Chapter 22: Family Bonding

"Leave it to us, okay?" Hirano reminded him again as he poked his head in Miyano's bedroom. Him, Tashiro, Yokota, and Fujimi were all piled into his nest, and the cozy atmosphere helped Tashiro relax.

"Thanks." Miyano told him, and the blonde smiled before leaving and shutting the door. From beyond it, he could hear the rest of his pack moving things around while talking and playing music.

It was soothing, it was home. And his inner omega was now content as the omegas scented the area with only good pheromones. It doused Tashiro into a restful sleep, and they all watched over him as they read BL.

With everyone helping clean up and organize their spare bedroom, they had Tashiro moved in quickly. The pack scent marked items to leave for him, and Miyano stayed behind in his packmate's new room.

"Are you okay?" Miyano fidgeted, unsure of what would be safe to ask.

Tashiro was sitting on the bed and holding the jacket Hanzawa left behind. "I will be..." The beta spoke softly, offering a small smile.

His inner omega jumped to attention, springing Miyano to walk up to him and scent his wrist. "Beta can relax now. Safe."

Tashiro's light green eyes blinked and sparkled. He grinned. "Thanks!"

Miyano smiled, gaining control once again. "If you need anything I'm just down the hall, okay? Oh, and there's some snacks in the pantry that you're welcome to have. Dad always buys too many, and most of them are too sweet for me."

Tashiro laughed lightly. It wasn't his usual cheery laugh, but it was close. "Thanks, Miyano. See you tomorrow?"

The head omega nodded, smiling, and left the room so Tashiro could settle in. His mother was waiting for him by his bedroom door.

"How is he doing?" She whispered.

"Better now that he's safe. Having the pack scent around him is helping him relax..." Having Hanzawa's scent will help the most... He idly thought.

His mom nodded, and then smiled proudly at him. "You're doing such a good job, Yoshi-kun."

"I feel like I'm not doing enough..."

She chuckled and hugged him. "It may feel that way, but you've done so much for still being so young and new at this."

Miyano smiled into her embrace, and let himself relax.

The morning came sooner than expected, and Miyano was wide awake. He was still feeling antsy, and wanted to be there for Tashiro when he woke up. He didn't realize his mother was helping his packmate until he knocked on his door.

"Come in! I'm just applying some bruise cream and a little makeup to hide the bruises better." His mother explained as she sat in front of a nervous Tashiro.

"Thank you very much!" The beta thanked her, holding still while she finished applying the last of it to his face. His mom enveloped the room with the calming effects of her omega nature. It was so distinctly maternal that it could relax anyone.

Miyano was surprised. The bruising was still there around his eye and cheek, but it looked more faded and less noticeable.

"How's it look?" Tashiro asked him, and Miyano smiled.

"It's barely there! Mom did a really good job!"

"Sweet!"

"I'll pack the cream and makeup in your bag so you can apply it later if you need to." His mom told him, packing the supplies for him. "The ice pack last night really helped the swelling on your bottom lip, so it's looking better."
