When Ciel went out of the bathroom, fully dressed, he saw Raffy sitting on his bed again. But unlike a moment ago, Raffy was not eating a banana fritter anymore and was just quietly sitting while staring and scrolling at his phone, which was abruptly stopped as well the moment he felt Ciel's stares on him.

“If you're going to ask for the banana fritter, I already ate it. Since it seems that you don't want it anymore anyway,” Raffy said when Ciel started walking towards the bed.

Ciel sat beside Raffy before dragging the table to be in front of him.

“How did you enter my room? As far as I remember, I locked my door,” Ciel asked, ignoring what Raffy had just said.

But Raffy seemed to not mind that at all and just answered Ciel's question. “The usual. I borrowed the spare key from Lala.”

“I already told you to stop doing that. Stop bothering Lala.”

“If you answered right away after I came knocking on your door while calling out your name, then I wouldn't have to bother Lala for the spare key. You got me worried.”

“I was in the bathroom, so I didn't hear you,” Ciel reasoned out, not minding anymore the fact that Raffy opened and came inside his room.

If it was the first time, Ciel would definitely be mad because, as he said, he values his privacy so much. But since it has happened too many times already and Ciel knew Raffy does not mean any harm and was only genuinely worried, though he was just being nosy most of the time, Ciel did not care anymore. Besides, Raffy is a beta, and that was more than enough for him to not be posed as a threat to a recessive omega like Ciel.

“I know that now,” Raffy answered and tried to take a piece of the banana fritter again, but before he could do so, Ciel had already caught his hand and slapped it, causing Raffy to whimper.

“Don't touch anything,” Ciel said while giving Raffy a warning and deadly stare, which made Raffy pout.

After that, Ciel gathered all the materials he needed in making a report, which includes a second-hand laptop that he bought using the money he had been saving since he was in high school, a USB, his notes, and a pen. And with all the things he needed already right in front of him, he finally started doing his report while simultaneously eating the banana fritters and drinking the soda.

Raffy was quiet for a few moments, which made Ciel feel glad as it made him focus on doing his report. But Raffy's silence did not last.

“Will you really not come with me to Andrew's party?” Raffy asked, breaking the silence.

“Yes,” Ciel immediately answered.

“Why? Because you don’t like going to parties? Because you don’t want to be in the same place where the alphas are in?”

Ciel did not answer anymore, making Raffy sigh.

“You know you can't do this forever, Ciel. You cannot keep avoiding alphas. It might be fine for now because we are still studying and your world is still limited, but what if you start working? Once you become a functioning citizen, you will certainly encounter alphas. What are you going to do by then?”

“I’ll cross the bridge when I get there,” Ciel answered nonchalantly.

“But it’s still better to be prepared and get used to it. And Andrew's party is the perfect start for you to slowly get used to being around alphas.”

“Still, no. I have a report to finish, Raffy, and you are well aware of how little free time I have. And I’d rather use this free time that I have in finishing my report than to go to that party, which wouldn’t benefit my grades.”

“If it’s your report, then I can help you. As a matter of fact, I can do your report on my own since I have a lot of free time anyway. You don’t have to worry about it. So, how about that? Would that be enough to make you come with me to Andrew’s party?”

“Can you also magically remove the existence of alphas in that party? If you can do that, then I’ll consider going with you.”

“Ciel!”

Ciel finally stopped writing his report to turn around and look at Raffy. “Just why do you want me to come with you so much? Is there anything you’re not telling me?” His voice was suspicious as he asked Raffy that question.

“No! There’s none! I just…” Raffy paused for a while and sighs before he continued to speak in a defeated voice. “I just want to do things with you that are normally done by friends. I want to hang out with you and have fun with you.”

“We’re already hanging out right now. And we’re always together during classes. What more hanging out do you want?” Ciel asked.

“Not this kind of hanging out! The kind of hanging out that I meant was going outside of this room and drinking and eating lots of food!”

“You know I’ve got no time for that.”

“Then, could you spare at least this day for me?”

“...”

“We will be busier next year, so going to these kinds of events would be much harder, Ciel. This might even be the last time we’re going to have the chance to attend such a party.”

“...”

“Just for tonight, please. And I promise not to bother you with something like this again till the end of this year. And we don't even have to stay very long. We can eat, stay for at least 30 minutes, and then leave. Let's just see what kinds of parties those pampered affluent alphas throw.”

“...”

“I won’t leave until you agree to go with me.”

“...”

“I swear I won’t be going anywhere, Ciel. I’ll keep bothering you here to the point that you won’t be able to concentrate on making your report. No matter what you say or do, I am not leaving this room—”

“Alright! Okay! I’m going with you!”

Raffy's eyes widened, and his face turned brighter. A smile slowly appeared on his face as well.

“Really?”

“You want me to take it back?”

“No!” Raffy immediately shouted, making Ciel roll his eyes.

Ciel knew Raffy better than anyone else. He knew Raffy would actually carry out his threats, and it would be very bothersome. And once it becomes so annoying, Ciel is likely to have no choice but to agree with Raffy. So, rather than wasting their time and saliva on something whose outcome appeared obvious, he chose to just agree to end the conversation. Besides, they’ll just have to stay in the party for at least thirty minutes. He could even go earlier than that.

‘Surely nothing will happen within those thirty minutes, right?’ Was what Ciel thought.

    Andrew's birthday party was hosted in one of the Martinez's three mansions, which Ciel and Raffy never expected to see in person because they had only seen pictures of it, yet they were already inside of it.Ciel and Raffy arrived for Andrew's birthday party about seven o'clock. It was still early, but the crowd was already packed, and Ciel had already seen a few people so drunk that they couldn't even stand on their own two feet, causing Ciel's face to wince.He had just arrived, but he already wanted to go home.“Wow. It's... loud,” Raffy said in amazement while looking around.The two of them were standing near the crowded swimming pool, and they were surrounded with drunk and tipsy people; some they were familiar with, and some were people they'd never met. Everyone around them was going wild.“So this is how rich people party,” Raffy muttered again as he was still not done looking around.“It’s so fucking loud,” Ciel replied in annoyance.“Of course it would be loud.

    “Maverick! You’re finally here!” Andrew exclaimed in excitement and gladness upon seeing Maverick making his way towards them. “What took you so long, man? The party has already started, and the guys have been waiting for you!” He asked after Maverick had finally arrived in front of him.“I had to settle some things,” Maverick answered in his usual cold and nonchalant tone, completely oblivious to how excited Andrew is with his arrival.“By settling some things... Do you mean settling your family, or your grandfather, to be more specific?" Andrew asked with one of his brows raised. Curiosity could also be heard in his voice as he asked that question.But the expression on Andrew’s face changed in an instant—his curiosity dissipating and nervousness took over—when Maverick's face darkened, an indication that he disliked the question that came out of Andrew's mouth.“Mind your own business, Andrew,” Maverick said in a colder tone, also accompanying it with his strong pheromones. And bec

    “Rather than just staring at me, how about you stop emitting your pheromones first and then apologize to us?”Ciel's voice was just as cold as his eyes, which stared at Maverick, who was meeting his eyes with still a nonchalant expression.“What did you just say?” Maverick asked in his usual cold voice.Ciel rolled his eyes.“So you're not only a selfish and arrogant bastard. You're also deaf—that or you're just plain stupid to comprehend a very simple sentence.”Another set of gasps of disbelief has erupted from the crowd. Even the omegas that were about to leave had stopped and turned to look at Maverick and Ciel, staring at every expression they were making and nervously waiting for what’s going to happen next.It isn’t the first time Maverick and Ciel have crossed paths and been at each other’s throats.For some reasons, the little omega, unlike the others who would even want to lick Maverick’s foot if given a chance, hated the dominant alpha so much. Although, to be fair, Ciel dis

    “Ciel!” Raffy exclaimed after Ciel that taunting remark.The beta wanted to stop his little omega friend from opening his mouth and saying another word that could get the both of them in trouble.They were already disliked by their fellow students, and Raffy does not want to worsen their already bad reputation. But as always, Ciel did not let him stop him.“I know that dominant alphas tend to be intelligent people, but I guess there's an exception to that. And that exception just happened to be right in front of me,” Ciel said again, a grin spreading across his face.There was no way such teasing remarks could make Ciel go flustered and speechless. He's heard a lot of insults and derogatory terms for simply being an omega that, as time passes, do not affect him anymore. Besides, it's not like Maverick was wrong about omegas being affected by alpha pheromones, so why did he think that would be enough to make Ciel mad and lose his patience?Instead of losing his patience, Maverick's tea

    “Just how shameless is he to still stay here after creating such commotion?”“I know, right? What a thick-skinned rascal.”“We should keep an eye on him. Because what if he causes another commotion? Another trouble? And much worse at that? I mean, anyone who is in their right mind wouldn’t think of staying after causing a scene, would they? Yet he’s still here. So he must be planning something against Maverick.”“Do you think he's planning to seduce them?”“Ha! Even if he does try, it would still be a waste. Have you both forgotten how many dominant omegas tried to seduce Maverick and yet none of them succeeded? So what made you think that a recessive omega like that loser would be able to do so? Also, it was clear as the day that Maverick dislikes him.”Ciel rolled his eyes as he listened to the group of people talking behind him. It's not that he was intentionally listening to them. It was clear that the women were intentionally making their voice louder for him to hear. They might h

    "No. It's my way of saying, 'I hate you so much I want to crush your balls,' Ciel replied to Maverick before pushing the alpha away with all his strength until he finally got rid of Maverick's hand that was around his waist and got out of his grasp.Ciel then stepped away from Maverick so fast as if Maverick had a contagious disease and he didn't want to be affected. And in a tone as if he were scolding a child, he told Maverick, "Next time, be aware of your surroundings and don't just suddenly pop out of nowhere. You've almost got me into an accident. What are you going to do if I fall and hit my head on the floor?"Maverick gaped at Ciel, speechless, and different emotions filled his face—amazement, amusement, and bewilderment.After a few moments, Maverick was finally able to find his voice and replied, "First of all, it's you who should be aware of your surroundings. Why are you running in a place that is not yours and you're not familiar with? Second, why are you making it sound

    After seeing Andrew and Raffy, it was only then that Ciel remembered what he was about to do before crashing into Maverick. He remembered he was about to get Raffy and force the beta to leave the party with him and go home."What are you guys doing here?" Andrew asked, his gaze kept switching between Ciel and Maverick, but he got no answer from the two.Ciel did not answer because he was only focused on Raffy, while Maverick didn't bother to answer as he believed that he didn't owe Andrew any explanation about what he was doing.When Andrew realized that he wouldn't get an answer from the two, he switched to another topic and said, "Nevermind that. Since we found you guys, come along and drink with us. Everyone's having fun already, and we can't let you two miss out on all that! Come on, let's go drink and party with the others!" And without waiting for Ciel and Maverick's answer, Andrew had already started making his way towards the main hall, still dragging Raffy with him.Maverick

    Everyone looked at Maverick with astonishment, surprise, and disbelief as he carried the still-sleeping Ciel to Andrew's room, his jaw still clenched.There was no question that posts and photos of Maverick and Ciel would start circulating in just a few minutes, and Ciel would definitely put up a fuss once he learned that, but Maverick didn't care.He'd rather let Ciel curse him or even slap him than to leave him by himself and give the other alphas, especially Andrew, a chance to do something to the little omega."That bastard," Maverick muttered, referring to Andrew as a bastard. "He was surely planning something."When Maverick knew that Andrew had specifically invited Ciel and his beta friend, it was too late for him to intervene. If he had known sooner, he could have warned Andrew not to do anything shady, as Andrew inviting Ciel, an omega, was more than enough to indicate that he was undoubtedly planning something wicked. And, because he couldn't do anything to keep Ciel from at

    As always, Maverick's face and voice were filled with so much sincerity, making it hard for him to not believe him—not that he's doubting him; he couldn't even remember when was the last time he doubted him. It's just that it always amazes him whenever Maverick says something with all sincerity. Well, it wasn't just amazement or happiness anymore. Ciel was already feeling something more, such as lust...?Ciel laughed inwardly. He never thought he would be feeling lust or get turned on simply because Maverick was being sincere. But damn, he really wanted to do it with Maverick. And well, he was also thinking that having sex with Maverick would help him forget everything he was feeling. The anger, the frustration, and the sadness—he didn't want to feel all of that. And what's the best way to not feel anything besides those said emotions? Of course it's sex."Wanna have sex?" Ciel asked even before he could think of what he just said. Still, he didn't want to take it back.Maverick looke

    Ciel did not say anything for a while and just stared at Maverick. It was obvious that he was contemplating whether he should do what Maverick advised him to do or not. But after a few more moments, he finally decided on what to do.Ciel rose from his lying position and sat down, grabbing his phone off the table in front of the couch. While he was tapping on his phone for Raffy's number, Maverick sat down and snuggled closer to Ciel, wrapping his arms around Ciel's waist once more.Ciel dialed Raffy's number, turned on the loudspeaker of his phone, then leaned his body against Maverick while waiting for his best friend to answer the call.It took more than three rings before Raffy answered his call."Hey!" Raffy said."Hey," Ciel said right back, sounding a little unsure."Did you forget something in my car? I am still quite near Maverick's house, so I can turn back if you want.""No. That's not it," Ciel responded before sighing. "Can you stop driving for a while and park somewhere s

    Raffy stopped his car right in front of Maverick's house. Ciel unfastened his seatbelt and grabbed his wallet and his phone from the dashboard.Ciel should be getting out of the car already, but he couldn't as he still wanted to ask Raffy something. The problem was, he wasn't sure if it would be a good question. He doesn't want Raffy to be mad anymore, especially since their relationship was already back to how it was before and also because he will be leaving. He didn't want Raffy to leave the country with their friendship in shambles again.As if the beta had sensed that something was troubling him, Raffy chuckled and said, "Just say what you want to say, Ciel."As if that was all Ciel was waiting for, he fully faced Raffy and said, "I know I already asked you about this, and you might get annoyed already, but I need to be really sure. Is your decision really final? Is there nothing that could really change your mind about going to the US and being with that asshole?"Raffy smiled.

    "Maverick."The way Maverick clasped his hand went tighter, and his jaws were clenching."Maverick."His icy cold gaze has turned fiery, and his strong, heavy, and uncontrolled pheromones started to spread, making the three people in front of him go breathless despite being betas. But Maverick didn't care about them. He was already consumed with so much anger that he stopped caring about his surroundings."Maverick!"Ah, he really wanted to beat them up or kill them. He wanted them to experience what Ciel had been through, or make them go through worse. And he was very close to actually doing that as his patience was already very close to splitting. But just when that patience was about to split, he felt a heavy and very strong blow on his face that made him lose his balance. And the next thing he knew, he was already on the floor with an aching and throbbing cheek.As if he had just woken up from a trance, he looked at his father, who was standing right in front of him and was breath

    "Can I handle this?" Maverick asked his father and grandfather when the two were about to move towards the chairs in front of the three people that were tied in their own seats.Marcus and Matthew looked at him for a while, and in that duration, only seriousness but calmness at the same time could be seen in Maverick's face, as if he was telling his father and grandfather that he was angry at the sight of the three people but not angry enough for him to lose his mind and start committing murder."Alright," Marcus said. "But we will stay just to be sure you won't lose control.""I won't, but suit yourselves," Maverick answered before taking the seat in the center, not waiting for his father and grandfather anymore.Marcus and Matthew said nothing and just followed Maverick, taking the seats that were situated on each side of the seat Maverick was sitting on.Maverick intently stared at the three people in front of him. He was staring at the three people as if he wanted to see even the

    Maverick's face was dark as he walked across the hallway of the abandoned warehouse that his grandfather owns. He was on his way to the office room, where his grandfather and father were waiting for him.The moment he reached the front of the closed door of the office, he only knocked once just to let the two be aware of his presence, and after that, he pushed the door open, gathering the attention of his grandfather, who was, of course, sitting behind his office table, and his father, who was sitting in the chair that was in front of the office table."Hi, Dad," he said as he went inside and closed the door, then looked at his grandfather and nodded. "Grandpa.""You are a couple of minutes late, Maverick," Matthew strictly said. One of the many things Matthew hates is tardiness, which was why Maverick could understand why his father was giving him the stinky eyes. He just ignored it, though, as he took the seat across from Matthew."I had to make sure Ciel was safe first before I cam

    "Are you sure you'll be fine by yourself?"Ciel couldn't help but roll his eyes at the alpha's eighth time of asking him the same question.After tying his shoes, Ciel finally stood again and made his way towards Maverick. He put his hands on the alpha's shoulders and then said in a firm voice. "To answer your question for the eighth time, yes, I am going to be fine.""But—""It's Raffy I am going to meet, Maverick. Not my parents, my brothers, not Andrew, or some creepy asshole. It's just my best friend, Raffy. So, stop worrying now, okay?""Yeah, but the news about you and your family is all over town, baby. What if people see you and recognize you? What if they start mobbing or attacking you, or something? What if you get hurt—hmp!Maverick's eyes widened due to utter surprise at Ciel's sudden attack on his lips. But as always, the surprise didn't last, and before he knew it, he was already kissing Ciel back with his arms wrapped around the little omega while slowly grinding his ha

    It was quite a while before Ciel spoke again, and when he did, what he asked was, "Did you put something in my heart or in my brain?"Maverick looked confused. "What?""Like a listening device? Or maybe you're using an EQ-radio? A sensor or something else?"Maverick looked flabbergasted this time. "What? I... I don't understand what you're talking about. Why would I use those on you?""Then can you explain to me how you can easily tell what's on my mind or what I am feeling?" Ciel asked in a serious voice.Maverick continued to look confused until a few moments later. A laugh escaped his mouth as he pressed his forehead against Ciel, and then he whispered, "That's because I love you." His voice was filled with nothing but tenderness, making Ciel feel how much he meant every single word.Ciel wanted to suppress his smile, but in the end, he couldn't. Maverick just responded to his question with "I love you," and yet that seemed to be enough, or maybe more than sufficient enough, as an

    "Coffee, juice, or cola?""Coffee.""With rice or without rice?""With rice.""Reading or watching?""Reading.""Studying or partying?"Ciel rolled his eyes. "Do you really still need to ask me that? Of course, studying!""Still studying?" Maverick asked in disappointment. "And here I thought that bringing you to a bar would somehow make you change your mind.""No matter how many times you take me into a bar, I will still choose studying. Bar hopping and partying won't secure my future, dude.""But being with me would secure your future.""So you're going to be like my sugar daddy?""Sugar daddy? I'm not that old to be called a sugar daddy. A sponsor would be the appropriate word, I think."Ciel shook his head before gazing at the ceiling with a small smile on his lips. "Whatever, Maverick.""But you're not opposed to the idea of being with me, huh?"Ciel frowned and looked at the dominant alpha again. "What?""You did not deny it when I said your future would be secured if you're wit
