Two years ago...
"Say Mii, do you remember when I told you about how alpha-omega are fated is crap?" Nobuaki said then I nodded. "I think I was wrong, I feel like Yoru is my fated omega, I feel so happy, I'm thinking of pairing up with him."
"... Oh... Is that so?" I said as try to hold back my tears, guess I really have no chance with Nobu, this love is too painful, I want to give it up, alpha belongs with their omega-fated pair while betas pair up with one other. I felt so humiliated, I thought since he doesn't believe in such things he might come to love me one day.
"What do you think? Should I pair up with him?" Nobuaki asked then I looked at him horrified. No! No! Don't! Choose me, be with me!
"Yoru might not admit it but he loves you a lot Nobu and you feel the same, I think you should ask this question to him instead of me." I said then pointed out at Yoru who just arrived in the classroom. Nobuaki stood up and then hugged him tightly.
"W-Wha...?! L-Let go you pervert, p-people are staring!" Yoru shouted as he tried to push Nobuaki away from him. I'm so jealous, I wish Nobuaki would hold me in those arms.

Takuya POV.
After I dropped Mikito off I went back home, it was so late that Pluto was asleep. I sat on the couch taking the day in. I closed my eyes then I shook my head. I think I might have feelings for Mikito. He is cute, honest, shy, caring, and gentle. Every moment I spend with him makes me happy. I can't believe I was so desperate to stay with him that I took him to my secret spot. Not even Ayako (my best friend) knows about it.
I am glad we made plans for next week, Saturday, please come soon! I want to spend more time with my beloved beta!

Mikito POV.
I went to school for my classes and then met up with Erika in the cafeteria, Yuri joined us when he spotted us. "Hey there my cuties."
"Hiya Yuri." Erika said.
"Hello." I greeted him.
"Ugh... Professor Erwin is killing me with all these unending assignments."
"Been there last semester." Erika said.
"But most importantly listen! My friend is hiding his love interest from me!"
"Oh? Is he the straight one?" Erika asked.
"Yea, him! Apparently, he is so gay for this beta guy, but he won't tell me any more details other than that he is a college student."
"Wait, didn't you just say he is straight?" I asked.
"Yes, but like this beta guy somehow made him gay, which makes me more curious about his identity! And like my friend is so hot he can get any woman, but he is so into him, though he is in denial."
"Sounds scandalous, is the beta a model?" Erika asked.
"Oh no, he is someone normal." Yuri rolled his eyes. "They make plans all the time and he won't shut up about him, and like it is so obvious that he is in love."
"Maybe he dated a lot of women that's why he needs more time to process that he might also like guys." I said.
"Maybe you're right, I think I should let him process it." Yuri's phone rang then he lifted his eyebrows. "Speaking of the devil, I need to take that." Yuri got up and left to take his call. We're used to Yuri not giving out the names of his friends to protect their privacy, that's why Erika and I didn't ask who.
"So, how did your date go? The one you were late for?"
"I told you it was not a date, we're not like that. I was late, but he was waiting for me, we shopped, dined, went to a place, and then had a heart-to-heart talk." I said.
"So much for 'not a date' because you literally just described one."
"What we have is deeper than a silly date, we're great friends."
"So... Are you going to introduce us?"
"I can't... I promised to keep his privacy."
"Ugh, you're just like Yuri now."
"I promise I will introduce you once he's ready." Erika smiled and then ruffled my hair.
"Of course you will, we're best friends after all."
"Yeah, we are!"
"Sorry guys, he needs to meet up with me, sounds serious." Yuri said.
"Alright." Erika said.
"Be careful on your way." I said.

Takuya POV.
I waited at my place for Yuri to come over. I needed to confide to him about it, he is the only one I can talk to since Ayako is busy with her affairs.
Someone rang the bell, it was probably Yuri. I opened the door and as expected, it was him. "Come in." I invited him and Pluto barked happily for him.
"Hey there buddy, who's the good boy?" Pluto barked as though to say 'it is me!'
"So..." Yuri trailed off then eyed me from head to toe. "Ready to admit you're gay?"
"I'm not gay!" I retaliated and then massaged my forehead. "I'm really confused, he confuses me, I admit that."
"Am I gonna get a name?"
"Don't even try."
"Guess this man is special." We both went to the living room.
"Do you want something to drink?"
"cafe au lait."
"Ah sorry, I only have black coffee."
"Ugh, then iced coffee."
"Coming right up." I went to the kitchen and prepared iced coffee for him. "Here you go."
"Thanks love." I handed the coffee to him. "Alright explain, how do you feel?"
"So we went on a date, we went shopping and everything was great until he took me to the restaurant he frequents with his sisters."
"What happened?" Yuri asked then took a sip of his drink.
"There was that waiter who has a crush on him..."
"Oooh~"
"So to put the waiter down gently, we pretended to be dating?" Yuri perked up, smirked then leaned close to me while sipping his coffee.
"And?"
"Honestly... I didn't hate the idea."
"Gasp... I knew it, you like him!"
"Okay listen let's do say I like him-- which is not the case-- he is already in love with his childhood friend."
"What kind of reverse cliche is this?"
"Don't ask me, the dude's in love."
"Also..." Yuri placed his mug then stared at me as though I was the most idiotic person ever. "Hold on a second..." He went to get a magazine and smacked it on my head. "Do you fucking know who the fuck are you?!"
"W-What?"
"You are Takuya fucking Soma, the sexiest man that ever existed!" He shoved the magazine he was whacking me with on my hand. "Who is this sexy man on the cover?"
"Me?"
"Fucking straight it is you, and what does the title say?"
"Most voted sexy man in the country?"
"A fucking country voted for you as the sexiest man, and didn't you mention he's a fan?"
"Yeah...?"
"Then obviously he thinks you're the sexiest man in the country, sexy is sexy!"
"...Oh my God... You're right, I am THE Takuya Soma, I can make anyone like me!"
"Slow down, don't get too cocky, but you're not wrong though."
"Sure, you're right... Still, I'm not gay."
"I swear I'll kill you!"

Mikito POV.
Once I was done with all my assignments I got a text from Rinka who invited me out for drinks. I texted her back that I just finished my studies and I'll meet her soon.
"Mii-kun~" Rinka waved for me, but I froze surprised.
"Oh wow Rinka, you cut your hair short, you're so beautiful!" I said
"Hehe... Thanks, you're sweet." I scanned the crowd and then turned to her.
"Where's Cloud?"
"He's busy with his studies so he couldn't join us."
"Oh right, because of his coma, he's two years late."
"Yes, we live together, but his mom comes from time to time to check on her son."
"I don't blame her, she thought her son would never wake up and now he's back he decided to move in with his sweetheart."
"Hey! Just so you know the co-habitation was his idea! I rejected the offer at the beginning, but he's so sweet I just couldn't!"
"I understand where you're coming from." Rinka sighed then smiled.
"You look better than the last time I saw you, when was it? Last year? I was worried that you'd kill yourself if you heard Nobuaki-Senpai is getting married to Yoru." Women's intuition is scary, she is not wrong about that suicide part, but I need to be strong for my loved ones even though it can be tough at times.
"I'm doing better, I am done weeping over a man who won't return my feelings, but letting go of my feelings for him is a little difficult." Rinka smiled and placed her hand over mine.
"Take all the time you need to move on Mii-kun, it is okay to have lingering feelings for someone you love, at least you conveyed your feelings."
"Thanks, Rinka, you're the first person who told me to take my time. Everyone keeps on telling me to "get over it" or that I should "hurry up and find someone else"."
"Anyways, how are you? Met anyone interesting?"
"You won't believe it, but..."
"But?!"
"But I actually met THE Takuya Soma and I've been meeting him from time to time, we're friends."
"Shut up, you're lying!"
"I'm not! I have his number." I said then showed it to her, she checked the digits then gasped.
"I believe you."
"Really? That easily?"
"Well... I've been keeping a secret from you... Takuya and I are cousins, not blood-related but we're family, his dad and mine are brothers, I know his number that's why I believe you."
"Oh my god, you tramp, you know how much I love him and you never introduced us."
"Hey! I have my reasons! As his cousin, I'm respecting his privacy by not going around saying we're related, I don't want any unnecessary attention not to mention it might get him in a scandal."
"You're right, but still...!"
"Also, wasn't you who said you wanted to meet officially at one of his concerts?"
"That's true..."
"Anyways, how did you guys meet? I know it was not in a concert." I explained to her how we bumped into one another at a party, how he mistook me for a girl, and how he asked me to dance.
"After that, we started seeing each other."
"Okay wow, I never saw Takuya approach anyone before, usually it's people who flock around him... You're special Mii-kun."
"I-I'm not."
"If I didn't know him well I would have assumed he's into you, but that guy is as straight as a line."
"D-Do you think he'd be into me if he wasn't straight?" Oh my God, why am I asking such a thing? Is it because I want my idol to think that I am appealing?
"Pfft... Who wouldn't be into you? You're the prettiest man I have ever laid my eyes on, don't tell Cloud I said that though."
"I won't."
"Mii-kun, you deserve to be loved you know, whoever is going to date you is going to be the luckiest man ever."
"Now you're exaggerating!"
"I'm not!" We both laughed and then chatted more until it got late. We both left together and I offered to walk Rinka home, I can't let a woman walk alone at night. "Thanks for walking me home, honestly I was a little scared to go back home alone this late."
"No problem!"
"I was about to call Cloud over to get me, but I didn't want to burden him when he's focusing on his studies."
"Heeh... Is that a smell of omega?" We both froze when we heard a creepy voice behind us. We turned around and there was a drunk middle-aged man, he seemed out of it from all the alcohol.
"You're so cute." He threw a dirty look at Rinka, but I blocked him.
"Rinka run, he's an alpha, you may be marked, he doesn't look safe." Rinka ran off which put me at ease.
"Tch... She ran." The man glared at me then grabbed me by the collar. "It's all your fault." He shoved me on the ground and then punched my face, I wanted to fight back, but his pheromones were overwhelming me so I froze.
"Officer! He's there!" Rinka came back with help and the officer tore the man off of me. For a while, I was on the ground unable to move.
"Mii-kun, are you okay?!"
"I-I'm okay."
"Don't lie, your face is bruised." Rinka teared up when she saw me in such a state that I forced a smile.
"I really am okay, this mark is just proof that I protected you." The officer cuffed the man and then took him away. "Let's go to my place."
We reached Rinka's place and thankfully Cloud was asleep. Rinka bandaged me as she sobbed again. "I'm sorry Mii-kun... Sob... If I didn't ask you out... If I wasn't an omega."
"Shush, it's not your fault, you're free to do what you want. Don't let that creep shame you." I said then hugged her.
"I'm going to sue him!"
"Leave it be, I won't press any charges. I-I feel ashamed."
"No Mii-kun! He should be ashamed... It's late, do you want to stay over?"
"Thank you for offering me, but I am going home."
At that moment, if I knew what was waiting for me I would have stayed over...
