“Come on, Mihyaaa! It’s nothing to try my culture at least once a week.” insisted the blue-haired Alpha, firmly holding the Omega’s hand and pulling him toward the Japanese restaurant. The Alpha’s eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and amusement, enjoying every second of his stubborn boyfriend’s resistance.
For him, these little couple battles had a charm he never imagined he would enjoy.
Michael resisted, leaning back as much as he could without letting go of his partner’s hand, who was laughing at his attempts. “I refuse! The last time I tried your food, I ended up sick for two weeks!” he replied indignantly, narrowing his eyes as he glanced distrustfully at the restaurant’s entrance.
The younger man let out a soft sigh and wrapped his arm around his boyfriend’s waist to keep him from escaping. “That was just bad luck, I promise.” he assured him with a mix of tenderness and mischief. “This time, you’ll love it. Trust me.”
The Omega sighed in resignation, rolling his eyes. “Fine, I’ll give it another shot,” he grumbled, giving in and following his boyfriend toward the restaurant. “One last chance!” he added, shooting him a warning glance.
The Alpha smiled, almost triumphantly. “Thank you, Micha. I love you.” he said. Unable to resist, he leaned in and kissed him. It was a soft kiss at first, just a brush of their lips, but when Kaiser responded, the spark between them ignited, and they deepened the kiss. Michael let himself get carried away for a moment but then, impulsively, lightly pushed him away and punched him in the stomach, making him stumble.
“Ouch!” he complained, clutching his abdomen and looking at him with amusement. The Omega, cheeks flushed, avoided his gaze.
“Don’t do silly things in public, you idiot.” he murmured, trying to sound annoyed, though the blush on his face betrayed him.
That blush on his cheeks lit a spark in the blue-eyed Alpha. He loved teasing his boyfriend like that. Let’s see how long it would take for him to explode. The German had a habit of playing heavy pranks, but once the Alpha did it, it wouldn't hurt anyone.
The younger man was aware that his boyfriend had little patience, but after exploding, he would become incredibly affectionate, and that filled him with tenderness.
He limited himself to hiding his mischievous smile, observing the nervousness and blush on his boyfriend’s face. “I’m proud to be with you, Micha. Not everyone can brag about dating a famous model.” Then he feigned a sad expression, lowering his gaze and sighing dramatically. “Oh… Could it be that you’re embarrassed of me, Michael? I get it… I’m a nobody compared to you.”
Kaiser blinked, looking at him with a mix of annoyance and frustration, his brow furrowing. “Are you an idiot?” he asked in a serious tone. “Don’t say stupid things. I’m not embarrassed of you.”
“Then kiss me.” challenged the Japanese man, still feigning a hurt expression. He was ready for the angry reaction from his Omega, who hated being forced to do things that made him uncomfortable. He closed his eyes, expecting the yelling, but all he could hear was the sound of cars passing by on the street. Maybe he should provoke him a little more? “I’m starting to think you don’t love me… Oh, Micha, why don’t you—”
Before he could continue with his feigned complaint, he felt Kaiser’s lips on his in a sudden, deep kiss. The Omega's hands encircled the Japanese man's face and neck, pulling him closer with determination. The Alpha barely had time to process the surprise before reciprocating, feeling the warmth of his Omega's hands and the taste of his mouth. With each passing second, the kiss became more passionate, deeper. When he felt Michael's tongue invading him, a spark of astonishment and desire coursed through his skin, and he couldn't help but hold him by the waist, drawing him closer.
After a few seconds, the Omega tried to pull away, gasping slightly as he took a breath. The younger man wanted to continue, to maintain that brief moment of provocation, but decided to leave it at that, watching Kaiser with a satisfied smile as they separated. The blue-eyed man kept his gaze, fascinated; he couldn't stop looking at the other's flushed face, the way his slightly parted lips sought air, and the faint thread of saliva that still connected them, a trace of that intimate kiss. His Omega was such a beautiful sight.
The German ran a hand over his face, trying to compose himself. Finally, he looked up and said, his voice trembling.
"Lis-listen to me carefully, idiot." He ordered, looking directly into his eyes. The firmness in his voice wavered slightly, betrayed by the intensity of his feelings. "I love you. I lo-love you so much that I'm afraid to feel something so strong for someone I've only known for three years." There was a vulnerability in his expression that only the Alpha had come to know. "That's why... Alpha, please, ne-never leave me. You swore love to me just over a year ago, and I did the same. Keep that pro-promise. It's my first time loving someone, I don't know exactly what I should do... But never doubt that I love you, please. I'm afraid of losing you."
After his last words, he buried his face in the shorter man's neck, seeking the familiar scent of his pheromones, a tranquility that only he could provide.
He wrapped his arms around the Omega, gently stroking his hair as he felt his boyfriend slightly inhale his scent in search of comfort. The Alpha could feel his heart beating rapidly, so strong that it was certain Kaiser could hear it too. His emotions overwhelmed him, a mix of love and a joy that coursed through his entire being.
He knew he was deeply in love with Michael Kaiser, with every part of him, even those insecurities he only revealed to him. He was certain he wanted nothing more in life than to be by his side.
Although at first he had refused to try something with him, and ignored his feelings, here he was, and he didn't regret it at all.
'Meeting him and falling in love with him was the best thing that ever happened to me.' he thought, closing his eyes as he enjoyed the closeness with his partner. 'Although, after my friends .' He chuckled mentally.
"Alpha..." murmured the Omega, his voice muffled against the younger man's skin. "You heard me, right? Don't make me repeat it."
The blue-haired man nodded, his words coming out almost in a whisper, as if he didn't want to break the magic of the moment. "I heard you."
The older man pulled away slightly and looked up, his blue eyes searching for him desperately, as if he feared not receiving the same intensity of love he had offered. "Do you still love me?" his voice was barely a thread when he continued asking; "Even if I don't know how to love properly... Even if I'll probably always be a bit shy with public displays... Even when you could find better Omegas than me?" His words seemed to contain a lump in his throat, a deep fear of not being enough.
The Alpha felt his chest tighten upon seeing his partner's state, and at that moment, he knew there was nothing he desired more in the world than to make him feel loved and safe. He gently took his Omega's face in his hands. "Michael Kaiser, I love you. Meeting you and being your Alpha makes me very happy, I want my future by your side. And I want it to be you, only you." He spoke firmly, and he felt his cheeks burn with nerves.
He knew the time had come to take another step, to let the person in front of him know that his feelings were forever. "Do you want to bear my mark?" he asked, feeling his heart beat rapidly. "Michael Kaiser, will you grant me the honor of letting me be your Alpha for this whole life?"
The German remained silent, his eyes shining as if he feared it was all a dream; he seemed unable to process the Alpha's words. His eyes filled with tears, and his voice trembled as he asked; "Are you... Are you serious?" His gaze sought confirmation on the Japanese man's face.
The blue-haired man nodded, his gaze firm but full of nerves. At that moment, the older man broke into tears, his tears running down his cheeks as a radiant smile appeared on his face. "Yes, yes I do... I want to be your Omega, Isagi Yoichi!"
They hugged tightly, and at that moment, everything around them ceased to exist. Isagi felt that the whole world focused on the warmth of that embrace, on the sensation of having Kaiser so close, knowing that from that declaration, their lives would be united in an unbreakable way. And at that instant, Isagi knew there was nothing more important in his life than Michael's happiness. They were surrounded by passersby who, unknowingly, witnessed the moment when two people promised to spend a life together.
