(OhmNanon) Match Made in Heaven

A Blossoming Love.

CHAPTER 6

Currently Nanon was lying awake in his bed and thinking about the events of the past month.

It had been one full day since Nanon had seen the Emperor. The last time he saw his Alpha was him petting the palace dogs on his way to an important meeting. Nanon and his party of Omegas were lounging in the palace gardens with an elaborate picnic. Nanon just couldn't get that image out of his head.

His Alpha, who was known for his ruthless and fierce ways, was just standing there and melting over a bunch of puppies. He knew that many Omegas in his party had a crush on the emperor. Who wouldn't honestly? But Nanon did take pride in the fact the he was the one the Emperor married. P'Gun called it cute and that he was being possessive but why would Nanon be possessive?

Was P'Gun right? Was he really in love?

It was true that Nanon had not felt this way about any one before. Not even Korn. The mere thought of comparing the Emperor to Korn made him uncomfortable. Korn had taken his liberties with Nanon since day one because he knew that they were bound together by their respective families. And the Emperor on the other hand had been nothing but respectful and considerate. And so so gentle and so so handsome.

Yeah Nanon was in love.

However, for some reason he had not seen the object of his affections since then and that was making Nanon sad. Their small encounters had somehow become Nanon's favourite thing during the day. He looked forward to peeping at the Emperor from across the courtyard, sharing gentle smiles as they walked by each other in the palace, the weekly royal dinner where he had to sit next to his Alpha and they shyly made small conversation. Every time he saw his Alpha, he would feel a little more in love.

And then, a few days ago, as Nanon was deep into his plans for the running water system, he received an invitation from the Emperor asking Nanon to join him for a walk. Khaotung, the Omega who had brought the invitation to him was giggling and blushing all while conveying it to him. Gun and Chimon nearly lost their minds and immediately started fretting over how he looked.

Well in Nanon's defence he had been awake for nearly 36 hours now. His eyes were almost black with big dark circles surrounding them. His hair was longer and in a constant bed head state. He looked tired and over-worked. There was no hope to salvage his look, yet as he matched his step with the Emperor walking in the courtyard, his Alpha just looked at him with a small smile and whispered 'beautiful'. Nanon had turned into a tomato right there on the spot and just when he thought blushing further was impossible, the Emperor picked a bunch of flowers from the garden and offered it to Nanon.

Those flowers were still there in Nanon's personal diary somewhere.

Yes. He was definitely in love.

The most surprising part of the conversation that day was when Nanon felt comfortable enough to bring up his project in front of the Emperor, he did not just brush it off after listening to it, like Ae or Korn would have done, rather he was genuinely curious. He even asked Nanon if he could bring it up in his next court proceedings.

Nanon was shocked. He was not only being encouraged to experiment and invent rather his ideas were finding implementation in the Empire. He really had hit gold mine. Soon the conversations took a more personal turn, as the ever curious Emperor asked Nanon about his culture, customs, truly trying to understand them.

In these little encounters, Nanon had discovered a true friend within the Emperor.

Despite all this romance blossoming between them, he had not seen his Emperor for an entire day now and that was just...not right.
