19 Days - One Shots

A Night To Remember - Part Two

The smell of stew and pheromones filled He Tian's apartment as He Tian rested against his breakfast bar watching Mo Guan Shan stand at his cooker. The two had said nothing since entering the apartment, except Guan Shan's 'wow' of admiration of the place. Guan Shan had been too focused on how he would announce his surprise, and He Tian on how he would get Guan Shan into his bed tonight. The ginger's pheromones were driving him crazy.

When they sat down to eat, He Tian was finding it hard to keep his eyes off of Guan Shan. He watched his slender fingers grip the spoon as he dipped it into his bowl, his arms flex every time he lifted the spoon to his lips, his Adam's apple bob up and down when he swallowed. He Tian swallowed when the other's tongue darted out to lick his lips. He tore his gaze away but it instantly lifted back to the other.

Guan Shan clenched his jaw and dropped his spoon into his bowl. "If you don't get your shitty pheromones under control, I'll throw you out of your window." He glared, his cheeks tinted red.

He Tian took a deep breath to try and control himself. "I can't help myself, Little Mo. When your pheromones are flying all over the place, it's my natural instinct to release my own. Yours are just so, delectable. I can't help myself."

Guan Shan flushed red and stood up, walking to the floor-to-ceiling windows. "Shit," he muttered. "I can't help it, I'm new to all of this. I don't know what I'm doing and it's all your fault you fucker."

He Tian stood and followed him. "What do you mean 'new'?"

Guan Shan turned to glare at him, tears shining in his eyes. "I was a beta before I met you, Chicken Dick. Your shitty pheromones changed that and now I'm an omega and I can't control my fucking pheromones and now people look at me weird."

He Tian's eyes were wide. "Shit, Don't Close Mountain. I didn't know." He stepped forward and Guan Shan turned to face the outside world again. He Tian stood right behind him and placed a hand on his hip and slid his other hand down Guan Shan's arm until he was gently gripping his wrist. "I can help you to control it."

"How?" Guan Shan whispered.

He Tian rested his mouth and nose against the side of Guan Shan's head and breathed in. "Think of your pheromones as another emotion. With anger, sadness, happiness, lust, you can control them as naturally as breathing most of the time. Pheromones are exactly the same. Just take a deep breath in," with that, they both breathed in together. "and breath out." They repeated this until He Tian could only smell the left over stew.

Guan Shan visibly relaxed and closed his eyes as He Tian moved his head from Guan Shan's temple down his jaw line and to his neck. "Sooner or later, you'll be able to control them to the point where you can release a little," Guan Shan flinched when he felt He Tian's pheromones wrap around him like a blanket. "or as much as you want." Suddenly smothered by the pheromones, Guan Shan's legs gave out only to be caught by He Tian.

He Tian chuckled and helped the poor boy up, moving him over to the couch. Guan Shan glared at him as he settled into the sofa. "You fucker, control yourself."

"My bad. But you looked so cute, I couldn't help myself." He Tian laughed as he avoided the cushion Guan Shan threw his way. "Anyway, now that dinner is out of the way, you want a beer?" Guan Shan flinched and he suddenly paled, as if remembering something. "What? Don't give me that look. Are you a goody two-shoes now? Just because we're underage doesn't mean we can't drink. We drank at that party last month." He Tian winked at him.

Guan Shan shook his head. "That's not it, fuck face." Guan Shan stared at the floor. "I need to tell you something, I feel like you should sit down."

A growing sense of uncertainty grew within He Tian and he watched the suddenly nervous boy sat before him. After a moment of hesitation, He Tian sat down on the couch next to him. "What is it?" He Tian eyed the fidgeting boy beside him.

Guan Shan took a deep breath before closing his eyes. A deep frown creasing his forehead. "I'm... I'm uh, I'm pregnant."

Silence ran throughout the apartment and Guan Shan was afraid to look at He Tian's face. When he finally plucked up the courage, Guan Shan's face burst into flames at the look of wonder on He Tian's face. He Tian's eyes travelled from Guan Shan's face to his stomach and back again multiple times. Suddenly he reached forward and pulled Guan Shan into a deep kiss.

When they pulled apart, He Tian rested their foreheads together. "Does this mean I can finally make you mine? Can I mark you?"

Guan Shan's heart was about to burst out of his chest as he pushed He Tian away. "You need to calm your shit, lover boy. This is new and scary and technically you're still a stranger and I haven't even told Ma and you need to tell your family and what if no one accepts this and-"

He Tian cut the rambling boy off. "Shh, it's gonna be okay just don't panic. No matter what the future brings, we'll be okay. And we now have all the time in the world to get to know each other. I'll take care of you. Both of you."

Guan Shan's eyes watered as he relaxed once again. "Thank you." He whispered.

He Tian kissed Guan Shan's forehead and placed his hand on his stomach. "I've got you. Now and forever."
