Running past Mo Chendong and Laura with tears in his eyes and not to mention soaking wet, Fyre went straight to his(?) room and to the bathroom. He quickly went to the shower room and continued to sob. It's not that he was against his lover's advances, but he doesn't want to do it in such an open space. He was terrified! The sunset was already beginning to rise and the employees of the resort would have seen them. Tian Zi may not care about being seen but he does so couldn't help but become upset being forced like that.
Turning the faucet on, he dunked his head into the water and tried to calm himself. He knew the Alpha didn't mean it and he could tell how much he cared for him, but it's not like he would just go on with whatever he's thinking especially when he hated it.
"Stupid Zi~" Fyre mumbled between his sniffles. Meanwhile, following him into the villa, Chendong and Laura quickly blocked Tian Zi with a displeased expression.
"Mother, Father, let me through. I have to talk to Fyre," Tian Zi said with urgency as he tried to pass through the couple which he successfully did but as he rushed away, a couple of nerves popped inside Laura's head and yelled.
"Mo Tian Zi! Today is your birthday but that doesn't mean you can bully your fiance," she yelled which rang across the villa that Ian and Hanlu who were already awake and planning to have their morning walk were stunned. It goes without saying, it was the same at Daniel and Laotian's room that the couple had to briefly halt whatever morning routine they are doing. As for Tian Zi, he just ignored his parents and went straight to Fyre's room. Of course, he's well aware of his mother's words and that's exactly the reason why he was rushing towards Fyre.
Finally reaching the Omega's front door, Tian Zi sighed briefly before he knocked and later opened the door. As the doorknob twisted open, he felt relieved it wasn't locked but he instantly felt disappointed when the Omega wasn't there as he called him. Tian Zi then proceeded to the bathroom door, believing his lover was inside still crying.
"Fyre, please talk to me..." Tian Zi said, begging as he knocked on the bathroom door but receiving no reply, he frustratedly sighed. "I promise I won't do it again. I made a mistake and I shouldn't have forced you like that. You can punish me whatever you want, just please talk to me," Tian Zi said again but once again, there was no reply. Tian Zi was becoming more frustrated being ignored like this.
"I'll open the door if you won't talk to me. I don't want us fighting like this anymore and I'm sorry, I regret what I did back there," Tian Zi continued and as expected there was no reply. Meanwhile, in the shower, Fyre continued to sob while he pouted. He knew he walked out without saying anything but he can't believe the Alpha wasn't even going after him to beg for forgiveness. It wasn't like he wasn't going to forgive him.
"Stupid! Stupid Zi~ Are you not even going to go after me?!" Fyre whined. He didn't close the door so if the Alpha was sincere with his apologies then he should have gone after him.
"I don't care if today's your birthday, I'm never talking to you again!" Fyre yelled in frustration but as soon as he finished, the door to the bathroom busted open and a panting Alpha came in with a surprise expression. Fyre abruptly turned around but as soon as his eyes laid on his lover, he frowned in annoyance before he turned around as he had already decided to not talk to him.
'Hmp! If you were going to go after me then you should have done it sooner!' Fyre thought, ignoring the fact that Tian Zi was now standing beside him and just looked at him still catching on his breath.
"You'll never finish if you keep your clothes on," Tian Zi mentioned as he couldn't help his heart from melting. Earlier, he was positive he was at the Omega's room but now seeing him running to his room instead, he couldn't help but smile a little. Even though the Omega was still not replying to him, this time he didn't mind and instead, he just came into the shower and hugged Fyre from the side.
"I'm sorry. I know I said I wasn't going to hurt you but this time, let me promise to you again... I would never do something that you would hate ever again. It was my mistake and I shouldn't have forced you like that. I should have known my limitations and I should have asked your consent," Tian Zi conveyed. He already learned his lessons. Fyre wasn't a pushover and he would definitely run away if he couldn't put up with things he didn't like. Obviously, Tian Zi doesn't want that and so he would never do it again. He didn't even know why he did such a thing. He was out of his mind.
Simultaneously, listening to him, even though he didn't plan to talk, Fyre wasn't able to hold back his tears. He started sobbing again until eventually voiced out his complaints.
"Stupid Zi! If you were r-running after me, y-you should have done it s-sooner~" Fyre whined between his sobs, holding onto his lover's arms to which Tian Zi only nod in agreement thinking that the Omega purposely went to his room but they will both find out soon that this was a complete error from Fyre's side. He never meant to go to the Alpha's room instead of his, unconsciously did it at the heat of the moment.

"So were an Omega," Paul expressed towards Maverick after putting his coffee down. Six days had passed since the incident where something happened between the two of them and he was well aware that the Omega wanted to forget about it but as someone like him who's an accountable individual, he couldn't just forget about it without having a talk. In the first place, this was also his mistake for giving in into the temptation and deliberately took advantage of the Omega at his lowest point.
"Apparently," Maverick replied awkwardly. He wanted to avoid the Alpha because he was feeling guilty of his actions. Although Paul thought he was the one at fault, he thought otherwise because it was him who seduced the Alpha. Paul didn't even know he was an Omega and the whole time was driven by his Alpha instincts.
"Hmm... well, I know you said let's forget about it but to tell you honestly I just can't. Let me do something for you, I know this is me being selfish but my conscience simply won't let me go," Paul sighed, his fingers tightened against each other. In his whole life, he only slept with Daniella and one stranger he met in UK when he was heartbroken, he regretted that day and promised he would never use someone again just to relieve himself of his pain but now that it has happened again and not to mention with someone who he knew, he would never settle down without doing something.
Meanwhile listening to the Alpha, Maverick didn't say anything and he just looked at him. In his mind, he could see how stubborn Paul was that if he said he didn't need or want anything, he would definitely continue to pester him. That's just how he was ever since he was young and had gotten close to Daniella. Paul is a nice guy. In fact, he was too nice that he was taken advantage of by his younger cousin. He was deceived and easily led on. Paul is now a broken man but not a lot has changed since he left.
"Fine. I believe you would insist if I said I didn't want anything," Maverick sighed. Ironically, both of them got rejected by the people they opened their hearts to so Maverick thought it wouldn't be too bad to support each other as friends. Maybe hang out and heal. Well, he had no trouble healing himself since he's used to be alone even though he had his brothers but it's not too bad to be with someone he can relate to.
"That's right. I'll probably get so annoying at some point," Paul chuckled, relieved that the Omega agreed.
"Is there something that you want? As long as it's in my capability I'll try and get the request done." Paul asked. He is unaware of the current situations of the Sullens so he wasn't really sure if Maverick Sullen was missing something. After all, their family was prominent longer than the Hymlyn's. If it's power and influence that the Omega wants, then he might not be able to help too much but he would try his best still.
"It's just simple really..." Maverick giggled softly.
"What is it?" Paul asked curiously, although he didn't think it was that simple.
"Take me on a friendly date sometimes," Maverick replied with a smile. He never had someone who took him on a date and it's natural to want to experience it sometimes. In the first place, he never dreamed he would be free like this before. He's happy but with his situation right now, his heart couldn't stop feeling heavy despite the freedom granted to him.
"A date?" Paul repeated in surprise as he doubted if it was really that simple. He didn't mind taking Maverick into friendly dates but he wondered if it would be enough.
"Yeah. I'm heartbroken but I want to be happy and forget about everything. Of course, I could go on my own but you insisted you want to do something for me so I'm asking you this instead. You don't have to talk to me or comfort me, I really just want to go somewhere and unwind." Maverick explained with a gentle smile on his lips and for some reason, that smile reminded Paul of Daniel. Maybe it was because they were cousins that he was feeling this way but he couldn't help but soften his heart.
"Okay. If that's what you want, I'll take you anywhere you want."
