We eat and drink cheerfully. Most of them have started to get drunk, except for three persons, including me.
“So, is he an Omega, Iori-san?” Makio asked me while pouring my empty glass.
“Yes, he’s a Recessive Omega.”
“Hmm, are you sure there’s nothing going on between you both, Iori-san?” Another Alpha besides me, Akira Murata.
My stomach is started to hurt. I know for sure it’s because I’ve barely eating today, and instead of having a proper meal, I ate junk foods and alcohols instead. Moreover, it’s been such a long time since the last time I had a drink.
“… Nah, he’s only my friend. More importantly, is it normal for an Omega to asleep all day long after they spent a heat cycle and took a suppressant?”
Makio and Akira are looking at each other. They seemed to confuse.
“Is it your first time seeing an Omega in heat, Iori-san?”
Crap! Of course, they suspected me!
“Err … Yeah, I guess? I actually was a hikikomori for quite a long time. I barely met people, let alone an Omega, and he’s my first friend.”
Luckily, they believed my awkward answer.
“Ehh, it’s unexpected for an Alpha to become a hikikomori. Well, to answer your question, yes, it’s normal. Don’t worry about it. Moreover, since he took a suppressant, it’d make him sleepier.”
I sighed a relief.
“Then, did both of you spent the time together when he was in heat, Iori-san?” Makio smirked at me.
I fell silent, didn’t want to answer it.
Ten minutes later, after we finished our drinks, we agreed to go home. We brought the drunk ones into a taxi first, then Makio accompanied them. Now, it’s only Akira and I.
“Well, then, see you at work, Akira-san. Thank you for your information earlier.”
I walked ahead of him, but after two steps, he made me stopped walking.
“Iori-san, if both of you really are nothing, then … how about you let me have him?”
I turned back my head and clenched my fists. I can see the annoying smile on his face.
“Whoops, hold on, hold your golden eye, Iori-san. Wouldn’t your Omega be scared of it if you come home like this?”
I loosened up my fists. This bastard is right, indeed.
“I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear it, Akira-san.” I ignored him and just walked by.
It’s already late, Riku must’ve been asleep. My head hurts because of the alcohols and my stomach worsened it. I better walk fast to get home.
I finally arrived at home after minutes later. It’s so much tiring, not gonna lie. I opened the door while still panting, and the view in front me right now makes me hold my breath.
“Riku? I told you not to wait for me, why are you sleeping here instead?”
Riku is asleep on the couch, and he covered his whole body in my clothes. Did he take out the entire wardrobe and brought it here? But why?
“Oh, Iori … welcome back.” He rubbed his eyes and yawning.
I’m picking up my clothes that are still covering him, but he grabbed my hand.
“Don’t touch! I’ll return it when I get enough of it!” He hugged all of my clothes and glared at me.
I sighed. “The owner’s already here, right? Moreover, if you take it all, what can I wear for work tomorrow?”
He’s still pouting. “But you weren’t here this morning. This afternoon, too, I’ve waited for you. The only thing that’s filled with your scent is your clothes, so I took it all here.”
I pulled him onto my lap and embraced him, but he pinched his nose instead.
“You reek of alcohol!”
He slapped my face several times until I let him go. It stings, really.
“Go shower and come right away to my room!” Riku picked up all of my clothes and hugged it with him. Then, he walked upstairs, ignoring me.
Sigh
Is this how it feels to accompany an Omega in heat? I think he’s like a woman in her period.
The good thing is, he might not remember about yesterday, so I don’t have to feel awkward around him.
“Riku, have you eaten?”
I came into his room as soon as I finished showering. I see him choosing my clothes, sorting it all.
“Yeah, in the afternoon. I don’t have appetite, so I don’t eat any in morning and evening.” He handed me my formal clothes, and puts the rest inside the blanket.
“I’ll make you something. Let’s go to eat.” I accepted it and planned to go down to the kitchen, but he pulled my shirt.
“Noo, don’t go! I don’t want to eat, I want us to sleep together!”
This is the first time I see him whining.
“You didn’t bring your lunchbox today, right? And you still went to drink despite knowing that! You really are a stupid, you know!” Now, he started to cry.
I tried to calm him by releasing my pheromones. I pulled him into my arms and stroked his hair.
“I’m sorry, I know I was wrong. Actually, my stomach hurts since earlier, that’s why I was planning to cook something.”
Riku wiped his tears. “I’ll cook.”
Knowing his current emotions, he might get mad again if I try to stop him, so I’ll just let him do what he wants for the times being.
I sat quietly on the dining room while waiting for Riku to finish his meals. I killed the time with texting Yato, asking him all about Riku’s behavior today.
Hahaha, it’s funny, right? I also have a hard time whenever my boyfriend was in heat. About your clothes, just let it go. He’ll pick it again when he’s in heat anyway, so just take it from him after his cycle’s done.
Sigh
“How’s your stomach?”
Riku approached me with two plates on his hands. He sat on the chair in front of me and started to eat.
“It’s fine. Thank you for worrying.” I smiled.
He’s blushing, then eating his food quickly. “Don’t get the wrong idea, you brat!”
His leg is kicking mine, but I can easily dodge it.
“How’s first day of work?”
After we're done, Riku placed the empty plates in the sink. When I stood up and planned to help him, he glared at me as if telling me to just sit down.
“Well … my team is good. They’re kind and helped me much, but too noisy. It’s dominated by Betas and Omegas, and has only two Alphas, including me.”
“Ehh … that sounds fun, and you guys just had a drink to welcome you. I guess they’re indeed so kind.” He’s already finished the dishes and now is walking towards me. “How about your boss?”
“Ah, it’s quite a shocking, Riku! Listen to me!” I pulled him onto my lap and make him face me. “This is crazy! I’ve never thought I’d meet someone whom I know! It means that she was also reincarnated, right? Just like me!”
Riku frowned. “She?”
I nodded. “She’s now the leader of my team, Makio Shizuku. She had died two years ago. Luckily, she doesn’t remember her past life. She’s totally a new person here, as a Beta, but her character still remains the same.”
Riku lowered his head. His fingers are playing with the bottom of my shirt. “You seem to know her well.”
I smiled. “Well … actually, she’s my ex.”
