In the darkness of his room, Milles was sitting on his bed leaning against the wall facing the window. More precisely the reflection itself. It had been a long time since he watched that strange fellow who looked like himself. He recognized the haircut, the colour of the eyes and other features on his face, but what transpired was unprecedented.
The brownish tone had a reddish thread that shone. His whole face was tense, as if he tried hard to contain something. Milles knew what it was all about.
It was burning with desire.
It should be something routine, since his desires began to accompany him from the day his captain kissed him. However, the events of the past few days brought a new perspective on what he felt. Milles realized he was unable to resist Nicolas. Your captain was an addictive drug that he needed more and more.
He needed to touch it.
Feel it.
Smell it.
Have around. Always in your field of vision.
Being away was maddening, but being around was his downfall. That miserable little man knew how to provoke him, and the kiss they exchanged in the infirmary proved it. Nicolas knew how to seduce him, to leave that alpha at his mercy. And he made a point of proving to Milles that he had him in the palm of his hand.
Fucking omega!
Messing up damp hair, Milles hit his head on the wall repeatedly. Now that he knew Nicolas's secret, it had become impossible not to be attracted. His body had a burning desire to dominate him, especially when he remembered Nicolas's fragile body.
He wanted to play it.
Feel your sweet smell emanate from your skin.
He wanted to see him do that face one more time. When kissed him in the gym, finding his eyes moist and closed, showing how much that alpha was touching him. A smile appeared on that alpha's lips. He also had some control over that omega. Your kiss would have been good enough to leave Nicolas like that.
The two were indeed formidable enemies for each other.
The bedroom door was suddenly open, with the light from the corridor illuminating that corpulent alpha. Milles looked at his eyes annoyed by the sudden appearance of the light, realizing that his sister stared at him irritably.
― Come on, can you knock no?
― Why is it every time I walk into your room you smell like that?
― I was about to jerk off and you broke the mood. ― Sighed the boy, leaning to turn on the light in his room. ― What happened?
― Did you see that? On Orkut?
― No. What do you got?
Sadie had stepped hard to her brother's bed, sitting next to him blinking her almond-shaped eyes. Clenched eyebrows and close fists were clear signs of his anger. She was upset, that was obvious, but Milles had no interest in knowing why.
What he couldn't say about his sister.
— Someone had the courage to publish a story in the school community. A gay story. ― Answered the angry girl, gaining her brother's attention. ― About Gabi and... that damn...
Arching his eyebrow, Milles got up from bed going to the study table where his computer was. As much as he wished to send her out of her room and return to his libidinous thoughts, he knew Sadie well enough to know that she would throw a tantrum until all her complaints were heard.
It was better to end it as soon as possible, then. Letting the computer turn on, he sat in the chair facing his sister.
It was so obvious that she liked Gabriel, that only the dumbest would believe her when she said otherwise. Usually his sister did not waste time in winning the boys she liked, managing to date them as soon as possible. However, with Gabriel she was being cautious. She pretended disinterest seeming to expect him to come after her. Certainly this did not happen, because Milles knew very well to whom the attention of Gabriel was directed.
― A story? Isn't it just gossip?
― It's a story.
― Then why are you plundered with such nonsense?
Sadie snorted and hugged her own legs, refusing to face her older brother.
— Gabriel is very kind to people, doesn't that make him easily influenced? I know he wants to be everyone's friend, but that damn Theodore is an omega... What if he ends up seducing Gabi to spend time with him?
Kind?
Gabriel?
Milles had let out a nasal and incredulous laugh.
How many times did your friend give him that soul-chilling look? Two? Maybe there were more. It was just messing with Theodore, threatening to touch him or even kissing him that Gabriel cast that look. He could be a murderer if he wished.
It was incredible that Sadie used kindness to define Gabriel. Gentle he was not. And if Sadie bought fight with Theodore... Well, she'd see the demon hiding behind that mask. It would be better to spare her.
— That wouldn't be your problem, Sadie. ― Complained the loudest, crossing his arms as he leaned on the chair. ― Gabriel has the right to decide who he stays with.
― We know very well what kind of person Theodore is. He did that to our cousin, wouldn't it be right for us to prevent something like that from happening?
Milles sighed once more.
― You already warned him, and I did that, too, but Gabriel insists on being Theodore's friend. So there's nothing we can do.
— It would be easier if that manure already had a partner. ― Sadie grumbled without listening to her brother. Then, suddenly, she looked at Milles with her eyes shining. ― He should have that damn beta, don't you think?
― Damn Beta?
― Yeah, that mangy captain.
Milles' body stiffened at the same instant. It seemed unbelieving that those words came out of Sadie's mouth, though he knew of his innocence. Now his sister did not know that Nicolas was an omega, much less that his older brother was having a seductive dispute with his captain.
Even though he knew it was not his sister's fault, Milles became enraged. For the image of Theodore on Nicolas's side was at least repugnant.
― They are always close, so they should have some kind of relationship, don't you think, brother? Should I pull some strings to unite those two?
The fingers pressed in fist, reaching trembling with anger. Milles did not blink at his sister, his pupils dilated in pure jealousy of his own imagination.
How dare she get involved in your dispute? Even more to unite Nicolas with Theodore? She had no idea the two were incompatible because they were omega. Nicolas would have to take an alpha.
An alpha.
Someone who could take off that grumpy mask and see your fragility.
An alpha like him.
It couldn't be anyone. Not at all. For what he had hidden in that bad mood and harsh words, only one person could see.
Nicolas would have to be unmasked by Milles.
The smell of the alpha exuded once more. Its presence had become menacing through increasing anger. For the third time Sadie noticed that her older brother suddenly changed his posture. Without ever openly understanding the reason.
― What's wrong? Are you sick?
― Don't fuck, Sadie. ― Whispered Milles between his teeth, containing the sudden fury his instincts felt. ― Don't even think about doing any shit with the captain.
— Oh yeah... You are focused on the qualifiers. ― Sighed the girl, without realizing the lines of her brother. ― But if something happened to that little guy, it would be good for you, because then you'd become the captain...
Milles had been silent for a moment, under the curious eyes of his younger sister. He wanted to shout, rebuke her for daring to join that captain with someone else. But his conscience screamed questioning the reason for such fury?
Is it because consider him your soul mate?
Or for wanting a clean contest over who would fall on the other?
Milles couldn't understand himself.
He had to hold back.
His sister didn't have to be pulled into your mess.
Taking a deep breath to ease his anger, the boy would blink sometimes trying to show calm. A forced smile appeared on his face, despite keeping his head down without having the courage to face Sadie.
― Why so much effort for a mere story? Have you tried talking to Gabriel about it?
― He hasn't entered MSN yet. I'm thinking of giving him one more warning...
— As much as you like Biel, you have to have something in mind, Sadie. ― Sighed Milles as he raised his head to look directly at his sister. ― It's the Mckenzie's duty to protect from our own, and since Jake is our cousin, we do our part. But Gabriel is not our family. We have no right to interfere in your life.
― Don't tell me you agree that he's a friend...
— He's my best friend! And I'll respect the shit he does, just like he respects mine. Don't cross that line, Sadie, because you're wrong. And I can't protect you in this case.
Sadie had been speechless. Perhaps shocked to see her brother position himself so strongly on that subject. Once again Milles would not blame her. Until recently he was also openly against the approach of Gabriel and Theodore.
But due to a miserable little man, everything changed.
Milles was willing to help his best friend, even if it meant going against his own family.
All because only Milles could understand Gabriel.
Yeah, they were both going across the same bridge to two omega boys.
With the conversation over and Sadie out of his room, Milles can breathe relieved. Turning to the computer connected outside straight to the social network see such a story. Depending on the impact she would have, your friend could be in trouble. And he would need some help.
That's what friends are for, isn't it?
Milles had no trouble finding that story. It was interesting to realize that the anonymous author seemed to know some details he should not. Milles would only know a few things because Gabriel told him. And he doubted very much that Theodore, or even Nicolas, had the courage to expose this in an Orkut community.
After reading the story, Milles stroked his own forehead with his fingertips. The school would be in hell the next day, that's for sure. Would Gabriel have any idea what he was about to experience?
Unfortunately it would not be for lack of warning. Milles had warned him that joining Theodore was a problem.
Drumming his fingers on the table, the blonde alpha sighed heavy. He had already decided to help his friend, since he was the only one to hear his complaints. Gabriel was the only person Milles could trust, and if that wasn't a sign that the friendship was true, then Milles wouldn't know what else it would be.
And if your friend was being honest about liking Theodore... Well, Milles would have to go over his own concepts of blonde omega.
Even for the sake of himself.
