“I’ve completely killed the mood, haven’t I?” Kloh grumbled as he slipped off of Dex and laid at his side.
Dex reached out and patted his stomach.
“Not your fault.” He said soothingly and continued to pat Kloh.
Kloh reached down and held Dex’s hand in his. They laid in silence for several minutes.
“You want to tell me what happened?” Dex tentatively asked, looking at Kloh from the side.
“Remember how I told you that I’ve only dated two people before?” Kloh asked as he played with Dex’s hand.
“Yeah.” Dex raised a brow at him.
“That was the most recent ex. He, well, he got a little obsessive after we broke up. And I guess he finally saw that post about me and Ares and lost his mind. Like he has the right to.” Kloh scoffed.
He remembered the text that had come in the night before from the unsaved number that he recognized. All it said was ‘I knew that little slut Ares was trying to steal you. I knew it! Explain yourself Kloh!’ Kloh couldn’t even be bothered to entertain that situation. But it seemed like Alexandre was gonna press him about it.
“He goes to school with us?” Dex cautiously asked.
“Went to school with Lee and I. Somehow is going to school with us now.” Kloh answered.
“Does he……… Is there…….. tsk…. Are you….?” Dex started to ask but stopped himself. He wanted to know but not really.
“He still likes me. There is no possibility of us getting back together. And that last one is a bit too broad for me to figure out the question.” Kloh laughed and turned his head to wink at Dex.
“Are you going to talk to him?” Dex pinched Kloh’s hand.
“Not if you don’t want me to. Even then I still wouldn’t want to actively talk to him. There’s nothing I have to say to him or hear from him.”
Dex watched him for a moment. Kloh continued to stare at the ceiling, waiting for Dex’s questions. He didn’t have anything to hide.
“Why…… can I ask why you broke up?” Dex said after a while.
“Yes.” Kloh paused and turned his body to face Dex. “But I’d rather not tell you while you’re still in your heat cycle.”
“Oh.” Dex mumbled.
A sudden sad falling clouded his chest. He didn’t like to think of Kloh hiding things from him. The sadness grew and a little pout appeared on his face. Kloh smiled as the pout appeared on his face. He reached out and pinched Dex’s cheek.
“Would you like to come home with me for the rest of the week?”

“I don’t live with my mother. I only stayed with her because legally I had to. Then in high school because it was an easier commute. I’m talking about my house. The one my grandparents left me.” Kloh clarified with a smile.
“Oh. Okay. Uhm sure. If you want.” Dex mumbled.
The sight warmed Kloh’s heart and the anger that was simmering within him lessened. He ran a hand through Dex’s hair, brushing the curls back.
“I’ll explain everything there. After your cycle ends. Is that cool with you?” He said softly as he played with his curls.
“Mhmm.” Dex replied and relaxed into Kloh’s touch.
The sadness that had creeped into his chest was driven out by a cozy warmth that made me feel like he was surrounded by a hundred comfy blankets. He naturally moved closer to Kloh until his face was pressed against the alpha’s chest. He sighed happily and took in the comfort offered to him. He happily wrapped his arm around Kloh and kicked a leg around his waist. He hugged Kloh as he thought he was his own personal teddy bear.
“Why don’t you tell your parents while I pack a bag for you?” Kloh murmured quietly.
“I don’t need their permission. I’m grown.” Dex mumbled into Kloh’s chest.
Kloh laughed and Dex felt the rumbles in his chest.
“I would rather not get on your parents’ bad side by snatching one of their innocent omega children into my house. Plus you’re in your cycle, think of all the nefarious things I could do to you.”
Kloh pinched his ears. Dex shook his head to fend off the pinching claws.
“You’d ask for my permission to do nefarious things first, so that’s not a valid argument.” Dex retorted and bit Kloh’s chest in retaliation.
“Well, ow by the way, I’d rather have them aware of where we are. Plus I already feel bad that they’re staying out in the guest house. At least they’ll get the house back to themselves. And we’ll have privacy.” Kloh pinched Dex’s earlobes in response to the bite.
“Privacy for what?” Dex flicked his eyes upward to look at Kloh.
“Whatever you want.” Kloh squinted at him then grinned and licked his lips.
Dex froze for a second then quickly rolled out of bed.
“I’ll go talk to my parents. Don’t forget to bring my lab coat.” He instructed as he headed for the door, phone in one hand already texting his parents to meet downstairs.
Kloh laughed and laid there for a moment. Dex, his boyfriend, his omega was truly too fucking cute.
~~~
Dex watched as they got closer and closer to a relatively big house in the suburbs right outside the city. The drive was about an hour from his place. In that hour they had jammed out to a road trip playlist that Kloh had. An endless amount of trees and shrubbery enveloped them. Dex couldn’t help but relax a bit as he took in the quiet. This was a novel change from the city. Kloh pulled into the drive of a two story colonial style house. As Dex looked around, he noticed that although the houses were still close together didn’t feel cluttered like it did in the city.
“Welcome to my humble abode.” Kloh flashed him a smile.
“Thanks for having me.” Dex grinned back at him.
They got out of the car. Kloh grabbed the bag he packed for Dex and swung it over his shoulder. Dex grabbed the groceries they had picked up on the way and the snacks his parents had forced onto them. He walked around the car and went up next to Kloh. Kloh took his hand and walked up to the front door. He stopped for a moment looking over the familiar entrance. The front porch still had hideous windchimes that he had made when he was little. The bench swing in front made the same creaking sound it always did. A wave of nostalgia washed over him with a pinch of grief. Although he had recently been here it still hit him, like it did everytime, that he had no living family left everytime he came back. Dex saw Kloh’s face got a bit somber and quickly squeezed his hand to comfort him. Kloh pulled out of his daze and looked over at Dex. The man smiled down at him. The chaotic emotions relaxed at Dex’s smile. He had Dex. And Lee and his little Os and the Cantores and Wesley and Mars. And his Dex.
“They would’ve loved you.” Kloh softly said with a small smile, eyes twinkling with many unnamed emotions.
“I hope so.” Dex replied and gave him a bigger smile.
“I’m sure of it.” Kloh brought up their joined hands and pressed a quick kiss onto Dex’s hand.
Then he took a shaky breath and collected himself. He keyed in the house code that hadn’t changed since he first moved in. 05199150. His birthday, forwards and backwards. Probably wasn’t the most secure but it always used to make him smile when he could open the door with his birthday. He laughed to himself as a flash of five year old Kloh excitedly punching in the code popped into his head.
He opened the door and pulled Dex in. The house was still the same. He had a cleaning company come in every couple of weeks to clean in case he needed to stop by. To their immediate left was an entrance to a mini foyer with bean bags, bookshelves, a small table and what looked to be a hammock. Sunlight came in through the glass paneled sky window. Right past the entranceway was a staircase leading upstairs. To their right was the living room, packed in with huge couches and a big TV. Various bookshelves filled with all kinds of books and DVDs filled the area around the TV. There was even a gaming system hooked up to the tv. The aesthetic of the house had a very old homey vibe. Everything looked extremely comfortable and bright. The walls were adorned with family photos, many of them were Kloh in various stages of life with his grandparents.
Looking closely at the framed image by the doorway, Dex could see the resemblance between the small family. It was one of those old fashioned family portraits that were taken in a studio. There was a strong vibe of happiness radiating from it. He heard the door click shut behind him, followed by a series of beeps which he assumed was the security alarm being set. Then he saw a finger pass by his face and point at the picture.
“These are my grandparents. This,” He pointed to the tall man, ” is my grandfather Fabian Anders.”
Fabian Anders was a tall man with black hair and dazzling green eyes. He had a stoic look that made him look serious and unapproachable. But there was a deep smile on his face that made the skin by his eyes crinkle slightly. His eyes were filled with happiness and love as he held hands with the woman and child in the picture.
“And this is Aman Anders,” he pointed to the woman, “my lovely grandmother.”
Aman Anders was a tall woman with grey hair and baby blue eyes. She grinned widely in the photograph, one hand holding Fabian, the other holding the young Kloh. She had the kind of look that made you want to hug her. She looked comforting but also fun. The twinkle of mischief in her eyes was very reminiscent of Kloh’s twinkle.
“And last but not least, that’s me.” Kloh let out a small laugh and rested his head on Dex’s arm.
The Kloh in the picture looked to be about 7 years old. He had a head full of untamed auburn curls. His brown eyes were wide and sparkling with laughter as he held his grandparents’ hands. He stood directly in front of them, little arms swung upwards. He had a wide grin, a tooth missing.
But the best part of this was that they all wore matching outfits. They were dressed as different characters from Harry Potter but not a single one was one of the main three characters; Harry, Ron and Hermione. Instead, Kloh was dressed as Hagard. Fabian as Neville Longbottom. And Aman as Dobby the elf.
“It’s alright if you want to laugh. It was a funny shoot.” Kloh chuckled.
Dex finally let out the laugh he was holding. He couldn’t believe they had framed this picture and placed it at the entrance. Granted they all looked very good. Kloh remembered choosing the theme after they had finished reading the series. And the only rule was that they got to pick each other’s characters. Kloh chose Aman’s. Aman chose Fabian’s. And Fabian chose Kloh’s. They each gave the other their favorite character. And then Fabian spent a week finding and creating everyone’s costume while Aman booked the studio and hired a makeup artist. They put all so much effort in for this singular shoot. Kloh could still remember the dizzying happiness he had felt that day in the studio as they took a series of pictures. The shoot was something they did yearly but this had to be the best one yet.
“There’s a whole photo book dedicated to this specific theme. Plus there’s some pictures of us as some of the professors. I’ll show you later.”
“I look forward to it.” Dex said with a laugh.
“Come one, let’s put away the groceries. Then I’ll give you the tour.”
“Alright.”
They went deeper into the house. Past the living room was a kitchen and dining room. The kitchen was a decent size with a huge fridge and a granite countertop. Pots and pans in several different colors were carefully put away in the cupboards. The countertop was empty except for the few condiments in the middle. The dining room had a large mahogany table and several cherrywood chairs surrounding it. Like the rest of the home, it gave off a comfortable old fashion vibe. Although it hadn’t been used in a while it didn’t feel weird.
They took a moment to put away the groceries and then Kloh gave Dex the full tour. Along within the rooms mentioned, there was a small bedroom and full bathroom on the first floor. The backyard was fenced off. There was an old swing set to one side. There was a medium sized self built above ground pool that Kloh mentioned his grandma Aman designed and granddad Fabian made. There were actually a lot of things in the house made by the couple. There was also a shed filled with a pool and gardening equipment. On the second floor was an open living room kind of area that was also filled with bookcases and beanbags. There were three bedrooms. The master had a bathroom. There was another bathroom in the hall. The master was painted in grey and pink colors. It looked empty. Kloh didn’t stay too long in that room and Dex didn’t press it. Instead he quickly showed off the pastel colored guest room before moving onto his bedroom.
His bedroom was painted with a dark green and blue color scheme. Faded posters of artists or artwork covered the walls. Like his dorm room, the room was very orderly. His desk was against the left wall with a desktop computer. On the opposite end was a double bed. In front of the bed were dressers. By the door were shelves filled with trophies and what looked to be handmade crafts. There was even a small fridge to one side. The walls had pictures of him and his little group of Os plus his grandparents. Dex smiled when he saw the photo booth picture they took the day of the carnival on the bedside table. Kloh put Dex’s bag onto his desk and pulled the man over to sit on his bed.
“Aht wait, We’re still wearing outside clothes.” Dex lightly scolded and stopped himself from being pulled down.
“I can fix that.” Kloh smiled playfully and took off his shirt and pants. He then fell back into the bed. “Better?”
He took a minute to enjoy the visual of Kloh’s partially naked body. Noticing his gaze, Kloh actively posed for him. Dex rolled his eyes as Kloh laughed and turned to go through the drawers. It took a minute but he found some shorts and a shirt. He tossed it to Kloh. Kloh pouted but still obediently put it on. Dex didn’t hesitate to pick something for himself as well. He also took a pair of black shorts and a huge shirt that said I’m With Stupid and had arrow pointing upwards. He laughed at it. He then without shame stripped and changed into them. Kloh watched with a doting look as Dex made himself comfortable. Dex took the discarded clothes and put them in the hamper. He then took his bag and unpacked it into one of the emptier drawers. The smile on Kloh’s face deepened as Dex fluttered about arranging his stuff.
There was a tendency every omega in their cycle had called nesting. It made them want to clean, organize and build a comfortable environment for themselves and their partner. Dex had done this in his room earlier that morning. Fluttering about moving things around. Filling the bed with pillows for comfort and specifically putting the one Kloh had been using right by him. Now that he was in a new environment the urge surged forward again. Kloh pointed out where the extra pillows were and he threw them into the bed. Then he organized the room to his satisfaction. Because he was in Kloh’s room, everything had a inexplicable trace of Kloh’s pheromones which satisfied his case of pheromone addiction. In his heart he already decided that his next heat cycle would be spent here in the comfort of Kloh’s pheromones. He caught himself. Already planning for the next time? With Kloh? But of course he was spending it with Kloh. Kloh was his alpha anyway. Dex had already made that decision earlier and decided that he’d indulge the way any omega would. If he was gonna unravel this ball of fate then he could at least indulge in the benefits offered.
When he finished up, he finally crawled into the bed, pushed himself into Kloh’s arm and got comfortable. Kloh could only laugh lightly. He knew that in two days Dex would be embarrassed by his own brazen and cool attitude. But for now while instinct still ruled he couldn’t care less about niceties. Kloh undoubtedly was his alpha. And as his alpha it was only right that he be available to be used as a human pillow if required. Kloh patted his head and Dex rubbed his face against Kloh’s neck. Taken in the clove fragrance, he hummed contentedly. He wrapped around Kloh and hugged him tightly, enjoying the feel of him. Like he’d been doing for the past 24 to 36 hours, Kloh tamped down his lust. Dex was truly too seductive even if by accident. It was fine though. There would be time for that later, he reassured himself as he remembered what Dex had asked of him before they were interrupted.
“Alright, now that we’re here, what do you want to know?” Kloh asked after getting himself together.
“The Alexandre stuff can wait till after as you requested.” Dex replied.
“Then what else would you like to know about?”
“Everything you’re willing to tell me.”
“So everything it is.”
