Omega's Choice

Chapter 14

Kenma's POV
"Hi, Haru.. did you have fun?" I asked with a faint smile, picking up my son. He nodded and held onto me as I thanked Daichi and Suga for watching him.

"No problem, Kenma. We always enjoy watching over Haru!"

"Uhm, are you guys..."

"Are we..??"

"Never mind. I'll see you guys later." I said with a tiny smile. I started heading home, half listening to my son tsk about stuff he did overnight. I need someone to look after Haru tonight.... and I'm afraid to ask anyone I know. They'd question why I would be leaving my home at 2 am and coming home who knows when.

The later it got at night, the more anxious I got. What am I supposed to do? I can't leave Haru alone. Our neighborhood is relatively safe yes, but he's still only 5...

I really don't have a choice here.

"Hello?"

"Hi..."

"Kenma..! Are you alright??" Kuroo said over the phone.

"I'm... fine.. would.. would you come watch Haru tonight for me...?"

"...because you're going?"

"...I told you that I don't have a choice.. if you aren't going to watch my son, then I'm hanging up."

"Wait..! Okay, okay I'll watch him." Kuroo said with a sigh. I mumbled a thanks and hung up. I stared at the messages in my phone from this morning before taking in a breath and heading to Haru's room.

"Haru?"

"Uh huh?"

"Uhm.. I have to go out tonight somewhere. So, I'm going to have Kuroo babysit you here."

"Can I go?"

"No. It's.. somewhere only adults can go."

"Okay!" Haru said with no question. I smiled faintly and finished making dinner for him before getting him prepared for bed. I nearly jumped when there was a knock at the door, but then I remembered it should be Kuroo.

"Hi Kenma.. you alright?" Kuroo asked when I answered the door. I nodded and took in a breath.

"I'm fine.. uhm. Haru doesn't normally wake up in the middle of the night, so he should be alright.. if he does wake up and asks for any snacks, I have some leftover fruit in the fridge in a container."

"..."

"What."

"Nothing, I just.. wish you wouldn't go." Kuroo said as I pulled on a jacket and a small bag. I walked to the door and stepped out with my hand on the handle."

"...well. Now we both know what it's like."

"Kenma-"

"Thanks, for watching him." I said and left quickly. I had to leave now since it'd be a walk all the way there. The parks weren't super close and I couldn't afford a car. I was a bit worried about getting home though. My thoughts were all broken when I got to the park...

"So you were smart enough to come here huh?" The alpha said with a smirk. I scowled slightly as he walked closer to me.

"I'm only doing it to protect my son."

"I know. And that is why you will continue to listen to me."

"....right."

"Now, come here. You're in for a long night."

4 am: Kuroo's POV
I was worried... Kenma wasn't back yet. I knew he may not be back until later. But it's been 2 hours. Over 2 hours.. and I couldn't sleep.

I can't believe Kenma is doing this. He's letting himself be used like he's some slave. He deserves better... I sat up when my phone rang and I saw it was Kenma.

"Kenma, are you okay???" I asked immediately. I heard Kenma sniffle and whimper slightly on the other side.

"...could you come pick me up..? I can't walk that far.. I just can't..."

"Where are you." I said, already out of bed. Kenma quietly told me and I said I'd be there soon. I went and checked on Haru, making sure he was sound asleep before heading out and locking up.

When I got to the park, I parked my car somewhere probably illegal and rushed to go find Kenma. When I found him, he was laying silently in a grassy spot on a thin, dirtied blanket. He had his clothes on, but his hair was a mess and it looked like he had bite and scratch marks on his face.

"Fucking hell, Kenma..." I mumbled as I walked over and picked him up. He said nothing and just let me take him home. After we were there, I took Kenma to his room, ran a bath, and double check on his son before returning to Kenma.

"Do you want any help..?" I asked after setting Kenma on his feet in the restroom. He held onto me in silence before nodding. I let him remove his own clothes, and I almost broke something when I saw the bite and scratches went all the way down his body.

"...would you help me wash..?" Kenma asked quietly. I nodded and thought he just meant from the side of the tub, but he mumbled and asked to bath with him. I was surprised, but wasted no time in doing what he asked.

I sat in the bath and let Kenma sit in front of me. I gently poured some water over his body and he'd wince when I'd touch a scratch on him. Every time he'd wince, I'd apologize. I swear, I'm going to kill the alpha.

"Kuroo.. I'm scared."

"What happened."

"...He told me.. he told me that he won't pay me anymore unless I let him mark me."
