Suspect Of Love

Dante couldn’t believe it.

Someone in Japan could actually go toe-to-toe with him, and not just on the court, but with presence, energy, pull. It was jarring.

The first time he saw him, he was standing next to Maya.

At first, Dante felt... hurt.

An odd emotion for someone like him. After all, he was the one who ended things. He’d done it because Maya refused to attend the same high school. It was petty. Childish. He could admit that now. But still, Dante had never stopped loving him.

He’d been around. Slept around. Hookups, yes. But dating? Never. Not since Maya.

And now? Maya was standing beside someone new, someone tall,.but not as tall as him, with quiet eyes and a presence so heavy it made Dante’s skin prickle. Worse, the guy was undeniably good-looking. If he weren’t with Maya, Dante might have shamelessly tried to sleep with him. Hell, who was he kidding—he still might if the guy asked.

But there was something strange about him. Dante had tried to pick up a scent, anything to guess his secondary gender, but there was... nothing. It was like trying to smell through glass. Transparent. Void.

Weird.

He considered asking Maya about him, but with the Winter Cup around the corner, there wasn’t time. And Maya’s new boyfriend, Taiga, was going to be his opponent in the finals. Great.

Then, before the Winter Cup, he saw him again.

Dante had intended to be civil. Maybe even friendly. But it was like his mouth refused to cooperate with his better judgment. Socializing had never been his strong suit, and emotions? Even worse. So, of course, he did what he always did, defaulted to arrogance and sarcasm.

“Yo. What are you doing here? Can you even afford the stuff in this place?”

Taiga’s reaction was immediate. His brows furrowed. His lips curled back just slightly.

He bared his teeth.

That wasn’t a normal reaction. Not from an Alpha. Definitely not from an Omega. It clicked immediately, only an Enigma would dare bare their teeth at another.

So the rumors were true.

“Who the hell do you think you are, broke-shaming people, asshole?” Taiga had shot back.

Dante hadn’t expected that.

It didn’t anger him the way it should have. In fact, it made something in his chest twist, a dull ache he didn’t recognize at first. Was it... shame?

He hated that.

He was supposed to be the dominant one, the predator. He had come to reassert control, to remind Maya who he used to belong to. But instead, here he was, awkward and off-balance.

Still, he smirked. Tried to salvage the moment. “You don’t look it. Can’t blame me.”

Why did he say that?

Why did he always ruin things before they could even start?

Taiga didn’t bother with a response. Just rolled his eyes and walked away like Dante wasn’t even worth the effort.

It stung more than it should have.

As Taiga’s back receded, Dante found himself frozen. He wanted to follow. To say sorry. To fix... something.

He stared at Taiga’s profile for a long moment, then muttered to himself under his breath, "What the fuck is wrong with me?"

Taiga couldn’t believe it either.

There was actually someone more talented than him, someone who made him push harder, think faster, play smarter.

Maya had introduced him reluctantly.

“This is Dante,” he’d said. “We... used to be close.”

Used to be close. That explained the tension in Maya’s voice. The way his scent trembled just slightly. It also explained why Dante had looked at him not with curiosity, but with quiet challenge.

He didn’t say much during that first meeting. Just looked at Taiga and... smirked.

Was it a smile? Maybe. But it felt more like a test.

Taiga didn’t like it.

He also didn’t like how attractive the guy was. Two or three inches taller, solid build, darker complexion. His hair was a deep ocean blue, darker than Maya’s light sky hue, and his eyes matched. Intense. Quietly dangerous.

Taiga would never admit it, but he found him attractive. That was a secret he intended to take to his grave.

Taiga POV:

The second time they crossed paths was in a Nike store. Taiga had been checking out new trainers when he heard it:

“Yo.”

He turned, automatically smiling in response to the voice.

The smile didn’t last.

“What are you doing here? Can you even afford the stuff in this place?”

The arrogance hit him like a slap.

Instantly, the smile vanished. Taiga squared up, glaring.

“And who the hell do you think you are, broke-shaming people, asshole?”

The other boy didn’t flinch. Instead, he smirked again, taunting, dismissive.

“You don’t look it. Can’t blame me.”

That was it.

Not worth the effort.

Taiga turned and walked away, every instinct telling him not to waste another second on someone like him. But as he left, he could feel it, eyes boring into his back. Watching. Thinking.

“Asshole,” Taiga muttered under his breath.

  • Aligned Fantasy   High or Drunk

    Trigger Warning : This chapter contains mature scenes.. Kisses like they were starved. Taiga's hands roamed, Dante's hands groped and touched everything, anything, like he would die if he didn't have a taste of the Luna in his arms, tongue trailing over every inch, kisses dragged down his neck, fingers grabbing plush thighs until he was grinding and rutting like a crazed man. "Fuck, you smell good," he panted, grabbing a fistful of hair before swallowing the needy moans daring to escape from Taiga's lips. "I bet I taste good too," Taiga rasped out. The groan Dante let out was enough to send waves down his spine. Before he knew it, he was being picked up effortlessly and dropped onto the massive bed in front of him. He took in the sight of Taiga on his bed. It might not have been the first time he'd had him there, yet it still did something to him, the Luna on his bed was beautiful, hooded eyes staring up at him, waiting for his next touch, kiss, word, anything. He watched Taiga's

  • Aligned Fantasy   Surfing on sand.

    Taiga slowly pushed the bedroom door open, his heartbeat loud enough to make his chest ache. The room was dimly lit, the curtains drawn halfway while soft golden light spilled across the expensive furniture. Everything smelled like Dante. Cedarwood, smoke, and something dark underneath it all. But Dante was not there. Taiga frowned slightly, stepping further into the room before a strange sound caught his attention. A harsh gargling sound. His eyes shifted toward the bathroom door. The sound came again, quieter this time, followed by the rush of running water. Taiga’s expression hardened instantly. Without thinking twice, he walked toward the bathroom and pushed the door open. Dante froze. One hand gripped the edge of the sink while the other hurriedly wiped at his mouth. Water still dripped from his lips, but Taiga immediately noticed the faint streaks of red staining the white sink basin. And beside it. Bloodied tissues inside the waste bin. Dante’s eyes wi

    He looked the same, but he felt different. Sweat poured down his face, heavy breaths leaving his lips as he stared at himself in the mirror. He did not look much different from before. In fact, he looked exactly the same. But one thing was certain, Taiga felt like a completely different person. His mind drifted back to the conversation he had with Phoebe. Dante was slowly withering away. One of two things could happen now. Either he successfully broke the half bond they already shared, or Taiga finally admitted his feelings and completed it.“I love him,” he whispered aloud, the words sounding strange and heavy in the silence of the room. Now all that was left was saying it to Dante’s face. The drive to Dante’s house was painfully quiet. Tatsuya kept stealing quick glances at him from the driver’s seat, his fingers tapping lazily against the steering wheel while soft music played in the background.“Hey,” Tatsuya finally spoke, breaking the silence, “I’m sure whatever you’re

  • Aligned Fantasy   Taiga And His Luna.

    Linking with his Luna wasn’t supposed to be easy. Taiga knew that. Everyone always said it was the hardest thing a Luna could do, because it wasn’t just physical, it was a complete surrender of self. Still, he hadn’t expected it to feel like this. He lay in bed, sheets twisted around his bare legs, body slick with sweat. The room felt like a furnace, the air heavy with his pheromones. Heat pulsed through every nerve, relentless waves pounding his body as though trying to split him open from the inside. And yet, through it all, he forced himself to stay awake. He wasn’t going to lose consciousness. Not tonight. Normally, when any secondary gender entered heat or rut, the primary gender slipped back, became dormant, letting the secondary drive the body until the cycle ended. It was nature’s way of surviving something so brutal. But for a Luna, things were different. If he wanted to truly link with his Luna, if he wanted total control and communication between both parts of himself, h

  • Aligned Fantasy   Reality Is A Bitch 2.

    Trigger warning: This scene contains Non consexual sex, Do proceed with caution! The ride to Takuri’s apartment had been a blur of panic and resistance. Rin remembered every second of it, the grip on his wrist, iron and unyielding, the way Takuri all but shoved him into the passenger seat, the harsh silence broken only by his own ragged breaths. The doors had locked automatically. There was no escape. When the car finally stopped, Rin had barely opened his mouth to protest before he was yanked out, his body stumbling, dragged like prey by the predator he once thought he understood. Inside, Takuri’s apartment smelled of clean leather and faint cologne. Too polished. Too suffocating. Rin’s pulse hammered in his ears. “Takuri—stop! You can’t just—” His voice cracked, but the words died when Takuri turned, eyes burning that deep Enigma glow, his jaw set with something primal. Izumi was there. Sitting elegantly on a chair, a glass of red wine in hand, her legs crossed. Watching. W

  • Aligned Fantasy   Reality Is A Bitch.

    Taiga was shocked, worry written boldly across his face. Was Dante dying? What had become of him? “Do you love my son?” Phoebe asked, her sharp eyes fixed on him. “Apparently, he confides in my butler more than he does his own mother.” She gave a strained laugh, bitter at the edges. “Aoki says he confided in him one night. My son had asked what he would have done if the person he loves doesn’t love him back.” She sighed, her expression faltering. Taiga’s eyes widened. He dragged his hands down his face, remembering that night, the silly game they’d played, the word that had sat at the tip of his tongue. He hadn’t wanted to spit it out, hadn’t wanted to let his Luna surrender so easily. “If the feelings I have are one-sided, then I’d love them more than anyone has ever loved them, even if it kills me. That was the reply that damned butler gave him,” Phoebe continued. She gave a short chuckle and shook her head in disdain. “Why? Why does my love affect him so badly? I accepted

    The gym was empty. Hollow. The air stale with tension and regret. Takuri sat alone on the bench, unmoving, his elbows resting on his knees, hands limp between them, head bowed like a broken statue. He hadn’t moved in over ten minutes, lost in a trance of guilt and confusion. Taiga stood at the

    Rin gasped, still breathless, clinging tightly to the arms in front of him. His vision swam with tears. His body shook uncontrollably in this stranger’s hold. The voice softened. “Captain…? I mean—Rin?” He knew that voice. Knew who it belonged to. He raised his head slowly, hands still clutch

    “Dante... I didn’t know it was this bad for you,” Maya said softly from behind him. “I thought you just wanted us to try something new. I didn’t realize you were unraveling.” That word. Unraveling. Yeah, he was. He turned to face Maya, expression hard but his eyes wild. “You want the truth,

    Taiga’s breathing was erratic. His hands trembled. “I told you that night meant nothing,” he said to Dante, but his voice lacked conviction. “It was a mistake.” “You keep saying that,” Dante replied darkly. “But you don’t act like it.”, stepping closer, " no matter how hard you push me away taiga
