Alex got back to his office on autopilot, barely registering his surroundings. It felt like his head was stuffed with cotton wool and his shoes were ten-ton weights.
Files on the table, body into desk chair. Alex was stared blankly at his computer monitor until there was a soft knock on the door and Ash his ex mate poked his head in.
“My files?” he asked, smiling at Alex.
It was like a knife to the heart, knowing that smile was a lie.
Knowing his mate whom Alex want to spend life with is playing with his heart beacuse of someone.
“On the table,” Alex managed to say.
Ash practically bounced over there, closing the door behind himself. He made appreciative noises as he opened the files and hummed happily as he start reading everything.
The burning plastic smell was gone, but his familiar mint-and-pine scent was suspiciously absent as well. He must have been wearing blockers. That was really the only w
Flashback about Win & Sam before graduation:-“Just a few more days and you'll be off to college. And then we both going to peruse our dreams” Win ask to his mate, both of them a lazy around. Everything is going fine in Win's life, he got a beautiful mate like Sam and he get back his brother.But Ash is behaving wired these days, maybe he is not well.“Yeah, but I’ll be back for breaks. To meet you, you know it's my dream to study in music University and be a part of some band” Sam answer him with smile."It'll be months." Win ask again."Hmm..."Win doesn’t say for a while, “I’ll miss you.”Sam turns his head slightly to look at Win who is lying beside him. Things are going to change. It doesn’t matter how much he tells himself that they will remain the same. They won't.He just hope their nothing will get wrong, yes he love his dream but for S
Alex was sitting. He had a plastic bag filled with chocolate and candy's, and he was sitting...on the ground, apparently. He had the vague notion that he was waiting for something, but he couldn’t recall what.This will always happen when he drank to much coffee. His head is hurting like hell but he still want his answer.He want to know who is Ash new lover and if Ash really move-on why hr didn't break their bond and why the hell he tell Alex fuck him three years ago.Is because he want to take revenge, but Alex know his Ash, he is not a cheater.But Alex already accused him for cheating his lover already.“Dad, who is that?”At the sound of the childish voice, Alex looked up and found Ash standing just a short distance away. He had grocery bags in one hand, and the other hand was clutched around a much smaller one. Beside him
Alex would really like a kiss his mate, but he was also content with this – with being allowed to touch his Ash, with being near him, with getting to look at his beloved face.Suddenly, Ash was standing, pulling away from Alex, which was absolutely unacceptable. He started to whine in protest, but then Ash got his hands underneath Alex arms and levered him to standing as well, so that was fine.“If you scare my kid or throw up in my house, I’m tossing you out on your ass. Got it?” Ash said, with a growl that was only half bite.Alex hummed in acknowledgement and stumbled over the ten steps to the front door. Ash had to help him with his shoes. Together, they got Alex to the daybed in the living room, where Ash unceremoniously dumped him and declared, “I’ll get you water and a blanket. Don’t go wandering.”He left. Alex felt bereft with him gone, but he
As soon as Monika was gone, Ash gaze turned to Alex, who swallowed heavily and tried not to shake too noticeably. “If I’d known,” he said, still stuck on Adom is my son, “nothing could have stopped me from coming back to you.”"Do you remember when I told you about one surprise before I leave for my university?"Ash asked to him in cold tone which make Alex gulp."Yea""I am pregnant that time but I don't want to tell you because you have your own duties to. After you didn't came I go to see him by myself but ofcourse I can't find you.""Ash, I am sorry"."If it's not not my son Alex, I don't even want to see your face".Ash scent soured. It wasn’t the harsh burning-plastic smell just yet, but more like vinegar, sad and a little wry. “So I wasn’t enough on my own, is that what you’re saying?”“No, that’s not what I–” Alex scrubbed his hands thro
With a sigh, Ash turned to stare up at the ceiling. He mumbled, "They sound stupid now.""Yeah, so do mine," Alex agreed, and then decided that Ash looked comfy and copied him, lying flat on the daybed and staring at the unremarkable concrete ceiling. He didn't know where they stood just yet. If Ash was still angry, Alex wouldn't blame him. Alex had told him that he'd be back on some months, and then he didn't come home for seven - six, in Ash perception.And in the meantime, Ash had had to raise their son alone, apparently convinced that Alex had found a new family in the other and wasn't planning to come back.Ash heard to Sam, how Ash always go to his old pack house to see him. When Alex told Sam to call his mate and say those things, Sam was angry. He don't want to do all those things but Alex beg him which he never did.How Alex wish to kill his father, how he wish he can publish him but it's no
Alex swallowed thickly. “You told him about me? He know he got one more parent?”“Well, what was I supposed to do? Most of the other kids at preschool have more than one parent, of course he was going to ask,” Ash grumbled. He crossed his arms over his chest defensively and still wouldn’t quite meet Alex eyes. But his scent hadn’t soured, had just sort of gotten weaker, so he wasn’t mad, just...embarrassed, Alex guessed.So he took mercy on Ash and let it rest. It was enough to know that Ash hadn’t pretended like he didn’t exist. He hoped Ash had told Adom good things about him, and maybe at some point he would ask, but for now...it was enough.But Alex is really excited to meet his son, to hug him and kiss him. Adom look really precious and he is exact copy of Ash, even Ash denied this.He reached out and curled his fingers around Ash wrist, stro
"What the hell is wrong with your family? I am going to kill your grandfather" Ash hiss which make Alex smile tiny."Well he is dead already,"Alex massage his temper awkwardly when Ash gare him again"And what about letters, who send letter to Man, why the fuck he didn't show me your letters. Why everyone doing this to our realtionship, do they think it's funny?".“What?” Alex said, brow furrowing further. “I sent them. They definitely sent to Man. I can't send you directly beacuse of my grandfather, not even Allen he know him to but Man. Grandfather don't know much about him.” He reached into his pocket for hs phone, showing Ash his writing pad where he write a soft copy before sending hardcopy to man, and the long series of letter he’d sent to Ash, just like Alex told him.Ash took the phone, scrolling with wide eyes, and then
It wasn’t until they were finished eating and had started clearing the dishes that Alex said, “I’m sorry. For thinking you would do that to me. I even talk bad about our own son”Ash shook his head. “I’m sorry I didn’t make things clear sooner.” He looked down at Adom, who was carefully stacking his own bowls, and Alex then back up at Ash. “I’m sorry you had to raise him alone. I am sorry I am not here when you are in pain.”Ash eyes were suspiciously shiny. He huffed a little, and then visibly decided to make a joke out of it, saying, “You’re right. Adom, what do you say we let Papa take care of the dishes today? He has seven years to make up for.”“Okay, okay,” Alex said, laughing. He got a kiss from Ash as he passed to collect Adom from his chair, so it was worth it. Alex would gladly do the dishes every day for the rest of his life as long as Ash was beside
