravitated around the art of the sword.

It was time to act a little crazy.

“Sounds interesting, Adam. What do you have in store for us?” Evan answered, making Adam nearly shudder at the way his name rolled on the slave’s tongue. His deep baritone voice was enough to send shudders down his spine. He felt like he could hear it all day and never get bored. He wondered how it would feel if the slave was to whisper sweet things in his ear and a deep flush immediately marked his burning face. Adam was immensely thankful for his dark skin.

Adam began to question his rationality.

“Well… we could start by registering to a guild tomorrow, and then doing quests while exploring dungeons? My main goal is to enjoy the life I was deprived of, and then my second one is to gain enough strength to get revenge.” Adam slowly sat up, copying Evan by crossing his legs. Both men sat face to face, knees touching and hands still intertwined. 

The slave seemed to have taken a liking to Adam’s fingers, fidgeting and rubbing them. 

Evan wasn’t a touchy person per say, but strangely enough, he liked to feel the warmth of the knight’s skin. He was glad that such a person chose him. Evan nodded, expressing his agreement. 

Adam groaned as he got up, his whole body hurting like he was run over by an elephant. They had a bad habit of charging whoever danced before them and coupled with their earth attribute, it could hurt a lot when they chose to make themselves an armor out of rock. Don’t ask why they didn’t like people dancing, maybe it was the way it reminded them of their body being too big to be gracious or do somersaults.

Evan followed suit, not even blinking as his bones let out loud cracks. The knight looked at him, frightened by the sound. Here he was, being a little wimp over some bruises, while the slave with long scars on his body only stared at him with unfathomable eyes. Granted, Adam had experienced worse torture, but he still wasn’t accustomed to the pain.

Adam truly began to wonder if Evan had some god lineage. 

It didn’t help that he was way taller than Adam, standing one head taller. The knight mumbled under his breath, jealous of the monstrous height of the man. Evan’s ear twitched and suddenly, Adam found himself in Evan’s arms, being carried like a bride. the young man quickly wrapped his arms around the slave’s neck, fearing the drop. The man only started to walk toward the door, bowing his head so as to not knock it on the roof.

In this position, Adam was at the same height as the giant.

The knight wasn’t sure if he should feel embarrassed or grateful that the slave tried to cheer him up this way. Well, he for sure felt hot in the face when they encountered the slave trader and that he looked at them as if they had fucked in his backstore. Adam understood how it could lead to some misunderstanding. Adam, the smaller out of the two, being carried by a suddenly docile beast, both covered in bruises, was a pretty confusing situation, even for himself.

Adam chose not to comment on the sight, instead throwing some money to the slave trader and telling him that they were never here. The greedy man nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, stroking the gold coins with deep affection.

Adam could swear he saw the man salivate.

The knight fought back a shudder and instead pointed to Evan the nearest street leading back to more, let’s say, legal streets without shady business. The slave followed the direction, squeezing Adam’s body tighter as the young man started to struggle to get down.

Adam stopped his attempt to escape more embarrassing situations when a snicker was heard, his eyes following the sound to find some men dressed in dark clothes looking at him. Only their disgusting eyes could be seen from under their hood, racking his body up and down with lustful eyes and a sadistic glint.

Adam gulped and stiffened even more when one of the men took out a knife and passed his tongue on the edge. A deep rumble sounded near his ear and Adam looked back to Evan. Said man was currently shooting mental daggers toward the group while growling like an animal. Adam would have to talk to the giant about acting like a beast.

For now, however, it quite helped in getting Adam to calm down, so he would let it slide.

“We will sleep at Cyprès’ inn tonight.''Adam whispered in Evan’s ear as they approached the inns’ street, but the giant only looked a little startled by the sudden warm air blowing on his cartilage, before frowning at Adam. The knight looked at the slave, not understanding what was wrong, before a thought suddenly entered his mind.

“Can you read?” Adam asked, his face morphing into one of shame when Evan answered with a shake of his head. He should have thought about it. Maybe he hurt the man by assuming that he could read. Adam abruptly looked toward the giant as he felt a nose ruffle his hair, coming face to face with a grinning face. Evan’s visage was still mostly covered in facial hair, but Adam could see a warm glint in the man’s eyes, telling him that he didn’t mind.

Adam relaxed in the man’s strong arms, trying to keep his eyes open as they came near the inn he chose. With all his strength gathered, the knight lifted a heavy finger and pointed toward the inn.

He just hoped there were still rooms with two beds available.
