Our turn came together splendidly, and Yamato and I were recognized by the gods as partners walking through life together.
Even so, I still didn’t know everything about Yamato, and I hoped that from now on, we could slowly get to know each other better.
And after we became partners… Yamato once again took the black-rimmed glasses from me and put them on himself.
“Your things are my things, and even without wearing them, Yuto is cute, you know?”
With that usual line, I couldn’t help but blush shyly…
But if Yamato is happy and smiling, I’m happy too; there’s nothing more to say…!
As we savored happiness together, enjoyable days passed, and it was one day nearing April.
“Yuto, do you have work today and tomorrow?”
Yamato slowly spoke up to confirm my schedule and who was staying over at my house.
“Today, tomorrow… Oh! Both are my days off!”
Having both days off from work meant I could spend more time with Yamato! That’s all I could think about, and I thought Yamato was confirming that too…
“I see… Then… would you like to come to my place?”
Yes! Yes, I’ll go!!!
Huh…?!!
Whaaaat~?!?!?!
Yamato’s house, where I had never been invited before… It was the first time Yamato, who lived with his parents, asked me to come to his home, which was the final mystery that had been on my mind…
Despite saying lies, he would actually wear a 100% silk scarf or casually mention high-end cars…
And despite being so intelligent, he hadn’t gone to college or started job hunting…
Yamato’s family home…?
Yamato’s future…?
In a flurry of various emotions, Yamato added to my confusion as he petted the hedgehog.
“…I want to properly introduce you to my parents as someone important to me, someone I’ve formed a bond with…”
Huh…??!

N-no!! There’s no way I’d refuse! I-I actually want to… I want to properly meet Yamato’s dad and mom!
I want to greet them properly and convey to Yamato’s parents that we are walking down a happy path together…
And I want you to watch over us…
Surely, my parents must be hoping for that too…
In response to my determined answer, Yamato also smiled back happily, and we began to prepare to head to Yamato’s family home.
* * *
We made our preparations and set off together on bicycles, heading to the station where we always went to meet Yamato.
But there was one thing different today.
I was sitting behind Yamato this time… and in front of me was the large, warm back of Yamato that I loved so much…
“Make sure to hold on tight, okay?”
“Yeah…”
Was it always like this for Yamato too?
I leaned my head against Yamato’s back… enveloped in Yamato’s warmth and the spring breeze, we spent a blissful moment together.
And when we arrived at the station, we decided to head towards the nearest station to Yamato’s family home…
“Uh, Yamato…?”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“Was this the route you took every day…??”
Yes, Yamato’s family home was a two-hour train ride away…
I see… That’s why he used to arrive at school so early in the morning. I realized it for the first time then…
“Well, I wanted to get away from my hometown… Once I got used to it, it wasn’t so bad. And besides, knowing that you would come to pick me up every day later on, it wasn’t a bother at all…”
Yamato, who would play with hedgehogs along the way… Yamato today seemed unusually shy…
But as Yamato became shy, I couldn’t help but feel shy too… Even though we were officially dating, our relationship still felt sweet and sour.
* * *
We boarded the train and spent the long journey swaying along with it.
As we chatted about various things on the two-seater, Yamato threw a question at me.
“Hey, Yuto? Do you kind of know the real reason why I gave you that scarf?”
“Uh… well…”
I thought Yamato gave me the scarf because he knew I loved his scent and warmth, so he got me a present with that in mind…
Didn’t Yamato mention he liked my scent too…?
But it seems Yamato’s intention went beyond that… It had a more significant meaning.
“…It’s inevitable that you emit trace amounts of pheromones… but I also knew irregularities were happening…”
“If you were attacked by other Alphas or if someone stole my place… it would drive me crazy… Your nape belongs to me too… so I wanted to hide it with a scarf…”
He’s playing with hedgehogs again…
And Yamato’s face is all red too…
The fact that he had been considering me to that extent made me blush too… I was so happy, I couldn’t find the words.
“…But, you know…?”
“Bu-but…?”
As Yamato said that, he placed his hand on my blushing nape…
“There’s no need for that anymore… right, Yuto?”
Yamato didn’t give me any time to respond in the empty train carriage… Instead, he just kissed me softly.
* * *
On the train for two hours…
The time spent together always flies by, and before we knew it, we had arrived at the nearest station to Yamato’s family home.
Unlike the city where I live, it was a metropolis with dozens of skyscrapers lined up… I had never been to a big city since I was born.
As an Omega, there were difficulties living in the same world as Alphas and Betas, so naturally, I kept my distance…
But now, I could confidently set foot in this place. Because by my side was Yamato, who had bonded with me…
However, for someone like me who didn’t know the way, the big city was both exciting and just a maze…
To avoid getting lost, I stuck close to Yamato’s side, walking with sparkling eyes, taking in the sights of the big city for the first time… And that’s when it happened…
Approaching Yamato and I were three tough-looking men dressed in black suits…
I clung to Yamato in fear as I was trembling slightly, but with just one word from Yamato, their demeanor changed completely…
“Geez… you guys are too intimidating… Don’t scare him like that!”
“Y-Yes! We apologize, Yamato-sama!”
Huh…?
W-Wait, Yamato… sama…?
“Is that… Yuto-sama?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Wh-What…?!
Yu-Yuto… sama…??
I was confused and trembling as I couldn’t grasp what was happening, so I just stuck to Yamato, not understanding the situation…
We continued walking while I was sticking close to him… and what caught my eye was a shiny black car that screamed luxury.
And then, the man in the black suit opened the door to the back seat and said, “Yamato-sama, Yuto-sama, please,” bowing slightly and smiling at us… I was completely lost at this point…
“W-Wait, Yamato…?”
“Yeah? Oh… it’s all pretty surprising and confusing, huh? Don’t worry, nothing weird’s going to happen, and we’ll talk properly in the car… Come on, Yuto, get in first, okay?”
Believing Yamato’s gentle smile, I got into the car before him…
Inside the car, there was a very gentle and refreshing citrus scent that lightly tickled my nose, calming me down just a little.
And above all, the seats were so soft, and the ceiling was high… I’ve never been in a car like this before, so even though I just got in, I couldn’t hide my nervousness.
Yamato sat beside me, and after the tough-looking man made sure of that, he slowly closed the door to the back seat… So this is what it means to be treated like royalty…
And then the car slowly started moving towards a certain place… It was in this car that Yamato’s final mystery would be revealed…
