Tsuyoshi was standing in front of him as he entered his room upon his return from walking Sora to the station.
“So, how was Cutie-chan? How far did you get?”
“Mind your own business! And get out of my room. If you’re so pent up for sex why don’t you just jerk off or pay someone.”
“Who says I’m pent up?”
“Just stay away from him.” Takeo released a dominating scent toward his best friend.
“Woah! Calm down, loverboy. While I do think that he is cute, his shy personality is not really my type. I like ‘em bold,” Tsuyoshi says as he steps aside and exits Takeo’s room.
“Whatever, keep your hands off him.”
“Heh. Can do, captain,” he mocked as Takeo slammed the door in his face.
One month later.
Takeo and Tsuyoshi are walking together to Sora’s university. Takeo promised to pick him up from school today. Tsuyoshi said he felt left out and lonely and just randomly invited himself along.
Takeo sighed and thought, I just hope he won’t say anything stupid to Sora. As they approached the university gates they saw Sora standing and talking with a friend of his Takeo has never seen before.
“Sora!” Takeo shouts out and runs toward him.
“Take-san!”
“What a lovey-dovey idiot couple, showing off just because I’m single right now,” Tsuyoshi dejectedly mutters to himself under his breath as he is left walking alone once again for the gorgeous Omega. That asshole, he forgets our 10 year friendship the minute he sees Sora.
When Tsuyoshi finally catches up to them, Sora introduces his friend since high school he’s been talking to, Azuma Seimei, who was slightly taller than Sora at 185 cm yet just a few centimeters from the looming Alphas’ heights, Takeo at 188 cm and Tsuyoshi towering at 190 cm.
He has a nice face. His body is not bad too, Tsuyoshi observes.
Azuma notices Tsuyoshi leering at his body, “What are you staring at, you piece of shit?”
“Huh!?” Tsuyoshi yells.
“Azuma-chan, calm down!” Sora tries to dispel the bad atmosphere.
“I said, stop leering at me you perverted creep!”
“Who would leer at you, spoiled brat!”
Takeo moved to get between his childhood friend who was starting to turn a light shade of red at being called out and Sora’s shockingly bold and outspoken put-off friend.
“Now, Now. I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding. Just apologize, Sen.” He did say he likes them pretty and feisty, thinks Takeo.
“Who’s apologizing!”
It would be nice if he got a boyfriend, then he would stop hanging around me and Sora all the time. Takeo ignores Tsuyoshi’s remark.
“Nice to meet you, Azuma-kun. I’m Kobayashi Takeo and this guy here is my childhood friend Tsuyoshi Sen. Even though he might be annoying and obnoxious sometimes, please treat him well… ”
Neither of them were looking at Takeo as he spoke, both seemingly engaged in a staring contest, the tension between them escalating. Sora and Takeo stood on the sidelines silently watching them.
Finally Tsuyoshi broke the silence with a loud, “Brat!” and Azuma answered with an equally loud “Pervert!” and they both turned away from each other as if disgusted at the presence of the other.
At their first meeting, Azuma thought of Tsuyoshi as a “sex-crazed Alpha” and Tsuyoshi similarly thought of Azuma as an “arrogant Omega.” That was the beginning of their love.
Takeo and Sora have been dating for 2 months and still have not consummated their love. Of course, there was no rush but still it was only natural to feel that desire, seeing as they were lovers.
As all four walked unavoidably in the same direction, Sora and Takeo walking at the same pace in the front and Tsuyoshi and Azuma not looking at each other behind them, Takeo initiated his proposal, “Sora, you have a break coming up next week, don’t you? Why don’t we go to an onsen or something?”
“An onsen? That would be nice. Yeah, let’s go!”
At the onsen, a date meant for two lovers has turned into an entourage of four. Sora and Takeo are sharing one room while Tsuyoshi and Azuma reluctantly agree to share a room. Why are they here? Can’t they read the mood. And moreover, why did they come if they were only going to be fighting?! A frustrated Takeo thinks.
“So what is your relationship?” Azuma unexpectedly asks Takeo as the four eat a small dinner of miso soup, grilled mackerel, and rice before they head to the baths.
“Sen and I are brothers,” Takeo answers after he finishes chewing.
“Brothers? You don't look alike. You live together too?”
“Yes, but we’re only brothers figuratively. We’re not really related, I’m an orphan. We were both raised by Hajime-san, Sen’s Omega dad.”
“Sorry, I didn’t know.”
“It’s fine,” Takeo smiles.
“Why are you asking anyway, are you interested in Takeo? Too bad he’s dating Sora,” Tsuyoshi interjects, teasing him and laughing.
Azuma blushes but, uncharacteristically, doesn’t retort to his comment.
Takeo and Tsuyoshi are in the baths soaking. Takeo is waiting for Sora to enter and Tsuyoshi is miffed after just having been riled up by the blunt Azuma a few minutes ago after dinner, his face underwater.
The two Omegas finally enter the baths, towels wrapped around their waists.
Sora's slim waist and slender midriff, porcelain white skin, and throat and neck are fully exposed. A ravishing sight.
Tsuyoshi was looking past Sora at Azuma though. Dark brown hair, light brown eyes, two beauty marks lined up vertically under his right eye, pale pink lips, tan skin, lean muscular body, and voluptuous pink nipples. He was aroused over an arrogant and outspoken Omega!
Takeo noticed as his friend started to shift around uncomfortably and knew what it meant because he too was experiencing this same reaction underwater. He definitely likes Azuma-kun.
The Omegas entered the steaming bath, unaware of the effects their exposed bodies were having on the Alphas.
“Ahhh, feels nice,” Sora moaned out and at that Takeo looked away for fear that Sora would notice his obvious erection.
Azuma entered and positioned himself across from Tsuyoshi. Tsuyoshi could not help himself as his eyes trailed down from Azuma’s succulent lips to his pink nipples, imagining himself playing with them in his mouth, licking and lightly biting, kissing those perfect lips… No No No. Don’t think about it! Sure his face and body are my type but his terrible personality!
“Oi, pervert. Are you okay?” Azuma asked, though not entirely too concerned. Tsuyoshi stared at his lips as he spoke, his bright red tongue…His lips look so soft. I wonder how they would feel… Tsuyoshi looked away from him.
Azuma noticed Tsuyoshi’s constant fidgeting and he turned a deep shade of red as he finally realized why Tsuyoshi looked uncomfortable. He got up to exit the baths, humiliated and nearly in tears at being sexually objectified.
“What an asshole! All he ever thinks about is sex!” he screamed.
“Azuma-chan! Wait, what’s wrong?!” Sora asked after him, totally clueless about Takeo who was in a similar position. “Maybe I should go check on him.”
“No. I’ll go, Sora. It’s my fault,” Tsuyoshi got up fast with his slowly receding semi-hard erection to chase after Azuma. Even though he is an arrogant and overconfident Omega, what I did was wrong. I should apologize.
He found Azuma in their shared room and the Omega was still red from the anger and embarrassment.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to look at you like that.”
“All you ever think about is sex, you animal! Why haven’t you noticed it yet! The person I like is you!” He started breaking down into tears.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because you only ever stare at my body! You never look at me as a person.” I hurt him. He teases me because he wants me to notice him. I should have noticed sooner that he likes me.
“I’m sorry.”
For the first time in his entire 21 years, Tsuyoshi was flustered and didn’t know how best to comfort someone who was crying. If Azuma were like any other person he fancied he would comfort him with his body. Kiss him until he stopped crying, after that gently spread him out on the bed and…
But Azuma wasn’t like all the rest, Tsuyoshi realized. To him, Azuma was an Omega that could easily tell someone off at their first meeting, speak openly about anything, and never held his opinions back, aggressive and dominating, just like Tsuyoshi liked.
“If you’re really sorry, then… "
“Then what? I’ll do anything.”
“Then take me out on a date!” Tsuyoshi’s heart skipped a beat.
“Okay. I’ll court you properly,” he said and smiled and finally Azuma stopped crying and quietly but adoringly muttered, “Idiot.”
Chapter Text“Where are you going, idiot? It’s saturday,” Takeo reminds Tsuyoshi whom he thinks forgot the day of the week, since he rarely woke up early.“A date.”“Huh?” The door closes as Takeo wonders who he has a date with. Maybe it’s… He heads back to the kitchen to finish making breakfast as joy blooms in his heart for his precious friend.Tsuyoshi walks up to Azuma who has his back turned to him.“Azuma.” He turns around. “Were you waiting long?” He asks, as he looks at Azuma’s immaculate clothes and his slightly exposed nape and gives a satisfied smile.“No.” Azuma looks over Tsuyoshi’s casual wear that suits him perfectly well.“Good. Shall we go?”They head to the amusement park. The crowd seems to be getting denser, more people shoving and pushing. Tsuyoshi grabs hold of Azuma’s hand, “Don’t get lost.”It’s obvious Azuma is happy at this but still shyly mutters back while blushing, “I’m not a kid.” Tsuyoshi chuckles.“What do you want to ride first?”Azuma looks around at
“Oi, what time do you think it is to be coming home?”Hearing Takeo’s voice upon his entrance into the house, Tsuyoshi finally slipped out of his love-filled daze. It wasn’t often that Takeo saw his friend so out of it. He had to take this rare opportunity to turn all of Tsuyoshi’s teasing back on him, a mischievous grin forming on his face.“Ah, so that’s it! Your date with Azuma-kun went well. Did you kiss him? Huh? Sen-chan, why are you so red? Are you blushing?! How cute, Sen-chan!” The two friends only added -chan to each other’s names when they were making fun of the other.“Don’t call me Sen-chan!”“Sorry, are you angry Sen-chan?” At that Tsuyoshi glared at him and playfully punched a widely grinning Takeo as he walked past him and went to his room to finally sleep after all of the night’s heart-racing events. His thoughts and dreams that night comprised entirely of Azuma Seimei.Two weeks after their first date, at the aquarium.Azuma is staring mesmerized at a tank of multi-c
Sora is in heat on Tsuyoshi’s bed, his pants flung off to the side of the bed. Tsuyoshi is above him, looking toward the door where Takeo and Azuma stand wearing similar expressions of anger, pain, and betrayal.Sora does not have the mental capacity as of yet to register what is happening due to the full force of his heat. Tsuyoshi sees Takeo’s face paint over red with a startling murderous glint in his eyes.Takeo the orphan who he’s known since they were in middle school. The lonely and unsociable Takeo who lived in the house of his uncle and aunt who hated him. Takeo, who he considered a brother, who he would never betray.Behind him, Azuma had tears dripping down his shocked face and he wasn’t even aware of it, that was the extent to which he felt betrayed. A lump caught in his throat as he tried to explain the situation but only stammered out incomplete words that refused to take shape.Takeo moved towards him with his teeth bared, a sign of Alpha aggression, and his fists curle
Tsuyoshi walked into the office happy but fatigued the next morning with dark bags under his eyes. He greeted all of his seniors loudly and enthusiastically until he got to a particular senpai: Kurokawa Maki. The man who seemed to have a sharp sixth sense…until that intuition fell flat.Tsuyoshi internally groans and mutters out a weak, “Good morning, Maki-san.”“Oh, mornin’. Tsuyoshi, What’s up with you today? You look extremely tired, got huge bags under them eyes of yours. But you’re also smiling. Hmm… my sixth sense tells me that you got some action last night!!”So far his intuition was correct, but he didn’t really need to shout it that loud. Now every group member will become interested and ask who he was, how he looked, and if he was a good lay.He didn’t want to divulge his love life to his senpai, but he would have no choice if they forced him to by using their higher standing o
“About yesterday… I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have doubted you as my friend and brother!” There, he manned up and said it.“It’s fine. It was in the heat of the moment, after all. So I won’t hold it against you.”Takeo let out a breath he hadn’t known he was holding at finally being forgiven and having his friend and brotherly figure back.“You should take a shower. You’re probably covered in sweat.” Tsuyoshi moved closer to him and played with a strand of his beautiful black hair."Your hair is growing out. You should trim it, you look like a player with this hair length.”He ignores the insult. “Since your hair is down right now, you like a lot more like Hajime-san like this,” he said as he smoothed down the loose strands of Tsuyoshi’s damp hair.Talking about Hajime wasn’t a taboo topic between them when considering that he lived a most
“Azuma-chan, wait!” Sora shouts as he sprints toward the walking Azuma after their classes are over, huffing and out of breath, dropping his books once he reaches the stopped figure.Azuma bends down to pick up his books for him. They haven’t spoken since the whole heat incident. Azuma stays silent.Sora catches the air back into his lungs and begins, “I’m sorry about what happened because of my heat. Tsuyoshi-san didn’t do anything, so if you’re angry at him, please don’t be because he wasn’t cheating on you.”“I already know. He explained what happened to me.”“Oh. Are you still mad at me?”Sora looks sad at being given the cold shoulder by his close friend. Azuma pinches the bridge of his hard.“I’m not mad. I’ll call you later today.” He smiles forgivingly at Sora then walks away.Azuma is at the group’s headquarters,
Tsuyoshi and Azuma are alone again tonight in Tsuyoshi’s room. A heavy silence looms over them but Tsuyoshi decides to stay silent until Azuma finds the words to speak.He did say he wanted to discuss something. I wonder what it is. Maybe he’s still pissed at me after all for the whole Sora incident? No, I already apologized and dispelled the misunderstanding. So then is he mad about something else?Tsuyoshi hears clothes rustling besides him and looks down to see a small key in Azuma’s hand. He looks up and sees the corresponding hole in Azuma’s collar.The key to his collar?“Sen-san… I want to give you the key to my collar so that you can…“ Azuma was tense and turning an intense shade of scarlet.Tsuyoshi knew what he was trying to say and therefore spared him from the embarrassment but his face’s shade was starting to imitate Azuma’s.Azuma wanted him to have t
Tsuyoshi and Takeo are doing patrols of their group’s turf and collecting money from shopkeepers and business owners a week later.As they walk side by side returning to the group’s headquarters before leaving for the day, Tsuyoshi asks, “How’s Sora?”Takeo, slightly caught off guard by the question answers, “He’s fine.”Tsuyoshi chuckles for a short while before his seriousness takes over, “Lately I’ve been thinking about Tou-san a lot. Do you still have nightmares too?”“Nightmares about Hajime-san? I have them sometimes. It must be because you are bonded now. You probably just miss him.”“I keep seeing his crying face in my dreams.”“Hajime-san… was happy most of his life. I’m sure if he was still here, he would've wanted you to be happy too.”
