THINGS WERE "OKAY" and "back to normal." Nagi had found a study group that ended up being more effective than one-on-one sessions with Daisuke, and both alpha and omega had been all over each other at Isagi's birthday - which was a good sign, as bad as it might have been for their friends to see. At this point they should be used to it, considering how clingy Reo was, and that regardless of his public displays of affection, he never did anything particularly improper.
At the party, people approached Reo, which wasn't new. Nagi never knew if it was due to him being a sort-of public figure or the power of his appearance and manners. He used to be popular in high school, too, and even other omegas were attracted to him instead of envious. Kunigami had commented on it at the party as well, on how funny it was that although Reo was the one being ogled, he was also the most protective of the pair, glaring at anyone who laid their eyes on his alpha.
Reo had just laughed, saying he had more to lose. Nagi didn't understand why he would think that, since Reo could get any alpha he wanted even if he was taller and more built than the average omega. Seishiro was the one who had nothing in his favor aside from his height, probably.
Reo would kill him if he heard him say that. Seishiro had asked him once, when Reo began courting him, being only a boy with ruddy cheeks that insisted on following Seishiro everywhere and borrowing his clothes.
"Why do you like me?"
They were on the school's rooftop that day. Seishiro had been napping under the sun until the shadows of Reo's body covered him, and he blinked awake, wondering how Reo had found him. There it was for the first time, Reo's magical sixth sense.
The omega had smiled, announced he would rest with him (he never asked if he could) and after putting his pristine uniform jacket on the floor, he lay next to Nagi, with his head cocked towards him. That had been when Nagi popped the question.
"Because you're you," Reo had easily replied. "You're cool, handsome, and laid-back. You don't care for designations or family names. You just do your thing and come out first at everything you like."
Back then, Seishiro had thought it was instinctual. Mikage Reo had been raised powerful, and aware of that power-like alphas often did-he had looked for a partner who he considered to be on his level or above. Plus, he must have been attracted to Seishiro's pheromones.
Now, Reo always showed him more of his "reasons" for why he chose him. He said he liked Nagi's straightforwardness because unlike everybody else, Reo didn't have to search for hidden motives in his actions. He enjoyed the sounds the alpha made when he snored because he had grown used to falling asleep to them as if the rumble were a lullaby. He adored when Nagi asked him questions about school and let him boast about his knowledge, but also when they shared calm afternoons and Nagi played on his computer while Reo read over his shoulder, and sat on his lap. He liked the way Seishiro fucked him, too, how he stared with his pupils dilatated like he was going feral, and how he allowed his omega to take control instead of forcing him into submission. Reo drooled for that knot; pheromones spiking as soon as he saw the outline of Seishiro's erection early in the morning.
