Chapter 33

"Are you alright?" The person in front of Yuri asked as he bent his knees and knelt on the ground. "You seem to be in heat. Did something happen to you? It's too early for you to have your first heat, Yuri," he continued.

"I'm... I think I'm alright, July," Yuri responded with a shaky voice. "Theodore is in a rut. Please... Haaa..." The omega felt his chest tighten. "Please help him... He's over there," he continued as he looked in the direction where Theodore was and pointed it.

July's eyebrows twitched upon seeing how Yuri was worrying about someone else, when he, himself, was in danger just a few seconds ago.

'I understand that he's worrying about Theodore because he also needs help, but Yuri doesn't look like he's prioritizing his own safety. I'm not sure whether being this selfless is a good thing or not...' July thought as he let out a soft sigh.

"I'll call Paris and ask him to help Theo. Just a second," July said and smiled a little as he looked at Yuri. He quickly took his phone from his pocket and hurriedly dialed his brother's number.

"Yeah, it's me. Could you come and get Theodore? He's in a rut. Yeah. He's at the back of the new building. Yeah, that one. Do hurry because I'm gonna help Yuri out. I can't help both of them at the same time," July said over the phone.

Yuri just listened to him speak as he panted on the ground.

'Paris... Thank goodness, he's gonna come and help Theodore...' Yuri thought as he sense of relief came flooding into him.

July then turned around to look at Yuri and said, "Let's go to the infirmary. We'll ask for suppressants and have you go back home. Is that okay with you?" Yuri nodded as a response to what July said, and so July turned around and bent his knees.

"I'll carry you on my back, Yuri," he said as he waited for Yuri to climb up to his back.

The omega slowly crawled up to him and weakly wrapped his arms around July's neck. After making sure that Yuri's position is already fine, July stood up and proceeded to walk to the building where the clinic was.

"Was it Theodore that triggered your heat? It's okay if you don't answer," July asked as he walked.

'It's strange... He doesn't seem like the July I know,' Yuri thought as he rested his head on July's shoulder.

"I think so..." He responded to his question. "Hmm... You had your heat earlier than most omegas because of him, so you have to be really careful from now on, okay?" July said in a gentle manner.

"Mhm..." Yuri responded weakly. "Thank you," he continued as he closed his eyes to rest for a while as he felt his body turning hotter and hotter.

Before Yuri even knew it, they were already at the school infirmary. The nurse hurriedly ran towards them as soon as he saw July carrying Yuri on his back.

"What happened to him?" The nurse worriedly asked as he guided them to a hospital bed. "He's in a heat. It seems like he also has a fever," July responded as he gently placed Yuri on the bed.

"It must have been because his body was shocked by the sudden changes. Omegas only feel hot, but they're not actually hot on the surface," the nurse said as he took an ear thermometer from the drawer of the table. He then walked towards Yuri and put it inside his ear to measure his temperature.

"But him..." the nurse touched Yuri's forehead and felt the palm of his hand burning upon touching his skin. "He's really hot," he continued.

"38°C. His fever is really high," the nurse said after seeing Yuri's temperature. "On top of being in heat, he also has a fever. I'll call an ambulance since it's better that he gets taken care of at a hospital. I'll just inject him a suppressant for now since it's more effective than tablet and pill suppressants," he continued.

"Also, I think you should take one as well. It seems like you're starting to get affected by his pheromones," the nurse said as he looked at July.

Breathing heavily with a flushed face, it was obvious that no matter how strong July tried to act, he was still affected by Yuri's pheromones.

'I'm always careful. I always take suppressants even if I'm not in a rut just so I could control myself around omegas. I guess being around an omega who just had his first heat is really affecting me a lot more than I expected,' July thought.

"I will do that, Nurse. Thank you," July smiled. The nurse then nodded with a little smile and walked towards the cabinet. He then looked at some of the suppressants and after deciding which suppressant July was gonna take, he headed towards him and handed it to him.

"There are cups near the water dispenser. Please help yourself. I have to take care of him first," the nurse said as he looked in the direction of the dispenser. "Thank you," July said and walked towards the water dispenser.

"Aside from feeling hot, do you feel anything else?" The nurse asked as he positioned the syringe on Yuri's arm.

"I... I'm worried about... haaa..." Yuri panted as he felt the syringe pierce into his arm. "... him," he continued.

'I was asking about himself, but it seems lile he's worrying about someone else. What a good boy,' the nurse thought as he smiled a little.

"Oh, please don't worry. July has already taken a suppressant. He'll be fine after a few minutes if he wasn't that affected by your heat," the nurse said while smiling to reassure him that July is fine.

"Not him..." Yuri said and panted as a tear fell from his eye. "I left him behind... He's probably having a harder time than me..." he continued.

'There was someone else?' The nurse thought as he tried not to show the shock on his face.

"May ask who he is?" The nurse asked as he gently placed a cotton on his arm and put a paper tape on top of it.

"Theodore..." Yuri responded.

"Please help Theodore..."
