As morning light streamed softly through the curtains, Chef Oab lay awake, unable to close his eyes even for a moment. He found himself entranced, staring at the precious little being nestled between him and Plawan. The sight of Buea, so small and innocent, brought a swell of emotions he couldn't fully articulate.
The night before, he had managed to convince Plawan to let the baby sleep between them, feeling an overwhelming need to be close to both of them. Plawan had sensed Oab's hesitation, his reluctance to let go, and had readily agreed, perhaps realizing how crucial it was for him to feel the warmth of his son nearby. The intimacy of the moment enveloped them all, creating a cocoon of comfort that Oab never wanted to end.
Every so often, he shifted his gaze from Plawan to Buea, his heart racing with awe. The baby's tiny features were a perfect blend of both parents, the delicate curve of his nose, the way his little mouth formed a slight pout as he slept. Oab couldn't help but caress Buea's tiny face, his fingers brushing over the soft, velvety skin as if he were afraid to disturb this perfect moment. Each gentle touch felt like a promise, an unspoken vow to protect and cherish him forever.
Chef Oab marveled at how quickly he had fallen in love with this little creature. It was astonishing how something so small could completely captivate his heart. He had expected it to take time, for emotions to blossom slowly as he got to know his son, but instead, he found himself overwhelmed by an immediate rush of affection. Buea stirred slightly in his sleep, and Oab's breath caught in his throat.
He leaned closer, whispering softly, "You're so beautiful, little one." It felt surreal, the warmth of the baby against his side, the way Buea instinctively nuzzled closer to him as if he knew he was safe. The bond that had formed in such a short time left Oab feeling breathless. How could he love someone he had just met so deeply?
With every gentle rise and fall of Buea's chest, Oab felt a stirring within him—a fierce protectiveness that ignited a fire in his heart. He understood that he would do anything for this child, that he would fight against any obstacle to ensure Buea's happiness and security. It was a feeling so primal, so deeply ingrained, that it left him both exhilarated and terrified.
Beside him, Plawan stirred, the soft sound of his breathing filling the space. Oab turned his attention to the omega, watching as Plawan's eyelids fluttered open, revealing those familiar, warm eyes that always seemed to draw him in. "Morning," Plawan murmured, a soft smile breaking across his face as he stretched out beside them.
"Morning," Oab replied, his voice barely above a whisper. He couldn't help but smile back, his heart swelling with affection as he glanced down at Buea, still peacefully asleep. "Look at him," Oab said, his voice thick with emotion. "He's perfect."
Plawan's gaze followed his, and the smile on his face widened. "He really is," he agreed, his voice gentle.
Oab replied, his voice soft. He couldn't suppress the smile that spread across his face as he looked at them. "I didn't want to wake you."
Plawan chuckled lightly, stretching his arms above his head. "I'm glad you didn't. I was just having the best dream." His gaze shifted to Buea, and his expression softened.
Oab nodded, feeling a lump form in his throat. " I can't believe he's ours."
Plawan reached out, brushing his fingers against Buea's tiny hand, and Oab couldn't help but feel the warmth radiating from their connection. "I'm glad we're doing this together," Plawan said quietly, his eyes glistening with emotion.
"Me too," Oab replied, his heart swelling with gratitude. "I promise to be here, for both of you. I won't let you down again."
Plawan's smile brightened, and the warmth in his gaze made Oab's heart race. In that moment, all doubts faded away. They had a long way to go, but as long as they faced it together, he knew they could conquer anything. With Buea nestled safely between them, Oab felt an overwhelming sense of hope for their future, and he couldn't wait to embrace every moment of it.
