My eyes burn with tears as I stare up into his dark unreadable, or so I thought, eyes. All I see now is devotion, willingness and slight desperation. Before I know what I am doing, I feel my lips burn and land on his in an instant, my first kiss, and luckily with my Alpha. I fall into his chest, my arms locking around his neck. I notice him freeze for only a moment before he glides his hands along my waist, pulling me in from the pressure against my lower back. His lips respond to mine equally, soft and respectful. I pull back for only a moment, "Yes, Alpha. Yes."
I whisper against his lips and he pushes back onto my lips, hastily. I feel a new wetness hit my upper lip, and I pull our lips apart. I study his face and see that tear stream that now sits on our upper lips. I move my tongue to swipe the tear away, and I see him watching my lips intently. "Why are you crying?" I ask and he blushes deeply before turning away slightly. I catch his strong jaw with my hand and he freezes yet again. "Do not turn away from me Alpha. I said yes, therefore we proceed under my conditions. Right?" I look him deep into his eyes and he huffs behind a smile and nods once. "Good. Now tell me about that tear."
~Simon POV~
Not only do I want to honor my word, but I want to be open with my Omega. "I have loved you for two years. Since the second day of freshman year when you scrambled into Earth Sciences frazzled and sweaty, wearing a Kansas T-shirt with those tight black ripped jeans that I haven't seen in a while... I even smelled you before I saw you. I was focused on this cute Omega a few rows in front of me when your smell cascaded over me. I remember the way my heart raced, the same way it is now. The way my Alpha panted for you when I saw your eyes for the first time. I have been so afraid for so long, caring what people would think, what they would say... But not anymore. You are more important to me than anyone else, and I am done pretending that is not true. Please, Merlin, trust when I say, I won't let you down, and I won't let you go. I am devoted to you, my Omega. But as for the tear, I have suffered, nightly... Knowing this whole time we are mates. Watching you be treated the ways you were and hating myself for distancing myself from you. I feel now that I have earned a chance, that I do not deserve it. Seeing up close how selfless and funny and kind and beautiful you are, makes me hate myself all the more." I take a deep breath and wait for his response to my second confession of the day.
~Merlin POV~
Holy Shit. HOLY Shit! HOLY SHIT! He loves me? Okay... For two years... Right... And now I have to tell him my truth... Holy Shit... "Simon, now it is my turn to be honest." his expression turns surprised, now serious. "I knew we were mates when I walked into that classroom. It took me a while to narrow down exactly who you were, but within a week I figured you out and started staying away from you, and your friend group purposefully. After the abuse started, it not only hurt to be hurt, but to smell you, to think you knew who I was if I knew who you were. That is what hurt more than Jace and his goons..." I sigh and maintain eye contact and grab his hands and place them in my lap as I continue. "But then I realized what was happening. I knew what we were doing to each other, so I started suppressants, making it easier for you to be around me in those moments. And by examining that decision, I realized over last summer that I loved you. I then started paying attention to you in those moments. You stopped breathing around me, you never watched, you ended it as early as was possible. You did what you could to help me in those moments and I began to recognize the care you hid for me. And now, you have matured and proved I can open myself up to you and I am thankful that this day has finally come so I can now make my dreams come true and do this whenever I please." I lean forward and kiss him deeply, feeling him pull me almost into his lap, his arms pinning me to him... exactly where I want to be.
~Simon POV~
I had to get him as close to me as possible. I thought my Alpha was going to go feral in this little Italian cafe. When our lips touch again, I feel how our lips fit perfectly, like they were crafted as one and only separated by the force of the universe. His smell is stronger than usual, he is doing this purposefully, I know it. Driving me wild, forcing me to maintain control. Another test, this and all of which I will pass without a doubt. I feel him pull off of me and settle back down in his spot in the corner and I notice my feelings for him expressing themselves in my pants... painfully. And as I look over to check on him, I notice he has a similar problem, exposed only slightly under the fabric of his short skirt. I blush deep and note he is as well; I grab my jacket from the rack next to the booth and lay it over our laps, allowing him some peace and assurance. Just a few seconds later, the food is being laid out on the table and I serve him a plate with a bit of everything and we settle in, digging into our lunch. I notice over the meal he has moved close enough to me to be touching at the shoulders and thighs. When he lays his fork down, he lays his head on my shoulder again and pats his little belly enthusiastically. A sudden flash encompasses my vision and I imagine him, rubbing his belly, but this time it is not full of food, but of my pups. I see him being a wonderful Mommy to our young. So beautiful, so breedable... Dear Fuck... I feel lips snap me from my daydream, his lips on mine. I see his beautiful features just in front of me, absolutely mesmerized by how even his few imperfections are perfect to me.
~Merlin POV~
I pull away from him and reach for the velvet box that has been resting on the table. I hand it to him and hope he takes the hint, and he does, but not in the way I expected. He pockets the box and extends his hand for me to take. We go to the counter, and he pays, even though I offered. He walks us back to the car and buckles me in again. I wonder if he knows... I have never presented around him, but he is my mate, he may just know... The drive back to the school seems slow, even though we are right on time. I feel his hand take mine and intertwine them, laying them on my thigh again. I look over at him slightly and feel immediately mesmerized by this man, in that outfit, in this car, speaking to me and looking at me the way he does. It really is a dream come true. We arrive at the school just as people are starting to enter campus. He parks and goes to my side to help me from the car, unbuckling me, extending his hand to me which I hesitantly take and leave the car with him. We walk into the school and immediately people start to whisper, I look to him, and he has a wide smile on his face as people take their phones out and begin to snap photos and videos. That is when he takes us to the foyer in front of the staircase and stops. "Simon, let's go, please." I ask but he just turns to me.
~Simon POV~
This may be too much for him, but this is who I am, this is what I have always imagined doing for him someday, and today is that day. I get down on one knee and pull the black velvet box from my pocket, still holding his hand. I can feel the energy rise in the room, the whispers, camera clicks, and eyes grow in number as I begin to speak. "I would like to say... Merlin has been kind enough to allow me to fight to win his heart. And I will work every day to ensure I do just that. So, from now on make it known, if anyone, ANYONE, does anything to Merlin out of ill spirit, it will be as if you are doing it to me, and you will face the consequences for that, I promise you. Now Merlin, do you accept my proposal and agree to the terms we set?" I look up from my kneeled place and see his tears slip down his pink cheeks, but a smile on his face. "Y- Yes, Alpha." he speaks softly, but just loud enough for those close to hear, and the gasps ricochet through the halls. I open the box and clasp the rainbow bracelet onto his wrist, stand and take him into my embrace for all to see. My hands support him by his head and lower back as I kiss him the way I see in movies, the way we all dream about. All we are missing is the rain and an iconic romance song. I hold the kiss for as long as he lets me and soon, he pulls back and smiles shyly. People around start clamoring with questions and words of mixed emotions. I take his arm in mine and lead him to our final exam a few minutes early, so we can relax a bit together.
~Merlin POV~
He guides me into the last exam of the day, luckily, or I would not have been able to take an independent step after that display. I take a seat at the back of the class and of course he slides in next to me. This time we are in a smaller lecture hall, there are no chairs, only benches with attached desks. This campus is beautiful but outdated. As he settles in next to me and sets up for the exam, I lay my leg over his thigh and he looks over to me, placing his hand on my thick, squishy leg. Honestly, no idea why he likes these as much as he seems to. And that is when I feel his grip tighten on my thigh, strongly and I hear him exhale gruffly with that sexy smirk written on his soft lips. "What?" I ask him just above a whisper. He leans in close and whispers in my ear, "The way you feel, the way I imagine making you feel... I can't put into words, so let me show you..." he slides my leg effortlessly up his lap until I feel it. Huge, strong, hot; pressed against the back of my thigh. I feel the heat rise in my cheeks and I swallow audibly, gripping my pencil tightly I turn my attention to the professor going over the exam. This exam drags on for an eternity. Almost two hours later, I shift my leg from his lap in preparation for having to walk, as it is completely numb. I finish the test and lay my head on the desk when I see my bag being swiped from the floor and soon, I am being hoisted into Simons arms and carried from the hall. Everyone giggling and cheering him on as he struts to the parking lot, proudly carrying his prize. Me.
