The most popular boy in school and Mika's least favorite person. He wasn't exactly sure how he ended up in this situation with Yuuichirou, but there he was, pinned against the wall by the raven haired boy with his shirt off, hair disheveled, and zipper undone with Yuuichirou's hand down his pants. Don't get Mika wrong. He was enjoying himself, maybe even a little too much for his liking. Mika was just trying to comprehend what was happening. It was no surprise that Yuuichirou was an alpha. Just look at the guy. All muscles, rough, sexy appearance with a black tongue piercing, and he knew how to protect himself and could easily protect his omega, but Yuuichirou didn't have omega, and that's where he came in.  Mika was surprised by the fact that he was indeed an omega. He wasn't an idiot and could easily understand these changes happening to his body. He knew in an instant when his body became hot and sticky. Yeah, Mika wasn't an idiot, but he was stupid enough to be one of those people that Yuuichirou fucks. That's part of the reason why Mika hates him so much. Making love should be something cherished and only done with that special person. Now, that doesn't mean Mika was going to have a white wedding, but maybe wait a little before he gets to know his mate in the sheets, but he threw all those morals and values away once his first heat came, and Yuuichirou didn't waste any time pulling him out of the classroom.  Mika doesn't understand why he went to an alpha/beta/omega school. It was probably because he thought he could find a mate, and he didn't think he was an omega, but he should have seen it coming. There was stereotypical signs like his smaller penis and small build. He was a good foot shorter than Yuuichirou and he didn't like it. He felt inferior, like he was getting taken advantage of, and he was. Mika was still trying comprehend that Yuuichirou was going to fuck him. If he was in the right state of mind, he would be saying no to this, but his heat was talking for him and he couldn't control his needs.  Another thing Mika was still trying to comprehend was that he was, indeed, going to lose his virginity in Yuuichirou’s "fuck closet". It was an old room filled with filing cabinets that the school doesn't use anymore because of a wonderful thing called technology. It was in the basement of the school with dim lights and a musky smell to hide their scents. Yuuichirou probably liked the dark so he didn't have to look at the people he was fucking and to be honest, Mika didn't want to see Yuuichirou either. He was a tool, but sadly, he was smart and that's another thing Mika hates about him. He's practically perfect at everything. Sports, school, and the teachers love him— he's perfect and it pisses Mika off, but he wasn't pissed right now. Mika was practically in heaven as Yuuichirou’s experienced hands glide across his skin, touching Mika in all the right places with just the right amount of pressure. It felt good. He felt good. DAMNIT he felt good.  Mika's breath hitched into a cute squeak as Yuuichirou gave a warm squeeze to his member. He then quickly brought a hand to his mouth— not out of embarrassment, but because he didn't want his least favorite person to see him in such a vulnerable state. And to Mika's displeasure, Yuuichirou chuckled— his sexy chuckle that all the girls and guys fawn over, and right now, Mika couldn't help but find it so damn nice, which was also dissatisfying. Mika was weak right now. His mind was clouded over with lust and what he'd usually find a major turn off, was a major turn on and Yuuichirou’s sexy, raspy laugh was all to satisfying to hear.  Yuuichirou rubbed Mika's slit with his thumb while smoothly jerking the blonde off, until he pulled his hand out of Mika's pants with a cocky smile on his lips. "Tell me what you want, Mika."  Mika took a deep inhale through his nose, then released through his mouth, an intense amount of anger forming in his chest. He's so damn irritating! He's doing this on purpose! He knows how Mika will react, he knows Mika needs to get fucked, and he knows he can't push him away! He hates him! Mika hates him! When Mika only glared at him, Yuuichirou lightly moved his hands up Mika's side, gently grazing his torso and causing Mika's skin to burn so much he wanted to claw it off.  Mika grit his teeth and turned his head to the side. "Fuck me..." He mumbled under his breath.  Yuuichirou smirked and placed a hand behind his ear, but luckily it was too dark to see. "Huh? What was that? I can't hear you, babe." Mika was grinding his teeth at this point, trying to stop the heated and angry words from slipping off his tongue.  Yuuichirou grabbed Mika's chin and tugged it so his eyes were looking into his own. He leaned forward, and his hot breath ghosted over his ear, causing Mika's shoulders shake. Yuu placed one hand on the omegas quivering hip, the other playing with Mika's blonde hair. "Hmm?" Yuuichirou asked again, licking up the shell of Mika's pale ear. "I can feel how damp your crotch is, Mika. Wouldn't want to leave you all alone like this, yeah?" Mika's blood was boiling, but he couldn't push the poor excuse of a human away. His body needed this, despite his brain telling him to run away from the horny alpha, he needed to feel relief.  Mika swallowed every last damn drop of pride he had and quickly grasped onto the front of Yuuichirou's black t-shirt. "Just hurry up and fuck me already!" He growled like a desperate animal, but Mika wasn't ashamed. He didn't have time to feel shameful as Yuuichirou slammed his lips into Mika's. It wasn't soft and caring like Mika thought his first kiss would be like. No, it was hot, thick, and way too aggressive for his liking. This is not how Mika wanted his first time having sex to be like at all, but none the less, it was happening and Mika wasn't pleased about it. He had to deal though.  On instinct, Mika wrapped his arms around Yuuichirou’s neck and pulled himself up to the alphas lips further. Yuuichirou groaned, lapping his tongue around Mika's mouth, feeling the back of his teeth, the little calluses on the inside of his cheeks, and most importantly, his tongue. Yuuichirou seemed to give an extra licking to his tongue as he flicked the omegas muscle with his tongue piercing and twirled it around like a piece of hard candy. Mika didn't mind and he hates himself for that. If his damn body was listening to him and pushed Yuuichirou away he could end this quickly, but Mika knew it wasn't that simple. Mika was thirsty. Thirsty for a big, thick cock and Yuuichirou’s happens to be the closest.  Mika groaned into Yuu's mouth, a definite hatred for this situation blooming even more in his mind. But one thing Mika didn't have to worry about was ending up as Yuuichirou's mate. He never marks the people he fucks, and he never lets them mark him. He didn't have to worry about this being a reoccurring thing. He can just hide in a big nest of blanks during his heat and ride it out with a vibrator.  Yuuichirou pulled away and quickly worked on Mika's pants and boxers. Once down, he hiked the omegas legs around his ass and pulled his bare cheeks up and onto his torso. Mika grunted, a new tone of hatred forming in his chest. "How dare you make me lose my virginity in an uncomfortable place like this." Mika spat, glaring at the raven haired boy. "You not only dragged me out of the classroom, but are making me do it in a closet full of all the other man and woman's scents you fucked? You're despicable." Despite Mika trying to sound threatening, Yuuichirou wasn't threatened. He looked more amused by the situation and that made Mika's blood boil. He wasn't taking this seriously. Losing your virginity is a big deal, but Yuuichirou looks nothing but entertained by the situation. How revolting.  "Come on, babe." Yuuichirou cooed as he brought one hand up to Mika's face and dragged a gentle finger across his cheek. Mika immediately turned his head away as he smacked the alphas hand. Yuuichirou blinked in shock at what Mika had done for a moment, but then his expression turned back to an amused one. "You know," Yuuichirou started while moving his hand back under Mika's bare ass. "I could have left you there for those wild alphas in class to fight over you. You're lucky I was there or you could have been bound to someone." "And is that such a bad thing?" Mika spat. "Yeah." He answered simply, a saddened look in his eyes. Mika thought it was a little strange to see anything but a cocky grin or smirk on Yuuichirou's face, but he didn't think too much about it. Yuuichirou then situated his hands between Mika's cheeks and rimmed his middle finger around his entrance. "We can be fuck buddies if you want, Mika. I can pleasure you during your heats and any other moments of weakness. Besides, love is just a game. Don't waste your time with it." Mika gaped at Yuuichirou. "A-a game?" He repeated. "You're such a-" His voice was cut off by the warm finger being pressed into his insides. Mika moaned, and his eyes rolled back as he took a long exhale.  Fuck that felt good. He hadn't even realized how thirsty he was for something inside of him until Yuuichirou's finger entered him. Mika leaned his forehead against Yuuichirou's shoulder, a soft chuckle escaping the raven haired boys lips. "You're so feisty but cute. Wouldn't mind bedding you in a more comfortable place."  Yuuichirou pulled his finger out just as quickly as it got there, and smirked at the panting blonde in his arms. Mika swallowed thickly, his pupils the size of saucers on his crystal blue irises. He grunted as Yuuichirou set him down on his feet, but he had to lean against the wall to keep his body from falling to the ground.  So irritating. He's just teasing him like the conniving motherfucker he is. What a tool. He's such an asshole, but he can't say no to his advancements. If anything’s crystal, it's the rock in his pants, the wetness between his thighs and the uncontrollable heat gnawing at all parts of his body, just aching for something cool to feel relief, but sadly, wherever Yuuichirou’s hands touched only made the heat more intense and condensed in that area.  Being an omega is a pain.  Yuuichirou picked up Mika's clothes off the ground and handed them over to the blondes shaky hands, but as soon as the clothes were placed on his palm, he threw the articles to the ground. "I don't want to leave! Let's just get this shit over with so I don't have to talk to you ever again!" "That's more like it." Yuuichirou smirked as he quickly pulled Mika onto his knee so his hips bent over his leg. Yuuichirou grinned at the beautiful sight of Mika's plump hole and buried two fingers in his ass. "See? You do want me."   "No." Mika quickly corrected. "I don't want you. My body does. So get that cocky thought out of your head." Yuuichirou ignored him by placing a third finger in his ass, twisting the three digits around and smiling fondly at the lewd noises coming from him.  Mika grunted in annoyance at how long this was taking. Sure, he guesses Yuuichirou is being sweet for making sure it doesn't hurt, but he's an omega. His body is meant to be fucked.  "Hurry up." Mika snapped, earning an amused smile from the alpha.  "Say 'Fuck me pretty please Yuu chan. I'm hungry for your fat cock.' and I'll think about picking up the pace. Oh, you have to be cute too." Mika just wants to pull his hair out! So annoying! He's so fucking cocky that he can't stand it! How do people deal with an asshole like him?! Why is he so popular?! It must be his looks... That's the only good quality about him. The only way to deal with this situation is to fight fire with fire. "Yuu chan?" Mika started, earning an amused glance from Yuuichirou. "Please fill me with your meaty, hard cock. It's all I can think about! It's driving me wild! Oh god, I've wanted you to fuck me for so long that I can't believe it's finally happening!" Yuuichirou looked at Mika in shock, and then burst out laughing, Mika completely confused by the reaction. He thought he'd get pissed, not hysterical. "Oh my god, Mika. I was right about you. You're the most entertaining of them all." Entertaining? Mika thought, as Yuuichirou continued. "You're not the blushing cute omega I'm used to. God you're so fun."  Yuuichirou stood up and quickly unzipped and pulled his boxers down a little. He didn't bother taking them off. Mika assumes it's too much of a hindrance to the alpha.  Mika slowly stood up as well and took a long gulp of Yuuichirou’s length. Well he sees where the rumors about Yuuichirou’s cock being almost a little too big comes from. The guy was large and thick; two things any guy would dream of, but it would be a bit painful for the omega or beta he's fucking.  Yuuichirou placed a hand on his hip, and jutted the bone out, causing his length to wiggle a little. Mika licked his lips on instinct, despite his brain telling him to hate the cock in front of him. "Like what you see?" Yuuichirou asked, earning a groan from Mika.  He hates this cocky bastard. "Can we just move on?" Mika asked impatiently.  Yuuichirou nodded with a smirk and grabbed Mika's shoulder and spun him around so his back was facing him. Once Mika was bent over with his hands on the wall, Yuuichirou rubbed his cock a few times before placing it at his entrance. Mika was fine doing it this way. He assumes Yuuichirou didn't want to look at him and Mika didn't want to look at Yuuichirou either.  Yuuichirou hesitated for a moment, Mika turning his head around and groaning out an impatient "Just do it already." After that, Yuuichirou didn't waste any time. He slammed his hips into the omega, and Mika cursed harshly into the air. Is he trying to tear his fucking asshole?! "You dick!" "What?" Yuuichirou asked innocently as he wrapped his hands around Mika's hips. "You said to do it." Mika grit his teeth so hard his mouth was going numb. "I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with an asshole like you!" Yuuichirou started moving his hips, earning cries from the blonde. "Awh, so this won't be a recurring thing? Too bad."  Mika didn't respond. He was too focused on what sex felt like. After he got over the intense amount of shock and pain of his asshole, it actually felt really, really good. He was getting stretched to his limit and the feeling of being full was all too amazing. He could practically feel Yuuichirou in his stomach and it felt good.  Mika cried out in a lewd voice, and Yuuichirou smirked from behind the blonde. He ran his two thumbs in a circular motion on the center of Mika's lower back, Mika almost baffled by Yuuichirou's advancements. What the fuck is he doing? Is he trying to calm him down? Mika didn't know, but he didn't like it. "Stop." He panted out, a drop of sweat running down his temple. "I don't want your pity. You're here to fuck me and that's all. Stop being sweet." Yuuichirou rolled his eyes, but nonetheless, he moved his hands back on Mika's hips and picked up his pace at the same time. Yuuichirou started panting along with Mika, the t shirt he's wearing becoming to hot for his heated skin. Yuuichirou took a deep inhale of the air, and practically melted. "You smell amazing." He breathed.  Mika paused, then moved his nose to his armpit to smell himself. He doesn't smell that great. Just the deodorant he was wearing, but now that Yuuichirou mentions it, there was a very distinctive smell coming from the alpha and it was divine. Mika now understands how people get lured to Yuuichirou just by his scent because man it was delicious. He could practically taste it on his tongue.  Yuuichirou didn't waste any time getting extremely aggressive as his nails dug into his skin and his pace picked up extraordinarily. Yuuichirou reached down and grasped Mika's erection in his palm and started to jerk Mika off. Mika felt close. He was squeezing his entrance around Yuu and by the heavy panting and Moans coming from his partner, he assumed Yuuichirou was close as well.  "Fuck." Yuuichirou grunted, planting another harsh thrust into Mika's hole. He then did another, then another, heavy curses coming from his lips at the same time. "Damnit." He cursed, squeezing Mika's hip tighter. "You feel so damn good, baby." "D-don't ah-! Don't call me baby." Mika meant to sound much more demanding, but it came out as more of a cry. He was close. So damn close and could feel something building up.  His back then arched as he squeezed his hole around Yuuichirou's length, his climax hitting him like a brick wall. His vision turned black as he cursed out into the air. He didn't feel anything after that, until, he felt his stomach getting filled up with something warm.  Mika's eyes shot open as he quickly turned around and grabbed Yuuichirou by the shoulders. Yuuichirou looked horrified. The look on his face sent Mika stumbling backwards. What just happened was real. He didn't imagine it. It actually happened.  Yuuichirou quickly pulled his pants back up, grabbed his bag and stormed out of the room, leaving Mika to stand there all alone, completely naked with Yuuichirou's jizz slowly pooling out of his asshole.  "Fuck." ===============================================================================    *13 weeks later* Mika paced around in his bathroom with his two hands placed at the belly of his stomach. He took deep breaths as he waited these long, terrifying five minutes. It's been over three months since his first heat and he should have started his second one and it terrified the shit out of him that he hadn't. Mika didn't want to think about what happened with Yuuichirou and neither did the other. After that day, they haven't even spoken once, but he could tell Yuuichirou was concerned. He would often glance over at him during class or Lacus or Rene told him that Yuuichirou was asking about him. His friends, of course, saw it as a good thing and thought Yuuichirou was interested in him, and he was, just not in the way they thought... Mika’s phone timer went off and he quickly pulled the piece of paper that was covering the test. He took a deep shaky breath at the two lines on the bar.  Positive.  ***** Human ***** Chapter Summary they talk and shit Chapter Notes ahhhh! thank you so so much for all the kudos, bookmarks, nice comments, and even if you just read it. please keep commenting because good feedback causes my drive to go up, so ill write the next chapter quicker. thats how i got this one done pretty quickly. OH and if youre expecting this to be a totally serious fic, then i suggest you dont read it because there will be lots of comedy. at least ill try lol See the end of the chapter for more notes He's screwed. Fucking screwed. Yuu wasn't exactly sure what happened when he had sex with Mika. There was just something about the omegas insides that he didn't want to pull his junk out of. Yuu can't place his finger on it, but Mika was so addicting that every other person he's had sex with since then felt not as nearly as warm and tight as Mika had. It felt like his dick was getting engulfed in a never ending whirlpool of pleasure and ecstasy. He felt dizzy and like he couldn't think straight. Mika was like a drug and he couldn't help but want to stay inside him as long as possible. And man what he'd give to pounce in that tight ass again, but Yuu knows Mika would never allow him to do that, and that's not even the real problem. Mika should have been absent from school by now. He's counted how long it's been since the...incident and Mika hasn't had his second heat yet. Heats were a seasonal thing and it's now January, so Mika should have had his winter heat.  But he hasn't... Yuu anxiously bit his lip and continued down the hallway and to his classroom. All the shy omegas were blushing as he walked past and the betas basically play hard to get so they play it cool and try not to get phased by him. Yuu gave them his classic sexy wink while biting his bottom lip. It makes all the girls horny and he can smell their scents releasing something a little more...sexual.  It was honestly a game to Yuu. Mika was on his list of people to fuck once he showed and he was obviously going to be an omega. There were multiple signs. For one, his height. He was small and extremely adorable, but that wasn't even what gave it away. Mika was probably the sweetest and most compassionate person he knew. He took care of his belongings like it was child. If his pencil dropped on the floor, he'd panic and quickly pick it up and wipe it clean with his shirt. He never abandoned anything either. No matter how warn or broken the object was, he kept it. He's had the same backpack since they started high school and Yuu could tell he used the same one in middle school too. And then there's the completely obvious reason which he learned their freshmen year. They were all told to bring in an item that was extremely important to them and it was to learn the differences between alphas, betas, and omegas. Depending on how you took care of that item, it showed the difference. Yuu was extremely possessive of his and wouldn’t let anyone touch it, and the way Mika took care of his screamed omega. He had a doll that was his when he was a child and he fed it fake food and wiped the dolls face off with a moist toilette afterwards. He rocked it to sleep like it was a real baby and to Yuu, it looked like it was with the way he showed love to that thing. He even cried when someone misplaced it. Mika really was a cutie and that's another reason why he was obviously an omega. He had soft features, beautiful sky blue eyes, and silky blonde hair. Mika honestly looks like an angel.  Yuu walked into his classroom and ignored all the intense glares from the other alphas. Yuu wasn't too popular with the other alphas because he takes all the omegas away. He did have his friend group that he didn't touch because they were already pared up. They keep telling him to find an omega to settle down with, but he'd never do that. Being bound to someone for the rest of your life is pain. Wouldn't you get tired of having sex with the same old person? Sounds boring to Yuu. He just needs a couple fuck buddies and he can live his life peacefully like that with no omega or beta to hold him back.  Yuu dropped his bag down on the floor and plopped down on his seat by the window. He got a kind hello from Yoichi, an omega who sat in front of him, and annoyed hello from Mitsuba, a beta who sat next to him. Their counter parts weren't there yet, so it was a peaceful morning. Him and Yoichi talked about whatever and he scolded Yuu about a project that was coming up that Yuu completely forgot about. Mitsuba stayed silent for the most part. She wasn't much of a morning person, so they tend to leave her alone during the early hours, but she'd chime in every so often.  Yuu was trying his best to stay focused on the homework he hadn't finished the previous night, but his eyes kept glancing over to the door. He was anticipating when a certain feisty, little omega came in, but he knew he wouldn't be there, since he could easily smell the omega before he even stepped foot in the room.  Shinoa, an alpha, eventually found her way to class and that's when their morning got much louder. She sat behind Mitsuba, and once she situated herself, she reached her arms around the sleeping betas sides and started groping her mate. It was an everyday occurrence, so it wasn't anything unexpected. Yuu just doesn't understand why Mitsuba doesn't make some sort of...defense? Then maybe she wouldn't get molested every day, but Yuu assumes Mitsuba actually kind of likes when Shinoa does that. Yuu does admit that sometimes he is a little envious of his friends who have mates, but he knows he shouldn't... Sometimes being someone's mate isn't just scary for the omega. Yuu's head quickly turned towards the door as the intoxicating scent of Mika enters his nose. Even when Mika's not in heat, he still smells divine. All the alphas want Mika for themselves, but Mika's too much of a mentally strong person to succumb to those dickheads. Mika was pretty much a living dream for any alpha. Well, he was for Yuu at least. The thing that Yuu likes most about Mika besides his asshole is his personality. Mika wasn't scared of him at all during his first heat, which was a complete surprise to Yuu. He's fucked a lot of omegas during their first heat and they weren't just terrified to have sex, but of Yuu, and these changes happening to their body. Mika took it so damn well and he honestly would have applauded him if he didn't split so fast. Yuu regrets what he did back then, but there's no going back. It already happened and Mika...he could be— Yuu slapped his arm and refocused his attention back to the door. Mika would be entering the room any moment now, and he couldn't help but anticipate it, and once he did, Mika immediately started stomping over to Yuu. Yuu knows he's fucked, but he couldn't help but find the little omega so damn adorable when he's angry.  Mika grabbed Yuu by the wrist and tugged on his arm. "Come with me."  Yuu immediately stood up. Maybe Mika's going into heat again and he needs to be fucked! God, Yuu hopes that's what Mika wants. That'd be like killing two birds with one stone. He'd get to fuck Mika and he's not— Yuu shook his head. He doesn't even want to think about it. "Sure." Yuu smirked as he followed Mika out of the room. Yuu was practically jumping up and down as they get closer and closer to the staircase that leads to the basement, but all his hopes and dreams got flushed down the toilet when they enter the bathroom. "This isn't my fuck closet, Mika. Or do you wanna try something kinky and ride me on the toilet seat?" Mika took a deep breath, then released through his nose as he pushed Yuu into the handicapped stall. "We need to talk." He stated sternly while crossing his arms over his chest.  "Yeah, we do." Yuu grinned, stepping in front of Mika and trailing his fingers up his side. "If you really wanna talk, babe, you shouldn't bring me in a secluded place like a bathroom." Mika kept a straight face as he glared up at Yuuichirou. He wasn't going to lose. He's keeping his position and not taking a step back. Yuuichirou wants him to succumb and feel intimidated, and Mika won't allow himself to be. "Look, I'm getting straight to the point." Mika uncrossed his arms and placed his hands on his belly, causing Yuu to freeze. Why are his hands on his stomach? That’s where- "There's baby in there. Your baby." "W-Wha-" "Its 13 weeks old and about 6.7 cm. It weighs about 23 grams and is fully formed." "Wait—" "Its organs and muscles have formed and is beginning to use them. It's also swallowing and has fingerprints. It's head is-" "MIKA!" Yuu yelled, holding one hand up. "Just wait one second. I-I need to process."  Yuu sat down on the toilet seat and placed his head in his hands, as he thought about what the fuck Mika just said. So he has a kid... Yuu never expected to be a parent ever, especially at the age of 16, but now that he has a child, he won't ever abandon it. He knows how it feels to be abandoned and he'd never allow such a thing to happen to his child. Despite how much Guren will complain and tell him to put it up for adoption, he won't. He's not abandoning a child like his parents did to him. It was his own damn fault that Mika got pregnant and he realized that the second he released his seed into Mika's insides. He's taking responsibility for his actions and he will love his child to the next fucking galaxy and back. Fuck the moon. The moons too short of a distance. And Yuuichirou definitely won't allow anyone to touch his child or even look at it either, but then, his brain remembered all the downfalls of having a child. You lose your social life, not enough time for school, and you're spending so much damn money, but he couldn't find himself caring because for some reason, he was extremely excited to be a dad... And with Mika too. Maybe they can even have sex every so often. Yuu grinned at just the thought.  Yuu sat up straight and held his hands out, hinting at the blonde to come over. "Mika, I need to you to come over here." Mika looked at Yuu more than a little skeptical, but he hesitantly complied and stepped in front of him. Yuuichirou pulled him onto his lap, which Mika wasn't too pleased with. "Stop. I don't want to—" "Shhh Mika. I need to feel your stomach." Yuu hovered his hand over Mika's belly before he paused and looked up at him. "Can I see?" Mika slowly nodded, and allowed Yuuichirou to pull his shirt up. Yuuichirou held his hands on Mika's skin, and Mika couldn't help but notice how large and warm Yuuichirou’s hands were. So damn warm, but what really threw Mika off, was the look on Yuuichirou's face. He was crying. Mika has never once seen him shed one single tear and it made Mika realize that Yuuichirou is...human. He never really thought that word described him, but the tears in his eyes, his soft, caring expression, and just the look of compassion. It completely threw Mika off. That is until Yuuichirou started playing with Mika's nipples under his shirt. Just when he gained back a decent shred of hope for the father of his child, Yuuichirou went and groped him.  Mika pushed at Yuuichirou's chest, but the strong arm wrapped around him kept Mika from getting up. "Stop. I don't wan- mmm." Mika blushed and quickly brought a hand up to his mouth. Shit. His body isn't listening to his mind again.  "Oh?" Yuu grinned as he flicked Mika's nipple. "You're sensitive, huh?" "S-shut up." "You know, Mika, pregnant people get horny a lot. I'd be glad to pleasure you during those times." Mika grabbed Yuuichirou's shoulders and gently shook. "Get this through your thick skull. What happened between us was mistake and I won't be having sex with you ever again. Understand?" Yuu smirked, despite how Mika just rejected him. "This is what I like about you, Mika. You claim to hate me, but in actuality you trust me." Mika looked at Yuuichirou just plain dumbfounded. "And what gave you that idea?"  Yuu smirked as he pulled Mika against his chest and started kissing down his neck. Mika froze as Yuuichirou started groping his crotch and unzipped his pants. "I could easily take you right here and now." Yuuichirou whispered against his ear. "But you trust me and know I would never hurt you." Yuuichirou pulled away and released his grip around Mika and he immediately got up. "You trust me, so you're not afraid to speak your mind." Yuuichirou smiled and Mika thinks that's the first time he's ever seen a genuine smile on Yuuichirou Hyakuya's lips. That is until it turned back into a cocky smirk. "You'll come running to me and asking to get fucked eventually. I just have to be patient." "Whatever." Mika bit back as he turned around and opened the bathroom stall door. "You're coming home with me after school. Tell your parents too." Then Mika left, leaving Yuu to think about how fucked he is when Guren finds out.  ===============================================================================   It was hella awkward walking home with Mika. Yuu tried conversing with the man baring his child as best as he could, but Mika just wouldn't have it. He tried bringing up multiple conversation topics, but Mika just ignored him and turned his head away. He was also looking at everything and anything other than him. Yuu watched his eyes as he'd glance up at the sky to watch a flock of birds flying above. Then he'd glance down and purposely change the pace he was walking so their feet didn't crunch into the snow at the same time or so their arms weren't swinging in sync.  Yuu honestly didn't understand why Mika hated him so much. Everyone loves him so why can't Mika? He clearly must be doing something wrong, but what? Maybe he needs to be nicer? "Hey, Mika?" Yuu called out, but Mika just kept on walking, so Yuu continued as he laced his fingers together behind his head and stretched his body out. "I just wanted to tell you that having sex with you was the real highlight of my day. I mean, you should feel pretty accomplished. You didn't just feel amazing, but you smelt amazing and the lewd noises you made— mmm Mika. I'd be lying if I said I didn't masturbate to those noises afterwards." Mika stopped walking and turned his body towards Yuu. Yuu thought he must have said the right thing because Mika was looking at him and he was smiling, but Yuu would be lying if he said he didn't catch the undertone of anger in that smile. "Yuuichirou." "Hmm?" Yuu hummed, dropping his hands back down to his sides.  "Y-y-you pervert!" Mika then slapped Yuu right across the cheek, and Yuu stood there just plain shocked. Mika...he, he called him a...pervert? Nobody has ever done that that before. What the fuck did he do wrong? It always made all the other omegas blush when he told them they did a good job during sex, so why was Mika different?  Yuu was still in shock at the name Mika had just called him and the fact that he slapped him, until it just clicked. "Oh! S and M. I got it. Who knew you were into that shit, Mika. I can roll with if that's what you're—" "NO!" Mika slapped Yuu on the same cheek, then turned back around and continued towards his home.  Yuu stood there in complete shock again. He not only got slapped once, but twice and was called a pervert? Yuu honestly doesn't understand. He placed his hand on his sore, red cheek, then ran ahead to catch up with the fuming blonde. "Damn Mika. You gotta strong arm." Mika sighed, as he tucked a stray locket of hair behind his ear, and if Yuu may say, he looked adorable. "Honestly. What goes on in your head?" Yuu opened his mouth to speak with that usual smirk plastered on his face, but Mika held one hand up. "Please don't answer that." Yuuichirou pouted. "Come on, Mika. Don't you wanna know more about your babies papa?" His babies papa? Mika thought as he shook his head in disapproval. He never wanted to think of Yuuichirou that way, but that's the reality he's in and despite how much Mika hates it, Yuuichirou is the father of his child, a child he'll love unconditionally even if that child has Yuuichirou's genes. One thing Mika was surprised by though is how Yuuichirou didn't seem to mind having a child. That was a shock to him. He thought Yuuichirou would want to put it up for adoption, or worse, abort it, but Yuuichirou took it quite well. Mika would have never allowed anyone to have his child besides him, but a usual topic for teen pregnancy is if they should keep it or not, and Yuuichirou didn't even bring it up. He just accepted it and even seemed to get a little...happy. It was shocking, but a little nice and it gave Mika hope.  "There are some things a person doesn't want to know." Mika replied, and then pointed to a small ranch style home. "We're here." Yuuichirou groaned. Guren’s car is already there and he knows he's fucking screwed.  Once Mika and Yuu got inside and placed their belongings in their rightful place, Yuuichirou introduced Mika to his alpha father, Guren, a tall Raven haired man with violet eyes, and Mika introduced Yuuichirou to his alpha older sister, Krul, a short, pale woman with long, pink hair. They all sat at the kitchen table and Yuuichirou could tell that Guren knew something was up. He was being very cautious when he spoke, but it came off a little hostile and angry. Yuu knows he's fucked.  Mika cleared his throat and nudged the father of his baby. "Yuuichirou, you can explain why we’re all here."   Why the fuck would he leave that job to him?! Not only is Guren pissed, but Mika's scary, alpha sister is shooting protective glares at him! He'll just play this like he always does. Mika watched as Yuu's expression turned from his usual rough and sexy appearance, to innocent and cute. That was definitely a real shock. "Daddy?" Yuuichirou started as he looked up at his father with the biggest puppy dog eyes he could muster.   Guren didn't seem too convinced though. "What?" He asked impatiently.  Mayday! Mayday! Operation call Guren daddy was a no go! Yuu cleared his throat, but continued with his innocent performance. "Papa, your most favorite son has made a small, teeny weenie mistake." "You're my only son." Guren reminded him, but he let Yuu continue.  "And guess what!" Yuu yelled, throwing his hands in the air. "My most favorite daddy is now going to be a grandpa!" Mika just gapped at Yuuichirou in the silence. That's how he told him?! No way is that going over well! And as usual, Mika was right. Guren stomped over to Yuu and tugged him by the collar of his shirt. "What?! What the hell did I tell you about using protection you fuckwad! I told you having sex with whoever the fuck you want is fine, but there's a simple invention called a condom that saves any mans ass!" "Excuse me." Krul interrupted, getting Guren’s attention. "Are you saying it's alright for my Mika and Yuuichirou to NOT be bound because I don't smell their scents on each other." Guren unlatched his fist on Yuu's shirt and turned towards the woman. "Yeah, that's what I'm saying." "And where's your mate, Mr. Ichinose?" Krul asked as she flipped her hair behind her shoulder.  "Don't have one."  "But I smell someone's scent on you." Yuu coughed. "Guren has fuck buddies too." "E-excuse me?" Krul stood up from her chair and made her way over to the taller male. "That is completely disgusting that you teach your son to live like that." Guren opened his mouth to argue, but Yuu tugged on his father’s shirt and shook his head. "Don't Guren. It's fine." Yuu then sighed and turned towards Mika, gesturing to the omega. He figures he should explain what happened. "Mika had his first heat three months ago during school. I relived him, but we weren't safe and Mika got pregnant." Krul placed one hand on her hip. "And if Mika's bearing your child then shouldn't you be mates?" "I don't want to be his mate. Truth is, I hate his guts." "Awh, Mika." Yuu pouted, wrapping his arm around the omegas shoulder. "I'm so hurt that you'd reject me like that." His eyes then narrowed, bringing his lips to Mika's ear. "I'd be glad to let you get your frustrations out in bed, babe." Mika's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "Get off me!" He yelled, shoving Yuuichirou's arm off him. "See, Krul? He's irritating and I don't want to be bound to him." Krul sighed, but nonetheless, she sat back down at the table and Guren followed after. Guren then sighed as he leaned one elbow against the table. "So the important question here is are we keeping the baby." "Of course we are." The two high schoolers say in unison.  "Yuu," Guren sighed. "A child is a big responsibility. You can't honestly expect to take care of a baby so young." Yuu snorted. "Aren't you forgetting that I've practically raised my little sister?" Mika looked over at Yuu as if he was an alien. He has a little sister? He does not have the big brother atmosphere at all and for some reason, Mika just can't picture it. That's another thing that reminded Mika that Yuuichirou is Indeed...human. He has a younger sibling that he takes care of, he can cry, and feel compassion. It's just so bazaar to Mika to see Yuuichirou as anything but an asshole manwhore. It's just weird.  Guren sighed once more, and then took a sip of his water on the table. "Well, what do you think?" He asked Krul, who was deep in thought.  "Well," Krul started as she rimmed the edge of Tea cup. "I definitely agree that taking care of a child is hard work and I am quite peeved that your son got my brother pregnant, but we'll put that on hold for a moment to talk about other issues like money. How are you planning on paying for this child, Mika?" Krul asked before taking a sip of tea. "We can only afford to pay for ourselves and babies have lots physical needs such as clothes, a stroller and other furniture, toys and we'd need to baby proof the house, and-- well, let's just say there's lots of things you need to pay for." "We're rich." Yuu deadpans.  Mika gave Yuu an irritated side glance. Cocky. He's so fucking cocky. How Mika will last the rest of his life knowing Yuuichirou will be a part of it is a mystery to even Mika himself.  Guren snorted as he rolled his eyes. "I'm rich." He corrected. "And you're getting your horny ass up and getting a job." "WHAT?" Yuu yelled slamming his fists down on the table, causing Krul’s teacup to rumble.  Krul gave Yuu a displeased look before she stopped her cup from chattering on the small plate. "You're the one who got my brother pregnant. The least you can do if provide for your child while Mika's body is providing it with life." Yuu settled down in his seat as he groaned out an okay and Guren snickered at that. "And Mika? Call my obnoxious son whenever you want. Craving something sweet or salty at 3 am? Call Yuu. You're moody and need to yell at someone? Yell at Yuu. And-" "And if you're horny," Yuu interrupted as he placed a hand on the omegas thigh. "Call me." He finished with his classic sexy wink.  "NEVER!" Chapter End Notes oh mika. we all know you will ***** Beauty ***** Chapter Summary the first doctor visit Chapter Notes See the end of the chapter for notes Yuu groaned as treaded through the cold snow and made his way to his sisters preschool. He had to cancel his planes with an omega to go pick her up because stupid shitty Guren couldn't do it. Not that he hates picking up his sister. It's quite the opposite. He just wanted to have sex, but he assumed Guren was doing it on purpose. He's such a cock block and Guren's been yelling at him to have a proper talk with his sister about the child he'll be having. To be honest, Yuu's not too sure how Akane will take it. She's very...well, protective of her big brother and he doesn't know how she'll react to having to share her brother with someone. Akane really was his precious little sister though. They've been through everything together and he's taken care if her since the day she was born. She's his number one and he loves her with all his heart. He doesn't have enough room in there to be bound to someone because his sister takes up all his love. Now, you're probably thinking he has a sister complex, and he does. Yuu will gladly admit to it, but his sister also has a brother complex, so he's not ashamed. He just can't help it. Yuu is a possessive person when it comes to those few special things, and Akane is the most important thing in his life, so he can't help but take care of her, dote on her, and make sure no filthy hands touch his precious little sister.  Yuu sighed and pulled his phone out to read all the texts buzzing in his pocket. He was very popular so lots of up people text him asking for different things such as hookups and other sexual favors. He did have a group chat with his friends, but other than that, it's all betas and omegas asking to hook up. Why someone would want to settle down with the same old person for the rest of their life when they can fuck whoever the fuck they want is a question that Yuu will never know the answer to. Yuu slides his phone open and started reading the 57 unread messages.  Huge tits: Hey, Yuu...are you busy later tonight? Hoe alert: hey baby ;) Peanut dick: I'm um going into heat in a few days. Can you help?  Queen Shinoa: y do u need me 2 get a job w/ u Yuu groaned at just four of the messages on the screen. He guesses he can have some fun later tonight, but Yuu decided to respond to Shinoa first. And yes, Shinoa did pick that contact name for herself. Yuu would never save her name as that.  Yuu: none of ur damn business just get a job w/ me. I was thnking the alpha cafe wud b good Yuu locked his phone and decided to reply to the other messages later. He was approaching Akane's preschool and could see all the kids playing out in the snow. Right when his sister saw him, she immediately started running over to her big brother, earning shouts from her teacher about it being dangerous, but Akane just ignored him.  "Niichan!" She yelled happily as she waddled her way over in her snow gear. Yuu smiled at how adorable his sister is with her cute tiger snow gear. It was an orange onesie with black stripes, a white stomach, and a long tail dangling behind her. She also had the hood up over her head that had cute kitty ears poking up at the top, and she had black boots to go with it. Yuu squatted down and opened his arms for his sister and she happily jumped in them. "Hey, Akane." He giggled, squeezing the girl in his arms.  "I did not think Niichan would get me!" She yelled, patting her hands on her brother’s shoulders.  Yuu smiled at the look of utter happiness threaded across his sister’s face. She's so cute and Yuu doesn't know how he could love anybody more than his little sister. "Well I'm here!" He smiled, earning a giggle from the girl. Yuu brushed some snow off Akane's shoulders and straightened her hood. "How was school today?"  "Mmm. We painted snowflakes with sparkles!" She yelled happily, eyes going wide at just the thought of the sparkly glitter.  "Sparkles?!" Yuu dramatically yelled as he swooped his sister up in his arms.  Akane giggled, squirming her legs around as she tugged on Yuu's forest green parka. "Yeah! I'll show you, Niichan!" Yuu smiled an okay and took her back over to Shinya, her teacher, a man with ash white hair and icy blue eyes that almost seemed to glow. Once they greeted the man, he immediately started scolding the brunette. "You can't run off like that, Akane." He said sternly as he patted the girls head. "I know you love your big brother, but it's dangerous, okay?" Akane slumped her head down and nodded, Yuu nearly dying from cuteness overload. She's so cute when she's sad. Her big brown eyes were now lidded and sad with a few stray tears trickling down, her cheeks were puffed out as she mentally scolds herself for her mistakes, and her eyebrows were furrowed together from the emotion in her eyes. She hates getting scolded and always ends up crying when she does, but she's extremely adorable when she's upset. Yuu held his sister in his arms so her face was directly in front of his own. "Hey, don't cry, Akane." Yuu kissed his sisters cheek and the brunette shyly looked up at him. "Shinya's not mad. He just wants you to be safe." She nodded and wiped her tears away with her paw print mittens. "O-okay." She sniffled, and then cuddled up in her brothers arms.  Shinya giggled at the two siblings, and then his eyes changed in an instant as he brings up a new topic. "So...no Guren today?" Shinya asked, and Yuu could easily detect the disappointment in his voice.  Yuu rolled his eyes. "Gee thanks, Shinya. Good to see you too." "Oh, you know what I mean." He waved Yuu of dismissively, and then cleared his throat. "So, h-how is he?" He stuttered, his cheeks tinting pink.  He really feels bad for Shinya. He obviously has a thing for Guren and they did have sex once, but it didn't go any further from there. After all, Guren is the same as him and likes to keep multiple people to fuck, but Shinya didn't want to be just fuck buddies. He wanted more and it seems he still hasn't given up. It is kind of Yuu's fault though... a"The same asshole as usual." Yuu sighed as he shifted his hand on Akane's back. The brunette immediately popped her head up from Yuu’s neck, giving her brother a stern look. Looks like she's recovered already.  "Niichan!" She yelled, waving her hand back and forth with a frown on her face. Yuu assumes she's holding her pointer finger up under her mitten. "Quarter! Put a quarter in the swear jar when we get home!" Yuu dramatically placed a hand over his mouth and formed an o with his lips. "Shoot!" He snapped his fingers, which caused Akane to giggle.  "You say so many bad words, Niichan!" "I know. I know, but we should get going. You have your backpack?"  Shinya left for a moment and grabbed Akane's panda backpack off the bench with all the other children's bags. "Here ya go." "Thanks." Yuu smiled while throwing the bag over his shoulder. They waved goodbye to Shinya and Akane immediately pestered Yuu to let her go on his shoulders, and he complied. He can never say no to his adorable little sister, especially when she uses her cute puppy dog eyes. They were now on their way back to their home, so Yuu took the opportunity to tell Akane about the baby that will be in their life soon. "So Akane?" "Yeah?" She asked as she ruffled Yuu's hair with her mittens.  "I...I have to tell you something and I don't want you to get sad. Just remember that you'll always be my number one, okay?"  "I know!" She grinned, rocking back and forth on her brothers shoulders proudly.  "Good," Yuu smiled, but then his expression changed to a more serious one as he continues. "But...there will be another person coming into our life that you'll have to share your spot with." Akane stopped rocking back and forth, and Yuu could easily hear the sniffles and hiccups coming from above. He knew she wouldn't take it well.  "I-I don't want to share Niichan!" She whimpered, tears tickling down her face as she hugs Yuu's head tightly in a possessive way. "Shhh, Akane. I still love just as much as before." Yuu stopped walking on the path and gently placed his hands under his sister’s arms to pull her up off his shoulders. He held her in front of himself Akane and immediately grasped onto Yuu's parka and buried her lips into his shoulder. "Shhh Akane. It's okay." He coaxed while gently rubbing the brunettes back. "I'm not gonna leave you. Not now or ever." "T-then why do I have to share Niichan?" "Because I'm having a baby." Yuu smiled, kissing the side of his sisters head. "And do you know what that means?" He asked, and Akane shook her head no, rubbing her runny nose against Yuu's jacket. "It means you're going to be an auntie and you'll be like a big sister." Her eyes lit up at that, and then she eagerly sat up in her brother’s arms, all signs of sadness immediately gone except for her puffy eyes and red nose. "I- I'll be a big sister like you're my big brother?" "Mhmm." He smiled, and then kissed his sisters forehead. The girl giggled and tugged on the fur around Yuu's hood. "I’m gonna see her today so I'll bring home a picture." She pouted, giving Yuu the best puppy dog eyes she can muster. "How come you can't bring the baby home today?"  "Awh, pouting won't make her come any faster." Yuu chuckled, poking his sisters little nose, and she giggled. "The babies not ready to come out yet, so we have to make sure she's okay every month. After six more months, we bring her home." "Hmm," she thought, placing a mittened hand on her chin. "I thought babies were made for mommies and daddies, so who's the mommy?" She asked, eyes wide as she anxiously waits for Yuu's reply.  Yuu scratched the back of his head in thought. “Uhm…” Akane won't like that there's a "mommy" in his life... "Is it me? Am I the mommy?" She asked eagerly, tugging on Yuu's hood with hope running thick through her eyes. "No, Akane." Yuu chuckled. "You're not the mommy." She tilted her head to the side curiously. "Do you not want a baby with me?"  "No, that's not the problem." Well it is actually, and illegal. "It's just that brothers and sisters can't have babies together."  "Why not?" "They just can't." Her eyes started to water as her lips trembled. "B-but if I'm not the mommy, then..." Her voice then dropped as an evil glint formed in her eyes. "What stupid head is the mommy of your baby." Yuu burst out laughing, despite how angry his sister is. She'll definitely be a alpha. "His name is Mika." "Mika..." She trailed off quietly. "I hate him." ===============================================================================   Mika sat in the waiting room of the OB/GYN with the poor excuse of a human being sitting next to him. It was a small office with few workers, so they were the only ones in the waiting room. Krul didn't get off work yet and neither did Guren so, it was just him and Yuuichirou. Mika was currently in a pissy mood because of the "human" sitting next to him. He doesn't do a very good job at keeping his texts hidden and was currently sexting a person that goes by the name of "slutty beta #5". Mika wonders how many "slutty beta #whatever's" there are. Well, there's at least five and that's too many in Mika's opinion, but he is kind of curious to know what his name is in Yuuichirou's phone. Sadly, Mika did give Yuuichirou his number and vise versa. It’s not like they text on a regular basis or ever. Well, Yuuichirou does text him once a day to ask if he's horny and needs to be pleasured, but Mika never responds. Yuuichirou wants a reaction out of him, so he'll never give him one, but Mika's never seen what his contact name is in Yuuichirou's phone. It's probably "knocked up omega" or something, but he's still curious.  Mika pulled his own phone out and quickly typed a random message, then sent it. He sat there for a moment, when the bar at the top of Yuuichirou's screen indicated a new message form "Bae <3". Mika shook his head. No that had to be someone else. At least it better not be him. Mika typed another message, just to get the same result, which made Mika's eyebrow twitch.  "Uh, Mika?" Yuu started, turning his head toward the irritated blondes. "Why are you texting me when we're sitting right next to each other? Or," he smirked, leaning in close to him. "You wanna sext me? I'm the fucking sext master, so I'm sure I'll get you horny." "No!" He yelled, pushing the stupid alpha away. "And why the fuck is my name bae in your phone!" Yuuichirou made an offended noise as he placed a hand on his heart. "It's not bae, Mika. It's bae heart emoji. Get it right." "Whatever! Change it now!" Mika reached down towards Yuu's phone, but the alpha just moved it above his own head where Mika couldn't reach. Yuuichirou smirked at him, completely entertained by the situation and Mika groaned. This is why Mika hates being an omega. He's so fucking short. Mika sat on his knees, but Yuuichirou just leaned back against the arm rest of the chair, causing him to groan out impatiently. "Yuuichirou!"  "Awh, come on, babe. Don't be mad. You look so much cuter smiling." "When have I ever smiled around you!" Mika pounced forward, ready to attack Yuuichirou, but his knees didn't have a good grip on the chair, causing Mika to slip. He panicked, eyes widening as his stomach was heading right towards the wooden armrest of the chair, but Yuuichirou swiftly caught Mika with his chest and wrapped soft hand around his belly.  Mika sat there is shock for a moment as tears formed in his eyes. His fists palmed at Yuuichirou's graphic t, desperately trying to burry himself into Yuuichirou's chest out of shame. Mika feels humiliated. Not only did he lose against Yuuichirou, but was saved by him? Why does he feel the need to partake in these silly games with him? But he just can't help it. Yuuichirou is aggravating, but Mika would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy the games they play a little. Despite how much Mika hates himself for it, Yuuichirou is right and Mika does trust him. He's not too sure why himself, but he obviously just proved himself worthy by catching Mika before he could have injured his child. Like for the love of God. What the fuck was he thinking messing around like that? He could have hurt his child. He risked his babies health all because of the way Yuuichirou saved his contact name? How pathetic. How irritating. How much Mika hates himself right now is unimaginable and he bets Yuuichirou will let Mika know of his mistakes.  Despite Mika's thoughts, Yuuichirou didn't say anything right away. He gently rubbed Mikas back with one hand and ran his fingers through his hair with the other, until he finally spoke. "Mika," Yuu breathed, holding the blonde against his chest and tenderly moving a hand back down to Mika's belly. Emerald met sapphire and Mika immediately looked away out of shame. Yuuichirou's eyes softened at the obvious self hatred in Mika's features and he took a deep breath before talking, casing Mika to visibly flinch. "Did you gain weight, Mika? I mean really, babe. You're so small, but you weigh like 150 pounds. You really need to work out. I could take you to the gym I go to. They have a huge room with a mirror along the whole wall. We could have some fun with that mirror, if ya catch my drift."  Yuu wiggled his eyebrows as Mika just gaped up at him. Did, did he do that on purpose? Did he know how Mika was feeling so he completely changed the subject, just to make him feel better? Mika never thought he'd be so...observant and kind, but he could be serious and hadn't even thought that their child was in danger. Mika kind of wants to know the answer though. "Uh, Yuu?" "Oh," Yuu grinned bringing his lips closer to Mika's. "Have we finally shortened my name to Yuu? This calls for a celebration." He grinned, and Mika did not like that grin one bit. "Kiss me, Mika." Mika looked at Yuu as if he was crazy. "What." He deadpanned, his eyes dropping to a stone cold glare. "I think I deserve a kiss for holding myself back for so long. It doesn't help that your nails are digging into my skin, and fun fact: I enjoy a little pain with pleasure, so you're just turning me on, babe." Mika quickly uncurled his fingers on Yuu's chest and begun pushing against the alpha, but Yuuichirou wouldn't let him get up. "I'm not kissing you, so you can just let me sit up." "Awh, come on, Mika. You've gotta be lonely without some romance in your life." Mika tsked and turned his head to the side. "What you do isn't called romance. It's called fucking." "And you prefer the term 'making love', yeah?" Mika didn't respond, so Yuu took that as a yes. "Oh, but we did make love, babe. Or are you calling our child in your tummy a result from fucking?" Mika snapped his head toward Yuu's, the look of utter entertainment and amusement in Yuuichirou's eyes made Mika sick. "I hate you." Mika spat, his teeth clenched shut as he pushed against taller male’s chest once more.  "Awh, but babe. We've gotta deal with each other for the rest of our lives. Wouldn't wanna go saying things that might hurt my feelings."  Mika felt sick. The sarcasm, the amusement, the way he talks, calls him babe. He hates it. Hates him. He hates everything about Yuuichirou Hyakuya. Everything!  The door to the clinic then swung open, and Yuuichirou's eyes widened as he sees the look of hatred form across the scary, pink haired alphas features. She took a step forward, her black combat boots clinking against the floor as her baggy camo pants swished with each step. Yuu swallowed thickly and quickly let go of the omega. Krul...she's in the fucking military?!  Mika got up so quick you'd think there was a fire and ran over to his sister who pet her brothers hair sweetly. Krul smiled at the taller alpha, but nothing in that smile showed kindness. "What were you doing to my brother?" She asked, anger clear in her tone.  "Nothing, ma'am." He answered, a drop of sweat anxiously dripping down his temple as he did everything and anything to avoid eye contact.  "Yuuichirou, look at me." Yuu whimpered, then slowly moved his moved his eyes up to Krul’s. "Touch my brother one more and I'll show you exactly what I learned in the military. Understand?" "Yes, ma'am." "Good." Krul smiled, then directed Mika to some chairs across the small room and away from Yuuichirou.  Yuu quickly pulled his phone out and eagerly texted his father.  Yuu: GET UR ASS OVER HERE ASAP!!!! Yuu got an immediate response, which could be a good or a bad thing. It meant Guren wasn't driving so he could be here or it could mean he hasn't even left work yet.  Guren: wth did you do? Yuu: nothing...where r u Guren: just left work Yuu mentally groaned. Just left work means he won't be there for a good twenty minutes or so.  Yuu: fuck u Yuu: AND SPEED GODDAMNIT Yuu locked his phone and groaned, doing everything he could to ignore the daggers being sent his way. There were ones from Mika, which were honestly just plain adorable, then there's the ones from Krul which were extremely terrifying. Yuu never thought he'd be scared of a woman before. He was one of the stronger alphas in their school so he didn't feel the need to be intimidated by anyone, but Krul is a completely different story. That woman looked strong for being so tiny and he could tell that just by meeting her the first time. He didn't even know she was in the fucking military, but he could tell that she was an extremely powerful woman.  Yuu's eyes perked up once he heard the door open. He knew it wasn't Guren and could easily tell the person was an omega from the smell, but having someone here with him in this stressful situation would be comforting. Even if it was a stranger omega. They'd also be there to tell the police that Krul Shindo was the one who murdered him.  May my soul rest in peace.  "Mikaela," the omega stated, smiling at the only other omega in the room. "We're ready for you." Mika smiled as well and eagerly stood up with his sister. Yuu awkwardly trailed behind them, feeling completely out of his comfort zone in a place like this. Not only were there pretty omega nurses everywhere, but posters of a developing fetus, what your tummy looks like during pregnancy and fucking pictures of flowers that Yuu's pretty sure are meant to look like vaginas. These fucking flower vaginas will be the end of him.  The omega nurse took them to a room where they've now been sitting in silence for a good ten minutes. It was hella awkward and Yuu could still feel the intense glare from Krul, but he just ignored it and texted Shinoa about the job he needs to get.  Queen Shinoa: tell me or im not getting a job w/ u Yuu: uggghh  Yuu: ill tell u eventually  Yuu: cant u just be nice and do this for me??? Queen Shinoa: bitch who the fuck do u think I am Yuu: fuck u Queen Shinoa: just tell meeeee Yuu: maybe 2morrow  Yuu: depends how much u piss me off "Hello," Yuu jumped and quickly locked his phone as the beta Doctor came in. Yuu was shocked to see a beta as a doctor. That's usually a job for alphas, but he guesses it makes sense since they want the pregnant omegas to feel comfortable around their doctor. And this doctor was so damn fine. Long legs with a thick ass that's outlined perfectly in her pencil skirt, nice, firm looking tits that were just the right size, and a beautiful face with dark chocolate hair, cute petit nose, and beautiful Amber eyes. just perfect. She's almost as beautiful as Mika.   "Hi," Mika greets with a wide smile across his lips.  "So you're Mikaela and are you the other parent?" She asked while gesturing to Krul, who was standing next to Mika on the bench and holding both the omega’s hands.  "Oh, no." Mika smiled, shaking his head. "This is my sister Krul and that," Mika gestured to the other, much less useful alpha in the room. "Is the father."  "Nice to meet you." She smiled, leaning in and shaking Yuu’s hand.  "Nice to meet you, too." He smirked, licking his lips to show his tongue piercing.  The doctors eyes widened, and a little blush hinted at her high cheekbones, until she turned back around towards Mika and glanced down at her paperwork. "So, this is your first visit?" She flipped through the information that Mika filled out, then sat down on her rolly chair. "Well for starters, let’s answer a few question, yeah?" Mika nodded and leaned forward on the bench, causing the paper underneath him to crumple. "When was your last heat?" "Um about three months ago. It was actually my first one and he—" Mika jerked his head over to the male alpha. "Got me pregnant." "Oh, so you guys aren't together?" She asked, her eyes glancing over to Yuu than back to Mika.  "Nope," Yuu smirked, leaning his elbow against his knee. "But I'm looking."  Mika rolled his eyes. Doesn't he mean "looking for a good fuck" not for a mate? "Oh, well..." She blushed, then turned back towards Mika. "Do you currently have a mate?" "No."  "Have you noticed anything different since you've gotten pregnant? Nausea, any colds, or fevers?" "Just nausea." "Okay." She smiled setting the clipboard down on the counter, then rolling over to Mika. "We're just going to take a quick exam." Guren finally showed up five minutes into the exam and Yuu couldn't have been happier to see his adoptive father in his whole life. He sat next to Yuu in the chairs off to the side and they discussed whatever while Mika had an hour worth of testing and blood work to check if the baby had Down's syndrome or if Mika had hepatitis b or whatever. The doctor asked multiple questions about his and Mika's family history and their own history. Yuu didn't know half the answers to the questions, since he's obviously not in touch with his family anymore. He answered as best as he could, and Krul answered most of Mika's questions for him.  After an hour and fifteen minutes of everything, they were now all gathered around Mika while the doctor prepared for the ultrasound. Mika was extremely nervous because seeing your child for the first time is something that's nerve wrecking. He was excited to see his baby, but there was a small part of him that was anxious. What if there was something wrong with her? Now, a little voice in Mika's head was thinking that they already tested the baby for multiple things and they came back good, but a much louder voice was panicking. Thinking scary thoughts like what if she's a miscarriage? Or what if she's under developed? Questions that a parent should never ask themselves, but he can't help it.  Mika looked over at Yuuichirou who looked just as nervous. This whole time he's been flirting with his doctor successfully, but he shut his stupid mouth for once in his life. There’s that and he can't stand still. His lips are moving around so Mika assumes he's playing with his tongue piercing, he was playing with the edge of the paper on the bench, and he couldn't stop bouncing his knees. Mika just wanted something to distract himself, so he was surprisingly happy when Yuuichirou finally opened his mouth again.  "I told Akane today." He said to Guren, who sighed in relief.  "Finally. Only took you a damn week." Yuuichirou pushed his father’s side and the older male ruffled his son’s hair. "How'd she take it?" "Not very well." He sighed, thinking back to the day's events. "She's excited to be an aunt though." "Is Akane your sister?" Mika asked, before flinching at the cold gel being squirted onto his stomach.  "Yeah."  "Yuu has a sister complex." Guren smirked, loving how Yuuichirou groaned in annoyance.  "So what if I do! Akane and I have been through everything together and she loves me just as much!" "I'm just teasing. No need to get your panties in a knot." Mika thought it was a little weird that Yuuichirou had a sister complex, but he didn't have time to comment as he gasped at the prob geting placed on his stomach. Everyone's eyes snapped up to the monitor, and watch the display slowly change. Krul was holding Mika's hand and tracing soothing circles on the back of his palm, while Guren had and arm wrapped around Yuu's shoulder, gently shaking his son. They watched as the black and white images slowly become more and more clear until they see a little black and white blob of a baby. The doctor zoomed in a bit and quickly found the heart beat of their child.  Bathump bathump bathump bathump Mika squeezed Krul’s hand as a whole whirlpool of emotions enter his chest. His baby. His baby he made is breathing and that's all that matters. It doesn't matter if she has a disease or birth defect. Of course Mika hopes his baby doesn't, but if she did, it doesn't matter. It's his baby and she's alive and she's beautiful. So fucking beautiful.  "Yuuichirou," Mika whimpered, tears falling from his eyes. Yuu hesitantly hovered his hand over Mika’s and Mika closed the gap between them as Yuu's own tears slipped from his eyes out of pure joy and happiness. "I take back what I said about making love, because what we did was beautiful." Chapter End Notes please comment ^_^ means a bunch! ***** Regret ***** Chapter Summary its all lacus' fault Chapter Notes hello, sorry this took so fucking long. idk if im happy with this chapter. it felt kind of rushed, but i couldnt fix it no matter how many times i rewrote it so i just said fuck it. I forgot to mention this last chapter so ill say it now. i pronounce their baby as a her or she because thats what you call babies if you dont know the gender.its kind of like men with their cars, so dont assume their baby is a girl. i already know what gender the baby will be, but mika and yuu are actually going to wait till shes born to find out the gender so you wont find out for a while. so have fuuun Mika couldn't help but feel pity for Yuuichirou at this moment. Mika knows Yuuichirou's friends are...well, a handful, to put it simply. They were pretty well known by school for a couple of reasons. One, everyone’s noticed that Yuuichirou doesn't act how he usually does around them. There are even rumors around the school that he's gone as far as to call them his family. As Mika likes to put it, Yuuichirou isn’t an ass to his friends, which tends to make people a bit envious of them. Everybody wishes they were friends with Yuuichirou. Sure, having sex with him is also fine, but there's no real connection when Yuuichirou has sex. Mika's been in the position and there were absolutely no feelings coming from Yuuichirou. Hell, Mika didn't want any from him, but all the other omegas and betas he has sex with does, and that's why people long to be Yuuichirou's friend because he cares about his friends. There was a rumor at one point that said the five of them have orgies together and that's why they're so close, but the school quickly debunked that theory once they broke everything down. Shinoa would strictly only flirt with Mitsuba, while Yoichi would only ever blush around kimizuki, and Yuuichirou never tried to get between the two couples. Plus, the more obvious reason was that they didn't have multiple people's scents on them. Yuuichirou, of course, always has a different omega or betas scent on him, sometimes a few in a day, but he never had his friends. Like today, he had a third year betas scent, and an omega from their class. Mika could obviously point out who it was from their scent and the way she keeps blushing at Yuuichirou like a lovesick puppy.  Mika rolled his eyes and focused his attention back to Yuuichirou. He would glance over at Mika with a worried look plastered on his face, then he'd look back at his friends and try to explain something to them, but his friends never seemed impressed. Mika didn't really understand why Yuuichirou kept looking at him, but he figured he was trying to explain their whole...situation to them. Mika's two friends have been a little suspicious as to why he and Yuuichirou have been talking, but he's managed to drop the conversation. Yuuichirou was probably having the same problems with his friends.  It was now lunch break and Mika was enjoying his salad. He hasn't had any cravings yet, but he did get cold extremely easily, so he always wore warm sweaters and fluffy hats. Him and Krul went shopping and got him a bunch of baggy clothes to hide his baby bump, and they got some legging type things that were really soft on his stomach as well. He found jeans to be extremely uncomfortable and he felt like he was hurting his baby wearing them. Yuuichirou was surprisingly observant about his change in clothing and actually bought him some really warm wool socks. He was wearing them now under his furry boots and he liked them. His toes always got really cold because it was January, so he appreciated Yuuichirou's gift.  Sighing, Mika took a bite of salad and continued to watch Yuuichirou who was now practically getting beat up by Shinoa. Mika didn't exactly know what that was about, but a small smile couldn't help but play on his lips. Watching Yuuichirou get beat up was a pretty pleasurable experience for him.  He grabbed some more salad, this time picking up some cucumber along with lettuce. He was just about to take a bite when he felt someone tap his shoulder. Mika turned to the right, getting a shit eating grin from lacus. "Looking at Yuuichirou again?" He grinned, popping a chip in his mouth. "You sure you don't have a thing for him?"  Mika just turned his head away and shoved his plastic fork in his mouth. Once he swallowed, he glared at his friend. "It's not like that." Lacus shrugged and dropped the subject, but René wasn't quite finished with the conversation. "Then why does he look at you all the time?"  "He doesn't look at me." Mika waved off before he set his plastic Tupperware down to take a sip of water. He swallowed, fiddling with the blue bottle before answering. "He's just..." Mika set his water down, trying to find the right words. He's just making sure he's okay? It is his job since Yuuichirou got him pregnant, but he's not too sure if he's ready to tell his two friends that. "Its just," he repeated, but he can't really come up with an excuse. "It's complicated..." Is what he went with.  "Does he have a thing for you?" René asked, leaning over a bit to try and meet Mika's gaze.  "Hmm? Oh, ew! No way!" Mika picked up his salad again, but jabbed a tomato instead of a piece of cucumber this time. "He's slept with every unpaired beta and omega in the school. Sometimes even coming between couples. He would never be interested in someone seriously, especially someone he's already had his way with."  Mika popped the tomato in his mouth and Lacus cocked his head. "Why do you say—" Lacus was cut off by a terrible sounding gag coming from Mika. Mika quickly dropped his salad, it landing on the tiled floor with a clunk before he placed his hands on his mouth and ran to the trash can by the door. The whole classroom went into panic with all the kind omegas coming to check on Mika and to see if he's okay. Lacus and René came over as well and rubbed his back. Mika then paused for a moment, throat sore, eyes teary, and nose picking up the stench of stomach acid and disgusting half digested food, but he could still smell the panicked scent of Yuuichirou running over. He shoved the hands off Mika's back and shooed them away. "Don't touch him!" He spat, and Mika could practically hear the snarl in his voice. Yuuichirou kneeled down next to him and gently gathered the hair falling around Mika's mouth and held it back while rubbing Mika's back with the other hand. "It's okay, Mika. I'm here if you need anything." Mika wasn't really sure what emotion he was feeling at that moment, but it quickly got unimportant as more stomach acid and food got shoved back up his throat. Yuuichirou continued to rub his back and whisper comforting words, all while cussing out whoever tried to touch him. Mika wasn't too sure as to why he was acting so protective over him, but he figured it could be because of a couple of reasons. One, alphas tend to get possessive of their mates when they're pregnant, but then again him and Yuuichirou aren't mates. Mika's guess is that Yuuichirou probably thinks he's sick, so he doesn't want anyone to touch and get him even sicker. If it's not one of those two reasons, Mika doesn't know.  Once Mika felt like he was no longer going to puke, he fell from his knees to his to his butt and crossed his legs under himself. Yuuichirou offered him some water he seemed to bring over, and Mika gladly accepted it. "Thanks."  Yuu smiled, and released the hair he was holding but kept his other hand on Mika's back. "No problem." Yuu leaned in a bit closer so no one would hear. "Do we need to go to the doctors?" Mika shook his head no, flicking the straw to the water bottle open, before he glanced down at it. This is Yuuichirou's water and that means his mouth has been on it, but Mika just shrugged and placed it in his mouth. They've had sex. An indirect kiss won't matter.  Mika swallowed down the water before glancing over at Yuuichirou. "I think it was the tomato." "Tomato?" He nodded and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "I haven't had one since...you know, and it changes how things taste sometimes." Yuuichirou nodded, seeming to understand. It was silent for a moment, and Mika just now noticed how close they were. Yuuichirou's elbow was bent and pointed down to the floor with his hand one Mika's back directly above it, so they were just inches away from each other. It made Mika uncomfortable and he wanted Yuuichirou to move.  "Did you get any on your sweater?" He asked, ducking his head down to show emphasis.  Mika looked down, eyes narrowing at the very clear stain dribbling down the front of his tan sweater. He sighed, taking another sip of water before answering. "I have a shirt under this, but I get cold." "Well aren't you adorable." Mika gave him an irritated side glance. "Shut up." "Well," Yuuichirou sighed, finally removing his hand from Mika's back, but he didn't move the rest of his body. "I have a sweatshirt you can barrow in my locker." Mika sighed, chewing his lower lip in thought. He really doesn't want to wear something that belonged to Yuuichirou, but, then again, it'd be worse to go around wearing a gross throw up stained sweater.  Mika nodded and slowly stood up with Yuuichirou's help. Yuuichirou didn't bother explaining what just happened. He glared at all the people staring at them with concerned, yet interested eyes, and he flipped them off before grabbing Mika's hand and marching out of the classroom.  Mika glanced behind them before they left, a shit eating grin playing at both Lacus' and Shinoa’s lips. How he'll explain this little incident to Lacus and René is a question even God doesn't know the answer to.  He sighed, running a hand through his hair while watching Yuuichirou a little curiously from behind. When he's actually concerned and not acting like a total douche, he's not too bad of a person to be around. Mika wonders if this is how Yuuichirou acts around his sister. He's never really seen Yuuichirou as anything but a total tool, but since this whole ordeal, he has seen some other sides of him. Such as showing compassion and concern. It makes Mika think he's not as bad as a guy as he originally thought. Maybe raising a child with him won't be too bad.  "Hey, babe," Yuu turned around and squeezed Mika's hand. "You know what always makes me feel better and will surly do wonders for your condition?" Mika raises a brow, telling him to continue. "Having sex. Fucking someone always brightens my day and I'm sure getting fucked will have the same result." Mika takes back his previous thought. "No!" He snatched his hand back, and walked past him annoyed. Whenever Mika manages to have a decent shred of hope for the father of his child, he fucks it up and acts like a total douche again. It's like he does it on purpose.  Yuu caught up to Mika and wrapped an arm around him. "Come on, Mika, I'm sure you're thirsty for some love. Let me pleasure you, babe." Mika shrugged Yuu's arm off and glared up at the alpha. "I won't ever be asking you for help again! If I need to be relieved, I'll ask anyone but you." Mika walked a little faster, trying to get away from Yuuichirou, but was quickly stopped by the two large hands wrapping around his wrists and slamming him against the lockers. Yuuichirou bent over, Mika's eyes going wide as Yuu rested his forehead on his shoulder. "If anyone even thinks about touching you—" he glanced up, eyes hard as ice in the tundra. "I will kill them." Mika was frozen still. He is clearly angry and if looks would kill, Mika would be long dead. Lips locked tight, eyebrows furrowed, eyes dark, hard, not even a twitch to his irises. They were stern, never wavering or showing any sign of kid. He was serious. His scent was deadly and could probably kill a small animal from how heavy it was. All Mika could do was give a slight nod and that was an extremely difficult task to do. His scent was practically drowning Mika with how possessive and protective it was. He felt like he couldn't breathe, but for some reason, it got Mika...excited. It must be his omega instincts wanting submit to Yuuichirou and let the alpha have him. To let Yuuichirou touch him and pleasure him with his experienced hands and feel that pleasure he's longed for since Yuuichirou stopped the first time.  Yuuichirou's terrifying scent diminished at Mika's nod, and a smile formed across his lips. Yuu grabbed Mika's hand and they continued down the hallway with their fingers laced together. Mika could feel Yuuichirou's deadly aura rising from his pours as a person passed them in the hallway, but it quickly went back to a low rumble until he saw another person.  It was silent the rest of the way to Yuu's locker and Mika couldn't help but feel a little guilty for saying that to Yuuichirou. Mika has no intention of asking Yuuichirou to help pleasure him, but he also has no intention on asking anyone else for help either. He should have just said he won't need it like he usually does. Mika doesn't know why he said that, but how Yuuichirou's acting kind of pissed him off. He has no right to tell him who he can or can't sleep with because Yuuichirou sleeps with whoever the fuck he wants. Hell, he flirts with people right in front of him. It never bothered Mika so why does it bother Yuuichirou? It's probably that protective alpha instinct, but it still pissed Mika off. Not like he'd say anything though. Yuuichirou would probably say some shit like "What, you jealous?" and he’d rather just not deal with that conversation.  Once they got to Yuu's locker, he unlocked it and pulled the sweatshirt out. Mika stuck his arm out, ready to take it, but Yuuichirou just bunched it in a ball and started rubbing it in Mika's hair, his back, down his legs, pretty much everywhere except where the throw up was.  "What are you doing?" Mika asked while fixing his hair.  "Marking my territory."  Mika swallowed thickly at the growl that was released from Yuu's throat. His terrifying scent was emerging from his pours again and Mika couldn't help but get a little excited by it. Despite it being Yuuichirou who's being possessive of him, he's kind of fond of having an alpha be so protective of him. He's never had that happen before and it made him happy.  "There." Yuu stood up and handed Mika the sweatshirt, but Mika just gazed over at Yuu for a moment, his expression unreadable to even himself, but Mika just rolled his eyes and accepted the hoodie. He held it between his thighs to pull his sweater off, and once situated, Mika couldn't help but notice how large it was on him. He hadn't really realized how much smaller he was then Yuu, but the hoodie went to the middle of his butt and the sleeves covered his hands.  Once done, Mika shoved the sweater in Yuu's locker and marched back to the classroom. Yuu stuck behind him for some reason, but Mika was grateful. He had enough of talking to Yuuichirou for the day, but little did Mika know Yuu was having a ball behind him. He was taking pictures of Mika with the clear Hyakuya printed on the back of his sports sweatshirt that was very easy to read with the white font over the black fabric.  Yuu turned around and changed the Camera to front mode. He did a peace sign while winking with Mika walking behind him, hoodie huge around his hands and hips, his cute black leggings making him look even smaller, and the big, fuzzy winter boots he had on completed cuteness.  "There, new background picture." Mika whipped his head around, hair bouncing around his face before he sees Yuu playing with phone. Mika ran over leaning over Yuu's phone to see him posting a picture to snapchat labeled "boyfriend hoodie." Mika quickly reached for Yuu's phone but the alpha just held it above his head and skipped in front of Mika.  "Delete it!" He yelled running after him. "Haha, no way, Mika!"  "I'm not your boyfriend!" "Tell that to the sweatshirt!" Mika charged forward and jumped on Yuu's back, then immediately started reaching for his phone. Yuu curved his spine so I'd be a softer landing, and he grabbed Mika's thighs to hike him further up his back. "Be careful, babe." Yuu said, rubbing his thumbs on Mika's thighs. "Don't wanna hurt Yuu junior." Y-Yuu junior? "Don't call our child that!" Mika wiggled his arms and legs around in protest, but Yuu wouldn't let him go.  "I think Yuu junior is cute." Yuu cocked his head to the side. "Or Yuu the second. We'll decide which is better once we get closer to the due date." "We aren't naming her either of them!" "How selfish, Mika. You wanna name our child Mika junior, don't you?" Mika took a deep breath through his nose, then released through his mouth to calm himself down before he boils over. He's done with the conversation. If he has to be up here, might as well get comfortable, so he leaned his cheek against Yuu's shoulder and closed his eyes.  Yuu jumped a bit, shocked that Mika would cuddle against him like that, but it made him a little happy. Maybe he's learning to like him a bit, but probably not. He's probably just annoyed, but Yuu just can't help but tease him. Mika's so cute when he's angry. He puffs his cheeks out a bit and his glare— ugh, it's the cutest little glare he has ever seen. He kind of reminds him of Akane when she's angry. Yuu giggled to himself just imagining how that meeting will go. Mika will want to be Akane's friend and he'd try so hard to be nice to her, but Akane will hate him because he's his babies "mommy".  Yuu sighed, hiking Mika a little higher on his back all while glaring at the people looking at them. Lunch break was now over so there weren't as many people walking by as there were before, but he still had to be protective of his omega. Yes, his. Mika is his. Mika may not like that fact, but he was also never planning on telling his omega. Yuu doesn't understand why he's being so possessive over Mika, but he just can't help it. Mika needed to be protected, he needed an alpha to watch over him, and he'd never allow anyone but himself the take on that role. Yuu just didn't realize how angry it made him when anybody but him touched Mika until today. When all those people went over there when Mika was sick and...and put their filthy hands on him, it made Yuu have the urge to end their lives. Then when Mika said he'd let anyone but Yuu pleasure him, it made Yuu enraged, it made him extremely jealous. Sure, he's had other omegas and betas try threatening him and saying some shit like "if you don't stop sleeping around I'll leave you and find someone else." They said it like their special, like he'd give a fuck if they left, when in actuality his response was "okay" and he left. Like who the fuck do they think they are? Do they think their special to him? Someone important to him? No way. They're a person to fuck, a person he'd forget the name of in less than a day if he already didn't know their name.  Mika was different. When Mika said he he'd find someone else to pleasure him, he acted the opposite then how he usually does. He wasn’t carefree or at ease. He was pissed, and Mika needed to know that. He needed to know the consequences if he did do such a thing as letting someone else touch him. Usually Yuu wouldn't use his power as an alpha over an omega like that, but he just couldn't help it. He was fuming and Mika needed to know that.  Yuu stopped walking for a moment, noticing they're at their classroom. Yuu knew Mika wasn't sleeping by the way he kept shifting around and snuggling up to his back like an adorable puppy. "Mika, prepare yourself." The omega stretched his arms out around Yuu's neck and opened his eyes. "What-" Mika was cut off by Yuu kicking the sliding door to their classroom open, the whole class stopping the lesson to gap at the site before them.  Mika blinked in shock before his face flushed at an alarming rate. He shook Yuu's shoulders and kicked his legs around. "You could have put me down before we entered the fucking classroom!" "That's no fun. Now stop moving before I drop you." Mika immediately caught Yuu's hint and stopped thrashing around. He hates getting scolded by Yuuichirou. Especially when he's right. He needs to understand that there's a baby inside of him and to stop doing dangerous things. "Sorry." Yuu turned his head to the side and gave Mika a small smile. "It's fine." Yuu turned around and kicked the door shut, and a gasp left a couple of the omegas mouths at the sweatshirt Mika was wearing. Yuu took Mika to his desk and set him down, and Mika kicked Yuu in the shin before crossing his arms over his chest and plopping down in his chair.  So cute.  Yuu winks at Mika before he left, casing Mika to visibly gag. As soon as Yuu was back in his chair, the class resumed its lesson and Lacus tugged on Mika's sweatshirt hood from behind him. "What the fuck was that?" He whispered, leaning in a bit. "Yuu smell like Yuu's replica. What the fuck did you- no way...did, did he mark you?!" "We didn't have sex lacus! We were gone for 15 minutes!" "Then explain." He said, crossing his arms across his chest.  Mika sighed, turning his head to the side, but his body was still facing the front. "He just...he just rubbed his sweatshirt all over me. Said he was 'marking his territory'." "Hah! So he is into you!" "No, he just-- look it's really hard to explain, but half the shit he does is because he knows I'll get mad at him for it." He sighed, bending over to grab a notebook and pencil from his bag. "Like walking into the classroom. He knew how I'd react so that's why he did it." "So he likes the tease you." Lacus grinned, poking at Mika's shoulder. "I've never heard of Yuu acting like that to anyone else. You must be special~" "Shut up. It's not like that. He's just annoying." "Then why's he so protective over you?" Mika started copying down the notes, running a hand through his hair while doing so. "I told you. It's complicated." "Well that's not good enough, Mika. You've been hiding something from us for a while and it makes me and René sad." Mika paused his note take to glance behind him, and he sighed at the look on Lacus' face. He really did look sad. "I-I'll tell you eventually. I'm just not ready." "Mika, you can't hide it from us forever. Just tell me." "Lacus!" "Mika!" Lacus yelled, but Mika didn't respond this time. He resumed his note taking, but Lacus wasn't finished with the conversation. "Mikaaa. Mika, Mika, Mika. I'm gonna annoy you the rest of the day if you don't tell me." Lacus paused, before leaning in close. "Oh~ Yuu! Mmm, that's it! Right there! Right fucking there! Harder! Harder baby!" Lacus' voice dropped for the next part while Mika tightened his grip around his pencil. "You like that, Mika? You feel amazing. So tight and- mmm, oh fuuuck. Don't squeeze your insides like that, babe. God, you make me so horny." Lacus' voice got higher again, Mika tapping his pencil at an alarming rate. "Ah-! Yuu, I-I think...I think I'm in love with you!" His voice dropped again. "Me too, Mika. You're my everything. The omega I've been looking for this whole time. I've been searching this whole school to find them and- and- oh god I'm coming! Cum with me Mika! I love you! Oh my god, I love you so-" Mika slammed his hands down on the table. "I'm fucking pregnant! There, you happy?!"  The whole room was silent and Mika stood there for a moment, breathing heaving before he realized what he yelled in front of the whole classroom. Tears started to pool in his eyes and plop down onto his paper as someone coughed the word "slut". Mika quickly stood up and ran out of the classroom, and Lacus stood up as well to follow him, but a deadly aura kept him from doing so. "Don't fucking move, asshole." The whole class didn't exactly know when Yuu got up, but he was now gathering Mika's things and throwing his bag over his shoulder. "Fuck you." He spat before leaving the room and running after Mika.  He didn't have time to deal with that jealous bitch who called Mika a slut. He'll deal with her tomorrow. His main focus was finding Mika and Yuu could easily smell his distressed scent throughout the halls, but it looks like he went to the bathroom. Yuu sprinted all the way there and took a deep breath before entering. "Mika?" He called out, walking into the large room. Yuu immediately heard sniffles and hiccups coming from one of the stalls, so he cautiously walked over and sat down with his back facing the stall. They sat there in silence for a moment, the only thing making noise was the small noises coming from Mika and an annoying drippy sink. Yuu sighed anxiously before opening his mouth to speak. "Mika, I'm really-" "Don't say it." Yuu paused looking at the stall a little curiously. "I don't want you to say sorry. Our baby may have been a mistake, but I don't regret her. A-and you saying sorry makes it sound like you don't want her." "That's not true, Mika." "I know." Mika sniffled, whipping away his tears. "I may not like you, but I can tell you care for our child a lot."  Yuu nodded, until he realized Mika couldn't see. "I care for our baby so much and I'll make sure to take care of both of you. I'll be here forever, whether you like it or not." Mika couldn’t help but release a whimpered giggle and Yuu thinks that was the first time Mika's laughed at something he's said. It made his heart warm up like a soft candle in the dead of winter.  Yuu held his hand under the door, and this time Mika scooted over with his back leaning against where Yuu's was, and he grabbed it and intertwined their fingers. Yuu sighed in relief. He thought Mika might reject him, but he grabbed his hand.  And it made him happy. ***** Uncertainty ***** Chapter Summary a very confused mika You can say the rest of Mika's evening was hit or miss. He felt extremely pitiful when he cried in front of Yuuichirou and Mika vowed to himself to never allow that situation to occur again. He just didn't want to be scrutinized and that's exactly what was happening at school. People were judging him when he had no reason to be judged. Yes, Mika blamed himself for not pushing Yuuichirou away during his first heat, but he was taken advantage of. He has no reason to be called a slut, and that had never happened before so he didn't know how to handle the situation. Plus, he just felt so vulnerable and all these useless emotions came bubbling up in his chest and caught in his throat. He's never felt so defenseless and utterly exposed. It must be his hormones getting messed up from the pregnancy because he never would have reacted like that if someone called him names before. And that's why he looked for consul in Yuuichirou, why he accepted his hand, why he laughed at his joke. It was hormones, he was emotional. That has to be the reason...No, it is the reason because Yuuichirou is an egocentric ass who only cares about his sexual drive. And Mika knows that for a fact because of the other unpleasant experience that happened that afternoon. Yuuichirou insisted on walking him home and he was a total douchebag the entire way, which involved an entire disturbing dialogue between him and Yuuichirou during their second time together. Mika lost count of how many times he cringed and gagged at Yuu's words. The only pleasant thing that happened to Mika that afternoon was the fact that Yuuichirou's friends ambushed them while they were walking back to his house. Yuuichirou tried to run away, but apparently Mitsuba is very athletic and he didn't make it very far. It was funny seeing him get taken down by a woman beta when he's the top alpha in the school, and damn does that girl have a powerful kick. One solid one to the back of the knees and he was down for the count. What happened next honestly made Mika grateful he was pregnant with Yuuichirou's baby because he wouldn't have seen that moment, the moment Yuuichirou gets beat up by his friends. Mika videotaped the whole thing and now has good blackmail material. If that "accidentally" gets leaked around the school, who knows what it'd do to his reputation. I'd be funny to see him lose his spot as top alpha, but Mika will save it for when he really needs it.  Sighing, Mika observed his top bare half in the mirror and placed his hands on the belly of his tummy. He smiled at the thought of his precious baby, and turned to the side to see his baby bump in the mirror. That's right. All this is worth it for his baby. It doesn't matter how much of an ass Yuuichirou is, or the names the other students will call him. He'll endure it for his baby and Mika knows she'll be beautiful. He can't help but wonder what gender she'll be or what she'll look like. But that doesn't matter to Mika. He'll love his baby no matter what.  He ran his fingers from his side to his belly button, and Mika couldn't help but giggle at the fluttering of his tummy like there's little popcorn popping in there. His eyes widened and he rubbed his tummy to try and send warmth to his baby. "Are you having fun there?" He asked softly and Mika could feel the little popping in his tummy again. "You're wiggling a lot, sweetheart. Just don't hurt yourself, okay?"  Smiling, Mika exited the bathroom and walked to his room to finish getting ready. Stopping at his dresser, he grabbed a pair of black leggings from the drawer and slipped them on, then made his way to his closet and pulled an oversized maroon sweater over his head. He felt safe in baggy clothes and he'll probably wear them his whole pregnancy. Plus they were very warm on his overly cold body so big sweaters were a must have during the colder season.  He grabbed a pair of wool socks before exiting his bedroom and making his way down the hall and into the kitchen. He plopped down at the table where there was a light breakfast of sunny side up eggs, a peach Greek yogurt, and a small glass of orange juice waiting for him. He found that eating too much in the morning makes him sick so he has limit the amount of food he eats during that time.  "Morning sweetie." Krul called from the family room. "How'd you sleep?"  "Mmm," Mika cut a piece of egg with his fork and brought it to his lips. "Pretty okay. You?" "I had a wonderful dream about putting Yuuichirou through military training." Giggling, Mika then opened the yogurt and mixed the peaches in with the rest of the cup. "I'd like to see that." "Me too." Sighing, Krul stood up from the couch to pour some more coffee in her mug. "You'll be okay at school, right?" She glanced over at him before walking from the kitchen to the small table and sat down next to him.  "I'll be fine." Truth is, Mika didn't tell Krul about what happened at school the day before. She would pull him out and have him do online school to protect him. But that'd be like admitting defeat to the other omegas and betas. They want him gone so Mika won't leave, just to spite them. He can handle himself and he won't allow anymore emotional breakdowns like what happened yesterday, especially in front of Yuuichirou. He's the last person Mika wants to look weak in front of.  Mika took a spoonful of yogurt and nearly gagged the dairy back up, so he assumed that was enough food for the day and stood up from the table. "Mika," Krul observed the half eaten egg and barley touched yogurt, and sighed. "You need to eat more. Your baby will get sick if you keep that up." Mika just walked to the front door and sat on the ground to pull his socks on. "The baby obviously doesn't want it if she keeps rejecting the food." "I'll make something else tomorrow." Mika was about to respond when he heard the doorbell go off. Sighing, he stood up and opened the door, when all his hopes and dreams of a peaceful morning crashed and burned.  "Morning beautiful."  Mika blinked once, blinked twice, blinked three times, hoping this was just all a nightmare and Yuuichirou wasn't trying to seduce him by leaning against the brick wall of his house. Curse that attractive face of his and those alluring eyes. Mika hates himself for thinking this, but he really hopes their baby has Yuuichirou's eyes. He'd never tell him that though.  Before Yuuichirou could say another word, Mika slammed the door shut, but was stopped by a foot in the crack. "Mika, Mika." Yuuichirou clicked his tongue in disapproval and shook his head. "How dare you betray me like this when I specially came here to pick you up." Mika rolled his eyes and full on whacked the door against Yuuichirou's foot, causing him to curse in pain and pull his foot back out. Mika took the opportunity and shut the door, leaving Yuu alone in the cold. Yuu watched Mika walk away through the pieces of cut out glass in the door, only for him to come running back at full speed. Yuu straightened himself out and leaned against the wall again to make himself look as appealing possible, but he just heard something click and Mika walked away again.  "He locked the door on me." Pouting, Yuu crossed his arms across his chest and sat down on the porch step. He's gotta come out eventually so he'll just wait. Yuu is protecting his omega from the bullies that will ridicule him. Mika didn't deserve that shit. He's too adorable and looks like a little peanut that you just wanna snuggle up next to and pet their hair, making them rely only on you, then you break his innocence and show him all the fun dirty, dirty things you can do together. Make him cry out your name in such a lewd voice with saliva dripping down from his mouth...Ahh, he can picture it already... Yuu sighed and leaned his elbows against his knees. Mika really did look cute though. Yuu kind of has a thing for cute omegas or betas on the outside, but are fiesty on the inside, and Mika definitely fits the bill. Well, Mika's actually the only person he knows who's like that so...he really just has a thing for Mika. No. Yuu laughed and shook his head. That's not possible. But even if it was true, Mika is already his so it doesn't matter.  Getting board, Yuu stood up from his spot and wondered into Mika's yard. He started out just making footprints, but ended up rolling an oval like ball out of snow and rounding out the edges so it was almost flat. He found two little pebbles for the eyes and two long, red leaves for the ears, then put them on his creature. Smiling at his creation, Yuu took a picture to show Akane at home, when he heard footsteps behind him. Yuu turned around, getting greeted by an adorable looking Mika all wrapped up in a winter coat, fuzzy boots, a hat, and a scarf. He really was cute. "A snow bunny?" Mika didn't see Yuuichirou as the type to play in the snow, especially the type who makes little snow creatures instead of throwing snowballs at random people’s homes.  Smiling, Yuu stood up and turned around. "Yeah. Akane and I make them all the time." Akane is his little sister, right? Apparently Yuuichirou has taken care of her since she was born and he has a sister complex. It kind of makes Mika a little curious to see how Yuuichirou acts around her. Hopefully he's not an ass to her, but Mika can tell he has a soft spot for her. It makes Mika a little envious for some reason. Not that he wants Yuuichirou to treat only him nicely, but he just kind of wants to see it. To see what being loved by Yuuichirou Hyakuya means. How does he treat her? What special things does he do for only her? Mika just wants to know and see. It must be different then what he's used to... "Yuu, what's your sister like?" Yuu's eyes lit up and he wiggled around in excitement like a dog wagging its tail for his owner. But that quickly dispersed and his lips pulled up into a smirk as he placed a hand on his hip. "Calling me Yuu and wanting to know about me?" Yuu walked forward and wrapped an arm around Mika's shoulder. "Babe, are you interested in little ol' me?" Yuu batted his thick eyelashes, and Mika curses this angle because from the side, you can really see his jawline, and damn, is that shit sharp.  Mika shoved Yuu's arm off and started towards the bus stop. "I don't want to know about you. I want to know about your sister." Yuu quickly grabbed his bag off the sidewalk and caught up with him. "Same thing~" He sang happily, then his atmosphere dropped in an instant and he shoved his hands in his pockets. It caught Mika off guard at how quickly his scent transformed, but he stayed quiet and let Yuuichirou have a moment to collect his thoughts. "Well, where to start?" Yuu laughed nervously, which Mika thought was extremely out of character for him. "She's only five years old and we actually have different omega mothers. I was very protective of her since the day she was born..."  Dropping his eyes, Yuu's mind seemed to wonder off to some faraway place and Mika didn't know if that was such a good thing. He's thinking about his past. Mika doesn't know what his past is, but it might not be a very healthy place to go, considering Yuuichirou is actually quite right now, and that itself is strange.  "So you were 12?"  "Hmm?" Yuu's eyes snapped up to Mika's, and then they relaxed as he seemed to register the question. "Oh, yeah. I was 12." Yuu laughed again, and his eyes dropped back down to the snow on the sidewalk.  B"What's she like?" "Mmm, she loves to bake and cook." Yuu smiled and started counting on his fingers. "She has all sorts of machines like an eazy bake oven, chocolate bar maker, ramen noodle maker, Cotten candy maker, and lots more. She always wants to do it by herself, but she doesn't make it very far." Yuu giggled at the memory. "She calls out to me in her cute little voice and says 'Niichan! I dont want you to be lonely so you can teach me how to make this.' She says it just like that and pats the table like she always does and pouts when I tell her she's cute." This was strange, very strange. It left Mika feeling uncomfortable. It made him not want to hate Yuuichirou and that is a very foreign feeling for him. He's always hated Yuuichirou Hyakuya, since freshmen year. He was the perfect guy who was good at sports without even breaking a sweat, good at school even though he didn't try, and was probably the most attractive man he's ever seen, and everybody loved him for those reasons. That didn't make Mika hate him though. Truth is, he might've had a little crush on him during the beginning. Who wouldn't? Everyone wanted to be noticed by Yuuichirou. He was attractive, nice and was always surrounded by people. People telling him how they feel about him, that they wish he could be their alpha, and what they wanted to do with him, to do to him, and it went to his head. He started sleeping around and the omegas and betas in school were happy with that. At least they got their first time taken by their dream guy, at least Yuuichirou was paying attention to them for that short amount of time, and at least they weren't alone. He slowly morphed into an asshole who thought he was too good for everyone and that itself became a challenge to the omegas and betas who wanted him. They would be Yuuichirou's special person, the person who Yuuichirou would treat differently.  But seeing Yuuichirou now, seeing him giggling, seeing him talk about someone like he actually loves them, and seeing this pain in his eyes, really made Mika want to understand him, and that was a scary thought to him, an unwanted thought. He was content hating Yuuichirou, and he felt safe hating Yuuichirou. He almost wants him to start talking about sex again because that was familiar, that's how it should be. Yuuichirou is a narcissistic asshole who only cares about himself. But now that he's seen this side of him, he's having a hard time believing himself.  "You should see her when she plays in the snow. She has the most adorable tiger snow gear and she'll try and hide behind a snow bank, but she's wearing bright orange so she doesn't blend in. She'll jump out and try to scare me and I of course, run away screaming while she chases after me." Yuu giggled, and moved some hair out of his eyes. "She fell flat on her face once and started crying, but the little devil only tricked me and jumped on top of me once I came to check on her." No. He needs to get away. He can't talk to Yuuichirou when he's being so unfamiliar. It makes him feel things he doesn't want to. Things he shouldn't have felt about him in the first place. He doesn't want to see Yuuichirou being nice, showing compassion. It's too scary, it's frightening, and he doesn't want to feel these feelings!  Mika stopped walking and begun to stumble backwards. "I-I, I—“ "Mika, what's wrong?" Yuu placed a hand on his shoulder, and held him still so he didn't slip in the snow. "Are you sick? Mika? Mika?"  Tears started to spill from his eyes and Mika tried to shake them away, but more started to fall. No! This isn't what he wants! Stop being nice! He can't handle him being nice! You're supposed to be too good to care! You're supposed to be an egocentric ass who doesn't show compassion, so why are you so concerned? Why do you care when I cry? Why are you walking me to school? Why?! "Mika!" Yuu had both hands on his shoulders now, and gently shook. "Hey! Mika, talk to me! You're really scaring me!" Stop. Just stop. He can't handle this! And he doesn't want to! He doesn't want to see Yuuichirou as a good person! He doesn't want any of this! He didn't want to get pregnant! He didn't want to be attached to Yuuichirou! Why did he ask about his sister? What did he think he could gain from this? Did he think Yuuichirou would act like a total tool so he could hate him even more? Mika doesn't know, but he regrets it! He regrets it so much!  "Mika! Look at me!" Yuu bent over and picked him up and laid him down on the side walk with his back resting on his knees. "Hey, Mika, b-breath, okay?" Yuu quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed 911.  Mika was just trying to hold onto something, anything, but he didn't know what. He felt completely overwhelmed and like he was about to have a heart attack. His heart was beating faster then what he thought possible and his vision was starting to go cloudy.  Yuu swiped his thumbs under Mika's eyes to whip the tears away, and his own tears starting to fall out of panic. He bent over and kissed Mika's forehead when the line picked up. "M-my omega! He's pregnant and, and he's having trouble breathing! I think he's sick! I—" His...? Is that what he said...? Since when was he Yuuichirou's...? Since when did he care so much...? And why did his heart warm up when Yuuichirou kissed him...? Mika didn't know, but it quickly got unimportant as his ears started ringing and his vision slowly went black.  ===============================================================================   Mika woke up in an unfamiliar place. He was covered in wires with a needle poked into his cold hand. Felt drowsy and like he just got whacked in the head with a baseball bat. It left him feeling very heavy and sluggish and it wasn't a good feeling. Mika can't exactly recall how he got in this room, which he assumed was a hospital room, but he did recognize the familiar figure sitting on the chair off to the side.  "Krul," his voice sounded unbelievably hoarse and like he hadn't used it in weeks, but Krul didn't comment on it.  His alpha sister looked up from the book she was reading and gently closed it. "Good morning— well, afternoon now. How are you feeling?" "Shitty." Mika pulled the scratchy hospital blanked further up his body and cuddled up as best as he could. "What happened?" "You fainted.” Krul stood up from her chair and turned the thermostat up. “Yuuichirou was there and called 911. I guess you had a panic attack." Yuuichirou, huh? He can't really remember anything. "Did he go home?" Shaking her head, Krul sat down next to him on the bed, and moved some hair out of his eyes. "No, he just went to get some food from the cafeteria. He's been gone for a while so he should be back soon."  Mika rolled his eyes and turned over onto his side. "When he comes, tell him to leave because I'm sleeping." "I tried to, but he said he wants to make sure you're okay." "I just passed out—" Mika paused when he remembered a very important detail involving himself. He quickly sat up, but vision went blurry and and it felt like he was about to puke, so he slowly laid back down and his vision started to clear.  "Shh, honey, it's okay." Krul rubbed his tummy, then leaned over to give it a kiss. "The baby's okay. You're okay. You just got stressed and I'm sure your lack of breakfast didn't help either." Well, as long as his baby is okay then that's all that matters. But what did he even get stressed out about? Well, he guesses being with Yuuichirou isn't exactly pleasant, but he wouldn't have a panic attack because of that. All he remembers is Yuuichirou making snow bunnies in his yard. Wait, did that actually happen? Yuuichirou couldn't be the type to make snow creatures so that had to have been a dream. But it was the weirdest dream ever. Yuuichirou was acting like he actually cared about something, which was completely bizarre. It had to have been a dream though, because Yuuichirou is an egocentric ass who only thinks about himself.  ===============================================================================   Mika went home the next day and felt completely refreshed and healthy. He ate when he was told, took all the fluids from the IV, and listened to the doctor’s words about eating before he leaves the house and to sit down once he starts to feel uneasy or dizzy. They also told him some healthy remedies for anxiety like calming teas, stress relief lotions, and bath melts.  Yuuichirou brought him the homework he missed from school and according to René, Yuuichirou cussed out some people during lunch, which was apparently very entertaining to watch.  It's been about a week since he's fainted and everything went back normal, except for a few things. Mika didn't know why he was feeling this way, but he felt safe when Yuuichirou tried to hit on him. Before he would have gotten angry when he did that, which it still made him feel that way, but he felt a sense of security. It was strange, but no matter how long Mika racked his brain about it, he couldn't come to a conclusion as to why he was feeling that way. But sometimes, an unpleasant thought would pop in his head, a thought of Yuuichirou acting like he cares about something and it made Mika very uncomfortable and uneasy. Almost like when you read an intense book and you can't stop thinking about it because it was so unsettling. But Yuuichirou acting how he usually does put him at ease.  School was relatively normal. People would whisper things about him throughout the day, but Yuuichirou would say something if he was there, or lacus and René would. He and lacus made up so everything was fine at school. Sure, people may look at him because they're jealous. Or there's the occasional bulling of sticking a piece of paper on his back with the word slut written on it...just little stuff like that. But the students in school weren't cruel enough to actually hurt him because he did have a baby growing in his tummy.  Everything was normal, but Mika couldn't shake this unpleasant feeling, like he's forgotten something very important. His next appointment to check on the baby isn't for a while. He's keeping his health in check. He has all his medicines in case of nausea or heartburn. And he's pregnant so it's not like his heat is coming...Mika didn't know, but it was very unsettling and he didn't like feeling so unsure.  Groaning, Mika rolled over in the warm abyss of his bed to search for his vibrating phone in the pillows and blankets. Once found, he plopped back down in the covers and opened the texts from the group message of him and his two friends.  Lacus: mika~ look wuts all over twitta Mika clicked on the picture lacus sent, it being a photo of Yuuichirou in some type of uniform. He had a dark green, almost brown shirt on and rolled up to his forearms with the top few buttons open and showing his collarbone, and a pair of slick black pants with matching color apron bellow his hips. He was serving people at some sort of café, and damn, did he look fine doing it. He had this flirtatious look in his half lidded eyes as he leaned forward and set the plate of food down on the table. Mika hates himself so much for finding Yuuichirou attractive, but who the hell can blame him? He looks like a fucking sex God and he's sure Yuuichirou is everyone's type.  Mika clicked out of the picture, hearing another text buzz.  René: is that the alpha cafe? The alpha cafe? The one where alphas serve desserts to omegas and betas? Is that where Yuuichirou decided to get a job?!  Lacus: yep get ur lazy ass up. We goin. u to Mika Uh, hell no is he going there! Yuuichirou will never shut up about it and will tease him for weeks! He'll just pretend he's sleeping and hopefully Lacus give up.  Mika threw his phone back on the bed and curled himself in a tighter ball. He's been really sensitive with his movements and is cramping up because of the smallest of motions or even if he just sneezes. It hurts. It hurts really bad and his bed is the comfiest place to be. Not a cafe with all these alphas scents making him react in a way Mika doesn't want to.  Just when Mika decided sleep was the best option, someone slammed his bedroom door open and Mika regrets not installing a lock.  "Mika~" He knew who that voice belonged to. It was Lacus and Mika assumed he was already on his way over before he sent that text. "I know you're awake so don't make me come in there!"  Mika heard footsteps approaching his bed so he quickly sat up and immediately cursed from the pain. "I'm coming!"  Lacus grinned and headed towards the door. "I'll be out here. If you're not out in five, I'm coming back in."  The door clicked behind him and Mika groaned as he slowly made his way to his closet. He pulled his pajamas off and carefully dressed his sensitive body. And with a warm sweater, fleece lined leggings and wool socks on, he left his bedroom and walked to the linen closet to grab a belly warmer. Lacus was waiting in the kitchen with Krul and they talked amongst themselves as Mika heated the belly warmer up in the microwave.  "Okay," sighing, Mika fastened the long blue wrap around his tummy then headed towards the front door. "Let's get this over with." "Don't be like that." Lacus smacked him on the back, and Mika groaned in pain. "Ya know, Yuu might even give us a discount." Mika just slowly sat down on the ground and pulled his fuzzy winter boots on. "I just don't understand why you want to go." Mika glanced up at him. "You're an alpha and it's a cafe for betas and omegas." "René wouldn't force you to go so I have to." Lacus opened the front door and handed Mika his coat, hat, and scarf. "It'll be fun, Mika. Yuu will be surrounded by other omegas so he probably won't even notice us." Why does that annoy him? But Mika just stood up and wrapped his scarf around his neck and slipped his hat over his hair. "I'm ready."  "Wait, mika honey!" Krul came around the corner with her keys and quickly slipped her own coat and boots on. "I'll drive you there. It's cold today."  ===============================================================================   The alpha cafe was extremely crowded. It was a decent sized two story cafe that had a very comfortable atmosphere with orange walls, dark wood furniture and a warm, brick fireplace heating the room up. The was a swirling stair case leading to the second floor, which is where they got seated. They haven't see Yuuichirou yet so Mika hopes they're too late and he already left. But that won't do any good because lacus will make them come back until they see him.  The hostess handed them their menu and a little pamphlet that seemed to tell you about the workers there. Mika skimmed it over until he found Yuu's.  Name: Yuuichirou, feel free to call me Yuu ;) Favorite dessert: strawberry shortcake Why you chose to work at this cafe: I have a little baby on the way and I need to make money to support my child. “Woah, he talked about your kid in—“ Renè smacked Lacus on the arm. “Will you shut up for once?” “Ow...What I do?” Mika quickly drowned out their bickering and glanced around the cafe, listening to the conversations around him.  "Can you believe Yuu has a baby?" "I know! There's a lucky person out there. Make me jealous." "Yeah, I feel bad though. I think I'll leave an extra tip." "Good idea." Mika glanced over at another table, his eyebrow twitching in irritation.  "Can you believe we got Yuu's number? A man with a child is just so sexy." "Yuu is my dream guy. He's just so sweet, but gets so embarrassed when he talks about his baby." What. The. Fuck.  Is Yuu doing what Mika thinks he is? He's using their child to make some extra cash and to get some extra ass?! He is so dead. So fucking dead.  "Hi!" Mika glanced up at their server who, thankfully, wasn't Yuuichirou. He was attractive and smelt good, but Mika was far too pissed to give a damn about that. "Can I start you guys off with something to drink? I recommend--" "Hold on." Mika put one finger up. "Is Yuuichirou still here?" The server seemed to release a somewhat annoyed scent, but he smiled and pulled the booklet of paper and pen he was holding down to his side. "Yuu is in the back, but can I take your order?" "Can you tell him Mika's here and to get his ass out here, please? Thank you."  The man seemed shocked for a moment, but smiled genuinely, and left with a yes. Mika tapped his foot on the ground and glared at the door Yuuichirou will be coming out of, and as soon as they made eye contact, Mika almost flinched because of how pissed Yuuichirou looked.  Yuu quickly walked over and he had some sort of shirt in his hand. "What are you doing here?"  Yuuichirou might be pissed, but Mika was even more so. Why the hell was he mad at him? He's the one using their baby as a way to pick up girls and earn some extra cash. "What is this?" Mika asked, pointing to Yuu's bio. "You're taking advantage of our child and she's not even born yet! Are you gonna take her to a park to just pick up some single mother?! Or are gonna ruin a perfectly good marriage because you can't keep it in your pants!" Everyone on the second floor was looking at them now, but Mika didn't care. "You're such an asshole! How could you use our child like that?! She’s not some object you use to find a booty call! She’s a person that we made and you're such a douchebag for using her like this!" "I-I'm sorry. I'll change it, okay? Im really sorry. You are completely right. But Mika, I don't like you being here."  Yuu bent over and started rubbing his shirt on Mika's hair, but Mika slapped his hand away. "Why do you care?! I'm not your omega and I don't want to be! You have no right to rub your scent all over me like that!" "Mika—" "No! Just stop talking! You're an egocentric ass who only cares about yourself!" Right? That's what Yuu is, right? That's the only reason to explain it. But then why does Yuu look so sad? Why does it look like he's about to cry? Why is he so protective of him? It doesn’t make sense! "Mika, I'm sorry, okay?" Yuu squatted down and placed his hands on Mika's belly. "I care about our baby. I care about you. I know I'm an asshole, but I never meant to make you this angry at me. I can deal with how it usually is, but this...this is too much. I don't want you to actually hate me." Mika sniffled and whipped his tears away. "...I've always hated you."    ...Right? ***** Jealousy ***** Chapter Summary shit just gets worse Chapter Notes i updated in less than a month! yay, praise me!! Let’s just say Yuu's evening went to shit. Some asshat thought it'd be a great fucking idea to videotape his and Mika's whole conversation at the cafe and post it to Twitter. And this was bad thing in Yuu's head for a couple of reasons. That conversation wasn't meant for the public eye. Yes, it happened at a public place, but the whole school didn't actually need to see the whole thing go down. Yuu was expecting rumors around the school, but he completely lost face when everyone saw Mika reject him like that, and he cared about his appearances. And now, all these other alphas are coming out and claiming that they'd treat Mika so much better, that they'd never do what he did. And that seriously pissed Yuu off. No one was allowed to touch Mika but him, so now that all these alphas are claiming that they'd support Mika and his baby, it made Yuu enraged. Mika is his, and their child is his. He will never allow another alphas hands to touch either of them. It makes Yuu's mind immediately go to murder with all these people claiming they'll take care of Mika during his pregnancy. They don't know how to. Yuu's read all sorts of parenting articles on how to take care of your omega during pregnancy emotionally, physically, and sexually. He's the only one qualified to take care of Mika because he will always be the one with the strongest bond with his baby. No one can replace him.  But the most annoying thing that happened to him was over twitter. A couple of the betas were saying that Mika over reacted and that he shouldn't have yelled at him like that. It really made Yuu question the type of people he's associating himself with. Mika had every right to be pissed. He didn't think about Mika's feelings or his babies and he felt completely guilty. And those betas who were blaming Mika for something he did wrong, made Yuu go apeshit. He may care about his appearances, but he wasn't douchey enough to let that shit slide, and he called those bitches out on Twitter. Mika has done nothing wrong. He's the one who keeps making mistake, after mistake and Mika could have a miscarriage or their baby could get hurt because of how stressed Mika is, and it's all his fault... Feeling depressed and sorry for himself, he glared at his history textbook with immense hatred for his life. He knows he shouldn't feel sorry for himself. Everything is his fault, up to the very beginning of when he didn't wear a condom while having sex with Mika. Everything was going perfectly before that little fuck up, but Yuu couldn't find himself being upset about it. If anything, he's excited to be a dad. He wants to show his baby the world and watch them grow up. He wants his baby to see him as a good parent and a role model, but he won't get those things with how he's acting.  It was now lunch break and Yuu couldn't help but slump down in his desk and sadly eat his sandwich like the depressed fagot he is. His friends had no pity for him and have always taken Mika's side with this whole thing. He just needs to forget. He needs a distraction, so Yuu gladly welcomed it when one finally showed up.  "Yuu." He plopped his head up from his desk, the girl casually standing there being one of his fuck buddies. She was one of his "friends" that he found tolerable and didn't actually mind talking to. She has this "I don't give a fuck" attitude and her sense of style copied that too. One reason he actually likes this girl was because she didn't want to be more then friends with him. She was a senior and just enjoyed a good fuck, just like him, so they got along well. She does have a thing for chewing bubble gum though, so he never let her mouth near his cock. They have sex on a regular basis and their bodies were compatible so she knew what he liked and he knew what she liked. They were a good match sexually. She was the only girl in his contacts that he would actually text and ask her to meet up with him and he even saved her number by her real name. He wouldn't go as far as to call them friends, but they were definitely more than his usual fuck buddy relationships.  "Hey, Aoi." Placing a hand on his desk, she dragged the other hands pointer finger along his sharp jaw and popped popped her bubble gum.. "You in the mood?" Yuu thought for a moment, but it didn’t take him long to decide. "Sure-" "Yuu san." Shinoa cut off as she stood from her desk and situated herself next to Aoi. "Do you want to make things worse than they already are?" Yuu looked at Shinoa as if she was speaking gibberish. "What are you talking about? Mika obviously doesn't care if I sleep around." His voice sounded almost sad, and that thought made Yuu even more sure with his decision. "Come on Aoi. Let's go."  She nodded and Yuu stood up to follow, but Shinoa grabbed his arm. "Yuu, don't be an idiot. Mika obviously cares." Yuu just shook her hand off and followed Aoi to the door. Yeah right Mika cares. He rejected his scenting and pushed him away. Mika doesn't care who he sleeps with, and that made his heart ache for some reason. It was like everything was in slow motion as Yuu walked across the front of the classroom and observed Mika. He was eating-- no, picking at his lunch and sadly looking down at his lap. He even looked cute when he was upset, but why? Why was Mika so sad? They haven't even spoken since the incident at the cafe yesterday, so Mika should be happy because he's not talking to him. Mika was always happy that way, so why should now be any different? Yuu blankly watched the blonde looked up from his lunch and their eyes locked. Mika glanced between him and Aoi, and look of utter heartbreak crashed down on him as his broken eyes stared back him. The bright blue turned to a muted, almost grey color, but they still stared at him desperately, like he was calling out to him for something…anything, but Yuu didn't know what. So he just turned his head away and excited the classroom with Aoi. ===============================================================================   Mika didn't know what to expect. He thought Yuuichirou would apologize like crazy, he'd forgive him for some reason, and they'd be back to how they usually were. Mika was even hopeful and thought something might even change for the better. Maybe Yuuichirou would stop having sex with other people? But that theory was just proven wrong. This is even worse than before and he can't stand it.  He just couldn’t stop the tears from falling, and it was almost made Mika laugh to watch the salty liquid absorb into nothing on his leggings, like it was never even there. Isn’t water such an amazing thing? Everything needs water. Where there’s water there’s life, but it can be gone in an instant. It evaporates in the air, leaving the life there dry and dead. Or it flows away to find somewhere better, someone better to share its life with. Or sometimes it’s generous and falls from the sky, giving its love to everyone and causing all sorts of happiness. Yuuichirou is like water. He's a free spirit who can't be stopped or influenced by anything. He does what he wants and no one can stop him. And Mika’s the one who’s trying to control it, reaching up to the sky and trying to will the rain to fall, but it never will. And even if it does, who’s to say he won’t leave and find someone better to share his life with? Yuu is gone. He's left to have sex with someone else…like Mika never mattered to begin with.  Not wanting to depress himself anymore, Mika quickly gathered his things and shoved his coat, hat and scarf on.  "Mika?" René grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?" "I-I don't know." He stood up and threw his bag over his shoulder. "I just need to get away." Mika didn't know why he was feeling this way, why was he reacting like this. Why did he care if Yuuichirou had sex with someone else? It never bothered him before, so why now? "I'll come with you." Lacus said, standing up as well.  "No. I-I just need to think by myself." Mika sniffled, passing through the aisle and out of the class room.  He booked it through the hallway, keeping his head low and mind distracted, but that was hard to do. Yuu was with Aoi, the beta he's closest with when it comes to sex, and Mika had an indescribable feeling in his throat. He knows what they're doing, where they're doing it. He could literally go to the exact same place him and Yuuichirou had sex and they'd be doing the same thing right now. Fucking her, touching her, pleasuring her, and she gets to do the same to him. She gets to hear his lustful voice, touch him, kiss him...Why did that make him feel so numb? Why is this bothering him? It never did before. He knew Yuuichirou was having sex with other people and he never cared so why now? Yuuichirou is an asshole. He's an asshole who doesn't care about anything but himself, so why was he so upset at the cafe? Why does he care when other alphas want him? Yuuichirou is supposed to be an asshole, he's supposed to be his enemy, so why is Mika doubting himself?  As soon as he made it outside, Mika burst into tears as sob, after sob, after sob came out. He collapsed on the snowy cement and curled himself in a ball to try and stop this feeling in his chest. But what was it? What is this feeling? Why was he being so weak? Mikaela Shindo isn’t weak so why has he been so emotional recently? He just couldn't control his emotions at all and Mika hates it. He hates feeling so out of control. His hormones are crazy and he can't stop crying, but Mika has this uncontrollable thirst for a chocolate frosty from Wendy's. He feels like everything will be better if he finds that chocolate frosty...and French fries. He really wants to dip some French fries in that shit.  Whipping his tears away, Mika forced himself up off the cement and patted the snow off his leggings, then made his way to Wendy's. He could ask Krul to leave work and come get him, but he doesn't want her to worry. Krul has her own problems and he's just being whiny so he doesn't need to complain to her.  He treaded through the snow, his dazed eyes looking at nothing in particular. He felt like a hollow shell of a human being as he absentmindedly watched the cars pass by or the birds fly above. Everything looked grey and lifeless. People walked past him, smiling and laughing with each other, but Mika felt like he couldn’t breathe. His lungs felt heavy, like he had to work way too hard to take one simple breath. Over and over, he repeated his motions, the crunching of snow beneath his feet blurring in his ears and molding into mumbles. What was he doing? Why was he acting so depressed? It was just Yuuichirou, an asshole prick who's far too cocky to be someone Mika gets influenced by. The only excuse Mika can come up with was his pregnancy was affecting him. He must be feeling this way because Yuuichirou is the father of his child so they're connected now. Whether he likes it or not, it was true. They now have something in common, and that's their baby so that has to be why Mika's feeling this way. Why he cares that Yuuichirou is having sex with another person right now as he walks down the street to go get Wendy's all by himself.  More tears couldn't help but slip down his cheeks, and he quickly whipped them away, along with the feelings of finding a mate. He's an unpaired omega with a baby. No one will want him anymore. He’ll be alone for the rest of his life while he watches Yuuichirou sleep around with whoever he wants. Why did that make him feel so sad? Just as he was about to turn the corner, someone crashed into, along with the strong scent of alcohol. "Hey." Mika popped his head up, and immediately took a step back at the sight before him. There was middle aged alpha in front of him. He looked very...unstable as he smoked a cigarette and held a practically empty bottle of whisky in his hand.  "Um, c-can I help you?" Mika took another step back, but the man just took a larger one forward.  "Yeah." The man confidently tilted his chin back and reached out to grab him, but Mika stepped farther back. "P-please." He held his hands over his tummy. "I-I'm pregnant and...and my baby..." "More reason to take you." The man slurred as he grabbed Mika's wrist. "Can't get pregnant if ya already are." Mika's heart was working overtime as the blood in his ears pounded at a rapid pace. "S-stop! I don't want to!" Mika tried to tug his hand away, but the man had a strong grip. He started dragging him off somewhere and Mika hastily looked around for someone, anyone, but there wasn't a soul in sight! "Let go of me!" This is just an awful day. Yuuichirou picked some girl over him, he doesn't even know why he's crying, and now he's about to get raped. Mika grew up reading such happy tails of princes and princesses. The prince would save his princess from wrenched witch who cast an evil spell on her. Story, after story was all the same. It was repetitive and basic, but Mika found himself believing that he had a prince charming and that prince would save him from all his troubles. So where the hell is his prince? Why can't he find him? He's been waiting far too long! And why does the prince in his head have raven hair, a muscular build, and the most beautiful pair of Emerald eyes he's seen? Why does his Prince Charming sound and smell so perfect? Why does his Prince Charming love to tease him and pick on him? Why is his Prince Charming Yuuichirou when he's nowhere to be seen and with some other girl?! Why?! Mika's muscles relaxed as he gave up all hope. He was getting raped and there's nothing he can do about. The only thing he can pray for is his baby’s safety. Hopefully the guy isn’t an ass and is nicer on him. If he got raped, and lost his baby, Mika doesn’t know what he’d do. Mika’s not weak, he's not submissive, but there’s only so much he can do…He's just an omega and Yuuichirou was supposed to be the one to take care of him. So where are you, Yuuichirou? Yuu… "Yuu chan..." Mika then got pulled from the man’s grasp and into someone's arms. Mika sighed in relief and quickly looked up, excited that someone saved him and it had to be Yuu! He must not have had sex with that girl and went and found him! That had to be it! But...Mika didn't recognize this man.  "What are you doing?" He asked, eyes narrowing at the much older alpha.  "N-nothing."  "Get lost before I call the police." Scuffing, the criminal staggered off somewhere, and Mika finally released the breath he seemed to be holding. "Are you alright?" "Y-yeah." Mika pulled away and placed his hands on his belly to try and give some sort of apology to his baby. “I’m sorry.” He whispered. “I’m really sorry.” “It’s not your fault.” The stranger said, and Mika finally looked up to properly address the alpha stranger. He looked vaguely familiar, but the guy was a few years older so he wouldn’t have seen him at school. He was tall, taller than Yuu with good sized build and large shoulders. His hair was auburn and had those side swooped bangs with a little feather hair piece hanging in front of his left ear. His eyes were a dark chocolate brown flecks gold like Yuuichirou’s. He was defiantly attractive and smelt good. "Um, thank you." The man smiled. "No problem. My names Sora, and you're Mika, right?" Mika took another step back, unsure why this guy knew him, and knowing his luck, he just saved him to take him for himself. But the guy quickly put both hands up in surrender. "Don't worry. I work at the alpha cafe and was there when you cussed out Yuu." Oh yeah. He was the waiter who got Yuuichirou for him. "I remember." Mika awkwardly played with his coat sleeve before looking back up at him and turned on his heal. "Well, thank you again." "Wait, where are you going?" He asked. "Shouldn't you be at school?" School...where Yuu is. Where he fucked another girl and should be back at class now. What is he thinking when he sees him gone? Does he feel guilty? Does he even care? "I..." Mika didn't know what to say. He didn't know this guy and he didn't exactly know why he was being so nice to him. Mika just wanted his chocolate frosty and French fries to drown away his feelings. "I left." He placed a hand on his hip. "And may I ask why?" "What are you, my mom?" Mika glared at him. "I just want a chocolate frosty from Wendy's, so I'll be on my way." Mika resumed his destination to Wendy’s, but a large hand wrapped around his wrist.  "Are you kidding me? Some guy almost took you away and you're going off on your own again?"  "Yep." Mika snatched his wrist back and continued walking.  The guy scuffed, but followed Mika. "I could tell you were stubborn, but this is something else." Mika ignored him. If he wants to follow him, he doesn't care. Sure, you're probably thinking Mika's being a bit reckless, but his brain isn't exactly functioning how it usually would. He just had a dangerous situation happen to him and he's still on autopilot. Any sane person in his situation would call Krul and have her pick him up, but Mika's mind was set on a chocolate frosty and he will get one.  But despite having something so dangerous happen to him, Mika felt strangely at peace. Maybe it made him realize that his situation with Yuuichirou wasn’t that bad. It could be worse…So Mika just filled his mind with the beautiful chocolate frosty his mouth is literally watering for. And just when Mika completely forgot about Yuuichirou, his phone started vibrating with his contact name lighting up on his screen. Mika went into panic. What does he want? What should he say? Should he just ignore it? Yes, he should. Yuu isn’t worth his time. He doesn’t need to hear his excuses. But despite that, Mika found his finger lingering over the answer button, until he shut his eyes and picked up the call. "H-hello?" "Mika...” Yuu breathed. “Why aren't you at school?" "I'm uh—" Mika glanced behind him to look at his little friend, when a wonderful little idea popped in his head. "I'm with another alpha." Silence. Yuuichirou was silent. Mika could practically feel his fury bubble up, but he must be holding himself back by his response. "Who. Where." His voice was a growl and Mika couldn't help but smirk.  "I left school to meet with him and his name is—" Mika turned around, and held his hand on the speaker. "What's your name again?" "Sora." Sighing, he caught up with Mika and walked next to him. "What are you doing?" Mika just ignored him and spoke in the phone again. "He's names Sora. Isn't his name just so sexy? Waaay sexier than Yuuichirou." That's a lie. Mika thinks Yuu's name fits him well and that it's a very sexy name, but he'd never tell him that.  "What's that mean?" Mika heard Yuu curse and shuffle around. "My name is sexy. It means courageous while Sora means the fucking sky. It's a girls name, too! That's not sexy!"  "Sora honey," Mika turned towards the alpha and ran his hand up and down his arm. "Yuu thinks your name is girly, but that doesn't matter to me. It's sexy in my eyes." Sora looked nothing but entertained and wrapped an arm around Mika's waist. "Thanks baby, I like your name too."  "Mika!" Yuu was yelling and it made Mika feel a million times better that he was so pissed. "Where are you?! How old is he?! There’s no Sora at our school!" Mika turned towards Sora again and held his hand on the speaker. “How old are you?” “21. I’m in college.” Mika smirked at his answer. “He’s so mature, Yuu chan. He's 21 and a college student.” “What?!” Yuu cursed again. “That’s way too old Mika! You should date someone your own age like me!” W-what? Did…did he just say what Mika thinks he did? Did Yuuichirou Hyakuya bring himself down and just say that they should date? Why did that make him so happy? Why does his heart feel so warm? But then there was an anger that bubbled up in his chest. Why should Yuuichirou get to control who he dates? He never tries to control Yuu’s partners, so why does Yuuichirou get to do all this when Mika has no say in his relationships! “And what? Are you saying you’ve never fucked a 21 year old?” Silence again, and this time, it made Mika angry. Of course he's had sex with a college student! He's had sex with practically everyone! “Let me ask you this…What’s the oldest person you’ve fucked? I’m sure it’s not 21, so quite being such a fucking hypocrite!” Mika snorted as Yuuichirou changed the subject completely. “Where are you Mika? I-I wanna talk.” "Sorry, Yuu chan. I'm having some bad cravings right now and Sora is getting me my food. It's too bad you're not here since you're the father of my baby." "Well how the hell was I supposed to know you were having cravings!" "Oh, that's right...maybe if you weren't so busy fucking Aoi, you would have been there to know!" Yuu was silent again, and this time, it made Mika nervous. What was he thinking?  "Is that all this is about?" "A-all?" Mika repeated. "How come I can't even talk to another alpha, but you can fuck whoever you want?! That's not fair, Yuu!" "Since when do you care?! Don't you hate me?!" That's…a good point. He's supposed hate Yuu so why is he doing this? He never would have cared before. He wouldn't have even had this conversation with him to begin with and just ignored the call...and yet, he took it and is going far enough to lie about his relationship with a complete stranger just to make Yuu jealous. Why was he doing this? But Mika can't stop himself. Lies are spewing out and he can't control it.  "Whatever! It doesn't matter! I have Sora so I don't need you!" Pulling the phone from his ear, Mika slammed the end call button and shoved the device back in his pocket. He feels like shit and he has a terrible headache, but that chocolate frosty seems like it'll heal all his problems. Mika didn’t want to think about what he just did, but the constant vibration in his pocket made it hard to forget. He just lied to make Yuuichirou jealous, but Mika has no intention of stopping. "Uh, Mika?"  "What?" Mika brought a hand to his temple and massaged that shit. "By the way, I'm gonna need your number."  Sora laughed and finally removed his hand from around Mika's waist. “You sure you aren’t some stalker who’s making up stories to get close to me?” Mika looked up at the alpha with a ‘why the fuck would I do that?’ face. “Wow.” Sora chuckled. “That actually offends me.” “I’m sorry.” Giggling, Mika moved a strand of hair behind his ear, and Sora took the time to admire Mika and all his beauty. Anyone can tell that Mika looks like an angle. Soft features, cute little nose, and beautiful skin. His adorable choice of attire didn’t help either with his knitted, cream colored infinity scarf, matching slouchy hat with a fuzzy, tan puff ball at the top, and light brown parka with a fur hood. He also seems to be smaller then he actually is from the oversized coat he wore and big, furry winter boots. It was just funny that this little fluff ball of a person was the exact opposite of what one may think from the outside. "Ya know,” Sora started. “You sure aren't the usual omega. You're probably the most beautiful person I’ve seen, but you're so feisty.” Blushing, Mika shyly looked down at the snow on the ground, and Sora smiled at the little cutie finally showing a more omega like emotion. "Y-yeah, Yuu said something similar when we had sex." Sighing, Sora furrowed his brow and looked away from Mika to hide his eye roll. "Why is he so special to you?" Mika looked up at Sora with a quizzical expression. "He's not special." "Are you sure? I mean, he's obviously the reason why you're so upset, but you just brought him back up in our conversation."  "He's not." Mika slowly pulled his phone out of his pocket, eyes softening at the four missed calls and 27 unread messages. "He's not special." "Whatever you say." ===============================================================================   Yuu had work right after school, so he couldn’t see Mika as quickly as he hoped. He wanted to talk to him. If Mika was actually jealous of him and didn’t want him sleeping around then he’d honestly stop. But apparently Mika has his own intentions and is dating a fucking college student when Mika’s only 16. That shits illegal and this Sora guy could get arrested! Sure, Yuu has slept with people well over his age, but that’s different! He’s an alpha where Mika is an omega! Yuu can't trust some stranger to take care of Mika or his baby, so Yuu will never accept this relationship! Who was this Sora guy anyways? He was probably creepy going after someone so much younger than him. Like what the hell? Pedophilia anyone? Just fuck the fuck off and find someone your own age, douchebag. And what the hell is up with the name Sora anyways? Mika thinks it’s sexy? Apparently Mika needs some fucking glasses because he is a walking definition sexy with a fucking tongue piercing, and he knows how to use that shit! Yuu grumbled under his breath as he entered the back of the café and went to the changing room. It was fairly large with long, metal lockers and a couple benches in the middle. He was stripping his shirt when another person entered the lock room. Yuu looked at him a little funny as the guy glared at him, then it hit him… Yuu’s nostrils flared and he stalked forward to grab the slightly taller male by the collar of his coat. “What’s your name.” He snarled, pupils dilated as the distinct scent of his omega lingers off the male’s body. “Shouldn’t you know the name of your coworkers, Yuu?” Smirking, Sora pulled his collar out of Yuu’s grip and placed a hand on his hip. “My names Sora, nice ta meet—“ Yuu growled and cut him off with a right hook to his cheek. Sora staggered backwards before standing up and replacing his pained face with another smirk. “Awh, someone jealous.” “Shut the fuck up.” Yuu shook the pain out of his fist. “Don’t you dare touch him, touch my baby or you’ll fucking regret it.” “And what’re you gonna do? Mika obviously choose— woah!“ Yuu swung another fist, but Sora dodged it and landed a knee to Yuu’s gut. Yuu coughed, but didn’t waste another second and threw an uppercut to Sora’s chin. “Fuck you! Mika is my omega so back the fuck off ya pedophile!” “Really?” Sora spit a bit of blood onto the rubber mats on the ground. “I didn’t know. Mika didn’t even mention you until that call. You must not be very important to him.” “You don’t think I know that?!” Sora was so shocked by Yuu’s answer that he didn’t dodge the punch to the same cheek as before. Yuus eyes were glowing with fury as he pointed at the older male. “I know I’m not important to Mika! You don’t need to brag about it, but the last thing I’ll fucking do is let you anywhere near my baby because of you’re a gross as pedo tendencies!” Yuu punched him one last time before scuffing and grabbing his stuff. “Fuck you, asshole.” Once Sora heard the door to the exit shut and recovered from his injuries, he whipped the blood off his lip with the back of his hand and sat down on the bench. “Oh it’s on Hyakuya.” ***** Denial ***** Chapter Summary ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Chapter Notes ahem, may i have your attention please? this shits about to be long and i usually say like nothing at the beginning so please read. first, id like to say sorry. this fic actually really stresses me out. its my most popular one so i want it to be perfect and always end up second guessing my decisions. ive probably written three different ways i could have taken this chapter so i just want this fic to have no mistakes unlike my others so im sorry this took so long. ive been stressing this chapter and really didnt know where i wanted to take it but this is what i went with. so if youd please comment and tell me what you think of this chapter. feedback means alot to me. and that brings me to my second thing which is comments. im really sorry im not responding to all of them. im honestly so bad at doing it. ill get an email saying i have a comment and get so fucking ecstatic reading it. like thats the first thing i do when i wake up, check to see if i got any comments. but ill be like "ill respond later" then forget until three days later and im like shit i cant do it now. that person commented a week ago. i promise ill respond to comments so im really sorry. umm i had more...oh, merry christmas! i hope everyones holidays are good! and quick shout out to those two people who commented on my fic last nighht because this chapter would have not been posted without them. thank you guys for being patient with me. have fun! Don't ask Mika how he got here because he doesn't even know himself. Yuu had been apologizing all week about the incident with Aoi. Mika started off ignoring him and telling him to just go away, but as the days went by, Mika got lost...Lost by the way Yuu spoke, how his voice traveled from his lips, or how he'd swallow after he finished speaking. He got lost in his eyes, and how he could stare at them all day and always find something new about them, how his eyelashes cured and blinked so elegantly, bringing along a sparkle in his eyes with the new found moisture. And he got lost in the bronze glow of Yuu's skin that made it glisten so beautifully or how his nose scrunched and cheeks tinted in the cold. He got lost... And once Mika realized they had left school completely and found their way into some house, it was too late. There was already a little girl jumping into Yuu's arms as he kneeled down to the ground. He was still too focused on Yuu to pay attention to the girl or where they were. All he saw was how happy Yuu looked. His smile radiated of his lips and filled Mika with this warmth. He wasn't smirking like usual. He looked genuinely happy being next to this little girl because his eyes were so bright, brighter then Mika had ever seen, and he treated this girl with such care.  All the words spoken around him were a blur. They molded together and formed incoherent sentences that Mika couldn't register. He was just swallowing up Yuu's appearance and movements. Or, that is until Yuu picked the small girl up and she reached a small hand out to touch his hair.  "You are the most pretty boy I have ever seen!"  Mika blushed a bit and grazed his fingers on the back of her palm. "Thank you."  Now that Mika was looking at the girl, his eyes were finding similarities between her and Yuu. They looked alike, but very different. For one, their eye and hair color. Yuu's eyes were green, but this girls were a deep brown that matched her hair that was braided over her small shoulder and tied with a big, pink scrunchy. The colors of their features were different, but their shapes were the same. They had the same cute nose, curly lashes, and face shape, and she had his smile. And what a beautiful smile that is.  "You are very welcome!" She beamed. The girl then turned to Yuu and pointed down the hall and over to a table that seemed to have paintings scattered across the surface. "Niichan, let's go over there! I want to show you my pictures!" Niichan...so this is Yuu's sister. He can definitely see the similarities. Yuu said they have different omega mothers so they must have gotten their different hair and eye colors from opposite parents.  "Okay, okay." Yuu giggled and set Akane down to pull his shoes and coat off, and Mika did the same as well. Yuu put their stuff in its rightful place, then grabbed Mika's hand to pull him to the table. "Come on."  Mika still didn't fully understand what was happening, but this must be Yuu's house. It was big, and that was an understatement. It had high ceilings, brick walls, and dark furniture that looked masculinely elegant. What did Guren do again? Well, Mika never knew the answer, but he would really like to because they were loaded. The house was nice, but it still had that manly character. Guren is a single father so it'd make sense that it wasn't a mansion full of lush furniture and marble counter tops. But even though it was a nice house, it still looked lived in. There were belongings scattered across the place and toys sprawled out onto the floor, the fridge was full of pictures and drawings Akane made, and it wasn’t perfectly kept up. It was a nice place, but it looked like a home. A place where family could gather and have a good time together.  But the question is how did he get here? Yuu must have wanted him to meet Akane and that's why he's here, but Mika doesn't remember anything...Except Yuu, and how soft his skin looked or how his jaw moved when he spoke. Or how big his hand looked compared to his own or— Mika snapped back as Yuu picked up the crafts that Akane made that day and smiled at the scribbles on the paper. "What's this?" He asked as he bent over to show her the picture.  "That is a penguin eating a zucchini. Duh, Niichan!" Yuu snorted. "How was I supposed to know that? Who the hell draws a penguin eating a zucchini?"  Akane popped her head up to look at Mika, then back at Yuu again. "Quarter! Put a quarter in the swear jar!" "Shit. I will later. Remind me again tonight." "Niichan!" She giggled, furrowing her tiny brows and stomping her feet. "You did it again!" Yuu snapped his fingers together in a swoop. "Whoopsies." "You are so silly, Niichan!" Akane then popped her head up again as she seemed to remember something, and ran over to Mika to wrap her tiny fingers around two of his, and pull him through the house. They entered the hallway and she took him to a beautifully hand painted door with flowers and sparkly swirls surrounding the words "Her Highness' Toy Room". She opened the door, revealing a pink and silver kingdom with huge Windows surrounded by brick castle walls. The doorway opened up to a ladder, leading to a loft full of pillows, stuffed animals, and a light pink slide leading back down to the ground. Off to the left side of the ladder was a small table and tons of silver painted drawers full of different art supplies like markers, beads, and glitter pens, and behind the ladder and under the loft was a huge playhouse set. There was a kitchen with retro pink appliances and real marble counter tops, a matching pink washer and dryer, and a set of cleaning tools with a mop, broom and vacuum. And to the right, was tall book shelves full of different toys and books, and a huge Barbie house that looked entirely magnificent with the smallest of details etched into every piece of wood.  "Look, this is the kitchen!" She pulled him over to the pink, retro looking play set and looked up at him with happy eyes. "I play here lots and make dinner! See?" She let go of Mika's hand and grabbed a little stainless steel saucepan from a drawer. "Hey, um..." Her big eyes looked up at him again. "Hey mr, what's your name?" Before Mika could answer, Yuu spoke up from behind him. "His name is Michael." M-Michael?  "Michael!" She pointed over to the play fridge. "Can you get the carrots out, please?" She asked. "And Niichan, you sit on the chair and wait for dinner to be ready."  "Awh, but what if I wanna play too?" Yuu pouted.  "No! The wife makes the husbands dinner so you go watch sports!" Yuu pouted again before sitting in the small beanbag chair in front of the tv, then raised a brow in question. "What does that make Mik— I mean, Michael then?"  "He's our kid who's..." She turned her head towards Mika and tugged on his sleeve. "How old do you wanna be? And what's your name?"  "Umm," she means play age and name right? "My names uh, Tyler and I'm 9 years old."  Akane nodded and continued preparing for dinner. "You can think for longer if you want. It's always hard to pick your name. I always end up changing it."  "Yeah." Yuu groaned from across the room. "I always get yelled at when I forget she changed it." "Yuu! You're supposed to be watching sports!" "Sorry, honey..." Mika giggled at Yuu getting bossed around by a five year old and how he played along like this. He even pouted about having to watch tv in the little beanbag chair across the room. He looked so big in the pink chair so Mika couldn't help but laugh. Figuring he should play along as well, Mika kneeled down next to Akane, and opened the round, retro fridge. There was everything. Milk, yogurt, fruits, veggies, condiments, meat...Just everything. But Mika grabbed the carrots that seemed to be held together by velcro, and set them on the counter. "What are we making?" "Curry. It's Niichan's favorite." Akane picked up the carrots and a wooden knife, then started to cut the carrots into pieces on the cutting board. "Hey, did you know Niichan is having a baby? He says I'll be an auntie! Maybe the baby will make dinner with me too!" A small smile formed across Mika's lips, and he held a hand over his tummy to send warmth to his baby. It's not just him who thinks about her. Even little Akane is excited to see their baby, and he's sure she'll be a good aunt and keeps her big brother in check. "Hey, Akane...what do you think a good name for your Niichan's baby would be?" "Mmm, if it's a girl, I like princess!" "Princess?" Mika giggled.  "Yeah..." She frowned and looked down at the wooden cutting board. "You know...Niichan will spoil the baby like he spoils me..." Mika tilted his head to the side to look at the girl curiously. "Does that upset you?"  "No," she yawned and rubbed her eyes a bit with her tiny fists. "It's just that I've always been Niichans favorite, but I have to share now..." "Hmm," Mika thought for a moment before answering. "I'm sure your big brother will love you just as much. And with this baby, comes new love." Akane looked at him and raised a small brow. "Well, you see, babies don't just get love, they give love too." Mika paused and looked behind him to ask Yuu's permission, and Yuu smiled and gave a quick nod, Mika sending one back. He took Akane's hand and guided it to his tummy, and pulled his oversized sweater up to revival the small bump. "My real name is Mika, and in here is your little niece or nephew growing."  Akane's eyes widened, and she placed both hands on his tummy. "T-the babies in there?" "Mhmm," He nodded. "She's four months old now." "W-wait!" Akane looked up at Mika with an angry expression. "Niichan said your name is Michael! M-Mika is supposed to be my enemy!"  At this point, Yuu walked over to the two of them and sat behind Akane with his arms open for her. "Com'er." She shook her head and backed up into the counter as tears threatened to fall down her puffed out cheeks. "Akane..." Yuu frowned, and reached out to grab her, but she ran past him and out of the room.  "Papa!"  Mika watched Akane leave with a hurt expression, when he looked over at Yuu. He had a very sad look on his face. Mika has never seen him looking so vulnerable. And unlike the times in the past, he stayed looking that way. He didn’t just brush off his feelings and start hitting on him like something didn’t just upset him. He kept his long face, even when he looked up at Mika. “I’m sorry.” Mika’s eyes softened and he had the urge to comfort Yuu. To wrap his arms around him and tell him it’ll be okay. Mika didn’t exactly know why Akane rejected both of them like that, but knowing how close Akane and Yuu are, it must have made him very lonely.  "What happened?" "You've done nothing wrong." Yuu slowly stood up, and Mika did as well, but they just stood there. Yuu didn’t lead him somewhere or try anything indecent. And something deep within Mika seemed to bloom. His heart felt warm and tingly, despite something so upsetting just happened. Mika didn’t know why he had this urge or why he didn’t try to stop it, but Mika reached a hand to Yuu’s and squeezed it with reassurance. Yuu looked shocked at first, which caused Mika to realize wheat he just did. He pulled away, but Yuu just grabbed it again and intertwined their fingers. Mika expected Yuu to try something, to pull him close and grope him or something, but Yuu just kept his head lowered, then finally started to speak again. "Akane and I are very protective of each other, and she doesn't like that there's new people in my life…How her brain sees it, is mommies and daddies make babies so you're the mommy of my baby. She's afraid you're going to take me away." Oh, Mika gets it. All they've had is each other, so she's scared. Mika doesn't plan on taking Yuu away from her though. No way in hell he would do that because Yuu is an asshole. He might care for his little sister, but that doesn't mean he cares for anyone else. He's a jerk, but...but as he gets to learn more about him, Mika can't help but want to see more of this soft side of him, and maybe be one of the people Yuu is soft to... No! Mika whacked himself on the arm. Whatever his brain thought just now was a lie. He doesn't want to learn anything about him, he doesn't want to be one of those special things to Yuu because he's a manwhore who can't keep it in his pants. Because Yuu is an asshole. So why is he holding his hand? Why did he come here? Why did he allow himself to be taken to Yuu's home? Yuuichirou Hyakuya, the same person that was sleeping with some other girl while he was almost getting raped. The same person that beat up Sora because he isn't his, because he isn't Yuu's. So why did he forgive him so easily? Why is he giving him so many second chances? And why is he still with him here right now, despite these thoughts running through his head? Why can't he speak these damn thoughts? Mika isn't submissive. He isn't the type to go along with something because it's what everyone else is doing. He states his opinion so why? Why is he just blindly following him? He didn’t before. He would tell Yuu to fuck off everyday so what’s changed him? Why is he still allowing this to occur? “I’m sorry, Mika, but I gotta go find her.” Perfect! Yuu wants him to leave! He can get away from him and never have to learn another new thing about him ever again! Mika nodded and followed Yuu out of the room and two the front door again. Mika was ready to ask Yuu to get his bag out of the front hall closet, but Yuu started walking up the stairs. Mika looked at Yuu strangely from bellow, thinking maybe Yuu wants him to see himself out? But Yuu turned around when he noticed Mika wasn’t following him. “Come on, babe.” “U-uh..” Mika didn’t know what to say. Does Yuu not want him to go home or does he want him to help find Akane? But Mika didn’t ask. He nodded, and followed Yuu up the stairs and to a room. It seemed to be his bedroom, which fit him very well. It was a large room, three times the size of Mika if not more. There was one brick wall, which his bed was pressed against, and the rest were a dark red color. All the furniture was a deep walnut wood that looked all too expensive to be in a teenager’s room, but there was only a bed with tables on either side, a desk in the corner, and a large leather couch and coffee table placed in front of a flatscreen tv mounted on the opposite wall of the bed. It sounds like a lot, but for a room so large, it looked quite simplistic. The bed looked like it had been slept in and there was a laptop thrown on the corner of it. There were clothes thrown over the back of the couch and he had things littering his desk and bedside tables. Mika never thought he'd be so neat. Sure, it wasn't perfect, but the mess could easily be picked up in less than five minutes.  "Stay in here." Yuu told him before gesturing around the room. "The Xbox is connected to the tv or you can watch whatever. I'll be back." "W-wait," Mika grabbed his wrist before he exited the room and Yuu turned back around. "Where are you going?" "Awh, you want me to stay, babe?" Yuu smirked, before wrapping an arm around Mika's waist and pulling him close. "I'd be glad to show you around. Maybe we can even test how sturdy the bed is?"  And there it is…the usual horny Yuu who hits on him. But for some reason, his reaction was different. Blushing, Mika scoffed to hide his change in color, and pushed against Yuu's chest. "J-just go."  Chuckling a husky laugh, Yuu brought his lips to Mika’s ear, and whispered in a matching tone. "I'm just looking for Akane, remember?" He breathed, lips ghosting over Mika's ear. "I'll be back in a few, sweetheart." Mika released a shaky breath before nodding erratically and looking down at his nervous feet. Yuu left the room after ruffling Mika’s hair, leaving a very confused Mika breathing heavy from embarrassment. What the shit just happened.S-sweetheart? Yuu called him sweetheart? Why did that make his heart pound so much? Why did he react like this? Why is he trembling?  No. It must be from anger. He's so angry that he's shaking. That has to be the reason. No, it the reason because Yuu is an egocentric ass. He's an egocentric ass, who can't keep his dick in check, so maybe Mika should just leave? Yuu isn't here. He could easily just leave a note and ask Krul to pick him up, but…but something was holding him back. Mika didn't know what it was, but he had the urge to explore. To explore Yuu's room and to try and get to know him better— No! To find his weakness. Yes...to find his weakness. That's what he's doing. But before that...he wants to do something else.  Mika stood there awkwardly cracking his toes, before slowly making his way to Yuu's bed and standing before it. It was a large bed that looked soft and plush. The covers were so big and fluffly looking, and his pillows looked so nice, but what attracted Mika most to Yuu’s bed was the smell. The scent of Yuu was radiating off his sheets and it pulled Mika to it like a magnet. He wiggled around a bit to try and stop the…the feeling in his stomach, before pressing his palms to the edge of the bed and pushing down on the mattress. It was just as Mika had imagined it. It felt like a cloud, and Mika couldn't help but climb into it. It was so warm and Mika just had to curl himself into the mattress and wrap the blankets around him. Mika then paused, a panicked scent releasing from his pours when he realized what he just did, and sat up with Yuu’s blankets cocooned around him. The sudden movement of the blankets caused a puff of Yuu’s scent to rise, and for some reason, it relaxed him. The scent drew him in once more and Mika lay back down to soak it all in. He peeked over to the door before coyly pulling Yuu's pillow to his lips and taking a deep inhale. Yuu smelt so good. So manly and musky, but it had this sensual scent that made Mika's skin jump and stomach churn in anticipation. He stayed like that for a while and let everything soak in. Mika didn’t know why this relaxed him but, having blankets with Yuu’s scent wrapped around his body, but most importantly, his tummy, left Mika feeling secure. Like Yuu was protecting them, holding them, sharing his love with their baby. It calmed Mika down. He finally got out of Yuu’s bed once he started to feel anxious that Yuu may catch him, then started roaming around the room to try and learn more about— no! To find Yuu’s weakness. Mika plopped down on the corner of the bed once he spotted his target and pressed the spacebar on Yuu’s laptop to wake it up. Mika was immediately greeted a blank Google page, but that doesn’t mean he can't find anything… He went to Yuu's search history, Mika not sure what to expect or if he'd be ready for what he found, but immediately rolled his eyes at the empty page that would usually be filled with urls.  Of course his search history is cleared, but it's probably for the best. Mika's not sure if he'd ever be ready to see that. Who knows what he, he...touches himself to. Mika couldn't help but blush at the thought and quickly shook his head to make the thoughts go away. Mika then paused, noticing the other tabs open on the browser, and clicked each of them to see what Yuu was doing before he cleared his history. One was about a fetus and how it developed through the nine months of pregnancy, others were about what to expect for a male omega giving birth, and another tab was opened to BuyBuy Baby. Mika wasn’t sure what emotion he was feeling, but his hand distinctively went to touch his tummy as raw emotions bubbled up his throat. It wasn’t just him…Yuu thought about her too. He thought about their baby. Mika didn’t realize he was crying until tears fell onto his hand. He just felt so emotional that Yuu cared for her too. Mika could tell Yuu was excited to be a dad the day he told him he was pregnant, but Mika didn’t think he’d be this excited about her, excited enough to look up all this information five months in advanced. It made that feeling bloom in his chest again. Mika took a deep breath then went to the shopping cart on the website, it being full of different things they need, some having multiples. Mika assumed Yuu wanted to ask his opinion because there were at least five different strollers and car seats in the cart. But what made Mika smile, was all the little things he added. It wasn’t just the essentials. He had toys for their baby like little rattles and teethers. He had a disco light, and cute little duckies to put in the water for a bath. And he had different stuffed animals, and blankets to put in the crib. But what mattered most, were the safety items he had. There were video monitors, baby gates, babyproofing supplies, medicines, and healthy cleaning products. It really seemed like he cared about their baby, and that made Mika happy. Wanting to keep exploring, Mika smiled away the thoughts, then put everything back how he found it and ruffled Yuu's bed to make it look like no one had been in there. He then ventured across the room and to Yuu's desk and sat down on the luxurious rolly chair. He started off looking through drawers which had mostly school stuff in it. Yuu was pretty organized. Everything was labeled by year and class, and he had a separate folder labeled "Akane". Mika picked the founder up out of the drawer and filled through it, it having little work sheets that they must do in their free time. Mika couldn't help but smile at the already done worksheets on the left side of the folder. Yuu was teaching her colors. The sheet had crayons on it that were labeled with simple colors, and she had to color them accordingly. She got all of them right, but her coloring was really sloppy. Mika smiled again.  Behind that sheet wasn't a work sheet, but a blank piece of paper with Akane written all over it. Yuu was teaching her how to write her name. She had problems with e's and k's, and ended up writing them backwards half of the time. Mika could imagine Yuu doing this with their kid. Taking the time to sit with her and help her with school, or reading. Yuu was really good with kids. Mika's only seen him interacting with Akane, but siblings with big age gaps are just amazing like that. Mika would know. Krul is 10 years older than him and she always had a way of explaining everything so that he would understand. Yuu was just like her.  Something then caught the corner of Mika's eye that was to the right of him on the wall, it being a cork board full of different pictures on it. One was of Yuu as a little kid with a woman. She looked just like him. Same green eyes, dark hair... She must be his mom, but there were no other pictures of him with another parent. Yuu said he and Akane have different omega moms so maybe this is his mom? She was a beautiful woman. Tan skin like Yuu's, bright eyes as she held her son by the hand and helped him across the balance beam. They looked to be at some playground and Yuu looked so small and adorable. He looked to be about Akane's age and had the biggest pair of eyes Mika has ever seen. They were much narrower now, which fits him well, but his big eyes fit him when he was small.  He moved on to another picture, this one being of Yuu, Guren, and Akane. Akane looked to be about two and Yuu was probably in middle school. The photo almost made Mika sad. There was something about Yuu that looked a bit...off. He looked almost broken, but also so relived at the same time. Like a heavy burden had been taken off his shoulders.  There were a ton of photos of Yuu and Akane, but none looked to be from before they were adopted by Guren. There was only the one picture of Yuu and his mom, but other than that, it was all after. Yuu slowly started to look better as he got older, and he also matured. Akane also seemed to get happier too. Mika doesn’t know why they were put in an orphanage, but Mika can tell it wasn’t easy for them before Guren was in their lives. And Mika can tell that by these photos, and from the way Yuu speaks about his past. Mika tilted his head to the side as he gazed at the photo of Yuu and his mom. He couldn’t help but reach up to it. It was a Yuu he had never seen. An innocent Yuu, and Mika was reminded once again when he felt an arm drape over his shoulder and a hot breath against his ear. "Miss me?" Yuu hummed, and Mika practically jumped out of the chair in fright. "Awh, how cute, babe. Who knew you could be rattled so easily." "S-shut up." Mika hid his blush with his bangs and shyly looked down at his lap. "H-how's Akane?"  Humming again, Yuu moved away from Mika and tuned the chair so he was facing him, then sat down in front of Mika on the floor so he was directly in front of him. "She's still peeved, but Guren said to just let her sleep. She still hasn't grown out of her naps yet and was tired after school, so hopefully she'll be better when she wakes up." Mika nodded, then raised a curious brow as Yuu leaned forward and wrapped his arms around Mika’s lower back so he head was resting in Mika’s lap and by his tummy. “Uh, what are you doing?” Yuu sighed contently and snuggled up into Mika’s thighs. “I’m obviously taking this all in. I mean, come on, Mika. You smell like me because Yuu had a little fun in my bed, right?” Mika blushed, and tried to push Yuu’s head away, but Mika was just unlucky that the father of his baby is freakishly strong. “I-I did not! Now get off me!” “But we’re having so much fun.” Mika couldn’t see Yuu’s face because it was buried in his fucking crotch, but Mika could tell he was smirking from between his thighs, and that meant anything but good. “Yuuichirou! Get off me!” “Oh~ so we’re back to my full name? That’s not good, babe. Why don’t you call me Yuu chan like you did on the phone? That’s so much cuter.”  “I will not!” Mika begun kicking Yuu’s stomach and trying to peel Yuu’s nose from his crotch, but it wasn’t working. Mika then squeaked as he felt a hand slip into his leggings and make its way between his crack. “Yuu!” “Mika~” “Don’t say my name like that! It sounds wrong!” Yuu smirked again and pressed his lips into Mika’s crotch to breathe a hot breath. “Oh, I can assure you, babe, how I’m saying it, is definitely wrong. If ya catch my drift.” Mika wiggled around in protest because Mika wasn’t stupid and he has been…holding himself back. Being surrounded by Yuu’s scent for the past 30 minutes wasn’t exactly easy and Mika hasn’t had sex since he's had it with Yuu so he's very…sensitive. And Yuu’s breath on his growing cock and fingers dangerously close to what’s been begging for attention since he got pregnant wasn’t easy on his physical and mental state! Mika needs to get laid. He needs it, and the last person he wants to ask for help is Yuu, but its becoming harder to keep his arousal in check with Yuu doing what he's doing! “Yuu, get off me!” Mika thought he got through to him because he quickly sat up. Mika was ready to start bitching him out, but he eventually heard the hiccups coming from down the hall. Mika kept his mouth shut and watched Yuu. Watched as his lips parted and how he sat on his knees to anxiously await the door to open. His eyes were wide and it looked like he was about to run out the door himself, but it eventually opened on its own with a sobbing Akane running into the room. “N- niichan…” “Akane…” Yuu opened his arms, the girl immediately crawling into them and whipping her tear stained cheeks onto his shoulder. "What's wrong?" She sniffled as Yuu rocked her back and forth until she spoke up. "I-I…I had a dream and mama...sh-she..." More tears fell and she whimpered as Yuu picked her up. "N-Niichan…" "It's okay, Akane." Yuu turned to Mika and gave him an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. I'll be back in a few." Mika understood. She probably missed her mom. Mika knows the feeling all too well because his single mother died at a young age from sickness. Krul was always there for him when he was sad, even though he knew she was just as upset. Yuu probably felt the same way Krul did. He has to be there for his sister, so Mika nodded in understanding. “Ok.” “Thank you.” Mika nodded again and shooed Yuu away with the flick of his wrist, Yuu smiling and finally leaving. Mika wasn’t sure what he was feeling when Yuu left. His first thoughts were of his mom and how much he missed her. She always taught him new things and showed him and Krul how amazing the world was. The way she explained it really made you think about how small we really are and that there’s no difference between alphas, betas, and omegas. We’re all one species that needs each other to survive, and looking back at it, she must have known he was an omega because she always stressed those words to him. But after the thoughts of his mother had passed, much angrier ones bubbled up in his chest. Yuu was such an asshole and he gladly reminded him of that. What had Mika been doing all day? He forgave Yuu so easily, came to his home, played with his sister, laid in his bed, and was just about to do who knows what with him if Akane hadn’t come in the room at the right time. Right when Mika finally has a decent thought about Yuu, he gets reminded by the person himself of how much of an ass he is. Mika doesn't know what's wrong with him. When did he get so weak? Since when did he find being with Yuu was tolerable? Yuu, the same person who took advantage of his heat, who left Mika all alone after he impregnated him, who continued to hit on him time after time when Mika said no, who was an ass the entire time he's known him, who used their baby to get numbers, who slept with some other girl while he was almost getting rapped, who beat up Sora because he wasn't his. Because he wasn't Yuu's.  When did Mika start forgiving him for all these things? When did he want to learn more about him and why is there still a small part of him that wants to stay here and wait for Yuu to come back? But Mika won't allow himself to be so weak. Yuu is an ass. He's an egocentric ass who can't keep it in his pants, and Mika was just reminded of that. So Mika pulled his phone out and texted Sora to come pick him up. Once he responded, saying he’d be over in a few, Mika stood up from the chair and excited the room. Mika remembered how to leave. He just had to turn to the left and the stairs were on the— Mika paused when he heard the sniffles of Akane coming from a cracked opened door. Mika knows he should leave…he knows, but he couldn’t control himself. He tip toed over to the door and peeked inside, and Yuu was laying on the edge of Akane’s bed while running his fingers through her hair. They were quiet. Mika assumed Akane just needed to get her sadness out and cry so it wasn’t surprising when Akane burst into tears, worse than she was before. She clutched onto to Yuu tightly and buried her head into his side. “Y-yuu! Mama, sh-she hurt you and…and it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault! Mama would never do that if I weren’t here! It’s all my fault! It’s mine! Mine! It’s all my—” “Akane…listen to me.” Yuu squeezed the crying girl, his own voice starting to falter. “I’m fine, okay? I-I’m fine. Look, I’m right here. She can't hurt me anymore. She’s gone. You know papa won’t let her anywhere near me. Guren will keep us safe and I won’t let her do anything to us either.” “B-but if I was never born then—“ “Then I would be lonely. I wouldn’t know what to do without you, okay? And it wouldn’t have mattered, Akane. I was a nescience before you were born. Your mom never liked me.” Akane whimpered, all this new information just entering Mika’s ears and confusing him. Mika didn’t know what he was feeling, but he knows what he just heard was something that wasn’t meant for him, but he couldn’t stop listening. Yuu was an abused child…so Akane didn’t miss her mom. She was having a bad dream about her mom hurting Yuu, but why would she think it’s her fault? All Mika knew was that this information left Mika feeling sympathy for Yuu. It made Mika not want to hate him, but Mika had a strange feeling of jealously. He wanted to be treated by Yuu like he treats Akane. To be someone special. Yuu obviously treats Akane with such care, when Yuu…well, it’s pretty obvious how Yuu treats him: as a sex object. That’s pretty clear with what just happened. While he's starting to have decent thoughts about Yuu, to want to learn more about him, to see different sides of him, to raise their baby together as…as a family…As he's starting to have these confusing thoughts about him and maybe…maybe even have feelings for him. While he's doing all this, all fucking this, and Yuu? All Yuu wants him for is sex. He only cares about their baby, not about him. He chose Aoi over him, a girl that he's only with for sex, so if Yuu chose her over him, what does that make Mika? He's lower then a sex toy. He's a fucking used condom. Been there done that. Yuu only wants him because he's here now. Mika’s sure if Aoi was here, he wouldn’t bat an eyelash at him. He's a used fucking condom, and the people highest on Yuu’s list, are Akane and their baby. Not him. But why is he even having these thoughts? There’s no way Mika could have feelings for an asshole like Yuu so why does it matter if he means nothing to Yuu? Why is he getting so bent over this? Mika didn’t know. He didn’t know what he was feeling, or what to do…until a text popped up on his screen. Mika opened it, it being from Sora, saying he was here. And that’s when an idea popped in his head. Booking it down the stairs, Mika quickly put his coat and boots on, and grabbed his bag out of the closet, then ran to Sora’s car. He and sora had been talking since they met and he was a perfect way to solve all his problems. His problems with Yuu, his problems feeling lonely, and his problems with needs. “Sora,” Mika slammed the car door shut once he got inside, then leaned across the middle council of the car to pull the Alpha by the collar of his jacket and press their lips together. “Have sex with me.” ***** Beginnings ***** Chapter Notes ahem, first of all can i just give myself a pat on the back because i updated in less than a month, and i knew exactly what i wanted this chapter to contain and didnt change it at all. please praise me. second, i pick a song to listen to for every chapter of every fic i write. sometimes its shitty and it barely matches the chapter but this song is soooo perfect for this chapter. i was just scrolling through my songs and i thought i had a song titled mistakes so i looked AND BOY AM I GLAD I DID. its called "mistakes like this" by prelow. its seriously perfect so look that shit up. okay have fun Sora stared at Mika like he was an alien, like what just happened was all in his head and he was hallucinating. Sora was completely lost and confused. Mika wanted him to pick him up from Yuu's house and have sex with him? It didn't make sense to Sora. Why would Mika ask him? Because Sora isn't an idiot and Mika would obviously rather be having sex with Yuu than with him so what the fuck was happening right now?  It didn't make sense, but his mind and nose slowly registered the situation. Mika smells like Yuu. Everywhere. That could be because he was in his house but no, they were definitely doing something and that just made Sora even more confused. "Will you, Sora?" Mika stared up at him, eyes so big and blue. They tempted Sora, this situation all too appealing to the alpha because Sora knows how special Mika is and it'd be a waste to let this pass. But on the other hand, Mika doesn't really want to have sex with him. He wants to forget something...something Yuu did.  "What happened, Mika? What's wrong?" Mika's expression dropped and his heart nearly shattered when Sora changed the subject like that. He turned away and held is tummy as he stared out the window. "You don't want to have sex, right? Because I'm an unpaired omega with another mans baby. That's it, right?"  "No, Mika." Sora placed a hand on Mika's shoulder and rubbed his thumb in soothing circles. "I would be the luckiest man alive if you were my omega, but you don't really want to have sex with me." "Yes I do!" Mika faced Sora again and grabbed his hands. "I want to forget about Yuu! I want to move forward, so help me Sora!" Lidding his thirsty eyes, Sora took a deep breath to clear his hazy mind then averted his gaze. "Mika, I'm 21 and you're 16." "I consent." Mika sat up on his knees and leaned over the middle seat of Sora's truck to place a small hand on the alphas cheek and turn his face towards his own. "I asked you, remember? You saved me so I trust you." Those words lit a spark in Sora. He swallowed thickly and quickly shifted the car into reverse. "Sit down and buckle." Mika nodded and did as he said, and once the seatbelt was securely placed under Mika's belly, Sora booked it down Yuu's driveway and to his apartment. Sora was tapping his finger on the steering wheel and trying to distract himself with anything, but the intense staring on Mika's part didn't make it much easier. "M-mika, you don't have to be nervous, okay?" Giggling a challenging smirk, Mika crossed his arms across his chest, then poked Sora on his bicep. "You're the nervous one, Sora."  Sora chucked as well and took another deep breath to calm his nerves. "No, the question is why are you so calm?" "I mean," Mika tilted his head to the side and rubbed his hand up and down Sora's muscly bicep. "It's not like my second time having sex can be worse than the first."  "And what did Yuu do wrong so I can make up for his mistakes?" "What didn't he do wrong?" Well, it felt good and relieved his heat, but everything else... "I'm already pregnant so you can't do that, and as long as you don't make me have sex in a closet then I'm sure it can't be worse." "I-in a closet?" Sora asked and Mika nodded like it was the most normal thing in the world.  Sora mentally cussed that douchebag out and reached under the seat in between him and Mika to pull the seat up. "I'll treat you better Mika." "I know." Smiling, Mika unbuckled his seatbelt, and then scooted next to Sora. Once he was secure again, Sora placed a hand on Mika's thigh and squeezed it with reassurance.  This is how it should be. This is how Yuu should treat him. Mika may have only known Sora for about a week, but he's treating him better then Yuu does. That just goes to show how unimportant he is to Yuu that a new person in his life is treating him better than he does. This is how an alpha should treat their omega. Yuu claims that he's his omega, but he needs to start being a better alpha if he wants that to happen... Not that Mika wants that to happen because he definitely doesn't. Yuu is tool. He's just a douchebag, but...he can be so kind and caring when he wants to be, and it was so cute when he played along with Akane. And Mika doesn't know why, but he gets excited when Yuu teases him or touches him softly and— Mika whacked himself in the arm. What the fuck is he thinking? There's a perfectly capable alpha sitting here right next to him, touching his thigh in an intimate way and is about to fucking stick his dick inside you, and you’re here thinking about Yuu? Get yourself together, Mika. Yuu obviously doesn't care about him. All he cares about is their child, not him. So why should you care about him? Why are you thinking so hard about this? Since when did Yuu's actions influence him this much?  Mika took a deep breath to steady himself, which caught Sora’s attention as he smirked. “So you are nervous.” “U-uh,” Mika looked at Sora in shock before laughing fakely and nodding. “Y- yeah, I guess I am.” The thing is though, he isn’t nervous. Why isn’t he nervous? He's about to have sex which is something he's done only once. He isn’t Yuu and has sex at least once a day and with different people…Mika clenched his jaw in anger, but shook the irritation away. The point is he should be scared. Sure, he wasn’t nervous the first time, but that was because he was desperate and his heat was taking over his needs. But this time is clearly different…He if fully aware of what he's doing, and he is not in heat, so why? Why is he so calm? Sure, maybe because his first time having sex was so horrible so it can't be much worse that, but…but if he thinks…if he thinks about having sex with Yuu again, Mika can't imagine how nerve wrecking that would be. How would Yuu treat him? Would it be like the first time or would Yuu be gentler? What emotions would Yuu be feeling? And what emotions would he be feeling? Does he actually want to have sex with Yuu again? Mika just felt so confused. What does he want? But that thought got unimportant as they pulled up to Sora’s apartment building and they park. Mika looked around at his surroundings and he immediately recognized the area. It was close to the school, so he can always head there if things don’t go as planned. Sora wouldn’t do anything to hurt him though. Sora leads him to his building and took him up to the second floor. Once he unlocked the door, the alpha pulled his shoes off and Mika did the same, along with their coats. It was kind of awkward because they both know what they came here to do, but Sora eventually gently grabbed his hand and lead him to his bedroom. They shut the door for some reason, and Sora immediately pinned him against the wall and placed a hand on his chin. “Let’s get Yuu’s scent off you, yeah?” Mika blushed as he recalled that whole thing Yuu, but for some reason, he was kind of reluctant to get yuu scent off him. But he just nodded, before grabbing the front of Sora’s shirt and reaching up to his lips. Sora chuckled at how short Mika was and met his lips halfway. It started off soft, but quickly grew intensity. Sora eventually kissed down his neck and sucked on his collar bone. Mika froze.  Panicking, he pushed Sora away and clutched his slightly red skin. “N-no marks. I don’t want to be bound.” “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” Mika knew he was being picky because a mark made right now wouldn’t bind them. It’s a process, but it scared Mika to think about being bound to Sora. He doesn’t want that. The person Mika chooses to be with has to be special and cares for his baby. Green eyes flash in his head, but Mika shook it away, and pretended like it was never there. Wanting to get forget, Mika Grabbed the hem of his sweater and pulled the article off of his head. The rest of his clothes followed after, and he dropped them to the ground so he was completely bare. Sora sucked in air through his closed teeth, and took a step closer to Mika so their bodies were touching. Mika looked up at the Sora with a lost and unsure face, but smiled.  “Take me, Sora.” ===============================================================================   Yuu couldn’t get to school any quicker. Yesterday after Akane got back to sleep and he returned to his room, Mika was gone, and there wasn’t a sign of him anywhere. He didn’t leave a note, or text him at all, and just left without a trace. Yuu tried calling his omega so many times he lost count, but Mika never answered. Yuu was stressed that Mika left like that without telling him anything, and he called Krul but she said he hadn’t come home yet. It got him worried. What if something happened? What if he did something reckless? Yuu’s mind couldn’t help but travel to a darker place, and he was scared. When he got to class, Shinoa and Yoichi were the only ones there, and he immediately sat down to interrogate them. “Has Mika come to class yet?” Shinoa looked at him with a knowing smirk. “No, your princess hasn't shown yet.” Yuu groaned and anxiously tapped his foot up and down, and Yoichi looked at him with a worried expression. “Did something happen?” “Yes!” Yuu yelled as he slammed his fists down on the table. “He just left my house out of the blue and I don’t know where he went! What if he got kidnapped? Mika is so cute so who knows who might try to snatch him up!” Shinoa rolled her eyes. “You're one of those people who would snatch him up, Yuu san.” “So? I know I would never do anything to hurt him, but I can't trust the rest of the people in this world!” “Maybe you should just tell him how you feel.” Shinoa said, but Yuu’s brain wasn’t that simple. “What do you mean tell him how I feel? What does that mean?” Shinoa sighed this time, but stood up from her chair, then sat in Mitsuba’s seat so she was directly next to him. “Don’t you understand what you're feeling? You get jealous when other people touch him, you worry about him 24/7, you finally stopped having sex with everyone in the fucking school because you knew it upset Mika, and I’m not an idiot and I know half the shit you say to him is only because you're worried about him.” That’s true. Yuu texts Mika everyday to see how he's doing, but Mika probably didn’t see it that way. He asks him if he wants to be pleasured which is Yuu’s own way of making sure he's alright, because Yuu knows that Mika would tell him if he was in danger so asking if he wants to have sex is only an excuse. He’s also hit on him in the past because it would benefit Mika. It sounds strange, but Yuu knew Mika didn’t want to be bound to him when they told Krul and Guren about the baby, so he said some nasty things so Krul would drop the subject. He also starts talking about sex to distract Mika’s mind from whatever was bothering him like the time they went to their first appointment to check on the baby. It might not seem like it to Mika, but Yuu has always been worried about him. He’s always been watching over him and making sure he was okay. He's always monitored his emotions and known when he's upset, but Yuu just doesn't know how to go about comforting him.  But Mika has been acting different recently. He had that panic attack for no reason whatsoever, but something must have stressed him out, right? Yuu felt completely useless during that time and didn’t know what to do. And then, Mika has seemed to tolerate him more recently. When he came over yesterday, Yuu really felt a connection when he played with Akane like that. It made him really happy because Akane is so special to him. But what was Shinoa talking about with telling Mika his feelings? The feelings that Mika is a special human being and is the cutest person he knows? The feelings where he hates when anyone touches him and wants to just hug him forever? The feeling that caused him to stop sleeping around and explicitly only wants to have sex with Mika? Those feelings? But Yuu doesn’t know what those feelings are and he doesn’t know how to go about expressing them. The only person he's shown an immense amount of love to is Akane, but his feelings for Mika are obviously different than his feelings towards his little sister. Yuu just doesn’t know how to go about expressing them. All he's ever done is express a platonic love for his sister, and a sexual need for all the people he's had sex with, but Mika didn’t fit into either of those categories. Yes, Yuu wants to have sex with Mika, but it’s more than just that. There’s something special when it comes to Mika, but Yuu doesn’t know what it is. Yuu's head then popped up as he smelt the scent of his omega. Yes, he smelt the familiar scent of Mika, but it was mixed with something else, and it wasn’t his own scent like it was yesterday. It was different and it made Yuu cringe. But no, maybe he's just mixing another person’s scent with Mika’s...but the closer Mika got, the more he ruled out that option, and a new one came to his mind. Sora. Yuu clenched his jaw shut as pure anger and hatred took over his senses. He didn’t wait for Mika to enter the classroom; he went to his omega himself, and stalked forward as he followed his nose. Once he made it out into the hallway and turned the corner, Yuu saw him. He saw Mika with the disgusting scent of another alpha lingering off his body. Yuu couldn’t hold himself back. Again, he stalked forward like a predator hunting its prey, and Mika quickly looked up once he noticed his scent. Yuu didn’t know what it was, but Mika had an expression that Yuu couldn’t make out. Shame? Guilt? Happiness? Relief? Yuu didn’t know, but he didn’t have the decency to ask. He clutched onto Mika’s wrist and pulled him through the hallway. He didn’t say a word, and neither did Mika. Yuu was too pissed to make coherent sentences, and Mika seemed to understand that. Yuu pulled Mika into an empty classroom and immediately held the blonde against his chest. And to his surprise, Mika didn’t fight him. He looked up at him with wide, awaiting eyes as his hands clutched the front of his t-shirt, so…Yuu went for it. He pounced forward and latched his lips onto the blondes, and to his surprise once more, Mika kissed back. He wrapped his arms around his neck and pulled himself up to his lips, desperately seeking attention from the alpha. Mika quickly opened his mouth for him, and Yuu gladly entered. He lapped at Mika’s tongue and twirled his piercing around the omegas muscle in need. His hands soon found their way up to Mika’s soft locks, and he tangled his fingers into the blonde strands in pure desperation to get that disgusting scent off of his omega. Never disconnecting their lips, Yuu reached his hands around Mika’s voluptuous ass to pick him up, and Mika immediately wrapped his legs around Yuu’s hips like a monkey. Yuu sat down on a nearby table and they ate each other's faces off. Yuu had been holding back for so long, but he hadn't realized it until now. Has he wanted Mika this much? So much that he completely lost all control and is only functioning on desire and hatred?  Mika sucked on his tongue like it was a dick, bobbing his head and poking his own tongue out to play with Yuu's piercing like it was what was keeping him grounded and sane in this intense kiss.  After great reluctance, Yuu finally pulled his lips away, but Mika kept leaning in. He kept followed his lips, leaving tiny separate kisses until he couldn't reach anymore. Yuu then kissed his way down Mika's neck, and Mika hugged his head to encourage Yuu to suck harder, bite harder, and lick more.  "Where did he touch you." Yuu spat.  “Everywhere,” Mika breathed, head rolling back as Yuu sucked a dark hickey. "He touched me everywhere." Yuu emitted a growl against Mika's skin. "Did it feel wrong." He snarled as he bit down on Mika's neck. "You only want my touch, right." Mika didn't know. He didn't know what he was feeling. When he had sex with Sora, it felt very wrong, more wrong than when he had sex with Yuu. Actually, no, that's not right. It didn't feel wrong when he had sex with Yuu. It felt like something he had to do. It felt like a sexual need, but he never thought "I feel disgusting", and that's probably because his heat was talking for him and he didn't have another person he would rather be having sex with. But when he had sex with Sora, he felt like he was betraying something. Angry, green eyes popped into his head once he closed his eyes, and Mika eventually kept them close just to stare at that beautiful color.  After they finished, Mika went straight home and he thought for a long time. He thought about having sex with Sora and why he had these emotions about it, but those green eyes kept popping in his head. Soon, his thoughts revolved around Yuu and what he'd think if he knew he had sex with Sora. Mika knew Yuu was possessive of him, but he didn't know why. Yuu obviously doesn't care about him so maybe he wouldn't even care if he had sex with another man.  And somehow, Mika decided not to shower. He wanted to go to school with Sora's scent and see Yuu's reaction, and once he saw how angry he was, Mika immediately felt relief. Yuu cared that he slept with someone and that made him happy for some reason, but Mika didn't know why. Why did he feel so dirty having sex with Sora, but this just feels so...right, so natural. Why is his heart beating so fast? Why is he encouraging Yuu? Why hasn't he pushed Yuu away? Mika didn't know, and he couldn't give a response except for a muffled moan into Yuu's thick hair.  That was good enough for Yuu though. He roughly threw Mika down on the table, and Mika leaned back as Yuu crawled up his body. Mika had his hands above his head as he played with the tips of his hair, and Yuu is one hundred percent sure that Mika is trying to seduce him. Mika just looked so sexy spread out under him like this. He was curvy in more ways than one with how rounded his ass and hips were. But what was really sexy, was Mika's other curve. The curve of his pregnant belly with the child he made inside. And with each passing day as Mika gets bigger and bigger, his sexiness only increases. Yuu read somewhere that an alpha finds their mate sexier than ever before while pregnant, and boy can Yuu attest to that. Yuu already had the urge to plummet his dick inside that tight ass of his, but it's even more so now.  Yuu didn't have the control to touch Mika's pregnant belly right now though. He was far to pissed to be gentle with her, and Yuu just hopes he doesn't put their baby through too much of a bumpy ride because that's bad for her.  Yuu looked Mika up and down once more, and took in his omegas appearance again. He looked so innocent, but conniving and like he knew exactly what he was doing to him. His back was slightly arched with his belly and small breasts poking out under his sweater, and he teased Yuu by licking his lips with seductive flare. He could also see the outline of Mika's growing member through his leggings, and his knees were just far from straight with his knees touching but ankles farther apart. That's not a natural position so Mika knew how to use that cute body of his to his advantage and turn it just plain sexy.  Yuu licked his lips at the sight, and his eyes darkened as he leaned over Mika's body to roughly pull his oversized sweater down. It was big on him, so his perk, plump nipples slipped out of their confinement, and Yuu greedily grasped the beautiful thing.  Mika's back arched wonderfully and he bit down on his lip to suppress a cry. "Yuu!" Mika whined, eyes shooting open. "I-I'm sensitive." "I know, baby, but I need to make you forget." Mika looked up at him through lidded eyes as he bit his lower lip, but Mika's attempt to get off easy won't work on him. "You know what you did wrong babe." Yuu said before his tone dropped and he clenched his teeth shut. "You had sex with another man, so I need to make you remember who you belong to." And for some reason, that was music to Mika's ears. He released a breathy moan, and he wrapped his legs around Yuu's ass to pull his hips down onto his own. Yuu started grinding their clothed cocks together as he took Mika's swelled nipple into his mouth and suckled his breast like their baby would. He wasn't cruel enough to use his teeth, but certainly made sure to roll his sensitive nipple with his lips, and got the pink thing responding by swirling his tongue around the pebble of his nipple.  His other hand was lightly massaging Mika's small breast and flicking its needy bud with his stubby thumb nail. He eventually moved his mouth to the other nipple and gave that one equal attention, all while Mika tried his hardest to muffle his cries and moans with the back of his hand.  Yuu released Mika's nipple with a pop, then felt movement as Mika sat up on the table to capture Yuu's lips with his own again. Yuu quickly flipped their positions so Mika was sitting in his lap, and the table squeaked as Mika bounced his bottom on Yuu's hardening cock. They continued to kiss with needy whispers for attention, and Yuu brought his hands to the waistband of Mika's leggings to slip his fingers into the fabric and grope his thick piece of meat.  While Yuu slowly eased his way to Mika's crack, the blonde ventured his own hands down Yuu's body to feel his chest for himself. He eagerly pulled Yuu's t- shirt up off his body and dropped it to the ground.  "Yuu," Mika pulled away from Yuu's lips and ran his fingers up the alphas toned chest in curiosity. He stared at Yuu's body as he traced the outline of his abs, then felt his bone sink in to form the v on his hips, and then lastly, he moved his fingers to the trail of black hair leading down to his thick cock, and Mika gladly followed it all the way down. He unzipped Yuu's jeans then slipped an eager hand under his boxers to feel his massive size.  "Oh babe," Yuu breathed, rolling his head back. "Rougher baby, I like it rough." Mika smirked and squeezed Yuu's dick with an extra amount of love, and Yuu sucked in a breath through his closed teeth before moaning loudly and leaning his head against Mika's shoulder. "Fuck, Mika." Wanting to see Yuu's expression, Mika guided Yuu's forehead up off his shoulder and looked into his eyes. Yuu looked spent, panting hard with cloudy, emerald eyes as he continued to kneed his cock. Mika liked seeing Yuu like this when he was making him look like that. Yuu moaned and pulled Mika back into a kiss, and Mika wrapped his unoccupied hand around the back of Yuu's hair to run his fingers through the short, thick strands.  While Mika was busy with Yuu's dick, Yuu's fingers had ventured into Mika's crack, and he eagerly rimmed his asshole with his middle finger. Yuu moaned into Mika's mouth as the blonde squeezed his thick member, causing Yuu's finger to peek inside Mika's tight hole. Mika immediately pulled away from Yuu's lips, and cried as Yuu's finger pressed further and further inside.  "Tell me how you feel, Mika." Yuu smirked. "Tell me everything." Mika nodded his hazy head, before licking his lips and pressing his forehead to Yuu's. "I-I feel so—" he took a shaky breath and moved his hand from Yuu's hair to his cheek to press their lips together in a short kiss. "Good,"  Yuu pressed a second finger into Mika's tight ass and darted his tongue out to lick Mika's lips. "Tell me who you belong to. I need to hear you say it." Mika's eyes snapped up to Yuu's, and his eyes narrowed in need. He took a shaky breath before nodding and rubbing his thumb under Yuu's eye. Mika didn't know what possessed him to say or do any of this, but only one answer seemed to feel right.  "You." Yuu lost his shit.  He pulled Mika against his chest and buried his lips into Mika's neck as he sucked a dark bruise on his smooth skin. He nipped and licked the love bite, before being forced to pull away when Mika pushed his back against the table. Yuu continued to work his fingers in Mika's ass as the blonde hastily pulled Yuu's pants and boxers down.  And Mika liked his lips at the sight of Yuu's cock. It was so thick. Just so thick, but he didn't lose his length. Yuu's cock was beautiful. It was the same color of his tan skin, but his head was a deep rose color. Mika could see the deep veins that were giving it life, and he traced his fingers over them. Yuu moaned, and Mika wanted to hear more. So greedily wrapped his hand around his cock, but his small hand couldn't even grasp the whole thing.  "Holy shit." Yuu chucked a smirk. "Like what you see?" Mika didn't respond. He just placed a delicate finger over Yuu's lips, then leaned forward to kiss him again. They were aggressive, territorial as Mika continued to rub Yuu's cock with slow motions. Yuu finally slipped Mika's leggings off his round bottom, but were stopped by the winter boots Mika always wore.  Taking a deep, shaky breath, Yuu placed both hands on Mika's hips and guided him over his cock. "Ride me, Mika." Slowly, Mika nodded his hazy head and eased down on Yuu as his mouth hung open in pleasure. Not one noise came out between his those plump lips of his, just soundless moans as his eyes closed in sweet, wonderful bliss.  Once Mika got down to his base they didn't move. Unlike the first time they had sex, Yuu let Mika adjust to his size. Yuu laid there for several excruciatingly slow seconds as Mika clenched his tight hole around him. Finally, Mika relaxed around him, and he leaned forward to interlock their fingers as Mika worked his hips on Yuu's still growing cock. They both panted as Yuu held Mika up with his strong arms. Even when Mika leaned forward to kiss him, Yuu still held Mika's weight.  Mika pulled away from his lips to focus on his rhythm and Yuu took the opportunity to watch himself slowly get eaten by Mika's hips. It was fucking hot watching Mika fuck himself with his dick. His eyes were clouded over with lust as saliva drips down the corner of His open mouth. He looked so lewd and dirty, but an unpleasant thought traveled into his brain and he needed to address it.  "Did you ride Sora." Yuu snarled, squeezing Mika's hands tight.  Mika looked down at him with hazy eyes and shook his head no. "He just— mmm, he...he did missionary." Yuu didn't know why he was asking these questions because no matter how Mika answers, he'll be pissed. "Did he hold you."  "Yes,"  He hates the answer. "You weren't like this though, right." Mika looked at him a little curiously, not knowing what 'this' meant, so he started again. "You weren't acting like a total slut, right."  Mika cried out in pleasure as Yuu thrusted his hips into him, and he moaned when he felt Yuu's size grow a little more. "Mmm, I-I'm not a slut." "Really?" Bringing his lips to Mika's, Yuu licked the saliva dripping down his chin, then showed Mika on his tongue. Mika moaned again, and brought his own tongue to Yuu's to lick it up, the sucked Yuu’s tongue like a lollipop.  It seemed like Mika was done with the conversation though because he pulled away from his lips, and bounced his ass enthusiastically on his cock. "Yuu, Yuu," Mika chanted, eyes closed in pleasure.  "That's right, baby, say my name. Forget his!" Yuu squeezed Mika's hands tighter and licked his lips. "You're mine. You're all mine, baby. Never leave me!" Mika whimpered in response, and something within Yuu was telling him that this was how it was supposed to be. Mika and him were supposed to be, so he did the only thing any sane alpha would do.  He slowly sat up on the table and pulled Mika close. They started out kissing; nipping at each other's lips, but Yuu soon tucked Mika's hair behind his ear, then trailed his lips back there. Mika knew full well what Yuu was doing and it seemed like the only thing they should be doing:  Bonding, The process of connecting two people together. Once you're bond to a person, their scent never leaves you. You will have their scent attached to you for the rest of your life. A new partner could try to scent over an old mates mark, but it's never gone completely. And once you're bound to someone, it's hard to find a new mate because no person would want another male or females scent of their partner.  There’s rules though. The mark has to be made at the peak of sex and behind the ear where your scent glad is. It has to be near the climax because that's when a person’s scent is the strongest, and Yuu knew Mika was close by his whimpers and the twitching around his throbbing cock.  He licked behind Mika's ear before pressing his lips to the area and sucking a potent bruise. This bruise would never leave, so it needed to be dark, it needed to do its job and make sure no one would even think about touching his omega.  Mika continued to bounce his hips as he moaned and pulled Yuu into the bond as his fingers clutched Yuu's hair in pure, wonderful ecstasy. Once Yuu released Mika's skin with a pop, Mika kissed Yuu softly before completing the contract and sucking a bruise behind Yuu's ear.  They didn't say a word to each other, because neither knew why they just did that. They just knew they didn't want anyone else to have the other, so that seemed like the only plausible thing to do. At least, that's how Mika felt, but he didn't think about it too much yet. He was still too focused on how Yuu's dick felt inside him. Mika felt like he was being stretched to the max, and Yuu's thick cock rubbed against his prostate each time he lowered down on him.  "Faster, baby." Yuu panted as his hands groped Mika's ass and guided it up and down. "Fucking shit." Mika lidded his eyes and hugged Yuu's head as he devoured his breasts and left hickeys all along his chest. "Yuu!" Mika cried as he tangled his fingers in his hair. "I-I'm close! Don't stop! Please don't fucking stop!"  "Fuck." Grunting at Mika's plead, Yuu left sloppy kisses on his chest, and loved the wet noise of his lips on Mika's skin. "Grind your hips, baby. I promise it'll feel good." Nodding, Mika matched the grind of his hips with the up and down motion of his ass, and immediately felt his stomach start to coil. He picked up his pace, Yuu following after as the alpha manhandled his ass and pushed his poor hips down on his aching cock roughly.  Mika's back then arched, as a wonderful symphony of colors explodes in his head. And unlike the first time they had sex, Mika didn't freak out when Yuu came inside him and neither did the alpha.  Mika sat on Yuu's lap for a long time and just buried his lips into the top of Yuu's raven hair. They were quiet, and even though Yuu was still inside him, Mika took the time to process his emotions because he couldn't make sense of them at all for the past 24 hours.  It was blurry. Everything was blurry. He can't even recall everything that just happened with Yuu, but he concentrated hard. He started at the beginning, thinking about his day at school yesterday. All he remembers was how much Yuu was apologizing about what he did with Aoi.  Mika paused.  What Yuu did with Aoi. He completely left and had sex with some other girl while he was almost getting raped. He should have been apologizing to him about using their baby as an object to pick up dates, and yet...Yuu went and had sex with Aoi.  Mika wasn't supposed to forgive him for that and he decided not to once he remembered how much of an ass Yuu was. So that's why he wanted to have sex with Sora, but it just felt so wrong. He felt ashamed that he did that, shameful because someone might be mad at him for doing that, and that person was Yuu. And Yuu did get mad at him, but does he have a right to? He's had sex with pretty much the whole student body and flirted with people right in front of him.  Yuu is an asshole. Why does he keep forgetting that? And he just had sex with. Why did he want to have sex with him again? To purify where Sora touched him? But why was Yuu the purifier? Why wasn't it his shower? Mika doesn't understand how he let this happen again. He was never supposed to have sex with Yuu ever again. Now he'll nag him about it all the time. Mika isn't looking forward to that, but he feels like he's missing something. Did Yuu do something else to him and that's why he feels that way? Probably.  "Mika." Yuu murmured against his chest, and Mika was quite shocked that his voice sounded so genuinely kind, like when he spoke to Akane. It made him happy for some reason. "Never go see Sora again, okay?" Mika pulled away from Yuu to look at him with a raised brow. "You can't tell me what to do. You have sex with other people." Yuu's face turned to pure unadulterated anger, and Mika flinched as Yuu grabbed him by the shoulders and slammed their lips together. His hands traveled up past his neck and to his cheeks to pull Mika into this heavy, livid kiss. Mika didn't open his lips for him, but Yuu just shoved his tongue in there anyway. Mika was easily overwhelmed by Yuu's emotions, and had to push him away to breathe again.  He panted for a moment, eyes blown wide and hands shaking, but finally looked up to look at Yuu's fiery expression. "I stopped having sex with other people for you, Mika! Did you not notice?! And in case you fucking forgot, I can tell you who you can or can't see because you fucking slept with Sora and we're bound now!" Mika's face immediately palled as horror crashed down on him. That's what he forgot. He's bound to Yuu now. Yuuichirou hyakuya, the same asshole who turned his life upside down. The same asshole left him alone after he impregnated him, the same asshole who says mean things and gets a kick out of it, the same asshole who flirted with him even when he said no, the same asshole who used their unborn child as a way to find booty calls, the same asshole who had sex with Aoi while he was almost getting raped, And the same asshole who he's now bound to for the rest of his life.  ***** Bonds ***** Chapter Summary you dense, dense boy yuu Chapter Notes meh, this isnt my favorite chapter but it needed to happen and its about time weve had some fluff in this fic. i just feel like nothing happened, but this chapter is over 6000 words so... Um before you read, i just wanted to say sorry for last chapter. i reread it and i noticed how rushed it was. like the content was good, but it just wasnt my best writing, so im sorry :/ Mika was obviously pissed at him. When he and Mika were finally, finally bound and Mika kissed him, touched him, and accepted all Yuu's advancements, Yuu was genuinely happy. He thought everything was working out for the better and he and Mika could be together, whatever that meant. But it seemed like Yuu was the only one who felt that way. Mika would yell about how much of an asshole he is, how much he hated him, but then he'd pause to look up at him with such a kind expression, and if Yuu would dare to say, affectionate and loving. He'd reach a hand up to his face and rub a small thumb under his eye or trace the freckles on his cheeks with his finger. But only for a moment before Mika realized what he was doing. He'd pull away and call him a pervert when Mika was the one who touched him. It just didn't make sense to him. What was he doing wrong? What didn't Mika like about him? And what was this heaviness in his heart when Mika called him names? Then it'd feel light as a feather when Mika softly stared into his eyes. "Yuu san, you know what you're feeling right?" Shinoa would always ask. She'd always ask him that question, but when he asked what she meant, she'd answer it with open ended questions, which Yuu didn't know what that meant either. "You're protective of him, right?"  She'd question. "You want him to yourself, right?" She'd ask those same questions to him over an over, and Yuu instantly knew the answer to them, but he didn't get why she was asking them. That was just common sense to Yuu. Of course he was protective of Mika. Of course he wanted Mika to himself. He was his omega. His and only his, so why would she ask such an obvious question? Was there deeper meaning behind it? Yuu's just didn't know. "You know what you're feeling, Yuu san." She'd say. "Think about what you want in life." She'd always say that at the end of their conversation, leaving Yuu more confused than when they started. What he wants in life? All Yuu ever wanted was to watch Akane grow up, but that's changed more recently. Of course he still wants his sister to become a wonderfully kind woman, fall in love and find and a mate, but— Wait...what's up with that order? That's how it usually goes. You fall in love and get bound to the person you can't live without, but is that how it happened with him and Mika? "Think about what you want in life." Shinoa's words echoed in his head. He wants to raise his baby with Mika and live a happy life with them. He wants to watch his baby grow up and support her through whatever hardships she may have. He wants to go on vacations together and be a happy, little family. He Just wants to be happy with Mika and his baby.  So what does that mean? the order in which it usually goes is falling in love then bonding, but he and Mika didn't do it that way, right? Why does he want to be bound to Mika? It just seemed like how it was supposed to be. It's what he wanted most in life; to be with Mika, so what does that mean? How does he sort his emotions out? Then the second time he shared with Mika popped in his head. "Tell me who you belong to." He said to Mika, and how did Mika answer? "You." He said he was his. That made Yuu's heart thud in his ears uncontrollably. He couldn't hold back and devoured Mika's poor skin. Mika said he was his. Mika said that all on his own. He could have easily rejected him like he always does, but he didn't. And why did Yuu want to be bound to Mika again? That question keeps popping up in his head. Why? Why, why, why, why? Why did he make that mark on him? Why did Mika make it back if he hates him? The only plausible thing he can come up with is Mika doesn't actually hate him. It really seemed like he has this past week though, but there's times when he was genuinely kind when he wasn't paying attention. So Mika doesn't hate him. Then what does he think of him? If Mika has moments of kindness then why does he have mean ones? Does Mika not want him to know that he doesn't actually hate him or is he confused like he is? Yuu doesn't know, but he's too scared to ask. He's afraid of Mika's answer, if he can even answer him at all. It's not like Yuu could even tell Mika how he feels about him because Yuu doesn't know what type of feelings he holds towards his omega. It's obviously more than his usual friends or fuck buddy, but where do his feelings stop? How high up do they go? Does he have romantic feelings towards him or does he just see Mika as somebody special? Yuu doesn't know and since he's not sure about his feelings towards Mika, his omega could be just as confused as he is. Well, he is pretty appealing so why would Mika hate him? Everybody loves him so Mika should too, but that sentence feels like a lie in his head. It's obvious Mika doesn't feel the same way as everybody else does, but that's what makes Mika special. He isn't like any other omega he's met and Yuu is happy that Mika is his. Now if only Mika was happy as well. Sighing, Yuu fiddled with his phone nervously as he stood in the aisle of the grocery store awkwardly, contemplating if he should call the telephone pole for advice or not. It was now February and Shinoa and Mitsuba told him he needed to get Mika a Valentine's Day present, but sadly, neither of them were very helpful when it came down with what to actually get him. Shinoa said to just get him a box of chocolates and a teddy bear, but Mitsuba went on a fit saying how cliché that is and how he should get Mika something homemade or memorable. But what? What in the world should he make him? Yuu literally has no fucking idea what to do about any of this romance shit but he's trying. Kimizuki and Yoichi have been bound for awhile, and surprisingly, Kimizuki is good at that romance crap, but Yuu really doesn't want to ask him for advice. And it's not like he can ask Guren either because he doesn't have a mate, so Yuu's at a loss. His eyes traveled between all the box mixes of different cakes, cookies, brownies, and other sweets. There were so many to choose from that it was overwhelming. He paced back and forth, some people looking at him a little funny, but Yuu ignored them. He doesn't give a shit about what they think. Yuu doesn't know what Mika's favorite sweets are. All he knows is he likes chocolate frosties from Wendy's, but it's not like he can give him that for a Valentine's Day present. The safe choice would be a chocolate cake or brownie, but what if Mika doesn't like those? Yuu typically likes vanilla flavored things, but he can be picky from time to time and isn't all that found of vanilla pudding or ice cream, so Mika could feel the same way about chocolate. He just doesn't want to mess this up! Kimizuki wouldn't be able to tell him what Mika's favorite kind of sweet is, but he could help point him in a different direction of what to get him. There's always the jewelry rout, but Yuu feels like Mika wouldn't wear anything he'd give him, and that would hurt if Mika did that. It would be different if it was clothes or something because Yuu has given him socks and stuff in the past that Mika has worn, but jewelry…Yuu feels like Mika would reject it. Grumbling under his breath, Yuu held his phone in his hand with Kimizuki’s contact lighting up the screen, before he clicked the phone into sleep mode and shoved his hands in his coat pockets. Fuck no is he asking the pink haired stick of gay. He'd rather die then do that, so he's back to square one. He glared at all the boxes of desserts before stomping out of the aisle then exiting the little store. Okay, make Mika a dessert is a fail. Time for plan B. What the shit is plan B though?! Groaning, Yuu fiddled with his phone as he dragged his feet down the street. He kept his eyes open for any stores that may catch his eye, but Yuu doesn't exactly know what he's looking for. Maryanne’s Flower shop had a few Valentine's Day products in their window. Lucky’s Antiques was obviously an antique store, but Yuu didn't know if Mika was into that stuff. There was a few clothing boutiques, but Yuu wasn't confident enough to buy Mika clothes…Ugh this is so hard! What does Mika actually like? Well, now that he's thinking about it, he knows next to nothing about Mika. What does Mika do in his free time? What type of tv shows does he like? What's his favorite color? Yuu can't believe he doesn't know any of this about him, but he guesses he's never asked. And the more he thought about Mika's likes and dislikes, the farther his phone got pulled out of his pocket. He wanted to ask. He wanted to know everything about Mika, but Yuu was nervous. His phone had Mika's number dialed on it, but Yuu found his finger freezing up when it came to hitting the call button. His heart was beating really fast for some reason and it made him a bit anxious. Just push the button, damnit! But he couldn't force his finger to listen to him. Why was he so nervous? Is he afraid Mika will reject him? But Mika always ignores his calls, so what's another? It just seemed like it would hurt really bad if he ignored him right now. Or what if Mika did pick up and he said something to make him angry and he's not there to apologize for it. Mika could hang up before he has a chance to say it, and saying sorry over text isn't very sincere. Just press the button, Yuu and don't say anything stupid! But he can't control it sometimes and mean things just slip out. He doesn't want to mess up! He wants to fix things so maybe he should just talk to him about it at school tomorrow? Sighing, Yuu put his phone to sleep, hoping it would make the uneasiness in his chest go away, but he was still so anxious. Would calling him really be so bad? At least he tried. Mika would know he's putting effort in, unless he completely messes up. They'll just talk on the phone. That's all it'll be, a talk. Nothing more, nothing less. They don't have to talk long, but Mika will know he's trying. Yuu took a deep breath and unlocked his phone again. Instead of thinking about it, Yuu slammed his finger down on the call button and his phone started ringing. He brought it to his ear, and as more rings went by, the more defeated he felt. The last ring ended and Mika's voicemail started. You felt like he had been rejected and he didn't know what to do. Mika's cute voice made him want to keep listening to the little message, but he stayed too long because it made the tone to inform the listener to start speaking. He was silent for a good ten seconds, but he finally cleared his throat. “H-hey Mika. I um I just uh…I just wanted to talk to you...Um, p-please call me back. I'm really board while shopping and u-uh after hearing your message for your voicemail, I uh w-want to hear your voice more.” Yuu's heart was pounding so loud in his ears that he can't even hear himself. Does he sound stupid? Will Mika think he's being annoying? “A-anyways…um I uh miss you? A-and wanna see or talk to you so please call me back. B-bye Mika.” Yuu slammed the end call button and shoved the phone in his pocket. He felt really hot. Like not in the sexual kind of turned on way. Like his whole body felt stuffy and like it could light on fire any minute now. He felt like a fool. He must have sounded so stupid and he just wants to crawl in a hole and die. If he could go back in time, he would have never done that and just gone to his house, but now he feels like he can't even look at Mika! What is this feeling? Why is his heart beating so fast? Is this what you call embarrassment? Is he embarrassed? This has never happened before! What the hell is happening to him! Yuu brought his hands to his face to wipe away the sweat coating his skin, but paused when he noticed how warm he felt. Is he sick? Maybe he should go to the doctors? Akane had a stuffy nose this week but she never got a fever. Maybe he just got we she got, but a little worse? Yeah, that has to be it. Yuuichirou hyakuya doesn't get embarrassed. There's no way that will ever happen. Just breath Yuu. Just breath. Yes, that's it. He doesn't feel as hot anymore and his heart is slowing down. He just needs to lay down. Should he head home?  But Valentine's is tomorrow, so he needs to find something today. He was now cool and collected, so Yuu started his search for Mika's present again when he froze at the vibrating phone in his pocket. He felt his heart start to pick back up and he slowly pulled his phone back out of his pocket. He couldn't control the hotness traveling across his body when he saw the caller ID. Incoming call Mika. He debated ignoring him and hiding, but Mika called him. This is the first time Mika has ever called him and it'd be risking it if Mika thought he wasn't important enough for him to answer. So Yuu's shaky thumb hovered over the answer button until he quickly dragged it open and brought the phone to his ear. He didn't say anything. He was frozen still. And it stayed like that for several seconds until mika spoke up. “Yuu?” Yuu's could help but release a muffled moan. Mika saying his name has always been a turn on, but keep your shit in your pants Yuu. Mika wouldn't appreciate it and they'd be back at square one. “H-hey Mika.” “Are you okay?” No. “Y-yeah...” It was silent for a few more seconds. “Y-you wanted to talk?” He wanted to talk! He's the one who called Mika first so talk, damnit! Use your stupid mouth, Yuu! Why was this so hard? Why was he so self conscious? This has never happened with anyone before! Why can't he talk?! He's had no problem talking to Mika before so why now?! Just say something, stupid! “Y-you're really pretty.” It was silent again and it made Yuu self conscious of what he said, until Mika giggled a cute laugh. Mika was so fucking adorable it's not even funny. “Thanks, Yuu. Is that what you wanted to tell me?” “N-no…I was uh, w-wondering what your favorite color is.” “Favorite color?” Mika giggled again. “I-it's um…” Yuu couldn't see Mika, but Yuu could tell he was blushing on the other side of the phone. “I-it's green.” That was surprising to Yuu. Mika and green…it just seemed like softer colors fit Mika better. “What's yours?” That's easy. “Blue.” “B-blue?” Mika seemed to find his answer impossible. “Why?” Why? Yuu wasn't sure, but a certain pair of eyes popped in his head, causing Yuu to feel even hotter than before. “B-because…” Now, Yuu has never really put much thought into his actions. He never really thought about it when he spoke harshly to other person or said a mean thing to a girl that made her cry. He didn't care if they thought he was a jerk or offended them, and he's felt that way with pretty much everyone he's encountered in life so far, except for his deceased mother and Akane. Sure, Guren and his friends mean more than life to him, but his family will always hold a special place in his heart. He's yelled at Guren and his friends many times, said some rude shit, but hey, they got over like they should. But Akane…he couldn't live with himself if he made his little sister cry, and and he’ll always feel that way no matter how old she gets. And his mom…well, she's no longer alive, but he always hoped his mom forgave him from up in heaven for whatever hardships he may have caused when he was younger. But that's it. That's all he's ever felt guilty about. He even feels like that with Mika. Or at least it was like that, but that's changed more recently. He hates when Mika's mad at him, and just has the urge to cry when he upsets him. But Yuu keeps saying rude things to him. Why? Yuu never really thought about it until now. But despite this turmoil going on in his head, he couldn't control the words that escaped his lips. Much like a demon who was possessing his soul…he couldn't control it. “Awh, do you think you're special babe? I can guarantee it has nothing to do with you and your average eye color.” once Yuu heard the sobs of Mika on the other side of the phone, realization hit him like a brick wall. No! No, no, no, no! Why did he say that when he meant the complete opposite?! Mika's eye color is anything but average! Why?! Why can't he just say what he means?! Why is he so mean?! “Y-you're such an asshole.” Mika was crying and it made him want to cry. You have to fix this Yuu! Before Mika hangs up and it's even worse than before. “B- bye—“ “W-wait, Mika! I-I'm sorry! I love your eye color! I want our baby to have your eye color! It's anything but average; beautiful, gorgeous, never ending like the sky! I-I'm sorry! Please don't hang up! You're so special to me! You're my mate and…and I hate when you're mad at me!” It was silent again and Yuu pulled the phone away to make sure Mika was still there, until Mika's broken voice picked up again. “I-if you…if you didn't mean it then…then why did you say it?” “I-I don't know. I'm new at this Mika. I'm new at being bound and being romantic. I-I don't know how to do it and, and the reason my favorite color is blue is because of your eyes and I've never said anything like that to anyone before and I didn't know how to so…so I was an ass to hide my embarrassment.” Yuu's was breathing heavy from anxiety and talking so fast. “I-I'm sorry, Mika.” It was quite once more until Mika spoke up again. “It's okay.” He sniffled. “I- Is that why you're always so mean after you do something nice?” Has he done that in the past? “I-I'm sorry. I hadn't realized I've done that.” “Y-you have.” Mika sounded so small right now and it made him feel extremely guilty. “I'm sorry, Mika. I-I don't want you to hate me.” Mika didn't say anything except for his breathy sobs, so Yuu spoke up again. He wanted to him. “Mika?” “Y-yes?” He sniffled. “Do…do you wanna come over? I want you to try talking to Akane again.” “Y-yeah,” Yuu heard shuffling as Mika sat up. “Let me get ready.” “Okay,” Yuu couldn't stop his smile from growing larger and larger. “I'll come pick you up, but I have to finish shopping.” “I’ll be waiting.” You could practically see Mika rocking back and forth on his feet as he says that. “B-bye, Yuu chan.” “Bye Mi—“ Yuu completely stopped walking and froze. “W-wait! Yuu ch—“ Before he could finish, Mika hung up, leaving a stunned Yuu with red cheeks. Mika…called him Yuu chan... Mika called him Yuu chan. Mika called him Yuu chan! Yuu jumped for joy, literally. People looked at him funny, but he didn't care. He was so fucking happy that he could die right now and have zero regrets. Mika called him Yuu chan. Not sarcastically like he did in the past. He sounded sincere and like he meant every ounce of the cute nickname. Yuu held a hand on his heart to feel how fast it was beating and he couldn't control the huge grin on his lips. He has to find Mika the perfect present nowt. Mika is special and his present should reflect how much he means to him, so it can't be shitty. Yuu looked around the little shopping center curiously, when he spotted a store across the street that caught his eye. Yuu looked both ways before crossing the busy the road, the peered at the little display in the window from outside. Omega’s nook is what the store is called, and it seemed to have a bunch of comfort items like soft pillows or calming teas that help with heats, and one of the items draped over a chair in the display was perfect for Mika. Yuu just hopes he likes it. ===============================================================================   Mika wasn't sure what to expect from Yuu once he came to the door. It was Tuesday and he did go to school, but Mika found himself changing his outfit so many times he lost count. All his clothes are pretty much the same though; just warm sweaters and leggings that are nice and snug on his baby bump, but Mika did change into something a little bit nicer. It was a flowy dark blue and grey plaid button up that was very warm and concealed his tummy, but Mika did stick with his leggings in a dark charcoal grey color. He also checked the mirror multiple times to make sure his hair looked good or his clothes were laying on his body correctly, and he also put some chapstick on for some reason. Mika didn't get why he was letting today happen when Yuu has been a total ass this past week, but Mika thinks he understands why he was acting that way after their talk on the phone. Yuu doesn't know how to treat him, nor has he ever been in anything like a relationship so this is very…new to him. And Mika can understand what Yuu is feeling now that they've been bound because Mika has the same feelings. Being bound to a person changes you. It makes your emotions more potent and hard to avoid, at least when it comes to your mate. So when Yuu upsets him, he can't hide it. He cries his eyes out and his heart breaks into tiny pieces. His sadness takes over and all he can think about is how upset he is, but it goes the opposite way as well. When Yuu does something nice, Mika feels like he's up in the clouds. He gets so happy that's he's almost giddy and it's extremely difficult to hide from Yuu. But it is impossible to hide from yourself. His feelings feel like they're being screamed in his ear so it's impossible to ignore and pretend they're not there. Yuu is probably feeling the same as well, and like Mika said before, this is new to him. He's not used to having feelings like these so he's rejecting them and acting like an ass to cover them or not let them be seen. That's probably why Yuu has been masking his sweet moments from him with sexual advancements and unkind words since the beginning, but he's just been ten times worse now that they've been bound. He's trying to run away. Mika sighed as he busied himself with picking up the kitchen area. Krul wasn't home yet and she wouldn't be till later in the evening so he made made sure to leave a note for her so she knew where he went. He and Krul have been on…a need to know basis this past week. His sister wasn't stupid and could obviously smell, so she knew about his…encounter with Sora. Mika has always remembered how Krul used to say things along the lines of “I'm not looking forward to when you hit puberty.” Or “promise me you won't be crazy once you show.” Because Krul is his sister and she can't exactly tell him to stop sleeping around because she is not his mother. Mika has never thought of Krul as his mother; she has and will always be his sister. Sure, she acts like his mother and takes care of him like he's her son, but that's because she’s looked after him from such a young age. She was protective of him, so it probably bothered her that he had sex with Sora then came home the following day wth Yuu's scent. But his sister has always been an old fashioned woman and didn't like the idea of him not being bound to his baby daddy, so Mika could see the relief seeping off of her once he came home with Yuu's scent on him. Sighing again, Mika started flipping through the mail, making sure to throw the junk in the garbage and put the bills and coupons in separate piles. He couldn't help but yelp when he heard the doorbell go off, and he quickly dropped the mail and ran to the bathroom to check his hair and clothes. Once he deemed ready, he walked to the front door and unlocked it before opening it to reveal Yuu and his attractive glory. Mika really hates that Yuu is so attractive because it makes Mika want him even more, and being bound makes those feelings the hardest ones to ignore every second they're together. Mika always wants to touch him and he'll accidentally do it when he's zoned out, which always ends by Yuu teasing him about it. Mika hates that cocky bastard, but he knows that's really not the case. “H-hey, Yuu.” Mika awkwardly waved, and Yuu smiled. Yuu actually smiled instead of smirking. Seems he's being honest for once. His eyes then traveled down, Mika' noticing a big bag which Mika assumed is what he went shopping for, and it did look like he was hiding something behind his back. Probably something sexual. “H-happy Valentine's, Mika.” Yuu pulled the item out from his back, and Mika couldn't help but stare like this was all an illusion in his head. You got him flowers. Yuu got him roses. Beautiful red roses. Yuu remembered Valentine's Day? Well, it's not till tomorrow, but Mika expected him to get him nothing. But he got him roses. This was the best gift he could have got him and it made Mika cry tears of joy. Mika knows he shouldn't be crying, but Yuu has never done anything like this for him before. He just felt so emotional that Yuu actually got him something for a romantic holiday. A holiday only meant for couples and Yuu got him flowers…Not lingerie or a sex toy…something romantic. “T-thank you.” Mika whipped his tears away and stepped aside to let Yuu in. Yuu didn't seem to know what to do. Mika thinks he wanted to hug him, but he held himself back. It made Mika a little disappointed, but he can only ask for so much in one day. He already got a nice phone call and flowers so he doesn't need anything else. This already makes him happy enough. Mika accepted the flowers from him and walked back into the kitchen to pretty them up. Yuu was silent as Mika trimmed the rose stems and filled a vase was water. The silence was awkward and Mika was a bit antsy with trembling fingers and jerky movements, but he eventually got the flowers in a clear vase, and  tied the red ribbon that came with the flowers around the neck of the vase. Perfect. Mika thought. He'll take care of these flowers till the day they die. Mika was about to turn around when he felt something warm wrap around his shoulders, and Yuu's big hands came out from behind him to squeeze the blanket around him tight and place his hands on his tummy. “I um, got you guys something else for Valentine's day.” “Y-you guys?” Mika questioned, looking down at the cozy blanket. It was a chunky knit blanket that pooled around his feet a bit and was in a a dusty grey color. It was really soft on your skin, and Mika couldn't help but rub his cheek against the comfy yarn.  “When our baby is born, you can cuddle up on the couch with her and hold her with this blanket. A-and um…maybe I can hold you…” Mika stood there in shock again. He didn't know what to say. Silent tears were streaming down his cheeks and his lips trembled, about to break, but Mika kept silent. His nose quickly stuffed up so he had to open his mouth to breath, and a broken sob slipped out. “W-why are you being so…so nice today?” It was extremely strange to Mika. Yuu called him to talk for no other reason besides asking what his favorite color is and stuttered on the phone like he was the omega in this relationship, he got him flowers and Valentine's Day gift that was something that Mika was actually really looking forward to using, and he's not acting like an ass and hitting on him every second he gets. Sure, he acted like a total douchebag on the phone, but he apologized for it and Mika actually learned why Yuu does some of the things he does. But even when Yuu does something sweet, he usually fucks it up and there's a catch to it that involves something sexual. And this time…there is no catch. Yuu is being kind, and as disturbing as this is to Mika, he's acting like a gentleman and it scared Mika a little. Was this all a dream in his head? Or is Yuu just being nice and there will be a catch later? Like “oh, I was such a good alpha today so you need to show how much you appreciate me.” Wink wink. Mika is stuck with Yuu now, but there's a small part of himself that was okay with being his mate. Not just okay, but was actually excited about it and wanted to go tell Lacus and René how happy he was. But Mika wouldn't give Yuu or his friends the satisfaction they desire when it comes to his and Yuu's relationship. He's not that weak. And yet, he seems to have a soft spot for Yuu. But why? Why does he still wiggle his way into his heart after everything Yuu has done to him? Mika doesn't know, but he is sure on a few things. Despite how much Mika tries to hate Yuu, he can't. Mika can't hate him, and like every omega when it comes to their mate, he craves Yuu's attention and wants to be treated like something special. Mika may have not understood that a few weeks ago, but being bound to Yuu was an eye opener to him. They now have a connection that runs deeper and Mika has needs that he's never wanted to admit to himself. Everything makes sense when he looks at his past self from the present, but that doesn't mean Mika is happy with what he's realizing. Mika is now well aware for his feeling for Yuu. Why Mika has them will always be a mystery to him, but all Mika wants is for Yuu to show he cares about him. Not by pulling him away and fucking his feeling into him; Mika wants words. He wants verbal communication from Yuu which Mika can tell is something Yuu isn't used to. At least when it comes to relationships. But now that Mika is getting treated specially like he desires so much, it was a little nerve racking. Mika doesn't want to open his heart up and end up getting stepped on when it's just Yuu up to his little games again. He doesn't want to lean on Yuu and find himself being happy around his alpha when Yuu is trying to be nice so he can ask something of him. It scared Mika and he doesn't trust Yuu. That's the bottom line, and if Yuu is genuinely being kind, then he has to earn his trust because Mika won't allow himself to end up even more broken hearted. “I think I finally understand something, Mika. Since the second I left that mark on you, I always wondered why. Why did I have the desire to go that? I've never wanted to be bound to someone since long before I was shown as an alpha, so why...” Yuu's voice trailed off as it become less confident. “Y-you see…when I was ten my mom died. She was really sick and they were lucky enough to have me. I love my mom so much and those ten years hold many important memories to me. My mom was the best and I can't imagine my younger years without her. But after she had been gone for a year, my alpha mother found a new girlfriend. I wasn't happy with it. I was only 11, and one year was too soon for me to move on, and that's one of the reasons it happened.” Yuu took a deep breath and shifted his hands on Mika's tummy .  “If you think I'm possessive, you should have seen Akane’s mother. There would be marks all over my mother to hide my deceased moms scent. She was crazy in love with my mother, but I didn't like it. I was only 11 so I said what I thought, like I do now. I told my mother I didn't like my step mother, but she didn't listen because she was just as obsessed with her as Akane’s mother was with my mother.” “My step mother didn't like me because of that, and because I was my moms child. I was a child made from my alpha mother and my omega mom, and my step mother hated anything to do with my mom. She eventually started abusing me when I would speak out against her. I was still a boy and couldn't go against her wishes so I always had my own marks on my body, but my marks were much different.” Yuu sighed and nuzzled up into Mika's hair. “That was just the beginning though because soon, Akane was born. Even though my sister came out of the absolute ugliest creature inside and out, my sister was beautiful and was what kept me going. I took care of her and made sure my step mother couldn't lay a hand on Akane. That made her angry though and often involved her beating me while Akane was in my arms.” Yuu was shaking now, but Mika couldn't tell if it was from sadness or anger. “I-imagine seeing that and going through what Akane went through. She may have been young, but boy does she still remember. She would often wake up while it was happening and the first thing she saw was her mom beating her older brother because I was protecting her and wouldn't let my step mother touch my precious little sister. Akane would cry, begging for her mom to stop, but my step mother saw it as “my baby wants me so give me her, Yuuichirou!” And it just never ended.” “H-how did you get out?” Mika asked. “My teacher saw my bruises and told the school. The rest was taken care of over time and Akane and I got put in the orphanage. It didn't take long for Guren to adopt us and we were safe.” Yuu paused. “But to point of why I told you that depressing ass story. That experience ruined finding a mate for me. I never wanted one, in fear of getting bound to a psycho like my step mother. And that's all who seemed to be attracted to me. The crazy people who fucking bully you because you're pregnant with my baby, because we’re now bound.” Yuu sighed. “I never planned on becoming…how I am today, that just happened from all the attention I got. It went to my head. But…the first thing I thought when you told me you were pregnant was ‘oh, thank god it's Mika.’ I don't know what I would have done if it was any other person besides you because you're special. Because you hated me. Because you didn't see me as an attractive person who you'd do anything to get your hands on.” Yuu's fingers nervously wiggled on Mika's belly, causing the blonde to wiggle a bit from being tickled, but Mika held down his laughter. “Y-you are the one person I made an exception for. You're the one person I wanted to be bound to. Y-you're special to me Mika and…and I couldn't ask for anyone better to have my baby and be my mate.” Even though Yuu was still slightly tickling him, Mika stayed completely frozen and looked down at the floor in shock. Those are the type of words he's longed from Yuu since the very beginning and Mika couldn't be happier, but despite that, Mika noticed he didn't say one thing. “W-what does that mean…?” Yuu's hands froze on his tummy as he looked at Mika a bit confused. “What do you mean what do I mean? I just told you what it means.” “N-no, like…do you like…ya know, like…like me?” “Yes? I just told you you're special.” “No!” Mika was just getting frustrated and embarrassed. “J-just never mind!” Yuu looked at Mika a little curiously, but didn't say anything else. Yuu wonders what goes on in that beautiful head of his. ***** Secrets ***** Chapter Notes idk if i like this chapter... i know i wanted to do this, but i dont know if i did it as best as i could, but i honestly suck at writing lyrics in fics and thats why ive never done it before. ive seen other people write lyrics and i think its done badly and just end up skipping over them...i know, call me a bitch i dont care lol... so i didnt want people to do that and wanted it executed correctly, but i dont think i succeeded aha... but the song is called thank you by dido or you may have heard it in stan by eminem. i had more to say...or maybe i didnt...? idk have fun See the end of the chapter for more notes Mika's beginning to think he’s some sort of masochist and Yuu is a very intense tsundere. Yuu pushes him away with harsh words and sexual advances, and Mika can't help but chase after him for attention. Mika never knew he was so needy in his life, but maybe this is kind of how addiction works. Yuu is like a drug, and Valentine's Day was when his addiction started. He got Yuu's affection, he got his love, so he craves more. He craves it like water. There's always a part of him that wants it, that's dying for more, and Yuu has been very stingy with it. And it frustrates Mika to no end. He's dehydrated in a desert, thirsty for his affection, and Yuu is the one holding a water bottle with his name on it. He dangles it in front of his face, takes a sip and let's the water drip down his chin, until he drops it and the cold liquid flows out of the bottle and absorbs into the sand. Don't get Mika wrong, Yuu doesn't mean to drop the bottle at all. He's clumsy, he trips over his own feet and ruins it for the both of them. Notice how Mika says Yuu trips over his own feet though because that's important. Yuu has every intention of giving Mika what he desires with all his heart and body, but he doesn't know how. He doesn't know how to extend his arm out and hand him that damn bottle. Instead, he gives it to himself. He showers himself with his own affection, until he gets scared. He's scared of the thoughts in his head so he stumbles. What those thoughts are? Mika doesn't know. Mika doesn't know what Yuu is so scared of, but what he does know is how undoubtedly, how unquestionably, how unmistakably dehydrated he truly is, and the only one who can quench his thirst is Yuu. Mika now knows about Yuu's abusive past and he completely understands how he would be scared of having a mate, but they're already mated. They already made that connection, but Yuu is scared of love. Yuu may have already admitted that he wanted to be bound to him and that he was the one person he was okay with being mated with, but Mika can't help but feel like Yuu just said that because he tolerates Mika or because he's having Yuu's baby. They never would have been mated without her, and Mika doesn't regret it at all, but maybe Yuu's just doing this because he thinks he has to. Or because it's his instinct to be mated to the the mother of his child. Mika doesn’t know what Yuu is thinking at all, so he can't help but be worried. As much as Mika hates admitting this to himself, he holds special feelings towards Yuu, so Mika is nervous that he's the only one who holds these feelings in their relationship. He doesn't want to be one of those people who Yuu drops because he's board of them. He's scared that Yuu will stop hitting on because Mika's not letting him in, then he'll go run to some other omega to pass by the time. He's scared that all Yuu will ever hold is a sexual desire for him and he's stuck with these feelings for the rest of his life. He's scared that their relationship will stay like this forever and that's a scary thought for multiple reasons. Mika has sexual desires towards Yuu. That was very clear when they got mated, but he's worried that after he's had their baby and Mika has heats again, he won't be able to push Yuu away. You're probably thinking, Why would he want to push him away? They're mated now so what's wrong with having sex? Well, it's because if Mika succumbs to his desires, Yuu would hold that over his head. He'd think it'd be an every time thing like what he wanted after the very first time they had sex. And soon, their relationship would only be sex. There would be no love, and Mika would suffocate if that were the case. Mika wants Yuu's affection. He wants his kind words, he wants his soft touches, and he wants romantic gestures. Mika is upset that the only kisses they've shared were all during sex and they weren't romantic at all. They were heated and angry, and Mika doesn't want that at all. Mika would cry out of joy if Yuu just kissed him with the intent to just kiss. Or it doesn't even have to be on the lips and he kisses his forehead, hand, cheek, just somewhere pure and chaste. Mika wants to be kissed by him. He wants to bask in the sensation of Yuu's lips and actually take in what it feels like, what his emotions are, and how Yuu kisses him. Is it light with just a peck? Or is it soft and a little wet? Does his throat make a noise in satisfaction? Or is it silent? Or even a little click of their lips? Mika just wants to kiss him slowly and really study it, study Yuu's lips, study their texture, the shape of them, how plump they are… But that's just one romantic gesture. Mika wants to go on a date with Yuu, hold his hand, cuddle, just everything. And he wants Yuu to do it purely. Not because he thinks Mika will do a sexual favor for him. He wants Yuu to be romantic with him just because he wants to and because he likes him romantically. But Mika's beginning to think that will never happen again with how things are going. Sighing sadly, Mika glanced around the large gym, which happened to be occupied by their class. The gym currently had basketball set up, which the male alphas were doing. The female alphas and betas were playing volleyball. The beta males were jogging up on the track track above the gym and all the omegas were in a corner stretching their bodies out. Mika was off to the side by the volleyball net because he's not aloud to participate in gym since he's pregnant. It's one of the perks of being pregnant in high school, but the death glares he was getting from the betas playing volley was not one of them. Mika tried to ignore them, and stared at Yuu through his bangs while he sat on the gym floor with his legs stretched out. Yuu was good at basketball, so Mika couldn't help but watch every movement he made. The black t-shirt he wore would move a bit faster than the rest of his body and a sliver of his toned stomach would show when he jumped into the air to grab the ball. But it was only for a moment before gravity did its job and pulled the article down, along with the rest of his body. Yuu’s bangs were clipped back, but Mika could see his dark hair sticking to the rim of his face from working so hard and his sweat practically glistened on his tan skin. Yuu's white shorts swooshed as he dribbled the ball and avoided another player, but then he jerked back and jumped up to shoot the ball into the net. He of course made it, and a couple alphas on his team smacked his back to congratulate him on yet another point. But Mika stiffened and turned his whole face to the court when someone smacked his ass right on the cheek. Mika knows it's a guy thing, a “bro” thing, but he couldn't help but hate it. He felt jealous and angry, and he wanted Yuu to look at him. He wanted him to just spare a glance or maybe wink, and say “That point was for you.” but it was like waiting for it to rain in the desert. “Yuu chan…” Mika whispered to himself. He looked down at his tummy, where there was an flowy long sleeve shirt covering his now over five month old bump. He was getting larger by the day, and it was now clear that he was pregnant. Mika didn't like to touch his baby in public, especially in school because he knows it weirds some people out, but Mika couldn't help but place his hands under his shirt to try and feel his baby move around. Mika just felt like he was all on his own…Like Yuu would never care about him like Mika cares about Yuu. Don't ask why Mika feels that way because he doesn't know. He just felt sad and alone, and needed to be comforted. Mika kept his head lowered and focused on the sensations under his finger tips. He stroked his rounded tummy, and pressed his palms to his skin to try and send his baby warmth. “I love you,” he hushed, tracing little hearts on his skin. “You'll have my back no matter what, right? Even when your daddy doesn't…you'll let me hold you, right?” Mika sadly smiled down at her and tickled his tummy a bit, which caused his baby to patter her feet like little fishes were swimming around in there. “Is that a yes, peanut?” Mika giggled, and his smile grew happier when the fluttering continued to stir inside him. “You're going to be a handful with how much you wiggle around, you little pumpkin. You’ll get into everything in sight, won't you.” Mika poked his tummy in a teasing manor and he couldn't help but feel all warm and tingly when he could practically hear his baby giggling like the little angel she is. Mika smiled again and moved a hand up to his face to tuck a strand of hair behind his ear. “What should we name you, sweetheart? I've been thinking a lot about it since we went and checked up on you last month.” Mika dragged the back of his fingers against his pale skin and tilted his head to the side in thought. “Emiliza is a gorgeous name that I love. It means beautiful blessing because you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.” Mika then frowned and closed his eyes in thought. “If you look like your daddy though, I love the name Jade or Ivey for a boy. We shouldn't let those beautiful eyes of your dads go to waste, but don't feel bad if you have my eyes. Your daddy told me he wished you had them, so you're going to have to pick favorites on which one of us you want to please.” Mika giggled and opened his eyes to tickle his tummy again. “If you have Yuu's dark hair, then I love the name Ash for a boy and Zelda or Luna for a girl. I also like the name Leo, but I don’t think that fits you. It's a very masculine and loyal name, but it just doesn't sit right with me. And I won't have anything less than perfect for you, pumpkin.” “You must think you're so special having Yuu's baby and being his mate.” Mika looked up, to find a beta girl on his class glaring at him from her spot on the volleyball court. “I-I don't think that.” “You were just talking to it like you are.” Mika flinched. “I-I was just feeling lonely…” “Leave Mika alone!” Mitsuba yelled from across the court. “If you had Yuu's child, you'd brag about to the world, so shut up!” “You're not in this!” She yelled to Mitsuba, but the beta then turned back to Mika and practically hissed at him. “Just quit acting like you're better than everyone.” Mika wanted to cry. He didn't mean to be annoying. He doesn't think he's special because he's Yuu's mate or because he's having his baby. Mika loves his baby because she's his baby. It wouldn't matter who the father is; he'd lover his baby no matter what. But Mika can't help but be happy that he's having Yuu's baby because despite the way Yuu treats him, Yuu cares for their baby and Mika knows he'll treat her well. Sure, Mika wishes he'd get Yuu's affection as well, but Mika's starting to understand what being a parent means because he'll be happy as long as his baby is happy. Mika's also likes that Yuu is the father because he loves this baby. He loves the exact baby in his tummy. He wouldn't trade anything; he wants her. He wants the growing child in his tummy. He may have never technically met her, but he has. The flutters in his tummy when he talks to her, the cute face he sees on the monitor which she shields by rubbing her hands against her cheeks, and how she sucks on her thumb so cutely. How his baby can practically feel his emotions, and when he's upset, she wiggles around like she's saying “I'm here, mama. You've always got me.” It makes his heart sore and warm up. And when he plays soft music, his baby relaxes, like the sound on the stereo calms her. He loves this baby. He wants this exact baby and he wouldn't trade her for the world. So Mika doesn't appreciate his classmate calling her an it like she was a nuisance. It made Mika want to cry… Mika sadly looked down at his tummy before slowly standing up and waddling out of the gym. He ignored the snickers of his classmate, but did peek over at Yuu who still continued to play basketball. It's like he doesn't care about him at all. He sighed and left the large gym to make his way to the infirmary. The teacher saw him leave, but didn't seem to mind that he was doing so. He probably thought he needed something to drink or to stretch his body out…something like that. Mika kept his hand under his shirt and grazed his fingertips against his tummy. “You're not an ‘it’, sweetheart.” He whispered just to her. “Both mama and daddy love you lots…” He wanted to lay down. So Mika frowned and hummed a sad tune as he walked down the hall then entered the nurses office. No one was there, so Mika invited himself in and closed the curtain around one bed before laying down and tucking himself into the fetal position. He rubbed his tummy softly and closed his eyes as he thought about Yuu. What did Mika even like about him? He asks himself that question all the time. Yuu is an asshole, but he has his soft side. Mika can see under that mask he puts on and see how kind he truly is. But Sora is kind too, so what makes Yuu so special? Maybe there's a part of him that likes being teased by Yuu, or likes that he hits on him. But that's very little to go on… What Mika believes is that he has a natural attraction towards Yuu, and he has since the very first day he met him. It just felt like how it was supposed to be; like it was his instinct to be mated to him, and that's why he allowed you to make the mark and why he made it back. Because truth is, Mika knows barely anything about either Yuu. And what he means by that is the masked Yuu, the Yuu who flirts with him and keeps his tough charade up, and the real Yuu, the Yuu who loves his little sister, was abused by his step mother, or can act romantic in a completely dorky way. There's no way he could have grown feelings for Yuu because he loves his personality or because they're so close and like a best friend. Mika wants to know everything about Yuu, so he wants to know about his masked and true self. What about him is fake? Does he really enjoy playing sports? Is he really that big of an asshole? Mika doesn't even know Yuu's hobbies, his likes, dislikes...What would he do if someone got too close to him? Would he push them away or learn to accept that someone is trying to find what he's hiding? Mika's scared that if he gets too close, Yuu will push him away more than he already is. Mika doesn't want to be rejected, and he's already self conscious of their relationship. If Yuu just…if he just gave him some sort of sign that he likes him romantically, Mika would be more confident. Because he hasn't done anything since Valentine's Day and that was a month ago… Mika sadly looked down at his tummy and continued to caress and love his baby. The atmosphere grew sorrow as he hummed his song and fluttered his eyes closed. Mika saw Yuu once he did, he saw him having sex with Aoi, he saw him flirting with his doctor, and he saw Yuu using their baby as an object to pick up girls. Mika eventually felt tears slip down his cheeks as sleep drifted over him and he sang down to his baby. “My teas gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all… The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all... And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall—“ Mika smiled and ran his fingers under his tummy. “It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad…” ===============================================================================   Yuu popped his head up from playing basketball when he felt a bit…odd. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, but it feels heavy…very heavy. What was this feeling? It just came out of no where and it made feel anxious. It made him completely freeze and stare at the wall like an idiot. “Yuu!” Yuu quickly turned his head to the right, but it was too late because the orange basketball smacked him right in the face. Yuu held his nose in pain and glared at the alpha who threw the ball at his fucking face. “What. The. Fuck?!” “S-sorry…” he stuttered, backing away a bit. “It's not his fault you zoned out like an idiot.” Kimizuki scuffed as he walked up to Yuu. The pink haired alpha was expecting Yuu to snap at him, but he just kept his head lowered glumly. “What the hell is wrong with you?” “Nothing…” Yuu pulled his hand from his face to check for blood, and luckily he was clean. “I'm fine.” “Well something's obviously up.” Kimizuki folded his arms across his chest and leaned in a bit. “You gotta take a shit or something?” “God! No!” Yuu pushed him away and groaned, but his head was still lowered, an obvious sign that something was up because his head was usually held high with cocky confidence. Kimizuki grabbed Yuu's sweaty bicep and pulled him off the court and towards the bleachers. “Yuu, what is it? You're actually scaring me.” “I just— I just feel weird.” He looked down at his hands and wiggled his fingers. “I feel sad.” “And it come out of no where?” Yuu nodded, and Kimizuki looked around the gym curiously, looking for a certain blonde. Once he didn't see the omega, Kimizuki scuffed and glared at Yuu. “Do you remember learning about connection links?” “Yeah?” Yuu looked up at him oddly, not expecting to be asked that. “It happens with mates that have an extraordinary connection. It barely happens though. A bonded pair would be lucky to experience it once in their life.” “Yep.” Kimizuki rolled his eyes and smacked Yuu in the chest before walking away. “You lucky shit. How does an asshole like you get that.” “What'd you call me?!” “Nothing…” Kimizuki sighed. “Go find Mika.” “Mika? Why?” “Goddamnit, just go! You seriously piss me off!” Yuu was baffled, but he didn't feel like getting into an argument, so he shrugged and looked around for his omega. Strange, Mika was sitting over by the volleyball court last time he checked, but there wasn't a sign of him. Yuu made his way over to the omegas in their class, who were stretching on mats. He knew he wouldn't be there, but he needed a favor from Yoichi. Yuu was now walking with confidence as he approached the omegas in their class. A lot of them were watching him come over, so he reached a hand up to his head and ran his fingers through his hair with alluring eyes. Once he got to the group, he bent over and tapped his brunette friend on the shoulder. “Yoichi?” The omega popped up, and turned around with a wide smile. “Hi, Yuu kun! What's up?” “Can you do me a favor and see if Mika's in the omega locker room?” “Sure thing!” He beamed, hopping up on his feet. “I'll be right back.” Yoichi walked away and into the locker room, leaving Yuu alone with the omegas. He smiled at them, which caused several blushes. “You guys sure are flexible.” He smirked, leaning over a bit. “You know, alphas love a flexible omega. They can do so many wonderful things with their bodies.” They blushed and several of them spoke up, bragging about how they could do the splits, or touch their feet to their heads. Yuu chuckled and held his hands up in surrender. “I can't hear all your beautiful voices when you talk over each other.” That just made them even louder though, and they continued like that until Yoichi exited the locker room and came back over. “He wasn't in there.” Yoichi frowned, looking down at his feet. “Do you know where he went?” “I'll go look.” Yuu turned around and waved a hand over his head before leaving. Once he got out of the hallway, Yuu looked around everywhere. He wasn't in their classroom, but Mika's stuff was there so he didn't go home. He wasn't in any of the empty classrooms either, or by the vending machines. He looked in common areas people sit in, the cafeteria, the bathrooms, everywhere. Where the hell did he go? Yuu was actually really worried. What if something happened? And it's not like he could call Mika either because Yuu checked for his phone in Mika's stuff and it was zipped away in a pocket. Mika really needs to carry his phone around with him because something may happen where he needs to contact him! So he was now nervously walking around the school, hoping Mika was just exploring and he'd run into him. Maybe he should ask the principal if he can make an announcement on the P.A.? Or maybe Mika's avoiding him... Yuu sadly looked down at his feet and fiddled with his fingers as guilt traveled into his heart. But Yuu shook it away. The baby…it's probably about the baby. What happens when you have babies? You crave food, but he already looked in the cafeteria and by the vending machines. Mika gets cold, but it's not like it's warm outside so he can't go there to heat back up. He could be sick or having stomach problems, but he already looked in every bathroom this school has. He could be tired or need medical help, so maybe he went to the nurses office? That has to be it! Yuu didn’t care about disturbing any classes as he ran down the hallway and towards the infirmary. He prayed to god that Mika was there, safe and sound, but just needed medicine or something. But once he got to the door, he held his hand around the knob, but stayed frozen when it came to actually opening the door. He took his hand off the knob and placed it back on several times before keeping it off and turning around to leave… “Yuuichirou?” Someone walked out of the nurses office, causing Yuu to freeze. “I was about to go run an errand. Mind watching your mate for me?” Yuu turned around to find the female nurse closing the door behind her. “Is Mika okay?” “He's sleeping.” The nurse said. “I would feel better about leaving if you watched him though. I don't like leaving a pregnant omega defenseless and out in the open like that.” “Can't you just lock the door?” The nurse looked at him curiously. “I was going to do that but I'd feel better if you watched him.” “I don't...I uh,“ Yuu sighed, then finally stepped forward. “Okay, I'll watch him. Are you sure he's sleeping?” “Soundly.” The nurse reassured. Nodding, Yuu stepped around the nurse and entered the room, ignoring the funny look she gave him. Once in, he sat down in the a chair off to the side and hummed the song stuck in his head. He stared at the curtain keeping him from seeing Mika, until Yuu got board of it and looked around the white room curiously. But his eyes always ended up flashing back to the curtain until he couldn't stand it anymore and stalked forward. He gently opened the white sheet to find Mika in all his glory. He was beautiful. Mika was curled up on top of the bed with one hand resting on his belly, and the other was lying limply near his face. His legs were bent up and as close to his chest as possible because there was a five month old baby in his tummy that kept him from curling up all the way. Mika wore a cozy long sleeve shirt that went off his shoulders, but he was growing breasts for their child, so he had a sports bra that looked like one a growing child would wear. He had leggings on like usual and his boots were untied and sitting on the floor next to the bed, revealing Mika's cute little feet and toes. Yuu smiled at his curly hair sprawled out on the pillow so elegantly like a masterpiece. It was so golden and beautifully crafted like silk. His lips were plump and kissable with a beautiful shade of pink, and they looked as soft as a cloud that he just wants to touch. His eyelids fluttered in his sleep and Yuu could see a blonde eyelash resting on his cheek that looked so lonely. Yuu didn’t know what possessed him to do this, but he couldn't stop his hand from reaching up and rubbing it on Mika's cheek. He ran his finger on his hair, feeling how soft it was for himself. Yuu's eyes were lidded and drowsy as he took in Mika's reactions. How he nuzzled a bit into his hand and hummed like a purring kitty. Yuu eventually sat next to Mika on the bed and traced the features on his face. His soft cheeks, cute nose, rounded chin, and under his hair on his forehead. His fingertips just barely grazed against him on his smooth skin and Yuu couldn't help but him the song stuck in his head, until the lyrics came out and warmed Yuu's chest. “My teas gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all… The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all... And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall—“ Yuu smiled and trailed his fingers back up to cup Mika's cheek. “It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad…” Yuu continued to sing the lyrics over and over as his fingers traced down Mika's body and stopped at his baby. He placed his hand over Mika's on his tummy and tickled his fingers against his omegas hand a bit, but Yuu's eyes would flash up to the blondes to make sure he wasn't waking up. “Drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain... I missed the bus and there'll be hell to pay, I'm late for work again... And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day... And then you'd call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad…” He traced his fingers back up and over to Mika's small hand on the bed, and took it in his own. Yuu caressed his thumb on Mika's skin and leaned over his petite body. Everything was in slow motion…The way the curtain rustled around from the draft in the room, the white noise, and Yuu's soft humming…It made everything so comfortable and pleasant. Yuu closed his eyes and pressed a kiss on Mika's cheek, but paused when he heard a soft mumble. “Yuu…” Yuu shot up off the bed and released his hand on Mika's. He stayed completely frozen and silent as Mika stirred around in his sleep. He stretched his body around a bit, but sighed contently and kept dozing off. Mika squeezed the hand that was just moments ago connected to Yuu's, but it wasn't there anymore, along with Yuu. The door clicked behind him and Mika stayed fast asleep, unaware of the events that just played out, the events Mika was dying to see, but Yuu didn't want him to. Why? Nobody knows… Not even Yuu. Chapter End Notes oh! oh! i remember what else, but im typing it down here. we learned some potential names for mini mikayuu! yay! im honestly still undecided...like i know the gender, which im not telling you, but idk if i like the name i thought i was going with. so if you wanna say what name you like for both or either gender i would appreciate it. i had a lot of trouble finding boy names that i think will fit their kid. like i like a lot of boy names, but they just felt very wrong...so you can suggest a boy name or even a girl, but i have a lot i like for a girl. girl names are much easier for me. so depending on what people like or whatever gets the most suggestions, i may pick that name. no promises tho. oh, and im the type of person that likes kind of unique names that have meaning or really elegant ones. like my name... hannah... come on mom and dad. get your act together i want a cool ass name. i guess my name is spelt the same forwards as it is backwards tho. yay... ahah i hope i didnt just offend anyone. i apologize in advance ***** Endings ***** Chapter Summary you guys are going to kill me... im sorry this took so long and im sorry this chapter was so short. i promise next chapter will be longer and it will be up quicker. soo... have fun lol Love. What is love? What does it feel like to be in love? To have someone that's the light of your life, which you couldn't live without, to cherish and to hold till death do them part. What is it like to have a person like that in your life? To have a mate that you can truly say all those things about.  Mika honestly doesn't know. He doesn't know what love feels like. Or should he say, what love should feel like. Mika knows he's in love with Yuu but it makes him want to laugh. His love doesn't make him smile, he doesn't hold him close, tell him he loves him, or even acts kindly towards him. His love is suffocating and makes him sad. But it wasn't just the way his mate treats him, it’s also how he treats other people. Granted, Yuu isn't treating them any different than he teats him, but that's the problem. He's just another omega and that was very obvious by the scene playing out in front of him.  Yuu was flirting with another omega while Mika was supposedly away. He was doing it behind his back and it made Mika jealous. Not jealous in the way that Mika wants Yuu to flirt with him because Yuu already does that, but jealous in a way that makes Mika wish he was them. That he was a carefree omega with a hot alpha hitting on him. Mika wished he could go back to the time when that's all his and Yuu's relationship was. Just two people who thought the other was attractive, and not when there's all these feelings burdening Mika's heart. He wished he could go back to the time where Mika would just roll his eyes when he saw Yuu hitting on someone, and not feel this stabbing pain in his heart… What an ass he is for doing this with two girls at a baby store, with his scent on Yuu’s skin, and a baby in Mika's tummy. This is cheating…Yuu is cheating on him, but can you even his and Yuu's relationship just that, a relationship? They don't do things most mates do. They don't go on dates, hold hands, kiss, nothing… They don't do things that mates should do, so is Yuu really not cheating on him and Mika is just misunderstanding their relationship?  Mika shook his head, and decided to leave Yuu alone with the two girls. He has the scanner in his hand so he doesn't need Yuu's help. He can do this by himself.  They came to the baby store to set up the registry for their baby shower. They give you a little scanner and you go through the store and scan everything you want. He was doing it with Yuu for the most part, but Mika just went a off on his own for a few minutes to look at some furniture, and when he came back, Yuu was flirting with two girls who probably came to buy a gift for their friend. Yeah, those girls have bad taste for being attracted and flirting someone who already has a mate, but Mika has even worse taste for falling in love with a guy who flirts with girls while shopping for their baby.  Mika didn't know what he was thinking. He usually wasn't so weak. Mika didn't know why he left Yuu to flirt with other people, but he just…He can't deal with this right now. Mika feels numb and he needed to get away. He didn't want to see Yuu flirting with other people, and he doesn't want to think about it, so he held his tummy and scanned the shelves up and down. He was in the bath section was currently looking at the bathtubs. Mika wanted the best for his baby and this tub was a little pricy, but it had a temperature reader to make sure the water wasn't too cold or hot, and it had a scale so they could see how how much her growth rate is. Mika remembers seeing it in Yuu's cart when he went through his laptop, and if he remembers correctly, it had good reviews. Plus the price tag has a little star on it so that means it's a best selling product for registries.  Smiling, Mika scanned the price tag, then continued down the aisle. He scanned some bath toys, water scoops, and safety items for when the baby is big enough to take a bath in the big tub. He also scanned some soft washcloths and towels for her, and some body wash, shampoo and conditioner.  Mika was about to move to the potty stuff, but he jumped when he felt a hand around his waist so it was resting on his hip. “We gotta get this disco light babe. Can you imagine our baby taking a bath and she like starts dancing?” Yuu chuckled to himself and held said disco light up for Mika to see. “Look how cute this is.”  Mika just stared at him and faintly nodded. Yuu's hand around his waist was very warm and made Mika completely forget that he was mad him. “Okay..” Mika smiled a little and scanned the light. “I picked this bathtub.” He said, pointing to the object he mentioned. “I hope that's alright.” “That's the one I like too.” Yuu then removed his hand on Mika's waist and walked down the aisle a little more. The loss of touch made Mika snap out of his delusion and he held his hand over his tummy.  “Yuu,” Mika said, getting the ravens attention. “Where did you go?” “Oh, I had to go to the bathroom. I drank a ton of water at work and never got the chance to go.”  If Mika didn't know better, he would have believed him. Is lying that easy for Yuu? How often does he do it? Has he been flirting with people this whole time and Mika just hasn't noticed? It made him dizzy and his chest ached even more. This is too much for him to handle and it's not healthy. It's not healthy for him or for the baby. He needs to get away. Away from Yuu…from all this. What did Mika do to deserve this? He gets good grades, never lied to his mom, Krul, or his teachers. He doesn't break the law, and follows the rules, so what on earth did he do to deserve Yuu, to deserve this treatment and these lies. What was all that Yuu said when they had sex for the second time? About how he never wants Mika to leave him, that he stopped having sex with other people for him, how Yuu called him his, and how he told him he can't see Sora. Why should Yuu be the one who gets to demand all this when he's not even playing by his own rules. If Yuu doesn't want him to leave, then why is he pushing him away. If Yuu supposedly stopped having sex with other people, then why does he flirt with them? Why should Mika get to be entirely Yuu's when Yuu doesn't belong to him. And why isn't Mika aloud to see Sora when Yuu lies about who he's with. Well Mika's had enough. He stomped over to Yuu and shoved the scanner in his hand. Yuu looked puzzled by his actions, but Mika didn't care, and turned around to walk away. “Hey, Mika! Where are you going?” Yuu followed after him, but Mika ignored him. He doesn't need Yuu. He can do this by himself. He can take care of his baby by himself. He doesn't need a shitty alpha by his side because he wouldn't have done any good anyways.  Mika pulled his phone out and called the number he's been ignoring for the past month. Hopefully he isn't angry, but Mika's ready now. He's ready to forget Yuu, to leave all of him behind and stomp on the memories they share. He's ready to move forward, to find a mate that actually cares about him and doesn't cheat on him.  He's ready to be happy.  “Mika…?” An unsure voice spoke through the phone, and Mika is just happy that he didn't ignore him.  “Sora,” Mika breathed into the speaker, lips slightly trembling as he feels tears may slip out. “I-I'm sorry, but can you pick me up? I'm at buy buy baby.” “W-where have you been? I thought you were mad at me for…for having sex with you.” “No,” Mika softly shook his head, but Sora couldn't see him. “Can we get dinner? I'll um, I'll explain everything…If you still want to talk to me when you see me.” He is mated to Yuu now so he would completely understand.  “Mika!” Yuu grabbed his shoulder and turned him around. “Who are you talking to?” “Is that Yuu?” Sora asked. Mika ignored Sora for now, and held his cellphone to his chest. He faced Yuu with a tall frame and strong shoulders, but he could only fake his emotions so much. Silent tears streamed down his cheeks, and it was too blurry for Mika to see Yuu's expression. Jagged, quickened breaths left his lungs, and his shoulders started to tremble as he held back his emotions. He couldn't though, and a soft sob left his lips.  “M-Mika…?” Yuu reached out to touch him, but it's too late. It's too late for him to be sorry. Yuu had a month to apologize, so he rejected it. He redirected Yuu's hand with the back of his palm and shoved it over his shoulder. Tears were still falling, but Mika refused to break. Not here. Not now. Not in front of Yuu.  “I'm done.” Mika's broken voice slipped out, and he moved his hand down to hold his tummy. “W-we don't need you. We don't need somebody who lies and cheats. I've waited over a month, Yuu. I've waited for you to tell me you care, but it's just…it's never going to happen. I'm tired of you jerking my emotions around. I'm tired of getting my heart broken time after time. I'm tired of waiting for you when I already know the exact type of person you are. You lie, you cheat, you fuck with me and you're total ass.” “M-Mika…” Yuu took a step closer, and cupped his cheek. Mika couldn't push him away and he hates himself for it. There he goes again…getting his hopes up, but Mika knows it's only temporary, because soon, he's back to the normal egocentric ass Mika always new he was.  “You were supposed to be my Prince Charming. Y-You were supposed to make all my fairytales come true. You were supposed to save me from the witch who tried to rape me, but you didn't. Somebody else did, and because of you, they probably moved on. They probably don't care about me anymore, and that's because I waited for you. Waited for my prince, but I was looking at the wrong one. So I'm done. I'm done waiting for a miracle. I'm done waiting for my Prince Charming.”   Mika tore his face from Yuu's hand, and turned back around. He couldn't even see Yuu's expression from the fat tears swimming in his eyes, but Mika didn't care. He doesn't want to see it. It didn't matter what it looked like because Yuu is out of his life now and he's done. He's done trying to fix things, so even if Yuu regrets his actions, it doesn't matter because no matter how much he apologizes, he's done.  He's done waiting for his Prince Charming. ***** Determination ***** Chapter Notes ANNOUNCEMENT: AOI IS NOT MITSUBAS SISTER/ ahem, sup guys... lol aoi and mitsubas sister are two different people. when i named aoi for this story, i completely forgot about aoi sangu. a few people have commented about her being mitsubas sister and it just kind of flew right over my head. then one day it just...hit me and i was like well fuck. i kept forgetting to tell you guys tho. so no, yuu has not fucked mitsubas sister.. thats fucking weird. like who ships that? no offense if you do tho... few more things. summer has started and that means my life gets ten times more hectic thanks to the wonderful children i work with. im literally working over 50 hours a week between three jobs and i kind of jacked up my wrist so it hurts to write.. hmm, yep dats it. have fun~ Mika silently sniffled to himself as he wiggled his toes in his converse sneakers and fiddled his thumbs on the table. He's calmed down for the most part, but his eyes were still red and his nose was stuffy. He also has a raging headache and he was craving something sweet. Like cream cheese stuffed French toast with strawberries, whip cream and syrup on top. God that sounds heavenly… Mika was just trying to distract himself. Yuu didn't follow him out of the store, but he did call out to him, saying sorry for things Yuu didn't even know he needed to apologize for. It's obvious Yuu doesn't understand what he's done wrong, and until he does, Mika isn't accepting any apologies. He needs to know what he's done wrong before saying sorry, but Mika finds himself being very unsure with himself. What are his next steps? What does he do from now on?  Sighing, Mika took a sip of his iced tea with lemon and set fiddled with the straw. But it was missing something…Much like what Mika was feeling right now. He felt incomplete and needs that little bit of sugar in his life, but Mika doesn't know what kind of sugar. He eyed the packets in their little container and touched each color with a light hand. Pink, yellow, white, and blue…Pink is sweet n low, yellow is splenda, white is regular sugar, and blue is aspartame. Mika never knew picking what kind of sugar to put in tea would be so difficult, but it felt like a metaphor for Mika's next step. Pink, or sweet and low is the sugar substitute. That option is to find somebody to pass by the time with. To fake him into happiness and lose himself with another partner to substitute the love that Mika craves from Yuu. Yellow, or Splenda is the fake sugar. The sugar where Mika forces fake emotions on himself to trick himself into happiness. White or real sugar is the actual sweet stuff. To find a way to be happy without Yuu and to find somebody else he loves. Or there's the blue packet and that's aspartame, the cancerous type of sugar, sugar that nothing good will happen from using it. That option is to go back to Yuu. To ignore everything Yuu has put him through and wind up dying because there's no cure for the disease of Yuuichirou.  Frowning, Mika picked up one of each color packet and laid them out in front of him. Substitute, fake, happiness, and cancer. Mika knows what the right choice is so why can't he pick that damn white packet up and pour three of them in his tea? Why do his eyes keep boring into the blue packet when nothing good would come of it? When. When did Mika get to be so weak? Why can't he choose the sugar that's best for himself and for his baby when it's so fucking obvious? And why can't Mika leave Yuuichirou behind when he's done so much shit to him? “Having trouble?”  Mika looked up to the new voice, and smiled at the handsome alpha who Mika has greatly missed. Sora met him at a little diner which was near the baby store so Mika could get away from Yuu as quickly as possible. Mika was a little nervous though because Sora doesn't know he's bound to Yuu. But the look on his face as he sat across from him at the booth makes Mika think that he's not too surprised. He looks almost relieved, like there was a heavy burden lifted off his shoulders at the smell of Yuu's scent on him. Mika didn't understand why because Mika thought they would try their relationship again, but maybe Sora really is over him. He was gone for over a month so it's only natural that Sora moved on.  “So you're bound to Yuu?”  Mika nodded silently and reached his hand back to touch the bruise Yuu made behind his ear. They never heal so it was a bit tender, but Mika found himself touching it every so often to make sure it was there. It's a habit he wasn't very pleased about, especially since he just broke it off with Yuu.  “Yeah,” Mika swallowed thickly and looked down at his sugar packets. “I-It was kind of a heat of the moment thing. I hope that doesn't change our friendship.” “About that.” Mika looked up at the auburn haired alpha nervously, and shuffled around under his gaze. It was a soft look, so Mika didn't understand why he was so nervous, but he supposed there was a chance that Sora could not want to be friends anymore. “I'm actually in a relationship right now. She's a beta and is a little like you. I'm happy with her so we can only be friends, Mika.” Mika nodded, letting the words sink into his brain as he pulled one calf under his other thigh. So Sora found someone else. Mika is happy for him. Sure, he's a little disappointed that they can't try again, but he's okay with it. Someone as nice and attractive as Sora shouldn't be with him anyways. Mika has too much baggage. “She won't be angry that we're eating dinner though, right?” “No, she's okay with it.” Sora smiled genuinely and pulled a menu out to look over the options. But he did go straight to a certain part of the pamphlet like he already knew what he wanted. “I called her before I came and she understands, but…” Mika gulped and fiddled with the sleeves of his of his long sleeve shirt. “I know you're in love with Yuu so I'm glad I pursued a different relationship.” Mika sat there a little shocked, but the waitress came over and got Sora’s drink order and both their food. Once she left, mika cleared his throat and twirled his thumbs nervously. “H-how can you tell I'm in love with him?” Mika blushed, looking at the older male who had a very sly look on his face. “I don't think it's that obvious…”  “It's pretty obvious to me.” Sora chuckled. “I mean, you're wearing his scent permanently, and there's another obvious sigh you just told me.” Mika raised a curious brow to tell him to continue as Sora put the menu back. “You wanted to try us again, right?” When Mika nodded, Sora continued. “Well, I just told you I have a girlfriend and you weren't the slightest bit broken-hearted about it. You're just trying to find a way to forget about Yuu.” Mika stared down at the pink sweet and low packet, and poked the the thin sugar through the paper. “Sorry Sora. I…never meant to use you to forget about Yuu. That was really shitty of me to do that.” Mika picked the substitute packet up and placed it back with the others in its container. “I won't do that to anyone again.”  “Can I ask what happened?”  “Yeah,” Mika looked up at him and pushed a locket of hair behind his ear. “After you and I had sex, I kept your scent on me to try and get a reaction out of Yuu. It surprisingly worked and we had sex. I don't know what possessed either of us to do it, but we bound, and it felt so right at the time. But right after we were done, I regretted it. Yuu is an asshole and he doesn't even care about me. That's obvious by the way he treats me like everyone else and never showed me any affection. I ended it today when I caught him flirting with two girls, and then I called you…” Sora nodded in understanding, but he was still looking at Mika a little skeptically. “I get why you broke it off with him, but why don't you think he cares about you? I mean, it's obvious he does.” Mika looked up at him peculiarly and tilted his head to the side a bit. “Why do you say that?”  “Lets see…” Sora sighed, and took a sip of his water when the waitress placed it in front of him. He continued when she left. “The very first day I met the great Yuuichirou Hyakuya was at our job. I honestly didn't see why everyone thought so highly of him. He was a total asshole and flirted with every costumer that came by, and not only that, but a ton of people requested him so he took a lot of the costumers, and he was using your baby in a way that made me very uncomfortable. “I was sure that Yuu was too busy admiring himself in the mirror to actually care about someone else. Or at least I thought that way until I saw you.” Sora smiled at him and twirled his straw around in his glass of ice and water. “When you first asked for Yuu, I was annoyed. Here's another person who Yuu had wrapped around his finger, but then you cursed at him. You told me to tell him to get his ass out here. I was genuinely happy because there was a person who didn't deal with his shit. I was pleasantly surprised, but I was even more so when I told him that you were here. I smelt this protective and possessive scent come of his body and he grabbed his shirt from the locker room. Inside my head, I thought ‘oh, he probably sees this beautiful blonde as a little brother or something’, but boy was I wrong. You were pregnant with his baby and the look on Yuu's face when you yelled at him shocked me to no end. That look said it all. The look I knew Yuu only saved for you. He regretted his bio, he tried to scent you and he apologized. He knelt down in front of you and held your tummy. And I could just see the love oozing off him. I stood to the side and watched along with everyone else. He may not know it, but he's in love with you Mika, and you feel the same way.” “A-Are you...” Mika mumbled, looking down at the blue packet of aspartame. “Are you saying I should forgive him?” “No. He needs to prove himself worthy, but Mika…Yuu isn't the only one who's thinking is wrong.” Mika quirked a brow, one that led Sora to believe he's misunderstanding what he's saying. “What I mean is that you think you need an alpha to be happy because you don't. The Mika I know is strong and independent. He doesn't need an alpha to raise his baby. He can do this all by himself. You're not weak, but I can tell that you're unhappy. When was the last time you did something for yourself?”  Mika blinked and looked down at his lap. Sora is right, he isn't weak, but he has a soft spot for Yuu. Mika doesn't know if it's the pregnancy or because he and Yuu are bound now, but whatever the reason may be, Mika needs to correct it immediately. He can't forgive Yuu like he's done so many times in the past. And Sora is also right about his happiness. When was the last time he did something that he enjoyed? He's been so worried about Yuu and this pregnancy that he's totally messed up his way of life. He really needs to think about himself, for not just him, but for his baby too.  “Not since before I was pregnant.”  Sora sighed and shook his head. “What are your hobbies?”  “I…like to cook.”  “Okay,” Sora smiled. “So do that for yourself. You know your baby can taste what you eat so she can taste your home cooking before she's even born.”  “Really?” Mika looked at him with wide, excited eyes.  “Mhmm,” Sora nodded. “You need to be happy, Mika. And I think you need to do that without Yuu. For now at least.” “I still don't understand though. If Yuu is in love with me like you say then why does he act like he doesn't care?”  “You know him better than me, but I honestly think it's a habit.” Mika raised a brow, telling him to continue. “Like he's flirted with girls for who knows how long so I think it's just instinct for him to do it. I doubt he even realizes he's flirting until after it's all said and done. But like I said, you know him better than I do.”  Mika supposed that made sense. It's not an excuse, but he has been hitting on girls since the beginning so Mika could see how that habit would be hard to break. Mika also knows that Yuu is scared of love because of his abusive step mother. They already talked about it though, but Mika guesses that would be hard to get over. He's never been abused before so Mika wouldn't know but he can read into it tonight and try to understand the emotions that Yuu is feeling and try to talk to him— Mika shook his head. He's not forgiving Yuu this easily. Just because he has a rough past doesn't give him an excuse to be such a jerk. Maybe Mika really does need to do something for himself. He hasn't felt genuinely happy since before he was pregnant and that can't be good for him or for the baby. Krul wanted him to do online school to focus on himself, so maybe he should do that. It would certainly be less stressful that way because Yuu's fangirls won’t bitch him out every chance they get, but the down fall is that he can't keep an eye on Yuu. He wouldn't know if he's flirting with another girl or having sex with someone while he's gone. Yuu obviously flirts with people when he's not looking, so that would surly happen if Mika's never there.  But then again, if Yuu is shitty enough to do that then he's not with Mika's time. He already isn't worth Mika's time and he was still flirting with people while Mika wasn't there. It's not like it'd really make a difference... “So how's the baby?” Sora asked, snapping Mika from his thoughts. “How far along are you now?”  “22 weeks.” Mika smiled as he placed a hand on his tummy. “She's a wiggler and won't stop moving around. It's hard to sleep sometimes when I can't stop giggling and smiling at her hyperness.” Sora laughed. “Is she moving right now?”  “No, she must be asleep.” Mika jumped as he remembered something and pulled his phone out from under his thigh. “Do you wanna see a picture?”  “Of course.” Sora smiled. He couldn’t say no to that face. Mika was adorable with wide eyes as he leaned slightly forward in excitement. Sora could tell Mika was like any mother who wants to show off their baby's photos to whoever they can.  Mika wiggled around in excitement at Sora’s agreement, and quickly found the ultrasound photo. He held it between them and continued to hold his tummy while he pointed with his thumb. “There she is. See there's her head and her little toes. And look, she has Yuu's nose…” Mika's eyes softened. “In this picture, the doctor said you can tell the gender, but we're waiting until she's born.” Mika looked up at the alpha eagerly. “What gender do you think she'll be?” Sora squinted real hard and studied the photo. He really has no fucking clue. He can kind of see a bump but it was practically microscopic. “Let's just hope it’s a girl because no man would want a dick that small.” Mika giggled as he looked down at his tummy. “Don't listen to him, peanut. I bet you'd have a wonderful dick.” “Calling him peanut won't inflate his ego anymore, Mika.” Mika laughed as the waitress brought their food over, causing the blonde to lock his phone and place it back under his thigh again. Sora picked up his fork and eagerly chowed down on his coney dogs while Mika did the same with his French toast. “What gender do you want him to be?”  Mika shrugged with a smile. “As long as she's born healthy I don't mind either.” And that's the truth. Mika can imagine their baby either gender and with any combination of looks. Maybe they'll have Yuu's hair with his eyes, or Mika's hair with Yuu's eyes…If she's a girl, then Mika can imagine her hair sticking up all over like Yuu's or maybe if she's a boy, he'll have curly hair like him. Either way, Mika will love her no matter what.  “I bet you're really anxious to know the gender though, huh?” Mika tilted his head back and forth like he was weighing the options. “I'm honestly just anxious for her. Nine months is a long time.”  “Yeah, I can imagine.” “It's exciting though! I can't wait to meet her face to face and touch her little nose to my hearts content.” Mika smiled down at his baby while Sora watched Mika a little curiously. It's obvious how much Mika cares about Yuu by that one sentence. Sora doesn't know what Yuu is doing, but he really needs to get his shit together because the most amazing omega he has ever met cares about him in a way that he doesn't deserve, so Yuu needs to tell Mika how important he is to him and maybe, they can all be happy.  Sora knows that Mika won't get over Yuu. That's why he allowed himself to find a partner of his own, somebody who actually cares about him in the way that Mika cares for Yuu. Sora knows Mika does care about him, but not in the way he was hoping, so Mika and Yuu just need to talk about it. They need to sit down and have an actual discussion about their feelings but Mika is scared of getting rejected, and Yuu is scared of something else. Sora doesn't know what, but it's fairly obvious that he cares about his mate.  Yuu's just…he's just an asshole, and he doesn't know how to turn that switch off. He doesn't know how to be in a relationship, so somebody needs to push him in the right direction. God knows he won't listen to him because Yuu obviously hates him, but Sora just wants Mika to be happy. And Sora knows he can be happy with Yuu. But before that, he needs to be happy all by himself. He doesn't need an alpha to be happy. He doesn't need an alpha to help take care of his baby. Sure, he needs support but he can get that in plenty of other places. His sister, his friends, Sora himself. He doesn't need Yuu. He can be happy all on his own, and Mika needs to realize that.  Yuu needs to do the chasing this time around, and all he needs is a shove in the right direction. Just one hard smack to his thick skull and maybe he'd understand what he's feeling. He needs to stop being such a pussy and own up to his feelings and his responsibilities. He's the one who got Mika pregnant so he needs to be the type of man that Mika will be happy with. Not the type that makes him cry and regret being mated to him. No man wants to be like that. Especially to someone special like Mika.  ===============================================================================   Mika ended up drinking his tea without sugar. He learned from Sora that he doesn't need anything but himself and that he can be happy by doing things that he enjoys. Sure it wasn't as sweet as he hopes, but sugar isn't always healthy and he can live his life without it, much like his tea.  Smiling, Mika walked down the halls of school with his backpack over his shoulders and a smile on his lips. He can do this. He can be happy without an alpha by his side. No matter what Yuu does, it doesn't matter. Or at least Mika thought that way up until he saw Yuu. Yuu must have smelt him because he ran out of the classroom, and his eyes zeroed in on him. Suddenly, Mika's heart of steal turned to a pile of mush. His walking slowed down and his eyes softened as Yuu hurriedly walked over and grabbed him by the shoulders. “Mika I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Y-you can't leave me…I care about you and the baby and, and…” He kept going on as Mika's hand on his bag strap dropped to his side lifelessly. He doesn't know what he's apologizing for. Yuu doesn't know what he's done wrong, so it means nothing. It means jack shit. He can't give in. Not this early, not a day after he vowed to be happy without an alpha. He doesn't need him. He doesn't need an alpha to be happy or to take care of his baby.  “Yuuichirou,” Mika tried to sound threatening, but it didn't work. His voice was far too soft and shaky to be anything but a plea, but for some reason, Yuu took a step back. Maybe it was because he called him by his whole name. Mika hasn't done that in a while, so he could understand why that frightened him a bit.  “M-Mika…”  “I-I don't need you anymore. I already told you that we're over. You don't even understand what you want and that's not good enough for me.” Mika eyes were watering, but he looked up at Yuu and faintly smiled. “I’m done waiting.”  Mika brushed past him and into the classroom. He looked behind him as he walked in and let a tear fall down his cheek at Yuu's stiff body standing in the hall. This is for the best. For now, at least. They need time to work themselves out. They need time to try and handle their personal problems. But most importantly, Mika needs to see how hard Yuu is willing to work for him.  The morning classes were pretty uneventful. Lacus and René talked to him a lot so they must have noticed that he was down in the dumps. Mika found his eyes sneaking peeks at Yuu to see what he was like, and he looked just as broken as Mika was. Maybe Sora was right and Yuu really was in love with him. Now all Mika can hope is that Yuu will try to win him back. Try to solve the problems in his heart and talk about them with whoever he feels comfortable with. They both have to be patient because it's hard on Mika too. He obviously has a soft spot for Yuu, and it took a lot to reject him like that for a second time, and he'll have to keep doing it over and over.  Lunch came and Mika was doing his best to stay distracted by eating chips dipped in peanut butter. Don't ask why…he's been craving it the last few days, so he obviously gave into his weird urges. He was having a pleasant talk with René about his baby when his worst nightmare happened. Aoi. She walked into their classroom and immediately went to Yuu's seat on the other side of the room. News must have traveled fast that Yuu was available again so Mika supposed he should get used to seeing this.  It made him anxious as he watched Yuu discus something with the older student, and it just got worse because Yuu stood up and followed Aoi to the door. Yuu didn't even look at him, and it made his heart thud in his ears uncontrollably at how scared and upset he was. He felt like he was going to have another panic attack. Somebody stop him! Tell him to try harder! Tell Yuu to get his shit together and not give up so easily! Is this all he's worth to Yuu? Two rejections and he's done? Will it be like how it was before and Yuu sleeps with multiple people every day? Mika can't handle this! He doesn't feel good! This stress isn't good for him!  “Yuu, you idiot!” Somebody threw a shoe right at his head, it landing with a thunk of the tiled floor. It was silent, but luckily Yuu stopped. Somebody marched over to the raven, but Mika's eyes were blurry so he couldn't really see who. “You're such a dick! Don't you see what you're doing to him?! If Mika has a miscarriage, you have nobody to blame but yourself because of all this goddamn stress you're putting him through!”  Mika saw the black blob of Yuu's head turn towards him, but it just made Mika's shaking worse. Everything spinning, he needs to get out! Where's Sora? Mika wants to talk to him! He's the one who made him forget about his broken heart yesterday so maybe he can do it again!  “He doesn't want to be with me, Mitsuba! He rejected me twice! Told me he's done waiting!”  “You're a fool.” Mitsuba seethed. “He wants you to show him you care! You're such a dick and only think about yourself! As soon as he hurts you, you run away, but just count how many times you've hurt him, you fucking hypocrite!” Mitsuba smacked him hard. Mika doesn't know where he couldn't see because the tears were never ending no matter how many times he wipes them away. “You're so stupid! No, that's not the right word! Idiotic! Brainless! Irresponsible! Don't you understand what you're feeling?! Quit running away from Mika when we all know you're in love with him!”  Mitsuba’s words echoed through the classroom, and Mika tried to wipe his tears away to see, but he just couldn't. It was silent, but Mika could tell Yuu was looking at him. Mika must look pathetic right now. He was holding his arms and rocking back and forth in his chair. It wasn't how he wanted this to be! He wanted it to be special when he heard those three words, and it's not special at all right now!  All of a sudden, the black blob of a head was moving towards him, and it made his crying and shaking increase. The black blob was right in front of him, and Mika could make out the nose that Yuu shared with their baby, as large, calloused hands cupped his cheeks and slammed their lips together. Mika was so confused as he blinked over and over, trying to will his tears to dry. A hot tongue got shoved into his mouth, and he could feel a piercing. A piercing that showed the person he was kissing was Yuu. This is not how Mika wanted to happen at all! This isn't right! He's not ready for this and neither is Yuu!  Mika bit down on Yuu's tongue and reached his hand up to slap his cheek. The mouth pulled away slightly, but Yuu was close enough that he could see the raven bring a thumb to his lips and brush away the blood that lingered there from Mika's feistiness. Mika was still shaking and so confused, but he could see something new in Yuu's eyes.  Determination.  They looked like eyes that Mika couldn't run away from and he was already having a hard time looking away. Luckily, you broke the contact and stood up and faced the classroom. “You see him right here.” Yuu pointed at him as he said that question, but it didn't sound like one. It was a statement. “He is mine. Nobody touch him, look at him or even think about him. I don't care if he tells you we're not together because we are. Whether he likes it or not, he is mine. If I catch you doing anything that looks remotely suggestive, I guarantee you'll regret it.”  Yuu turned back around to look at him. Mika's tears must have dried because he could see a little clearer. Mika was still so very confused, but he understood what Yuu just said, and quickly stood up. “I'm not yours! Why do I belong to you, but you don't belong to me?! You were just about to have sex with some other person two minutes ago!”  Mika swallowed thickly when Yuu grabbed him by the chin and tugged it up. Mika was pressed right against him with his hands flat or on Yuu's chest as angry, green eyes bore into him.  “I do belong to you. All of me belongs to you.” Yuu's hand slid down his back and fell on his ass, causing the blonde to scuff and push him away.  “I don't want that! I want something else!” Mika’s words were like venom and slid off his tongue in angry spats. “I don't want you to fuck your feelings into me! I want your words! I want emotions! I want kindness! Not sexual advances that you give to anybody who you fucking please! I want to be special!”  Mika's words must have surprised Yuu because his eyes widened. Mika knows he should just go home, but he's far too pissed to leave like this.  “You tell me I'm special then act like a douchebag for an entire month! I'm the one who keeps waiting for you! I'm the one who won't throw away dead, dried up flowers because it's the only nice gift you've given me! I'm the one who sleeps in that sweatshirt you lent to me because it smells like you! I'm the one who smiles looking down at our baby because she belongs to you! And what do you do?! Nothing! You don't do shit! You flirt with me the same way you do with everybody else, you try and have sex with someone the same day I reject you, and you can't even tell me you love me! Say your feeling, Yuu! If I'm so special then tell me them!”  Mika took a deep breath and held his tummy as fat tears roll down his cheeks. Yuu opened his mouth to speak, but Mika stopped him by putting one hand up. He gathered his things and shoved his backpack over his shoulder.  “All I'm asking is that you prove to me you care. Then maybe, we can be a happy family.” Mika walked out through the crowd that had gathered outside their classroom, then left school with a speechless Yuu standing in a speechless classroom. Yuu smiled and brought his fingers up to touch the place their lips were connected.  “I will.” ***** Chastity ***** Chapter Notes Before you read, I just want to apologize. I have the attention span of a goldfish and have been getting off track all night so I didn't put as much time into this chapter as I originally planned. So I'm sorry if there's more typos than usual or if it's a little awkward. I'm really tired and work tomorrow so I gotta go to bed and I wanted to post this yesterday so I'm just saying fuck it and am posting it. Oh, and btw, I changed last chapters title. I decided I didn't like what I was planning on doing so it's changed to determination. So have fun! Mika can wholeheartedly say that he has had an enjoyable week. It took a little to get everything situated and settled, but once it was, Mika can say that he made the right decision. Online school made his life ten times easier and less stressful without having to worry about going to school and being in a negative environment. Luckily, his high school had an online program that he could take and still get a diploma from his original high school. It was a simple program which didn't involve him having to follow a schedule of waking up at eight o clock and attending an online lecture. He could do school whenever he wanted which was very nice because sometimes, his body aches so much it hurts to sneeze or he has bad indigestion so he doesn't want to go to bother anyone else. Being at home was a lot more comfortable. He's had time to spend with his baby even though she wasn't born yet. He loved talking to her and getting ready for when she's born. He and Krul went to pick out furniture for the baby's room. The spare room was rather small, but it was a jack and Jill set up so Mika's room and the baby's room is connected by a bathroom, which was extremely helpful. The future they picked out is grey and the room will have dark blue and yellow accents. Mika was going for a gender neutral theme of a starry night sky. He bought twinkling lights to hang on the ceiling and a pretty star wallpaper to put on one wall. He also bought some grey, blue, and yellow paint, which happens to be the reason why Mika is so stressed out at this very moment. He obviously can't paint his baby's room while he's pregnant for his baby's safety, so Mika asked Yuu to come over and help. Yuu came to his house the following day after they had their argument at school, but Mika told him he needed a few days to steady his emotions and think about what needs to happen. Yuu was surprisingly understanding and left Mika alone except for the few times he texted him to make sure Mika was alright. Mika also informed Yuu on what was happening with school and what not, so they did have communication, but their relationship didn't change. Well, it may have not changed for Yuu, but it was already a step in the right direction for Mika. Yuu didn't hit on him once while they texted, so it was really nice to have a normal conversation with him. They didn't text for long and their talks were mostly business, but Mika found himself reading their conversations over and over because Yuu hadn't hit on him once this whole week. It made Mika happy that they could converse normally. Smiling, Mika pulled the sugar cookies out of the oven then placed them on the gas stove to cool a bit. He quickly pulled the bowl for the mixer and the whisking attachment out of the sink from when he used them earlier, and set them up on the machinery. Once everything was in place, Mika dumped in the ingredients to make frosting in their correct order and followed the recipe which he printed out this morning. After the vanilla flavored frosting was smooth and gave off a deliciously sweet smell, Mika put in a small glob or so of green food coloring then stirred it till till the color resembled Yuu's emerald eyes. With the frosting made and the cookies still cooling, Mika washed his hands in the sink, then dried them off on his red apron. Figuring, he should change into something a little nicer, Mika took off his favorite apron, then draped it over the kitchen chair. He skipped down the hall and into his room, then glanced at himself in the mirror. Mika loved looking in the mirror. It's not that he liked looking at himself, but because he could look at his baby bump. 13 more weeks to go, then his baby will be in his arms. Mika has a feeling it'll be hard to let anyone else hold her. He just wants her all to himself, so Mika finds himself being a bit selfish when it comes to the baby in his tummy. He likes to look in the mirror a lot or touch his baby whenever he has the chance. It's about the time when Mika will be able to actually see his baby moving under his skin. It's amazing how pregnancy works like that. Mika finds himself being awfully curious when it comes to pregnancy like any mother would be, and looked up videos and blogs to see how other mothers pregnancy was like. Mika found it to be extremely exciting to see and feel what other mothers were talking about. The stirring in his tummy was Mika's personal favorite because it proved that his baby was alive. Just feeling that movement relaxed him, and if it feels like it's been too long since he's felt his baby, Mika will prod and poke at his tummy to get her to move and do a little dance in his tummy. It just makes him happy to think about. Mika changed into a pair of black capri leggings, a tight, forest green tank top with a dinosaur labeled “Pregosaurus Rex”, and a matching green plaid button up which was opened to reveal his tank. Once done, he waddled into the bathroom and fixed his hair before making his way back to the kitchen and placing himself in front of the cookies. Mika didn't know why he decided to make cookies for Yuu because he was supposed to be the one sitting back and letting Yuu do all the work, but he just…had high hopes for today and he wanted it to go well. And who doesn't like cookies? Mika shouldn't be so excited though because he won't even be in the same room as Yuu. Mika won't be allowed in the bedroom because of the paint fumes, so they probably won't converse all that much. It made Mika sad to think about, but Mika has to remind himself that he can't be the one putting effort in. Yuu has to be the one to try this time, so Mika won't allow himself to hover over Yuu and try to spend as much time together as possible. Mika's number one priority is the baby and the room needs to be painted. Even though Mika wants to distract Yuu and just spend time with him to learn about Yuu, Mika has to remember that the baby is what's most important, so he can't go and mix up Yuu with her again. Just as Mika put his apron back on and was about to frost the cooled off cookies, the the doorbell rang, causing Mika to jump in surprise. He felt his baby squirm at the loud noise as well because noises like that make his baby a bit antsy. She wiggles around a lot when the vacuum is turned on or if someone honks their horn while driving. Just noises that are surprising and and loud make her jump inside his tummy. Despite his baby being uncomfortable, the sensation was very relaxing. Mika didn't even mind being woken up by an alarm clock because he knew his baby would jolt right awake at the noise. Her little feet pattering around like she's swimming and her arms doing a little wiggle was adorable. It makes him happy to think about. Taking a deep breath, Mika opened the door nervously and waved a bit when Yuu smiled at him. Mika tried not to notice how hot he looked dressed in a tight black t shirt stained with paint from projects he must have done with Akane, and he also tried to ignore how long his legs looked in his Adidas sweatpants which were baggy at the top but got tighter as they hugged his ankles. It didn't help when he shoved both hands in his pockets and rocked back and forth on his heals nervously while gnawing at his tongue piercing. Stupid Yuu looking like a fucking model with his hard muscles and annoyingly sharp jawline. Mika couldn't help but take a once over of his body again, eyes drinking in the corner of his left hip which his shirt was riding up at so Mika could see a strip of tan skin. “My eyes are up here, Mika.” Yuu chuckled, causing the blonde to snap out of his staring and pop his head up to Yuu's again. “S-shut up.” Mika blushed at being caught, but tried to hide it by stepping to the side to let Yuu inside. Yuu slipped his white sneakers off, then followed Mika down the hall and to their baby's room. At least it's her room when she's at Mika's house. It was relatively small with the one window being on the opposite side of the door. The left wall was completely bare, and the right had the door that lead to the bathroom which connected to Mika's room. The walls were currently painted cream and there was an ugly floral wallpaper at the top of the ceiling that Yuu will have to scrape off. The only furniture in the room was a desk and two bookshelves because it was used as an office, but mika had already packed everything away in boxes with the help of Lacus and René. “S-so um, it'll take a few days to finish because I want it to be kind of complicated I guess. I want all the walls painted grey except that one—“ Mika pointed to the left wall. “That will have wallpaper mural on it. It's starry and navy blue, then I was thinking you could paint some stars on the grey walls with the yellow or a moon or something. I'm not sure yet.” “Do I just paint over the wallpaper?” “Uh, no.” Mika giggled. “You have to scrape it off.” Yuu groaned with his head dropped and shoulders slumped down. “Sounds difficult.” Mika just nodded and pointed to a corner in the room. “There's a step stool and scraper on the ground.” Secretly snickering to himself, Mika sat down on the desk chair and watched Yuu get to work. Mika obviously couldn't help him because he could fall and hurt himself, plus this was payback for all the hell Yuu put him through. Once the stool was set up, Yuu took the metal scraper and reached above his head to try and get the wallpaper off, but Mika knew it wouldn't come off easily. Yuu jabbed the edges with the scrapper, then jumped in joy when a he got a portion of the edge to come up off the wall. Grabbing it with his fingers, he ripped the paper off, but it only made it less than an inch before the paper tapered off and thinned so it was even harder to get off. “Fuck this shit!” Mika silently laughed, his eyes not even watching Yuu's progress with the wallpaper because Mika knew exactly how well it was going. No, his eyes found something much more interesting to look at and that was Yuu's backside. When the raven reached up to scrape the paper off, his shirt would ride up, revealing Yuu's lower back which was all lean and hard. He had on red and black boxers that would show, and he had the most sexy back dimples Mika has ever seen. His ass was covered by his sweatpants, but that wasn't a problem. It was so tight, but plump at the same time. Mika's had sex with Yuu twice now, but Mika can't say he knows knows what Yuu looks like naked. He's never really had the chance to just stare at his chiseled body, and that was a serious problem he needed to solve. But now was not the time for that. “Mika, our baby will be born before I finish this shit!” Yuu turned around to took at him, his angry green eyes boring into him. But Mika just shrugged and walked over to Yuu. “Well we've only got a little over three months left so you better get to work.” Mika patted Yuu on the back before walking out of the room and leaving an angry Yuu with only about three inches of paper off. How the fuck was he supposed to do this shit? Why can't he just paint over it? That would be the plausible thing to do. Wait a minute…after he gets this off, Mika wants him to fill a whole wall with this shit! Uh hell no is he doing that! Wall paper can burn in hell for all he cares! And once their baby is bigger, and she wants to paint her room, He'll be the one who has to take it off! Yuu is vetoing all wallpaper from any house he lives in till the day he dies! Fuck wall paper! He will rape this shit out of wall paper and not feel a shred of guilt about it! Sighing, Yuu resumed his scraping. Fucking jabbing the shit out of the wall, but it was so hard! Maybe he should just call someone and pay them to do it. He could sneak the worker in and lock the door so Mika will never know. But that sounds like a stupid idea. This is the first time Mika has ever asked him to do something for him and he allowed him to come over to try and make things better. He can't fail Mika's first test. Wait…for all Yuu knows, this could be a test! He has to get the wallpaper done so mika know he'll work hard for him! That has to be it! Yuu scraped like no tomorrow and fucking jumped off the step stool when he got a whole section from top to bottom of the wallpaper off. “Fuck yeah, bitch! I'll own the shit out of you and your floral ass ugly self!” “Yuuichirou, you better learn to watch that mouth for when the baby is born!” Yuu couldn't help but laugh despite just getting yelled at. Mika was already acting like a nagging wife. He'll definitely keep his lazy ass self in check because god knows Yuu wouldn't get shit done unless somebody nags him about it. And for some reason, that thought sent warmth to Yuu's heart. He can really picture himself being happy with Mika. Living a peaceful life with their baby and getting married and shit. God, what the hell happened to him? Mating and marriage was never supposed to be on his life agenda, but it seems like the only way Yuu can picture his life going. After Mitsuba literally smacked some sense into him, everything started to fall into place. He was in love with Mika. When that one thing clicked into place, the rest of the puzzle made complete sense. He was possessive of Mika because Mika was his destined person, he hates when other people touched him because Mika should only be touched by him, and he bound to him because it was his raw instinct to be matted to his one and only. Yuu had no conscious thought to what he was doing, and just followed his emotional, physical, and sexual desire for the only person who Yuu finds special. After he had time to think about his feelings, Yuu honestly thinks impregnating Mika wasn't an accident. He was looking for something, anything to keep Mika connected to him. He was honestly like an animal. Animals want to make offspring…it's their number one goal. Some animals practice for years on how to correctly seduce their species. It can be a beautiful thing, or even odd and quirky. It depends on the animal, and alphas are the same way. They want to impregnate their mate and make a baby. But what was odd to Yuu, was that he never had a problem saying no to an omega. He never wanted to impregnate anyone. But with Mika…something was clearly different. Yuu used to have sex at least twice a day. Any person who gets as much action as he did carried condoms, and guess what? He had them when he had sex with Mika. Why didn't he use one? Yuu thinks it's because it was his animalistic instincts coming out. He wanted to impregnate Mika. There Mika was…in heat, at the peak of fertility and he was in his hands. He was the one making Mika moan, he was the one kissing him, he was the one getting these heated looks from the feisty omega. Desire and that part of himself that's pure animal came out and he released his seed inside him. Yuu never thought he'd get another chance like that, so he acted on it. He fucked Mika without a condom and Yuu can honestly say he doesn't regret his instincts one bit. If Yuu could go back in time and stop himself, he wouldn't. Shit, Yuu would honestly go back and masturbate to Mika getting fucked by himself. He'd scream into his own ear, telling himself to fuck the shit out of Mika and claim him as his own that very second. But Yuu knows Mika wouldn't have completed the contract back then. And suddenly, Yuu was out of his baby's room and walking down the hall to find Mika. The little cutie was in the kitchen with his back facing him while he frosted cookies, and Yuu couldn't control himself. He strode over to the blonde, the wood floors creaking with each step he took. Mika turned around when he heard him and opened his mouth to speak, but Yuu cut him off. Cupping Mika's cheek, Yuu stared at Mika's curious, blue eyes and moved his hand under Mika's apron and shirt to press his palm against his baby. “You know,” Yuu breathed, ducking his head down so their lips were a breath away. “I really love you Mika.” Mika's eyes widened and he sucked in a breath as he stared up at the raven. “W- why?” He whispered, eyes dropping down to Yuu's lips before they snapped back up. “Honestly, I have no fucking idea.” “Real romantic, Yuu chan.” Mika scuffed in annoyance, but his eyes were smiling and his lips twitched upwards ever so slightly. “I'm serious.” Yuu laughed. “I know nothing about you Mika, but I want to learn.” Mika shuffled around in Yuu’s hold, a definite urge to touch Yuu tingling his fingertips, but Mika didn't move his hands from his sides. “Well ask away.” “Hmm,” Yuu hummed, tilting his head to the side a bit. “Where are your parents?” “Starting off deep there, huh?” Mika giggled. But his tone soon dropped along with his eyes, and he reached his hand up to touch his baby for some sort of comfort. “I've never met my dad. My mother ran away from him before I was born, but according to Krul, he wasn't a nice man. He was a drunk and he hit my mom one day. That was the last straw with so she and Krul left when my mom was seven months pregnant with me. But she died when I was young, so Krul had to take care of me.” Yuu nodded silently, eyes taking in Mika's sorrow expression and broken eyes. Yuu's heart ached at Mika's obvious sadness, and he felt the urge to comfort him. But Yuu wasn't exactly sure how to to that. Akane always liked when he picked her up and rocked back and forth, but Mika wasn't a child, and he doesn't exactly want to treat his omega the same way as his little sister. “I…don't know what I'm supposed to do.” Mika glanced up at him and he tilted his head to the side curiously. “What do you mean?” “I don't know how to be supportive without treating you like a child.” Mika giggled softly, the noise sounding like crisp Christmas bells jingling in a cold wind. It made his chest glow with warmth and Yuu had the urge to hear that beautiful noise over and over. “If you love me like you say, then portray those emotions physically.” “I did that before, but you always pushed me away.” Mika rolled his eyes. “Reaching a hand down to touch my ass or kissing down my neck doesn't seem very appropriate now, does it?” “I guess not…” Yuu groaned. “Just tell me what you're feeling right now.” “Uhm,” Yuu's hand shifted on Mika's belly, and he looked up at the kitchen ceiling to focus. “I'm uh, upset that you're sad about your mom and it hurts my heart.” “Okay,” Mika smiled. For some reason, hearing Yuu say that put Mika at ease. Yuu was feeling the same emotions as him. Being bound to someone makes your emotions more vivid and hard to avoid when it comes to that person, but Yuu didn't seem to be affected by it like he was. Mika thought that Yuu didn't care about him so nothing really changed, but hearing his unsettled voice and seeing his distressed face gave Mika peace. “Try and express those feelings physically.” Yuu slowly nodded, then reached an experimental hand up to poke Mika's cheek. Mika tried his best to stay composed, but it was quite funny that Yuu thought poking him was a way to comfort someone. All of a sudden, an idea seemed to pop in his head, so he grabbed Mika's hand and pulled him to the couch. Mika was very cautious of Yuu and made sure he wasn't trying anything indecent, but he gave into Yuu's directions and sat on the the couch next to him. Yuu guided him down so his back was laying on Yuu's lap and his head was supported by the arm of the couch. He stared up at Yuu, who happened to look very good from below, and hesitantly smiled at him. Mika figured Yuu completely missed the point of what he told him when Yuu slipped his hands under Mika's shirt and pulled it up to reveal his stomach, but Mika quickly shut his mouth when he realized what Yuu was holding. His eyes softened when Yuu started tracing shapes on his tummy, the pads of Yuu's rough fingers barely grazing his skin. Dipping his index finger into Mika's rounded navel, Yuu dipped his head down and whispered to their baby. “Your mama may have had a bad daddy, but I promise I'll be different. I'll be the type of man you and your mommy will feel safe around and I'll protect you both. Just know that even if me or your mom do have to leave you too soon, that we'll always be in your heart. I would know. My mama left me when I wasn't ready to let go, but that doesn't mean she's gone forever. She lives on through me and you. Your grandma taught me viable things, and I'll teach you them too. She's still alive no matter how many years she may be gone, because she made me and I made you.” Yuu poked Mika's belly and his voice went quiet as he continued to caress his baby. Mika didn't dare say anything because this was a special moment. Yuu may not know how to show romantic affection, but he does know how to show platonic affection so he comforted Mika by talking to his baby. It was a roundabout way, but held so much meaning to him. It was better than a hug or a kiss on the forehead. Yuu felt so raw and vulnerable to him, so Mika couldn't help but be thrilled that this was what Yuu decided to do. It was special to Mika for multiple reasons, and one of them was because this was the first time Yuu had talked to their baby. He may have held her before, but his baby got to hear her daddy talking to her for the first time, and it just got even better. Yuu gasped and retracted his hand on Mika's tummy in surprise, but he soon placed it back on, then finally looked up at the blonde. “D-did you feel that? She kicked! She must have heard me!” Mika nodded with a smile beaming off his face, but Yuu didn't see as he tilted his head back down to Mika's tummy and kissed it. Mika knows he's kissing their baby, but Yuu's lips on his skin made Mika blush, and a warm glow pooled in his lower belly. “Yuu…” Mika whispered, sapphire eyes soft as fluffy snow in the early months of winter. This was getting difficult… How was Mika supposed to push Yuu away when he was being so kind and gentle. How Yuu is acting now shouldn't make up for what he's done in the past. At least not so soon. Yes, Mika is planning on forgiving Yuu, but he needs to see Yuu work hard and maybe suffer a bit before he accepts Yuu as his alpha. Well, before he publicly accepts Yuu as his alpha. Mika already saw it that way, but Yuu didn't need to know that. Feeling like Mika needs to get away before he does something or allows Yuu to do something that he's not ready for, Mika slowly sat up off Yuu's lap, then stood up. He saw Yuu look a little hesitant and maybe unsure of himself because Mika never commented on Yuu's speech to their baby, but it only lasted for a moment before Yuu followed him back into the kitchen and positioned himself behind Mika at the counter. Mika tried to ignore him, and picked up a cookie and his small spatula with green frosting, but Yuu quickly turned Mika around and pinned him against the counter with both hands on either side of his belly. Yuu's feet were farther behind him as he leaned slightly forward so their heads were more level, but it still felt like the raven was towering over him. A warm hand cupped his cheek and rough thumb stroked his lower lip as Yuu's lidded eyes stared into Mika's drowsy ones. Yuu was like some sort of nullifier. Mika never had this sensation before, especially when it came to Yuu, but something about those enchanting eyes of his made Mika a bit sleepy and ready to give into any of Yuu's demands. “Can I have a kiss?” Yuu's breath molded around his lips, making Mika crave more of that warmth as soon as it drifted away. Mika numbly nodded, his head bobbing once as his hair fell over his eyes and shielded them from his alpha. Yuu absentmindedly brushed the stands away, and he swallowed thickly before ducking his head down. Yuu's eyes were barely opened and were fixed on Mika's lips, but as soon as Yuu's other hand started to slide a little too far south, Mika snapped out of his delusion. Mika quickly reached back to grab a frosted cookie from the platter, then shoved it between his and Yuu's lips before they could touch. The dyed frosting stained Mika's fingers a bit, but most of it was now on Yuu's mouth as the raven looked at him in shock. Mika pushed him away then scuffed as he turned back around and rubbed his hands off on his apron. “You can kiss someone without being sexual.” Mika snarled, snatching the cookie he held before and started to frost it. “Next time your hand reaches to touch me without my permission, you'll be done.” Yuu pulled the cookie out of his mouth and wiped his lips with the back of his hand. “I-I didn't know!” He panicked out, causing Mika to feel a bit guilty, but he was holding his ground. “Let me try again!” Yuu's hand reached out to touch him, but he froze before it did and hovered by Mika's arm anxiously. “I- I'm sorry. You nodded so I thought it was okay…” Mika was annoyed. Dropping the sugar cookie and spatula again, he turned back around and jabbed Yuu in the chest, making the raven take a step back. “I only consented to a kiss! Do you know chaste means Yuu?!” Yuu slowly nodded, his brain working out the puzzle in front of him as he doesn't understand Mika's thought process. “It means to do something without having the intent of having sex with them! You can kiss me just because you feel like it, then leave a moment later to paint the bedroom without even touching me sexually! Hell, you can even walk past me and slap my ass, but that's it! It's still chaste because you have no intention of having sex with me! But most importantly, I want you to understand that just because you give me affection, doesn't mean you get a reward for your kindness! You can do something without expecting something in return!” Mika could tell the gears in Yuu's head were turning by the way his face contorted and his weight shifted from foot to foot. “Does that mean you want me to like…give you a blowjob without getting one in return?” Mika literally pulled on his hair and practically screamed in frustration. “No, that is not what I mean!” Mika jabbed Yuu in the chest again as Yuu took multiple steps back to try and get away from Mika's fury. “J-just go! You don't understand anything!” “I'm trying to understand! But fine, as soon as I'm putting in the effort that you wanted, you want me to leave!” Yuu rolled his eyes, then turned around to leave. Mika immediately felt regret, and panic washed over him because he wasn't sure where Yuu was going. Mika told Yuu to leave. Why would he say that?! Yuu may go and sleep with someone else because he rejected him, so Mika isn't ready to say goodbye yet! “W-wait!” Mika hugged him from behind and locked his arms around Yuu's ribs tightly so he couldn't leave. It was a little awkward because of his baby bump, but Mika hugged him as best as he could and buried his nose into Yuu's back. “D-don't go…I'm sorry.” Mika nuzzled into Yuu's back when he stayed silent, and swallowed thickly. “I-I want you to take me on a date to a nice dinner, then kiss me goodbye at the front door. I want you to hold my hand while we're in public or cuddle me without being sexual. You can touch me Yuu, I want you to touch me, but not like it has been. Having sex means nothing to you. You've had sex with so many people that it takes away all the meaning. But what you don't give people is affection. That's what I want. I want to be special.” “You are special Mika. You always have been.” Yuu tried to turn around, but Mika kept him in place. Or Yuu understood that Mika wanted to stay like this because the raven could have easily turned around if he really wanted to. Mika was just nervous and he didn't want to see Yuu for this conversation. Plus his scent was really comforting and it relaxed him. “If I'm special then tell me what you've done to show me that.” “I've u-uh…” Yuu scratched his temple in thought, then dropped it back down to his side. “H-had sex with you and um…continued to want to have sex with you even when I stopped sleeping with other people.” “Anything else?” “Introduced you to Akane…” “And?” “That's it..” Yuu mumbled, voice higher than Mika has ever heard before. Yuu looked down at his feet and shuffled around nervously, but Mika kept his arms around him. It put Yuu at ease that Mika wasn't letting go because Yuu was starting to understand that he fucked up big time. Honestly, Yuu didn't give Mika any affection after they bound because Yuu he was afraid Mika would reject it, and that thought terrified him. Yuu may have a tough exterior, but he's soft on the inside when it comes to certain people and Mika was one of those people. After Valentine's Day, Yuu kind of realized how important Mika was to him. He may have not understood that he was in love with Mika, but he knew Mika was special, and having a person that can hurt you terrified him. He was afraid Mika was going to hurt him, so Yuu hurt Mika instead. He pushed him away and kept Mika at a distance so he was safe. Yuu is honestly still so scared when it comes to Mika, but he wasn't about to lose the love of his life. Yuu always gets what he wants. Yeah, it may be because of his looks or his fathers money, but Yuu was sure as hell getting what he wants this time around too. But he'll have to actually try this time and put in effort. Mika was his, but Mika didn't see it that way yet, so Yuu had to prove that to him. Prove to Mika that he's an alpha worth keeping and will be the exact type of man Mika wants him to be. And honestly, he won't just be Mika's perfect man, but he'll be more of a man than he's ever been, so he needs to start now. “I'm sorry Mika…” he whispered, hands sliding up to slip his fingers between Mika's on his ribs. “I'm sorry for everything." ***** Family ***** Chapter Notes See the end of the chapter for notes Being romantic was probably the most difficult thing Yuu has ever done in his life. He’s sure once he gets it down it’ll be easy as pie, but for now, he had to start from scratch. Shinoa was currently giving him advice, but she was pretty damn useless. Telling him it’s all about what’s in your heart and shit… Yuu always thought through his dick so it was very bazaar for him to change his way of thinking like Shinoa wanted him to. Yuu never really thought through his heart before. Yeah, he does that with his little sister and his parents, but romance was different. Actually, Yuu has never really done anything involving romance. It was all about sex, about himself, but Mika was a whole different story. It was a strange feeling because yes, Yuu does put himself before Mika (which he knows he needs to change), but he’s always kept Mika’s Emotions front and center. Yuu may not know how to treat Mika and he’ll say things he regrets, but Mika’s happiness was always important to him. He hated to see mika sad and he hated watching him cry, but what Yuu hated most, was the fact that he was the one who was causing Mika to feel these emotions. And that needed to change.  “Listen Yuu san,” Shinoa lectured from her spot on Yuu’s couch. She brought her legs under herself so she sat pretzel style and absentmindedly twirled her hair with a board expression. “Omegas are sensitive…especially a pregnant one. And you know what omegas absolutely love?” She glanced up at Yuu through her bangs, who shrugged mutely. Shinoa sighed as she she brought her hand to her forehead and shook it. “Think about omegas basic psychology. What’s the main mental different between alphas and omegas?” Yuu thought about it for a moment before answering. “Probably possessiveness and nourishment.”  “Good, you’re not as big of an idiot as I thought.” Shinoa grinned. Yuu rolled his eyes. “Omegas are all about family. So instead of focusing on the little things like kissing and touching with care, why don’t you try looking at the big picture.” “Big picture?” Yuu questioned with a raise of one brow. “Like our future? Why the hell would I do that? I gotta make Mika fall in love with me now.”  “I guess you are an idiot.” Once again, Shinoa face palmed. “What in the hell got you and Mika mated that you really need to start thinking about?”  “Uh,” Yuu’s face contorted into confusion, but it soon clicked and he popped his head up to look at the lavender haired girl. “The baby!”  Shinoa made some dramatic gesture with her hands in mock astonishment. “Thank you.” She rolled her eyes. “So what would make Mika’s heart beat that you did not just for him, but for the baby?”  Yuu hopped up from the couch and started pacing around the room in thought. Something for Mika and the baby… What could that possibly be? He’s already been working on the baby’s room, but it’s taking forever to get the wallpaper off and he can only work on it for so long before his arms hurt from holding them above his head… Gah! Why can’t it be as simple as sex? But no, sex isn’t special so there probably won’t be any more of that for a long time!  He could go out and buy some stuff for the baby, but Yuu would rather do that with Mika. The thing that keeps popping up in Yuu’s head is impossible. He wished he was out of high school so Yuu could buy Mika a small house or maybe an apartment, but that’s impossible! But on second though, maybe he can do something else... ===============================================================================   The room filled with Mika’s loud giggles as he slightly spun the desk chair back and forth, and painted glue on a square canvas. The canvas was painted with acrylic paints in an ombré fashion with blue at the top and purple slowly blending till it was bright violet at the bottom. Mika would soon be pouring little star sparkles on the painting in a gradient so it matched his baby’s room. This would be the second one he’s worked on and he’s doing one more after this so they’ll be three pictures in total.  “He’ll get really mad that you’re doing that.” Despite the fact that Yuu will be upset, Mika couldn’t help but laugh for that exact reason. Though, Mika really should be thinking of himself because last time Yuu found out he was with Sora, was the day their body’s unified in a sacred bond. Mika was a bit anxious about having Sora over for that reason but maybe just maybe there’s a part of him that…Never mind. Mika doesn’t want to think about it.  “He can suck it up.” Sora chuckled from his spot on the step stool. He was busy taking the wallpaper off correctly with water and laundry softener. All the paper had been soaking in the substance so Sora was now taking it off the wall.  Mika just smiled rather pleased with himself, and continued painting glue on the canvas. He kept looking at the door, anticipating a certain raven haired alpha storming into the room, and for some reason, he was disappointed that Yuu wasn’t there. He frowned and pulled his phone out from under his thigh to see if he got any new messages from a certain man, but only came up sad when there wasn’t such a thing. “Don’t do it.” Sora called over his shoulder. “You told me you’ve been too forgiving with him and haven’t had a backbone.” “Yeah, I know.” Mika sighed. But it’s been so long since he’s had a decent conversation with Yuu. Last time he came over was a week ago and even before that, he always said he was busy. It made Mika nervous. He knows Yuu has school, homework and his job, but Mika couldn’t help but be fearful that Yuu was cheating on him. Yuu has texted him multiple times but they were always short conversations which just involved him apologizing for his absence. If he knows he been gone then why hasn’t he tried to fix? And whenever Mika asks where he is, Yuu gets very suspicious and makes something up that’s obviously a lie. What was he doing behind his back? Was he really cheating and Mika should actually be preparing for the end of their relationship? But are they even really together? Mika shook his head to clear his mind and uncapped the bottle of glitter. At least Sora’s here to keep him distracted, but it wasn’t really working. “I-I’ll um…be right back.” Mika stood from his chair as fast as his pregnant body allowed him, but it involved a little wave of dizziness over his foggy mind for a moment. Mika shook it off and grabbed his phone before waddling out of the door and into the kitchen. He slipped out of the sliding back door to the yard and started to fiddle his phone as he paced back and forth on the patio. It was spring so the pavement was a bit chilly on his bare feet, but Mika didn’t let it bother him.  Before he could think rationally about it, Mika dialed Yuu’s number and anxiously brought it to his ear. Several rings went by, and Mika was beginning to think Yuu may not answer, but the call connected on one of the last rings. “M-Mika?” Yuu was out of breath, but also seemed surprised at his call.  “H-hey Yuu. I was just um…wondering if you were coming over soon.” Yuu was silent for a moment, but he soon cleared his throat and nervously chuckled. “Y-you actually want to see me?” “No, Yuu chan. I want to know when you’re coming over so I make sure I’m not here.” He said sarcastically. When Yuu said nothing, Mika checked to make sure he was still on the line, then pulled his phone back to his ear to nervously laugh. Did he just sound really stupid or something? “Y-Yuu chan? I was just teasing.” “Oh thank god.” Yuu sighed in relief, which made Mika laugh again, but a much more humorous one. Who would of thought this was the same Yuuichirou who teased him all the time. Looks like he can dish out, but not receive.  Mika nervously nibbled on his lower lip. “I-I um…just thought you would maybe try some of the things I said, like going on a date, but it seems like you’re avoiding me…” “I’m not avoiding you!” Yuu panicked out. “I-I’ve just…been gone a lot.” “Doing what?”  “I— I can’t tell you yet. Just tell me you trust me.” Mika lowered his eyes to the pavement and froze his pacing as he nervously touched his baby. Trust Yuu? Mika isn’t ready to do that yet. How could he possibly trust Yuu with everything he’s done.  “You have to earn trust, Yuu. And last time I tried doing that, I found out you were flirting with other people.” Mika heard Yuu swallow hard. “Sorry, Mika… I-I’ll be over in a few.”  Then he hung up, leaving Mika feeling rather regretful. Should he have put that nicer? But Yuu was always painfully honest in ways that broke Mika’s heart, so Yuu can’t really be upset about it. But there’s always been that old saying… how does it go? “Just because someone does it to you, doesn’t mean it’s right.” Yuu has hurt him many times, but that doesn’t give Mika the right to be mean to Yuu.  Sighing, Mika sat on the patio chair and yelped when he sat in a dirty puddle full old leaves that turned into mush. “Gross!” Mika quickly stood up, but he did it way too fast, and immediately felt his head spin. He clutched onto his stomach like his baby was already out of the womb, and reached out for the table with his other hand to steady himself.  Once he was okay, Mika looked down at his stomach and frowned at his baby. “I’m ready for you to be out of there.” Like his baby was mocking him, she kicked her feet around and pushed against his skin, making Mika feel little goosebumps. It was such a wonderfully strange feeling. “You’re definitely your daddy’s child. He would do something like that too.”  She didn’t respond this time and probably just fell back asleep or did whatever babies do. She’ll be a little devil. Mika already knows it. Figuring he needs to change before Yuu got here, Mika wondered inside his house and made his way to his bedroom, but Mika’s guest popped out of nowhere.  “Were you talking to Yuu?” Mika jumped in fright, and his heartbeat became much more hazardous. He clutched his heart for dear life and took deep breaths to calm down. “Jesus Sora. Don’t scare a pregnant person like that.” Sora chuckled, but before he could respond, Mika’s eyes widened and he started leading Sora to the door. “Y- you have to go! He’s coming over and— and he’ll freak out if he finds out you’re here!” Sora looked at Mika quizzicality as he shuffled backwards towards the front door. “I thought you wanted Yuu to know I was here? Ya know, to make him mad?”  “Did I?” Why the hell would he think that? It doesn’t seem like the best idea, but he must have had some reason for it… But Mika shook away the thought for now and patiently waited at the door for the auburn haired alpha to put his shoes on. “J-just hurry up please!”  “Okay..” Sora scuffed. And Mika swore to god he heard him mumble something about hormonal omegas under his breath. But Mika decided to ignore it due to the clicking of the never ending clock. Why can’t time just stop? Once Sora’s shoes were on, Mika hurried him out the door, then quickly shut it behind him. Waddling over to the window, Mika made sure he watched Sora drive away, then quickly shuffled to his room to change into better clothes. Pregnancy doesn’t allow for much fashion choices, plus Mika’s style has always been cozy so he didn’t have much to wear. Mika decided to go with some thick, black leggings, and an oversized long sleeve shirt that went to his bottom, but went just past his baby bump in the front.  After he was dressed and grabbed a pair of socks, Mika made his way to his baby’s room, but froze when he realized what it smelled like… Shit, what the hell was he thinking? Letting another alphas scent surround his baby’s room. Yuu would he absolutely furious if he found out. Why did he think this was a good idea?! Yuu will think he’s cheating with Sora! They’re just friends, but Yuu won’t see it that way because he had sex with Sora! He’s no better than Yuu! How could Yuu trust him when he’s done something just as bad as Yuu has?!  “Gah!” Mika grabbed his blank canvas off the desk and tried to push Sora’s scent out the open window, but sadly, his worst nightmare happened. The doorbell went off and mika panicked. How did Yuu get here so quickly? He lives on the nicer side of town, and he can’t drive! “O-one minute!”  Mika tried stalling, but Yuu knocked so he decided to just leave without letting Yuu inside. Grabbing his shoes, Mika waddled over to the door and pushed past Yuu so he was outside. “H-hi Yuu chan.”  Yuu’s eyes lit up at the nickname and he didn’t question Mika’s rushed behavior. “Hey babe.” Yuu smiled. “Um, you want me to help put your shoes on?”  “Mhmm!” Mika beamed up at him and sat down on the bench on the front porch. Mika was in his third trimester so it was difficult to bend over and put shoes on. It was very kind of Yuu to offer.  Yuu gently held Mika’s foot in his hand and gazed down at his small toes and feet. It was was a little embarrassing to Mika so he wiggled his toes a bit out of discomfort which seemed to stir something inside Yuu. “This little piggy went to market,” Yuu smiled mischievously as he grasped Mika’s ankle tightly so the blonde couldn’t pull away. “This little piggy stayed home,” “No!” Mika tried to wriggle his way free, but Yuu was strong so he had to prepare himself for the end of the nursery rhyme.  “This little piggy had roast beef,” he grinned, wiggling Mika’s middle toe. “This little piggy had none,”  “D-don’t you dare Yuuichirou!” Mika was doing everything possible to get away, but being pregnant put him at a disadvantage because he couldn’t move around as freely and his breathing was much more rapid.  “This little piggy went…” Yuu smirked as he held Mika’s pinky toe. “Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!”  Giggles erupted from Mika’s lips as Yuu tickled his foot. He held onto his tummy for dear life and laughed his ass off. Yuu seemed quite pleased with himself if the smug smile on his face told Mika anything, but he was too busy wheezing to really complain. “Y-Yuu chan! I-I can’t!”  All of a sudden, there was a long honk of a horn. Yuu froze his attacks and hurriedly grabbed Mika’s shoes and socks in one hand then stood up and picked Mika up bridal carry. Mika squeaked splendidly and wrapped his arms around Yuu’s neck for dear life. “I-I’m heavy!” “Pshh,” Yuu rolled his eyes and carried Mika down the front porch and to the car in his driveway. “You’re still small for someone who’s so far in, Mika. I wouldn’t be surprised if our baby is six pounds when she’s born.”  “D-don’t say that.” Mika slightly smiled at Guren who looked quite peeved. Yuu set him down in the back seat and buckled Mika’s seat belt, then wondered to the other side of the car so he could get in beside Mika. “H-hello Mr. Ichinose.” Guren grunted a reply and didn’t wait for Yuu to buckle to back out of the driveway. Mika still hasn’t had much time to talk to Guren because Yuu usually comes to his house, and the few times he has gone over to Yuu’s, he’s usually at work or is working at home. Mika really wonders what he does.  But then, Mika’s mind traveled over to what he said to Yuu on the phone, and he immediately started to feel guilty. It seems like Yuu really is showing him something since Guren is the one driving them somewhere, but he still feels bad… “Um, Yuu? I’m sorry if I was mean on the phone. I-it’s okay if you don’t want to show me.” After all, he is keeping his friendship with Sora a secret so he can’t really blame Yuu for having one as well.  “Don’t be.” It was Guren who answered this time, which shocked Mika because Guren also did the friends with benefits thing too. Maybe Yuu didn’t fully tell him what Mika said to him. “I actually think it’s better this way. Yuu was an idiot for keeping this from you. It’s one thing to keep it a secret until I agreed to it, but the actually planning of it…any omega would want to be involved.”  What the hell was Yuu doing for him? Mika honestly has no fucking idea.  “I’m not an idiot!, shitty Guren! I just wanted it to be done before I told him!” “Well knowing your tastes, you’d have to redo everything because Mika would hate it.” “What’s that supposed to mean?! I could do it just fine without his help!”  Guren scuffed. “Maybe to your standards, but this isn’t just for you. It’s for Mika as well.”  That shut Yuu right up, leaving the car silent the rest of the way to wherever they were headed. But it just seemed like they were going to Yuu’s house. What in the world was Yuu doing for him? But he did feel relief that Yuu wasn’t cheating on him and that he was doing something for him. It still felt like he and Yuu weren’t really in a relationship though. Yuu didn’t kiss him hello, but he did carry him and was going to put his shoes on for him. It’s the thought that counts though and Mika was happy at the little steps they’ve taken.  Just as Mika thought, they pulled into Yuu’s driveway and parked in front of the ginormous house. There was a large dumpster in the driveway and a couple big vans parked on one side of the driveway, but Mika just ignored it and waited for Guren to pull into the garage, which was very extravagant for a place that holds cars. Mika has only been here twice, but it just blows Mika away every time. It was huge and just luxurious. The outside was made of stone and had a beautiful garden and balconies all over the house. Mika would love a tour, because he’s only seen a small portion of the house, but he doesn’t want to be nosy and ask.  The sun was setting as Mika hopped out of the car and made his way into the door in the garage. Yuu followed him inside with Guren after him so Mika waited a bit in the mudroom because he didn’t exactly know where he was going. He was still barefoot so once Yuu dropped his shoes and socks in a cubby, Yuu grabbed his hand and pulled him off into the main part of the house. The kitchen was what Mika saw first and it was probably the nicest kitchen Mika has ever laid his eyes on. The colors were dark with a black granite countertop and a deep brown almost matte cabinets. There was dishes in the sink and belongings scattered along the counter, so it looked homey. But it was far nicer than Mika’s home. There was a double oven, a six burner stove, and a huge refrigerator all in stainless steal finish.  Off to the side was a little nook of a table with L shaped benches, and a couple chairs that surrounded the rest of the table. It was also dark wood and had a craft Akane must be in the process of making because the globs of glitter glue still looked quite fresh and there was still scraps of paper all over the bench and floor.  They zipped right past the kitchen though and continued a little bit more until Yuu stopped at an open door which must lead to the basement. Dark stained stairs lead downwards, and Yuu grinned at him with an almost blinding smile before slowly leading him down the stairs, but stopped at the landing. “It’s a little hectic right now because it’s under construction, but I promise it’ll be done for when the baby is here.”  He didn’t give Mika the opportunity to ask questions and pulled him down to the basement. Mika has never been down here before, so he wasn’t sure what had changed, but it looked like they were remodeling the basement. To the right of the stairs was an archway type place and to the left was French doors that lead into a room. Yuu took him to the left first and gestured around the area. There was walls there at one point but was now full of wooden beams, or maybe they’re putting a wall up?  “This was Guren’s gym, but we’re moving that to one of the spare rooms upstairs. Once the walls are down, we’re going to reshape them a bit so it’s bigger and has more space.” Mika had a lost look on his face, but Yuu promptly continued. “The designer thinks it’ll be a good playroom for the baby.” Yuu tugged him back out the French doors and continued left to where a small open space was. “This will be an extra bathroom. And over here—” he turned around and lead Mika through the archway and to a huge open space. It was currently in the process of getting hardwood floor taken off or on. Mika isn’t sure about that either. “This’ll be the family room, kitchen and dining area. I wanted it open so we can watch our baby anywhere in the space.”  W-we? “And then,” Yuu took him to the other side of the basement and showed him another huge open area. It was even bigger than the other space, so Mika wondered what would be over here. “They’ll be three bedrooms. A spare one, the baby’s room, and our room.”  Mika’s breath hitched.   “We’ll have our own bathroom, but the baby and the other room will have to share. And, and were putting soft carpet in so the baby won’t hurt herself, and—” Yuu let go of Mika’s hand and ran to a portion of the open space. “Our room will be the best, Mika! They’ll be a huge tub for us to soak in and, and the biggest bed for us to cuddle, which we won’t allow our baby in because that’s ‘bad parenting’ or whatever.” Yuu chuckled, then made his way to the other side of the area. “And the baby’s room will be awesome. The designer is soo excited to design that room. She’s thinking a really light room with pops of mint green!”  “Y-Yuu chan—” Yuu started to get nervous at the call of his name and ran past Mika to ramble about other stuff. “Our house is built on a hill so w-we even have windows on this side of the room and there’s a backyard through these doors. We could put a little play thing and a plastic pool in the summer. Or— or a sand box and—” “Yuu chan!”  Yuu jumped anxiously, and started to fidget nervously under Mika’s gaze. “D- do…do you like it?”  “Like? I-I love it…” Mika’s voice was a whisper, but it was loud enough for Yuu to hear it. Yuu ran over to the blonde, but stopped in front of him to wiggle his fingers nervously. “C-can I?”  “Yes,” Mika felt tears starting to wet his eyes but he ignore it, and took a step even closer to the raven. “Chastely Yuu. T-that’s what’s important.” “Chastely.” Yuu repeated as he inched his hand over to Mika. Yuu cupped his cheek and breathed in a shaky breath when Mika nuzzled into his hand. Mika stepped even closer to Yuu, and the raven tilted his head down towards Mika’s neck. It was like they were animals just meeting each other for the first time. Testing out the waters and taking in the others scent. Their movements were cautious and a little jerky, in fear of doing something wrong, but they both knew this was so damn right.  Their breathing was shaky and puffed out into each other as they took in their own scent on the other. Yuu kissed the the bruise behind Mika’s ear and gently scented Mika’s skin by rubbing himself against Mika’s cheek. A soft whimper escaped the blondes lips and he pulled away to look into Yuu’s eyes. Leaning in till they were just a breath away, Mika pressed his lips to the corner of Yuu’s lips and slightly smiled when Yuu’s breath hitched. It was like Yuu was too nervous to do anything but smell and scent him because he knew that was alright. He didn’t know what crossed Mika’s lines, so he let Mika decide for the both of them.  The omega trailed his lips down to Yuu’s jaw and brushed them against his stubby cheek. Both Yuu’s hands dropped down to touch Mika’s hips, and a desire bubbled up in his lower belly that was hard to keep at bay. Mika continued to caress and touch him, hands gliding up to touch Yuu’s skin over his graphic tee, or going higher and feeling the broadness of his back. Yuu didn’t know how this was considered chaste because this whole ordeal seemed very sexual to him, but Yuu was too afraid to make a move and upset Mika.  “A-are we still being chaste?”  Mika’s response was the exact opposite of his intentions as he pressed his lips against his ear and breathed right against it. “Yes,”  Mika was cruel. Maybe he is a sadist? No, it’s probably pay back, but it’s getting difficult to not trail his hands lower and touch what Mika’s kept hidden from him for a while now. Mika might be able to stop halfway through, but Yuu couldn’t. Mika doesn’t know what Mika’s definition of chaste is, but his is maybe a kiss on the cheek or a hug. But Mika’s chastity…it was like playing with fire, and Yuu is bound to get burned.   “M-Mika,” “Hmm?” He hummed, tongue starting to poke out between his lips.  “I love you.” Yuu rasped out. Then he pulled away before Mika could do or say anything in return, and held both Mika’s hands in his own. “Let’s go on a date, babe.”  Chapter End Notes hello guys! yay, theyll finally be a date next chapter! in case youre finding this whole thing with them living in yuus basement like...idk weird, this is what id do. my friend had a baby last year and she currently lives at her moms house, but her mom and dad moved out of the master room so she could have a bigger room for her and the baby, plus their own bathroom. this is practically the same thing except guren is rich so this is basically his gift for them instead of something else. and yes, guren is aware that Mika will be liviing down there too. my friends boyfriend also moved in with her too. one more thing... im sorry if this story didnt go where you wanted it to. i feel like im not getting as many views as i have before. i just wanted to ask if im doing okay with the story and if you KINDLY want to leave feedback for me. if youre rude about it, ill be rude back. but i actually really like getting pointers from you guys because like nobody that i know reads my stories and they dont want to hurt my feelings and will only say the common "its so good!" and stuff. you can give pointers about my actual writing too , but please dont tell me about grammar or spelling. i know i suck at that aha. last thing! shout out to my friend megan because she reads this story : 3 shes my only friend that will watch anime lol ***** Royalty ***** Chapter Notes This chapter was all fluff so I hope you enjoy! See the end of the chapter for more notes Mika stood there silently as his lips brushed against the underside of Yuu’s jaw quite nicely. Mika could tell the raven was desperately trying to get away because he knew Mika’s teasing was much easier on Mika himself than him. Mika did find pleasure in seeing Yuu struggle to get Mika off him, but the blonde knew part of Yuu didn’t want this to stop, so it was half hearted. Trailing his fingers up Yuu’s chest, past his neck and up to his hair, Mika reached up on his tiptoes and breathed right into Yuu’s ear. Yuu was obviously enjoying this by the way his breath hitched, and he leaned down because Mika would never be able to reach that high without his assistance. Mika’s fingers made there way down the back of his neck as Yuu stood there frozen with his hands squeezing Mika’s hips tight. Yuu was holding himself back, and part of Mika was grateful he was, but the other part was so desperately searching for Yuu’s limit so he’d pin Mika against the wall and fuck him like Mika has craved for almost two months now. Mika has been extremely horny and has tried pleasuring himself at home, but being pregnant caused some problems. It was hard to finger himself in a comfortable position that didn’t leave Mika out of breath and panting for longer than he’d care to admit. He’d end up just rubbing himself, but it left Mika very hollow and sexually frustrated. Mika supposed that’s part of the reason he was torturing Yuu. Another part was because Yuu deserved to feel frustrated like he was currently feeling, but if Mika was honest with himself, Yuu was probably way more frustrated than he was with all his active sex life from the past. But a part of Mika was slowly registering why he let Sora in his baby’s room and why he wanted Yuu to know he was there. Mika wanted Yuu to walk in on them, see Sora doing his job, and get so angry that he fucks his frustration out like the time he and Yuu bound. It was a confusing feeling because Mika knew he was hormonal and sending mixed signals. He told Yuu he wanted his words and emotions, not to fuck his feelings into him, and here Mika was…trying to get Yuu to do exactly that, but Mika couldn’t control his body, and quite frankly, Yuu’s lack reaction was starting to piss Mika off. But Mika knew he was folding himself back by the way his grip tightened on Mika’s hips, and how he released an addictive scent that was all arousal and need. It made Mika want to give into his pregnancy urges and tell Yuu to have his way with him. It would feel so fucking good if they could do it in an actual bed with something called privacy. Sure doing it at school also has this sense high feeling about getting caught, but Mika honestly wasn’t thinking about that at all both times they had sex. He was ready to do it in a bed with Yuu though and he’s happy it could be now instead of the times in the past. Yuu didn’t stick around for the first time and Mika didn’t stick around for the second, but both of them had owned up to their feelings and there would be great post sex cuddles if they did it now. And yes, Mika does want to have sex, but it also sounds really nice to cuddle with Yuu, so part of him wants to have sex just to for the cuddling and the other part of him wants to have sex for the actual sex. But none of him is denying the fact that he wants to have sex now, and Mika was getting tired of testing Yuu’s limits. “Y-Yuu chan…” Mika pressed his body against Yuu’s broad one and rubbed himself against the raven. Mika could feel the movement caused both their shirts to rise up a bit so Yuu’s toned stomach rubbed against Mika’s pregnant one. Yuu’s hands smacked on Mika's shoulders and he turned his head away to groan, but Mika just grazed his lips against Yuu’s neck and smiled against him. “Let’s go to your—” “Hey!” Mika’s gaze snapped down to the angry fists hitting his legs, before they stopped and the small child squeezed their way between him and Yuu, and hugged the taller one tight. “Mika chan is bad! He should not be so close to Niichan like that!” Yuu sighed disappointedly, but he couldn’t be mad at his little sister for more than two seconds. She’s just too cute. “Hey Akane!” Yuu bent down and picked the little girl up so she was sitting on his hip, and she glared at Mika since she was now on eye level with him. “Be nice.” Akane pouted, then turned her puffed out cheeks away with a little “hmph!” Mika couldn’t help but giggled despite getting cock blocked. He wasn’t angry though and was actually relieved. It’s a good thing she came or he would be upstairs with his clothes on the floor and getting his ass stretched. Well, that didn’t sound so bad, but it wasn’t the right time so he’s happy Akane came and found them. “How was Mirai’s house?” Yuu asked the small girl who beamed at the question. “It was fun, niichan! I made you a picture! And um…” a little blush formed across her cheeks as she peeked over at Mika. “I made Mika chan one too…” Mika was so touched. Akane made him a picture? But on second thought, it could be a photo of him with devil horns or something. The little girls hatred for him wasn’t exactly a secret. “Thank you, Akane. It means a lot to me.” Akane blushed then turned away to bury her lips into Yuu’s shoulder. “I-its not because I like you or anything so…so don’t get all happy about it!” Mika just smiled. “I know.” “Well let’s go upstairs.” Yuu grinned at the two most important people in his life and lead them back to the main floor. Akane’s drawings were on the table so Yuu picked them both up, and Akane handed whoever picture was which. Yuu’s was one of those strange pictures she always draws which Yuu can’t tell what it is really. “Niichan’s is a kitten playing jumprope with two ants. See there’s the ants.” She pointed to the two orange dots on the paper, which were “holding” the jumprope, but the rope was in mid air while the ants were on the ground. Akane and her crazy drawings. “What’s yours?” Yuu looked up at Mika to see what Akane drew him, but was shocked to see that he was crying. Yuu quickly took a step forward with Akane still in his arms, and the little girl reached her small hand out to touch Mika’s cheeks. “I-I am sorry, Mika chan. I didn’t mean to make you sad…” Mika shook his head and placed his hand over Akane’s. “I’m happy. Thank you so much Akane. This means so much to me.” Mika looked up at her with his teary, puffy eyes, making the little girl blush and turn her nose up. “It is nothing a princess wouldn’t do for her prince.” Yuu was busy looking at the photo which seemed to be a picture of four people. Akane was the shortest one, and she was between someone with black hair and blonde hair which he assumed was him and Mika, but Mika was holding a pink blob in his arms which was labeled “princess”. Yuu remembers the day Akane and Mika first met. She told Mika she liked the name princess for the baby, so that must have made Mika cry. Getting a present like that from Akane probably made Mika extremely happy. “Mhmm,” Mika hummed and smiled. “Thank you, my princess. I’m happy I have someone like you to take care of me.” Akane’s face flamed, and she squirmed in Yuu’s hold until he put her down, and then grabbed both Yuu’s and Mika’s hands to pull them somewhere. They found themselves at her playroom, and she pointed up to the loft that has tons and tons of pillows, blankets and stuffed animals up there. “Niichan and Mika chan go up there! I will make you guys dinner!” Akane ran off somewhere, so Yuu stood by the the ladder to get up to the loft and held one hand out for the blonde to take. “Princesses first.” Mika giggled, but nodded and took Yuu’s hand until it was uncomfortable for Mika to hold. It was quite dangerous for a pregnant person to be on a ladder, but Yuu watched his back maybe a little too well because his hands found its way on Mika’s ass. “Yuuichirou…” “Sorry,” Yuu quickly let go, but he didn’t sound all too apologetic. Mika just rolled his eyes and flopped over on his back when he got to the top. Yuu got up in about a quarter of the time Mika did and plopped down in the fluffy blankets next to him. It was quiet for a moment, just the sounds of Mika slowing down his breathing from the effort it took to get up here. “I wonder what Akane’s making us.” Yuu pretended he didn’t see Mika watching him from the corner of his eyes and simply just ran a hand through his hair as alluring as possible. “I-I don’t know.” Mika stuttered, cheeks tinting pink. “It could be a while though.” “You wanna play a board game while we wait?” Yuu asked as he sat up to go retrieve one. “I’ve got the perfect game in mind.” Mika narrowed his eyes but nodded. It better not be anything sexual, but they did just about have sex which was all Mika’s doing so he supposed Mika can’t complain. Still…it better not involve sex. Yuu grinned, then placed one hand on the short railing of the loft and threw himself over it like a monkey. He landed on the floor with a soft cry, making Mika giggle. “You good down there?” He wasn’t all that concerned though considering he didn’t sit up even the slightest. “Yep, totally good.” Yuu groaned. Mika heard him walk under the loft, then climbed back up the ladder rather quickly with a game in hand. Mika narrowed his eyes as he read the box. Pretty Pretty Princess? “Akane loves this game, as you can imagine.” Mika hasn’t seen that game in years. It was big for little girls when he was a kid. Mika can’t believe they have it and it looked like the original game. Mika wouldn’t be surprised if it has all the pieces too considering the play room was kept up pretty nicely. Once Yuu got back in the blankets, he grabbed the pink miniature table on the back wall which their legs would fit underneath, then set the game on top. Mika got comfortable with excitement tickling his tummy, and watched Yuu set up the game. “I’m surprised you picked this game. Considering how girly it is.” Yuu smirked, making the blonde immediately regret his comment. “I actually just want to see you dressed as a princess with cute jewelry on.” “Cute?” Mika giggled with a small blush. “It’s plastic and will probably barely fit.” “You’d be surprised.” Mika just rolled his eyes and picked the color blue once Yuu set it up. He didn’t miss the way Yuu looked at him oddly, but he didn’t have to ask Yuu what was wrong. “I thought you said your favorite color is green.” Mika blushed as he recalled that conversation. Truth is, green is his favorite color because of Yuu’s eyes, but Mika also knows Yuu said his favorite color is blue because of Mika’s, so Mika wanted to wear blue because Yuu might like it on him. “I-I just felt like blue today.” Yuu shrugged it off and picked green, but Mika shook his head pointed to the pink piece. “You pick that color. And if I win, I get to take a picture of you wearing all the jewelry to add to my blackmail folder.” Yuu’s eyes widened. “You have a blackmail folder?! What the hell is it in?!” “That’s for me to know and you to find out.” Mika winked innocently, and Yuu sighed. “Fine. But then you gotta send me a selfie of you being a cute princess if I win.” Mika nodded, and then they shook on it. Mika tried to conceal the rush he felt holding Yuu’s hand and simply just smiled at him with a innocent but deadly look on his face. Yuu’s on the other hand was all seductive and sexy. Mika needs to win. They both spin to see who goes first. Yuu got three and Mika got a one. Yuu made his turn and landed on the earring, so he grabbed a pink one and put it on. Mika couldn’t help but giggle at the sight. “You look awfully handsome in pink.” Yuu threw his imaginary long hair over his shoulder. “Thank you, my dear. I know it suits me.” What a dork. But this is what Mika loves about him… The game ended surprisingly quickly with Mika on top. Yuu blamed it on being distracted by Mika’s cuteness, but Pretty Pretty Princess is not a strategy game and Mika told him that, but Yuu wouldn’t have it. But due to the bet, Mika got to take a very nice photo of Yuu with a crown, pink earrings and necklace with his hand held up which had a pink ring on the center of his pinky and a bracelet which was tight on his wrist. Yuu may have looked cute but he was sulking in the photo with an adorable pout on his face. Mika found him way more desirable like this than any of the times he’s tried to hit on him because Yuu was being himself. This is what Mika longed for. To see a side to him that Mika’s only seen flashes of, but he was getting a full course meal of Yuu’s dorkiness, and Mika loved it. If he acted like this from the beginning, there would have been no problems and Mika’s crush on him never would have faded. But honestly, Mika thinks he never did stop crushing on Yuu because he hoped the boy from the beginning of freshmen year was still in there somewhere, and he was. Mika was so happy that he could kiss Yuu, but he held himself back. While Yuu was throwing a tantrum on the floor, Mika took a quick selfie with all the jewelry on that he may send to Yuu if he was good the rest of the day. Surprisingly, Akane hadn’t came into the playroom once. Mika was half expecting her to cook play food and give them that, but she must be making something with Guren, unless she forgot. After the game was picked up, the two of them laid down in the loft and talked about personal things. Mika was facing Yuu and was slowing inching his way over to the raven, and Mika noticed Yuu’s hand at one point was just barely touching the side of his head. When Yuu talked, Mika listened like it was the most interesting story in the world, because Mika wanted to know everything about Yuu. Yuu was on his back and looking up at the ceiling while he talked, and Mika couldn’t help but take in everything about him. How his profile was so nice to look at with sharp lines and his cute nose, how when he spoke, his Adam’s apple would bob up and down, and how his eyebrows furrowed when he spoke about something that upset him or softened when he remembered a good memory. “I was cautious of Guren at first. I knew how the foster system worked and was terrified that Guren was just using Akane and I to get money from the state. But once I walked into the house, I thought ‘this guy is loaded and has enough money already’. Akane was so fucking happy to have a place called home. Well we technically had one, but it never felt like a real home. I always felt bad for Guren though.” “Why?” Mika’s voice was high in curiosity as he held one hand on his tummy and touched his hand on the blanket in front of him with the other. Yuu turned his head to look at Mika with a guilty look on his face, then moved his gaze back to the ceiling. “You know how I am about crazy people with mates because of my step mother, right?” After Yuu saw Mika nod, he continued. “Well, when kids are adopted, there’s certain requirement that people can make for the children. Like if a little girl was abused by her father, she may have it written down that she can’t get adopted into a family with a man. With Akane and I, it had to be a single father home.” Mika slowly nodded in understanding, and reached his hand out to touch Yuu’s chest. “It’s not your fault Guren is single. He knew what he sighed up for when he adopted you guys, so there’s no need to feel guilty.” “I know…” sighing, Yuu turned on his side and towards Mika, causing the blondes hand to flop on the blanket, but Yuu quickly held it in his own. “It’s just that Guren adopted us when he was young… Now I can see it in his face. He wants to be bound to Akane’s preschool teacher, but it still scares me.” “How does Akane feel about it?” “She doesn’t understand that much.” Yuu shook his head. “it’s mostly me that is terrified of Guren having a mate. Akane is just scared of her mom, because she was always around when my stepmother hit me. She blames herself for the whole thing.” “I-I know…” Yuu’s eyes were closed, but he opened them to look at Mika once he said that. “T-the day I came over…the first time when Akane had that panic attack, I listened in on your conversation. I-I’m sorry I did that. I know I shouldn’t have, b-but I wanted to learn more about you so I did it without thinking.” Flinching when Yuu’s hand touched his head, Mika peeked his eyes open, but stopped to stare when Yuu started petting him, and smiled at Mika so purely. It was the kind of smile that could turn wine to water with just one glance, so bright and sincere. “It’s okay, but why did you leave then? And— and go…” Yuu couldn’t even say it, but Mika knew exactly what he was talking about by the way Yuu’s hand tightened around his, and how his eyes darker exponentially from those white angelic ones from moments ago. “I was annoyed because you were an ass. I don’t like being hit on by you. I like this. I like being treated like I’m special, but you only saw me as something to fuck.” Yuu opened his mouth to protest as he squeezed Mika’s hand tighter, but Mika just cut him off with a shake to his head. “I also went through your stuff that day…I-I saw how eager you were for the baby to be born by all the tabs you had open on your laptop. I was happy, but then when I went to leave and I caught comforting Akane, I realized how I wanted to be treated by you. I wanted you to get excited about me like you did with our baby and I wanted to be treated like how you treat Akane.” Mika sniffled, and tilted his head down towards his chest to frown. “I know…I was jealous of our baby and your little sister. It was pathetic. But then when you saw me with Sora’s scent, I was so happy because you were jealous too.” “Mika,” before he could saw anything else, Yuu sat up on one elbow pressed his lips to Mika’s. It was soft and only lasted for a moment before Yuu pulled away again. “You are not—” “Can we do that again?” Yuu was surprised and it was clearly written on his face. It made Mika blush as he realized what he just asked for. “I-I mean um…I mean it was really short a-and I didn’t even close my eyes because I wasn’t ready, and umm… um, j-just forget it, Yu— mph-!” Mika’s eyes widened once again , but he quickly closed them so he could enjoy this. Yuu’s lips were rough and slightly chapped, but pleasantly so. Mika melted into the kiss as Yuu’s hand raked through his hair so nicely. He didn’t reach his hand down to touch anywhere inappropriate, and that touched Mika deeply considering he asked Yuu to kiss him again. Mika couldn’t describe how he felt kissing him like this except for the word ‘happiness’. It’s such a simple word that everyone used but that’s the only one Mika could think of. His heart was warm along with the rest of his body and mika felt like he was floating in the clouds. He had this tingly sensation and his breath caught in his throat. Once Yuu pulled away, he immediately moved himself next to Mika and pulled the blonde into his chest. Mika nuzzled up into Yuu’s neck contently and jumped when Yuu’s warm hand touched the cool skin of Mika’s tummy. “I love you both.” I love you too. And Mika honestly knew why now. He knew why he held onto hope, why he kept going back to Yuu time after time, he knew why he was so popular because people longed for this man. He longed for what Mika was receiving right now, and Mika felt special. He finally felt so fucking special to someone he longed for for so long. Yuu was treating him the way Mika desired and he was so fucking happy about it. It made Mika want to cry. To tell Yuu all the feelings he bottled up for so long, but before he could, there was a knock at the door. “Quit making for a second.” The voice yelled. Yuu scuffed. “We weren’t making out, but we could have been in a few minutes so thanks for the cock block!” Mika blushed and decided to burrow his way into Yuu’s neck as far as he could go. Yuu tightened his grip around Mika’s back and smiled into blonde hair. “What the hell do you want Guren? We’re having a moment.” “Fine I guess you don’t want food.” “Food?!” Mika pounced up and whacked Yuu right in the chin. Mika didn’t notice though as he made his way over to the railing, despite how Yuu was rolling on the pillows in pain. “You may come in!” The door opened and a very adorable Akane with a pink polka dot apron on, and a tray in her small hand walked in in front of Guren who had a much bigger tray. Akane waved at Mika which caused her to drop her tray, and everything slid down to the ground. “It’s a good thing I only gave you the garlic bread.” Guren sighed. “And someone wanted to carry the big plate.” Akane pouted up at him as she collected the bread and set it back on the plate, then on the tray. “Five second rule, papa!” Mika didn’t care much about the bread falling on the ground and simply just opened his hands in a grabby motion. Guren handed Mika the plate to which he set on the pink table, then grabbed the bread Guren took from Akane. The little brunette started to make her way up the ladder, but Guren grabbed her by the sides and pulled her off. “Papa! I’m eating too!” “Shoot. I only made enough for two.” “B-but—” Akane’s eyes started to water so Guren quickly held her in his arms and tickled her on the tummy. The girl giggled. “We can cowgirl and horsy.” “Okay! But you’re the horsy and I’m the cowgirl!” “Isn’t that how it always is?” Akane just giggled as they made their way out of the room and closed the door behind them. Smiling at their retreating figures, Mika plopped back down on his side of the table and gingerly looked the meal before them. It didn’t look like much but it also looked delicious. White cheddar mac and cheese with bread and juice boxes. This might be the best looking mac and cheese Mika has every seen. It looked creamy, the shells were filled with sauce, and Mika could see the butter which was still melting. “I see how it is. I’m second to food. Glad I know my place in your heart.” Mika jumped, having completely forgotten that Yuu was here, then giggled when he noticed the red spot on his chin. “Sorry. Did you hit yourself in the face or something?” Yuu placed a hand on his heart in mock hurt. “I cannot believe you. You were so focused on the food that you didn’t even notice you knocked your head into my chin!” Mika giggled again, but didn’t do anything else besides grabbing his fork and the one bowl that held all the mac and cheese. “Come to mama.” “I cannot believe you!” Mika looked up from his noodles and raised a brow. “You don’t even care if I’m hurt.” “Well honestly…” mika looked to the corner of his vision before giggling nervously. “I do kind of like seeing you in pain. I don’t know…makes everything you’ve done seem more forgivable.” Yuu just gaped at him for a moment, before a shit eating grin slit across his lips, and he crawled up to the feasting blonde. “I knew it. You are a sadist. I called you that the day you told me you were pregnant, but you denied it. I have a sixth sense for this shit. Mitsuba is a definite sadist too. Maybe it just blondes in general?” Mika fumed with a raging blush and smacked his hands down on the table! “A-am not! I don’t get pleasure out of it! It just makes me feel better!” Yuu raised an amused brow then finally settled across Mika with his legs spread straight out and into Mika’s personal bubble. His color darkened so he stuffed his face into his pasta and ate his feelings away. “And here I was about to say ‘I love you’!” Mika muttered to himself. “What was that?” Yuu asked genuinely. “I said Yuu chan is stupid!” He is definitely never getting that photo of him looking like a Pretty Pretty Princess! Chapter End Notes Can anyone guess Akane's opinion of Mika now?? Lol ***** Blessing ***** Chapter Notes I'm sorry for another short chapter, but I really think you guys are going to like this one. Have fun~ See the end of the chapter for more notes A few weeks went by and Yuu was utterly confused. He thought that he was breaking Mika’s tough exterior after the day they had at his house, but the next time Yuu saw him, Mika acted like nothing had happened. He went back to his usual no touching rule, even though Mika was the one who seduced him in his and Mika’s new home in the basement. Mika was touching him, trailing his lips against his jawline, and they kissed. They fucking kissed, but whenever Yuu try’s to swoop in and steal another, Mika either dodges it or shoves a hand in his face to block him and continues to do whatever he was doing. Yuu didn’t know if Mika was testing him or what, but he was starting to get tired of his shit. They hadn’t kissed once since then and Mika removes his hand whenever he tries to touch him, which made Yuu extremely self conscious. Was Mika not attracted to him anymore? Yuu thought they were moving forward after they had that stay at home date, but he wasn’t letting Yuu touch him at all anymore. And it was getting hard not to touch him. Many days has passed since their night at his house, and things were starting to come together. They had their baby shower, so the basement was filled with diapers, toys, medications, cleaning supplies, baby clothes…everything you could think of. Yuu was grateful that Guren owned multiple businesses and many of his friends who are also wealthy bought them nice things. It was kind of like a baby shower and wedding shower because people also bought them stuff for their new home like dishes for the kitchen and a fucking vacuum cleaner. Like shit, Yuu was in high school. He wasn’t sure if he was ready to be an adult, but there he is, going out to buy baby clothes during his free time and scraping grout into tiles. But he’s the one who impregnated Mika so he has nobody to blame but himself. He doesn’t regret it though and he can’t imagine his life being different. He just has to get used to this. But because their new home was coming together, Yuu had the urge to act like a newly wed and just pick Mika up bridal carry, drop him on the bed and take him this very second. But Mika was being very stingy. Yuu also thinks Mika is hiding something from him. When he showed up to Mika’s house to finish his baby’s room, the stupid wallpaper was off already. Yuu asked who did it and he got very stuttery and nervous, but he felt like he didn’t have the right to question Mika about it because he hasn’t exactly been the best to him. Mika’s birthday had also passed, and Yuu was quite peeved about it because Mika wouldn’t let him do anything to him. Yuu told him that Mika doesn’t have to do anything in return, but it’s like Mika suddenly got very nervous about it and and he fidget a bit anxious before he declined his offer and told him to get him some exercise equipment for after the baby was born. Yuu didn’t do that, of course. That would be the absolute worst present to give to your mate. Like oh, here you go, babe! Start working off all that fat because I find you unattractive! Fuck no is he dealing with that. And one of that is true. Mika was already an emotional bomb that could go off with just the slightest bump so he would rather just avoid that catastrophe. Hormones…Yuu fucking hates them. Sighing, Yuu collapsed an empty cardboard box which had a few sets of plat ware, and peeked over at Mika who was vacuuming the freshly laid carpet. The basement was going along pretty smoothly. The kitchen, living space, and dining area was all pretty much done, except for the actual designing and painting of the room. There was no furniture, but all the floors were laid down and the kitchen had its cupboards and counters laid out. The bedrooms also had carpet and were in the process of being painted, the bathrooms had tiles, but not toilet or sink yet, and the playroom was completely done with all their baby stuff tucked away in there in somewhat organized patterns. They were almost done with just the more cosmetic stuff left. Mika was completely thrilled designing the their new home and working with the designer, but he couldn’t help much because of how pregnant he was. He was in constant pain. His back hurt like crazy and he was having a lot of trouble sleeping. He couldn’t bend over and pick something up off the ground very easily and it even put stress on him to change clothes. His legs hurt a lot so he couldn’t be on his feet too long, but he also had problems sitting for long periods of time. Just watching Mika move stressed him out so seeing him vacuum wasn’t exactly a comforting feeling. “Babe,” Yuu called out to the blonde, but Mika’s back was facing him and he was running the vacuum so he couldn’t hear him. “Baby!” Yuu yelled a little louder, and Mika whipped his head around, but Yuu could tell he did it too fast because he stumbled back a bit, then panted heavily. Yuu quickly jogged over to his mate and took the vacuum from him with one hand and held Mika up with the other. He turned the vacuum off rolled it a few feet away as Mika clutched onto his forearm and tried to regain his breath. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to surprise you.” Mika shook his head lightly, eyes blown wide and heart pounding rapidly. “I- it’s not your fault.” Mika burped rather ungracefully then looked up at the raven with a embarrassed look on his face. “Sorry. You probably think I’m disgusting right now.” Yuu frowned, and looked into Mika’s eyes with a stern expression. “Mika, I don’t think you’ve ever been more attractive than you are right now.” “Liar.” Mika scuffed, turning his head away. “My ankles are fat, I have stretch marks on my stomach, and I burp practically every second of the day. I’m gross and like a walking potato.” Yuu eyed Mika suspiciously and brushed the hair out of his eyes a bit to see him better. “Is that why you don’t let me touch you? Because you’re afraid we’ll go too far and I won’t find you attractive?” When Mika just about shrunk back into his own body, Yuu took that as a yes. “Baby…” he sighed, pulling the blonde into his chest. “You know, there’s something about you being pregnant that I find so damn attractive, babe. Just the fact that my baby is inside you makes me extremely turned on just looking at you.” Mika peeked up at him, eyes watered over like he was about to cry. “R-really?” “Mhmm,” Yuu smiled at him and cupped Mika’s cheek with his large hand. “You’re so sexy, babe. You don’t know how desirable you are like this. And you smell…just amazing. Something about the hormones you release is mouthwatering.” Mika blushed a bit and nuzzled into Yuu’s hand. “T-thank y—” Mika cut himself off as a painful grunt left his lips. His hands gripped Yuu’s shirt, and his legs trembled vigorously. Yuu was immediately picking him up off the ground so he didn’t have that pressure from standing, but another painful noise escaped his lips, and Yuu carried him up the basement stairs. “Babe, what’s wrong?” Yuu looked down at his mate in worry. Mika looked like he was in excruciating pain as one hand clutched the back of Yuu’s neck and the other held his stomach. “Mika?” “S-something wrong!” Tears were streaming down his cheeks. “I-it’s too early…barely 34 weeks…” “M-Mika…” once Yuu got up stairs, he sat on the leather couch with Mika laying in his lap. “Are you—” All of a sudden, Mika slightly jumped then this noise came from him that almost sounded wet. Yuu’s eyes widened and he looked down to see Mika staring up at him in shock. “My water broke!” “FUCK!” Yuu stood from the couch with mika still in his arms and started running around frantically. “Guren! Fucking shit balls motherfucker! GUREN GET YOUR ASS IN HERE NOW!” Yuu started running up the stairs with a hyperventilating blonde in his arms. He threw his bedroom door open then sat mika down on the bed to get a some sweatpants for Mika to wear. Yuu didn’t bother worrying about Mika’s decency. He pulled his pants down, then used his comforter to wipe Mika clean from the water or whatever the fuck that shit is made from. Mika let him do whatever. He was more occupied on the contractions that left him groaning and squeezing Yuu’s blanket tight. “It’s okay baby…just think positive. We’re gonna meet her! Or him! We’re gonna meet our baby!” Mika just shakily nodded and turned his head towards the door when Guren knocked. “This better be good. I was bus—” “Mika’s pregnant!” Guren looked at him like he was an idiot. “Are you fucki—” “I-I mean.. labor! His water broke! Grab the fucking bag and call Krul!” Guren cursed loudly but pulled his phone out dialed a number. Yuu heard him calling for Akane somewhere, but his voice soon turned distant when he went back down stairs, and Yuu had other things to worry about. Once mika was in Yuu’s sweatpants, he picked the blonde up and carried him back down the stairs. He found and” empty, silent house so Yuu cursed at Guren and went to find the damn bag himself. “Y-Yuu chan… it’s early. What if something’s wrong? What if—” “Don’t think like that Mika. Think positively. We’re gonna meet her. We’re gonna see our baby face to face.” Mika numbly nodded as his teeth clenched down and another contraction waved throughout his stomach. “Fuck.” They both anxiously for Guren to come back from wherever he want. Seems he had to drop Akane off at their neighbors, but Shinya would pick her up from there shortly and watch her for the time being. Everybody piled in the car with Guren driving and Mika and Yuu in the back. Yuu learned how fucking strong Mika was because the constant squeezing of the blondes hand around his was almost as painful as getting his fingers torn off, at least that’s how Yuu imagined it. The car ride was a blur. Mika was in pain and Yuu hated it. He tried holding him and comforting him through what he was going through, trying to tell him just a little bit more until they get to the hospital and they can see their baby. The pain got so bad at one point that Mika screamed into his shoulder and bit into his skin. It hurt like a bitch and soon Yuu’s was muffling a groan into his hand. Mika bit so hard that he was bleeding through his shirt, but luckily, it was black so nobody would look at him like he just got bit by some vampire or shit. Once they got to the emergency room, they immediately took Mika back into an operation room to get the c section started. Mika was getting more and more nervous and started to shake in the wheelchair, so Yuu walked right next to him and continued to hold his hand in reassurance. They walk was fast with a nurse pushing Mika to the room and leading the way. Yuu was nervous as well, but he stayed strong because he knew that if Mika saw other people acting nervous, then he would just freak out even more. They had a bed ready for Mika in the room so Yuu changed Into the special gown they use for c sections, then lifted his mate on the gurney and settled in front of him. They gave Mika an IV for fluids and any medication they needed for the procedure. The epidural was absolutely beautiful. Mika was in so much pain from his contractions that the small pokes of the numbing shots didn’t even bother him, and Mika even saw the huge ass needle that was going up his spine, and that didn’t seem to bother him in the slightest. Mika really was strong. Yuu didn’t know if he’d be as fearless if he were in the same position, but he supposed he’d never have to worry about it. He is an alpha, after all. Krul showed up during the epidural and immediately went to her little brother. She practically pushed him out of the way despite the fact that Mika squeezed his hand harder the moment he was almost pulled from his grasp. Mika felt a lot better after though. He was no longer crying and said it just felt like something was pushing against him during his contractions. Yuu played a game to distract Mika while they waited for the doctors to come. He tickled Mika’s feet and touched him, but the blonde couldn’t feel a thing so he was pouting rather adorably. If it was just him and Mika in the room, Yuu would have touched him more intimately, but now wasn’t the time for that. Mika tried to kick him and wiggle away, but his effort was futile because he couldn’t move an a muscle. Mika said it was a bit scary not being able to move practically his whole body, so Yuu just held his hand and distracted Mika as best as he could. Once the doctors came, they gave him, Guren , and Krul a mask, hat, and gown to wear during the operation and they quickly got the procedure started. They put a blue screen up just below Mika’s armpits so Mika couldn’t see what was happening to him. The somewhat stress free and humorous atmosphere ended and Mika suddenly got nervous again. Yuu stood on one side of the table with Guren directly behind him, and Krul was on the other whispering soft words to her brother. Yuu tried not to make a face when he looked over the sheet, but there was a lot of blood. The most blood Yuu has ever seen in his life. He didn’t look long though, just little peeks to see what was happening because Yuu wasn’t too fond of seeing Mika’s blood, even if it was to deliver a baby he made. Once the cry of a baby was heard throughout the room, Mika squeezed his hand tight. Tears streamed down his cheek and Yuu bent down to wipe them away. “It’s a girl!” One of the doctors yelled, and that’s when Yuu’s mind went completely blank. His ears were ringing, and everything was starting to blur. He stared down at Mika’s face who stared back at him, but no words would come out. Mika shook his arm, to snap him from his daze. “Y-Yuu…” Yuu jerked his head to the side when a nurse came over and quickly gave them a peek of their child. She had black hair…so much black hair. It was a big mop on the top of her head and curled a bit. Her eyes were closed, so they couldn’t see the color, but she was beautiful. So fucking beautiful. But far too quickly, they moved her away and laid her down down on a little cart. Yuu snapped his head back to Mika. Everything felt numb. Everything was sinking in. He had a baby. It was his baby. And it’s his job to take care of her. “Yuu,” Guren placed a hand on his shoulder, and Yuu turned to his adoptive father. “Go see your daughter.” Guren lightly pushed him, causing Yuu to fumble a bit towards the nurses taking care of his baby. He stepped up and the nurses talked to him, but he just nodded and wasn’t really listening. He noticed how small her hands and feet were, and reached his hand out to rub one finger on her tiny belly. She opened her eyes and green met green. She had his eyes. But they were also like Mika’s. His eyes were more narrow, but hers were so big like her mama’s, but the color was bright emerald like his. She stared at him and he stared back. He felt the numbness start to subside and this warmth started to tingle his fingers and toes, until it reached his core, and he smiled. He was happy. He was ecstatic. His baby had green eyes, black hair…She had his nose. Round cheeks like Mika’s, she was so small. It looked like she could break if he held her wrong. She was swaddled into a blanket, then the nurse handed him his baby. She was such a good girl, not crying at all and just looking up at him in curiosity. His feet somehow took them over to Mika and Yuu crouched down so he could see her as well. “She looks just like you.” Mika smiled at him so softly as tears continued to stream down his cheeks. His small fingers reached up to stroke their babies cheek and her gaze was now directed at Mika. She looked at her mama and Yuu could tell that she knew who Mika was. That he was the onc who carried her, who’s voice she heard, who played soft music for her, and sang her songs. Yuu realized he has hasn’t spoken a word for the past 15 minutes, so he swooped down to kiss Mika’s forehead. “You did great, babe.” He hasn’t been paying much attention, but mika was getting cleaned now, getting stitched back up, and dressing the horizontal cut on his waistline. Mika didn’t seem to notice in the slightest and just smiled at their baby so fondly. “Yuu chan,” Mika murmured, never taking his eyes off their child. “I know what I want to name her.” “Oh yeah?” “Mhmm,” mika hummed. “Emiliza. It means beautiful blessing because she’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen and—” mika looked up at Yuu and moved his hand to cup the ravens rough cheek in his small palm. “And without her, we never would have been together. She’s a blessing.” Yuu grinned at the thought of it because Mika was completely right. If he didn’t pull Mika out of the classroom during his first heat, if he wore a condom and had sex with Mika, this never would have happened. He and Mika never would have bound or spoken much for that matter. He never would have had any of this, and that terrifies Yuu. He couldn’t imagine not having Mika in his life. If he didn’t listen to his animalistic instincts and wore a condom, Yuu would probably be fucking someone who means nothing to him, and he would have been like that his whole life, because Mika was the one to change him. Mika was the one who made him have these strange desires he never would have dreamed having. Mika’s the one who made him want a mate, who taught him that not everyone is as scary as his step mother. Mika taught him to love. He loves Mika so much, and he loves their baby just as deeply, because without her, none of this would have came true. He owes his child everything, because he made her. Because she’s such a beautiful blessing. Emiliza. Chapter End Notes Emiliza. It's pronounced Emiriza in Japanese. I like the name, because of the meaning and I think it'll be cute when her nickname is Emi. I don't think I'll explain this in the fic because they won't know why the baby was born prematurely. But it happened because of stress. Mika was under a lot of stress with his and Yuu's relationship so the baby will have some problems because of that. She'll have to be hooked up to a machine in the hospital. She'll also be an anxious baby...I'm trying to make this as realistic as possible, but I've also never had a baby so I don't know the procedures of what happens. I watched YouTube videos about c sections and all that, but i don't know aybody who has had a c section birth in the last 10 years so it was hard for me to ask questions about it. My brothers girlfriend is a nurse so she told me a few things, but it wasn't much. I know some of the stuff isn't realistic. Like if this was real life, the baby would have came out with blue eyes and turned green later, but I wanted them to know the eye color right away. I'm trying to keep this realistic tho, so the baby won't smile for a few weeks, she won't grab onto any fingers or anything. Infants are quite easy to take care of so not much will happen. It's after that when Yuu and Mika will realize that babies are hard lol. So yeah! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! ***** Lull ***** Chapter Notes Did you guys get a email saying there was a new chapter? Because I keep getting less and less views each chapter and it's making me upset in many ways. Am I not doing a good job with his story? Be honest please because after Mika and Yuu started to work things out, people stopped reading. There can't be angst every second of the fic and if you guys think that Mika and Yuu's relationship is going smoothly, then you are totally wrong. These past few chapters were a break, but as Mika says during this chapter, it's the calm before the storm. Mika and Yuu have to adjust to living together and having a kid, plus Mika is keeping something from Yuu that will absolutely infuriate him, and I feel like people stopped reading because they thought it was all fluffy now like cotton candy. It's not. There is still major relationship development that will have to happen because Yuu and Mika haven't spoken a word about what they are and Mika hasn't uttered any of his feelings towards Yuu. So please don't stop reading. I promise things will pick up once again and please tell me what you think. I hate that this story is losing views because it makes me feel like I failed. Sorry if what I said was rude I didn't mean to sound so bitchy >.< sorry!!! Emiliza Hyakuya, born on June 17. She weighs four pounds and three ounces, and looks just like her daddy. Emi was a beautiful child, and Mika loved her with all his heart. She was adorable with little mittens on her hands so she can’t scratch herself, a pink and white striped hat with kitten ears over her head and matching socks, and she had a little diaper on. She was laying on a cart with soft bedding and a blanket underneath her, and she had a monitor set up and a tube in her nose. Even though she was born early and in this premature state, she was still gorgeous and so precious. Mika spent the night rubbing her tummy when she was upset and tracing his fingers on her cheek. Yuu didn’t leave their side once and was always in the chair next to Mika’s bed. Mika felt bad that he has to sleep in an uncomfortable position, but there wasn’t much room in the hospital bed. Mika also learned how protective Yuu was. He barely let the omega nurses touch Mika or Emi, and even had issues with Guren and Krul being in the room with them. The nurse had told Mika that it was completely normal for alphas to act like that. She said it’s part of their psychology, and it is kind of difficult to handle at the beginning when their omega is weak and their baby is just born. Yuu was such a good father though. He knew how to calm Emi down and held her like she was the most beautiful thing in the world. Mika could already tell that Emi was going to be a sassy child. She probably got that from him, to be honest. It made Mika giggle though because he loved learning new things about her. It made him happy to see her personality already shining through. Smiling, Mika traced his baby’s small lips and giggled when Emi pawed at his hand like a puppy. Her nose scrunched up in discomfort and her expressive emerald eyes narrowed slightly as she shook her head a bit. She made a little noise to show she did not like being touch and continued to try and push Mika away. “Go back to sleep, peanut.” “But I can’t sleep when you keep poking me, mama.” Mika looked to the side and saw Yuu yawning, and stretching his back and neck out rather nicely. Mika hates to admit it, but Yuu is always extremely attractive when he just wakes up. His eyes couldn’t help but take in the strip of tan skin under his shirt while he stretched and the dark, corse hair that trails up to his belly button was very attractive as well. His face is scruffy from not shaving in a few days and his hair is always disheveled like Mika was just running his hands through it after a night of passionate love making. The thought made Mika blush and look away from his mate. “Morning.” “G-good morning.” Mika peeked over at him and fidgeted nervously. “How did you sleep?” “My back hurts like a bitch.” Mika glared at him. “Language, Yuuichirou. Before you know it, she’ll start picking up on words and I don’t need her talking like her dad.” “Sorry,” Yuu chuckled lightly, and Mika could tell he didn’t mean it. Mika swears to god if her first word is anything inappropriate, Yuu will be getting severely punished. Standing up from his chair, Yuu made his way over to Mika’s bed and sat next to him so he was facing the buggy with their baby, but Yuu didn’t say good morning to Emi yet. He faced his mate and reached his large hand out to hold Mika’s small one on the blondes lap. “How are you feeling?” “O-okay,” Mika blushed down at his lap as Yuu fidgeted with his fingers. “I’m sore, but the meds are helping.” “Do you have to go to the bathroom?” That’s the worst part about having a baby. Mika needs help to use the restroom, and Yuu is so protective that he won’t really let a nurse help him, so Yuu is the one to be in there with him. It’s so embarrassing and Mika just recently accepted Yuu as his mate and they haven’t really acted like a couple yet or talked about it, but Yuu has already been in the bathroom with him. It sucks… that’s usually something that happens when you’ve been mates for a long time and are comfortable with each other, but everything is just happening in the wrong order with them. “No, I’m okay.” Yuu nodded, then turned his attention to Emi, but still held Mika’s hand with one of his own. Mika smiled as Yuu greeted their baby, his unoccupied hand reaching out to trace her pale shoulder. She wriggled and threw a tiny fit, small mouth opening to show her complaints, but Yuu just stroked her belly and spoke comforting words to her. She yawned tiredly, her little body stretching and mouth closing once she was done. Yuu chuckled at her, then carefully removed her from the cart, making sure to be cautious of the cords connected to her small body. She made a disgruntled face until she was comfortable in her daddy’s arms, head propped up on his elbow and arms slightly rocking. Mika watched as Yuu moved himself next to him so he was leaning back against his propped up bed. Mika smiled and tickled her head as he cuddled up into Yuu’s arm a bit. “She likes her daddy a lot.” Yuu turned his attention to Mika and smirked that all knowing grin of his. “The question is do you like your daddy?” “T-that…” Mika blushed profusely and immediately moved away from his mate to pout. “I don’t have a daddy!” “Mhmm, sure.” Mika fumed at the sly look on Yuu’s face and crossed his arms over his chest in denial. Yuu is not his daddy… “Hey, Mika?” “What.” Yuu chuckled at his mate and nudged Mika’s side a bit. “Did you feed her?” “Yes…” mika nodded, peeking back over at him. “She had problems and had to take it slow again, but she’s learning how to swallow, suck, and breathe.” “Did you bottle feed?” Mika nodded again. “She still can’t latch on.” Yuu made a gesture in understanding and continued to rock Emi. She was cozied up in her daddy’s arms and sleeping soundly. Mika figured this would be the best time to tell Yuu. “Hey, um…Lucas and René are coming to visit today.” Yuu’s light and carefree scent turned possessive and angry, but he made sure to stay calm because of the sleeping baby in his arm. “Nobody should get to see her yet. It’s our time with her. I-I don’t want some other alphas or betas scent in this room!” Mika frowned. “I-I know alphas are protective once their baby’s are born, but I…I want them to meet her.” “Mika, this isn’t easy for me.” He looked at Mika desperately as he held his child protectively in his arms. “I can’t describe it. I need time with her to form a bond. You already have one. She knows exactly who you are, but I just…don’t like people near her yet.” “You have a bond, Yuu chan.” Mika gestured down to their child who made soft noises of content in her sleep, and reached his hand out to stroke her chubby arm. “She adores you…she knows you’re her daddy and..” Mika blushed and turned his rosy cheeks away. “Y-you’re my daddy too.” Yuu’s eyes widened, before a shit eating grin split across his lips and he leaned towards Mika knowingly. “Say it again.” “S-say what again?” Mika played innocent and puffed his cheeks out in a pout. “Say I’m your daddy and Lucas and René can come visit.” Mika’s color only darkened when Yuu used one hand to turn his face towards the ravens and smirked at his mates embarrassment. “Hmm, Mika?” Mika continued to pout as he blushed up at him with his chin slightly downward. “Y-yuu chan is my daddy.” Grinning, Yuu ducked his head down and pressed his lips to Mika’s soft one. Mika made a small noise in approval and reached his hand up to cup Yuu’s cheek. It was stubby from not shaving in the hospital and Mika found it unbearably sexy that he had facial hair. Yuu kissed him softly, nipping it Mika’s bottom lip and coaxing it open. He shivered in delight when their tongues met, moving against each other in some sort of rhythm. Neither of them noticed the door open until a deep voice cleared their throat, and they both snapped their gaze towards the intruder. “Maybe you guys should wait to make out after you put the baby down.” “Guren…” Yuu growled, only cradling the child closer to his chest. “I thought I told you not to come yet.” “Fine,” Guren put one hand up in surrender before gesturing down to the tray in his hand. “Guess you don’t want breakfast.” Yuu groaned, but gave into his adoptive fathers wishes and accepted the breakfast sandwich, fruit cup, and coffee. Before he could hand Mika Emi, Guren held his arms out and opened and closed his fingers. “Can I please hold my granddaughter. I’ve barely gotten to see her.” Yuu looked extremely troubled by the question, but hesitantly nodded Guren over. The older male was thrilled and eagerly walked over to his son and held Emi in his arms once Yuu passed her over. Yuu immediately stood up so he was closer to his baby and stayed in arms reach of her at all times. “B-be carful. She gets uncomfortable if you don’t move and make sure to keep her head higher. She scrunches her nose when she doesn’t like something so watch out for that, and be carful of her cords and never walk away from her machines. Don’t—" “Yuu,” Guren patted his shoulder. “I can handle—” “No you can’t. Keep both hands on the baby at all times because so help me if you drop my child I will punch you into the next year.” Guren did what he said, but Mika didn’t miss the pleading look the older alpha sent over to him. But there’s personally nothing Mika can do about Yuu’s behavior. He won’t stop being worried so he may as well get his anxieties out than holding them in. If that happened, the second Emi showed any sign of discomfort, Yuu would probably cuss out the fool who held his baby wrong. It’s better this way. “Yuu chan, why don’t you sit back down.” Mika patted the spot next to him again, and smiled when Yuu looked over at him. “It’s better eat while it’s still hot.” Yuu sent one last look to his baby before he sighed and walked over to the bed, though he didn’t sit down. He stood at the moveable table Guren had set his food down at and stuffed the bagel, egg, and cheese sandwich down his throat. Mika watched him with great amusement as he picked around the pineapple in his fruit cup, then practically chugged the small coffee. It took him about two minutes to eat his whole meal. Mika’s surprised he didn’t choke. With that settled, Yuu moved back over to Guren and argued with him for a good while about how Emi was uncomfortable away from him and Mika for this long. He doesn’t want another alphas scent to surround her and confuse his baby, but Guren wouldn’t give her up. “You’re literally with her all day, Yuu. Let me hold her.” Now it was Yuu who was looking over at Mika for help, but once again Mika just shrugged and got into a different position. Yuu groaned, feeling abandoned by his own mate, and turned back to the older alpha. “You get one more minute and that’s it. Parents are supposed to bond during the first few days. You can hold her after that process is over.” “Fine,” Guren grumbled something incoherent then reluctantly handed his granddaughter back to Yuu. He sighed in relief and sat back down next to Mika on the bed. Mika got a lot of time with Emi during the night because he was the one having to wake up every two or three hours and feed her. Mika will be sure to make Yuu do that too when they get back home, but Mika couldn’t pump the milk out of him and save it in the hospital so he’s stuck pumping it, then feeding it to her since she can’t latch onto his breast yet. Babies don’t master the coordination of breathing, swallowing, and sucking until they’re about 34 weeks old in the womb. That’s how long Mika was pregnant for, but Emi is taking a little bit longer to master the skill. But of course after he feeds her, he has to also burp her, so he gets to hold Emi a lot at night and rock her back to sleep. Yuu woke up a couple times during the night and sat with Mika until he fell asleep, but Mika got to bond with her a lot at night, so Yuu does a lot of work during the day, even if Mika still has to pump milk for her. This is Mika’s second full day in the hospital, and he and Emi would be here for a little longer. Emi was mostly healthy for being a premature baby, but she was extremely weak so they made sure to wash their hands and use hand sanitizer a lot before holding her, and they tried to change her diapers as soon as possible. She was a good girl, but can have an attitude sometimes when Mika is trying to feed her, or when they wake her up for whatever reason, she gives them a face like “really? Did you just do that?” She’s already so expressive and Mika loves it. Smiling, Mika watched Yuu coo at her, and leaned over a bit to see his baby staring up at her daddy with fascination. That’s another thing about Emi. She can hold eye contact very well and always keeps it, despite all the other stuff that may be going on around the room. He green eyes were beautiful, and Mika is just so happy that she looks like her daddy. He loves her jet black hair and how much of it she has, but her eyes are Mika’s personal favorite. They’re stunning, and Mika found himself just staring into them just like she did with Yuu’s. Call Mika petty but he was also thrilled that Emi looked like Yuu because a lot of people at school said Yuu probably wasn’t the father, but there’s no denying that this baby is Yuu’s, and she loved that people could tell that from just a glance, even if she doesn’t have many of Mika’s features. Emi made a small noise and rubbed her mitten covered hands against her cheeks, still keeping contact with Yuu. He smiled at her, and she just seemed so fascinated with Yuu’s face. Mika took the opportunity to rest his cheek against Yuu’s arm and watch them interact. “And you think she doesn’t know who you are.” Yuu grumbled some sort of complaint before moving his gaze to the blonde and grinning. “Yeah, I guess she knows who I am. Considering she woke up as soon as Guren held her and got a bit upset.” “It’s because you weren’t gentle while moving her.” Guren argued. “What.” Mika knew if there wasn’t a baby in his arms, he would be yelling, if the way his voice wavered gave anything away. “A-are you saying that I’m not treating my baby gently enough? Are you shitting me? I have—” “Yuu chan,” Mika scowled at him and placed a hand on his bicep. “He’s just teasing you. It’s so obvious that you care for Emi with all your heart. Don’t get riled up.” Yuu sighed, but continued to glare at Guren. “Fine, but this room sticks with your nasty ass scent so leave. I don’t want her getting used to you yet.” Guren didn’t seem to take what Yuu said to heart and merely just shrugged lightly. “Fine, be back later.” And with that, Guren left, leaving the new family with themselves for the next few hours. Mika’s breakfast came and he ate with Yuu sitting in the chair by Mika’s bed with Emi in his arms. When it was time for Emi to eat, Mika tried getting her to latch on, but once again, she didn’t so Mika pumped milk then gave the bottle for Yuu to feed her. While Yuu was doing that, Mika took the opportunity to call a nurse and she helped Mika use the bathroom despite Yuu’s protests. Mika would rather not go through that with him so he told him that he had to feed Emi and that he would be back in a moment. Yuu was still feeding her when he got back, and Mika could tell how frustrated Emi was with the situation. She started crying and would spit the milk back up, making Yuu frown at her. He ended up giving her to Mika, and he handled it. A mothers connection with the baby is a lot stronger than a fathers at this point, despite how a baby can just tell who their parents are. It must be a scent thing…Mika doesn’t know. It’s just obvious that she gets a bit distressed when anyone besides Mika or Yuu holds her, because Yuu is completely right…the first week or so with the baby is supposed to be strictly bonding with the parents. To establish the start of a bond so the baby knows who her parents are and who she should turn to when she’s distressed. It seemed that she did prefer Mika when it came to feeding though, which made Yuu a bit pissed, but he’ll get over it. As soon as they were done, they laid Emi back in her buggy bed, making sure all her cords were situated correctly, then the three of them took a nap. Mika tried letting Yuu in bed to sleep with him, and it somewhat worked. Mika could tell that Yuu was letting him be more comfortable than himself, so Mika eventually told Yuu to cuddle him, and that was the first time either of them had cuddled. It definitely wasn’t how Mika pictured it being, but he was okay with it. It may have been a small bed and Mika was still quite sore and in pain, but Yuu’s arm around him were very pleasant, and he found himself drifting off to sleep quicker than he had for the past few weeks. He dreamt of their new family…watching Emi’s first smile and hearing her giggle for the first time, though he’s sure the real ones will be far better than his dreams. He dreamt Yuu doing silly dad things, and even telling dorky dad jokes, and Mika dreamt being happy. He was so fucking happy that Mika never wanted to go back to how things were before he and Yuu. He dreamt of Emi’s first Halloween and Christmas…all happy things. Mika was happy. Mika didn’t wake up until he heard a low and feral growl come from next to him, but he was still in a dream like state, so Mika just kind of whacked Yuu’s arm and yawned a shut up. But he was soon shooting up in bed when he heard a male voice that wasn’t Yuu’s, and Mika remembered that Lucas and René were coming to visit. He yawned, and smacked Yuu again when he continued to treat his best friends like the enemy. “Down boy, down.” Mika joked lightly, but Yuu wasn’t in the mood. He carefully picked their sleeping child up from her bed, and she squirmed adorably into her daddy’s arms. “Sorry, we don’t mean to intrude.” René spoke for the two of them and gestured Lucas to take a step back. They were awfully close to them, and Lucas had his phone held up, probably about to take a picture of him and Yuu sleeping or of Emi. Both of which would most likely make the possessive alpha angry. “Yuu chan…let them at least say hi.” Yuu sighed and looked down at the squirming child in his arms before handing Emi over to Mika and getting up off the bed. He practically had to drag the two other males out of the room as Mika sat there curiously. Emi started to cry with the loss of her dad, so Mika lightly bounced his arms and smiled down at her. “It’s okay, peanut. Daddy will be back.” He ducked his head down to kiss her on the forehead, and that seemed to calm her down a bit as her mitten covered hands pawed at his lips. She made some baby noises as she continued to whimper, but Mika just kept eye contact with her and that seemed to help. “Shh shh…ada girl. He’ll be back. I promise.” Emi’s lips pouted and her cheeks puffed, before another shrill cry left her small lips, making Mika wince. It’s a wonder how something so small can make such a loud noise, but Mika supposed he should get used to it. She cried and cried until Yuu came back in with Lucas and René, and he immediately sat down on the bed to show Emi that he was here and that he didn’t leave her. She visibly relaxed when she saw her daddy and she looked at him with rounded, sad eyes. If she could create tears at this point, she would be shedding them, but she couldn’t so her cries were just loud and quite unpleasant. “Hey, daddy’s back.” Yuu noticed her nose was starting to clog up, so he grabbed a tissue off the table and wiped it clean. She sniffled, and continued to have pouty, puffed out cheeks, but she was rather cute. “Look at all those boogers, silly girl. Gross! Looks like you take after your mama.” “Hey!” Mika pouted. “I don’t have a lot of boogers!” “Well she had to get it from somebody and it wasn’t me.” “It’s natural reaction to have boogers!” “Nah,” Yuu lowered his head to kiss Emi’s nose. “I’m sorry you got passed such genes, sweetheart. All the bad ones come from mama. “Does not!” Emi was now looking at her mom and dad in great curiosity as her little eyes flashed between them. She made a noise that almost sounded like a happy noise, causing both of them to look down at her. “What was that, peanut?” Mika giggled happily. “Are you laughing at mama and daddy?” She just wiggled a bit, her small hands reaching up to rub at her cheeks. “You guys are perfect!” The two parents turned their gaze to the voice, Mika having completely gotten about Lucas and René. “Can I take a picture of you guys?” Mika smiled and nodded because they haven’t taken a family photo yet. Both Mika and Yuu have been making a habit of taking photos of her, but they were usually of just Emi and never had either of them on them. It would be nice to have a photo of the three of them in the hospital. Yuu seemed all for it as well and wrapped an arm around Mika’s waist as the other one pulled off Emi’s hat to show the mop of curly, ebony hair sprouting from her head. Lucas grinned at the new family and quickly snapped a few photos in case one of them didn’t turn out right. Lucas took other photos, some of just Emi, others of the mommy and daughter, and others of daddy and daughter. Apparently Yuu told them the rules outside, which were they were only allowed to hold Emi for two minutes at a time then Yuu has to hold her again so she can smell her alpha daddy and not get confused by the scents around her. He also told them that they were not allowed to touch Mika and if they did, there would be very bad consequences, which neither of them would inform Mika what that was. Emi slept most of the time, but Mika felt bad because she kept getting moved from person to person. He knew that must be uncomfortable and she actually got fussy at one point and started to cry until Mika held her. After that, nobody else held her except Mika. Lucas posted the pictures on his social media, which Mika wasn’t too thrilled about because he looked like shit. Krul came in and visited them also and Yuu reluctantly let her hold Emi without a fight because Mika knows he’s a bit scared of Krul, which made Mika laugh. Everything was going smoothly. He and Yuu seemed to be on the same wavelength and Mika just hoped they’d stay like that. Though, Mika had a feeling that this was the calm before the storm, because nothing is that easy. ***** Savior ***** Chapter Notes ahah... hey guys, hows life? sorry i havent updated any of my stories, if you noticed. i actually started writing two more fics on fanfiction.net in the nalu fandom and i have been very distracted with them. But... but but buuuut, i drew a picture for this chapter to show you what emi looks like so hopefully that makes up for it. i cant draw babies for shit so i just drew her as like a 7 year old. please dont judge my picture. drawing anime isnt what im passionate about drawing, i usually do like abstract shit that i cant really describe so i really only draw anime when i feel like it. keep in mind that as of now, this chapter, emi does not have freckles and her skin is pale because babies dont show pigment and freckles until later. what else...i know im missing somthing big,,, OH welcome back everybody! i know i was like super anxious last chapter, but its ironic because the views came back to how it used to be when all this angst was going down. idk if its because i tagged that emi was born or what...*shrugs* but either way, Thank you guys for all your nice comments. i dont like using comments for like...payment, i guess? but they do seriously mean the world to me. they build my self esteem up so much and i cant thank each and everyone of you enough who tried to cheer me up and make me feel better. it seriously means so much and i meant to update a lot sooner, but time got away from me and i didnt realize this was the last fic i updated until recently. so hopefully the emi picture makes up for it and i hope youre not mad. but thats it! i hope you have fun reading and shit this chapter is actually 5000 words. thats good for me right now. oh and also, please dont judge the beginning because describing what the whole basement looked like was torture so i kind of stopped trying at the end. ps, i got a fuzzy blanket today that has a hood with floppy bunny ears. i fucking love it   Emiliza Hyakuya 7 years old... Mika stayed in the hospital for a few more days, but even after he was released, Emi wasn’t quite physically able to leave yet. They got moved to a different room, one without a hospital bed and equipment that’s needed for a mother after their baby is born, but more of a place where Mika and Yuu could be with their baby while Emi was still so weak. Because Emi was born early, she was very dependent on Mika, and was becoming more so with Yuu, so they had to be with her at all hours of the day or Emi could just sense it. It was very strange, but if a baby were to spend time away from her mother for the first few weeks, they could get very sick. It’s a problem for babies who are being put up for adoption, so the mother always has to leave an article of clothing or some type of belonging that was theirs for the baby to leach off of her mothers scent.  Emi was very needy of Mika and Yuu, and would get extremely fussy if anyone but them held her for too long of a time. Yuu was very protective of Emi and he would also get fussy when Emi was fussy, so Mika was stuck with a fussy baby and a fussy mate, which was hard to deal with. Especially since one would cry very loudly when she was fussy, and the other would complain and complain until he got his way. Mika didn’t know if he was prepared to take care of two children, when he really only signed up for one.  Emi was about a week old by the time she was released, and they immediately left to get her newborn pictures taken. Krul had went out and bought some stuff for it… A soft golden crown was one of them and another was a silver headband with pearls and rhinestones, and little angel wings which would be placed onto her back. Emi slept for most of the photo shoot, which took about two hours, but she had enough of it by that time. The photographer was fussing with her and making sure her arm was curled up perfectly or her foot was tucked in so she wasn’t able to sleep very peacefully. They got a lot of good photos though so Mika’s sure Emi will be grateful when she’s older.  After that, they went home… and when Mika says home, he means Yuu’s house where the basement finally got finished while they were at the hospital. Mika hopped out of Guren’s car and stretched his ugly body out with his frumpy stomach. Yuu slapped his ass, making the blonde jump and glare at him, but Yuu only chuckled and walked around to the other side of the car to get Emi out of her car seat. He undid the buckles and tickled her tummy a bit, but Emi just looked at him unamused. She’s very sassy like her mama, and Yuu couldn’t help but love that about Emi. She may look like him, but she acts like Mika, considering he just got the same look from the blonde only a minute ago.  Once Emi was in his arms and curled up on his shoulder, he shut the car door with his foot and followed Mika into his house. Both of them were excited to see how their home turned out because neither of them left the hospital while Emi was still there. Guren let the three of them explore the basement by themselves because he and Krul were the ones who added the finishing touches to the home, so he had seen it. When they walked down the stairs, Mika couldn’t believe that this was his new home. He started near the stairs and in the hallway where the playroom was, a half bathroom, and a closet. Mika peeked in the French doors first which was the playroom, but a few things had been added. It was painted grey before they knew Emi’s gender and was more on the neutral side, but now it had pops of purple throughout the room. There was a whole wall which was made of white shelves and there was a ladder that you could push back and forth like a big library so Mika could reach all the shelves, but it also folded up into itself so when Emi gets older and more explorative, she won’t hurt herself. There was fluffy carpet on the ground and a section with tumbling mats that she could practice her walking on and fall without a care in the world. There was also a couch in the room and a tv, and a little table that Emi could sit at when she gets older and does crafts. All of her toys were put away on the cubbies because she wouldn’t be able to use them for a while, but all the boxes for the infant toys were waiting and ready to be assembled in a pile.  Next to the toy room was the bathroom which was beautiful. Mika wanted clean and sleek and that’s what he got. It was white with pops of blue and a grey, the sink was a round bowl with silver fixtures and the vanity was a very light grey and elegant looking. The walls had a pearl white wallpaper that didn’t really look like wallpaper, despite the way Yuu complained about how wallpaper is the devil and their home will never have wallpaper. Mika supposed that was his fault.  To the right of the bathroom was the laundry closet. There was a washer and dryer, along with two laundry bins under them, a rack to hang clothes on and a couple shelves with towels, laundry detergent, softener and dryer sheets. On the opposite wall, there was drywall so you couldn’t see the rest of the home, with a table underneath it. If you walked back towards the stairs, there was an entry way to the rest of their home. The living space was closest to them which was so homey and cozy. There was a big couch shaped like a U, which looked fluffy and soft with tons of mismatches pillows in soft browns and cozy blankets thrown over the back of the couch. In the center was an ottoman made from the same soft material as the couch, and both were in front of a flatscreen tv mounted on the wall that separated the living room from the toy room and bathroom. There were two bookshelves filled with books to the brim, most of them were Mika’s books from his house that Krul must have brought over, but there was also a lot of children’s book that they could read to Emi. There were classic books from If you Give a Mouse a Cookie, to Rainbow Fish, and much simpler ones that they would practice reading with Emi when she’s a bit older that had much smaller words and were made of thick cardboard. In front of the tv was an open space which Emi could play in and there was also a cozy chair off to the side.  Directly behind the couch was the kitchen which also faced the tv. It was also painted a warm brown color, and all the cabinets and cupboards were eggshell white. Mika never dreamed it would look like this with pots and pans hanging from a metal chandelier on the ceiling, a porcelain sink, stainless steal appliances and brown granite countertop with flakes of quartz, and near the sink was a wooden cutting board which was built into the counter. The kitchen was against the back of the house so there was a window over the sink which had little herbs growing in the sill. On the right side of the kitchen where you would enter was a bar with a bowl of fruit on it and white stools with cozy cushions.  Behind that was a decent sized kitchen table made of old wood, that was in front of another set of French doors which lead outside. There was a high chair which Emi would sit at at the end of the table, and five other chairs around the rectangular table. A beautiful light fixture was centered above it and there were some pretty decorations along all the walls.  Mika was eager to see his and Yuu’s room, but he decided to start with the guest bedroom and bathroom that Emi would use, which that itself was beautiful and nobody would be staying in it permanently. He found his feet getting more and more anxious as he walked into the next bedroom, Emi’s room. It made Mika really happy to see for some reason with such a gorgeous crib, rocking chair, wardrobe, and changing station all in a soft brown color. The room was painted mint green and it looked great with the Gray polka dot fabrics and decorations throughout the room. There were even a few toys too, a mobile above the crib, and the blanket Yuu bought him was draped over the back of the rocking chair.  “You like your room Emi?” Yuu’s voice drew Mika’s attention, as the raven rubbed her back.  Mika couldn’t stop the smile on his lips as he stood behind Yuu’s broad body and tickled Emi’s cheek. She yawned so adorably and nuzzled her small body into Yuu’s shoulder a little. “Is it comfortable being on daddy’s back, peanut? It looks kind of hard and not very nice.” Yuu chuckled and looked over his shoulder to smirk at him. “Are you complaining that I’m fit, Mika? Or subtly trying to tell me I’m sexy?”  Mika’s mouth dropped open and he gaped at him with a deep blush. “I-I… I didn’t— I mean… d-don’t put things in my mouth, stupid!” Mika fumed and went to march away, but Yuu swiftly turned around and grabbed Mika’s arm to pull him into Yuu’s chest. Mika flushed as he looked up at the alphas grinning lips and mischievous emerald eyes. “Let’s go see what our bedroom looks like, babe.”  Mika pouted a little but nodded and shuffled his feet out of the room and into his and Yuu’s. Mika was taken aback at how beautiful it was. The room was painted white with brown curtains along the wall and a gorgeous light fixture centered the room. The bed looked so soft and wonderful with fluffy looking pillows and blankets, and the most cozy looking mattress. There was a dresser with a huge mirror in brown, two end tables on either side of the bed, the bed frame was extravagant dark brown like the rest of the furniture, and there was cozy chair in the corner of the room by a door.  Inside was a little hallway with one entryway leading to a walk on closet already stocked full with both his and Yuu’s clothes, and another doorway to the master bathroom. It had a huge tub for soaking and a glass shower with beautiful tiles that Mika could lay down in and still have room to move around. Two sink vanities with one big mirror took up practically a whole wall and the toilet was separated by a half wall with little shelves cut out of the wall which held extra toilet paper, soap and other bathroom necessities. This whole basement was better than Mika ever could have dreamed and he can’t believe that he’ll be living here with Yuu and his baby. Mika was excited to get their life started together and see Emi grow into such a beautiful girl.  “I love it.” Mika whispered to no one in particular, but Yuu snuck up behind him and rubbed his cheek into the top of Mika’s hair.  “I love you.”  Mika was embarrassed and peeked behind him to see Yuu holding Emi’s tiny bottom up with one hand and the other securely rubbing her back to keep her in place. She somehow looked comfortable on her daddy’s shoulder like that, even though Yuu was as hard as a rock. Mika opened his mouth to say something back, but a soft whine from their child in Yuu’s arms broke Mika’s concentration. Mika turned around fully and gestured for Yuu to hand the baby to her mama, but Mika held her with Emi cradled in his arms and head propped up on his elbow. Emi was dressed right now in preemie baby clothes that had pink and green flowers on her little leggings and a black onesie with a fancy sparkling collar. Her feet were covered in little matching black socks along with some mittens so she can’t scratch her tender skin with her nails, and she also had a floral headband which matched her pants. Emi was so cute and he loved her with all his heart. Mika had the urge to squeeze her so tight, but he knew that wouldn’t end well.  “Hi, sweetheart.” Emi’s eyes lit up at seeing her mama, and she made a soft noise out of happiness. Mika tickled under her chin and she stretched her small body away to try and wiggle out of the poking finger, but she was only a baby so Mika won. “You’re so cute, pumpkin.” Mika idly walked out of the bathroom and made his way to bed with Yuu following after him. Mika wanted to be cozy so he climbed up the tall mattress and leaned against the soft pillows, but paused when he felt Yuu guid him backwards so Mika was leaning into him with Yuu’s arm around one shoulder and the other touching Mika’s thigh. “Baby?”  Mika blushed at the pet name, but looked behind him and faintly smiled at Yuu. “Hmm?” “Uh, can we talk about something?”  Mika felt very nervous all of a sudden, but nodded his head yes and leaned farther back into Yuu’s hold to try and express that he’s not going anywhere. “What about?” “About us…” Mika’s breath hitched which caused his baby to look up at her mama curiously, like she was checking if Mika was okay. Mika smiled at her and touched her cheek again, making the little baby frown and paw at his hand again in a way that seemed like she was saying ‘I shouldn’t have been concerned, mama.’ And was back to being the sassy, rebellious baby. “I just… y-you never say anything no matter how often I do. It makes me nervous being the only one to say it. D-do you not love me?”  I do. Mika told himself in his head, and the thought made Mika smile that they were finally on the same page. But they also went about everything wrong and Mika is nervous about that. He’s nervous how living together period would go, let alone when there’s a stressor in their life, a baby.. Yeah, Mika would be all for telling Yuu he loved him if they didn’t have Emi. If they were a normal couple who knew everything about the other.. But Yuu is still a complete mystery to him. He knows practically nothing about him and it’s the same for Yuu with him. Yes, Mika is thrilled to hear those three small words from Yuu with how often the raven says them, but it’s too soon for them to feel at ease and have a happy ending. Just because Emi is born and both Mika and Yuu love each other, doesn’t mean everything will go smoothly. Yes, that’s true with any relationship even if they already said I love you, but it just doesn’t feel safe for Mika to get comfortable yet. Something’s bound to come up… and it scared Mika that they could go back to barely talking or Yuu treating him as only something to fuck again. He was nervous that they could get in an argument about something with Emi, or they have total opposite views on political issues or something. Stuff like that could break a couple apart, and the problem is, Mika knows nothing of Yuu’s views, interests, what his biggest pet peeve is and something that absolutely infuriates him. Mika knows nothing of what brings Yuu happiness, a gift that cheers him up when he’s down, or what makes him laugh and smile. Mika has barely any reasons why he loves Yuu. It just felt like there was something between them that Mika couldn’t find in Sora even if he was handsome, so kind and took great care of him. It was Yuu and that’s it, but they were still in the beginning stages of their relationship. But all these feelings make it impossible to deny that Mika truly loves him. He needs more information. Mika just barely scraped the surface of Yuuichirou Hyakuya and he wants to keep digging. He needs to keep going deeper and deeper until it truly feels genuine, so Mika needs to learn.  “Yuu chan,” Mika smiled up at him and cuddled up further into Yuu’s chest as the raven rubbed his large, warm hand along the skin of his side. It made Mika blush that Yuu found his way under his shirt and he felt self conscious of his frumpy tummy, but now wasn’t the time to be embarrassed about that. “What’s your favorite sport to play?”  Yuu looked taken aback, but licked his lips and thought about Mika’s question thoroughly. “Probably soccer. Why?”  “No reason.” Mika hummed and continued to smile at him and rock his baby in his arms. “Do you play sports because you enjoy them or is it because you feel it’s expected of you?”   “Uh,” Yuu’s brows furrowed in confusion. “I like sports, but I’d rather be doing something else. I do like working out at the gym though.”  “What would you rather be doing?”  Yuu grinned and nuzzled his cheek into the side of Mika’s hair. “I’d rather be with my sexy mate and our beautiful baby girl.”  “S-stop it…” Mika blushed and moved his gaze down to his sleeping baby. “Don’t say embarrassing things, stupid.”  “You asked, babe.” You kissed his hair and smiled against him. “Now it’s my turn… Why won’t you answer my question?” Mika pouted. “I will… but not yet. I already know my answer, I knew it long before you did, but… but I need a concrete reason that you won’t leave me. I need more information because I know nothing about you. Remember how you said that to me? Well it goes the other way too. I don’t know why I have these undeniable feelings, and I need something that makes me feel more secure. Not just because I know how big of a dork you truly are or that I understand your past and what you went through. I want to know stupid, trivial things that don’t matter. I want to know what makes you happy, sad, cry, or laugh. I want to know what arouses you, turns you off, is just okay, and where you like to be touched. I want to know what makes you angry, what irritates you the most and what you find uncomfortable. And I want to know why I have these feelings for you.” It was silent for a moment with just the sound of Emi’s soft breathing. It made Mika nervous that he said so much, and now that Mika thinks about it, he pretty much said I love you, but without those three words. How embarrassing… “I… I love apple juice.” Mika’s brows furrowed, but he kept his head down and just listened to his suddenly nervous and talkative mate. “I always sneeze in threes. Curry is my favorite food and I love strawberry shortcake. I cannot stand the texture of cotton balls.. Feisty blonde haired and blue eyed omegas are the only ones for me. Dominate the shit out of me, Mika. It’s hot as fuck.” Mika was so embarrassed and hunched over a bit more to hold Emi closer to him in some kind of comfort. “I have a love hate relationship with granola bars. You make me smile and happy. It still blows my mind that Bruce Willis was dead the whole time. What the hell is even tapioca?” Mika giggled and finally looked up to meet Yuu’s gaze. “What else?” “I take baths with bathbombs and nobody can fucking judge me for it, okay? I didn’t understand this whole slime fad, until Akane made me make it with her, and I couldn’t stop playing with it for almost an hour. I believe in ghosts. I’ve always believed my mom was watching over me, and sometimes I can smell her scent waft by me for an instant, but it’s gone right after I realize it. I still cry to this day on her death anniversary. Pineapple on pizza is fucking amazing and I will fight a bitch if they disagree. What’s the deal with participation trophies? Why doesn’t anything rhyme with orange?”  Mika couldn’t stop laughing because Yuu was such a dork, and it was so adorable and cute, and Mika loved him for it. “Yuu chan is funny.” Mika giggled and smiled softly when Yuu moved his hand along Mika’s forearm to brush his fingers through all that dark, curly hair on Emi’s little head.  “It’s still probably not enough to hear what I want to though, right?” Mika nodded, causing the raven to sigh. “I figured as much.”  Mika felt a little bad, but just leaned back into Yuu a little more to try and get the words across without actually saying it. A random thought popped in his head and Mika didn’t filter it out because they needed to talk about it anyways. “You think Emi will be able to sleep in her bedroom without us?”  They’ve been with her for a little over a week every second of the day so it was probably going to be a rough first few nights. Mika can always lay down a blanket with his scent over her mattress and tuck it in so she can’t hurt herself, but still has her mamas scent to leach off of through the night.  “I read a bunch of parenting websites before she was born and that is apparently the hardest part while taking care of a newborn. If you don’t do this part right and you go to her when she’s crying, Emi will become too dependent on our scent like an addiction.”  As nice as it sounds for Emi to want to be near him and Yuu all the time, Mika knows that’s not healthy and that he or Yuu can’t go see her no matter how upset she is. But they still have to feed her and change her diaper, so Emi can take in whoevers scent she has the chance to during that time. Mika is actually somewhat thankful that Emi had to stay in the hospital for a week though, because it gave her and Yuu a longer time to bond before they came home. This way, she won’t be just dependent on Mika’s scent so she can feel a little bit at ease when Yuu feeds her and rocks her back to sleep instead of just Mika.  “It’ll be okay. We’ll make it through somehow.”  Yuu nodded and opened his mouth to respond, but a soft knock on the door drew both of their attention, and Mika smiled at Guren who was holding a sleepy looking akane in his arms. “She wants to meet her niece.”  Mika smiled happily and sat up a bit as Guren sat on the edge of the bed and a tired Akane crawled over to them. She must have just had her nap. “This is Emiliza Hyakuya.”  Akane suddenly looked wide awake and held her small hands on Mika’s lap to lean over and look at the baby. “She looks like Niichan.”  “But she acts like Mika.”  Mika looked over at his mate curiously. “How so?”  “She’s a feisty little thing and I can already tell she’ll have attitude.” Yuu smirked as he tickled Mika’s side a bit. “Just like her mama.”  Mika swatted at Yuu’s hand and was about to blush and embarrass himself, but luckily Akane saved him. “Are you sure Mika chan is the mama?” Her tiny brows furrowed and looked up at the two of them curiously. “Emi doesn’t look like Mika chan at all.”  “Sure she does.” Yuu grinned. “She has her mama’s chubby cheeks, round eyes and little ears.”  “And she has your nose.” Mika smiled.  “You know who she looks like, Yuu?” Guren asked and the three of them turned towards the older alpha. “Like your mom.” That made Mika’s heart feel light as a feather and Mika could tell it made Yuu happy as well by the way he was looking at their baby. “Yeah, I thought so too.” Like Emi knew all of them were talking about her, she made a small snort noise in her sleep and rubbed her little cheeks with her mittens. She wiggled in her mamas arms and Akane watched in great amazement because she had probably never seen a baby so close and has been able to watch it like this. Her green eyes opened and Akane immediately jumped back into Guren’s lap when the baby started to cry and try to wrestle her way out of Mika’s arms.  “Shh, shh… sweetheart. Are you hungry?” It had been about three hours since they fed her, so Mika should be doing that anyways. He handed Yuu their weeping child and slowly slid his body off the tall bed. “I’ll be back. I’m gonna pump some milk so try to calm her down.” Nodding, Yuu rubbed her chubby cheek with his finger and tried to coax her. She looked so upset when Mika left the room and stared up at her daddy with pleading eyes to bring her mama back. When Yuu just continued to stroke her cheek, she cried even louder and threw her arms around in a tiny fit. “Emi… baby girl, it’s okay. Daddy’s here and mama will be right back.” Her lips trembled like she was trying to hold back another sob, but it didn’t work and a shrill cry escaped her.  Yuu didn’t miss the way Guren flinched and he sighed after a moment with Akane still in his lap. “This is why I adopted you two after that crying for no reason stage was over.” “She’s hungry, dad. That’s why she’s crying. It’s the only way for baby’s to communicate that they’re upset.” Guren rolled his eyes. “I just want you to know that you can’t complain about her because you got yourself into this.” Yuu snapped his gaze up to his adoptive father, and his arms started to shake in anger, but he didn’t squeeze his baby and made sure to be carful. That didn’t stop Yuu from glaring at Guren like he was the the disease that killed his own mother. “First of all,” Yuu scoffed. “Don’t make it sound like Emi is a nuisance. She’s a fucking baby Guren, she’s gonna cry. I already knew that coming into this. Second, I love this baby with all my damn heart and I wouldn’t be with the person I love without her. That’s why Mika and I named her Emiliza. It means beautiful blessing because without her, none of this would have happened. I never would have been with Mika, and I wouldn’t have had two more precious people to hold in my arms. I couldn’t imagine where I’d be without her. And second, you seem to keep forgetting that the first precious thing I could hold in my arms was once a crying baby like this, and that’s Akane. I can take care of a baby without you lecturing me because I’m the one who knows how to raise a baby, not you. I mean, you just said it yourself. You didn’t raise Akane, I did.” Yuu slipped off his the bed and made his way down the all to find his mate. Guren called after him, but Yuu just ignored him and looked down at his baby like she was his whole world. Because she was. Emi was so special to him and he loves her for so many reasons. He loves her because she’s his baby.. He loves her because she’s Mika’s baby. He loves her because he and Mika made her together. He’d this child even if she wasn’t his. He loves her because he’s sees his beautiful mother looking into her eyes. And he loves this baby because he would be lost without Mika. And he and Mika wouldn’t be without her.  Emi was still crying as he walked into her bedroom and found Mika pumping milk in the rocking chair. Closing the door behind him, Yuu approached his mate who looked extremely concerned at him, and sat on the ottoman in front of his beautiful omega. “What’s wrong?” Mika didn’t even seem embarrassed at the fact that his breast was showing like he usually does. He’ll try to cover himself while doing, but it was like he had no shame. Yuu was too upset to feel something from seeing Mika’s breasts though, and just pushed the ottoman back a bit and slowly sat himself on the ground with Emi in his arms, and he leaned his head onto Mika’s lap. “Y-Yuu chan?”  Mika brushed his fingers through Yuu’s hair and Yuu couldn’t control the silent tears and shaky exhales leaving him. “S-sorry…” Yuu sobbed quietly, and wiped his tears into Mika’s thigh. “I-I just remembered how fucking happy I am to have you in my life, Mika. I couldn’t picture living without you.” Yuu couldn’t see Mika, but he heard the blonde take in a shaky breath, and Yuu continued to hold his child so securely in his arms. “Emi really is a beautiful blessing, isn’t she?” “Mhmm,” Mika whimpered and moved his hand away for a moment to wipe his own tears, then brought his hand back down to play with Yuu’s hair. “She’s… t-the best thing that happened to us.” “I love you.” Yuu whispered to his mate, but all he got was a wet sob in reply. But that was okay, because Yuu knew he’d hear it someday soon. And he won’t let either of them leave his side ever again. “And I love you too, baby girl.” He whispered to his baby. I love you both more than you could ever imagine because you’re my world and you saved me from the hell I was living.  ***** Understanding ***** Chapter Notes Hello, I'm sorry it's been so long since I updated... if you read forest becomes the sea, then you would know why I'm having issues writing my fics on here, but in case you don't, I'm just going to give a short summery. I need inspiration to write my yuumika fics and I need fan art to do that. Does anyone know any artist that explicitly draw yuumika because I just can't stand looking at Mikayuu. I can't google anything without getting pictures of Yuu being this small child and I Cant look at it. I'm salty about it and it quite frankly irritates the shit out of me. So if anyone happens to know yuumika artists, please tell me. I need to look at art for inspiration and a can't filter it like I can with fics on ao3. Sorry if I offended anyone, but this fic is yuumika so I'm assuming most of you feel the same way, unless you're a neutral party. I'd be easier if I was, but damnit I'm not that easy. Anyways, sorry I took so long to update and thank you to the people who continued to comment even though I wasn't here. I didn't respond because I honestly didn't know when I would be updating so I didn't want to say anything. Next chapter, some shit will go down and I'm fucking thrilled to write it. I'm trying to write my yuumika fics, I just need inspiration. So please tell me if you have any!! Have fun and sorry again. Yuu was in absolute hell. Well, he was he was partially in hell, then the other part was in heaven because some very good things were happening right now, but there was also some bad things like his precious infant daughter crying her little lungs out because she missed her mama and daddy. It hurt his ears because she was one loud child, and it also hurt his soul because hearing her cry made Yuu want to go into her room, hold her and rock her back to sleep, but he knew he couldn’t. So he was stuck in his bedroom with his beautiful, restless mate, which was the good part, because Yuu got to cuddle with Mika in an actual bed instead of the hospital one, and it felt amazing. Mika was so soft and he couldn’t help but bury his nose into his fluffy hair and kiss him over and over. “Yuu…” Mika’s groggy voice sounded as he cuddled up into his chest. “Stop kissing me please… I’m trying to sleep.” He says that, yet Mika hasn’t tried to remove himself from him once and is actually scooting closer this second. “How can you even sleep, babe?” “Very carefully…” Mika sighed contently when Yuu pressed his lips to the bonding mark behind his ear, and he swallowed thickly with his eyes shut tight. “What time is it?” “5:30 last time I checked.”  Mika groaned. “How can you be so awake?” “I just got excited thinking about my favorite little omega sleeping defenseless right next to me." Pressing an open mouthed kiss to the side of Mika's neck, Yuu lightly sucked on his pale skin, and Mika shifted with his thighs pressed together and moaned softly. "I’m wide awake babe.” He breathed hotly into Mika's ear, earning a shiver from the blonde. When Mika arched slightly into Yuu again, he felt something hard poke at his ass, causing Mika to sit straight up with a groggy expression. “Awake… yeah, yeah… wait— NO!” Mika slapped Yuu on the chest earning a strange noise from the raven. “G-go take a shower and take care of that. I guess I’ll go feed Emi.” “Nooo,” Yuu’s arms looped around Mika’s stomach, causing the blonde to freeze. “Stay in bed, Mika. I’ve wanted to cuddle for a long time, and now you’re running away.” Sighing, Mika detached Yuu’s hands from him and got out of bed anyways. “I’ve been thinking since yesterday, Yuu chan.” He turned around to face Yuu in his cozy pjs and crossed his arms over his chest to hide his breasts from him. “A lot has happened… and I-I want to take things slow. I realized that I’ve been way too lenient with you. I’m still upset about a lot of things, I just temporarily forgot about them because we were getting this place ready and Emi was born… I’m still waiting for an apology for a lot of things.” Mika turned around to consul their crying baby, but Yuu quickly sat at the edge of the bed and grabbed Mika’s hand. “W-wait!” Yuu doesn’t understand how Mika’s brain works. How long until these hormones are gone because one second Mika’s enjoying the way he’s kissing him and let’s Yuu wrap his arms around him, and the next he’s saying this crap! Yuu doesn’t understand! Why is Mika so difficult? Why can’t they just cuddle and talk about it? Okay... maybe he was hoping for a little more than cuddling, but Yuu is perfectly content with cuddling without any strings attached! “You can’t just say all that and walk away, we’re supposed to talk about it. We’re a team now Mika, we can’t say stuff that’ll put both of us on edge around each other because… because we’re taking care of a real baby who sees us as her parents. I know she’s barely over a week old but both Akane and I grew up in a broken home and I don’t want that for Emi. I want a good environment for her and… and we can’t do that if we don’t talk and just skit around each other like we have been.” Mika didn’t face him for a long moment, but he eventually squeezed the hand that was holding his, then pulled Yuu up off the bed to lead them to Emi’s room. "Okay... just give me a minute."  Mika was a little embarrassed pumping milk with Yuu in the room, but he’s done it before so he grabbed the machine and handed it to Yuu, before he looked over the crib and said good morning to their daughter. “Hi, peanut. Yes… I missed you too sweetheart.” Yuu couldn’t help but smile as he leaned against the wall and watched Mika pick up their baby. Emi’s crying settled down, but he heard the noises of her squirming like she could hardly stand being so far away from her mama. “I know you wanna sleep in mama’s arms now that I’m here, but we have to change your diaper and you’re hungry, right pumpkin?” Emi stretched her arms out in his hold and rubbed her cheeks with her tiny mitten covered hands. She made a small baby noise as she cuddled up into his arms and pawed at his hand when he tickled her cheek a bit. Mika changed her diaper quickly, he had mastered it in a few days after Yuu taught him how to do it. It was very surprising for both of them when Emi had her first stool because Yuu didn’t change Akane’s first one. It was definitely not what either of them expected and it was really gross, but it luckily didn’t stink. “Why do you always tickle and poke her when she tries to push you away babe?” Yuu chuckled at his mate when Mika scowled at him, and he followed the blonde out of the room and to the living area. While Mika got settled on the couch, Yuu grabbed the rest of the breast pump from the kitchen where it was drying from being cleaned last night, and he heated an already pumped bottle in the warmer.  Once they were comfortable on the couch, Yuu handed Mika the rest of the pump, and wrapped an arm around Mika’s waist as he prepared the pump and cuddled into his side a bit. It was silent for a moment as Yuu waited for Mika to get the pump going, then Yuu handed the omega the warm bottle while the pump was pumping the milk from both his breasts. Once Mika was situated while feeding their adorable child, Yuu smiled down at him when Mika bashfully looked over his shoulder to show him a grumpy expression. Mika was rather cute no matter what face he’s making. “I’m still upset and confused about a lot of things..." Yuu nodded for him to continue, and pressed a kiss to the top of his head. "The problem isn’t necessarily that you didn’t apologize, but it’s more of that you don’t even know what you need to apologize for. It’s frustrating because I want you to say sorry for the things you’ve done, I want to be treated like something special, but you… you don’t even know what you’ve done. And it’s very draining and it makes me worried that you’ll never apologize for anything…” Yuu stared at Mika for a moment, but nodded as he thought about the words he wanted to say. Yuu knows he hasn’t treated Mika the best, and he’s lucky Mika is with him here right now, so he should find a good way to apologize to him for everything he’s done. But there’s something bothering him. “I’ll think about everything… I know I haven’t been the best, but um… Mika, d-don’t get mad at me or angry, because I’m being honest too, but I… I don’t think it’s entirely my fault. I thought you hated me, you said so yourself that you hated me. When I slept with Aio, it was because I was hurt of all the things you told me at work the day before. I know it’s not an excuse and you only said those things because of what I did, but… you’re not perfect either Mika. You… you went and had sex with Sora. You don’t know how much that hurt because I stopped having sex for you Mika… I was so angry, and I was confused. I didn’t know that I loved you, I just felt so angry and needed to make you mine. I know I slept with Aio, but you did the same thing with Sora. I just… I was hurt too, babe.” Mika was completely motionless as he pulled the bottle away from Emi slightly and stared behind him in shock. Yuu was nervous at what would leave Mika’s lips next, but it definitely wasn’t what he thought it would be. Tears started to stream down his cheeks, and Yuu panicked, pulling Mika’s side into his and kissing the top of his soft hair over and over. “I-I-I… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you had feelings for me! I thought I was just a used condom! I thought you already had your way with me and the only reason you talked to me was because I was having your baby! I thought you liked Aio more than me, and even after I had sex with Sora, all I could think about was you! I-I didn’t think I was important, I thought I was just some person to fuck, like everyone else! I was scared to be honest, I was scared you wouldn’t care about me if I showed you my feelings! I was scared of everything!” Tears continued to fall down Mika’s cheeks with small sobs and hiccups. Emi started crying as well because she was extremely sensitive to her parents emotions and was almost like an animal who could sense fear. Yuu just kept kissing his mate to try and comfort him as the blonde turned his head away and moved one hand up to wipe his tears. “Why…” Mika whispered down to Emi and rubbed her cheek with the side of his finger. Mika rocked the baby in his arms and tried to calm her down by returning the bottle to her lips. “Why are your mama and daddy like this, Emi?” “Pride.” Mika peeked behind him again with a red nose and puffy eyes. “It’s pride. You didn’t want to show me you had feelings for me, and I didn’t understand mine because of my pride. We just made everything 10 times more difficult by not talking to each other about it.” After all, pride is one of the seven deadly sins so it’s no wonder it gave them such trouble. Mika nodded a little and sniffled his nose a bit. “Then we… we can’t do that anymore, okay? I don’t wanna be miserable again.” “Yeah,” Yuu nuzzled into Mika’s ear and kissed him softly. “I don’t either.” ===============================================================================   “Auntie Shinoa is here with presents!” The short, lavender haired alpha ran down the basement stairs, along with his other three friends with presents in tow. Mika was in the kitchen preparing lunch while Yuu was trying to set up an automatic rocker Emi could lay in without them having to sway her to sleep. They set up a portable crib out in the family room for her where she was sleeping right now. She didn’t get much sleep last night, so while he and Mika were both a close proximity away, she could catch up on her sleep while keeping their scents. “Shut up, Emi’s sleeping.” Yuu looked up to glare at her, but he was certainly shocked when Kimizuki and Mitsuba were carrying a pretty large box wrapped in paper with a big bow. Wow, what the hell did they get her? “Damn, that means we can’t hold her, right?” Kimizuki set the box down, along with all the smaller gifts they got her, and made their way over to him. Mitsuba and Yoichi went to chat with Mika, while Shinoa and Kimizuki sat by him. “Awh, she looks like you, but at the same time, she doesn’t because she’d be ugly that way.” “Fuck you.” Yuu didn’t bother looking up, and just attached a pole to a connector. “What’d you get her? You know she’s only 9 days old, right? She can’t play with any toys yet.” “What? She can’t?” Shinoa frowned then turned her attention to Kimizuki. “Why did Micchan tell me she can?” “She literally told you not to buy that Shinoa. Don’t pretend like you didn’t hear her.” The girl shrugged as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. “Anyways… how’s everything going with Mika? You doing the do on a regular basis now?” She wiggled her eyebrows, but Yuu just sighed. “Sadly no, and I am frustrated in many ways. Mika thinks he’s really ugly right now and he wants to take things slow. I’m still kind of anxious about how everything will go though.” “At least you guys are being honest now.” “Yeah,” Yuu smiled, as he looked up at them again. “How’s your guys’ summer? You miss me?” “Well…” Shinoa smirked. “Micchan misses having a punching bag, I miss having someone to make fun of, Yoichi is the only one who really misses you, and Kimizuki…” “I don’t miss you at all. It’s great.” “Feelings mutual.” “Yuu kun,” Yoichi timidly came over and kneeled down to look over the crib. “Wow, she’s so beautiful. She looks like Mika.” “You think so?” Yuu grinned at the little omega and smiled at his sleeping baby. “Everyone says she looks like me, but I agree with you. She has mostly Mika’s features with just my hair and eye color. Oh, and Mika says she has my nose.” “Oh, yeah! We saw those picture Lacus posted online!” Yoichi chirped. “Now all those bitches can’t rag on Mika and say the baby isn’t yours. It’s very obvious by those bright eyes that she’s yours, Yuu san.” “What?” Yuu frowned and turned his gaze to the female alpha. “When did people start saying that?” “Since the school found out Mika was pregnant. They’re just jealous and wish they had your baby, since you and Mika are mates now. They probably think that if they were in Mika’s place, then you would love them instead.” Yeah right that’ll happen. Especially since he didn’t fall for Mika after he got pregnant. Truth is, he liked Mika because Mika hated him, but he was such a beautiful person inside and out too. Except for his hatred towards him and that feisty attitude. Yuu loves Mika’s feistiness and it seems Emi inherited that from her mama. Ahh, it’ll be fun in the future when he has sass from Mika and his daughter. They need a son like him… Fuck, that would be amazing! He can teach his son the way of picking up omegas or even older woman, but he also has to show him how to find… the one. The one who makes your heart beat wildly and the one you can no longer live without. But he will also teach his son how to tell a woman’s three sizes in just one glance, or if they’re a masochist or a sadist. And to definitely find him an omega who has a sadistic side because it was a whole knew feeling when Mika started hitting him and his body started jolting in very specific places. He really wants a dominatrix Mika in his life. God, that would be heavenly. Yuu heard a crash behind him, causing the four of them to snap their gazes towards the kitchen. “I-it’s fine! I just dropped a glass.” Yuu quickly stood up and jogged to the front of the stairs to grab a pair of shoes for himself and one for Mika then made his way to the blonde. Once he was in the kitchen, Yuu slipped Mika’s slippers on, then looked up at the beautiful omega while still crouching to the ground. “You good, babe?” “I-I’m fine.” Mika quickly got down as well and started to pick up the large pieces of glass. He looked really rushed while doing it and like he wasn’t really paying attention. His balance wasn’t steady, causing him to slip and hold his hand down on the ground to catch him self. He immediately cursed with a very painful whimper, then fell back on his butt with his other hand squeezing the wrist to his injured hand. Yuu watched in horror as blood dripped down his hand in fat globs and his jaw snapped shut with pained eyes. “M-Mika!” “I’m fine…” Mika grit the words out so hard that it almost sounded like he was mad. Yuu didn’t understand why, so he just swooped Mika up in his arms and carried him towards the stairs. “Someone grab Emi and get me a damn towel!” “I just cut my hand, Yuu. I can walk.” “Mika, you’re bleeding out!” Yuu stared at him in disbelief as he walked up the basement stairs. Once they were on the first floor, you walked around the house with urgency and called out for Guren. After the fourth call, Yuu remembered the only reason they’re all home is because it’s summer break, while Guren has work and Emi is at school. Not to mention Krul works too so they can’t ask her to drive them either. “Fuck!” Yuu stared at Mika in worry, eyes glancing down at his hand now covered in dark, thick liquid. He gulped and studied the cut a bit more. There was a piece of large glass stuck in his hand and multiple smaller slits around it. Yuu started to panic with tears swelling in his eyes and his teeth chattering in worry. “I-I don’t know what to do… none of us can drive babe!” “Then call an ambulance!” “I-I don’t wanna take Emi one one of those! There’s no car seat, she could get hurt if something happens and—” “I know, I know! You’re right!” Mika squeezed his wrist harder and looked at Yuu a bit hesitantly. “I-I know who we can call, but you won’t like it.” “I don’t care at this point Mika! With the amount of blood you’re losing, you’ll pass out!” “Okay…” all his friends came up the stairs with Emi sleeping quietly in Kimizuki’s arms, and Yoichi handed Mika a kitchen towel. Once it was wrapped around his hand, Mika reached his uninjured hand into the pocket of his sweatshirt and pulled out his phone to dial a number. Once it was brought to his ear and the person picked up, Mika cleared his dry throat and looked at Yuu with anxious eyes. “Hi Sora, I’m gonna need a favor…” ***** Honesty ***** Chapter Notes I certainly didn't think this was where this chapter was going when I started it, but ya never can tell with me. I think you guys will like this chapter... some of you won't. But I think some of you have been way too easy on Mika and too hard on Yuu. Mika isn't perfect, and he made mistakes as well, and used Sora multiple times. They're even now. Have fun! “I swear to fucking god, if you crash this fucking car, I’ll come back from the dead, revive your lying asses then kill you again.” Yes… Yuu was absolutely furious the second Mika made that phone call and spoke to his least favorite person. Yuu had multiple reasons to be upset, one of which was that this was not safe and was not how they should be transporting an infant child. It’s illegal, but they literally had no other option, so they had to do it. Sora only had a small truck with no back seats so Mika was forced to sit on the middle seat with Yuu in the passenger side with Emi held securely in his arms. Mika really knew how pissed Yuu was because he had to pick between him and Emi and he chose Emi over him. It was either Yuu sitting in the middle to separate him and Sora, and having it be even more unsafe for Emi, since there’s no airbag for that seat, or he had to let Mika get squished between Yuu and Sora where Mika’s thigh was pressed against the older alphas, but Emi would be safer. He obviously chose Emi over him and Mika was a little upset about it, despite the fact that he would do the same thing if their roles were switched and somebody from Yuu’s past was driving them somewhere. Yuu was obviously peeved about having to drive like this, but the other thing Yuu was so angry about was the reason why Yuu was so pissed at Sora. Mika did sleep with Sora, plus Yuu had no idea they were still in contact, so that was like a double blow. The two alphas haven’t seen each other since he and Sora had sex, so there was Yuu’s possessive nature coming out, but he also had to put their child before it so he was stuck and unable to do anything. All except voice his opinions, which Yuu has never been shy about, and boy he was not holding back today. “You’re a fucking pedophile, do you hear me?! You’re in college and slept with a high schooler! You have no idea who you’re messing with and I’m not even talking about myself! My mate! My fucking mate, the one you fucked while he was pregnant with my fucking baby, and the one who’s been going behind my damn back, has a scary fucking sister that will bite your throat off if I told her some college student fucked her little brother! She is an old fashioned woman and is in the fucking military, so I will not hesitate to rat your bitch ass out to the she devil of a sister Mika has if it separates you two from ever seeing each other ever again!” Mika just stared down at his lap, trying to fight back the tears, and ignore his child who was crying her little lungs out next to him. He didn’t look up, he didn’t move an inch and just took the verbal beating during this 30 minute drive to the hospital. Mika thought Yuu was done when he took a moment to regain his breathing, but he heard another deep inhale, and more shouts in his direction. “How would you feel if I was seeing Aoi behind your back Mika?! We literally just talked about this this morning! I know I hurt you, babe! I know I did and I’m fucking sorry, but you hurt me too, and you seeing the other guy who fucked you behind my back, like you knew what you were doing is wrong, does not make me happy Mika! I told you, we have to trust, we have to be honest, I don’t want Emi living in a broken home like I did and keeping secrets is not a way to be honest! You cannot do that! We’re supposed to be done acting like kids! We have responsibilities now, we have a human child to raise that is our baby! She is ours Mika! Something so beautiful that we did, that we made, and we can’t fuck it up like we’ve fucked everything else up! You have to be honest! You have to tell me things! I have been nothing but honest with you since I admitted that I love you, but you kept something like this from me! I have been patient, I haven’t laid an unwanted finger on you in months and I’ve told you everything! Everything about myself you’ve wanted to know and everything I was keeping from you! You don’t know how much this hurts, you don’t know how much I just want to— Gah!” Yuu practically screamed in the small car, and Mika whimpered, tears finally falling down his cheeks, but he kept his face lowered. Yuu took another deep breath, Mika expecting more of his powerful voice to start yelling more things at him, but Mika was certainly surprised he felt Yuu’s lips mumble against the hair by his ear, and his breathy voice shook against him. “I still love you, but I just…” he pulled away completely, and it made Mika pop his head up with tears still streaming down his cheeks, and he watched Yuu lean against the window with Emi cradled protectively in his arms. If Yuu noticed his gaze, he ignored him, and just comforted their baby with little whispers of an apology and small bounces to try and block out the bumps from the road. Mika just stared at Yuu though, noticing how tired he looks with dark circles under his eyes and his body language feeling drained. The rest of the day was probably one of the worst ones in Mika’s life. No, he didn’t even notice his hand and he honestly didn’t even care about it getting looked at anymore. His heart hurt because he hurt Yuu, and the raven barely even talked about it. The bond they had… god it didn’t help right now. Mika was just in such pain that he made Yuu this upset, and Mika feels like it’s kind of hard to really make Yuu upset. He’s only seen Yuu cry once, and he’s never seen him in pain. Yeah, Mika has seen Yuu angry, but Yuu never let his emotions be this easy to read. Yuu always felt like a puzzle Mika was trying to solve. He never knew what he was thinking, how he felt about him or why he was the way he was. Yes, Yuu has been much more open with him since they started talking about their problems and what they needed from one another, but even then, Yuu was still so hard to understand sometimes. But now… he wasn’t even trying to hide it. He was upset, he was disappointed, he was angry, just every negative emotion, and it was directed at him. Yuu has never been mad at him before and Mika didn’t know how to handle it. Yuu was very possessive of him when he found out he had sex with Sora, but he wasn’t really mad at him because he still touched him and made Mika his. But Yuu was definitely upset and Mika caused these feelings. That had never happened before, and it hurt his heart and stuck in his throat like a hard lump he couldn’t force down. It was hard to breathe, like when you bite off more than you can chew and you can’t handle what you’ve taken on and swallow that damn bite of food. Mika felt like a fool, but he had no idea how to go about making things better. How do you apologize for something like this? Mika didn’t know and he couldn’t even look at what Yuu’s done to apologize because he hasn’t really done much… Well, actually… Yuu haskind of done a lot for him. He’s changed a lot for him. Mika guesses he was waiting for Yuu to do something… like take him out on a nice date and write out “I’m Sorry!” on a big banner. But Yuu honestly did something so much more meaningful than that. He changed for him. Mika can sit next to Yuu on the couch and know that he won’t touch him in a way Mika doesn’t want. Yuu was terrified to have a mate, to open up to him, but he has… he says I love you everyday and continues to say it even though he's so upset with him. Yuu always offered to do nice things for him, whether it be giving him the most amazing back rubs, or putting his shoes on for him when it was hard for him to bend over and put them on himself. Yuu worked so hard to make this happen, their new home, and Mika just acted like it was nothing. Yuu has done nothing but think about him, and Mika was still being selfish… He was still asking for more and lying right to Yuu’s face. Oh god, what has he been doing? Why has he been such a blinded fool? It’s obvious Yuu loves him and it’s obvious he’s sorry, so why is he denying him? Why is he still giving him so much shit when Mika has no room to talk? Why is he making this so much harder when it’s actually the most simple thing in the world. Mika clenched his stitched up hand, and ignored the sting of pain the shot up his arm. It was the middle of the night, over a week since Yuu found out about Sora, and it’s been horrible. Yuu still tells him he loves him everyday, he reassures that he’s there, but he still sleeps on the couch, and doesn’t give Mika a chance to even wake up in the middle of the night to take care of Emi. He such a fool… why has he made everything so difficult when it’s really the most simple thing in the world?  Mika pushed the covers back off the bed, and walked out of his room and down the hall with determination. It was eerily quiet as he tiptoed down the dark hallway and found himself standing beside Yuu on the couch. Mika instinctively froze as hesitation, insecurity and nerves overtook his mind. What was he about to do? Mika knew he was ready, he knew he wanted to have sex with Yuu for a long time, but that wasn’t what scared him. Yes he was nervous about that, but he was more nervous about what he was going to say. Mika meant it when he said he didn’t want to say those three words right away because he was terrified that things won’t go as planned, but he also… he has this gut feeling—no, it’s not a gut feeling. It’s this warmth making Yuu’s bonding mark glow— he just knew that they would make it. Maybe it would be hard at times, but Mika knew they would always find each other again. Mika just knew it. He anxiously shifted his weight from foot to foot, fingers fidgeting nervously with one another and throat swallowing hard time after time. Mika took the chance to look down at himself, and he immediately ran back in the bedroom when he realized he was wearing comfy shorts and the T shirt Yuu wore the day before which Mika stole. Once the door was quietly shut behind him, Mika quickly flipped the light on, the silently walked across the room and into the closet to fish out that thing Lacus gave him. His alpha friend had given him this… this article of clothing a while ago, but mika never planned on using it. At least not anytime soon. But he was thankful because mika knew Yuu would like it. He found the small ladder and climbed up to the top shelf in the closet to pull a shoe box from its tucked away place. Once he was on the ground with it opened, Mika pulled out the sweatshirt that he kept hidden in here, which Yuu lent him all those months ago, until he was at the bottom of the box. He pulled out the cream, lacy piece of fabric and laid it out on the floor so he could see it in its glory. Pushing down the blush, Mika quickly stood up and stripped off his pajamas before he thought about it too much, then slipped on the silk G string thong that barely covered his length. His bottom felt so bare and it was a different sensation having a sting up his ass, but he ignored it and pulled the top of the lingerie on. Mika shuffled into the bathroom, his bare feet hitting the cold tiles, and he looked himself up and down. The top was made completely out of cream lace, except for the cinched in underwire of the bra that made his waist look very slim and extended down towards his ribs. The tops of his breasts were covered by sheer lace so his nipples could be seen, with just a silk bra on the underside of his breasts which pushed them up and made them look quite nice. There was a cute bow on the underwire under his left breast, and the rest of the top flowed down to his upper thighs with a prettier and more detailed lace with sparkles sown into the bottom hem, but the back was shorter because his bottom wasn’t flat like his legs were in the front. Mika had to turn around and look at himself from the side. His butt was probably looking the best it’s ever looked, but his tummy was not in the same condition, and it would never be the same again. It’s only been a less then three weeks since Emi was born and he had to heal before he started to work out so his stomach was still quite frumpy and it now has a cut across it from his c- section, along with a stretch marks. Mika debated on just going back to bed and finding another way to apologize, but he knew Yuu wanted this and he wanted something else so it had to be this. Sighing, he rubbed his cheeks a bit and slapped his face to try and wake himself up, then fixed his hair and applied some tinted chapstick because he knew Yuu liked it. With one last deep breath, Mika tiptoed back out of his room and into the dark living area where he stood at the side of the couch again and watched Yuu sleep. Nerves flooded through him again because Mika has never done anything like this before, and the thought of Yuu rejecting him really scared him more than Mika imagined. He tried not to think about it though and crawled on the couch so he was straddling Yuu’s stomach. Yuu shifted in his sleep, and Mika held his breath, the silence in the dark basement making Mika nervous. He suddenly felt like the walls were watching him, but now wasn’t the time, as he watched Yuu stir beneath him. He noticed how peaceful Yuu looked while sleeping, and it made him smile when he finally settled down, and a soft snore tumbled out. Mika thought he was cute. His eyes then traced his lips, and the thought of Yuu’s tongue ring suddenly popped in his head and it made Mika blush out of embarrassment. He had enough of just watching him and softly cupped the sides of Yuu’s neck then slowly leaned over so his lips where touching Yuu’s. Mika felt his hot breath fan against him, and Mika licked his lips, before he pressed them together and rubbed his thumb over Yuu’s jaw. His heart was pounding so loud Mika couldn’t even hear anything else. Mika felt Yuu exhale and he stretched his body a bit. Mika just pulled away slightly so their eyes would meet right away and smiled when Yuu’s eyes feathered open with Mika’s hair falling loosely around his face in soft waves. Yuu blinked his drowsy eyes awake, and his brows furrowed when he finally adjusted. “Mika…?” He voice always sounds so sexy when he just wakes up. It makes Mika excited. Mika inhaled sharply, but kept his gaze on Yuu with that determination he had before. “I love you…” He whispered so softly, and giggled when Yuu raised a brow at him. “Am… am I dreaming or…?” “No, I’m real… and I’m sorry. Let me make it up to you, Yuu chan.” Yuu still looked so confused and just laid there when Mika crawled his was down Yuu’s body, and tugged the blanket along with him. It’s like Yuu accepted that this was a dream because he kind of closed his eyes and waved him off like this has happened in his head enough times already. It made Mika blush a bit, but he didn’t dwell on it and pulled Yuu’s boxers and pjs down past his length swiftly. He wasn’t very erect, but Mika would change that. Figuring Yuu needs to wake up as soon as possible, Mika grasped Yuu in his small,  uninjured hand then stroked him up and down. “Mmm, Mika…” his head rolled around a bit while Mika rubbed him, but he had enough of Yuu “dreaming” and quickly swallowed his head into his mouth. “Oh!” Mika giggled around him, quite amused by Yuu’s sleepy state, and licked at his hardening head thoroughly. “Fuck. This… this feels way more real than usual.” Mika popped off him completely. “That’s because this is real.” Then his mouth was on him again, and it made Yuu’s eyes fly open. He finally looked down at him like he was actually seeing him for the first time, and he started at Mika is disbelief, but was also trying to hold himself back. “W-wait, did… did you say... what I think you did?” That made Mika smile. He wasn’t even concerned about the blowjob right now, and was more interested in those three words Mika said. He was right… that was how he would make it up to Yuu. By expressing what Yuu has wanted to hear and what Mika has felt for even longer than even Yuu has. Yuu’s rough, large hand cupped his cheek and he guided Mika’s lips up off himself and sat up a bit so they were face to face. “W-was I dreaming or… or did you say… d-did you say it?” Mika answered his question by moving on top of him and pressing their lips together. It was soft, and only lasted for a moment, but it took Yuu’s breath away momentarily. Mika pulled away before it could get too heated and smiled up at his mate with such devotion and warmth. “I love you, Yuu chan.” All of a sudden, Mika’s back hit the couch with a small oof, and he opened his eyes to find his mate looming over him. Yuu didn’t attack him with his lips like Mika thought he would. He just looked down at him with disbelief, but also hope. “Y-you mean it? I-I thought you… I thought you didn’t want to say it yet.” “You’re more important, Yuu chan.” Mika reached his hand up to cup Yuu’s cheek and smiled at him. “I’ve been so selfish. I know things won’t be easy… we’ve already hit a bump in the road, but… it wasn’t your fault like I thought it would be. You have been nothing but good to me and I was blinded by the thought of losing you, but I know you won’t leave. I know you love me, I know you’re sorry. And I’m sorry too. I love you.” That seemed to be enough to push Yuu over the edge, and his lips were suddenly on his. Mika couldn’t help but moan as his eyes feathered shut from the relentless kisses attacking his lips. Over and over, Yuu kissed him. The saliva from their mouths mixing together and the wet noises making Mika’s length grow at how dirty it sounded. Their lips smacked together, before Yuu had enough and his licked his way down to Mika’s chest. Yuu practically snarled once he finally noticed what Mika was wearing, and he snapped his eyes up to Mika’s barely opened ones with heat twisting inside those emeralds irises which showed all the passion and arousal he felt for him. “Where’d you get this sexy little thing?” Yuu managed to asked before he cupped both his small breasts and ran his rough thumbs over the lace on his nipples. Mika’s breath hitched and his back arched with his thighs squirming together. “Lacus… h-he thought you might like it.” “Well he was right.” Yuu’s mouth was suddenly on his right breast still over the lace, and he licked the rough fabric with his piercing flicking at his nipple. Mika buried his fingers in Yuu’s dark hair and stretched his legs out straight with his toes flexed and stomach tight with pleasure. Yuu’s hand slipped down the center of Mika’s stomach until he was at his panties, and he dove his hand into them to play with Mika’s little erection. He rubbed him up and down. Mika’s head rolled back and his asshole started to drip in prepare for what Mika was literally aching for. He’s been ready to have sex with Yuu for so long, but he held himself back. And he knew Yuu felt the same way, but Mika also wanted this to last. He never wanted this to end so he didn’t rush it and just whimpered in pleasure at the attention he was given. “Yuu…” He massaged his breasts, left hickeys on his neck and rubbed Mika off until he was absolutely dripping with shiny cum and self lubricant. Mika was on the edge of his seat while Yuu slid his hand further south to what Mika was so thirsty for, and he prodded his finger at his entrance. Mika gasped and his bud closed in around Yuu’s finger like he was trying to suck Yuu inside. He felt his insides contract and a mewl bubbled up his throat with his eyes squeezed shut tight. Mika felt Yuu’s eyes on him and he knew without even looking that he was incredibly turned on. The g string panties were suddenly being tugged down his legs, before Yuu pushed his thighs upward so his asshole was in view and his little cock was aching at full attention. “I love you.” That’s all Yuu said before his hot mouth was suddenly on him and his finger pushed inside his scorching cavern. Yuu sucked him so hard that Mika thought his balls would turn blue, but it felt so good at how thorough he was and his finger inside him was relentless. His vision started to spot and his eyes flew open, teeth clenched shut and back arching off the bed. He moaned Yuu’s name, needy for him entirely and more fingers inside him. It was all too much though and he released inside Yuu’s hot mouth. Yuu almost popped all the way off him, all except his head, which Yuu’s tongue ring tormented his slit still leaking with cum. Mika felt exhausted, but Yuu didn’t give him a break. His mouth finally pulled off him and he focused all his attention on his asshole and stretching it out. Yuu easily lifted him up off the couch and positioned him on all fours so he had easier access. Mika didn’t know what to say after his first orgasm because they never really had those romantic talks the last two times they had sex. Yuu ran out of the closet the first time and Mika got mad at him when Yuu was being sweet, so he didn’t really know what to say. He didn’t know if he should be romantic, or thank him? How does this go? It doesn’t seem like he should really thank his mate after giving him an orgasm so what’s the right protocol? Even when he had sex with Sora, Mika left right after they finished. Yuu knew what to do though as he leaned over him so his back was pressed to Mika’s with his lips breathing into his ear. “How’d I do?” “Good..” Mika felt almost giddy for some reason but that was soon replaced with embarrassment and pleasure when two of Yuu’s fingers were suddenly in his ass and he pumped them in and out with liquid gushing down his thighs. “You’re so wet, Mika…” He added a third finger and breathed that sexy voice right into his ear. “How bout I get you wet with something of my own?” His voice rasped, and it made the hairs on the back of Mika’s neck stick up. Mika curtly nodded over and over, and swallowed hard when he could feel something big and hard prod at his entrance. “You sure this is okay, babe?” Mika just nodded and reached a hand behind his head to tug on Yuu’s hair. “There’s nothing I want more.” Then, Yuu was inside him, and Mika bit back a scream. Yuu’s cock pulsed inside and his hips twitched, like he was holding back from fucking the absolute shit out of him. It’s been months since Yuu had sex, and Mika knew that was a long time for him, so he was probably overwhelmed with the sheer pleasure of being inside an ass. “Fuck.” Yuu grit out so hard it sounded angry. “I... I need a different position, babe.” Before mike could answer, Yuu picked him up by the thighs so Mika’s back was against Yuu’s chest, and he was still inside him. When Yuu started to carry him down the hall, Mika thought he was moving them to their bed, which Mika was happy about, but Yuu didn’t move towards it after he kicked the door closed, and took Mika to the bathroom instead. Mika then thought they were going to take a nice bath and have sex in there, but what Yuu did instead was much worse. He stood in front of the mirror so Mika could clearly see Yuu’s bulging cock inside him, and it made him blush in embarrassment and turn his head away. “Mika… look at yourself.” Yuu nipped at his shoulder with his eyes trying to meet Mika’s through the mirror. It took a moment before he built up enough courage, but Mika finally looked at himself. “See how beautiful you are, baby? This lingerie… your creamy skin… your sexy body all flushed in embarrassment, and my fat cock stretching your asshole.” “D-don’t…” “You don’t mean that Mika. I want you to look at yourself and look at yourself good. Only I will see you this way, only I will know how cute you are when you flush, only I will feel your tight scorching insides, and only I will pleasure you.” Mika shakily nodded, and it made Yuu smirk against his ear rather devilishly. “That pedophile will not touch you, he will not step in our home, he will not hold our baby and he will not see you like this ever again.” “H-he’s just my friend, Yuu…” “A friend who’s fucked you. And that’s a good reason for me to hate him.” Yuu suddenly kissed him rather sweetly and smiled at him through the mirror with a look that was the complete opposite. “Just remember babe… I may be a masochist on some parts of myself, but I can be also be a sadistic bastard you won’t want to mess with. If you see him behind my back one more fucking time, I will punish the shit out of you with no mercy.” Mika’s head rolled back at the sound of it and his asshole tightened around Yuu’s length. “That just… makes me wanna break the rule…” Mika breathed like he was having a hard time staying sane. His cock has already grown again at Yuu’s possessive behavior, plus Yuu being inside him was a major factor. His breath shook under Yuu’s intense gaze and his body started to tremble, his cock jumping and and leaking cum without even being touched. “Try it and you’ll regret it, but I’ll be glad to play games.” Yuu was suddenly searching through the drawers of in their bathroom, looking for something while still managing to keep Mika on his cock and in the air. The little movements of Yuu inside him made more liquid seep from his slit and juices dropped down his asshole and made a mess on the floor. Yuu finally seemed to find something satisfactory and sat down on the closed toilet lid with Mika in his lap, and he slipped something rubber over his cock. Mika immediately felt like his cock was almost being chocked, and like it was hard to breathe. Once Yuu stood up again in front of the mirror, he smirked at him and reached one hand down to rub at Mika’s straining dick. “Mika baby… this is a cock ring. It will stop you from ever releasing until I take it off. If you take it off, I will punish you again, but with your hands cuffed to the bedpost.” Mika tried to ignore how turned on he was by this because he had an important question to ask. “Where would you be getting cuffs and why was that hidden in the same drawer with our toothbrushes?” “I have sex toys hidden throughout the room for when this day came. You should be happy, babe.” Mika was about to voice his opinions about it being with his toothbrush… the thing he puts in his mouth because who knows who else this evil thing has been on. But a hard thrust inside him definitely distracted Mika’s mind, and his moan echoed through the bathroom. The liquid inside Mika made noises as Yuu thrusted inside him, their skin slapping hard against each other and heavy curses tumbling out Yuu’s throat. Thrust after thrust left Mika off worse than the one before. Yuu was like an animal and Mika couldn’t help but watch him. He looked sexy with sweat glistening his skin and his hard arms holding him up. Yuu didn’t have a shirt on, but Mika couldn’t see him because he was in the way. Yuu’s emerald eyes glistened with pleasure and they racked up Mika’s own body, staring at him like he wanted to fuck him even though he was already doing it, and he bit his lip hard while watching the pleasure on Mika’s face. His back arched into Yuu’s chest and his toes curled. He could feel his eyes becoming drowsy as his second orgasm reached it peak, but… there was nothing. Mika grew agitated, his body squirming and and lips trembling, feeling like he was about to cry he wanted it so bad. Yuu smirked against his ear, thrust after thrust hitting his prostate… nibble after nibble against the boding mark on his neck, and hot breath after hot breath teasing Mika so much he wanted to scream. He knew what Yuu wanted, he knew what he was thinking, and he knew what he himself wanted. But Yuu didn’t seem like he wanted to hear it yet. He just thrusted harder, taking obvious pleasure in seeing Mika struggle over the pure pain, but also pleasure of his cock ponding into him. Yuu’s lips were suddenly pressed to his ear again, and he panted against him with a smirk. “Mika…” That made Mika jolt, and his cock arched high, just begging to be relieved. He hurt. He hurt so bad and the constant pounding didn’t help. Mika’s head fell back on Yuu’s shoulder and he groaned, more cum pooling out of his slit. No longer being able to take it anymore, Mika reached his hands up to tangle his fingers in Yuu’s hair and he tugged him so their lips met in a heated kiss. Tongues twirled, teeth clacked, and spit was exchanged. Mika finally pulled away and looked directly into Yuu’s aroused eyes. “I-I’m yours… I won’t let him touch me, I won’t lie ever again… I love you.” The cock ring was off him in a matter of seconds, and after one last hard thrust, his orgasm reached its peak. Scorching hot liquid soaked his contracting walls, pulling out Yuu’s orgasm as well. He felt hot, sticky semen explode inside him and fill his belly. It made him twitch in pleasure as a full body orgasm took over him. Yuu grit his teeth hard, riding out the wave of Mika’s spasms and coating his walls. Mika was shaking and his body went slack in Yuu’s arms. They both caught their breath before Yuu set Mika down on the bathroom counter, then stood in front of him with an almost blinding smile. “You wanna take a bath?” How can he be so happy after something so draining? “Yes please.” Yuu sauntered on over to the tub and turned the water on to a comfortable temperature. They were both sweating so not too hot, but too cold and it would shock them. Once the tub was filling, Yuu slipped the lingerie off Mika’s body, then picked him up bridal carry and place him in the tub. “Can we use one of your bath bombs?” Mika couldn’t help but giggle. It’s still hard to believe that Yuu uses those. But he just grinned, and dug through a cupboard under the sink and pulled out a few options. "You want floral, citrusy, or sweet?” Mika smacked his lips together to hide a smile with his fingers running through the water, but he eventually couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. “You’re such a dork, Yuu chan.” Yuu grinned. “Fine, I’ll pick then.” He brought a pink and red bath bomb over then quickly slipped his pants and boxers down all the way. He slipped into the bath behind him then plopped the fizzing bath bomb in once the water was a little higher. Yuu leaned back against the tub and Mika did the same against Yuu’s chest and cuddled up into his mates hard chest. The bath bomb smelt like roses and there were even some red petals that burst from the fizz that made it really romantic. Yuu may be satisfied with how things ended, but Mika wasn’t quite yet. He wanted to express what he was feeling and tell Yuu the whole truth so there weren’t anymore secrets. Yuu listened intently to his story… about how he met Sora while almost getting raped and he saved him. Yuu got very tense while he explained the whole thing, and he knew he felt guilty, but Yuu just wrapped his arms around his middle and held onto him tight. He told Yuu how he lied to him on the phone to make him jealous… and how he got upset the day he met Akane and asked Sora to have sex with him. He didn’t go into details about it, like how Mika wouldn’t want to hear details about all the people Yuu has slept with. He then went onto explain how he met up with Sora again to try and work things out after Yuu said all that stuff while making the registry. He told him how Sora rejected him and that he had a girlfriend, and how Sora told him he needs to focus on himself. Then he got to the Emi's bedroom, which Mika knew Yuu wouldn’t like. He told him how Sora came over and got all the wallpaper off the correct way, and he also explained how you’re supposed to do it and how he wanted to make him suffer so that’s why Mika made it harder on him. Then they were all caught up   Yuu was quiet for a moment, but Mika knew he wouldn’t leave him. Yuu eventually kissed his head and positioned Mika so he was on his side. Yuu cleaned him in the warm bath which smelt of roses, then they got out and cuddled on the couch until Emi woke up. It was a lazy day full of cuddles and family time.
