Yuuto feels his heart jump for joy. He holds in a grin that threatens to break out on face. It’s not like he wasn’t smiling a moment ago but this is different. Shouta has not forgiven him but he is willing to try. Yuuto knows he would never betray Shouta or take him for granted as he had before. Since seeing Shouta in his family’s office his world is already brighter. What will happen once they start talking regularly? Yuuto mind is filled with many thoughts.
“Thank you,” he replies taking his phone from Shouta hand.
He knows when to allow his soft side to show and when to be stern he notes to himself.
I like that. Yuuto doesn’t want to try to convince Shouta anymore by words. He will now allow his actions to speak for him. Yuuto takes a deep breath breathing what is left of Shouta scent surrounding them.
“Thanks for hearing me out. I’m not going to keep you. I’m sure you have plenty to do.” Yuuto puts his phone back in his hoodie pocket.
“I’ll text you.” He wonders if Shouta will feel more comfortable texting him. He hopes it will ease Shouta. He waves before parting from Shouta although he wants to continue talking to him. The temperature is dropping. The chill is well felt in the air. It would be best if they both got home.
Yuuto arrives at his car unlocking the door. His car is nothing fancy. It is a used white 2014 Nissan Maxima. He begins to wonder how Shouta is getting home. Maybe he should have offered him a ride. No, that would be too much for them just talking again. Shouta is grown and knows how to be safe on his own. Yuuto doesn’t have to do everything. He can’t help but want to do everything for Shouta. Make sure he is safe and happy. Yuuto plugs up his cell before selecting a nice lofi chill music station. Since it is close to the holidays, he is not expecting a lot of traffic on his way home.
As Yuuto drives his mind drifts to Shouta upcoming heat. He wonders who Shouta is going to mate? Does he have a regular partner or does he go to a mating house? Yuuto grunts to himself as he would prefer to have a regular mate, but he has to opt to go to a mating house which he absolutely hates with everything in him. Yuuto has no problem mating but it feels so dead and primitive when it is with someone he doesn’t know. He swallows down the disgust he feels at the thought alone. Lucky for him he has a little while before he will need to mate for his rut.
Mating is not something he likes to discuss with anyone as his views are different from his peers around him. Especially alphas. People such as his brother Tatsuya view omegas as objects and slaves to obey alphas. Omegas are people, not objects. His stepfather has constantly encouraged him to find a strong accommodating mate. His stepfather prefers him to have a wealthy or high class omega, alpha, or beta in that order. Yuuto has already told his stepfather to stop meddling in his personal affairs. He will choose his mate when the time is right.
Yuuto makes it home safely after a long drive. He enters his apartment building heading upstairs to the 3rd floor. It isn’t a luxury apartment, but it is home. He takes a deep breath before entering the place he calls home. Sarada his cat comes trotting to the door before he even has a chance to close it. Yuuto smiles picking her up. Sarada is his one true companion. She is orange striped with deep caramel brown eyes. Sarada is always loving towards him no matter what.
“Hi Sarada,” he greets petting her.
“You will never guess what happened to me today.” He pets her as she begins to purr contently being in his arms.
