I'm dead without you (omegaverse)

Kei

Shiro Nakamura had felt truly loved by only one person in his life, and that was Kei. The boy with chestnut-colored hair, light brown eyes, and who always had a happy smile on his pink lips. A smile that got so bright whenever he saw Shiro.

No one ever expected that Kei would fall so hard for Shiro, but he did. They were only a few years old when Kei confessed, in a childish manner, that he would marry Shiro when they grew up. None of the adults took it seriously, but Kei never stopped confessing his love for his best friend.

When they were twelve years old, Shiro and Kei declared to their families that they were a couple. The adults were thrilled. Shiro's father and Kei's father were close friends since childhood, and the thought of the two families joining together made the men very happy. Shiro's mother was to Shiro's surprise, delighted. Still, he knew that the only reason she even cared was that she had never thought that Shiro would find a good man, being nothing but an omega.

The day the boys officially became a couple, Kei had asked Shiro to come over to his fancy house after school. The boys went to the same private school for the wealthier boys in Tokyo, and they even ended up in the same class.

Shiro hadn't suspected that something special would happen that day, because the boys usually spent every free second together. But when they got into Kei's room, a tidy room with few things, the taller boy was nervous about something.

"Why don't you sit on the bed?" Kei asked, his voice slightly shaking. 

Shiro frowned but did as his best friend asked. So there, Shiro sat on the bed, still wearing his school uniform, and looked at Kei with confusion. Kei was standing at the edge of the bed and seemed stiff. He acted strangely, and he kept on dragging his hand through his thick, short hair. Something Kei always did when he was nervous, and Shiro sure noticed this.

"What's up with you, Kei?" Shiro asked, starting to feel anxious.

Kei sat down on the bed beside Shiro and looked directly into the omega's eyes while he took his hands in his.

"I love you!"

Shiro smiled at his friend; he was relieved. He had thought it was something serious.

"I love you too. You're my best friend."

But Kei shook his head, and in his eyes, Shiro saw something different, a determination he had never seen in the alpha before.

"You are my best friend too. But I love you more than just as a best friend!"

"More?"

Kei closed his eyes and took several deep breaths before he looked at the boy he loved more than anything.

"I want to kiss you, Shiro. I want to marry you and bond with you. I love you so much!"

Kei stared into Shiro's eyes, and the omega shivered under the heated gaze. The words were not shocking; neither did they scare or repulse Shiro. Instead, Kei's declaration brought him such comfort and joy that Shiro burst out crying. That startled the other boy, and Kei became unsure, not knowing what to do and tried to comfort Shiro by awkwardly patting the boy's shoulder. Then the omega suddenly pulled Kei close to him and pressed his lips to the other boy. Kei froze up but soon accepted the kiss, pulling him even closer. After nibbling at each other's lips for a little while, the boys parted, and they looked at each other. They had just shared their first kiss.

"You should know by now that I love you like that as well," Shiro said with a bright smile, blushing.

Kei put his hands on Shiro's shoulders. He was trembling. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. It seemed to be too good to be true.

"You do?"

"Yes, of course! I love you so very much. You are my everything."

Kei cheered and embraced his Shiro once again. The boys were laughing and kissing. This wasn't the start of the relationship between Kei and Shiro; their relationship had started when they were born. But this was the natural development between two people that genuinely belonged together.
