Destiny - RenHyuck FF

Part 2

"Stop screaming for the moon goddess' sake!" The angry little boy crossed his arms while he glared at the hyperactive noise maker that disturbed his peace.

"Why should I? I can scream as much as I want and nobody can stop me my dear little snaggletooth~"

"Lee Donghyuck!"

"Huang Renjun!"

The two seven year olds glared at eachother before all hell broke loose after Donghyuck started teasing and Renjun grabbed his dictionary to chase him around the place and give the cheeky boy a beating.

It was always like that, the rivalry between the two boys who were more different than anything.

Renjun was the quiet boy who studied diligently and always had good grades being one of the top students in his year.

Donghyuck on the other hand was the class clown, the troublemaker, the one who always found new ways to cheat just to annoy his shorter classmate. He was hyperactive and never payed attention to classes yet he still held the position of the top student right beside Renjun.

The two were always competing for the class president and delivered the daily drama that the bored students lived for at school.

Everyone assumed that the two were alpha pups and didn't think much about their constant bickering or Renjun's occasional aggressive approach to silencing the other boy.

This all was rather Donghyuck teasing the shorter boy and enjoying his reactions than actual hurtful arguments, but both being stubborn they never really managed to sit down and end the constant cat and mouse game.

On his seventeenth birthday Donghyuck presented as an alpha just like everyone expected while the few months older Renjun was still the same and assuming he was a beta.

After that day the alpha's behavior changed little by little and he became more bearable and soft when it came to physical fights, aware of his strength and not wanting to abuse it.

He also started to follow Renjun more and sometimes cling to the other without a reason freaking the shorter out because of his unusual behavior.

Shortly before his eighteenth birthday when Donghyuck moved to Chicago Renjun was still scentless and smaller in build even for a beta but that was what he was, at least back then.

Thinking about getting the boy all riled up so that he'd end up chasing him down with a slipper while cursing loudly made the alpha smile in his sleep, at least excited about one thing back here in Seoul.

Renjun shrieked when a body suddenly attacked him and all he could make out was the electric blue hair and the strong eucalyptus scent surrounding them.

He was ready to throw fists at the alpha before the person pulled away with a huge grin that made all his resolve crumble.

"Mark?"

"I almost didn't recognise you! You look so different with the long hair Renjun-ah, much more mature and soft than before."

The older eyed the omega with a curious look sensing that something was off about the younger yet not knowing what.

Renjun gave him a tight lipped smile and felt his eyes start watering from the strong scent that the alpha released in happiness.

"Hyung, did you come here right after you arrived by plane?"

"Yeah, why?"

The younger rubbed his nose and let out a quiet 'you reek' that Mark caught and immediately put some distance between them.

The alpha started sniffing his own body before looking at the younger with a questioning look but Renjun just shook his head.

"It's not like that, it's just that your scent is just very strong from all day being in the same clothes."

"Oh! I guess it's also because back there people don't usually wear scent bloc- wait a moment... You can smell my scent?!"

Renjun's face dropped before going red and turning away from the confused alpha who was staring at him with a thousand questions.

"You're not a beta..."

"What?"

"That's why you feel different! You are not a beta after all if you can smell my scent, but you don't look like an alpha either... Don't tell me-"

"The surprise came two years ago and everyone was acting like I was a newborn baby after finding out I presented as an omega.

Being a late bloomer also meant that my wolf was more sensitive and it took us a longer time to bond and get used to one another."

"How are you dealing with it? I mean you thought you'd become an alpha for most of your childhood and then settled on being a beta after your seventeenth birthday, but you're suddenly an omega?"

"I'm not gonna lie about it not being hard but I'm okay now, just a little sensitive to strong scents."

Mark looked at his childhood friend as if it was the first time he saw the younger, the usual raging fire in his eyes having dimmed to a calm steadily burning ember.

Even his features looked softer with his longer hair that the omega had dyed in two different shades, his frame just as small as it was when they were teens, his skin a few shades whiter than when they used to play outdoors all day long.

The alpha was mesmerized by the changes his friend went through and was determined to find out everything that has happened since he left Seoul entertaining Renjun for a while with his own stories as well.
