They were just touching each other, it was like some kind of trance.

It wasn't time for Feng Xin's rut, and it was too early for Mu Qing's heat. The Alpha had expected a new pheromone bomb, this was the shortest, easiest way for them to mate. An Omega's call, a gentle allure.

Ah, but...

No.

It was just his lover, just him, his breath, his touch, his personal scent. Just him.

And, of course, too logically, Mu Qing himself had expected his Alpha's pheromones to hit him, make him slow and lazy, make him feel heavy and craving. No, not this time.

Ah. So romantic.

This was probably how Betas mated, right? Just... counting on... what? Love? Attraction? Desire?

It was strange, to say the least, but the Alpha was looking at his mate carefully, the worry for him never left Feng Xin, and he was sure that everything was going to be OK, because all he could detect in the scent was calm, and peace, and Mu Qing was smiling.

Two careful palms slid over his chest, and he shuddered. Tonight was so different from what they usually did!

- I want you to know that I love you. You've sacrificed so much for me, and I am still failing to make you happy...  -  the Omega whispered, caressing over the strong, warm body.  –  I am still failing to give you... the only gift I can give you really... And you? You are still staying with me... Will you stay with me... if I can't give you a child... at all?

The beautiful eyes were swimming in sorrow, that same liquid sorrow that Feng Xin hated so much. 

He now got to his knees in the bed, and opened his arms a little, inviting his Omega in, without thinking, without conditions, just in silence.

Mu Qing whimpered and kneeled closer too, snuggling in the massive Alpha's body, searching for solace, for protection from something quite invisible, from some future sadness.

- I won't ever let you go. Even when you behave like a brat. Even when you spend fucking hours shopping for rabbit food. Even if we never have kids. Kids are noisy and overrated anyway.

He hoped, deeply, that he would manage to make Mu Qing smile, but the Omega was just hushed in his embrace, and now he squeezed harder, just to make sure that they were together, that his husband knew he  was there for him, because the boy wasn't purring.

It was an awful realization, on Feng Xin's part, this awful silence. He suddenly realized that nothing was scarier, and worse, than an Omega that was not purring. It usually meant that the Omega was very sick, or depressed, or dying, or...

- Something is wrong with me, Alpha. I feel it deep inside.  –  Mu Qing said quietly, sorrowfully.

The simple words made Feng Xin shudder. He was so torn how to react! He so wanted to call his Papa for advice!

NO!

He clenched his teeth. 

He was old enough already; he was married now. He had to take responsibility!

So, the instinctive Alpha response? What would it be?

Mu Qing gasped, as he got sharply yanked away from the warm, comforting embrace, and literally tossed onto the bed, to lie on his back. Wide-eyes, startled, he now stared at his frowning husband with something close to fear.

Feng Xin bent over him, moving on top of him quicker than his bulky body would ever suggest, and now growled low, menacingly:

- Even if we never have pups... Even if there's something really wrong with you... I am NEVER letting you go, you motherfucking idiot. Not ever! Because... You, stubborn Omega... You! You, brat... You, Mu Qing... YOU!!! You are my only happiness! Get it?!?

Panting still, after the sudden movement, Mu Qing listened, so overwhelmed by this confession that he truly forgot all about pheromones. 

His eyes filled up with tears again, and he slowly wrapped his arms around the beloved shoulders, murmuring:

- I love you so much. My mate, you are my life.

No reply, another growl, but this time his tears were drunk by a careful kiss, and his open mouth was caressed by the most perfect lips in the world. They kissed, slowly and sweetly, because the Omega already knew  –  no matter how angry his Alpha looked, no matter how harsh his words, Feng Xin's touch, his love, they were always gentle.

- I wanna make you happy... Are you happy, husband?

Whenever the boy called his mate this, it was always as if sheer electricity ran through Feng Xin's body. It was some special kind of bliss, it was some secretly longed-for recognition on some higher level, neverminding titles and what society decreed.

He stared down into the beautifully blushing face, and spoke softly, reassuring:

- I am happy, my lovely. You make me so happy. Every single day. Every time we touch. All the time, mate.

Ah, yes. Here it was. Finally.

- Do you wanna fuck all night, and stay in bed all day, Alpha?  -  Mu Qing purred seductively.

Feng Xin raised an eyebrow at the boldness, and at the total lack of pheromones still.

- What now? Let Dianxia handle the bar without us, just with that shithead Beta there?  -  Feng Xin grinned at him, showing him almost all of his teeth.  –  HELL, YEA!

Mu Qing's ringing laughter resounded in the bedroom, and the Alpha's heart immediately raced with happiness. 

He leaned in again, murmuring:

- I don't need no pheromones to love you. I don't need to know we're fated, or compatible, or whatever the fuck, to want you... Puppy, your happy purr is enough...

Mu Qing's happy smile was everything now. His happy purring was everything right now.

The Alpha moved a little down to kiss over his belly, where the vibration was the strongest, and it just intensified under his lips.

Feng Xin could not wish for more. 

And then he suddenly got more:

- Get the toys! I am in the mood tonight!

- Quit giving me orders, you rabid Omega, huh!!!  –  Feng Xin growled into the soft belly, but he was secretly smirking.
