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

Slither 45

The sun is setting across the horizon, sky turning into orange hue. People on the beach slowly disperse as the night time is just around the corner, but two individuals were still there watching as the warmth of the setting sun ablaze two hearts in love, despite the uncomfortable feeling of their clothes drying from being wet from playing in the water, it didn't stop them from enjoying the sunset, two hands intertwined ever so tightly with each other, footprints leaving off the sand as they both walk at the seashore. 

The two embraced the soft, tranquil, and comforting sound of waves in a soothing silence, letting the problems that were yet to occur be carried away with the waves. 

"Zhan..." Wei Ying suddenly mumbles, eyes staring up ahead of them. 

The alpha hums, turning his head to his omega with a soft look, the orange hue from the setting sun is touching his beloved's skin is making him look ethereal, his heart skipped a beat, hand instinctively clutch a little tighter at the omega's. 

Wei Ying smiled flat, looking at his alpha as they halt from taking another step, "About the ball, do you need to go too?" He asked.

Lan Zhan sighs, he reached for the omega's cheeks and draws soothing circles before he opened his mouth, "It's an obligation given to us by our uncle," he answers, "But it was purely for business. I am not forced to find a bride, I just need to show my face there. But brother..." he deflated, feeling sorry for his brother to carry the burden. 

Wei Ying immediately caught Lan Zhan's cheeks, cupping them softly between his hands, he smiles assuringly, "we'll find a way to help him, hmm?" he coos, running his thumb over the alpha's cheeks. 

The alpha nods, "I know," he replies, pulling the omega's face close to him and planting a kiss on his forehead. 

Wei Ying giggles, the second-best kiss he loves is Lan Zhan's forehead kisses. The way his soft lips touch his forehead reminds him that he is always safe, he feels the respect of the alpha for him, the feeling of bringing comfort to his omega. He gets to feel special that he didn't experience before, and he gets to feel the love and gentleness that was deprived of him. 

"Why not we sit here for a while and enjoy the sunset before we go buy dinner?" The omega suggested, pulling the alpha by the wrist and eventually stumbling down the sand. Then he plops down between the alpha's legs.

The alpha was flabbergasted by the suddenness but then immediately held the omega's waist to prevent him from falling too hard on the sand, "Watch it, you could've hurt yourself" he reprimands but Wei Ying just giggles at him. 

"You caught me tho," he laughs, pressing his back on the alpha's chest. Lan Zhan just sighs at his omega's mischievousness, encircling his arms on his waist to sit him in place. 

"Hm, next time warn me," He hums causing the omega to whip his head at him with a frown, "But you kiss me without a warning tho," he complains.  

The alpha chortles, "Right, I'm sorry," he apologized and leans to peck on the omega's pouting lips. 

Wei Ying's eyes went wide at the attack, "See! You did it again!" he complains and throws a soft punch at the alpha who only laughs at him. Just as they started fooling around, Wei Ying's phone rang, making the two come to a halt.

.

Xichen groans as he wakes up after an hour of passing out, head a lot clearer now that the mix of pheromones has already dissipated and nothing is holding his consciousness anymore. He raised from lying on top of his mate, eyes wide in disbelief, lost in his worries. His heart is beating wildly in his chest as mixed emotions conquer him. He's happy because the person he loves is already his mate, but at the same time, he's perplexed and distraught. How should he apologize to the Jiangs? How should he face them when he did something that will surely make them angry at him? How should he show his sincerity to them? But the worst is, how should he tell his uncle? He doesn't know what will happen to his mate when his uncle found out about him, and at what lengths can his uncle do to destroy him if he found out. 

No, he doesn't want that to happen to his mate, he will protect him at all cost! 

But what if the omega doesn't want him?

He heaves a long sigh, trying to calm his raging emotions. He needs to calm down and think first.

 And so he stood from the bed, before leaving the omega he stood there for a while. He watches the omega's peaceful face. The corner of his lips instinctively turned into a wide smile. Oh, how beautiful is he, the brows with no crease of unsatisfaction, the plump and pink lips from all the make out, and down to his pale skin painted with red-violet bruises, and lastly, the obvious bite mark that is bounding them as mates. Everything on the omega looks so beautiful and stunning, his heart can't help but leap in joy. 

He immediately shook his head to bring back himself before he gets lost in the omega's ethereal beauty. Right, he has to clean the omega first and call Wei Ying as soon as possible. 

As much as he wanted to watch the omega all day long, he still needs to clean them both. They are both covered with dried sweat and drying cum from all the intensity a while ago. And so he head to the bathroom and took a short shower before changing into his clean clothes. Then he grabbed a clean towel, damping it before making his way to the omega's bed, he sat beside him, smiling softly at the sight before started wiping the omega gently, careful to not wake him. 

"I'm sorry," he mumbles, wiping off his face first. "I'll take full responsibility, and whatever happens I will be always by your side, that is if you want me to," he smiles sadly to himself then sighs, "I should be telling this to you when you wake up but I don't know what will be your reaction," he mumbles, voice almost cracking as he finishes off his wiping and stood from sitting on the bed and rummages over the omega's suitcase and grabbed clothes from there. 

"I love you, I truly do, but I don't know if you even like me in the slightest," he added in a soft voice, heart clenching painfully in his chest. He smiled sadly as he grabs his phone from his discarded trousers a while ago, then dials Wei Ying's number. 

When the call was answered, he let out a sad sigh and answered, "Please come back here as soon as possible. I may have done a terrible mistake," he starts, he didn't even wait for an answer from the other line and cut off the call. 

He grabs his hair as he frustratingly pulled on them, tears welling at the corner of his eyes.
