A Fated Pair - SasaMiya

Chapter 17: The Talk

*  *  *

On the weekend, Sasaki brought a box of his old clothes eagerly. Miyano could even see an imaginary tail wagging happily behind him.

"You didn't have to come all the way to my house with this." Miyano helped him inside.

"Well, I get to see you, don't I?" Sasaki smiled and leered at him, which just made the butterflies roar in Miyano's stomach. "Plus, I didn't want you to come all the way to my house and have to carry the box all the way back here."

Miyano smiled, feeling fuzzy already. "We could have met half-way."

"Yeah, but I want to take care of you. Humor my big, dumb alpha brain?" Sasaki gave him a silly smile.

"You know I always will. I love all of you, especially your 'big, dumb alpha brain.'" Miyano pecked his cheek once they got the box to his room.

Sasaki froze, and then he was hugging him fiercely and pressing his face into Miyano's hair. "I love you so much."

They stayed like that for a while, just hugging each other closely and basking in their shared warmth and scent. They separated so Miyano could sort through the clothes, and he grew curious.

"I guess you were still pretty big even in middle school?" Miyano spoke as he held up some pants that looked like they might could fit him comfortably...

"Yeah, I guess so. I hit a growth spurt pretty early."

"Lucky!" Miyano pouted at him, causing his mate to laugh.

Sasaki reached in the box and held up a few shirts. "These should fit you better. I don't think I have much you could wear to school..."

"Guess I'll need to go shopping soon. Kuresawa brought over some of his extra clothes for me, but I'll need more for when the weather changes." The omega sighed and continued going through the clothes. His inner omega was eager to keep every single article of clothing, regardless if Miyano could wear them or not.

Sasaki stared at him curiously. "I know you grew a few inches, but can you really not fit in your uniforms anymore?"

Miyano blushed slightly, lowering the shirt he was holding up. "Um... they still fit, but they're a little tight in some places. Honestly, the shirts aren't a big problem, but the pants..."

It was quiet, and Miyano peeked over to see his boyfriend blushing and looking away. "Sasaki?"

Sasaki snapped out of whatever was making him blush so much. "Uh, what? Sorry!"

Miyano tilted his head in confusion and curiosity. "What are you thinking about?"

"Um, well, I, uh, can see why you'd be feeling uncomfy in your usual pants..."

It hit Miyano all at once what he meant, and he dropped his face into his hands. "Ohmygod you actually noticed!" He was still so embarrassed by his body changes. He didn't realize those changes the first day, and he had been with his mate the most.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to look, honest! I would never want to make you uncomfortable in any way!" Sasaki's reassurances stirred his heart, and he looked up from his hands. There was an honest desperation on his face, and it made Miyano so happy that Sasaki was his. He doesn't want to disrespect me...

"I know you wouldn't do something like that. You're a good person like that." Miyano smiled at him, making Sasaki's eyes widen. "But do you like the change? It isn't too weird?" His insecurities about it resurfaced. He knew Sasaki was a bit reclusive around omegas, and he worried that it might make him more distant now that Miyano looked a little more like his second gender.
