When June kissed December (Completed)

Chapter 17

"Uh... Are you sure it will suit me?"

It's been a long time since Pete took a bath for so long. He poures as much foam and aromatic oil as he can, then begins to rub the skin with a sponge to the state of pink marshmallows and spends an eternity washing himself with clean water.

He knows that there is still plenty of time before dinner, but he is so excited that he simply cannot distract himself from it. His wardrobe is full of never-worn outfits. But Pete watches with great doubt as Macau tries to jump up to one of them. A very thin, milky-colored jacket and a tight-fitting top with pants of rich black color.

"Do you think he will like it?..

Pete bites his lip and blushes. Although he's already told Macau for whom he was trying so hard. The newt's tail instantly turns out to rise higher than the head.

"Okay. After all... you're a better judge of his preferences."

Pete combs his hair on two sides, straightens his bangs with an iron and releases several thin locks forward. Framed by dark shiny curls, the lines of a beautiful face look even more irresistible. Pete smooths his eyebrows, pinches his cheeks several times so that the blood flows to his face and gives him a gentle blush. Adjusts the bracelet and completes the image with a couple of drops of perfume on the wrist and behind the ear.

"What do you think?" the omega asks Macau with a smile.

And then he laughs: Macau dramatically loses his senses in front of him. Apparently from all this beauty.

"Wish me good luck, little brat!"

Exhaling, Pete goes downstairs and then outside. He knows where the Roman Fountain is located, but does not remember that the alley leading to it would be illuminated on both sides by hanging lanterns.

Vegas.

As always - in an elegant tuxedo of Pete's favorite shade of indigo. His hair is styled in beautiful waves. In the look - sincere admiration for his husband. Pete even thinks he notices a few drops of tears on the alpha's eyelashes. For a moment, Vegas' face turns to the water, which reflects all the scars on it. He closes his eyes sharply and shakes his head in painful despair. Pete takes two seconds to find himself next to and embrace this pain:

"What is my beautiful husband sad about? Or... dinner is canceled and I wasted four hours on dressing up?"

Vegas leans his forehead against Pete's:

"I was so hoping that soon you wouldn't have to stand such a monster next to you... I wished that all this would end quicker!.."

I'm afraid that nothing will ever end.

Now Pete understands what he meant.

Some time ago, he would have flared up, hearing his husband's doubts. But today, all of Vegas' insecurities crumble to ashes when Pete touches his lips with the boldest kiss he's capable of. Vegas runs his palm into his neat - damn it - hairstyle, Pete hugs him by the neck, they seem to share all the emotions through a kiss and at the same time seek comfort in hugs.

"I won't argue and convince you anymore. I will only believe with all my might that the day will come when you understand for yourself what my word is really worth."

After whispering this, Pete closes his eyes and kisses his alpha again. He's already made up his mind. He knows what he's going to do next. And he knows who it's all for. And he has no regrets and will not regret anything. Once he saw his bleak future floating with the stream of life. But since heaven has given him a chance not only to change his fate, but also to bring others back to life, he will cling to it to the last.
