Love Me, My Omega!

What in the world...

I feel like if I laugh or smile right now, he'd get really embarrassed and might take this photo album from me.

"Ah, no!" Justin yelled as he yanked the album from my hands. "I barely saw anything!" I said as I gave him a you're-so-unbelievable look. "Please, not that!" He said as he hurriedly opened the album and took the picture out.

"What's wrong with that picture? You looked so cute!" I said as I chuckled. "But I was naked, Tristan!" He frowned. "So what? It's not like I haven't seen you naked before," I said with a smug look on my face as I shrugged.

"You...!" He bit his lower lip, scrunched his brows, and glared at me as his face got flushed. "I really hate you," he grumbled as he put the picture back inside the album. "No, you don't. I know you love me," I said as I winked at him.

He raised his middle finger and threw the album gently on my lap.

"Fuck you, huh? You wanna do it?" I laughed. His face got even redder than it was earlier because of what I said and it only made me laugh more.

"Why are you suddenly being like this? We're at my parents' house for goodness' sake!" Justin whispered with gritting teeth. "But we're in your room," I said and pursed my lips.

"Papá and Dani would kill you if they heard you," he frowned.

Suddenly, the thought of them beating me up into a pulp popped into my head. It didn't even seem impossible. It looked very realistic and it scared me even more.

"H-Hey, I was just kidding," I said as I opened the album, looking for a way to change the subject.

I skipped his naked baby picture and moved onto the next one. I'll come back for it later, hehe.

The smile on my face never vanished as I looked at his childhood pictures one by one. He looked like a very sweet child.

There was this one picture where he was surrounded by chicks and he was crying his eyes out.

He must've been scared of chicks before, haha. That's really cute.

"Why are you grinning like that?" Justin pouted as he glared at me.

I moved my face closer to his. His face flushed because of what I did. I moved my lips next to his ear and whispered, "Because you're too cute then and now."

Someone suddenly knocked at the door and we both looked in its direction in sync. "Justin, Tristan, it's almost lunch. What would you like to eat?" M... Mom said from the other side of the door.

Justin looked at me and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'm telling you, my Mom is really great at cooking hotdogs. Just..." He looked down and smiled a little. "... hotdogs," he continued.

I chuckled and said, "Hey, how can you say something like that about your mom?" He looked up with raised eyebrows and said, "No, I'm serious! She can't cook anything else." I shook my head while smiling and said, "Okay, okay, I believe you."

"And just for your information, Dani will be the one cooking our lunch. Justin, sweetie, I can literally hear you saying that I can only cook hotdogs," Mom said and laughed. I looked at Justin with a what-are-you-gonna-do-now look and he just shrugged. "Yes, Mom, thank you and I'm sorry! I'm gonna ask Tristan again," he said a bit loudly. "So, what do you wanna eat?" He asked again. "Anything. Anything will do," I said and smiled at him.

After all, I'm in no place to ask for something. Plus... I feel kinda shy...

"You sure?" He said as he tilted his head a bit. I nodded as I said, "Yeah, I am."

"Anything, Mom! He said anything is fine," Justin replied to his mother's question. "Okay, I'll go tell your brother," she answered back. We then heard her footsteps as she walked away from the door.

*****

Our lunch was literally so amazing.

I didn't expect that Daniel would be that good at cooking. He's like a chef from a 5-star restaurant. Our snacks and dinner after that were also amazing.

It's already evening and I'm currently at the living room with Justin and his entire family, discussing where I should... sleep.

"No, Papá! I told you he gets cold easily. He can't sleep here in the living room. What if he catches a cold? What are you gonna do, then?" Justin said as he frowned at his father. "Okay, then where are you gonna let him sleep, then? In your room? I'm telling you I won't ever let that hap—"

"No, listen to me. He's gonna sleep in Dani's room."

Huh...?

In Daniel's room?

*****

"Hey, uh... Is this really where I'm gonna sleep?" I asked for the 4th time. "Yes," he answered briefly.

I stared at the ceiling blankly, questioning the world why I'm currently lying next to my boyfriend's brother on the same bed.

I wanted to lie next to Justin and cuddle with him as we fall asleep but I couldn't even do that because I'm... sleeping in Daniel's room.

I have no complaints about how his room looks like though. I mean no offense but his room looks unexpectedly clean and tidy. I really didn't expect this from someone who came out of his room half naked when he greeted a visitor.

Though... there's a particular scent lingering around here and I don't like it.

It smells like an omega.

"Daniel..." I called his name as I moved my head sideways to look at him. "For the fifth time, Tristan, this is where you're gonna sleep," he said firmly. "I wasn't gonna ask about that again though..." I mumbled.

"Oh, I'm sorry. What were you about to say?" He said as he moved his head sideways to face me too. "Say... There's this scent in your room. It smells like an omega. Did you bring one in here?" I asked as I blankly stared at him, barely making out his face because his room was dimly lit by the moonlight coming from his window.

"What?!" He yelled as he quickly sat up. I was surprised by his sudden yelling that I sat up as well. "What?" I asked, confused by his reaction. "No... Nothing. I was just surprised because you can still smell it until now. It's my... It's my ex's pheromones. We already broke up a month ago so I didn't think that omega's pheromones were still lingering in here," he said and slowly lied in bed again. I did the same and stared at the ceiling as I thought of what I was gonna say.

This is so awkward. I didn't know it was his ex's pheromones.

How do I even respond to something like that? It's probably uncomfortable for him to talk about his ex lover.

"Oh, and we only dated for a week. I broke up with my ex when I found out about that she's an omega," he said and chuckled.

"Why? What's wrong with being an omega?" I asked without thinking as my eyebrows scrunched.

There are a lot of omegas around me. Justin, Troy, Daryl, my mother, my other cousins... And honestly, I didn't like how people tend to avoid being involved with omegas and how they act as if omegas were some kind of a disease carrying creatures.

"I... I can't allow myself to be involved with omegas," he said with an emotionless voice.

Ah... I knew it.

He, himself, has a brother whose second gender is an omega and he thinks like that?

"I know I'm not capable of taking care of an omega. When... When omegas are in heat, only alphas can satisfy them. There's no way a beta like me can be with an omega. I... I don't deserve to be omega's lover."

My eyes widened with his answer.

As he said those words, his voice cracked as if he was about to cry.

I looked at him and saw that he was resting his arm on top of his eyes as if he's covering them so no one could see them.

Ah... I see.

I guess he had a bad experience with an omega before.

"That's why... That's why I'm really thankful that my brother has you. I always pushed him to date alphas. I even forced Lucas to set up a blind date for Justin if ever he hasn't found an alpha yet," he said and chuckled.

He removed his arm from his eyes and moved his head sideways, facing me. His face was partially illuminated by the moonlight, making his eyes look like they were sparkling.

"Please take care of Justin. He's very important to me and I don't want him to get hurt. I trust that you won't do anything to hurt him. Don't break that trust, hmm?" He said as he smiled.

His eyes showed me how much he loves Justin.

But of course, even without him telling me what to do...

"I won't do anything that could ever hurt him. I only want the best for him and I'd give everything I have just to make him happy. That's how much I love Justin."
