A Fated Pair - SasaMiya

Chapter 17: The Talk

As if sensing this, Sasaki brought him into his arms. "Miya, you could look completely different than you do now or stay the same. No matter what form you take I love you for you." He took his hand and brought his fingers to his lips. "I love how passionate you are with the things you love." He placed a kiss on one finger. "I love how when you look at me you see me." A kiss to his second finger. "I love when you get excited; it lights up your whole face and it's so infectious." He kissed his third finger. "I love your eyes. The color reminds me of honey and the sunrise, and I want to always get lost in them." Kiss to his fourth finger. "I love how considerate you are of everyone around you. It makes me want to be a better person so I can stand by you always." He kissed his fifth finger slowly, and then he looked at Miyano with such warmth and intensity that the omega trembled.

"I love every part of you, Yoshikazu. The good and the bad. I want it all. My love is so intense for you that it can get overwhelming... But I want to manage it all right by you. You're the first person to make me feel something. Before you I couldn't really connect with anyone, and I was annoyed by the world. I hated that I was too strong, and I avoided omegas so much that I went to an all-boys school in order to escape." Those sunset eyes grew watery, and Miyano could already feel the tear trails running down his own face. "And then I met you. You, an omega, who defended me and turned my world upside down in the best way. I could feel everything, and I saw the beauty of the world around me through your eyes. I'm so lucky and happy that you're my fated mate."

Miyano hugged him fiercely as he sobbed into his neck, and he felt Sasaki hug him just as fiercely. The love that they both felt filled their emotional bond and consumed them with the rawness of it. How was it possible to love someone this much? What's more, Miyano could only feel it growing as time went on. He hoped it never, ever stopped.

He felt his mate's tears wet his head, and he chirped. The high-pitched sound made them both settle down as their crying slowly stopped.

"Wh-When did you get so, so romantic?" Miyano sniffled out finally.

Sasaki choked on a laugh. "I have been reading a lot of books lately, and you like to choose the really sappy ones. Not that I mind, I really like them too. Guess they helped my vocab?"

It was Miyano's turn to laugh, and he reached a hand up to hold the side of Sasaki's face. Miyano watched as he leaned into it, and his heart beat faster at the soft look he gave him. He really wanted to kiss him, and so he did. It was so easy now for them to join together, and it never failed to make his heart race.

Being this close he could feel the emotions behind all that Sasaki said, and he wanted to pour all that he felt for his alpha into that bond. Want more. His inner omega insisted on getting closer still.

"Sasaki..." He whispered in between their lips moving, and his alpha hummed, but they couldn't pull away from each other. Finally, Miyano felt the urge to duck his head and press close into his neck.

His alpha's scent gland was right under the omega's mouth, and Miyano did something he never even thought about doing before. With the precious scent of his mate so close, so strong, he licked the area. An explosion of that sweet scent on his tongue drove him wild, and it seemed to do the same to Sasaki because he clutched him tighter than he ever had before.

"Nest. Sasaki--Alpha, nest." He and his inner omega were converging, and Miyano fought for control.

Sasaki listened to him instantly, helping him up and they fell into his bed together. Miyano's nest wasn't as messy before, but he still kept most of it. It was comforting for him when he was away from his mate.

But now his alpha was here, in his nest, and a strange pride overcame Miyano. He licked a stripe up his mate's neck and focused on licking his sensitive scent gland. Sasaki thrashed and moaned once before settling, compliant, as he let the omega do whatever he wanted. He bared his neck to him in submission, and Miyano went wild at the implication. Alphas didn't do that for omegas. At least, not the ones he read about.
