“You know how he can be,” replies Yuuto.  “Stepfather won’t back down.”  Yuuto doesn’t fully understand why his stepfather took him away from his bio dad.  All he did was treat Yuuto like a pawn for his business ventures.  Try to control him at every chance he could get.  He never stopped his siblings or stepmother from treating him like crap.  Then they took away the only person who made him feel alive.  Yuuto continues to eat seeing his sister appear deep within thought.  He wonders what she is thinking about.  Feodora kindly states Shouta will forgive him.

Yuuto holds in a sigh.  It doesn’t feel like it.  Yuuto knew their friendship was special but now he truly knows how much it was.  His heart flutters a little.  Yuuto doesn’t understand why.  It’s not like Shouta is here giving him that icy glare.  He knows Shouta is different and so is he.  Yuuto believes at the core they still get along well.  Despite how standoffish Shouta is he still trusts him as much as he does his sister.  Feodora inquires about his friendship with Shouta.  His alpha moves within him at the thought of him and Shouta being more than friends. 

How?  He wanted to be friends.  Right?  Yuuto can feel his cheeks heating up.  He remembers seeing Shouta passed out.  He never felt so scared in his life.  It’s far from normal to see an omega in post heat releasing such a strong scent and fainting.  He was thankful to be there before that female alpha could take him away.  Yuuto begins to ask himself what does make Sho special to him.  It’s not just the fact Shouta is an omega.  He is an omega that accepts him.  He doesn’t treat him as if he is a pawn, rich, or a top alpha.  The more Yuuto thinks about the more he feels like Shouta would be the perfect omega for him.  He glances down as he never thought too hard about finding a mate.  Should he even really be thinking about Shouta being his mate when they are not even friends?

“I honestly don’t know Feodora,” he says lowly looking at his plate.  Yuuto has dated a few people but mostly at the push of his father.  He didn’t really care for the people he dated previously.  Yuuto is not even sure what it feels like to truly be interested in anyone romantically.  He refuses to have that kind of conversation with his sister.  He is not sure it is the kind of conversation he wants to have with anyone.  Yuuto places his elbows on the table burying his face into his hands.  Why does this question have to be so hard for him to answer?  God….
