NOAH'S P. O. V
"Toby. Who was that?"
He couldn't have been vaguer with his question but the omega answered the way he processed the question.
"Those guys? They are just Lucas friends. Leo and Xander. Both are in the faculty of medicine. Although I think Leo truly despise my existence for some reason (He pouts looking like a run over puppy)."
Dammit the omega looked far off the direction the car drove off. (I know, it is hard to believe this guy was right about something regarding love.) Yeah. Yeah his a genius and all but this genius waited almost five years to confess to his crush. Wait this guy could never speak to his crush up until recently. This guy won the damned bet they made attaining the existence of fate.
"Lunch and dinner is on me."
"Wait. Why do you want to buy me food? Don't tell me, you need a favor?"
He laughed.
"No. It's nothing like that. I concede to fates existence, at this point she might as well just throw me in a den of lions to exclaim her point."
"I don't understand (he tilts his head)."
The action made him look so adorable. The moment his guard was down Xander made his way to his thoughts. Damn:
"Beautiful Xander. I do not know how I feel about him. I saw him exactly three times which cannot be conceded a coincidence. Once would have been a coincidence. Twice with the same level of interest was a destiny. Somehow this time it was direr, my soul cried out to his, my walking question mark. I literally just had a conversation with him once but I cannot get him out of my head. Even when his not around I think about him. Dammit I cannot get him out of mind and I really tried. I have not felt anything like this for other girls at campus and cannot even stomach being with them anymore. Remember when I told you lightning does not strike the same place twice? It did not until I met Xander. I do not know what this feeling is that I get when I think about or see him but I never want to lose that feeling. Shit, I also do not want to fall in the same rabbit hole you fell into. No offense."
"None taken. Noah. Xander is a really nice guy. I know you jump from one conquest to another but understand Xander is not that type you just fuck and dump man. If you just fascinated by your feelings for another man, take in to account said man's feelings."
What type of man does Toby take him for? Yes, he has been with a lot of girls but fate decided to slap him with a man unprovoked. Although it does not mean he will not do right by his fated if he were to be a man. He doubts fate means fated, that means To is right. Noah should really just think about his soft, innocent Xander and think about whether he can or cannot hurt him. He concluded after all his efforts to get the man out of his head, in every scenario he came up with it turns out he cannot hurt Xander. All he wants to know is that his not crazy for feeling this, so he changed the topic.
"Toby. It turns out our next stop sells fried pork, what about I buy you that?"
"You cannot buy me with food but yeah. Do not forget my pink milk or if they do not have apple juice."

"Lucas? What do you want here?"
Toby went in the shower. A knock sounded on the door, Noah went to open the door to see Toby's fated.
"Greetings Noah. I have a proposition for you. Toby has no idea of this that is why I trust this will stay between us. I want to spend with my fated, get to know him and this not really vaccination will give me the opportunity. Of course this is your room and living space for the next four days so I wanted to express my intentions."
"Which are?"
"I want to mate with my fated."
Haha. His serious? Wow. Wait till Jayden catch wind of this proposition.
"And pray tell. What is the proposition?"
"Haha, straight to the point. This is a key to the room the guys and I are going to stay in, I know it is not nearly-"
"Deal."
He did not have to finished whatever he was about to say. Is he the worst best friend, he is about to abandon his best friend just for a room key?
"Good then."
Lucas handed him the key, certain Lucas knew at least a fraction of the reason he immediately agreed. Wow, Noah got the key to the room. Fate has to be throwing them together. Now he had to find one way to his heart or at least his pants. He has a feeling, whatever his fated is (status), he belongs to him or so help him goddess.
Fate does have a way of letting thing fall into place. Toby? He did not need to worry about his best friend Jayden is coming as well. He informed Jayden about the move and he will be here the whole week. Mainly he was to keep an eye on things because he does not trust Lucas with the timid boy he is related to. He has a distant relative relationship with Toby, that was not made public yet and Jayden used that to his advantage. Jayden figured it out, he somehow killed two birds with one stone. He made his poor boyfriend jealous, to fulfill his own satisfaction of knowing that said boyfriend wanted him as well as test how long he can stretch Lucas's patience. Listen. Fate is going to happen regardless of the interventions or borders, so why fight it? He holds one key.

XANDER'S P. O. V
The door unlocked and opened. A very tall good looking man walked in holding a bag which he dropped when he entered. He had a predatory smile on his handsome face and when his eyes met his, he froze in anticipation. Annoyed, Leo got up to confront the stranger.
"Who the hell are you and why do you have a key?"
"Wow I cannot believe you are a role model senior, how mean you are to a junior. (He fakes a pout) Besides do you not remember me? Haha. I bet I did get taller, more muscular or handsome."
"Uh. The foolish talk... Norman. No. Neil? I don't think so. Nathan-"
"Noah."
Xander interjected helping Leo recall the good looking alphas man's name (he remembers him). He would never forget him. He does not understand why they only met and Noah's stupid face is still trapped in his head. It is frustrating, not being attracted to his junior but an alpha the worst of them all. They are Selfish, self- in titled, arrogant, narcissistic picks and he knows it is not all alphas but knowledge does not mean he does not have to remain wary. When both man looked at him he rolled his eyes, continuing shading on his spare book since his other book got lost. Before he knew it he realized his sketch looks familiar and when he looked up at the annoyingly handsome man. The alpha male worked on explaining why Lucas betrayed them and gave him the room key. Although he did not pay him attention, the image on the book was uncanny.
"What are you drawing?"
Noah stepped closer and he immediately shut his book, embarrassment laced with irritation gave him enough courage to walk out of the room. Making his way to the beach, like a tail the guy followed and when he got tired of walking as if he had a purpose he stopped, making sure to glare at full force.
"Why are you following me?"
"I wanted to offer you a sweet snack. Here."
Confused the 'snack' in his hand was a chocolate and when he opened up his hand it was a bar-one. Chocolate? Stunned and literally out of words Xander walked away, not caring if he was perhaps being rude to his junior. Gosh he hates being confused, he followed.
Literally. No amount of chocolates would ever be worth peace of mind, whatever this guy was up too he would not play. He did not escape hell to fall for an alpha. Thanks to his suppression pills there is no way this knows his status, right? Then why is he being tailed?
"Common. Why do you hate me?"
"I don't."
"Then why do you keep running away? I am interested in getting to know you. Interested to seeing more of those expressive eyes, rosy skin and cute dimples that you are trying to hide unsuccessfully if I may add."
His skin tinted in embarrassment and he wondered once more why a good looking guy as out here following him. Gazing at him as if he wanted to devour him whole, his focus unyielding and that fact made all the butterflies wrestle. Thankfully or unfortunately someone broke the mighty spell.
"Noah. Come we need to do our photo- shoot. We are all waiting for you. You know what? With your handsome and powerful frame and my slender and feminine pose we perfect together. If we were to date again we are bound run the junior class of Moon University and make it all the way to the top babe. I did say I wanted a break, breaks over we dating again and I will make sure to update my social media."
She spoke enthusiastically, arms wrapped around his body like it was her temple. How dare she? How dare he? They used to date? Shit, he should probably give them space but his feet are planted where he stands. Thankfully she did not even care to acknowledge his presence, her mouth continued racing against time. Until she dragged Noah away to the photo- shoot, the fact he did not seem to mind her affection and the fact he did not dispute her claim made it all clear to him. His straight. He was just teasing or playing a sick joke on him. What a jerk. His in a relationship. Here you go again, do not put yourself through this. Walk away. Fool me once, shame on you.
Walking away Xander passed a trash can and he ripped out the paper, crumbling his mistake. Discarding the image in the trash can, he went back to their room took a shower and allowed himself time to breath stealing his resolve. He will not fall victim again.
Three more years to get his doctorate. Cleaning his side of the room then washing his hands again he fell asleep and for the first time not thinking about the player Noah. Waaboin his fantasy, even there he did not wish him a goodnight. Goodnight. Dammit.
