His Omega of Domination

"Are you and Tate...together?"

Jeremiah truly took himself here. Looking at Ivan who just asked him that question, his eyes lowering.

Ivan already knew they weren't...Tate said so; but he wanted to make sure if he could rely on that source. Everything about his motives felt fake and more motivated towards himself than anyone else.

Ivan would know...since he used to do the same thing.

"No," Jeremiah responds as he ignores Ivan's evident joy from that, "but he is my..."

Ivan waited for him to say, watching as he clearly hesitated on saying. He didn't push him to say it because he was trying to be kinder...but this would've been something he'd push out of him. Now he has to be patient.

"We're trying out him being my Omega of domination, that's all. I didn't propose it, he did. He picked up on the dynamic we had and I didn't disagree because I...I have become used to having someone dominate my actions and being. If he wants me somewhere or wants me to have sex with him, I'll do it. He's much kinder in his domination than you are, you were an absolute menace upon me. I actually prefer him over you. He's nicer and knows how to treat me like a person, not an object or a piece of scum below you." Jeremiah finally explains while looking right into Ivan's eyes.

Ivan didn't say anything, but he would be lying if he said he wasn't upset. It upset him that in this reality, Jeremiah had already been with someone else besides him.

"Well...if he's so much better, why haven't you two become official?"

Jeremiah sat back against the chair, looking at Ivan with annoyance. His eyes lowering off of him as he began to chuckle.

"Why do you think? It's not easy to just go into another relationship when I promised myself from when I was a child that you and I would be together, forever. I respect Tate enough to not do that to him, it all comes down to respect. Something you never had for me, but that I had for you."

Ivan contemplated on how he could make this work. Because he was able to get him alone without Tate around, but...it didn't seem like he'd do anything that would go against Tate either. They weren't in a relationship, but that didn't mean that he'd do anything that would jeopardize the respect he held for him.

"You care about Tate, don't you?"

"I do, very much. He was there for me when I felt like dying. I am alive...because of him. You really know how to make someone feel like they don't matter Ivan." Jeremiah chuckled, but Ivan could hear the pain in his voice.

He saw the way Jeremiah's eyes began to water, but he would force away those tears. Ivan felt his heart hurting in a way he never felt before.

Why didn't he feel this way before?

Jeremiah would tell him that he hurt him, but he didn't listen. He just continued to be a piece of shit to him.

And he hated himself for it.

"I know...I don't know what I was thinking. I'm not...really good at this. Good at...being honest and truly expressing how I feel at present. I was a piece of shit to you, I know. But I...I miss you." Ivan breathed, but Jeremiah couldn't allow himself to be swayed by that as he stood up now.

He looked down at Ivan painfully, shaking his head.

"Don't...please. You're only doing this because you see I'm trying to move on. Why...say something now? You miss tormenting me, nothing more." Jeremiah didn't understand the pain within Ivan's eyes, the desperation towards him.
