Early in the morning, that flower shop had just opened its doors to customers. Mr. Shiroi was inside, wearing his white uniform, his checkered apron and his scarf around his neck. The flowers outside had already been placed in their display site and watered properly, now it was the turn of the small flowers inside the room.

- Mr. Shiroi! - The little Norio who was just entering the store says happily and very enthusiastically - Look, I bought this when I came here. Tasty Choco-Bolos.

Norio was holding a box of sweets with both hands. The box contained some popular spherical chocolates, filled with different flavors, in this case, chocolate spheres filled with chocolate.

- Welcome - Mr. Shiroi answers - Do you like those sweets?

- I LOVE!!! - Expresses Norio completely excited - Well, hehe. I actually like all sweets of all kinds.

Norio approaches Mr. Shiroi next to the main counter of the store, he opens the box of chocolates and reveals three rows of large chocolate spheres. Then he extends his arms in front of Mr. Shiroi while holding the box of sweets.

- Take what you want, sir - Norio says with a huge smile on his face.

- Oh thank you very much - Shiroi answers - At the moment I will only take one. I need some help here, go change your clothes and on the way offer Takato your sweets.

- Huh? - Norio reacts - Is Takato here today?

- That's right - Mr. Shiroi replies - He's in the break room, he came here before going to school. Go and say hello.

- In ... In that case - Said the little boy, considerably lowering his enthusiasm.

Norio turned his outstretched hands toward him and thought for a moment. His face had become completely flushed and his eyes were brighter than ever. He looked at the box of chocolates he was holding in his hands and finally his face showed a slight smile.

- I'll be right back Mr. Shiroi! - Norio said and ran with all his might towards the break room.

- Don't be late! - Mister Shiroi exclaimed before losing sight of him.

Mr. Shiroi was alone in the store again. He didn't say a word and didn't go back to the activities he was doing before little Norio arrived with his candy. The smile he was showing Norio quickly disappeared when he was alone, his face was serious and low. Slowly he raised his left hand to bring it up to his chest, in that hand he held the small chocolate sphere that Norio had offered him. He contemplated it for a few seconds until he finally closed his hand, trapping the candy inside his fist.

- How long has it been since the last time I had seen this candy? - Mr. Shiroi said to himself while holding the chocolate in his fist - How long has it been since the first time this sweet began to make a noticeable impact on my life?

That time, I was working in a store that opened 24/7. My work schedule was completely nocturnal, starting from 10 at night and ending at 5 in the morning, hardly leaving me time to prepare for going to school. That night, it was my turn to restock the shelves of the items that were sold.

- SHIII - ROOOO - IIIII! - Said that annoying subject with his annoying voice.

I ignored him and I continued with my work, I had a huge shopping cart full of all kinds of products that I had to put on the shelves. I was holding with the help of my arms and my chest, a large number of small bags of some kind of goodies. I was never a candy lover and rarely ate anything sweet, so my knowledge of various types of candy and their names was very limited. I remember that the whole hallway was full of all kinds of sweets, but at that time I did not know any of that and all those names were unnecessary to remember.

- My cute little Shiroi, where are you? - That guy continued saying - Hey, are you listening to me? Answer damn it!

No matter how insistent he was and how loud he called my name, I would not answer him. That boy was my co-worker; he is a university student who used the night to work, which resulted in us meeting most of the time at work..

- Here you are! - My co-worker says when he finally reaches the hall where I was standing - What are you doing my little Shiroi?

- Working - I answered slightly.

- Do you order the shelves? That seems so boring - He said standing just behind me - Why don't you better leave that and come to the cash register with me?

- No - I answered.

His scent began to invade the entire hallway, he stayed behind me but I could feel his chest rose against my back. My coworker was an Alpha, and my boss didn't mind assigning the same times to an Omega and an Alpha. Maybe he did it with the intention that something bad would happen to me and in this way he could blame me for everything and have a valid excuse to unemployed me.

- Why are you always like this? - He says, whispering behind me - We spend a lot of time here, just you and me. Customers never come, so we won't be interrupted.

Its scent was getting stronger; it was an orange scent, bright and light as the wind. His height was superior, about two meters probably. I was completely cornered by him. His hand was on mine, which in turn held a candy in the air, waiting to be placed on the shelf along with other sweets of its kind. Then, he snatched that treat from my hand, placed it back in the shopping cart, and turned me around.

- What do you think my beautiful Shiroi? - He says, very close to me, with his left hand resting on the shelf and his right hand running across my cheek - Would you like us to do more than just dedicate ourselves to stupid work?

- Enough - I said, staring at him as I always look at those who disliked me - Your pheromones suck.

- What did you say? - The boy reacted negatively - Damn Omega.

I shook off his grip and took several goodies out of the cart to continue restocking the shelves, while that fool continued to be outraged at the failure of his harassment.

- My pheromones are irresistible! - He continued saying - Do you know how many Omegas I have conquered thanks to my powerful essence? Any Omega who senses just a little bit of my scent would be totally stunned!

My annoyed co-worker just kept saying stupid things with exaltation and a loud tone of voice. Something common in my nights of work.

-You! - He exclaimed - Surely you are not a real Omega. Are you a Beta posing as Omega so that everyone has compassion for you? You're so fake! That necklace on your neck is a total hoax! There is no way for an Omega to resist my pheromones! Unless…!

Finally I stop talking and a pleasant silence was the only thing I could hear. I sighed, taking advantage and enjoying the moment, because I knew that at any moment the scandal would return.

- Could it be you are a...? - He said in a low voice and surprisingly calm - Are you a domina...?

- Hello?! - A female voice was heard coming from the cash register - Is anyone here?!

- A client - I said to him - Go and do your job.

- Tks! - It was heard from him - Damn it, don't think you were saved! WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THIS AFTER!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!!!

Until finally my co-worker went to the cash register to attend to the client and I was able to be alone and at peace to be able to continue with my work without scandals or annoying distractions.

- Welcome! How can I help you precious? - I heard him say in the distance while attending to the girl.

- I want a box of Choco Balls, - she said bluntly.

- Of course! Its are in hall 7 - He replied - Can I bring it for you, beautiful? I could even...

- No thanks - she said.

I clearly heard her carved footsteps approach me. The girl was looking for chocolates from the candy section where I was organizing the shelves. Finally she reached the hallway and started walking slowly as she looked at each product on the shelves, searching.

- Where are those stupid chocolates? - She wondered, right behind me.

Without intending to search for the sweets for her, I noticed that in my hands was a box of the mentioned Choco Balls. So, I turned around and extended my hand holding the box of chocolates in front of her.

- Here, - I said.

- Eh? - It was the only thing she said.

- Is this what you're looking for? - I asked, to make sure I wasn't wrong.

- Oh yes - Finally she confirmed and took the sweets - Thank you.

I stared at her for an instant; I had a strong feeling of familiarity when I saw her. She was very beautiful; her eyes were pink, large and perfectly outlined. Her hair was quite long with a striking red color. She wore a rather short off-the-shoulder dress and a pink necklace around her neck with a heart-shaped charm decorating it. Her shoulders were wrapped in a large jacket that was obviously not her size, probably someone greater than she had offered it to her to cover her from the cold night. I finally stopped wasting time remembering where I had seen her and just turned around and continued my work.

What is this? - She said - Are you an Omega?

I instantly turned to look at her with my enraged eyes. I was used to the fact that every time someone mentioned that I was an Omega, it was hints that I would be judged for it and it seemed that this would be no exception.

- Since when can an Omega go so freely without surveillance? - She continued - Do you even let them work in places like this so easily? That is so inappropriate.

- You are too - I replied - You are also free to go wherever you want without any kind of surveillance. Do you want to be deprived of that freedom just for being an Omega?

- Huh? An Omega? Me? - She asked strangely, it was supposed to be clearer for her than for any other - Yes, hehe. You're right. Thanks for noticing.

Her hypocritical smile was clearly a fake, she was an attempt to look cute and adorable, but her eyes expressed every malicious thing her heart thought. Suddenly her expression changed and the environment became heavy and tense.

- But don't you dare compare my superiority with an Omega as ordinary as you - Her false smile was gone - What horror! Someone as majestic as I am, being compared to this thing. Oh how humiliating.

She turns around, tossing her long hair and carrying the box of chocolates with her. Then, a beautiful light blue butterfly flew from her back towards me, until it finally landed on my right shoulder.

- * I knew I'd seen her before * - I thought, as the butterfly rested on my shoulder and I fought against my instincts.

The scent enveloped her, just like the time I met her in high school. I thought that maybe that huge jacket belonged to that boy; his scent would be totally impregnated in that jacket. I had a strong desire to snatch it from her and run from there with that jacket in my hands, but that would be totally inappropriate, and would be proving that everything they say about the Omegas was true.

-Thanks for the chocolates! - She said to me before leaving the hallway - These are my beloved's favorite sweets. I'm sure that with this, his bad mood would pass.

She finally left the hall. My breathing was beginning to be shaky and my temperature was rising higher and higher. That beautiful butterfly seemed so comfortable on my shoulder, that it was not aware of the effects it was causing me, I was not even sure if it was a real butterfly, or a product of my imagination due to the symptoms of my zeal.

- I'll take this - I heard her say in the distance - How much is it? Here, thanks.

- Hey beautiful, why are you in such a hurry? - Says my coworker, while I could feel her orange essence come out again - Don't you want to stay a while longer? I assure you that we will have a good time.

- No thanks honey, I'm with my boyfriend - she replied coldly - Also, your pheromones suck.

- WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!! - He shouted - DAMN OMEGAS!!!

The orange scent of my stupid coworker helped me calm down a bit, the blue butterfly had disappeared and I could no longer perceive the aroma that affected me so much. Then I went to the shopping cart and tried to continue my work.

- Look what I buy you my love! - She said in the distance, I could barely hear her; I noticed that she was leaving the store - Your favorite chocolates!

- It wasn't necessary - I heard, from an unknown male voice.

- * That voice * - I thought, as I turned towards the sound.

I quickly ran out of the hall, where I could see the store's main entrance in the distance. My heart was beating like crazy, I had a heavy weight on my chest and my throat was completely filled with an uncomfortable lump.

-I just want you to stop being so depressed - she said, standing outside the store with the front door still open.

- But - the male voice said again - Buy this. It wasn't necessary.

I could clearly see the girl, since the door was still open, but her companion was outside, the windows were foggy and it was dark enough to only see a tall male silhouette.

- His voice - I said in a low voice, as that couple left the store completely.

I couldn't move, much less run towards him. Whenever that scent appeared, my body refused to obey me.

- Excuse me boy - I heard from a sweet voice to my right - Could you help me with something?

It was a sweet old lady who required my help. I just looked at her and without being able to say anything; my tears began to flow inconsolably. Granny soon showed a worried face, as there was a person crying for no apparent reason in front of her. I tried to dry my tears desperately these came out again incessantly. I did not know what to do, I did not understand the reason for my tears, I did not understand that strange feeling in my heart. It is not zeal, it was something else, something that was completely unknown, but it hurt.

The granny, without saying anything, smiled sweetly and took a beautiful flower from her basket. Then she held it out in front of me, maybe to show me how beautiful it was, or she wanted to offer it to me to calm my tears. In either case, I held the beautiful flower, brought it close to my nose and perceived its pleasant aroma. It was a familiar scent. My tears stopped flowing and the granny stayed by my side until she considered that I had calmed down enough.
