The bathroom floor was cool against Bikey’s naked skin. Every time he moved his head the off-white tiles started spinning. But if he remained still, it was surprising relaxing.

Maybe this was a whole new meditation avenue that was currently unexplored.

Maybe all the worries of the world could be solved if people just spent more time laying on bathroom floors.

He wouldn’t have to waste his life on sports anymore to try and prove to his parents he was as good as an alpha. Mammy would be so proud of him. Alphas would be desperate for his attention. Important people would give him important prizes. Children would give him flower garlands. Babies would be named after him. Everyone would bless his name for waking the world up to Bikey’s Bathroom Relaxation…

He needed to think of another ‘B’ word otherwise it wouldn’t work. Alliteration was essential for people to embrace a new concept. He needed to think fast because people were going mad with worry because Bikey hadn’t yet told the world about laying on bathroom floors. This new knowledge he had was a big responsibility, all of the world's happiness was reliant on him spreading the word.

‘Are you ready to move?’ A deep sexy voice said from above him.

Bikey turned his head slowly to look upwards into an incredibly handsome face with the most gorgeous cheekbones it was possible for a mortal to possess. That face had a name. He blinked several times. Aki. He suddenly remembered why he was here. Saving the world from stress could wait until tomorrow.

‘I’m ready for a threesome,’ Bikey croaked.

He aimed to get up on his knees and get to work on Aki. His stomach lurched. Aki moved with a quickness that indicated he was expecting this to happen. The alpha half pushed, half supported him, so his head was over the toilet bowl. Just in time before he vomited.

Aki tended him efficiently, seeming to foresee his every need. There was water held to his lips. A toothbrush to freshen up. Mouthwash to swirl. A flannel at the perfect temperature with the exactly right amount of moisture. His favourite blue silk pyjamas; Bikey tried to do the buttons himself in a sensual manner, though he was vaguely confused as to why he was putting clothes on when Aki should be stripping? But Aki immediately brushed his hands away and took over.

Even though his body felt fatigued, Bikey tried to recapture the earlier mood with seductive remarks.

‘Do you know how hot you are? You’re really really hot,’ he said sultrily. ‘I bet you look even really really hotter when you’re naked.’

Aki ignored him, manoeuvring him like a nurse dealing with an annoying patient. And not a sexy fantasy fun type of nurse, but a real nurse. Aki was the type of nurse who told you it’d hurt when giving you a jab and never gave you a sweet afterwards for being brave.

He might of fallen asleep. Because when he opened his eyes he was being tucked into Hairy’s bed. By Aki.

‘Hairy?’ Bikey asked. His throat hurt and in sharp contrast to earlier, now words had become painful and difficult to form.

‘He’s in my bedroom,’ Aki replied. ‘I’ll stay here with you to make sure you don’t choke in your sleep. And I will stop you if you believe that you have beta superpowers and can fly again.’

‘I don’t remember that,’ Bikey said slowly.

‘I suspect it’s better that way.’

Bikey tried to think of something suggestive to say, maybe it wasn’t too late to turn this situation around? After all he was alone in a bedroom with a gorgeous alpha. He looked up into Aki dark beautiful eyes.

He could only manage one word. ‘Sorry.’

‘Don’t apologise. It’s me who is sorry. I should have been more thoughtful to how the alcohol would affect you. Sometimes when Hairy and I are together we…’ Aki shook his head. ‘Never mind. I’m afraid you’re going to have a bad hangover tomorrow. Close your eyes. Consider your parents’ advice not to attempt a sexual liaison with a potential team mate. I understand that you think you have no chance of passing whatever test the university give you, so you believe you may as well have fun before you get sent home. But you being here is an opportunity that no other beta has. Even if it seems hopeless, you have to try your best. Hairy will be better as your trainer than as a one-night stand. Think on it more in the morning. Sleep now.’

It wasn’t the type of order he wanted an alpha to be giving him, but his body immediately obeyed, and instead of coming up with the magic words that would seduce Aki he was snoring.
