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

    The two sat in the living room, facing each other, and had a serious look on both of their faces."I'll start asking—""Before that," Maverick cut Ciel again, making the little omega's face turn sour, but Maverick was not bothered by it and just went on speaking. "I know you're still pissed, but I want the both of us to talk about this with a clear head. What I'm about to tell you is something that should be taken seriously, as it could possibly change your future, and most importantly, it could save your life. So please, Ciel, let's calm down, alright? Just like the last time we had a conversation in this same living room, let's converse in a more peaceful and calmer manner." Maverick's voice was soft and gentle, making it look like he was talking to a kid and not to Ciel, who was already an adult.Although Ciel was still annoyed, he couldn't deny that Maverick was right. Talking in a peaceful manner was definitely something they should do if it involved his future and his life.Ciel

    Ciel had already given up on wanting to know what Maverick was talking about. If it's something very important, then he doesn't need to know it.But then Maverick raised his head to meet his eyes. And there goes that smile again.Ciel silently chastised himself. 'Be still, you stupid heart. Why are you even reacting like that? It was just his damn usual smile! Ah, damn this bond! I really need to do something about this! I can't be acting like this all the time whenever Maverick does something!'“I’m sorry. I got lost in my own thoughts,” Maverick said in a soft voice.Ciel, disregarding the abnormal beating of his heart, replied, “It’s fine. And you don’t have to answer my question if you don’t want to. I understand that it’s confidential, so it’s fine if you don’t tell me.”Maverick raised his brow. “Didn’t you tell me that I have to answer all of the questions that you’ll throw at me?” Amusement was dancing in Maverick’s eyes as he asked that question.“Well, let's just say that I

    Ciel had already stopped crying, and yet he remained leaning on Maverick while taking in the scent of his pheromones.Ciel knew himself that he was acting differently. If it were the usual Ciel, he would have already gotten away from Maverick or pushed him away. Hell, he wouldn’t even allow him to hug him and surround him with his pheromones.He doesn't exactly know what the reason was; it might be because of Maverick's pheromones, or it could be the words that touched his heart, but Ciel didn't want to separate himself from Maverick yet.There were warning signs popping in his head, but he chose to disregard them all because the beating of his heart was much louder than those warning signs, and the comfort brought by Maverick's warm embrace and pheromones was definitely stronger than his resolve to listen to what his mind was telling him.Ciel closed his eyes. And without even him realizing it, he was already pushing his body even closer to Maverick until his head was already leaning

    "Did you like the food? Did it suit your taste?" Jasmine asked a few moments after she and Ciel sat side by side on a wooden cleopatra bench.The two were on the balcony and were facing the huge gate and the green lawn. In front of them was a wooden table, where they put the bottle of wine and two wine glasses that they had brought from the dining room a few moments after eating. As for Maverick, he was left in the dining room, washing the dishes as a form of punishment.Ciel actually thought that Jasmine would ask him about the taste of the food she cooked every time he would try each one of them since she was so eager for Ciel to have a taste of them, but she did not. She would just glance at him for a minute with a smile on her face, then she would go back to focusing on her own. And it's obviously because she didn't want to disturb Ciel while eating and make him feel uncomfortable by her staring and questioning, and Ciel was grateful for that. Because of it, he was able to taste a

    Ciel would be lying if he said that he did not salivate and gulp several times the moment he saw the table that was filled with many delicious-looking foods.The long, narrow, and glass-made dinner table was filled with so much food. There were some foods that were familiar to him, but there were also a number of unfamiliar foods. They all looked good, though, that he suddenly felt like he was starving even though he was not.With so many foods on the table, Ciel looked at Jasmine and couldn't help but ask. “Is it really just going to be us?”Maverick had already informed him that the house they would be heading to this time would be his parents’ own house and not his grandfather’s home. He was also informed that this time, it would just be him, Maverick, and his parents, which somehow made Ciel feel a bit better and was also the reason why Maverick was able to urge him to accept Jasmine’s dinner invitation, as he was still hesitant at first.He thought that at least he was only going

    “Are you ready to face them again?”“You make it sound like facing these nosy bitches and assholes was a scary and traumatic experience for me,” Ciel said while rolling his eyes.“Is it not?”“Come on, dude. You witnessed it yesterday, how I faced them with my head held high. Is that how a person that was scared as shit would look like?”“No,” Maverick answered. He knew that’s what Ciel wanted to hear.“Right. So you better not ask me that stupid question again. You already asked me that yesterday, and I don’t need to hear it again tomorrow or anytime we get here. Understood?”Maverick sighed. “Yes, sir.”“Good. Now, let’s go.” Ciel then walked out of the car without waiting for Maverick, who immediately got out of his car to follow Ciel.But before Ciel could enter the building, he halted to turn around and look at Maverick, who was only a step behind him.Maverick stopped walking as well and frowned. “What?”“You won’t be following me to my class, will you?”Maverick couldn’t answer

    After telling Maverick that he was grateful to him for loving him unconditionally, Ciel just stared at the speechless Maverick.He looked like he was not really expecting him to say such words. And Ciel would admit that what he said was out of the blue as well. Even he himself did not expect he would be saying such words. So what more for Maverick? He must be so confused as to why he has suddenly changed his attitude towards him.But even if Maverick asked him, Ciel wouldn't be able to give him an answer because he also didn't know."What if..." Maverick finally spoke, causing Ciel to focus his attention on him again. He looked into Maverick's eyes, and he saw something in there. An emotion that was somehow familiar but was also kind of new to him. “Never mind,” Maverick said after a while, then leaned his back on the backrest and looked up ahead.Ciel could tell that he had a lot going on inside his head, but Ciel decided to not ask anymore. They’ve already had too much drama in just

    "Don't call them family," Maverick said after a while, prompting Ciel to look at him. "Do not call them your family because they do not deserve that title. A family wouldn't do all the shitty things they did to you. Real parents would never use their child for their own convenience and for their own selfish desire. Real parents would never hurt their child and would protect them instead. Real parents would never treat their child like a useless thing just because of his second gender. So don't call their family. God, they don't even deserve to be called a mother and a father. Because everything they've done to you? All those shitty things? All of that is something a mother and a father would do towards their child. They are fucked-ups! Yeah, that's what they are. A total fuck-ups! A nutcase! God, I hope they never get rich! I hope they never get any freaking connection! I hope their dreams don't fucking come true! I hope they never become happy!"Maverick was gritting his teeth, and h
