~Merlin POV~
"What?" I ask flatly, knowing full well, what. I said 'home' about his place... I really should not have said that. And now I will have to face that down after these last two exams. We enter the hall and make our way to the very back and spot only two seats available, far from each other. Simon walks me into the back corner and looks down on this guy I recognize as Sang-hoon, a beta who has always been kind to me, the few times we have spoken. He gets up and bows to Simon and me then moves to the other seat. I feel guilty about this, so I look back to him and mouth "Thank you" and he smiles and nods at me. We take our seats and Simon lays out our books and pencils on the desk then takes my hand and holds it, on full display. Still so strange. The professor signal for us to begin and I feel his breath on my ear "Good luck, little one." he whispers and when I turn my head to say the same, he kisses me quickly, drops my hand and begins his exam. Jackass... I lower my hand to his very upper thigh, squeeze it and whisper "Good luck, Daddy." back to him and begin my own exam. Two can play at that game, Simon. This exam takes twice as long as most and by the end of it, my hand and back are sore, and I am exhausted. I yawn and lay my head on Simon until he finishes his exam, and soon he kisses the top of my head and whispers "Just one more, pup. You're doing great." I never realized how much I would need and love having a caregiver... not that he is mine yet, but he is making it easy to want him as such. We make it to the next exam and settle in, this one takes no time at all and before we know it, exams are finished, and we are heading for summer and my birthday tomorrow. "Want to grab some coffee before we head... home?" he smirks as he nudges my shoulder.
As we leave the building to get coffee I ask "Simon, do you think abo-" BAM! I feel a blunt hit to my lower back, my arm slips from Simons and my face is now hurling for the pavement. My hand braces my fall, as do my knees, scraping against the gnarled rocky surface. "Fuck..." The moment of impact I feel his hands grip my waist and pull me from flattening completely. He steadies me and turns around to see Jace, panting and face red with anger. "Jace. Bad decision... We talked about this." He takes a step towards his former friend who throws an erratic punch. Simon dodges the fist and manages to get a grip on his wrist, forcing him down to the ground. Jace may be 6'2, the same as me in heels, but Simon stands 6'5, wide shoulders, natural strength and it helps that he plays three sports. Jace has lost his mind. 'I will give you this chance to walk away, Jace. Only one chance." Simon turns to me and signals for us to go when the worst happens.
~Simon POV~
I lose all sense of control when I see Jace throw his fist again, but not at me. At Merlin. Nope, absolutely not. I have no control now, my Alpha is pissed and looking for blood. Quicker than I can compute, I catch his fist a few inches before Merlin's face and return the punch, connecting solidly to his jaw. I hear a crack and snap and see him on the ground. I tower over him and ask him. "Are you done now, or would you like a repeat of Spring Break?" He nods. "M' done." "Are you going to do this again?" He shakes his head and huffs. Then I hear Merlin speak up. "Submit." Woah... what? That shakes me back into myself. "Merlin?" "Do it." He states with no hesitation to Jace, an Alpha, now on his knees before us. Merlin takes one step closer to Jace and bends down to look him in the eye. "For years I have accepted the torture you put me through, for seemingly no reason. Now I want you to know, just once, how it felt all those times. I have no idea what I did to you to deserve this treatment, but I wish you would have spoken to me about it, like a human. But instead, you chose to act with violence and anger. This is the least you deserve. Simon and I are together, if that is something you have a problem with, you are free to find another school, but if you are to stay here, you will no longer act with anger or intimidation. We will make sure of that, are we understood?" I see him nod slowly. "Now, submit to Simon." I look at Merlin with shock... He is not asking for submission to himself, he is asking for it for me... "Merlin... you don't have to-" I see movement and notice Jace is exposing his neck to not only me, but to Merlin as well, looking between us. I feel Merlin take my hand and turn me to the car, and I follow, striding off behind this powerful little Omega... this Omega who can and apparently will do anything for me. I then notice the limp he has; I see the ripped stockings and blood seeping down his shins, then I feel the blood on my hand, transferring from his. I scoop him up into my arms and race him to the car, setting him down gently I see his eyes start to close. I buckle him in, make a call to my personal doctor and race to my place.
~Merlin POV~
I register the comfort of a soft blanket, then the mattress I know to be Simons. I blink my eyes when I feel a searing hot stab into my knee. I jerk up to see a man stabbing a needle into my lower thigh just above my knee. "What the fuck?" I blurt out and attempt to scamper away, smacking right into Simon sitting to my left. "Simon..." I look up at him with the saddest eyes I can manage. He sinks down to kiss me and lays me into his arms. The doctor follows and continues cleaning my wounds. "You have a sprained wrist and some major cuts, so the doctor set the wrist and is almost done with the bandages. You have been given pain medications so you will be loopy." My mind goes back to the interaction outside of the school... "Are you okay?" I rush to ask Simon, not really remembering what happened after Jace tried to punch me. He just chuckles and rocks me gently, "I am fine, little one, just fine thanks to you. What you did was so brave and so sexy." I just know I am the color of a tomato as he looks down on me lovingly. What the hell happened today?
A while later, Simon brings me a plate of food in bed and sets up a movie for us. Simon sits on the bed in front of me and with every bite he feeds me, he takes a bite, and continues this until I am finished. How could I ever have tried to convince myself I didn't love this man? He strokes my hair and snuggles into bed next to me as we finish the movie. I yawn and stretch "Ready for bed, little one?" I just chuckle and fold my arms in front of me. "I don't think so... Simon. You have answers you owe me, remember?" He sighs but resigns and turns to lay facing me. "I will tell you anything." he states, and I ask the first and most obvious question. "What is your real name?" "Simon Park, exactly what you know, we have just done a good job, or so I thought of not advertising who my family is. We, my parents and younger siblings are part of an old family who has a large control in the hotel and entertainment industries. Hence why I am in business classes, with you. I will inherit the businesses when I turn twenty-five. The media usually follows the others more than me, but when the heir to a multibillion-dollar company is seen with a new unknown mate, especially when no one knew I am gay... Hell, even I didn't know until I met you. That tends to make quite a stir in the family and community. I again am so sorry for all of that." And now I understand... He is not just out of my league; we are absolutely not even playing the same sport... So, my next question has to be... "So... what the fuck are you doing with me?" He looks so shocked at my question. "I mean, I am a scholarship kid from Busan who only got here because I am, admittedly, brilliant... But I know nothing about your world, and I sure don't fit into it." As soon as the words leave my mouth, he has me flat on my back, pinned to the mattress. "Simon, what ar-" his lips crash onto mine, forcing some of his weight down onto me, he moves from my lips to my jaw, to my neck and down to my shoulder. He bites down roughly and growls into my skin. "Simon!" I smack his back and he releases, but makes his way up to my ear, taking the lobe into his mouth, he bites down and speaks through clenched teeth. "Listen to me, Omega." He growls and I swear my heart flutters with the forceful reassurance in his tone. He releases my flesh again and continues... "You are mine. No one will separate us, for any reason. Especially because of something as meaningless as money... And as for not fitting into my life, I have to adapt for you as well, and I will help you to learn and feel comfortable in the situations we will end up in. I will not let my birthright keep me from being with the man I lo-"
