Slither Mate (WangXian & XiCheng FF) || Hybrid Omegaverse AU

Slither 15

Friday.

The two subjects for today had finished in a flash and it's time for their club activities once again. Wei Ying, as usual, approached Lan Zhan who is waiting for him in his seat, while his two friends, tho a little hesitant, followed him anyway.

"Club activities?" Wei Ying chirped, smiling so wide at the alpha.

There's a fondness in the alpha's eyes as he stares down at the omega, "I don't have. Is it okay to watch you?" He asked.

Wei Ying beamed, "It's more than okay!" he chirped. Of course, he would be delighted, it's a rare chance to be watched by his friend!

On the other hand, Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes, he was getting tired of watching his brother all oblivious. He can tell that Lan Zhan likes him, yet Wei Ying looks like he doesn't know a thing. He sighs exasperatedly, well, it's not his word to say anyway.

While Huaisang, watches the two with disbelief on his face. He has a hunch but he needs clarification. He looks at Jiang Cheng who is standing beside him, "Hey, are the two dating?" he asked, curiosity filling his head. Jiang Cheng shook his head, "No, but Lan Zhan obviously likes him, now it's just my dumbass of a brother who needs to face his feelings," he replied. Huaisang nods. True, he sees the changes in how Lan Zhan treats Wei Ying since yesterday. He even thought they are already together.

"Huaisang, A'cheng! You gonna come or going to do something?" Wei Ying asked, his attention now on them.

Huaisang smiled at him as he shakes his head, "I have club activities," he replies. While Jiang Cheng nods at Wei Ying, "I'll go with you."

"Then let's go!" The omega beamed and started walking out of their classroom with Lan Zhan beside him.

Jiang Cheng sighed, cue for him to follow, but before he leaves he looks back at Huaisang, "See ya," he bids.

.

On their way to the archery club, Wei Ying keeps blabbering whatever comes into his head.

Jiang Cheng feels irritated, who wouldn't be? The eyes are on them, the omega's muttering is enough to call the attention of the people they pass by.

But to the alpha, it's the opposite. He nods and hums when he answers the omega, ears, and eyes focused on him throughout their way.

Jiang Cheng even sighs exasperatedly occasionally at how painful to watch two idiots, one oblivious and one who's too whipped to care for the surroundings.

They arrived at the archery club not long after. Jiang Cheng thanks the heavens that they already arrived, his suffering ends there. Because if he spends more time with the two who have their own world, he might blurt out everything to them just to shut them up.

Or so he thought.

"Oh, I forgot my-"

"-energy drink? I bought one," The alpha declares before the omega can whine. He fished out the energy drink he bought beforehand and handed them to the omega.

Wei Ying beamed, smiled as wide as he reached for the drink. "Thank you! I always forget them!" he whined, slightly pouting.

Jiang Cheng's jaw dropped, he thought he already escaped the hell hole of suffering.

"Oh, by the way, A'cheng!" Wei Ying turns his attention to the beta.

Jiang Cheng looked at him, unimpressed, an eyebrow raised, "What?" he mutters, getting tired of everything that's happening.

"Do you have any face towel? I forgot to pack mine, and I brought the extras on my locker home," he asks, looking at him with pleading eyes.

Jiang Cheng sighs for who knows how many times he did, "I don't. I don't have a club right? I don't need them anyway," he answered in a monotone.

The omega pouted, just how careless of him to forget what is the most important. If he had just packed them in his bag last night he wouldn't have to forget it. Well, he was occupied with a three-hour phone call with the alpha that he forgot everything he needs to do.

Wei Ying sighs, "guess this will suffice," he mutters, looking down at his lone handkerchief on his hand.

"If you don't mind I can lend you my towel," the alpha suddenly uttered.

Wei Ying's eyes twinkled at the sight of the towel on his hand, then looked up at the alpha. "Are you sure? But you're not going to use it?" he asked, a little excited to get a hold of it but partly hesitant.

The alpha shooks his head, grabbing the latter's hand and putting the towel on them to assure him that it's fine, "Yes. That's my spare, I always bring one. You can give them back anytime."

Wei Ying giggles upon holding them, his smile reaching his ear, "Thank you! You saved me!"

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes for the nth time this day, now he's really really exhausted just by watching them. "You done? Your clubmates are waiting for you, scram!" he exclaimed, pushing away his brother.

Wei Ying pouted at Jiang Cheng that obviously didn't work on the beta, but to Lan Zhan, it made the alpha's heart flutter. Damn, just how smitten is he to the charms of this omega.

.

In the middle of the practice, Wei Ying went up to the stool where his things are laid, he grabbed the bottle of energy drink and chugged a gulp then grabs the towel right after and wiped his slightly sweating self. A tinge of sandalwood and lavender whiff off the towel as it swipes on his face, a scent that brings comfort and safety into his omegan instincts. He smiles, "Lan Zhan's choice of fabric softener..." he mumbles to himself as he sniffs on them once again before wiping the sweats on his neck and arms.

On the other side of the archery club's fence, Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng are watching. Sitting on a bench close to the wired fence. Lan Zhan's eyes follow everywhere the omega is.

"He'll melt," Jiang Cheng blurted out suddenly making the alpha turn a head at him. "Just don't stare too much," he mutters. The alpha didn't say a word, he already knew the beta had a clue on what was going on. "Oh, he's being approached by the sophomores," he added which made the alpha look at the omega's way.

Jiang Cheng can see hints of blushing mess on the faces of the sophomores who approached the omega. It's not new, Wei Ying is a gorgeous omega, the silky scale of a snake that accentuates some of his skin, and the alluring scent of vanilla spice that captivates alphas who gets a whiff of them, he's also good in archery, hell he's the best of them all, he once hit multiple targets simultaneously with his eyes blindfolded, and he smiles a lot, the approachable feeling radiating off of him making him easy to talk to.

But when the alpha sophomores stood a meter distance from the omega, they immediately back away leaving a confused look from the omega.

Jiang Cheng is not blind to not notice what's happening. Sighing internally, he knew what was going on, but he refused to acknowledge them. He'd rather keep his mouth shut and watch throughout.

Lan Zhan watched as the three alpha's back away from the omega, he's not a bit worried of the alpha's approaching his omega. He already marked his territory.
