"You're not late. The kids are waiting for you."

"The kids, huh…." Reed smiled and walked in to join them. 

Hermes and Artemis were sitting obediently, munching on a big bowl of caramel popcorn. Then, Uncle Reed suddenly popped out in front of them. 

The kids turned their heads, and their expression cheered up immediately, "Uncle Reed!"

"My hero and my Princess!" The kids jumped out of the chair and hugged Uncle Reed's leg and waist. Artemis tried climbing Uncle Reed's trousers, so Reed hurriedly grabbed her and carried Artemis on his arm. 

"You two have been waiting for me?"

"YES!"

"Ahaha, that's good then," Reed sat on the couch reserved for him with the kids, with Hermes on his left and Artemis sitting on his lap. 

Gaius joined with a pack of beer and French fries as another snack as he clicked on the movie, and they started watching.

Gaius sat on another smaller couch, so he could separate himself from Reed. Because he felt it was inappropriate for him to join so closely as if they were about to cuddle. 

They were watching Finding Dory happily, but Hermes felt that his Mom was a little awkward, sitting alone while they cuddled with Uncle Reed, "Mom, sit with us!" Hermes suggested.

"Mommy, sit with Arte…." Artemis patted Uncle Reed's other thigh for her Mommy to sit on. 

Gaius shook his head. He knew the kids were still innocent, so they didn't understand how to limit themselves from someone that wasn't their spouse. But Hermes insisted and got up from the chair. He pulled his Mom's hand and forced Gaius to sit right beside Uncle Reed. 

Gaius nervously sat beside Reed. Their thighs were rubbing on each other while the kids enjoyed eating popcorn and laughing whenever there was a funny scene in the movie. 

Reed was also laughing with the kids, but Gaius was so tense because Reed made it natural to have a movie day with them. He rubbed their knees together and also put his hands on Gaius' shoulder. 

"R—Reed, your hand…." Gaius warned, hoping that Reed understood how improper he was right now. 

But Reed only hummed and asked, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

The kids also turned their heads at their Mom, wondering why their Mom looked anxious instead. 

"Mom, is there something wrong?" Hermes asked. 

"Mommy…"

Under the gaze of his kids, he could only swallow his saliva and shook his head. "N—Nothing, let's continue watching."

[Reed is a total chad, though.]

[He knows what to do and knows how to do it, he basically trapped me in this situation where I cannot escape him because it would give a bad impression to the kids.]

[Pupa: Well, he is a top-class playboy before he knows the Gaist Family. He knows what to do and gets bored after the chase has ended.]

[Do you think he'll get bored once I give myself to him?]

[Pupa: Who knows? He still hates you right now. Don't you see that -50% Fatemeter?]

[Hngggh, I'd be tricked to think that he is actually into me if you don't show me that -50%. It seems that he hates me to the guts for whatever reason.]

[Pupa: Definitely.]                         

Reed enjoyed seeing Gaius' nervousness beside him. He was obviously uncomfortable, but he acted as if nothing was wrong. He didn't want his children to get suspicious and awkward. 

Gaius was like an open book, but it wasn't bad. In fact, it was a nice change for Reed, who always scheming or had to fight against someone else's scheme. 

Aside from his identity as a superhero, Gaius was just an obedient housewife that didn't have much ambition in him except to have a happy life with his husband, perfect prey for Reed Ville. 

[Pupa: Ding! Reed Ville's Fatemeter increases to -40%.]

They enjoyed the movie together until Reed suddenly asked Gaius, "Would you mind picking that can of beer for me?" 

He pointed at the beer on the table with his chin, signaling Gaius to give it to him. Gaius was reluctant, but he didn't want to be the party pooper for the kids, so he obliged and picked the beer.

Gaius was kind enough to open the can for Reed, but it seemed that Reed wanted more than just that. 

In front of the kids, he pressures Gaius even more, "Ah, sorry, my hands are full holding Artemis right now, would you mind pouring it on my mouth?" 



[Seriously, what a strategic man! He's definitely someone who knows how to play this game!]

[Pupa: You seem to be so excited to play this little game with Reed.]

[I mean, I'm always into a scheming, evil, obsessive, and slightly psychotic man! They're definitely my type!]

[Pupa: That's a weird preference, you know…]

Gaius sighed. He knew that Reed's request would lead to this. Reed just wanted him to pour a drink on his mouth like a king asking his concubine for something. Only an idiot would follow his request.

Yet, Gaius was that idiot as he slowly poured the cola inside Reed's mouth, and after Reed drank at least half of the cola, he requested, "Would you mind feeding me that French fries? My hands are full…."

"Aish…" Gaius rolled his eyes and obediently picked few French fries and slowly fed Reed. The kids were too focused on the movie as it was nearing the climax of the story. 

Gaius continued feeding Reed intimately. The loud voice from the home theatre speaker deafened the surrounding, so Gaius didn't realize that someone had opened the front door with his own lock. 

Clarke walked in, and he heard the loud voice of the home theatre in the family room. He was mentally exhausted, too exhausted to function right now, but whenever he thought about his wife and children waiting for his arrival at home, he got a surge of power to push through. 

Thus, he planned to surprise their family movie day by sneaking in. But when Clarke saw someone else sitting on his usual spot, being fed french fries by his beloved wife, Clarke was astonished.

"Wife?"
