Three days had passed, but Claire had yet to come to school. Fein could only stare at the empty chair not far from where he was. Although he was relieved not to hear the teenager's screams for three days, but there was a feeling of loss when Claire was not there.
"How long will he be absent from school?" he muttered.
Later that evening, when Fein was having dinner with his parents. He noticed that both parents were busy with their work on their respective cell phones.
"Pa... Ma..." she called out.
Fein's parents immediately turned to their only child and asked what was wrong. At first Fein was hesitant to ask this, but finally he asked it too.
"How long does it take for an Omega to get their heat?" he asked.
Hearing their son's question, the two of them immediately exchanged confused glances and then his mama answered.
"I don't know, you know I'm a Beta, right? Your father is also an Alpha, so there's no way we would know."
"Right, things like that are also only learned by Omegas at school. Alpha and Beta don't get special lessons like that," Fein's father replied.
"That's right." Fein went back to focusing on his dinner after not getting any answers.
"So is there an Omega in heat approaching you at school?"
Fein answered no, he was just curious about it. There was a classmate who had been absent for a few days due to heat and he thought it had been a while.
"I see... I just want to say, if there is an Omega in heat, you must be careful. Even though I'm a Beta, I know that an Alpha can get rut if he gets close to an Omega in heat. That would be dangerous."
"What your mama said is true. Omega can also be very aggressive when in heat, they can influence an Alpha to mate with them," Felix said, adding to his wife's words.
"Has Papa ever been like that? When you are close to an Omega in heat, do you also get rut?"
Felix laughed at his son's question. He explained that he was a strong Alpha and could withstand the sweet pheromones of an Omega in heat.
"Papa is not easily affected by that and you should train yourself not to be easily affected as well. If you do get it, try to distract yourself. Like hurting your own arm."
"Hey, why did you teach Fein something like that?" protested Kai while elbowing her husband's arm.
"It's much better than him losing control, isn't it? It's dangerous if he gets someone pregnant, right?"
"T-that's right... You don't usually give the right advice."
Felix shook his head softly at his wife's words.
"Do I often give weird advice? But Papa's advice, if you still want to keep mating, use protection."
"Felix!" snapped Kai irritably pinching Felix's arm hard.
After finishing talking about many things and eating dinner, Fein went to his room to rest. It was still nine o'clock at night, he usually went to bed at eleven. Fein opened his cell phone and searched for the heat of an Omega.
It was seen on the internet, that an Omega would heat for 3 to 7 days. That meant Claire had already been in heat for three days. He could return to school tomorrow or the day after. "I think he's too comfortable at home to forget about school," Fein said.
He put down his cell phone and looked up at the ceiling of his room, thinking about what his parents had said earlier. He suddenly thought of something that bothered him quite a bit.
"If Claire and Dior are always together... There's a possibility that when Claire was in heat, Dior was there, right? If he's there... He could have gotten rut and they..."
In his mind's, he imagined that Claire and Dior would eventually get together and Claire would go away from Fein. Fein frowned in displeasure. But what could he really do? He couldn't always be with Claire, because that guy didn't like him.
"Dislike, doesn't mean he hates right?"

The next day when Fein had just arrived in class and placed his bag on the desk. He heard the female students welcoming someone who had just come to class. When he turned around, it turned out that Claire had already come back to school.
"Claire, it's been so long since you came in. I missed you so much!" Lucy said to him.
"Oh? Ahahaha... Thank you. I caught a fever a few days ago, so I was advised to stay home to rest," Claire replied as he smiled at the girls.
'He just came today and already spreading charm...' Fein commented to himself.
Not long after, a green-haired student immediately approached Claire and embraced his familiarly. "You finally came in too, Claire! I've been so lonely without you at school."
'It's him again,' commented Fein again who was annoyed to see him.
"Really? But thank you for often coming to bring me notes," said Claire then approached Dior's ear. "Thanks for the snacks, too," he whispered.
Dior smiled happily at that from Claire. He kept his arm around the man and walked to Claire's table. When Claire passed Fein's chair, he briefly glanced at the man. Their eyes met each other.
It had been three days since he had seen the man. However, he immediately turned his slightly flushed face away as he remembered touching himself while remembering Fein when his heat was flaring up.
'DAMN IT! Why am i come face to face with him! How embarrassing--' he complained to himself.
Fein, who realized it, felt that something was wrong with Claire. He stood up and approached Claire's desk. The silver-haired student had just put down his bag and sat on his chair while chatting with Dior. However, Fein's arrival brought their conversation to a halt.
Claire reflexively averted his eyes from Fein. "What are you here for?"
"Nothing. I thought you were too comfortable at home to even remember coming to school anymore," Fein said as he folded his arms in front of his chest.
"If I'd rather be at home, what does that have to do with you?"
The purple-haired man gave a small smile that was actually teasing Claire. "If you don't go to school, who can I bother?"
Hearing Fein's words, Claire immediately turned his head with an annoyed look. He felt annoyed that Fein was asking because he just wanted to annoy him.
"If your intention is just to annoy Claire, you'd better leave. Don't be mean, Fein!" threatened Dior.
Fein's heterochromatic eyes glanced at Dior without saying anything, he just looked Dior up and down and then back at Claire.
"It's good that you finally came in. My toy is healthy again." Fein's hand lightly patted Claire's head then he left.
Claire just stood still when Fein touched him. Somehow there was a different feeling between Dior and Fein when touching him. And the touch felt like something he missed. However, Claire immediately dismissed all those strange feelings.
'What the... What the hell is that?!'
