Day By Day; MYG

36

~~~~~~

It was the first day of the competition and Yoongi and Y/N were walking hand in hand down to the village. It was probably too early in the morning for Yoongi's liking, but Y/N had asked him the night before if they could go down a bit early to walk around a bit before the competition started and he could never say no to his mate. He was doing fine though now that he had his usual large cup of coffee to wake him up. It was deep into the winter season and Y/N was bundled in multiple layers, hoping to stave off the chill breeze, but even with all the layers, she was still cold. Yoongi, though, was only wearing jeans, a T-shirt, and a jacket, and didn't seem bothered by the cold at all.

Y/N glanced over at Yoongi who was perfectly content with the cold morning air and silently cursed at how warm Alpha's were. Her breath fogged in the air, and she couldn't help but huddle closer to Yoongi as another shiver racked through her body. Feeling her shivering against his body, Yoongi silently let go of Y/N's hand, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. Y/N immediately felt his warmth seep through her coat, thankful that he was basically a walking heater. As they got closer to the training field, crowds started to form and the pathways got a lot more congested, cheerful chatter and laughter heard throughout the area. The crowd gave the couple no issue though, as they parted slightly around them and the two guards on either side of Yoongi and Y/N.

"Is there anything you want to do first, Angel? We've got about an hour or so before we have to be at the field so we should have plenty of time to wander around, and if we miss anything, we have two more days. So, no need to rush."

"I want to see everything but first show me what your favorite parts of it were." Yoongi smiled before pulling Y/N further into the crowd, practically dragging her along in his excitement. He led Y/N around to multiple games and carts, looking like a child on Christmas morning. It was so astonishing for Y/N to see Yoongi so relaxed and openly enjoy himself, despite being in public. It was heart-warming to see him let his guard down a bit, even if he didn't realize it. They managed to do a lot in the hour they had, but eventually, it was time for the competition to begin. Yoongi led Y/N up to the platform in front of the field, the same one from the gathering where she had been introduced to the pack. Yoongi let Y/N sit down first, making sure she was comfortable before sitting in his own chair, reaching across their armrests to slot his hand in Y/N's.

The couple waited for a bit as pack members sat down in the foldable chairs set out, making the outline of a circle for the competitors to fight in while a handful of pack members went to the middle of the field, warming up and stretching. Once everyone had arrived Yoongi pushed himself up, walking to the edge of the platform.

"Thank you all for coming, I hope you're all keeping warm and enjoying your day so far. Now for today's matches, you will be fighting in human form. The brackets have already been made so you should know who you're up against and what the rules are. I expect a clean fight, especially from those of you who have competed before. First and foremost, we are still a pack so we will not be harming each other to the point of a major injury, but if that does somehow occur there are medical staff on standby. Now, will the first competitors please step up."

No matter how long they had been together, it was still weird seeing Yoongi like this. He was always so quiet and soft-spoken when they were alone. With his speech done, Yoongi turned on his heel, coming to sit back down, giving Y/N a small smile and a wink as he slipped his hand back in his mate's before giving the signal for the first match to begin. It was an Omega female versus a Beta male, both shaking out their limbs to warm up. The two competitors walked to two opposite sides of the field, getting in a fighting position. Once they were given the go-ahead to begin fighting, they sprinted off towards each other at great speed, meeting in the middle. The Beta swung first with great force, going for the Omega's neck but she was quick to duck, sweeping her leg around to knock him over. With the momentum of his swing coupled with the leg sweep he went barreling to the ground but quickly popped right back up again. The match went on for about half an hour and whenever it seemed like one of them had gained the upper hand the other would retaliate. It almost seemed like they were too evenly matched, but in the end, it was the Omega that had the energy and stamina to last long enough to deliver the final blow, claiming victory in the first match.

After many matches, many victories, and many defeats, the competition ended for the day as the sky grew dark. All the chairs were pushed to the side as stronger pack members brought in long, wooden tables, lining them up in rows before setting all the chairs along them. Another table was set in front of the platform for the Alpha, his party to sit. Lights were strung out on poles that surrounded the field, illuminating the area as pack members brought out different dishes they had made at home to share with the pack, setting them on the tables. Once everyone had settled down and were seated, Yoongi stood up from his spot.

"Thank you all for this successful first day of the competition. Now please dig in and enjoy the feast. You've all earned it." As he sat back down everyone began piling food onto their plates. Dishes were passed between tables, and a rumble of light, cheerful conversations began, filling up the field. Conversations at the Head Alpha's table picked up quickly as they all shared stories that had a few of them either nearly spitting out their drinks or nearly choking from laughing so hard.

As the night progressed Y/N found herself gravitating closer to Yoongi till they were knee to knee. She lazily rested her head on Yoongi's shoulder, stealing bites of food from his plate now and then, not really hungry, but it was just so good, she couldn't stop herself. Yoongi didn't mind though; he found it cute. So, he let her steal bites from his plate, even feeding her a bit himself, almost chuckling at how she lazily took the fork into her mouth before slowly retracting it, clearly tired as her eyes drooped slightly. Y/N had even taken to feeding Yoongi a few bites which the Alpha happily took as the pair were stuck in their own domestic bliss. Once the dinner was over and done with, Yoongi found himself back in Y/N's nest, holding her close to his chest.

"Let's do it tomorrow," Y/N suggested, turning around in Yoongi's embrace so she was facing him.

"Do what?" Yoongi mused, turning his gaze down to meet Y/N's.

"Transform together. Like in between one of the fights or on one of the breaks. If you don't have anything to do in between, let's do it tomorrow." Yoongi smiled at Y/N, leaning down slightly to peck her lips before rubbing their noses together.

"Let's do it. I know a spot that would be perfect, it's beautiful and secluded, just the two of us." Y/N smiled against his lips.

"Perfect."
