Why You?

Part 6

"Mate" is all I heard before I got ripped into a secure and very possessive hug. It sent sparks up my arm where skin touched.

"What the fu-! Dylan!" I said pushing away from him. "What are you doing!"

"Mate."

"Mate? why are you hugging me...No...no no no no Why U?"

He whimpered. Oh he thought I was gonna reject him.

"No I'm not gonna reject you I'm not that stupid." I said putting my head in my hands.
I looked back up at him. "Just give me some time to think okay?"

He nodded. But as I walked away he grabbed onto my arm and pulled me into another hug I realized he had a much more distinctive smell, sorta musky with a hint of peppermint.

"You have no idea how happy I am that your my mate" he said before letting me go and walking off though reluctantly. I just stood there my mouth hanging open. Happy? He was happy I was his mate?

"Careful there bud you should close your mouth before you catch flies." Jon said jokingly until he saw the expression on my face. "Connor what's wrong?"

"M-m-m"

"Come on spit it out"

"M-m-mate. Dylan's my mate."

"... WHAT" Jon yelled

"Shhhh keep it down"

"Bu-but how?" He said

"I don't know! what am I gonna do" I cry putting my head in my hands

"Reject him?"

"What?! No I would never do that!"

"So your gonna accept him?"

"I don't know... he said" I paused "he said he was happy I was his mate."
This time it was him with his moth hanging open.

"He...he...said that?"

"Mhm."

"Hey guys what's hanging?" Noah said coming from no where. "Umm are u guys all right you look like you've seen a ghost"

"I..I..I met my mate."

"Oh really well damn I guess my shot went down the drain. Who is it?"

"It's Dylan."

I'll just say his reaction was very close to Jon's.
Mostly asking what how and why with his mouth open and closing like a fish.

"Okay okay I get it it's weird. But what do I do now?"
I really don't know how to feel. What was the moon goddess thinking setting me up with my bully? Why would we even be a good match!?

"Well he is your mate whether you like it or not so your gonna have to be with him since your not gonna reject him" jon said

" I know...let's just get to class" I said waving goodbye.

As I walked to my class I didn't notice the eyes staring at me from the darkness of the end of the hallway.

When I got to class Dylan was already sitting down at our desks. I wanted to cringe but when He looked up at me I stopped in my tracks he looked so...so... happy. He gave me the biggest grin I've ever seen out of him. Then he patted the seat next to him and I let out a breathe I didn't know I was holding.

Alright you can do this. Your fine.

I went over to him and the seat next to him.

"Hi" he said breathlessly

I gave him a small smile and wave.

"You smell so good right now" he said. I blushed. Flustered I could do nothing but look away.

"Hey look at me" he said gently grabbing my chin and slowly turning my head to his. I loved the spark the shot from the place he held. No no wait He's my bully I shouldn't love him touching my chin or me in general. I pulled back.

"Just because we are mates doesn't mean I forgive you" I said before turning my head down to my work. But as I glanced away from his I saw the happiness that he had when I first got there transferred to sadness. My heart ached.

"I am so sorry for everything I have done. I know it's no excuse but the only reason I did those things were because I liked you and was possessive."

I looked up at him incredibly.

"So making everyone hate me for absolutely no reason other than you saying to stay away and having people constantly bully me including you was because you liked me!?!"

He hung his head low.

"I know. I didn't like you hanging out with people other than me. So I told people to stay away from you because I wanted you to myself. But they mistook it for hatred. I didn't mean to bully you either I just wanted your attention and you wouldn't give me the time of day so my stupid young mind thought that that was the best way to gain it"

His knuckles were clenched so tight around his pencil I thought it was gonna snap. So I lifted my arm without thinking and put it over his. He relaxed instantly. I felt the sparks spread up my arm and filled me with warmth and love.

He looked up "I am so so sorry and I get it if you can't accept it but I'm going to wait and wait until you do and then I'm gonna love you with all my heart"

I'm going to blame it on the bond but I smiled at him.

"I forgive you"
