Chapter 2 (The brooch)

It was a pleasant day, with a clear climate and a comforting temperature, it was not too hot or too cold. People passed from side to side busy in their affairs, it was early in the morning, so most would be heading to their respective jobs, schools or shops. That florist was in a fairly central location, many of the people who passed by, could not help stopping for a moment to admire the beautiful flowers that were displayed at the entrance of the premises. Inside, Mr. Shiroi was attending to a small client, a high school girl who was waiting impatiently while the vendor finished making the order she had placed.

- Very well, I will put an extra pair of these flowers. Courtesy of the house - Mr. Shiroi said while preparing a beautiful flower arrangement for the girl - These are your mother's favorite flowers right?

- Yes! - The girl answers enthusiastically - Those were the flowers that my father used to give my mom on her birthday.

- Really? In that case I will add a couple more.

In the surroundings, was the little Norio with a broom in his hands sweeping every corner of the premises, he was a quite hard-working and efficient boy, capable of doing anything to make his boss proud. Norio carefully observed Mr. Shiroi's behavior, the way he treated his clients always turned out to be pleasant, no matter what personal problems he was facing, his personality before the clients was always the same, kind, attentive and cheerful.

- And to finish - Mr. Shiroi continued describing - we will add a nice red bow here. How about?

- Ah! It is so beautiful - exclaimed the girl completely satisfied with the result - Thank you very much, Mr. Shiroi, I know that mom would love it.

The girl takes the flower arrangement very delicately to avoid an accident that could ruin it, and after giving thanks a second time, she runs off with the typical energy of a girl her age.

- Carefully! Don't stumble - says Mr. Shiroi as he watches his little client go - And say happy birthday to your mom for me.

- Ah ... there is no doubt that you are very good with children, Mr. Shiroi - Norio says, approaching Mr. Shiroi - But I suppose that is normal with all your experience.

- So you think? - It is the only thing that Mr. Shiroi says when hearing those words.

Shiroi's gaze became somewhat subdued, he no longer said a word and simply devoted himself to cleaning the counter that I use to make the flower arrangement. A worrying silence filled the atmosphere.

- By the way, Mr. Shiroi - The little chatterbox breaks the silence - I can't stop thinking about that story. I want to hear the continuation. Whose scent was that?

- Oh ... I forgot that I had told you those things - Shiroi answers.

- Please Mr. Shiroi - Norio pleaded.

- Yes ... after all I promised you, right little Norio? - Then Mr. Shiroi began his story while continuing to clean the counter.

After that incident, many things changed in my life. Once again, everything I had planned meant nothing, I had to start thinking and planning everything from the beginning. At that point in my life I was already beginning to question many things and I kept asking myself many more.

- What's the point of planning your life? If something can happen in a matter of seconds that completely destroys all your effort.

Despite my unanswered questions and unknowns, the reality was now. The past is impossible to modify and I only have the only alternative to adapt to what happened. Now I had to be extremely careful, the results of my gender exam had not been enough to realize the 360 turn of my life, I still had not understood what being an Omega meant. Although it is true that the future is unpredictable, the truth is that the life of an Omega will always bring the same difficulties.

Alphas were something I had to get used to evading as best I could. From now on, I had to take days off from high school and work to keep myself safe during my zeal, that was something that the teachers did not care about and they would not postpone exams or classes for me, probably the owner of the store where I worked I would deduct the days off from my salary and in the institute I would begin to receive mistreatment by those who repudiate Omegas or harassment by the opposite case.

For whatever reason, the inhibitors I had been prescribed were more expensive than normal, my pheromones displayed aggressive behavior that could easily undermine my safety. My pheromones could be detected by alphas without even being on zeal, so the inhibitors I had to take were not just for the zeal moment. Any indication that the presence of an Alpha nearby that is being aggressively affected by my pheromones is a sign that I should inject the inhibitors.

I just kept asking more and more questions. I did not understand the reason for everything that was happening to me. But it was not reason enough to bend; each obstacle was faced with the greatest strength possible. I was not going to let myself be defeated by a bad streak of events against me, no matter how personal each new thing that felt.

The most significant thing for me was the necklace. Now I was to wear a black leather collar around my neck, secured with a padlock and keeping the key as secure as possible. It was something so striking, that now anyone could know my second gender. It was uncomfortable and annoying to use, itchy, and the friction occasionally caused redness and slight burns to the area. But I didn't care, I still made sure to use it at all times. The last thing he wanted was to be killed by some runaway animal.

The new necklace on my neck would now be the main cause of many awkward situations. All kinds of proposals and confessions came daily. Alphas and Betas came to me with the intention of getting to go out with me, some were kind, others were demanding and others were complete imbeciles. But no matter whom it was, I simply rejected them in the coldest and most direct way.

However, one of those awkward situations stood out from all the others. That boy, whose name or face I have completely forgotten, followed me to the corner of the stairs on the third floor. A secluded and dark place, with no possibility of interruptions or unwanted spectators.

- You know? - The boy said - I've been watching you for a while ... and I think...

He was annoying; his way of speaking bothered me, his way of looking at me bothered me, his stuttering, the restlessness of his hands and his hidden intentions. Everything was disgusting to me.

- You are so beautiful! - He finally said after so many detours - I, actually, am Beta, did you know? So if you go out with me you will have no problem with ... that.

- "That?" - I thought.

His intentions were increasingly clear to me. He was just a filthy Beta looking for a submissive Omega to have some fun with. I had already witnessed all kinds of proposals, and that Beta's was not really new.

- So, please go out with me! - The Beta said taking a step towards me.

- STAY AWAY!! - I screamed.

The boy's expression changed completely, so much so that I could clearly see the disappointment in his gaze. He go back a step and remain silent, fortunately my abrupt personality and my temper were enough to drive away the vast majority, especially dumb like that Beta.

While that boy was trembling with nerves from the aggressive rejection they had just given him, I just kept staring at him with my eyes wide open and my eyebrows completely furrowed. Maybe that look made him more nervous, since he avoided looking directly at me from that moment, I just wanted him to get out of the way and let me continue with my things. But that idiot just stood there in front of me, still stammering, avoiding direct contact with my gaze and sweating more and more.

Just as I had decided to just ignore him and walk past him to continue on my way, I saw a little blue butterfly fly in front of my eyes. The shock was instantaneous, my heart already knew what it was and without my permission, it began to beat more and more strongly. Then, I could feel how that aroma enveloped me completely in an instant, every part of my being was alerted, the mysterious aroma was driving me crazy again, my zeal had recently ended, but I could still feel it coming back. My body yearned for it, I turned my gaze and there were more butterflies coming from a door on the right, I ran and stopped in front of that corridor, completely flooded by the same essence that smelled of beautiful blue butterflies. I kept running down that hallway, so desperately that it looked like I might die if I didn't reach it. At the end of the hall, the butterflies came from the right, another hall. Finally, after running like never before, there he was, crossing to the right, entering one of the classrooms on the third floor. The person who emitted the aroma that my body loved so much.

His hair was blonde and thick, which appeared to be unruly and tousled hair, he wore the formal uniform and his height was quite tall. A flash stood out on him, coming from the collar of his shirt, his brooch. That was the only thing I could see before he fully entered the room.

I wanted to shout "WAIT" with all my strength, I wanted to run after him and hold on tight to his body, my longings were getting stronger as well as the constant "Ba-dum" that my heart produced. But my breathing was so shaky that it was impossible for me to say a single word. My body felt more and more weakened, my legs stopped working; the heat of my body did nothing but increase and those sensations in my back that caused inappropriate desires for the place. My zeal had gotten even worse than before. And without being able to do anything, I just lost sight of him.

I was found by a safe person and taken to the hospital. The doctor spent the entire consultation just lecturing me for my carelessness.

- This is so typical of useless Omegas, they only serve to give problems - The doctor said, and I could not help remembering my father.

I was injected with a strong suppressor that was able to nullify the zeal that was not triggered by the cycle and I returned home to rest.

- What?!! - Said little Norio a little disappointed - Was that all that happened? But you were so close, Mr. Shiroi.

Mr. Shiroi had already finished cleaning everything and finished the arrangements that had been entrusted to them. It was after 2 in the afternoon and the closing time was approaching. He took off his apron and headed to the back of the store, a small room with lockers on the right, a bathroom on the left, a large table with four hooks in the center, and a large window that covered almost the entire front wall. Shiroi opened the first locker and placed his apron inside.

- It's all the fault of the annoying zeal - Norio continued saying that he kept following the movements of Mr. Shiroi - sometimes I think he does it on purpose and comes at the most inopportune moment.

- But - Says Mr. Shiroi fixing his newly put on clothes after changing his work uniform - On that occasion I learned something important from him.

Norio's eyes flashed, waiting impatiently for what Mr. Shiroi had learned, as if it were a person watching his favorite soap opera in a climactic moment.

- Right here - continues Mr. Shiroi while pointing his index finger at the collar of his shirt - I could see his brooch. A "I" brooch, so I knew right away that he was from a freshman class.

- Really?! - Norio yells with excitement - So does that mean then you went to look for him and talk to him to explain things and be happy forever?

- That means ... - Shiroi says after laughing with the comment of her little employee - ... That I must go or I'll be late to kindergarten.

- Huh? It’s true ... I had forgotten.

- I order the store, Norio - Says Mr. Shiroi ready to leave.

- Yes sir! I'll take care of everything, sir! - Exclaims Norio with a firm salute to the flag as if it were a soldier - I hope you come home safely sir!

Then Shiroi once again leaves the store on his way to his destination, while little Norio would take care of all the preparations for the closing of the store.
