"My what?"
"Your father"
What the hell....Why is this man standing in front of me claiming to be my father, first thing in the morning? Why isn't dad saying anything about this?
I looked towards dad, he had been stressed ever since this morning, that sulky guy hasn't been home either since yesterday. I have a bad feeling that everyone is hiding something from me and now this? What is this exactly?
"Let's go" Dad packed his last bag and spoke to me, his tone was cold and lacked any sense of emotions. I had never seen him act like that before either.
"Are you really my father?" I questioned the tall dangerous looking man and he nodded "No this doesn't make sense! you can't expect to just appear one day and tell me that you're my father! THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL! STOP MESSING WITH ME! YOU THINK AFTER YEARS OF ABANDONMENT YOU CAN JUST COME BACK WHENEVER YOU WANT AND I'LL FOLLOW YOU LIKE A GOOD LITTLE BOY! DAMN YOU!"
I lost my cool and lashed at him with full wrath.
"You didn't tell him?" The man turned towards my dad as if he had been expecting that I'd know a thing or two about him. Dad remained quiet, he seemed to be too busy with bags or more appropriately...he was avoiding it as usual.
"Dad! say something! You can't avoid this! Why are you doing this?!" I grabbed dad by shoulders and shook him "Stop treating me like a child! I deserve to know!"
"Shutup" Dad replied with a cold glare and I backed away, he seemed angry "Let's go" He said walking past me carrying all of mine and his bags on his own, he didn't allow the man claiming to be my father to ever touch those bags.
This is enough..They're not considering my feelings at all in this....
"I'm not going" I whispered while clenching my fists, he didn't respond, he's always like that..controlling me the way he wants and always hiding things from me and now he expects me to live with a man who came out of nowhere claiming to be my father? I've had enough "I HATE YOU!" I yelled and his eyes widened, he seemed totally shattered there...well...he deserves it...
"YOU'RE A HORRIBLE DAD!"
No..wait..stop..I'm going too far.. please tell me to shutup dad, please don't stand there
"WHAT HAVE YOU EVEN GIVEN ME HUH? A LIFE FULL OF POVERTY? THE CURSE OF BEING AN OMEGA? HAVING AN OMEGA PARENT? BECAUSE OF YOU MY WHOLE LIFE I HAVE BEEN BULLIED IN SCHOOL AND NOW IN COLLEGE! ARE YOU HAPPY?!"
No..this is not me! What am I saying! shut me up!
"YOU'RE JUST A DAMNED OMEGA! KNOW YOUR DAMN PLACE! YOU'RE THE CAUSE THAT MY WHOLE LIFE IS HORRIBLE!"
I screamed until I was out of breath and I would've continued but a harsh slap knocked me down and I looked up at the man who called himself my father stood there hovering upon me with his violent eyes and anger flashing through his maroonish brown orbs.
"Shutup kid" He mumbled with his heavy terrifying voice and I shivered but when I turned to see dad's face my eyes widened and a massive black cloud of guilt engulfed me.
I had never seen him make a face like that before, it terrified me more than the threat of this dangerous man, he looked empty, his lips turned purple and face became a pale white. If someone were to touch him even with a single finger, he'd perhaps fall apart limb by limb...What have I done?
The horror overtook my senses and I got up immediately running out of the house, he didn't follow as he would usually....
I can't face him again...
What have I done?!
WHAT HAVE I DONE?!!!!!!

"You should go home now..I'll be fine" Keitarou said and sat up after Aoi settled a pillow behind him. Keitarou fiddled with his thumbs, his eyes had been red and dried out at this point and dark eyes bags encircled his eyes.
Aoi sat in front of him, she understood well that he just had to be listened to, nothing that she would say can comfort him.
"..being oblivious was better..when I knew nothing and everything was good, my stepmother is right...I bring doom upon anyone that I'm around..even dad..." He muttered "Even Mari...its my fault"
"Don't you think you're letting her go too far? I understand, what happened back then completely destroyed her mind but that doesn't give her the right to do this to you" Aoi raised her brow.
"But it was my fault too wasn't it?...I did something that I promised myself that I would never do...I'm not different from dad am I? Even though I promised Mari that I would never be like him..." Keitarou bent his head.
"Don't compare yourself to that pedophile, a child died because of him" Aoi spoke strictly.
"How am I any different? He couldn't control himself because of an omega child in heat! I couldn't control myself around them either! We are same! just because they didn't die, doesn't mean we aren't same!!!" Keitarou almost yelled even though he was trying to keep his voice down
"This! This is exactly how you are giving room to Mari to take as much revenge upon you as she'd like!" Aoi wasn't having it either, she argued back.
"Well! Isn't it what I deserve! If that day I hadn't hidden that boy's suppressants out of jealousy, MARI'S FATED PAIR WOULD'VE BEEN ALIVE!" He became louder than he had anticipated.
Aoi took a deep breath "Calm down, you were just a child, you didn't know how important suppressants were..and.." Before Aoi could complete Keitarou cut her off
"You should be the last one to talk to me about that! You were a child too when your fated pair got into heat because of you and got attacked by his own friends! It wasn't your fault either! then why do you look like a drug junkie trying to keep her facade?!" Keitarou showed no mercy to her either but Aoi was shocked
"What? you think I don't know?" He chuckled a bit "It's that odd ball four eyes isn't it? You can't fool me Aoi, I recognized his pheromones that day when I took him in car after Mari injected him with the drug, you were totally giving off the fuk off vibe and I couldn't dare stand against your pheromones..but then I wondered why he couldn't feel your pheromones"
He narrowed his eyes "You're doing something dangerous to yourself aren't you Aoi?"
Aoi was speechless, she avoided meeting his eyes, she had been caught.
"Don't tell him about this" Aoi mumbled.
"Aoi stop that, there's no point in destroying yourself, he's your fated, confront him" Keitarou's tone turned gentle trying to talk her through.
"No, I can't face him with something like that, It'd only hurt him to know that I'm the cause of his unfortunate childhood experiences" Aoi shook her head.
"Then you should just marry me as we had planned back then" Keitarou rubbed the back of his head.
"Huh, no way" She didn't even flinch while refusing.
"You little.." Keitarou's brow twitched.
"Besides, you're the loud kind, can't have your moans making me deaf" Aoi shook her head.
"What are you even imagining" Keitarou slapped at her head with a little bit of smile.
"You finally smiled" She whispered with a light smirk rubbing her head.
"Say Aoi, what do we do now? I don't want to give up on Akio san just like you don't want to give up on Natsu chan...I think you can understand my feelings here" Keitarou curled up hugging his legs "Can we even forgive ourselves? Me, you, Mari, we're all full of darkness that takes down everyone around us..Do we even have the right to love? Our innocent sins are too big to be forgiven... " Keitarou mumbled.
"I don't know" Aoi replied "But one thing I do know is that I won't let Mari do as she pleases anymore.."
"Well she's dragging innocent people into this now...I can take all her punishments because I deserve them..both her fated pair and beloved father, she lost them both because of me.. but Akio san and his son shouldn't be a part of this..he's suffered too much already" Keitarou agreed.
"Well, for starters I need to get your video from Mari somehow...Its inconvenient for me to have Natsuro staying in that person's home..besides I can't get daily updates on how he is doing, if he's far away" She shook her head and Keitarou was dumbfounded.
"Atleast try to hide you motives" He said with a cracking nerve "also stop using me as your stalking tool I'll kill you"
"Want me to tell Akio san about the time you fell for a 60yrs old man and he ran off with your money?" Aoi threatened and Keitarou jumped forth defensively and covered her mouth.
"Shhhh! you promised you won't tell anyone that!" He hushed her as if it was a massive secret that must not be spoken about.
"Seriously though..what's with you and old guys? You daddy fetish freak" Aoi sighed.
"Hey! don't insult me! you don't know! people get more attractive as they age!" He argued.
"Sure sure then, why did you like me too?" She asked
"Huh? have you seen your face? you look like my mother's age fellow" Keitarou said and got smacked down with a bump on his head.
"You little! How dare you call me old! I'm 20!" Aoi tied an elbow around his neck and choked him.
"Well my mom says she's 20 too but we all know she's 40 please" Keitarou coughed a bit trying to free himself from her arm.
" Say your prayers, I'm sending you to the underworld"
"Eh why underworld?"
"So that you can call Lucifer daddy , you masochist!"
"I'm not a masochist! I'm a sadist!"
"Sure thing you masochist!"
The two bickered about, the nurses felt relieved since Keitarou seemed better now, they were almost too scared until yesterday that he might do something injurious to himself but now he seemed better and cheered up too..

"How is it..?" Zhuang asked, Akio was unresponsive "Hey..why did you even ask me to do you? You aren't even into this..you aren't getting up either, my hand is tired"
A smirk appeared upon Akio's face "Isn't this what omegas do? He said I should know my place, look at me I'm knowing my place.. you wanted it too right? I surrender..so go ahead...break me...that is, if there is anything left to break" Akio whispered with a mocking smile
Zhuang sat up again, he wore his coat again that he had taken off earlier and got off Akio.
"What, not gonna do it? even though I gave you consent too..? " Akio spoke while laughing a bit.
"I have no interest in doing it with someone who is on verge of tears and not even putting on a fight, its a turn off" Zhuang buttoned up his coat.
"Heh so I can turn you off too? what a pleasant surprise" He laughed a bit and placed an arm over his face covering his eyes while smiling "Looks like I can't give you anything either, a pathetic useless omega.." he laughed.
"You're being pathetic right now" Zhuang spoke with his usual cold tone.
"HAHA, well, I am pathetic, your son would agree with you on this" Akio chuckled under the arm covering his face.
"Stop that!" Zhuang pulled away his arm, his eyes widened seeing Akio's face, his eyes full of tears, his pale cheeks red and his lips trembling. He hadn't seen Akio like that EVER, not even once. For some reason Zhuang's body moved on his own. He didn't intend to do it but he pulled Akio up in his arms tightly
"I'm sorry" Zhuang mumbled.
"Haha..that's the first time you ever said that in your life" Akio taunted with his face over Zhuang's shoulder.
"Then here this too.." Zhuang parted "I hadn't ever said this before either..but the reason I won't let you go isn't because you are my mate, nor because I believe that omegas are a property of alphas" Zhaung hesitated
"Hiromitsu Akio, I love you! I love you since childhood! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THAT I AM WILLING TO DO ANYTHING JUST TO HAVE YOU!"
