Fated to be Together // KAOEARTH OMEGAVERSE AU

He's reaching out his right hand to grip a much smaller hand than his. He stopped running to turn the body in front of him around to face him. The one in front of him doesn't seem to run out of breath like him, even though they both have just run.

The one in front of him, looking at him with a confused look, "Why are you running after me now?" they said.

He stays silent.

They asked him again, "Weren't you happy with her and don't need us anymore?"

At the word 'us', he looked at the child that suddenly materialized in the arms of the one in front of him. A 2-year-old child, but he can't recognize the gender and he can't tell the secondary gender on the scent because he can't smell anything.

"I promised to stay out of your life, this slut won't bother you anymore. This child will have to live only knowing one parent too," the one in front of him said.

Just now, he, Kao, could see Earth face so clearly in this white infinite room. Looking in pain and sadness, while holding a child, their child. Tears start to fall from his eyes.

A small hand reaches out to wipe the tears that fall on Kao's cheek, "Uncle, why, cry?" the child asked with a pained expression as if he could feel Kao's sadness.

Kao's free left hand was about to grip the small hand, before Earth and their child forms started to fade and completely gone. He looked around, looking for both of his sources of happiness, both of the people he should cherish, and both of the people he needs to apologize for.

Suddenly, Earth and their child's form materialized not far in front of him. Their back facing him, then another tall figure started to materialize beside them. The tall figure reaches out to hold Earth's free hand and brings it to his lips. The tall figure looked back and saw Kao standing there frozen.

"Earth...?" Kao tries to talk.

The tall figure then gives Kao a disapproving look and a smirk, "He's mine now."

Kao woke up with a start, he immediately sat up from his lying position and massaged his spinning temple. He was gasping for air as if he was just doing some marathon.

He can't erase the pained expression on his omega's face in the dream. He can't make out their child's face and gender, but he doesn't care. And the man beside his mate...

"I miss you so much, Earth, and I'm sorry..."

He said to the empty bedroom that usually would be occupied by him and his mate. The room that had become a witness where they met for the first time, the room that had watched him said that he had fallen in love for the first time in his life, the room that should have been where Earth was at this hour.

"I've fallen in love with you."

"I love you and you love me, that's enough for us."

"I'm your alpha, I could feel your discomfort and insecurity even if you didn't tell me."

"I'll be here for you, I'll bring you happiness."

All the words he had spoken to his mate seemed like a lie and just sweet words now. He can't believe that he had forgotten all the promise he had made to his omega. He can't even bring happiness for Earth, he had brought sadness for his fiance.

Remembering his fiance, he gripped the ring he had hung as a necklace. The ring that was supposed to be worn by Earth, the one that the omega left on top of his letter.
