Gossamer - Discontinued

Renjun and Donghyuck found Chenle sitting in Starmorks on the phone with someone, doing his homework at the same time. Going over, they recognised their friend Yukhei's little brother Kunhang. "Hey," Renjun nodded, and Kunhang waved enthusiastically.

"Hi!" Kunhang said. "I'm guessing you have to go now, so it was nice catching up Chenle! I'll see you later?"

"Of course!" With that, Chenle hung up and looked at the two. "Let's go!"

"Can I get coffee first?" Donghyuck whined, and Chenle nodded as Donghyuck went to the cashier and ordered thirty two ounces of pure death with a small amount of sugar and Renjun sighed.

"Did Mark really -"

"Don't even. This is to revive myself." They watched as Donghyuck managed to down the entire thirty two ounces by the time they got to the bus, wishing they could be shocked but they really weren't.

Paying their fares, they sat in the very back for eleven stops then pressed the button, causing the twelfth stop, where they got off.

One block to the east, there was a small bakery called Almond Flowers, and they opened the door to be enveloped in the scent of fresh pastries, traces of multiple scents, mixed, and the distinct scent of an omega, exactly like honey.

"Welcome," a lyrical voice said, and Renjun ran over to hug his brother. "Oh! Jun!"

"Hi Sicheng," Renjun said, hugging his brother tightly.

"Chenle!" Sicheng smiled, and Chenle nodded at him. Sicheng was considered a massive failure by the Dong-Huang family - both of his parents were alphas, and Renjun as a True Beta, was also considered a failure.

However, as Sicheng was an Omega, he had been practically shamed in his family, which included the Zhongs.

Chenle always walked them there then left, taking the bus home after he knew Sicheng was safe.

Chenle waved goodbye and left, Sicheng sighing then looking at the other two. "I'll close for a break. Clean up."

Donghyuck and Renjun nodded, going up the stairs and to the third floor, the second being primarily empty except for baking supplies and a shower with fresh clothes belonging to Hyuck and Renjun.

Renjun washed off first, feeling better now that the heavy molasses smell was off. Instead of burnt molasses, Peru Balsam filled the floor, slightly spicy and sweet.

Sighing in bliss, Renjun took a towel and dried off, putting on clothes and walking out to switch with Donghyuck.

Soon the smell of lavender mixed with peru balsam, and Donghyuck stepped out wearing a loose outfit with a towel in his hair.

"God, it feels so good to get that perfume off." Donghyuck groaned, and Renjun nodded, climbing the stairs up to Sicheng and Yuta's living space, flopping on the couch to see Yuta going through papers at his table.

"Hi boys," Yuta said, looking up at them through his glasses.

"Hi," Donghyuck said enthusiastically.

"I smell you've washed off the perfume," Yuta hummed. "Sicheng's coming up then?"

"Yep!" Renjun chirped happily. "I greatly enjoy these times."

"Me too," Donghyuck said, putting his feet on Renjun's stomach. Renjun groaned and shoved them off, leaning against Hyuck instead, Donghyuck sighing as Renjun began to play with his hair.

"You two are so different when you don't have those inhibitors on."

"It's the omega senses," Sicheng said, coming up and curling into Yuta, Yuta pressing a kiss to Sicheng's cheek. "They crave affection from their mates or other omegas."
