I've Had Years of Regret... But Never You

Always You

Leon and Chris were flipping through their family album and they smiled seeing old photos of the kids growing up and Sergio noticed them looking. "What are you guys looking at?"

The other kids seeing Sergio's attention swayed were also just as nosy.

"Our family album." The omega flipped to the next page and Dominique's eyes widened.

"No way is that you and Dad?!"

Chris chuckled. "It is us. Back in our early 20s on our first date."

"Really? You guys never told us how you met." Claudio stated.

The omega and alpha smiled at one another. "Well I think it's time we have."

FLASHBACK

Chris hummed as he was looking at the menu in his favorite diner. Truly the twenty-five year old male didn't know why he was looking at the menu so hard because no matter what he was definitely going to get the same thing. A burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and bacon, fries, and a strawberry milkshake. Another male was there at the time doing the same thing and when Chris looked over at the petite male it felt like cupid stuck him. He was so gorgeous to Chris. And he had such a radiating smile.

"Alright, I'll get that in for you." The waitress smiled.

"Ah thanks Jenna. You're the best."

"As you tell me every week!" She chuckled. Quickly put in the order and walked over to Chris.

"What can I get ya?"

Jenna waited a moment but Chris didn't say anything and she looked in the direction he was looking. Oh... she gets it. She leaned down whispering.

"That's Leon. Pretty cute huh?"

Chris coughed and blushed, feeling embarrassed.

"Uh yeah... he is."

"You should talk to him. He's a pretty shy kid. You never know you guys might end up being good friends. What's your name?"

"Chris..."

"Hey Leon!" Jenna called him. "Come meet my friend Chris!"

Jenna winked and she quickly wrote down Chris's order and headed to the POS system to enter it. Once she did, Leon had just made it to Chris and Jenna sat down a cup of coffee in front of Leon.

Leon sat down and he smiled at Chris before looking down. "...H-Hi... I'm Leon... Uh... nice to meet you Chris..." Leon put out his hand.

Chris took his head and the first thing he noticed was how small and soft it was. "Nice to meet you Leon. Come here often?"

Chris paused and he groaned as he rubbed his hands down his face, Leon thinking it was cute laughed and Chris shook his head.

"God that was lame. How embarrassing."

"No... don't be embarrassed. Yeah, I come here quite a bit. At least twice a week. Best breakfast spot in town."

"You only come to eat breakfast?"

"What do you come for?"

"Oh yanno the greasy burgers."

Leon laughed. "Burgers are good. But I prefer breakfast way more."

"Well... I must admit this diner is top tier but... I know another spot that has impeccable breakfast. Maybe if you are free this weekend I can take you?"

It was Leon's turn to blush and just then Jenna had brought their food. Chris honestly thought he lost his chance and Leon would ignore him. Leon, after recovering from the shock, looked at him.

"I would love to try that breakfast place with you."

"Great." Chris smiled happily and they both sat in the diner and ate their meal and laughed and talked. When the weekend came around they had gone to the breakfast place Chris knew which Leon loved and it actually turned into a regular date spot for them. They did so many different dates: zoo, aquarium, museum, drive-in movie. Chris never failed to buy Leon roses and make him feel loved and on their one year anniversary of being together, Chris got Leon a beautiful diamond locket. Because Chris knew one day that Leon would want to put a picture of their family inside. Who knew something as small as meeting at a diner would end up with them both finding the love of their life.

End of Flashback

The kids were in awe and Domi was sniffling.

"That is so cute! I can't believe that's how you guys met."

"It's so romantic." Claudio said smiling.

"I think we should put the photo up there with the rest of ours." Sergio said.

"Yeah!" The other kids agreed.

Chris and Leon looked at one another and smiled. Per their kids request they took the photo out and found an empty picture frame and then put the photo of them inside from when they had their first date at the diner and sat it in the middle of the first place with photos of their kids. Everyone smiled as they looked at the photo and the kids hugged their parents and one day, there would be so many more photos added to their fireplace as their children are building lives of their own. If someone told Leon 20 years ago he'd be married with children of his own. He would have laughed in their face, thinking it would never happen for him. After all the shit he had been through and all the regrets he had in life... one thing he never regretted was them. They completed him in more ways than one.
