《Steal The Male Lead》2.9
Advertisement
The next day, Andy got a call from Daniel. Waking up from bed, his hair still in a mess, Andy answered the phone while still half asleep.
"Hello?" Andy's voice was raspy from just waking up, his eyes in a daze before they slowly zoned back in. Of course, he was just pretending, it was just fake. Andy did not just wake up, he was just spending his time messing around with System, that's what he was doing. But, it wasn't like anyone was ever going to know, so who cares?
"Hello, this is Daniel here. Andy, do you think you'll be able to schedule a dinner plan for tonight?" Daniel's voice came out from the other side, his voice filled with a slight nervousness that could be heard clearly by Andy. But, Andy pretended not to hear it. Daniel's heart was running a marathon as he heard Andy's voice.
"Tonight?"
"It- If you don't have enough time, we can always schedule it for another time. I just....wanted to go over some details about the plan we've made." Daniel knew very clearly that he was lying, but what he didn't notice was that there was the slightest blush upon his face.
"No, tonight will be alright. There are some things that I have to talk to you about too. Should I schedule it?" Andy purposely made his voice a little less cold than what it usually was.
"No, that's fine. I will do it. Does it matter where we go, or do you have a place you prefer?" Daniel softly smiled as he talked into his phone, his eyes warm from just hearing Andy's voice. Even if he didn't see his face, Daniel still felt happy. After all, this was the man that his heart did beat for. Even if he wasn't sure if he loved this man, his heart still felt warm when thinking of this man.
"I don't, I just usually tend to go to places that are quiet." Andy eyes were dark as he said this, but from what Daniel heard, Andy's voice was still the same cold, if not, slightly warmer voice.
"Will do then, I'll pick you up at 6 PM, will that be fine with you?" Daniel simply couldn't hide the feelings he was experiencing, acting as if he was a teenage girl in love. His voice was obviously happy and his expression was even more like that of a fool in love.
"Alright then." Andy didn't say much because it wasn't like there was anything else he could've said.
"Alright then, thank you, Andy." Daniel was fully content, even though he didn't know how Andy would feel towards him. His heart was filled with happiness, and even his eyes looked like they were filled with hearts in them. As he got off the phone, Daniel set down his phone, covering his face with both of his hands as he smiled into them.

(Male lead's love percentage is at 70%.)
"Alright then," Andy ended the phone after saying his goodbye.
While turning off his phone, and trying to maintain his face from twitching, he asked to System.
(Hey, why is this world so easy? It's even easier than the last world. I haven't done anything but Daniel is already so in love with Andy, it's weird.)
System kept silent for a while, not responding until a few moments later.
[It is because Avian has lost his halo on Daniel. After all, Daniel was tied to Avian and was always meant to, but since Avian had done so much wrongs things for so long, it's only a matter of time before it disappears. After all, Daniel did love Avian, but it wasn't like that kind of love. It was more like that of a close friend type of relationship, but because Daniel also had a rough childhood, he didn't think that it was like that, hence he fell into what he thought was love, but wasn't.]
(But that doesn't explain why he is falling in love with Andy so fast.)
Once again, System didn't say anything at first until a moment of thinking.
[The original soul was quite imbedded in Daniel's heart, and it wouldn't be wrong to say that Andy was Daniel's first love. But because Avian had interfered with Daniel, he dismissed Andy away from his heart, and later, forgot about him because his heart and mind was now focused on Avian. Because you took over this body, your actions also diverged from that of the original soul, not to mention, with Daniel and Avian's relationship like how it was, it would be weird if Daniel didn't fall in love with Andy. As for why he is falling in love with Andy so fast, that is a question that you must find out yourself.]
(Can you give me a hint?)
Andy truly didn't know how to answer this question, but at the same time, it wasn't like he wished to answer. It was merely a question that made him curious, that was it. After all, it only made his task easier. He wasn't going to sweat it.
[No can do, Host. You're pretty smart yourself, I'm sure that you would be able to guess if you think hard enough. This world does seem easy, but later on, it will get harder. For all systems, we are merely controlled by the higher-ups, thus, we have little to no will about which world we decide to send you into. In fact, you should feel lucky that you have me since I am not controlled by much rules made. It does get harder, this I will promise you, Host.]

Andy didn't feel sad about that, he was ecstatic about it. A little challenge for him, it was something he hadn't felt for long. He wanted to do more, whether it be face-slapping or just calling everyone he wanted out. He needed a character that was similar to who he really was, because then, he wouldn't be retrained by anything.
A knock from the door of Andy's apartment made him look up in surprise. He was sure that he shouldn't be getting any visitor, after all, only Sam knew his address.
Climbing out of his bed, Andy fixed his facial expression, putting back the emotionless cold face on and the harsh glance back in his eyes. Grabbing a white suit hanging from the clothes rack, he put it on his body. Andy didn't wear clothes to sleep, merely an underwear, after all, he loved to show off his body. Plus, going commando was fun, and it could just be him, but he liked the feeling of his skin touching the blanket.
Opening up the door, Andy saw a smiling Louis, and a slightly blushing Sam.
"Hi, Andy, mind if I come in?" Louis tightly gripped onto Sam's hand, not letting go, as if he was loudly proclaiming his love to the whole world. He had a silly smile on, and there were actual hearts within his eyes. The way he looked at Andy was like looking at a father-in-law, who he was going to be asking for his daughter or son's hand in marriage.
"Hello, Mister Jules," Sam tried to take his hand out of Louis' hand, but no matter what he did, it was as if his hand had been superglued together with Louis', not to mention, even he could tell that he was blushing.
Andy took one harsh look at the two, deep inside, feeling quite happy. Sam had found a special someone, now he could rest at peace. Louis would be a great pair, even though he may seem silly and foolish, he was protective of his loved ones.
"Come in," Andy said, while opening the door up for them, revealing a lavish and beautiful room.
Louis walked in as if the house was his own while Sam twitched as he walked in, obviously, both of their emotions were that of nervousness, but Louis hid it pretty well.
As Louis sat in the sofa, he held onto Sam's hand, putting it on top on his lap, before sending a reassuring smile back to Sam, his eyes full of warmth.
As Andy watched, he struggled to hide the twitch on his lips. Dear heavens, he did not want to watch a show while being fed plenty of dog food. Please, may these two people in front of him not feed anymore dog food to him or else he might get too full and explode.
Walking and sitting right in front of the two, Andy lifted his frosty eyes to look at Louis, asking, "What?"
Louis didn't take any offense, he was use to this. Clearing his throat and coughing into his hand, he said, "Andy, Sam has finally agreed to my proposal and we are now finally in a relationship. As Sam has no parents, and you are the closest to him, I wanted to ask for your approval in our relationship."
Andy looked at Louis, as if he was silently speaking with his eyes. With his eyes directed at Louis, Louis couldn't help but straighten his back unconsciously.
Sam also couldn't help but shy away. After all, this was all because of Louis. Keeping him up all night then coming to meet Andy like this, who wouldn't be nervous out of their mind? Not to mention, they were also pushing their relationship on Andy, his boss.
"Sam, are you happy?" First things first, Andy wanted to know if Sam was fully content with Louis, after all, Louis has been chasing after Sam for over two years now. From sending Sam flowers every morning to personally inviting him to dinner, Louis was really persistent.
"I-I am," Sam hid the blush that appeared on his normally cold face, his voice was even lighter, or should it be hoarse?
Andy didn't say anything after that, keeping silent as if he was thinking long and clear. His cold face was still cold, his eyes were still as frosty as ever, and Louis couldn't help but hold his breath in fear.
Sam could feel Louis tightening his hold on his hand, and also pressed back in assurance. He knew Andy well enough, Andy was just asking for the sake of him, and wasn't going to say no to their relationship. No matter how cold his face seemed, Andy was still a human being who also experienced emotions.
"Alright."
Louis widened his eyes, screaming out in excitement as he pulled Sam into a hug, before kissing him.
Right in front of Andy.
Andy directed his stare somewhere else, his heart heavy.
Was it raining dog food or what?
