"Beautiful" (Omegaverse Michael x Noah)

~43~ "Time-off."

~Noah~
"I thought you were gonna take a few months off." Michael sighed, standing in front of the desk in my office with crossed arms and his tail slowly flicking as he grew more annoyed with me.

"I know, but I just need to finish up some things." I replied, he got upset this morning when I realized I still had work to do, he's been following me around trying to convince me otherwise ever since.

"I thought that's what you were doing the last time! How can there possibly still be more to finish?" He rolled his eyes.

"I'm running an entire fucking kingdom here, virtually, alone." I opened my desk drawer, looking for all the papers I needed to work on.

"That's just not true, you have at least a dozen workers and their entire jobs are to help you!" He snapped.

"Things get more complicated that way, it's easier if I do it alone."

"You're so fucking stubborn, if you don't wanna spend time with me just say it. You don't need to keep hiding in here." He mumbled, looking away as his tail slowly stopped moving.

"Michael— that's not it-" I attempted to speak.

"Whatever, I'll leave you alone." His ears fell down as he walked away, I groaned and laid my forehead on my hands.

I stared down at the paper in front of my eyes, just about to actually start working when the door opened once again, I didn't bother lifting my head.

"He's not wrong, you really don't have to be here." Lily walked in, holding a clipboard as she flopped down on the couch next to the door.

"Not now, Lily." I recognized her just by her voice, I wasn't into holding a conversation after getting scolded by my mate.

"You are stubborn."

"Nice to know you were eavesdropping the entire time." I leaned back in my chair, glaring at her.

"He made some valid points."

"Shut up." I grumbled, standing up and walking over to the bottle of scotch on the table, pouring it into and class and practically chugging it down. 

"Didn't you say you were taking the next few months off?" She crossed her legs, crooking an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah- I will." I mumbled, taking another sip, knowing it took a lot to get me even a bit tipsy, I'd be fine. "I just- need to do it myself." I sloshed the liquid around in the glass, watching it drip off the sides back into the cup.

"You do realize that Alex's entire job description is filling in for you?"

"Shut up." I repeated, growling lightly.

"Just trying to help, jeez dude." She stood up, crossing her arms as her ears went back, like they always do when she's mad.

"I didn't ask for your help." I sneered, finishing off the cup.

"You're so full of yourself, you think you're so tough when we can all see right through you. I'm only trying to help you because If see you're upset I know Michael can." She walked up to me and looked up at me, "So just get over yourself, estúpido alfa." She placed her hands on her hips and huffed.

I rolled my eyes, "If I don't run this kingdom right it means I'm a failure."

"Who cares? Nobody's watching you." She reached up and briefly pulled on my hair before letting go.

"Jesus Christ— and— my parents are, one mistake and they're breathing down my neck."

"So? Fuck them, they can't do anything anymore."
