Yurio X Otabek; Alpha and Omega

'The Talk'

Otabek's POV

I dabbed his forehead with the damp cloth, resting my hand on his head, stroking his silky blonde hair. He was beautiful, no-one could deny it, after all, he had thousands of fans who would give anything to be with him, even some of the boys!

I closed my eyes and sighed, feeling some of the stress drain from me at the mixed feeling of Yurio's silky hair and knowing he would be alright.

I relaxed with my eyes closed for a few minutes it seemed, but what was probably a couple of hours before a hand made contact with my cheek, swatting me away in annoyance.

My eyes flew open, and I looked over at him to see his eyes were wide open, and he was sweating profusely.

He was glaring at me in a way that clearly said "What the fuck was that for???"

The two boys stared at each other for a long period of time, before Yurio sighed and layed back down, murmuring "don't touch me" before giving another stress filled sigh.

Yurio's POV

I was comfortable, but uncomfortable at the same time. I was hot and restless, yet the fluffy pillows and the soft mattress as well as it's silky covers was making my body and mind feel relaxed and at ease.

I could feel my consciousness drift away from my body as I lay still, knowing I was safe, after all. Otabek is a trusted friend.

My mind drifted through blurred dreams that were soon forgotten as the next approached, and although I didn't feel 100%, at least I was safe.

A sudden feeling of... something rushed through me, and even in my dreams, I felt at ease.

It remained with me for a while, before I finally found myself back in my body and able to open my eyes.

And then it hit me; a hand running through my hair. I didn't open my eyes, I just lashed out at the person touching me, slapping them with the back of my hand.

How could I have found that hand soothing? The hand that stroked my hair like nothing had happened... it reminded me way too much of... that man.

His hands all over my body, groping, touching...

I snapped my eyes open, prepared to attack, only to see Otabek wincing whilst touching the mark I gave him on his cheek.

He then swung his gaze round to meet me, silently challenging me. I glared into his chestnut eyes for a while, before laying back and, in my embarrassment, murmuring, "don't touch me."

I sighed, feeling utterly stressed and humiliated. I was an idiot. Of course it was Otabek. That man was gone. I was safe with Otabek. Still, I just thought for a split second...

My cheeks flushed from my humiliation, if I had realised it was Otabek, I would have let him stroke my hair more, it was... nice...

I was hoping to fall back into my sleep, but my mind and body told me otherwise. I was completely awake now.

But still I kept my eyes closed, pretending to sleep, hoping it would come true....

"Yurio, I know your awake."

Yep. Otabek's eyes never miss any details.

I gasped quietly as a cool hand rested on my forehead, calming my boiling body.
