“I apologize for my aggressive attitude yesterday. Although I won’t apologize for trying to keep Dex safe because God knows he doesn’t need any more heart break in his life. I realize that I approached the situation in the wrong way. And I’m especially sorry if I brought up any bad memories. You don’t have to forgive me, I was an asshole and I get it if you want to ignore me a little.” Wesley said all at once as he burst into the doorway leading into the kitchen.
The spoon filled with fruit loops drenched in milk that was making its way to Kloh’s mouth stopped midway. Kloh blinked slowly three times as he and Wesley made eye contact. Wesley blinked rapidly, observing the situation.
“I was hungry so I helped myself.” Was the first thing Kloh thought to say.
Wesley visibly choked on his response, completely flabbergasted. Kloh laughed a bit and grinned at him. Still watching each other, the spoon reached its intended destination. Realizing that the malice that he expected wasn’t going to appear Wesley let out a breath and relaxed.
“Like I care if you ate some of that sugary goodness. Make yourself at home.” Wesley scoffed and tucked his hair behind his ear, putting on his usual no fucks given demeanor.
Kloh chuckled and didn’t call him out. Instead he focused on his food. He could hear Wesley moving around the kitchen, the sounds of pots and utensils clanging filled the otherwise quiet room. Soon the smell of cooked food filled the kitchen area. Kloh took a deep breath then looked at his pitiful bowl of cereal. Several minutes passed in silence. Then Kloh saw a plate appear in his line of sight.
There was a healthy amount of scrambled eggs, bacon and several slices of toast. He glanced up but Wesley had already turned back around, busily making another plate. Kloh smiled.
“I’m not angry with you. I know you’re looking out for Dex and I’m thankful you are always there for him. Everyone could’ve made better decisions last night. I appreciate your apology.”
Wesley cleared his throat and nodded. His ears twitched for a second before he composed himself. Kloh held back a laugh. He watched Wesley flutter around the kitchen in what seemed to be an oversized bunny(?) apron.
With a light smile Kloh teased, “Honestly you’re probably the second greatest person in his life.”
“Second? The first being……..?” Wesley looked back.
“Me of course.” Kloh declared and winked at him.
Wesley scoffed and rolled his eyes. But his lips slowly curled into a smile. He placed a fork and knife by Kloh. Then put out butter and jam. He placed his own plate across from Kloh, then two more for the others. After adding cups and juice, he wiped his hands off on the white bunny apron. He took it off and placed it on the hook.
“Ehem,,,, Dex has been hurt before.” Wesley cleared his throat as he turned onto the tap to wash his hands.
“It was a bad time for everyone involved. It makes me extra protective. He’s been living on autopilot for a while now. But that stopped once you came into the picture.” He slowly washed his hands.
Kloh stared at his back and listened.
“You make him happy. You make each other happy. I love that for you and him. And it may not be my place but,” Wesley turned off the faucet and ripped off a piece of tissue.
He turned around and dried his hands. Not once making eye contact with Kloh as he threw away the tissue. He took a deep breath and stopped in the doorway to look at Kloh. His eyes were filled with a variety of emotions that Kloh couldn’t fully comprehend. But there was a strong feeling of trust with a touch of fear coming from the omega.
“I’m trusting you with his heart. Don’t fucking break it Kloh. It can’t be stitched up a third time.” He resolutely said and stared at Kloh.
“Dex is my everything.” Kloh calmly replied.
Wesley stared at him a bit longer then exhaled softly. He nodded.
“Good. I’m gonna wake up the sleeping beauties. Leave it to them and they won’t get out of bed until 2 in the afternoon.” Wesley turned and skipped out of view.
Kloh smiled softly as he looked back down at his full plate of food. His chest was warm. As he looked at the equally full plates at the table, the smile turned tender. Having Wesley’s blessing was something he didn’t realize he needed until it happened.
“Wake up before you waste the day!” Wesley’s yell broke through the tender feeling and made him laugh.

“I can’t believe this is the first party we’ve been to since we started college. And it’s after the first semester ended.” Lee lamented.
“First party you’ve been to babe. This is atleast number nine for me.” Olive flipped hair with a smirk.
“Seven for me.” Ares added with a finger wave.

“Hey! I’m driving here.” Kloh kept laughing as he swatted the annoying hand away.
“It’s all your fault, you lovesick nerd. Always studying or chasing Dex. Left no time to party hop with your best friend.” Lee scolded him before taking his hand back.
“It’s not my fault you’re antisocial but you have my apologies anyway. We’ll go to all the parties next semester. Promise.” Kloh grinned at him through the rearview mirror.
Lee tsked and turned away with a grunt of acknowledgement.
“Speaking of Dex, where is he?” Olive asked, poking her head between the two middle seats.
“Yes, why are you here with us when you could be with your man?” Noe poked his head forward, joining Olive.
Kloh grinned and with a doting voice explained, “Wesley and Dex wanted to dress up together and I’m not allowed to see. He said it’ll be a surprise.”
Lee fake gagged as Ares, Noe and Olive cooed over how cute they were. Simon rolled his eyes and went back to ignoring them. They gossiped and chatted about each other’s significant others until all the scenery blurred into forestry. Using the GPS, Kloh turned into a wide driveway covered on both sides by trees and greenery. As they got further in, decorations started to appear. The trees on each side were adorned with fairy lights and various white Christmas decorations. With the sun setting, the driveway looked like a beautiful runway.
After 5 mins of twists and turns, they started to hear the faint thump of music. Several seconds later they saw the marvel that was known as Made Estates. The open archway that led into the main entrance had the name chiseled out a fancy scripture. The estate was a large and imposing three story beige building with touches of rouge and a wraparound porch. Articulately designed towers were wrapped tastefully with lights and garland. Everything from the spindles on the walkways to the shingles on the roof were decorated. Directly out front was a huge pool, looking out of place from the Victorian aesthetic.
The whole front open area was filled with people in various degrees of inebriation. As required everyone was wearing white. They held cups and full plates of food as they laughed and mingled in the crowds. Many people were sitting on the porch and a continuous flow of people were entering and exiting the house. The loud music intertwined with various conversations and laughter.
“I’ve heard that the best parties happen at Made Estates. Just look at how fucking cool this place is.” Lee marveled as he looked out of the window.
Everyone wordlessly agreed. Two men stood at the entrance directing cars. Kloh followed the signs towards the back of the house where a cordoned off parking was set up. As they approached, a man in a black suit and shades with a bright traffic baton stopped them. Kloh pulled over and rolled the window down as the man approached.
“Good Evening, may I have your name?” The tall man asked.
“Kloh. Nellie invited me.” Kloh said with a smile.
The security officer nodded and turned away to speak into the mic on his collar. He waited a moment, reaching up to touch the earpiece. He then nodded and turned back to Kloh.
“You’re confirmed along with guests Ares, Noe, Simon, Lee and Olive. Is that everyone in the car?”
“Correct.”
With a flashlight, he carefully looked in the windows and matched faces with names. Satisfied, he put away the flashlight.
“Is there anyone who is in danger of falling into estrus in this car?’
“Nope.” Everyone was quick to deny.
“Alright. Follow the signs to park. Collect your wristbands by the backdoor entrance. Have fun.” He gave them a smile and waved them inwards.
“This is so fucking cool!” Ares excitedly said as they drove forward.
“It’s way more professional than I expected. And Kloh, when the fuck did you become friends with Nellie?” Lee pinched the back of his neck again.
“Stop that.” Kloh hit the back of Lee’s hand.
“Ow!”
“We study together. Maybe if you joined us you’d also know her.” Kloh scolded.
Lee rolled his eyes, “Pass.”
The car was parked relatively close to the back entrance. Around couples, groups and solo people were walking towards the house.
As Kloh turned off the ignition, everyone got ready to get off.
“Alright ladies and gentlemen. The goals for tonight are to; 1. Not get kidnapped. 2. Not get assaulted. And 3. Not get arrested. Agreed?” Kloh announced to the group of chaotic omegas.
“Sir, yes sir.” “Roger that.” “Agreed.” “Can’t promise the last one.” “We’ll try.”
“Okay. Everyone got their phones?”
“Yes.”
“And emergency suppressants.?”
“Yes.”
“Great. Don’t wander around alone. Remember if you can’t trust them with your life, you can’t trust them with your drink. Might sound a bit over dramatic but I’d rather y’all be safe than sorry.” Kloh gave everyone a hard look.
The group nodded seriously and agreed. Although they’ve heard the spiel before it didn’t stop Kloh from making it every time they went out. Whether as a group or individually. It could be annoying to hear so often but at the same time they appreciated it.
“Alright then. Let’s have some fun!”
***
“I look ridiculous.”
Dex bit his lips and rubbed on one of many sections of exposed skin.
“Nonsense. You look sexy ass fuck and Kloh is gonna eat you up the minute he sees you.”
As he looked in the mirror he faintly regretted letting Wesley pick his outfit. It wasn’t completely out of his comfort zone but it was pretty close. He had on a white cropped undershirt with a slight turtleneck. The seams had a dark thread giving it a more distinct look at the curves. It wrapped around his chest snugly. On top of that was a connected piece that overlapped in a way that covered his arms and back. The gaps were placed in a way that made his pecs peek out from the sides. Part of his abdomen was clearly showing. The turtleneck covered his mating mark.
He had on low waisted white jeans with a silver chain hanging from the front connecting to his back pocket. His hair had been slicked back with only a couple of loose curls. Wesley had done his makeup, despite his mild objections. His lips had a dark red color and his eyes were outlined in white and silver eyeshadow/liner. His face shimmered with the glitter highlight. Nails were painted silver and black, rings adorned his fingers. And top it all off was a necklace that Kloh had gotten him for Christmas. It was a silver chain with a little beaker charm.
Objectively, he could admit that he looked incredible. A complete change from his usual look. The look was masculine with a touch of femininity that he never really showcased before. He just wasn’t confident Kloh would react the way Wesley was convinced he would. The look leaned more toward omega than his usual beta like style. It was more eye-catching, as opposed to his usual covered and more modest style. He touched the necklace and let out a deep breath.
“You look beautiful. Kloh will love it. Confidence Dex. Be confident.” He whispered to himself.
“Done admiring yourself?” Wesley asked as he peeked into the bathroom.
“I wasn’t.” Dex rolled his eyes and stepped out.
“Well you should. I worked hard on this look. You look absolutely delicious.” Wesley sighed happily and pinched Dex’s hip.
“Hey!” The offending hand was swatted away.
Wesley giggled and pulled him along. Mars was already downstairs waiting for them. Wesley had a matching outfit as Dex, except he had a harness on as opposed to a regular top. After grabbing their jackets and making sure the door was locked, they made their way downstairs.
“Here.” Wesley stuffed a black and white bag in Kloh’s arms as they got into the car.
“Why do I need a bag?” Dex asked and got in the back.
“Look inside. You can thank me later.” Wesley winked and grinned devilishly.
Dex blinked and instantly was worried over the contents in the bag. Wesley turned to Mars in the driver’s seat, instructing him to head out. Mars demanded a kiss as payment for the ride, which Wesley denied. And as the two bickered, Dex quietly opened the medium sized bag. Almost immediately a blush covered Dex’s ears and neck. He quickly closed it. Reaching forward he flicked the back of Wesley’s head.
“Ow! That’s unnecessary!” Wesley pouted as he turned back to Dex.
Dex shot him a glare and shook the bag at him, unable to articulate exactly how he felt. Wesley grinned at him and laughed.
“Safety first babe. I hope you use them all to both of your satisfaction.” Wesley blew him a kiss.
Dex scoffed but did not respond. His ears were still flushed as he sat back in seat. Wesley snickered a bit more before turning back to bother Mars. The contents of the bag ran through Dex’s bag. As expected there was a pheromone blocker, patches and an inhibitor. There was even an alpha suppressant for Kloh. What made him embarrassed was the several kinds of condoms. Several. In different flavors.
He groaned and covered his face. They couldn’t possibly use all of those tonight. Wesley had clearly overestimated his stamina. But Kloh could probably run through a couple. The thought trickled into his head, making the blush grow as he was reminded of the rut period just a couple of days ago.
“Hey lover boy! Your phone is buzzing.” Wesley called out from the front.
Jumping out of his dirty thoughts, he fished out his phone. It was a text from Lee. Attached was a picture of Kloh looking uncomfortable as a blushing female in a skintight white dress was talking to him. The attached message said,
IAmLeegal: This is the fourth person he has rejected and they keep coming. Me and the peeps are fighting the rest off. Come save your man. Us single people want to mingle _(:3 」∠)_
Dex laughed and replied that they were on the way. They’d been to parties at the Made Estate before so getting there was much smoother and faster. Fifteen minutes later they were pulling into the intricately decorated driveway. They quickly went through security and parked the car. Dex put the bag diagonally on his body. They left their bigger jackets in the car, taking the looser sweaters.
At the entrance they got their wristbands. The wristbands kept track of the wearer’s pheromone output level. If anyone exceeded a certain level, security would be dispatched to the area. Dex was always in awe of the Made Estate parties. The parties here were always so well planned and hosted that there hadn’t been any incidents. He knew the owners of the Made Estate also ran a laboratory that created the wristbands that he was currently wearing. Along with other safety features that reduced the amount of pheromone related incidents. It was one the companies that he and Wesley wanted to join.
“If you at any point feel unwell, there is an infirmary right next to this entrance. If the wristband gets damaged, come back for another one. Otherwise, have fun!” The beta worker smiled at them and let them in.
“Thank you!” Wesley thanked him and dragged both Mars and Dex in with him.
They went into the main hall where the music was blasting. They exited at the top of the two sided staircase. A quick look down into the open space showed a sea of people in various shades of white clothing. The light was dimmed and people had neon nightsticks.
“Do you see your alpha?” Wesley yelled over the music.
Dex shook his head and scanned the crowd again. He looked closely but couldn’t spot Kloh or Lee. Then Mars tugged his arm and pointed straight down towards the bottom of the left staircase. Right off to the side was a group of omegas forming a semi circle around Kloh.
“There! What is happening over there?” Mars yelled into his ear.
Dex shrugged but kept his eyes on Kloh. The man had on a much simpler outfit than him. A white tank top with a white denim jacket and jeans. Even with simplicity he looked amazing. Dex watched as multiple people bypassed the semicircle to speak with Kloh. They didn’t last long as they were chased away by the group of omegas. Dex recognized them as Kloh’s best friends. With a smile he started heading over to them with Wesley and Mars.
Kloh exhaled as another person was driven away by Lee and Ares. He completely didn’t understand why so many people wanted to speak with him. Most, if not all of them, were people he had classes with so at first he didn’t see any issue with it. But after being informed by the group of Os that he was in fact being hit on, he started to decline any offers. The group of omegas had trapped him in a corner away from the bigger crowd to ‘keep his innocence intact’ until his owner/boyfriend arrived.
“Hey look, it’s Dex.” Lee suddenly yelled out and slapped his arm.
“Where?” Kloh replied and turned around.
As his eyes landed on Dex, his mind blanked out and he could say one thing.
“Fuck me.”

Author’s Note
Guess who had Covid _(┐「ε:)_ feeling much better now though ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy.
Example of Dex’s shirt
Haha is that in the form of a command, a plea or an expression of shock that slips out before you can think (that last one happens to me a lot) 😄. I think Dex will be happy with any of them! The security measures are so reassuring after what the kids have been through 😌. I’m glad you got through covid, and better yet, with your writing gift still intact!
Thanks for the chapter. Glad you’re feeling better. Damn that top is sexy. Poor Kloh he short circuited
Love it
