Stay With Me αβΩ

Chapter 42

Everyone gathered at the front yard of the ryokan they are staying in, all of them having fun lighting the small sparkles while saving for later the much-awaited bigger fireworks.

Instead of joining in the festivity, Dazai slowly and quietly walks away to avoid being noticed by anyone as he heads towards the forest where Chuuya promised to meet him, but when he is on the edge where the garden meets the woods, someone calls out to him.

"Where are you going Dazai-san?"

That almost made the Alpha jumps out of his own skin, if there's anyone that he doesn't want to see him that would be Kunikida because he knows his partner will never let him go to ruin his perfect schedule.

The brunette turns around "Kenji-kun, I just feel like walking in the forest to take some fresh air" - he reasoned.

"But we are about to light the bigger ones"

"You see, I'm not really a fan of fireworks"

"I didn't know that you dont like fireworks"

"Well apparently I do" - he answered "Anyways, what are you doing here Kenji-kun?" - he asked changing the topic.

"I'm looking for Atsushi-kun and Chuuya-san, they've been gone after dinner" - the boy tilted his head "Do you know where they are, Dazai-san?"

Dazai knows where Chuuya is but of course he will not tell "I don't, have you checked the hot spring?"

Kenji seems to believe him "I haven't, alright I'll look there" - the boy said and starts to walk away.

The brunette then gave out a sigh of relief and starts to walk going to the old shrine in the forest.

Chuuya may not be able to smell the scent of the cinnamon as strongly as before since his Omega side has vanished along with his mark but he can somehow sense it "You seem to improve in just a day" - he said.

"Are you sure that this scent is attractive to Alpha?" - Atsushi asked.

"Yes, it is the scent of all Omegas that can seduce any Alphas" - the other answered "It is not only used for mating but can also be used as a weapon"

"A weapon?"

"You can use that scent if you are in danger"

"How?"

"You will know it when you are there"

"O-okay" - for Atsushi, it sounded very vague but what he doesn't know at the time it will be very useful.

The two of them waited for the fireworks when a question pops up in the silver-haired boy's mind "How about you Chuuya-san?"

"Huh?"

"Have you tried to use your scent to seduce someone, I mean an Alpha?"

That question struck the older Omega, he quickly remembers the first time that he did and that is when Dazai was on a brink of death, he has to use his scent to lure out his Alpha side that was inhibited for a long time so he can recover. It is the same time that the Omega probably admitted to himself that he has feelings for the Alpha, that he loves him.

It's been a minute but Chuuya hasn't answered the question "Chuuya-san?" - Atsushi called out.

Being pulled out of his own thoughts "Huh?"

"I was asking if you have seduce an Alpha, have you?"

Hesitantly he answered "N-no, I haven't"

In Atsushi's mind, the other doesn't want to talk about it because it could be the leader of the Port Mafia so he didn't ask any more questions. Minutes went on and Chuuya keeps looking at his wristwatch.
