Spending a week without Gabriel was a punishment Theodore had experienced for the first time. It was the most crazy and torturous experience ever experienced in his entire life, without comparison.
Seeing him from afar with Sadie taking his attention, admiring him while training with the team, or even watching him sneak into the classroom was just awful. The desire to go to him and sink into his arms grew incessantly as he rebuked himself for not behaving.
It was he himself who proposed to avoid him in school to reduce the rumours, imagining it was the best for Gabriel. But who was Theodore fooling?
He had realized it was nonsense from the moment that every day Theodore passed in the dressing room to smell Gabriel's shirt and touch himself.
Every day he had to do that to heal the longing he felt. There was an emptiness inside him calling for Gabriel incessantly, leaving him incomplete without the lover. It was so strange to feel that way, that Theodore could only imagine that something had happened in his heat.
Something that would result in the desire to make it yours.
But no answer was found.
Nor would he need more time to reflect on, since at that moment Theodore was approached by Gabriel and caught in the act sniffing his shirt. His heart beat so happily inside his chest to finally feel the warmth of his hands and his mouth.
Wrapping his arms around the alpha's neck, Theodore simply returned the kiss without hiding his happiness from being with Gabriel. He pulled him over, like it was the only way to prove they were really together.
Gabriel's tight embrace was his place. He could feel the pounding of his heart, and the grip of his hands on his back. Even when their mouths moved away from each other, the alpha had not allowed the omega to move away. It had hugged him even tighter.
— You have no idea how much I missed you, Theo. ― Whispered the alpha without backing away. Theodore tightened the white social shirt of the uniform, feeling his cheeks warm up even more ― I beg you never to stay away from me.
Widening his eyes to hear him say those words, Theodore turned his face trying to see Gabriel. He needed to look directly into his eyes to know how sincere he was being. And as soon as he had, he glimpsed the pain stamped on his eyes for the first time.
― I'm sorry, I thought it was best to avoid trouble for you.
― Let trouble come, I don't care.
Caressing the face of the alpha, Theodore did not hide his own smile when hearing those words. Maybe he created a problem by trying to empathize with Gabriel, disregarding what the alpha would like to do. As much as he tried to escape the romantic clichés, he had fallen into one himself.
— Even if people find out about us? ― Questioned the omega, cowering in the arms of the alpha touching his head on his chest. ― If they keep this up, your father might find out.
― It's not like I'm alone to deal with these problems, right?
With a low laugh, Theodore agreed with his head. Leaning his chin on the alpha's pectoral, he aimed his clear eyes at him and opened the most cheerful smile he could at that moment. Showing the fangs and leaving Gabriel speechless.
― You have your omega!
Gabriel needed a moment to hide from such brightness and splendour that Theodore emanated. It was low blow, right turning his heart into melted butter. Laughing relieved, the alpha had dipped his fingers in the blonde hair where he stroked them.
― My omega. You knew that, didn't you?
― Of what?
― That you're my soul mate.
It was the second time that Theodore had petrified. Blinking stunned the omega faced the alpha slowly processing the meanings of his words.
Him? Your soul mate? Where? When? How?
― What?
― Didn't you notice? Or are you pretending?
― I'm your soul mate? Where did you get that from?
Gabriel suppresses the laughter, weaving his fingers around Theodore's back. The omega stared at him perplexed despite the nervousness arising in his belly. Was the alpha serious or was it some kind of joke? He couldn't quite understand.
― Back home you said you finally found your alpha. Don't you remember?
Blinking still confused, Theodore relives all the memories of the days he spent at Gabriel's house. It had taken a while for a memory, a very weak flash, to come into his thoughts from the very moment he spoke those words. It was his voice saying that to Gabriel.
― Is that official? Like, real and official?
— Do not believe? ― Asked Gabriel arching the eyebrow, taking the opportunity to pick up the shirt that was still in the hands of the omega. ― So tell me, why did you have this?
Staring at the shirt now Gabriel, the blonde opened a yellow smile. Should he just admit? Or pretend that it was something else? He was ashamed, and would not control the blush of his face. Moistening his lips, Theodore again faced the shirt choosing to be sincere, since Gabriel caught him in the act anyway.
― Your smell changed, it got stronger. It's hard to contain me, since I was far from you.
— It is not only my smell that has changed, yours too. ― Smile Gabriel bringing the shirt closer to his own face. ― Your smell was impregnated in my shirt, which already shows that you were hugging her.
Looking away, Theodore made that alpha laugh. How could know he had hugged his shirt? He had actually pressed it against his face by inhaling deeply the smell of Gabriel as he touched himself. Doing that every day for a week was a torment, especially when he had the audacity to take the shirt to his home.
But that would never be said!
Theodore just needed that smell next to him. And he had to be like a ninja to get to school early just to leave his shirt in the closet pretending everything was okay.
― So... what does that mean?
― That we're soul mates. Now that we know that, it's hard to ignore each other.
Gabriel as your soul mate... Was he dreaming by chance? That alpha knight, athletic and intelligent was born to be your partner? Would he have become the character of some fairy tales to deserve such joy? Until a few months ago he thought Gabriel would be like anyone who would jump from relationship to relationship without ever meeting his soul mate.
Or that he would stay with Gabriel for a while, but soon he would get tired giving end to what they had. After all they were just staying.
He wanted to find his soul mate, as every person wishes, but he was afraid he was a bad person. That happened, he had heard stories of people destined to be together, even though the relationship was horrible. Well, he could tell from his best friend that found your half just in the person he fight the most.
It was natural to be afraid. It was natural and expected to be afraid to find your soul mate.
― Are you happy to be my soul mate? ― Murmured Theodore, resting his hands on Gabriel's chest still afraid to look at him.
― I am. ― The alpha answer in a whisper. ― Because I know how perfect you are to me, Theo.
Poor heart that accelerates intensely inside your chest. Theodore wanted to shrink and hide from the world the mixture of shyness and happiness that made up the blush of his face. Even trying to escape Gabriel's gaze, his smell had denounced the happiness felt contributing to reddish tones to his ears.
Finally, Theodore hid his face against Gabriel's pectoral hearing him laugh and feeling his long fingers caress his blonde hair. Maybe they had flowers coming out of them, because happiness was typically spring for that passionate omega.
— Did I embarrass you? ― Whispered the alpha, having Theodore nod his head. Lifting his chin with his fingertips, Gabriel admired that face taken by shyness ― I'll be a little selfish so I want to make you even more embarrassed.
Taking possession of Theodore's lips, Gabriel pressed the omega against his body again to feel that heat of yore. Feeling the blood pulsating at his fingertips, the omega reciprocated the kiss showing the other how much he wanted it.
The shy fingers went up the back of Gabriel's neck, attaching themselves to the threads pulling and caressing them as the kiss became deep. For lovers, that moment was as precious as the conversation they had. Not just to take the will to be together, but to feel it too.
Theodore was able to feel wanted by Gabriel. Even when his back leaned against the closet and his blouse raised so that the warm hands of the Alpha would touch his skin, Theodore was still considering the possibility of all this being a mere dream.
Gabriel's warm, moist tongue explored his mouth deliciously. Gasp against his lips and sigh in delight. When the alpha's thigh accidentally touched the erection that appeared between his legs, Theodore shivered completely.
― Gabriel, it is not good to stay here... ― Gasping the boy when he had his lips loose by the alpha.
― It was bad, Theo, but I won't wait. I can't do it anymore. ― Gabriel murmured, passing his wet lips through Theodore's lobe.
Her fingers pinched her nipple stiff and sensitive, and the mixture of exciting emotions only increased. If for Gabriel there was a limit to be crossed, then Theodore would too. Because he wanted it too, he had endured that one week repressing his own need.
Distributing saddles around Gabriel's neck, Theodore had dared to suck his skin off and nibble on it while scratching the alpha's back underneath his uniform shirt. Being able to feel each other's skin, the boys breathed deeply trying to cope with the sudden heat taking over their bodies. The touches were simple and curious, taking care not to end the game at that moment.
However, Theodore was already distressed. From the moment he smelled Gabriel on his shirt his body had reacted energetically. Having him in his arms kissing and touching him increased the excitement kept hidden in the fabric. When their bodies met, rubbing the erection, a groan escaped from the lips of the omega.
A groan that sounded like a plea.
Gabriel will soon open the zipper of the omega pants and hold his erection tightly. He caressed him enjoying the rolling of Theodore's eyes without taking the smile from his face. All the blonde could do was tremble in sheer excitement. Throw your head back and moan low trying to restrain yourself, watching that alpha jew him.
The mind was blank when he had Gabriel's mouth again next to his. An intense and thirsty kiss left his legs wobbly along with the caress he received. Theodore could only pull Gabriel closer and gasp against his mouth. He was completely weak with just that touch.
― It's all wet, Theo ― Whispering the alpha, spreading the liquid through the omega limb. ― I feel you pulsing for me.
Closing his eyes, Theodore sighed loudly covering his mouth to prevent his voice coming out louder. About to feel his apex arrive, Theodore held Gabriel's hand, aiming his bright eyes at the browns.
― Do not do this! ― He gasp, pushing the hand away from the alpha of his member.
― Why? Is something wrong?
Holding the alpha's wrist, Theodore pulled him into the pit lane, choosing the latter to enter. Pushing Gabriel into the box and being able to lock the door, the blonde turned to undress. Even if he were ashamed, he couldn't deny his own desires. Even if it sounded ridiculous, he would.
— I want you, Gabriel. ― Whispered the omega, throwing the shirt on the floor and then removing the pants. All under the watchful eye of the alpha. - Inside of me.
Adjusting his brown hair back, Gabriel opened a smile and began to take his own clothes.
― Asking so, I am weak in denying.
And when the pieces of clothing finally stopped being obstacles, the two boys touched each other feeling the warmth of each other. Resuming the point at which they had stopped, Gabriel had turned the omega back to himself against the wall, spreading saddles and nibbles all over his back, while preparing him for himself.
The body of the omega had lubricated naturally, draining the transparent liquid with the sweet smell between its legs saluting the alpha. It was enough for Gabriel to feel his instincts longing for Theodore. Just like him.
Theodore moaned loudly as he felt the volume slowly penetrate him, hoping to get used to it. The measly movement that had done with the hip off the signal for Gabriel to continue, starting the sensual dance inside that box.
It would be the first time Theodore dared to do something like that in places like that. And he wouldn't deny adding a good spark of excitement to the moment. But that would only prove that he had become addicted to Gabriel, being unable to bear not feeling him any longer.
As the coming and going increased and the rhythm established between the bodies, Theodore felt his body receive Gabriel with immense pleasure. Especially when a certain point had been reached, making him feel about to be torn in half in pleasure. Pain and desire were side by side.
His legs were wobbly when Gabriel had reached that point several times. Theodore would rise up against the body of the alpha and give himself completely to him. And when they finally reached the apex, their mind was completely blank just enjoying the wonderful sensations their body felt.
For the first time Theodore could understand what it was like to feel complete because of a person. Because of his soul mate.
