When June kissed December (Completed)

Chapter 19

The lips feel heavy and resemble rubber. For a some time separated body, soul and mind slowly begin to find each other. In the temporal rumble, he recognizes his own pulse. Some voices from the outside, which seem too sonorous, hit his ears.

Slowly opening his eyes. At first, the vague image that appeared in front of them gradually turns into the figure of someone sitting nearby. Someone completely unfamiliar.

"Hey!" it is pronounced very cheerfully and even joyfully.

Now he understands why it's so difficult to move the fingers of his left hand. Wires from some medical device are connected to it. There is nothing superfluous on the face.

So, I'm breathing independently... ah...

"Who are you?.."

Pete is amazed, which can be easily explained, he's looking at —  now it's clear  — the other omega, in a striped T-shirt and a smile from ear to ear on a young, good-natured face.

"Don't you recognize me at all?" the smile becomes even more mischievous. "Well, although the differences are noticeable. Yes-yes."

Pete frowns, which makes the pulse in his temple only get stronger; with his right hand he grabs the edge of the pillow to pull it up and hears:

"Just don't beat me with a pillow today, okay?" the young omega puts out his hands in a protective gesture, "the doctor said that you should not make any sudden movements yet. Actually, you've already regained consciousness twice, but you started shouting out some nonsense, waving your arms and kicking, so both times you were injected with some sedative."

Pete is completely lost. Then the picture of everything that happened to him rolls over him, along with the first tears:

"Little brat... is that you?.."

Having taken a higher position, Pete hugs the omega around the neck with all his fervor, but this causes the wires connected to him to fall out of the device sharply, making it emit a piercing long signal, on which the nurse-beta quickly resorts to.

"After all, I told you that you can't move so quickly oh, you!" Macau, who never ceases to smile, pretends to reproach him.

"I... but how did it all happen?"

Macau smiles and tilts his head to the shoulder:

"Not all at once, my brother-in-law."

They are left alone, Pete holds out his hand, as if asking. Macau nods. Holding his hand, Pete stares intently, a few percent still... doubtful.

"If you're looking for similarities with Vegas — in vain. He took all the beauty, and I got the brains," the younger omega giggles.

"Oh, come on," Pete smiles shyly, "you are very beautiful. What's more - smart and kind. I will never forget how you always comforted and supported me. And taught me to play chess. Although I remained in them as a complete dummy."

"Yeah. And you let me eat sweets. Vegas is very strict on this matter. And  also let me stay in your bedroom for a night. And, actually... saved me, putting at risk your own life."

Pete nods. Takes a deep breath and asks:

"Where's Vegas? Is he all right?"

The smile disappears from Macau's face.

"Why are you silent? Where is Vegas, Macau? Where is my husband?"

"Eh... Vegas is gone."

"What?"

There follows silence again.

"What does "gone" mean, Macau?"

Coughing is heard from the side of the doors. With a sinking heart, Pete directs his gaze there.
