Help, I'm in Another World and All the Men Are Are So Dangerous! [BL]-Chapter 284: Fluffy Ride

Yesterday, during their game of tag, he had taken a nasty fall and ended up with a big scrape on his knee.

And to make matters worse, he had fallen right in front of Sylas.

That made the situation way more dramatic than if he had just gotten hurt on his own.

Seeing Rocco’s knee covered in blood had apparently traumatized Sylas so much that he immediately banned him from playing tag for the foreseeable future.

Which was so weird.

Sylas saw far worse things all the time—blood from bad people, injuries way nastier than a scraped knee.

So why was his little wound enough to traumatize him?

Rocco decided to add this mystery to his growing list of "Sylas’s Seven Wonders." With a sulky sigh, he mumbled under his breath. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"...Yesterday was just a little accident. I can usually run just fine."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. You were just having too much fun and forgot to watch where you were going for a second. It’s okay, Rocco, I know it wasn’t your fault."

"Mmm..."

Laxus suddenly scooped him up with ease, and Rocco settled into his arms without resistance.

Resting his face against Laxus’s shoulder, he felt a gentle hand ruffle his hair. Mmm... Laxus is so nice.

As he nuzzled into Laxus’s shoulder, he felt a series of tiny kisses being placed on the top of his head.

"Hey! Stop that! I always tell you not to do that!"

Laxus just chuckled.

"Alright, then let’s take a walk today. No running, just a nice, slow stroll."

"A walk...?"

"Yup! But not just any walk. A super safe walk, where there’s absolutely no chance of Rocco getting hurt."

With that, Laxus gently placed Rocco back on the ground.

Rocco blinked up at him curiously, watching closely as Laxus suddenly broke into a grin.

Then, in an instant—his body shifted.

"Wha—!"

Rocco gasped and jumped in surprise, landing on his bottom with a soft plop.

And then—slurp!

A warm, thick tongue swiped across his cheek.

Slurp, slurp. Huh? What was that?

Slowly, Rocco peeked his eyes open... and his face immediately lit up.

That massive, fluffy body.

Those sharp, gleaming red eyes.

That incredibly cool form.

Wait, wait—could it be...?!

"FUZZBALL!!!"

"Hehe. That’s right, I’m a wolf now," Laxus chuckled.

With an excited squeal, Rocco launched himself forward, wrapping his arms tightly around Laxus’s fluffy fur.

Laxus who is now in his wolf form, looked down at him with gentle eyes.

Even though Rocco was completely latched onto him like a little koala, Laxus didn’t seem bothered at all.

If anything, he encouraged it—his long tongue kept lapping at Rocco’s face, and his massive body curled around him protectively.

"Do you still like me, even as a white wolf with red eyes?"

"Hmph! Of course I do! Laxus is so cool! I love you!!"

"Heheh... I see, I see..."

Without even realizing he had been half-pinned down, Rocco simply accepted Laxus’s relentless licking attack, laughing gleefully.

If Laxus had been in his human form, Rocco would have been too embarrassed to let him get away with all the kisses and licks—he would have immediately pushed him away.

But for some reason...

Like this, it didn’t make him shy at all. He could accept it naturally.

Yes, it was probably because it didn’t feel like it was coming from a person. It just felt like a dog happily licking its owner. That’s all.

"Hehe. Good boy, Laxus. Good boy, good boy."

"Hmm, what’s this? Are you training me? Are you gonna be my master now? Should I start calling you that?"

"Hey! No! This isn’t training! We’re just playing together like good friends!"

Training—what a misleading word!

Rocco wriggled out from under Laxus’s fluffy form and huffed in protest.

axus blinked at him for a moment before breaking into a soft, amused smile.

"I see, I see. You’re right. We’re best friends, after all."

Rocco tilted his head at Laxus’s oddly good mood.

Then, suddenly, Laxus turned around, lowering his body to the ground and gently wagging his tail.

"Go ahead, hop on, Rocco. Let’s go for a walk."

"Huh? Ride?"

Rocco stiffened in place.

Laxus turned his head slightly to glance at him, his sharp red eyes softening.

His tail swayed invitingly in front of Rocco, and he had to fight the urge to pounce on it.

"If you’re not walking, then you can’t fall, right? So if you ride on my back, there’s absolutely no way you’ll get hurt."

...Th-That’s...

An incredibly brute-force way of thinking!!

Rocco was stunned by the sheer absurdity of the logic.

But... the fluff...

Unable to resist the temptation, he hesitantly crawled onto Laxus’s back.

"Hmmm, fluffy..."

It was heavenly.

Carefully, he settled himself on top, resting lightly and giving Laxus’s neck a gentle pat.

As he watched Laxus’s ears twitch in delight, he cautiously asked, "U-Uh... is this okay? Am I too heavy? Does it hurt?"

"Not at all. You’re so light, I’m actually a little worried. After our walk, let’s go eat some more sweets together, okay?"

At the mention of sweets, Rocco’s expression instantly brightened.

"Hauuhh..."

Well... if he was already planning to go home after the walk, why not stay just a little longer?

It definitely wasn’t because of the sweets.

No, no.

It would be rude to leave behind the snacks that had been prepared! And besides, wouldn’t the sweets be sad if they were left uneaten?

Yes. That was the only reason.

"Alright, alright! Let’s go, Laxus!"

In his mind, he was now the mightiest knight atop a noble white steed.

Straightening his posture, he pointed dramatically ahead, as if commanding his loyal companion into battle.

"H-Hmph. I-I totally knew that already. You were talking about Ares, right? I knew that. Obviously."

"Yeah, yeah, of course. You totally knew. I was just making a little joke, that’s all."

"E-Exactly! I’m a thoughtful person, you know! I just wanted to lighten the mood for everyone!"

Rocco spoke as if everything had gone according to plan, nodding to himself in satisfaction.
