"I will," was Maverick's answer to Maximino's question with a firm and determined voice, which took aback the couple.

'These two are definitely not good at keeping their promises,' Maverick silently thought as the two's reaction clearly told him that they really doubted him.

He wanted to question the two about their reaction, but he chose not to as it would only prolong the topic about their distrust of him, which he doesn't want. Instead, he decided to continue what he wanted to say.

"But only if that's what Ciel really wanted," he looked at the two with one of his brows raised. "You don't expect me to just give up like this, right?"

Nexus finally spoke again and asked, "So you'll court and woo him?"

"Yes, but in a calmer way. Like a silent wooing and courting."

Maximino and Nexus's foreheads creased. They looked totally confused at Maverick's answer.

"What?" they asked in unison.

"I already confessed to him, but I got rejected and was told that he didn't want to hear such words from

    With a feeling as if something heavy was being put on top of him, Ciel drowsily opened his eyes. His eyesight was so blurry at first that he had to blink a couple of times until it finally got clearer. The first thing that he saw when his vision became clear was the white ceiling. After that, he started looking around the spacious room and everything inside it. He then realized that he was still in the room where Maverick brought him in a while ago.Ciel went back to staring at the ceiling. The memories of what happened before he lost his consciousness started popping up. He started remembering how he went into heat, how he took the initiative to kiss Maverick, and how he gave Maverick the permission to help him. He also remembered Maverick’s promise, and he also clearly remembered what kind of help Maverick had offered him.Unlike what he thought and what his body needed at that moment, Maverick did not go all the way with him. Maverick did everything to please Ciel—kissing his lips

    Ciel slowly and gently got down from the bed, and with light steps, he made his way towards the door, which was not closed properly, causing the voices from the outside to be heard on the inside.Ciel leaned on the door as slowly and quietly as he could and then took a peek on the outside.Since the guest room was just on the right side of the living room, Ciel was able to see the three people sitting and talking in the living room right away.It was Nexus, Maximino, and Maverick.Nexus and Maximino were sitting side by side, while Maverick was on the opposite side and facing the married couple, with his back facing Ciel's vision.The three seemed to be in a serious conversation, and for some reason, Ciel immediately thought that the conversation they were having had something to do with him.Since he was now a bit near where the three were sitting, their voices became audible enough for Ciel to understand what they were saying.Ciel knew that eavesdropping was not good, but his curio

    It took a couple of minutes—until the phone finally stopped ringing—before the two had finally gotten over the surprising meeting of their gazes. And once they both did, Maverick immediately stood, while Ciel quickly took a step back and closed the door, acting as if he was a criminal who got caught committing a crime.Ciel leaned his back on the closed door, his eyes open wide because of surprise. It was only then he realized that his heart had been beating so fast as if he was in a marathon. Whether it was because of shock upon being caught or because of what he had heard, Maverick wasn’t sure. The only thing he was sure of at that moment was that he didn’t want to face any of the three people in the living room.Ciel turned his head to look at his phone on the bedside table, his eyes as sharp as a newly sharpened knife.‘Why did the phone have to ring at the wrong moment?’ And with that thought, Ciel made his way towards the bedside table and grabbed his phone. He looked at it in i

    Ciel had to gulp several times and then cleared his throat before he finally answered Maverick’s voice with a straight face, wanting so badly to look like he didn’t mind, that he didn’t care that he was caught eavesdropping.“Yeah.” He was answering curtly so that his feeling of embarrassment wouldn’t be visible. But that seemed to not work as Maverick could still see and feel his discomfort.Maverick nodded. “Then would you like to go home now? Or would you like to stay a little bit to—”“I want to go home,” Ciel immediately said, not letting Maverick finish his sentence anymore.Of course he wanted to go home right away. That’s the thing he wanted to do the most right at that moment. If he could, he would even sprint towards the door right away without bothering to look at Nexus and Maximino anymore. But that would be impossible, wouldn't it?“Alright,” Maverick said, fully understanding what Ciel was feeling, which also made him not confront Ciel yet about what he had heard from hi

    It had been ten minutes since Ciel and Maverick left Nexus and Maximino’s coffee shop, which was the married couple’s home as well, and drove the road, but none of them had tried speaking to each other.Ciel, as usual, didn’t want to talk to Maverick unless it was something important and urgent, so he busied himself with playing games on his phone since he already got bored staring at the window. As for Maverick, the reason why the dominant alpha was not talking to Ciel was because his head was still filled with the last thing that happened before they left Salvador's place—Ciel smiled, and it’s a genuine one at that, making Maverick ask himself over and over again about what he should do just to receive that same genuine smile from Ciel again. Yes, again. Because he had already received such a smile before, but it was only once, and it never happened again, making Maverick crave it. But no matter how many times and how long Maverick pondered about it, he still couldn’t find the answe

    "You already knew he was an omega, right? And that he was marked and married." Maverick wasn't able to cover the bitterness and a bit of jealousy in his voice as he said that.Ciel, who did not bother to stop playing the game, rolled his eyes again for the hundredth time. "I don't like him romantically, you jerk. I just like him as a fellow omega.""Really?" Maverick asked, wanting to be sure. But Ciel did not bother to answer him and clicked his tongue instead, an indication that he disliked how Maverick sounded like he didn't believe him.Maverick immediately understood what Ciel's reaction meant. He also understood that Ciel also meant what he said—that he doesn't like Nexus in a romantic way, and that made his sour mood turn into a good mood in an instant. The jealousy and bitterness he was feeling? It was all gone, as if he did not even feel those in the first place.Because of Ciel's confirmation on what kind of 'like' he has for Nexus, talking about Nexus has started to become

    "Ciel—""Drop me off at the next bus station." Ciel doesn't want to talk about Nexus anymore, so he immediately changed the topic before Maverick could even try persisting with him again.A deep sigh came out of Maverick's mouth. The dominant alpha clearly still had a lot of words he wanted to say but was holding back."If you're thinking about going to your part-time job by bus, then you better drop that thought now. I will drive you there myself. Is it the same place where I drove you last time?""I'll take the bus." Ciel's voice became firm again, a sign that he's not open for negotiation, making Maverick sigh again, but in frustration this time.Damn, both of them couldn't even count anymore how many times they had already sighed in just that same day.Ciel was confident that Maverick wouldn't persist anymore. After all, how many times had Maverick given up on things he wanted to do and just did what Ciel wanted because he didn't want the little omega to be mad at him? And Ciel wa

    As usual, Ciel left the convenience store at exactly ten o'clock, though he was a bit faster this time.He could feel that his co-worker, who was about to take his shift, had a lot of questions to ask him, just like his previous co-worker, so before he got bombarded by another series of questions again, he immediately bid goodbye and exited the convenience store as if someone was chasing him.Ciel was briskly walking with his head down, afraid that people would recognize him. And thankfully, he was already near the bus stop, and no one has recognized him yet, making him feel somewhat less nervous.Just a few more steps and Ciel would already reach the bus stop.A few minutes after that, Ciel stopped walking as he would have to cross the street since the bus stop was on the other side. The little omega was already about to cross when a car suddenly honked, causing the little omega to come to a halt.The car was getting close to him, and as it was getting close, the more Ciel started to

    Aside from Cian’s apology, Cian had also informed Ciel about their family’s current situation and well-being, even though he did not ask for it. Hell, he was not interested in hearing anything about his family and the aftermath of his press conference—at least not yet. That was the reason why he tried so hard to not turn on the TV or open his phone for a week whenever he was not having sex with Maverick. He was not yet prepared to know how his press conference turned out. He wasn’t ready yet for the aftermath of it because, honestly, he was scared. He feared that despite opening his heart to the public and allowing them to see his fragile past, it still won’t be enough for them to take his side. Of course there was also the possibility of that press conference being successful, but the fear and negativity he was feeling were still bigger than the positivity.Ciel actually thought that hearing about his family’s status and well-being wouldn’t affect him that much and that the opinions

    Ciel was scowling as he stared at his phone. He had been staring at it for more than fifteen minutes now, reading the same messages from his twin brother over and over again. Actually, fifteen minutes was a lie. He actually had been staring at his phone since he got from Cian an hour ago."What the—"He gave Maverick his deathly and sharp stare when his boyfriend took his phone away.Boyfriend.Damn, that still sounded and felt surreal for him. Never in his dreams did he even imagine himself liking Maverick and dating him. He thought he would end up hating the guy until his last breath, and yet here he was, not wanting to be far from his alpha and wanting to be as close to him as possible. It's honestly how far his feelings and his attitude had changed.And now back to the phone that was taken away from him, he tried to take it back, but before his hand could even touch Maverick, the alpha had already retreated to his room, and when he came back, the phone was no longer in his hand."

    "I want to talk about us."Maverick was surprised. Those were the last words he was expecting to come out of Ciel at that moment. Which was why he got speechless and was only staring at Ciel, who was becoming anxious the longer he kept quiet."Are you not...going to say anything?" Ciel asked after a while, sounding nervous.It took a couple of minutes before Maverick finally stopped being surprised and found his voice. With the gentlest voice he could use, he told Ciel while lovingly caressing his cheek, "We don't have to talk about it right now, baby.”But Ciel immediately shook his head. The little omega then grasped both of his hands and held on to them tightly while looking into his eyes with full determination. "No. I have to say it now before I lose confidence again and start chickening out."Maverick looked into Ciel's eyes intently, and upon seeing the determination and the certainty in the little omega's face, he had no choice anymore but to listen to what Ciel wanted to tell

    "I missed this."Those words coming from Ciel were like music to Maverick's ears, and his heart was bursting with so much happiness and love. And those emotions could be clearly seen on his face as he was smiling widely and radiantly."Me too," he softly said before kissing the top of Ciel's head.Ciel tilted his head a little to look at him. And in the softest voice he had ever heard from the little omega, he asked, "You do?"Maverick was still smiling as he nodded. "Yes."Ciel just hummed before looking down again."Why do I have this feeling that you don't believe me?" Maverick asked.Ciel said nothing, and that made Maverick frown. He gently pushed Ciel a bit, which Ciel did not appreciate. But Maverick doesn't care and just makes Ciel face him instead. With his hands on Ciel's cheeks, he asked again, "Do you really not believe me?"But instead of his question being answered, he was asked instead. “Can you blame me? You weren't talking to me this morning.” Ciel was pouting, and hi

    Ciel couldn't take his eyes off of Rosie and Maverick, but more specifically on Maverick as the two conversed with each other.Maverick seemed to be having a good time while talking with Rosie, and that didn't sit right with Ciel.Of course he was well aware that he shouldn't be feeling like that. Maverick was only talking with Rosie, his cousin, and no one else, so he shouldn't be pissed or anything, but he was. He was pissed.He was pissed that Maverick was able to talk to Rosie happily while he was feeling like shit. He was pissed that instead of coming to him to apologize, which Maverick had been doing for days now, he was putting a distance between them instead—alright, that might be unfair for him to say that because he was the one putting a distance between them and Maverick seemed to be just respecting it, but still... He just wanted Maverick to come to him and tell him that everything's going to be okay and that he will always be there for him no matter what. He just needs Ma

    It has been three days since Maverick and Ciel argued about asking help from a mental health professional, and since then, the two have never had a decent conversation. Even now that the day of the press conference has arrived, the two were still not on good terms, and every single member of the Garcia family can see it. They could also feel the uncomfortable tension between the two, and it's quite suffocating them as they were all inside a room, waiting until the press conference starts.Maverick and Ciel were so far away from each other. Maverick was sitting on the couch that was situated near the window that was on the very opposite side of the couch that was near the door, where Ciel was sitting on.Maverick's eyes never went away from Ciel the moment they got inside the room. He never looked away even if Ciel was giving him deadly glares every time their eyes met."He's going to melt, Maverick," says Rosie before sitting down beside him. "Just what did you do for him to be sendin

    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.
