23 22 : Cozy

Haru had been awake for a while now. He was in Akihito's room. The Alpha wasn't there with him but he could hear noises coming from the kitchen.

Haru suddenly sat up. His heart was beating like crazy. Fire rose to his cheeks as he remembered the kiss.

He giggled, feeling butterflies in his stomach. He never thought he could feel like this again. He touched his lips and closed his eyes as he replayed their moment. He giggled again and started kicking the blanket.

" - Someone is happy here. "

Haru's heart skipped a beat and he felt off the bed, landing in the thick woolen rug that decorated the floor.

Akihito crouched down in front of the embarrassed omega. Haru was lying down, his face covered by his small hands.

The Alpha chuckled as he watched Haru grow redder and redder as the seconds passed.

" - I want a hug. " he said then.

He would have preferred to ask but now… he really wanted to feel the omega in his arms.

Haru smiled but he didn't take his hands off his face.

" - If you give me a hug, I'll make you a milkshake." Akihito said with a mischievous smile.

Haru peeked between his fingers. Akihito chuckled and helped the Omega to sit up.

" - So milkshake is the winner." he laughed.

Haru was blushing. He was as red as a tomato. Before the Alpha could get up, Haru crawled over to him and snuggled into his chest. Akihito tenderly wrapped his strong arms around the boy and kissed the top of his head.

" - Did you sleep well ?" he asked in a soft voice while rocking them both slowly.

Haru moved closer and tightened his arms around the Alpha. Then he nodded.

" - Good. I was afraid you were having another nightmare."

Haru looked up to see the alpha's deep blue eyes fixed on him.

Akihito was handsome. Haru knew that but… today, he was really looking at him. The alpha was sexy. Haru felt his cheeks heat up.

The man had deeply sensible eyes that seemed cold but somehow warm at the same time. His lips weren't too thin and not too full. They looked sweet and appetizing to Haru.

The omega swallowed his own thoughts. He had never liked any kind of intimate act. He was afraid of it. The pain, the discomfort, the heat… he hated it all. Even when he was in love with Silas, the idea of ​​doing this with the man had never crossed his mind. At one point he was excited to spend his heat for the first time with Silas, but it never happened and the rest was traumatic for him.

Yesterday, Akihito had kissed him as if he was fragile, precious and loved. Apart from his friends from the SS club, no one had ever treated Haru like this. The kiss was too good and he wanted to try again. But, for now, he was just happy to be able to touch Akihito. Haru thought he could never feel safe in this life but… Akihito proved him wrong.

"Let's go eat before you explode from blushing." Akihito joked after a while.

He had studied the omega's expressions during the time he was deep in thought. Haru was really enjoying his time with him and that made the alpha happy. Nevertheless, Akihito knew he had to be careful. Haru might be all smiles today, but he could also snap at any moment. So he wanted to preserve the omega's smile for as long as possible.

They headed to the living room. Since they started living here, they had never eaten on the dining table. Akihito would always put the TV on and they would eat on the small coffee table while sitting on the floor.

Because the weather was getting colder, Akihito bought a kotatsu. His grandfather had one when he was younger so he bought one recently for Haru.

Haru really liked dinner time. He could watch TV without feeling guilty. Akihito told him to watch whenever he wanted, but he still couldn't do those things without permission. And sometimes he was even afraid to ask.

They started to eat while watching a show about gardens and bees. Akihito knew what was holding the Omega's attention. Haru was very fond of educational programs. He loved to learn and was always amazed at the new things he learned. Last night they had watched a show about stars and constellations and the day before it was a movie about global pollution.

Akihito made a mental note to buy books for Haru.

When they finished their meal, Akihito made Haru's milkshake while the Omega was doing the dishes.

Then they cuddled on the sofa. Haru was between Akihito's legs sipping his milkshake and the Alpha was reading a report for work.

Akihito was stroking Haru's head, which made the Omega sleepy. Eventually, he dozed off.

When Haru woke up again, he was on the bed. Akihito was next to him, covering his small body with an arm.

Haru turned to look at the Alpha. He touched his nose and traced the line of his sharp jaw. When he stroked his lips, Akihito opened his mouth and gently bit Haru's finger.

Haru shivered from the heat inside the Alpha's mouth. He blushed when Akihito kissed the back of his hand and approached him.

" - Open your mouth " cooed the alpha in his hoarse and sexy voice.

Haru obeyed and closed his eyes as the alpha's tongue met his in his mouth. They kissed for a moment and then snuggled into each other arms.

Haru's finger started drawing on Akihito's back. The Alpha shivered deliciously at the light touch.

" Are we together now? " Haru asked.

" - I want to... But I don't want to pressure you. We can take it slow. " He answered his head on top of the omega's.

" You really okay with me ? I am broken. Weird. Mute. " Haru wrote as he was bitting his lower lip.

Akihito climbed on top of the Omega. He kissed his forehead and said :

" - It's impossible for me if it's not you."

" What about your fated pair ?" Haru asked worried.

" - At this point, is it really important ? " The alpha said. " I don't need my fated pair... I need you and only you. " he whispered in the omega's ear.

Haru smiled. That smile made Akihito blush. He moaned as he buried his head on the Omega's sensitive neck, earning him a soft chuckle from the boy.

Akihito's manhood was throbbing in his pajama bottoms. He wanted to hold his new lover in his arms. Haru was so cute. Even his inner Alpha was now under Haru's spell. He wanted to protect him and… yeah… make love to him.

Akihito brought the tiny omega back to his arms and he sighed:

" - I like it when you smile but don't do it too much. I could jump on you one day. "

Haru chuckled then nodded. Akihito placed a kiss on Haru's cheek. He intertwined their fingers together and then they both left for dreamland.
