My Sweet Boy | Omegaverse

Chapter 18

Robin was sitting at the window of the room given to him and staring at the ocean outside. He had never seen an ocean before. He thought it would be scary, the vastness, so much water but as he looked outside he realized how beautiful it was. Victor's house was beautiful. Serene. There was a swimming pool in the backyard and across the pool was the beach. There were a few people at the beach as well. Kids playing, people walking. He wanted to go out and explore. There was so much to discover. He was intrigued. Robin realized there was so much he had never experienced. His father never played with him like the fathers on the beach with their kids. He didn't have a carefree relationship with his family. All his relationships were strained by the restrictions of the palace. Robin was scared to lose this newfound freedom. The prospect of going back to the palace didn't appeal to him anymore. But how could he stay here? Victor's family hated him. He saw how his identity upset them. He didn't want to be an unwanted guest.

Robin was startled by the knock on the door. He opened the door to find the little girl, Nina, standing outside.

"Hey," he greeted, squatting down. She was beautiful which wasn't a surprise considering her omega father had beautiful facial features and the father's twin brother was equally handsome. The reminder of Victor's brother made him wince.

"This is for you," Nina said, handing him some clothes.

"Thank you," Robin said, giving her a smile.

"Victor uncle asked you to come down for dinner," she said shyly.

"Tell him I will be there."

"Okay," she said before bolting down the stairs. Robin felt a weird ache in his heart at the sight of the little girl. He had never considered having children, never having interacted with one ever. Looking at her he thought it wouldn't be so bad.

Robin unfolded the clothes. He was pleasantly surprised by them. They weren't the kind of things he usually wore, but then there weren't a lot of options at the palace. Omegas were restricted to wearing robes. These were loose-fitted cotton pants and a white satin shirt. He put it on and smiled at how different he looked. He almost looked...like a commoner, which wasn't a bad thing. He liked this version of himself. Laid-back. Like the protagonists of some of the fiction novels he had read.

Victor was playing with Nina when Robin came down the stairs. Victor did a double take before staring at him in wonder as Robin walked to the dining table and took a seat.

"That's Kyle's place," Arthur snapped.

"Oh," Robin immediately started to stand up but Kyle pulled him down.

"It's okay. Sit wherever you want. This is your house as well," he said with a tight smile before sitting beside him.

"My house," Robin whispered to himself, just to get the feel of it.

Victor sat opposite him and Arthur beside Victor. Robin could feel Arthur glaring holes at him.

"Rody and Caroline won't come?" Robin asked, seeing two chairs still empty.

"They are back to fuc..." Kyle looked at Nina and cleared his throat. "Back to spending time together."

"Won't they be hungry?" Nina asked.

Arthur opened his mouth to say something but Kyle cut him off. "I will take their dinner to their room later."

"But why aren't they eating with us?" Nina asked, sounding curious.

"You know I told you yesterday that there are times when mates need to spend time together. Or they become ill. It's that time for Uncle Rody and aunt Caroline," Kyle said.
