Chapter 33.2

Things that I obtained (2)

“I’m Lars Lindgren. Thank you for taking your time for me.”

“Oh, no, no. Please don’t be so modest.”

I was seated next to Yuugo in the living room.

Our hands were touching each other all the time.

My family probably noticed it, but none of them said anything about it. Could it be my sister had explained something to them?

No matter how many times I looked at him, I still couldn’t get used to seeing Yuugo in a suit. Because of that, my heart has been beating so loudly. I guess it was only natural because I couldn’t calm down even when I could feel Yuugo’s warmth like this.

“Is it okay… if I call you Lars?”

“Yes. Please call me whatever suits you. But… please let the name ‘Yuugo’ exclusive for him.”

“Fufu. That’s alright.”

My mom was smiling happily next to my dad, who couldn’t hide his nervousness at all. Her eyes were glued to Yuugo’s face the whole time.

After all, the face of her favorite artist was right in front of her. I could relate to that feeling. But, Yuugo is mine.

I squeezed Yuugo’s hands. He also squeezed my hand back. He glanced at me, then smiled happily.

“You two really suit each other. Lars, please take care of my son.”

“Yes. I will definitely make him happy.”

“…We’ll do it together, right?”

“I’m already happy just being by your side.”

Yuugo could say those things even in front of my family.

He had a big smile on his face, which made the whole family, including me, turn red. I’m glad. It turned out I wasn’t the only one who has a low tolerance for things like this.

After an hour passed, Yuugo has become comfortable with my family.

Dad seemed to have finally gotten over his nervousness. He was smiling and talking with Yuugo.

But, it still feels strange to me.

It felt strange that I’m talking with my family like this, and having Yuugo here.

It has only been two months since I started the Virtual Alpha app… but I kept being surprised at how much my situation has changed.

It wasn’t just my situation that has changed, but also my feelings.

For a long time, I couldn’t accept myself as an omega. It was difficult for me to face the reality… no matter how the test result had already shown it, and no matter how many times my heat had come. I stubbornly refused to accept it.

It was Yuugo who slowly untangled it for me.

He spoke to me in straightforward, honest words, as if he were gently holding me. He took my feelings seriously.

Then, he also became my pair.

—I’ve obtained someone really important for me.

“Lars. Could I ask you one thing?”

“Yes.”

Suddenly, the tone of dad’s voice hardened.

Everyone seemed to have sensed this, and the living room suddenly became silent.

“For my son, who’s an omega, you are his only partner… but I heard that’s not the case for alphas. Alphas could have as many omega pair as they want.”

“Huh, wait… dad.”

Even though he had been chatting and laughing until just earlier—.

I raised my voice when dad suddenly brought up that kind of topic.

“Sou. It’s okay… Please, continue.”

“I’m sorry for asking something like this out of the blue… I’ve been wondering about it for a while, but as a parent, I couldn’t help but ask. I’m sure my son wouldn’t ask you directly about this even if he thinks the same way.”

“…”

“Do you have any intention to become a pair with anyone other than Sou? I’d like to know if that’s a possibility.”

I didn’t want to hear about things like that.

If Yuugo’s answer was ‘Yes’, what kind of face should I make? Even though I was feeling happy, my feelings sunk down in an instant.

My eyes were already getting hot. Even my hands started to tremble. Yuugo noticed this and gently stroked my hands as if to calm me down.

“Sou. It might be a little hard for you… but will you listen to me?”

“…Hard, you say? What do you mean?”

It seems like Yuugo was going to say something to me, not to my dad.

He bent down and took something out of his bag that was sitting right next to his chair.

It was a small box in his hands. At first glance, it looked like a ring case, but it was slightly different.

It was even smaller than that and longer horizontally.

“I want you to take this.”

“…What’s that?”

“It’s my commitment.”

Still not knowing what was going on, I took the box that he offered to me.

When I opened the lid, I found two white, sharp objects in it.

“What’s this?”

“…Could it be, is that Alpha’s fangs?”

I had no idea what that was, but my dad who also looked at it with me seemed to know what it was.

Yuugo nodded at dad’s words.

I repeated my dad’s words in my mouth.

“Alpha’s fangs…. are these… Yuugo’s teeth?”

“Yeah. The top two fangs. It’s medically proven that without them, biting into Omega’s nape won’t result in becoming a pair. I don’t need them anymore.”

“Wh-why?”

“I only need you by my side. It’s strange to ask for more when I already have my fated pair by my side.”

“—Wait, what do you mean fated pair?”

My head couldn’t keep up with so many surprising events.

I was surprised with the alpha’s fangs, and now fated pair… could it be that’s-

“Are you and I a fated pair…?”

“That’s right. You and I are a fated pair— we’re the only pair for each other.”

Yuugo smiled as he said that, but his face soon become blurred and I couldn’t see it anymore.

But my pair’s scent that enveloped me told me about it. They conveyed his feelings straight to me.

My tears were wiped in a gentle manner.

But it kept overflowing and didn’t stop.

“Sou… I’ll only love you and only you alone.”

I could only nod my head in response to the words of vows he said in a soft voice.
