"Ah, you're alive, dude! I was already starting to worry that my Pete's completely gone!"
"As you see."
Today, Pete dials Arm fot a video call. This alpha is his best and only friend. Because of his peculiarities, Pete - as he believes - is not at all attractive to alphas, who, being next to him, do not feel any natural smell. So they could always be friends without fear of spoiling this friendship.
"Come on! How is family life? How's your new house? Is Khun Vegas a good husband?"
"Hey, hey, not so fast," Pete rolls his eyes, "I haven't had time to memorize the first question yet, and you've already piled them up."
Arm folds his hands in a prayer gesture and shows with his whole appearance he's ready to listen to Pete without haste.
"Well, stop freaking me out!" restless Arm exclaims again.
Pete grins:
"It's okay. At least, as far as it is possible taking into account all my circumstances... The house is very large, I have my own modern bedroom..."
"Stop!" Arm squints incredulously, "do you live in different bedrooms?"
At first, Pete squints to the side, and then nods:
"Yep. What's the big deal here? My studies have started, Khun Vegas is busy almost all day in his office or on business trips. We see each other mostly in the dining room."
"Ahem. 'Khun Vegas'? Why not 'Vegas'?" Arm laughs, his eyes are shining. "Do you call him that in bed as well?"
Pete's cheeks are burning. What a babbler you are, Arm! Found a subject for discussion. Flipping off with his middle finger, the omega replies:
"Even though we're friends, it's none of your business."
"Oh, come on, what's the big deal? Uh... Are you already used to him? Is he caressing you, when..."
Pete's cheeks redden more:
"That's it, bye, Arm!'
"Aw, wait, when will we chat again?"
Pete shakes his head disapprovingly:
"I won't discuss my husband with you. Not with you, not with anyone else. That's it, Arm, I still need to get ready for a test, good luck!"
Pete turns off the phone and shivers from the cold. Behind him, in the doorway, there is Vegas.
Damn... Did you hear everything?
"Sorry, Pete. You had it open here. I didn't knock."
Someday his hyper-politeness will blow my mind!"
"Ah... no problem. I've been talking to my friend."
Vegas nods. And Pete hears him grinding his teeth and, perhaps unconsciously, the alpha starts scratching his neck. Pete takes a breath, catching the changed smell of his husband.
I see.
He knows similar signs from his father. But his parents always solved the main problem of these days in the bedroom. So he came to...
Pete jumps to his feet with lightning speed, resting his back against the edge of the table:
"Khun Vegas... I-I understand it's not easy for you right now... but we agreed that we wouldn't..."
Vegas gestures for him to be quiet. Then he says:
"I came to tell you that I have business issues in the neighboring province. I'll be away for a week. And so," alpha puts a brand-new skateboard against the wall, still in the package, "this is for you. Last week, I ordered that the skate-ground be prepared. You can ride whenever you want."
