Assuming the desire

How would it be possible to differentiate the dream from reality?

For Theodore, it was impossible.

Even if he blinked several times, or if he rested his hands on Gabriel's shoulders to push him, everything seemed too surreal to be reality. It had to be a dream. Because there was no reason for Gabriel to kiss him.

Standing still without being able to match or escape, Theodore had kept his eyes open catatonic on the alpha in front of him. When the kiss was over and turns the long dark eyelashes moving in a blink, the omega will lose the words on its head except for one.

― Gabriel...

Whispering hoarse that name, he had noticed a movement in his eyes as if he had regained his former lost sanity. The alpha moistened his lips with the tip of his tongue looking nervous, yet he did not distance himself from the blonde omega, keeping it stuck against the wall.

— Sorry, Theodore... I don't know what's gotten into me. ― The alpha did not have the courage to face the blonde, his short nails scratched the wall before his confusion ― I just needed...

Gabriel's words were completely incomprehensible, yet the omega struggled to understand it. His hands were resting on his shoulders, still being able to feel the accelerated beats of the alpha. What was he supposed to do when noticed your crush so nervous like that?

Should it not be concrete proof that it was real? What had Gabriel's lips felt once again?

― Was it because of my smell? ― Questioned the omega, receiving for the first time the dark look of Gabriel.

― No... I didn't really smell you. I just needed to get you out of that place.

― Why?

Theodore was surprised at how low his own voice sounded. They were both hidden near an access door to the employees, in a dimly lit corridor that around the corner had the busy dressing room. How not to feel that they were sharing some secret?

And although they were hidden, Gabriel still stood in front of Theodore, his arms preventing his escape. As if the body leaned close enough to feel his hot breath hit his face.

It was a real miracle that he was still standing, because his legs looked like two jellies.

― Why did you want to get me out of the gym?

He saw Gabriel swallow hard, going down his eyes to some other point of his face to then return to support the clear pearls.

― Because I... because I can't stand seeing the captain around you.

Strutting, Theodore did his best not to turn those words into beautiful illusions. Now, he would love to imagine that Gabriel would be jealous of him with his best friend. It would be a clear sign that the alpha liked him. However Theodore did not want to delude himself more than he had already done.

Because he had now tasted Gabriel's flavour. And that would make him an addict thrown into the deep end in need of a touch that would never be yours.

— This does not make any sense. ― Whispered suddenly, noticing the arched eyebrows of the other. ― He is my best friend and you... Are my friend too.

― Is that how you see me, Theodore? Like your friend?

― Should there be anything else?

— We stayed, Theodore. ― Gabriel responded promptly, thickening his voice. A shiver of excitement ran through Theodore's body, causing him to swallow hard in an attempt not to falter.

― I just helped you, you don't have to take that seriously.

― That day when we were late and it was raining... If the captain hadn't come, would you have kissed me?

Theodore's body trembled in surprise as he remembered that sweet moment. How could he forget? He had been wondering for days how it would have been the ideal moment for a kiss to be given. A romantic melody and the rain falling outside. The perfect setting for the perfect memory.

If Gabriel had taken the initiative to kiss him, Theodore would certainly not complain. He would accept it on your lips taking the chance to convey a portion of your overflowing feelings. He had kept them in his chest for three months since they first talked. And all that was happening was that love increasing exponentially.

— Would not have. ― He had finally responded, feeling the twinge in his chest when that beautiful face looked sad ― I would never dare kiss you, Gabriel.

― All right, I wouldn't have the courage... But you wanted? I mean, did you want to kiss me?

The conversation took a chaotic turn for Theodore. Why did he want to know his wishes? They were too shameful...

What would happen if he knew he wanted your kisses, your touches? Your voice whispering exactly that way. His great hands holding him tightly as if he feared his escape. He wanted so many things that his fantasies just danced beautifully in his dreams.

A blush rose in his face uncontrollably. Theodore averted his gaze squeezing the shirt tank player trying to find a way out. His sweet scent had begun to exhale to that alpha, who was deeply aspiring by closing his eyes momentarily. Keeping his voice thick and hoarse, in a whisper delivered only to that blonde omega, pressed him a little more.

— Tell me Theodore. ― Impatient, Gabriel held Theodore's chin forcing him to look at him. ― When Milles said you were in love with me, was it true?

Forming a knot in his throat and losing confidence in his voice, Theodore only agreed with his head. The fingers that touched his chin opened by strumming the jaw of the omega, until they flattened in the neck screwing their ends in blonde hair.

― Then do you feel the same as me? This insane and burning desire...

Voices through the dressing room corridor increased by silencing the alpha. Fearing to be discovered in his little hiding place, Gabriel leans his chest to Theodore's wrapping him with his scent. The blonde had lowered his head trying to listen to the voices of the participants in the championship, assuming to diminish when entering the locker room.

Slowly lifting his head again, he realized how close they were. His flattened hands slid over Gabriel's chest, continuing to feel his racing heart. Under his fingertips he perceived the firmness and definition of his muscles, causing more flushes on his cheeks.

He had seen Gabriel shirtless, and dreamed of that vision to the point of drooling. But feeling was something else, they aroused other sensations. And when he was unconsciously strumming the sides of Gabriel's body, being about to let his arms fall in surrender, his eyes did not deviate from the beauty of that higher alpha.

He could see himself reflected in those darkened eyes. The red and thin lips seemed to invite him to an intimate touch.

Blinking a few times trying to maintain consciousness and control of his own instincts, Theodore bit his lower lip breathing heavily.

Theodore wanted to kiss him.

By heaven, he needed that.

His smell intensified as need and desire grew within his chest. The fingers held the alpha's blouse so tightly that it sounded like a silent request.

Then the very moment that the smell of that omega was about to denounce its hiding place, the voices increased in the corridors once again. Gabriel had lowered his head to the omega's ear, where he could whisper to him:

― If this keeps up, they'll find us.

It didn't help, not at all, that warning because Theodore had become even more nervous. What was that voice? Why was he talking like that? Was it some kind of prank? The blood pulsed inside his body in response to that alpha-worthy voice.

Surprisingly, the dark one had not gone away. It had passed the tip of its nose through the target neck of the omega, inhaling its natural smell causing chills wherever it went. Theodore sighed low with that soft touch, closing his eyes in his last attempt to control himself.

Yet his body denounced the beginning of his excitement. Gabriel had ceased to lean on the wall to hold Theodore's waist and completely envelop him when they finally joined their lips.

Unlike the other times the desire was the main actor of that movement. Gabriel nibbled the thin lips of Theodore, sucking them to leave them swollen and moist. It provoked him so that the drop of reason had vanished allowing the omega the chance to reciprocate the kiss.

Theodore's arms snaked around the alpha's waist, and his hands hugged his back. Surrendering to his desire, he had half-opened his lips the instant he felt his hot, wet tongue make an audacious request.

Their tongues fought fierce battles, sighs and groans were muffled by the lips that embraced thirsty. The two boys squeezed their bodies together, yearning for as much contact as they could have. They felt in their hands the temperature rise insanely.

Needing air, the kiss had to be finished with wet and long saddles. Leaning their foreheads without daring to open their eyes, Theodore tried to seek air and reason for the mess he found in him.

Gabriel's thumb caressed his cheeks, keeping the warm touch on him. Theodore had raised his fingers by the arm of the alpha until he reached his hand and stopped there, as if proving the reality of that explosive situation.

His face still felt the warmth of his breath. He was still close, Gabriel had not dared to move away. He even brushed the tip of his nose in an Eskimo kiss, which resulted in a broad smile of the blonde omega.

Against his chest he could feel Gabriel's body gasp and accelerate the beats. It pulsed equally to his sharing the sensations.

Right... it was real.

He was staying with Gabriel.

Lifting his face looking for him silently, he felt the pressure on his lips in a lengthy seal. The omega had even dared to suck Gabriel's lower lip, nibbling it gently and pulling it between teeth to release it in an ordeal.

― That's much better than anything I fantasized about. ― Admitted it out loud, making the other laugh.

Gabriel had passed the tip of the index finger over the false reamer, looking closely at Theodore's ear. Opening his eyes with the silence of the greatest, the omega realized the attention that his earrings had gained from the alpha.

A shiver had passed through his neck as Gabriel's lips went to the cartilage nibbling him with his mouth. Those touches were becoming increasingly intense and pleasurable, somewhat dangerous for an omega boy.

― I give up ― He hear the alpha whisper in his ear, making his body tremble again ― I can't resist the two of us.

Slowly the two boys exchanged glances without allowing the distance to separate them. He would have imagined so many things with Gabriel, about what would be the moment when they would declare themselves to each other or what would be the passionate kiss.

Nothing compared to that moment.

Taking a deep breath, the omega flattens his hands on Gabriel's arms to push him slightly. With the distance, he had finally regained his reason by overcoming his insane desires. Even if he wanted to stay there longer, satiating every fantasy he had with Gabriel.

― We have to go back to the gym, or they'll miss us.

The Alpha had taken a deep breath and agreed with the head, ending their closeness. Both confused and ashamed without knowing how to act in front of the other, but certainly aware of what had happened there.

Theodore had been unable to face the alpha. He needed a few more moments to pull himself together, even though he blamed himself for putting an end to that little secret. When he turned to Gabriel, he realized that it was no longer there.

Sniffing the air, he smelled it indicating that he went to the dressing room. Now that he was alone, Theodore leaned his head against the wall closing his eyes scratching the back of his head.

― Act naturally Theodore.... Naturally.
