Love Me As I Am

"Babe," Hitoshi lightly rocked the sleeping beta to wake him up, "lunch is here."

He moaned slightly before finally pulling himself to wake up. "You went without me?" He pouted.

"We did get you some nuggets." Eijiro held out a brown bag with food inside.

Denki smiled as he took the bag, "Thank you. So who won?"

Before Eijiro could declare Hitoshi the winner, Hitoshi spoke up. "Eijiro did. He is one hell of a gamer buddy." Thoes few words made the beta perk up excited and hugged his mate around his neck.

Eijiro looked at him confused and Hitoshi just simply mouthed, Just go with it. Eijiro giving a confused nod.

The three sat around eating their lunch. Denki laid against Hitoshi with his head on his shoulder as he said he had no energy to sit up alone as Eijiro sat across from them. He watched as every now and then Hitoshi would feed his mate a fry, and Denki tried to feed him a chicken nugget but failing. Hitoshi not in the mood to eat a lot right now.

They talked for what seemed like hours, more of Denki talking then the others. He told stories of his time in the town and how he had met Hitoshi. He also talked about how the alpha was awkward when it came to courting the beta. It took a while for him to finally get it right due to their completely different personalities. Hitoshi kept getting him things that he liked more than what the beta did. But eventually, he realized how he was messing up.

"And he was such a nervous wreck when it came to my first cycle with him." Denki giggled recalling the memory.

"I don't think he wants to hear about any of that." Hitoshi looked away embarrassed with a shy blush on his cheeks.

"I'm not so interested in the sex part but I'd love to learn about a beta's cycle." Eijiro took a bite of his burger.

"So a betas cycle is kind of like a mix of an alpha's and omega's cycle." He started, "For a beta we get taken over by instincts but for us it's more of a need for a pack. Like we won't calm until we have our pack."

"And what about mates? If it's okay I ask." Eijiro wondered.

"Oh it's fine." Denki smiled, "When we have just our mate it does turn sexual. It's like when the pack and mate are around it's all clean but if it's just the mate it's almost as if I'm omega and in heat. Isn't that right baby." Denki kissed the soft cheek of Hitoshi's.

"Yea you turn into a little gremlin." Hitoshi scoffed hiding the fact that he was actually happy about it. He may look distant on the outside but deep down he was just like any other person. He is very affectionate and loving, very few got to see that side of him.

Eijiro sat there nervous about what he wanted to say. He thought about the alpha's words hard. He thought about Denki's story and about how his mate said he was a trustworthy person. His stomach erupted in butterflies as he debated on sharing his past. Taking a deep breath he looked down at his lap, "Can I share something with you?" His eyes never left his crossed legs.

"What is it?" Denki chewed up a nugget.

"Don't talk with your mouth full." Hitoshi hissed at him.

"I want to share my story with you." Eijiro's voice shook.

"If your not ready." Denki started.

"If I don't tell you now that I don't think I ever will." The omega interrupted.

"Go ahead." Denki placed his hand on Eijiro's jean covered knee.

"At my old school I was bullied hard about how tall I am. To be an omega that size you'll never find a mate. They would say." Eijiro's hands shook as he told his story. "I was always an easy target for everyone and at that time I was just tall I didn't have any strength to back it up. One day I met a guy and we just seemed to click and it didn't take long until we became really good friends. One day he insisted on us hanging out but my moms was going out to the movies for a date and it would be the first time that we would hang out alone."

Denki moved from his mate to comfort his friend, "You don't have to say more if you're not ready."

"Well my mom Ura said it would be okay," he decided to continue, "But Kyo thought differently. Eventually it was decided that he could come because Ura convinced Kyo that she was just being too protective. They ended up having to leave before he got there and at the time I didn't know anything about cycles. Well he came in panting like he had been running and so I had quickly let him in and went to go get some water for him. I went back into my room to find that he had went through my clothes and found a pair of my heat underwear that I use and I found him with them pressed to his nose, smelling them."

"I didn't know what was happening but I knew that it wasn't right so I tried to get him out of the house but he didn't like that answer. Instead he grabbed me and slammed me on my bed. I could smell his scent which I found strange at the time as I had never made a pack with him. Turns out he was in rut. He told me about how I was to tell for his taste but that I'd work for now." A chill crept down his spine at the memories.

"Please tell me he didn't." Hitoshi couldn't even finish the sentence.

"No," Eijiro answered finally looking up from his lap as a tear ran down his cheek, "Luckly my moms made it home to stop that. Kyo pulled him off me and Ura covered me up as at that point I was in noting but my underwear. He did trigger a heat and I had that happen but other then my ear it was the worst thing that happened."

"What did he do to your ear?" Denki asked with concern.

Eijiro turned his head to show the full set of teeth marks that he left behind on his left ear, "He didn't want to mark me but the urge was to powerful I guess so instead he bit down on my ear. It bled for a while and my mom tried her best to keep it clean but with me being in heat I wasn't able to go to the hospital or I'd have every alpha trying to come after me. It's my forever reminder that it happened."

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Denki whispered taking Eijiro's large hand into his own ones.

"The town I lived it wasn't any better either." Eijiro told more, "It was one of thoes towns that believed in the older beliefs. Males and females only, I got hate due to my parents. They also didn't like different; me being an omega looking like this."

"You should never hate how you are born into this world." Hitoshi spoke quick, "Everyone is different, there is no such thing as a normal looking omega, beta, or alpha."

"Your are you," Denki smiled brightly up at him, "And that is just as perfect as it needs to be."
