Soyo thought hard and long about the situation she was in. Making love with Anon had become a common occurrence. Sometimes they’d do it daily… or sometimes they’d do it once a week when there would be a while where they wouldn’t see each other. One would probably say they are addicted to doing it, but it was all consensual and Soyo never really minded it. She liked being close to Anon, and she didn’t mind what it is they did as long as they were together.

However, being stuck in a public bath, with strangers, Tomori, and Taki, was not in her wishlist. She didn’t want to bear this embarrassment, and now people are looking at her.

“…I think maybe I’m gonna end her.” Soyo closed her eyes as she dipped her body neck-deep into the hot water. “One of the perks to us not being bound partners is that I can end her.”

“D- Don’t mind it, Soyo-chan…” Tomori sat close to her as they tried to avoid all the gazes. “P- Please don’t end Ano-chan.”

“That Anon…” Taki pinched the bridge of her nose as she sighed. “You two go at it like…?”

“Taki-chan, you’re the last person I expected to ask about that…” Soyo turned to her with furrowed eyebrows.

“I mean… I don’t have any experience with all that but… isn’t this a little overboard?” Taki motioned her hand towards Soyo who just sighed.

“Anon-chan’s… just a little territorial. I don’t know.” Soyo sighed as she recounted what everyone must have seen in the dressing room. A bite mark on her shoulder, a lot of kiss marks on her chest, on her back, and on her stomach. They should never talk about the ones on her thighs, and inner thighs, because she herself doesn’t want to talk about it. “Maybe I should go out.”

Taki then held her by the shoulders and made sure she was sitting. “Let’s just wait for the crowd to thin out.”

Soyo looked around and nodded.

In the other bath, Anon sneezed as she submerged her body into the warm bath.

“Whoever thought about separating a public bath with alpha and omega/beta is a stupid prick! Just go male-female like a normal person!” Anon raised a fist up in the air in anger.

Raana only looked at the water, then to Anon. “I’m going out.”

“Ahhhh, no. You’ll catch a cold if you don’t take a bath.” Anon grabbed Raana’s wrist and pulled her into the bath. “Come on. Just for a bit.”

“I don’t like warm bath water.” Raana shook her head as she tried to shake away the water that splashed on her face. “I’ll stay for 2 minutes.”

“That’s fine.” Anon nodded. “Ahhhh~ I need to protect my Soyorin from others…”

“She’s with fellow omegas and betas, she’ll be fine.” Raana nodded then stood up to go out. “I’m going out.”

“Ah! Two more minutes!”

~*
On the way from the station to a different practice studio (RiNG had double booked and they chose to go to a different one) the never ending dry season brought upon sudden strong rainfall.

Thankfully, there was a nearby public bath that had a laundry, and they all had agreed to go in. Because, “If we’re doing this band our whole lives, we need to make sure we aren’t catching a cold.” It was very unlike Tomori, but was also very like her.

It wasn’t like Anon had just spent the night over at Soyo’s, but it had only been a few days since Soyo’s heat, and probably no omega would be ready to be bare during that period.

Kiss marks and bite marks that hadn’t disappeared were probably still on her skin and a certain Chihaya Anon was very very worried.

After having their clothes dry cleaned, wearing them, and finally being able to meet in the lobby of this public hot spring… Nagasaki Soyo was just glad to be done with the public display she had to do, and hoped she’ll never have to go back to this place or neighborhood, ever again.

“Soyoriiiiiiiiiiiinnnnn~~~~” Anon beelined for the brunette, both hands stretched outward.

Soyo only sighed as she accepted the hug, and the tight arms that wrapped around her body. In all honesty, she didn’t mind, and having Anon’s scent around helped her calm down. In an environment that’s filled with foreign pheromones and scent, one would definitely be calmer around a familiar alpha. THEIR alpha.

“Soyo-chan…” Tomori smiled at the two of them.

“…Can’t believe I’m watching this PDA.” Taki huffed and turned away. “I’ll never understand all that ABO stuff. I’m glad to be normal.”

“Rikki. You say that but recently, you smell like that one alpha.” Raana walked up to Taki and nodded. “That one alpha.” She repeated.

“S- Shut it!” Taki crossed her arms in front of her and turned away with a blush.

“Heh~ So that’s what it was? I noticed but I never said anything.” Anon gave Taki a teasing grin, arms no longer in a bear hug, but still had an arm around Soyo’s shoulders.

Taki just threw her arms up in the air and sighed as she glared at Anon. “Ugh. I’ll never understand all that ABO stuff!”

“Once the rain lets up a little, I’ll call a taxi.” Soyo interrupted the conversation. “Do you three want to ride midway, maybe until the station?”

“Grandma’s picking me up.” Raana showed her phone screen’s message from her grandmother to everyone.

“What about Anon?” Taki raised an eyebrow.

“Going home with her!” Anon gave Taki a peace sign, and a fang grin.

“Why did I even bother?” Taki sighed.

“L- Let’s call one after Raana-chan’s been picked up then?” Tomori turned to Soyo who smiled and nodded at her.

After Raana’s grandmother picked her up with a car, Soyo phoned for a premium taxi. With the rain finally letting up, the ride back to Ikebukuro was as smooth as it could have been.

“You two, take care.” Soyo looked at Taki and Tomori as they stood under a sheltered area of the station.

Taki only gave a short nod.

“See you at school, Tomorin!” Anon waved.

“Take care going home, Ano-chan, Soyo-chan.” Tomori waved and the taxi left.

Soyo only sighed as the taxi stopped in traffic.

“Soyorin?” Anon blinked and turned to Soyo who leaned her head onto Anon’s shoulder.

“…I’m tired.” Soyo closed her eyes as she leaned her full weight onto Anon.

Anon gently moved Soyo’s body as she wrapped an arm around her, palm gently landing on her waist. “Sleep well, Soyorin.” She made gentle taps of her palm onto Soyo’s hips as the gentle dropping of the rain lulled Soyo to sleep.

Since middle school, Soyo had always disliked the rain. It only reminded her of sad memories. Soyo slowly opened her eyes only to find pink hair tickling her face at proximity.

She was lying down on Anon’s left arm as they slept on her bed in the Nagasaki home’s 45th floor penthouse. Soyo blinked trying to digest what had happened… until she noticed her hand tightly clutching at Anon’s shirt.

Soyo felt her body and cheeks heat up. She must have held onto Anon in her sleep, and prevented her from going home to her own house.

The rain continued to pitter patter on her windows. Soyo inhaled deeply, and Anon’s sweet flowery scent calmed her down. Maybe it wasn’t so bad to have Anon be with her at all times. Especially during rainy days.

Soyo cuddled closer towards Anon’s body. She gently picked up Anon’s right arm that was on Anon’s side and put it over her own body, to form a full hug. Soyo closed her eyes once again, and let the pitter patter of the rain lull her back to sleep.

“I hope… that these peaceful days continue…”

~*

On their next band practice, Soyo arrived at the studio a little later than usual. It was with a text beforehand so Taki wasn’t really angry.

Anon was excited to see her (as she always was). It’s been a while since the last time she stayed over at the Nagasaki home, and today was finally that day! However… she noticed that there was this certain alpha scent that was around Soyo every time lately, and it was there this time too.

Today’s scent was extremely strong. Anon was sure Raana probably noticed this, too.

“Soyorin.” Anon approached silently. Should she ask?

“What?” Soyo turned to her, bass hooked over her shoulders, but Anon didn’t say anything. “Anon-chan?”

Anon blinked. “Did something happen at school?” Soyo only raised an eyebrow. Anon suddenly snapped out of it, gave Soyo a wry smile and went back to her guitar. “Ah… It’s nothing. Don’t mind it.”

Soyo only followed her with her gaze. “What’s with her?”

“Crazy probably got to her. Rabies, I don’t know.” Taki snarked, then shrugged. “Alphas are like dogs right?”

“I heard that!” Anon turned to Taki and gritted her teeth at her. “I’m not a dog! I’m a very cute, and classy puppy!”

Soyo only sighed and prepared for practice. It was nothing unusual. Although, she would agree to the part that Anon acted a bit off. She’ll ask her about it later.

After practice, Soyo finished packing her bass and quickly went to Anon who was still managing her cable.

“Whoa. You’re quick.” Anon looked at her in surprise. “What’s up, Soyorin?”

“What’s with you?” Was what Soyo wanted to say, but for some reason she couldn’t be so up front about it. “I just remembered that I need new strings and oil for my contrabass. Would you come with me?”

Anon only blinked at her, as if frozen in time.

“If you don’t want to it’s–“

“I- I’ll go! Sorry. You inviting me somewhere, even just to a music shop, was surprising and rare.” Anon smiled at her with her usual fang smile. “Of course, I’ll go with you.”

“Okay.” Soyo raised an eyebrow then pointed at the floor. “Go finish that, then.”

“Yeah!” Anon grinned and quickly moved around.

Soyo thought about their conversation a bit. It was true that most of their dates were of Anon’s invitations, and that this may have been the first time she had asked her to go somewhere… that wasn’t either of their houses.

Anon was smiling, skipping, and humming music as they walked next to each other towards Soyo’s favorite music shop.

The two of them let go of their connected hands as they entered the shop. Anon pointed at the guitar section.

“I’ll take a look here for a bit.”

Soyo nodded at her. “Okay. I’ll come find you.”

Anon gave her a cute fang grin then walked with a skip towards the guitar aisles.

Soyo watched Anon leave and unknowingly found herself with a small smile. She blinked and immediately turned on her poker face as she headed for the wind instrument section.

Anon smiled as she looked at an array of guitar effect pedals. She remembered Soyo’s smiling face and immediately felt her heart warm. Maybe everything was going well… Maybe there was nothing for her to worry about until… this girl in a white school uniform passed behind her.

Gray eyes widened as the familiar scent of an alpha awakened something inside her. Suddenly, she felt heat well up into her body, it wasn’t the good one. It was certainly a degree of anger. She quickly traced back her steps and before she could make it towards Soyo, this alpha made its way to her first. “It’s her…!”

“Soyo-chan.” Her mellow voice spoke as she touched Soyo’s shoulder.

“Kunihara-san.” Soyo responded in her usually high-pitched voice. “I thought you went home already?”

“Already?” Anon raised an eyebrow. “Was she the reason Soyorin was a little late for practice?”

Kunihara responded with a laugh. “Thank you for accompanying me earlier. I did go home already but I realized I’ve run out of spare strings and oil so here I am.”

Soyo smiled at her. “What a coincidence. I’m here for the same.”

“If I had known, we could have gone together.” Kunihara smiled as she stepped in closer to touch her shoulders again.

“Soyo-san!” Anon suddenly grabbed Soyo’s wrist and pulled her a step backward, Kunihara’s hand missing her shoulder only slightly. “Ah, s- sorry. G- good day~” She greeted her the rich lady’s way. She needed to be polite, even though the rudeness was fighting inside her. She can’t let her touch Soyo anymore.

Soyo and Kunihara both looked at Anon in surprise.

“…And who may you be?” Kunihara turned to Anon pointedly, her eyes darting at Anon’s hand that was on Soyo’s wrist, then to her uniform that was from Haneoka. “Hm. So this is them. Seems like a smart person.”

Anon felt the intimidating stare and instinctively let go. “I’m–“

“She’s my band mate.” Soyo immediately introduced before Anon could say anything else.

Anon blinked as she turned to look at Soyo with a raised eyebrow, confusion and hurt on her expression. “Not your girlfriend?”

“Introduce yourself.” Soyo smiled at Anon.

“My name’s Chihaya Anon. I’m from the same band as Soyo-san.” Anon introduced herself with a slight smile. “It’s nice to meet you.”

Kunihara smiled at her, proudly. “Ahhh. Nice to meet you, Chihaya-san. My name’s Kunihara. What instrument do you play?”

“I play the guitar.” Anon clenched her fist as she answered through gritted teeth. There was something about this person that was starting to get to her, but for Soyo’s sake, she had to chill and play it off. It wasn’t everyday that she felt an aggressive alpha’s pheromones directed at her.

“What a coincidence, I play the guitar too.” Kunihara smiled at her, a tease on her tone. She knew fully well that her pheromones were stronger, because this smart person was letting her… perhaps because Soyo was here. “Interesting.”

Anon smiled back at her. “Nice.” This person was definitely out to get her. She definitely knew who she was to Soyo, and this person, this alpha was upstaging her on purpose.

The amount of pheromones around was enough to scare omegas, and without a doubt, whatever Kunihara was doing was starting to affect Soyo too, who had unconsciously hidden behind Anon.

“Did you two come here together?” Kunihara asked with a smirk. “I don’t think you play a classical guitar.”

“A- Chihaya-san, let’s go.” Soyo gently tapped Anon’s shoulder, then she wrapped her hands around her arm and pulled on her. “See you tomorrow, Kunihara-san.”

“Ah. Were you done with your shopping, Soyo-chan?” Kunihara lessened her pheromones, and Anon responded quickly. She tried to grab Soyo’s hand but she was quick to move away from her.

“Yes. See you.” Soyo bowed at her and turned to Anon, who was still watching Kunihara with a small scowl.

“All right, see you.” Kunihara waved at her with a bright smile. She then turned to Anon, smirked at her, then left.

Soyo half-pushed Anon out the door of the music store with one hand. The automatic doors opened, they both walked away from the store until Anon stopped and Soyo almost ran into her.

“Soyorin.” Anon quickly embraced Soyo, tightly. It must have been scary for her. If she had fought the other person on equal grounds, the two of them might have done something irreversible.

But was that a reason to lose on purpose?

Anon was thankful Soyo was letting her hug her. It was the least she could do. She let herself seem like she was losing because if she fought back, that much alpha pheromone wouldn’t be good for an unbound omega. Kunihara knew that, and yet…

“What a big jerk…” Anon closed her eyes. “However… that kind of courage might be what Soyorin needs…”

Soyo rested her cheek onto Anon’s shoulders as she could finally relax. She was about to wrap her arms around Anon’s body, but Anon had let go of her and pushed her shoulders away.

“I think I’ll go home now. See you at band practice.” Anon hooked her bag over her shoulders and walked away without saying anything.

“Anon-chan! Wait!” Soyo tried to stop her but Anon only walked faster. She dejectedly dropped her hand onto her sides as she could only watch the pink hair disappear into the crowd.

Soyo could only wish that Anon understood. Next time she should definitely explain. She clutched her bag tightly with one hand, and balled her other into a fist. She was the one who promised to take their time and date each other…

“But why are you running away…?”

Anon lay down on her bed, still in her uniform as she stared at the ceiling. Her phone had been turned off. She wasn’t really in the mood to talk to anyone, nor did she want to watch any video.

“Oh man… I am so lame…” Anon rested the back of her hand over her forehead as she closed her eyes. “…Who almost loses their cool over stuff like that?”

Imagining such a person standing next to Soyo frustrated her. The other person was taller, rich, and probably better than her at the guitar. To that, what could she fight with? All she could do well was study. Who was she to assume that the other person couldn’t study? There was nothing she could offer that the other person couldn’t.

Anon closed her eyes tightly, trying to fight the building tears that tried to escape. “They looked nice together…” She tried to erase the picture from her head. Her, standing not so far away, and the picture Soyo and the jerk painted as they stood next to each other… It gave her nothing but a sense of failure.

She removed the back of her hand over her face and replaced it with both of her palms. “…I have nothing… I’m just… a band mate…?”

~*

Soyo looked at her phone as she messaged Anon. Her messages weren’t getting read. She was at least sure that Anon won’t block her… right? Maybe she was just busy.

She looked around her house, which had gotten livelier since Anon was around often… But as one could expect, it’s still lonely when you’re alone in such a big place.

Soyo eyed the pink cardigan that was left on one of the couches. She walked towards it and hugged it in her arms. Anon’s scent had already thinned. It wasn’t just thin, it was already mostly gone. They were supposed to spend the night together but what happened?

“Stupid Anon-chan…”

The next morning…

“Soyo-chan. Good morning.” Soyo looked up from her phone, and Anon still wasn’t seeing her messages. Before she could think of something else, an oppressing and disgusting scent of pheromones walked towards her.

“Good morning.” Soyo greeted Kunihara, the special alpha, and smiled. She tried her best to keep her smile neutral, her body flinching and shaking at this alpha’s oppression. It may as well have been because she has lost the sense of security from having Anon’s alpha scent around her, or that her suppressants aren’t working well, again.

“I’m sorry about yesterday. Did I interrupt your time with Chihaya-san?” Kunihara smiled wryly as she touched Soyo’s shoulders, her fingers softly brushing over her nape. “She’s the one you were dating, weren’t you?”

Soyo felt the cold touch on her neck, and she didn’t like it. She flinched and turned her body away from her. She held both of her hands together, trying to fight back the fright that this alpha’s trying to impose on her. She wanted to feel safe already. She wanted to be surrounded in Anon’s scent, in her safety, but she’s trapped with only one way out, which she couldn’t take or else her school attendance would suffer. She hated it.

“I would rather not talk about this topic, Kunihara-san.”

Kunihara only frowned at her. “Ah, really? Too bad. She looked like she was a good girl.” But I’m better, look at how much you shiver under my power.

Soyo gave her a small smile. “She is.” She tried not to flinch at Kunihara’s oppressing pheromones and maintained her composure.

Soyo breathed a sigh of relief as the school bell rang and the students started to go inside the classroom to take their seats. She was finally free from the disgusting alpha’s presence. She then took a final glance at her phone, still no ‘read’ mark, locked it and kept it in her bag.

~*

“Chihaya! Take your seat!” The homeroom teacher ordered Anon, who had just arrived to school, twenty minutes late.

“I’m sorry…” Anon apologized meekly and took her seat with a sigh. “I forgot to turn on my phone so my alarm didn’t ring…”

Tomori eyed her as she took her seat. “Ano-chan…”

“Tomorin.” Anon smiled at her and fixed her eyeglasses.

“You’re not wearing contacts today?” Tomori asked quietly as their teacher turned back to the board.

“Y- Yeah… I was in a rush and didn’t have time to put them on.” Anon smiled wryly. “It would be too embarrassing to just say ‘I cried so much my eyes are all puffed up!’ or something…”

“I- I see…” Tomori nodded at her then focused on class.

Anon held her phone beneath her table as she stared at it… Maybe she’ll keep her peace a bit more until the end of the day. She slid it under her table as she resumed listening in class.

She opened her phone, finally, during lunch time, and was bombarded by direct messages from Taki.

Rikki
[Oi, Anon.]
[ANON. SEE MY MESSAGES.]
[No practice today. Got that? CHECK YOUR MESSAGES DAMNIT.]

Anon looked at her phone with a bitter expression, mouth curved upward and eyebrows furrowed. “You can hear her voice just by reading her text. Gueh.” She quickly sent an OK sticker. It immediately had a [seen] mark on it and no other response.

Next up…

Soyorin💗
Yesterday 16:43
[Anon-chan?]
Today 1:13
[Good night.]
Today 6:01
[Good morning.]

Anon felt her throat dry up at the dry messages. Normally this would be the time where she’d randomly send her an ‘idiot’ or ‘stupid’ but there wasn’t any of them. She tried thinking of what to message with but the lunch time bell rang and she had no choice but to tuck her phone back in her pocket.

Soyo’s eyebrows raised as her messages finally had the [seen] notification next to it. She held onto her phone tightly. “…At least I know I’m not blocked.” She felt her heart swim in a lot of uncertainty before shoving all her worries to the back of her head as her next class started.

“Soyo-chan.” Kunihara approached Soyo as the school bell rang. “Do you have some time today? Want to go somewhere?”

Soyo immediately hooked her bag over her shoulder and kept her distance away from her. “I’m sorry, I have something more important to do today. Maybe next time.” She smiled at her and immediately left the classroom. She walked quickly, far far away from that classroom as she sorted her thoughts. She didn’t even have time to digest the oppressive alpha pheromones that Kunihara had been putting out all day. She had more important things to worry about. She made a beeline for the school’s library for some peace and quiet and stood in between bookshelves.

First, she was going to apologize to Anon for introducing her as her band mate, instead of her girlfriend… Next… Then they’ll have to talk about what happened yesterday. Then, it was time to decide and say something about Kunihara, and her actions that have been getting bolder and bolder, as time passed by. She couldn’t react nor avoid anyone in her class, because nobody knew that she was an omega, even though most of her classmates were alphas, but maybe it was time to face it all. She couldn’t keep doing this to Anon if she wanted to be with her for the rest of their lives.

Anon stood outside the gates of Tsukinomori, phone in hand, and Soyo’s chat open.

“Ahhh… What do I tell her? Um… Good afternoon? What do I even say after that? After the attitude I showed to her yesterday…” Anon mumbled to herself as she rubbed her forehead with her fingers, rimmed glasses over her face.

Much like the past times she waited for Soyo outside her school, some of the school’s omega and betas kept on looking at her as this really cute and juicy alpha, until Anon recognized and heard a voice she didn’t really want to hear for the second time that day.

“Come on, I told you to lay it off with Soyo-chan. You know she’s taken.” The voice of reason, as what Anon would describe it, spoke. She seemed to be another of Soyo’s classmates.

“I’ve met the alpha she was dating. She wasn’t much. Could be a great challenge though.” Kunihara spoke with pride. “I haven’t really smelled her scent around Soyo-chan the past few weeks. Sometimes it’d be really strong, it’s so gross, but it was so easy to mark her nowadays.”

“You just said that like Soyo-chan’s an omega.”

Anon froze as she heard the next words come out of Kunihara’s mouth.

“I know she is. My special trait of knowing special alphas goes as well to identifying special omegas. She just smells soooo good.” Kunihara confidently professed. “I don’t know why she’s pretending to be a beta, but hey, I don’t need to know why if all I want is just her.”

Anon balled her hands into fists, holding back the desire to cause a ruckus by punching this prick in the face, and getting her girl. “Don’t spread people’s secrets! Stop deciding things for her, jerkface!”

“Not to mention, out of me, and her current alpha, who wouldn’t want a talented rich girl? For sure, Soyo-chan only deserved the best.”

Anon heard the footsteps and the voices getting closer and closer, so she did what she always did best.

She ran away.

~*

Without looking back or going anywhere else, Soyo marched towards the Chihaya home. She had given up on trying to contact Anon via message so it was time to confront her.

Soyo pushed the door bell on the intercom and after two rings a voice answered. What would she say and do if it was Anon?

“Chihaya here.”

“Ah, um… Mom? Is Anon home?” It was Anon’s mom.

“Soyo-chan! Welcome! Anon hasn’t come home yet. Come in. You can wait inside her room.”

“Thank you very much.”

The automatic gate unlatched and Soyo immediately went inside.

Soyo sat peacefully in the living room area of Anon’s attic room. Countless times she was so tempted to just go into Anon’s bed, open her closet, take out all of her clothes and make a big nest, but she fought back. This wasn’t the time to be cute, nor was it the time to follow her second gender’s cravings. She made sure to shoot another suppressant before coming, so she should be fine… However, the attraction was extremely strong and she wanted to just leave, and soon. Because if she didn’t she’d just stay and make a nest, and this desire only meant one thing. Her schedule’s been messed up and her heat is near.

She closed her eyes as she sat quietly on one corner of the couch, the one farthest from the bed where Anon’s pheromones were the strongest. She played with her fingers as she usually did when she was thinking of something, and the glass of tea in front of her remained untouched.

Soyo felt a sense of security, and relaxation, but she had to fight it. After enduring Kunihara’s pheromone attacks, being inside Anon’s room calmed her. However, she herself knew well enough that she can’t let it get to her as well, or else their talk wouldn’t become a talk. She tried to focus on her hands on her lap, because the more she thought about Anon, the more she lost her senses.

The door to Anon’s room slowly opened and Soyo lifted her head to finally see the pink haired object of her affections come in. Black rimmed glasses over her face, and an extremely worried expression.

“S- Soyorin…” Anon furrowed as she caught some of Kunihara’s pheromones around Soyo, again, but decided to keep her mouth shut about it.

“Where were you?” Soyo asked sharply with a deep voice. No, that’s not…

“D- Does it matter? W- Why are you here?” Anon put her bag onto the side of the table and stood opposite Soyo, who was sitting on the side of the couch.

Soyo looked up and watched Anon for a few moments. Noticing the slight eye bags, and slightly red corners of her eyes.

“…Why did you leave?” Soyo turned to look at her hands on her lap as she played with them. Normally she’d be standing up now, to face her, but her body didn’t have the energy nor the will to leave. Her body wanted to stay there, and embrace this alpha right in front of her.

Anon swallowed a lump inside her throat, as she stayed standing in front of Soyo, separated by the floor table. “…Why was I just a band mate? Even if your school doesn’t know you’re an omega, you still could have introduced me as your girlfriend.”

“I just didn’t want to be questioned about it at school.” Soyo answered quietly, not meeting Anon’s intense gaze. “I just wasn’t ready to tell someone else outside of our parents, and everyone in MyGO!!!!!”

“…I’m not even a friend? I’m just a band mate?” Anon spoke through her gritted teeth. “Are you ashamed of me? Because I’m not a rich and talented person?”

“Hah?” Soyo lifted her face and looked at Anon who only stared at her with her eyebrows furrowed. “Where did those come from?”

“Why would you just let another alpha come around and mark you? Touch you? Do you secretly enjoy being around alphas who flock around you?” Anon’s eyes widened as words she didn’t want to say came out of her mouth, in her own voice. “Do you actually like the attention of multiple alphas fighting over you?”

“…Is that what you think of me?” Soyo furrowed her eyebrows as tears immediately pooled around her eyes.

Anon wanted to quickly apologize, tell her she’s sorry, but it was too late. “Wouldn’t it be better if you had Kunihara-san bite you instead? A better and more talented alpha is more fitting for someone like you, right?”

Soyo tore her gaze away from Anon and turned to look down in her hands, a teardrop falling in her palm. “…I’m sorry if I didn’t introduce you as my lover, Anon-chan.” She quickly wiped away her own tears, as an attempt to make it seem like she was just putting her hands over her face.

Her voice shook as the words came out of her mouth. She wanted to say more, but it felt like with what she said just now would just make things worse so she bit her lower lip, and grabbed her bag.

Soyo stood up from the couch, still looking at the floor, bag in her hands. She gave Anon a bow and quickly left the room.

Anon could only watch her leave. She felt her legs give out as she sat on the floor in disbelief.

“Anon, you know Soyorin better than that…! Why would you say those things and hurt her…!?”

Anon closed her eyes as her own tears fell onto the lenses of her glasses.

“She might be better off without me…”

That’s right, Chihaya Anon. When push comes to shove, it’s the only thing you’re good at.

Running away.

~*
One week later

Anon slowly pushed the band practice door open, and three pairs of eyes turned to look at her.

“G- Good morning…? Why are you all looking at me?” Anon shut the door behind her.

“…Unexpected.” Raana spoke in short sentences.

“Huh?” Anon blinked then turned to Taki.

“Soyo said she’s on her heat that started a week ago. Of course, we wouldn’t expect you to be here.” Taki crossed her arms. “I’m not complaining since you’re someone who needs a lot of practice, but is she gonna be okay?”

Anon blinked. She quickly opened her phone and checked her calendar. “Soyorin’s heat isn’t supposed to come in maybe a week more?”

“Why do you sound so unsure?” Taki raised an eyebrow at her. “Have you even been talking to her? Now that I think about it, it was weird she told me about it in a private message, and not on the group chat. Did you do something?”

“Wh- Why me!?” Anon took a step back in defense.

Taki looked around slowly. “Who else would it be?”

Anon could only stare at her flatly. “She’s right…”

“Well?” Taki stood up from behind the drum set and walked towards her. “Did you do something?”

“T- Taki-chan…” Tomori walked towards them. “Maybe we should let Ano-chan put her things down first.”

Taki turned to Tomori with a nod. She then turned to Anon and stretched a hand forward as if urging her to go ahead.

Confused, but beckoned, Anon slowly put her guitar bag onto the guitar stand.

Raana suddenly pulled out a chair and put it in the center.

“Uhh…” Anon blinked as she watched the three pairs of eyes silently compelling her to sit on the chair. “F- Fine…”

“Now, ‘Fess up.” Taki stood in front of her, arms crossed. “If you make her quit this band, again, I’m gonna make you regret ever making this band.”

Anon closed her eyes as she shivered. “Rikki, you’re too scary. You sure you aren’t an alpha?”

“Don’t try to divert the topic now. I’m waiting.” Taki tapped her arms with her fingers impatiently.

Anon only stretched her arms in front of her, palms over her knees as she looked at her lap. “Well… it started probably a few months ago, when we started dating.”

She started it on when she started noticing the other alpha’s scent on Soyo. It wasn’t that long after they had fixed her heat schedule. At first Anon only ignored it because the amount of scent left to her was almost the same one would be able to put if they sat next to them and such.

“Recently, it’s been getting worse.” Anon grabbed the cloth of her skirt as she closed her hands into fists. “I learned to ignore it because it never got bad, but nowadays, after we haven’t seen each other in a while I’d find an alpha’s markings around her.”

It was strong. It was as if somebody embraced her, and she let them. The image of Soyo being in the arms of someone else pained and frustrated her.

“I just can’t understand why she would let them…” Anon looked up to Taki who only had a raised eyebrow.

“Has it ever occurred to you that she probably could only let them because she’s pretending to be a beta at school? Did you forget that already?” Taki sighed loudly. “Have you ever told her this?”

“W- We did, kind of… About a week ago…” Anon looked back down on her lap.

“And you haven’t talked since then?”

Anon nodded.

Taki and Tomori only looked at each other. Raana who was uncharacteristically listening also looked at them.

“Go to her.” Taki only shooed Anon with her hand and turned her back to her as she walked towards the drumset and sat on her stool.

“No way.” Anon stood up from her chair and balled her hands into fists.

“Stop running.” Taki stepped on the bass pedal and a loud booming sound echoed inside the studio.

“I’m… not running.” Anon turned to look at her with a glare.

“Then why did you go and save her? Why did you embrace and make love to her and then when things become tough, you just leave her?” Taki returned her glare. “I’m so done with you.”

Anon was taken aback by her words. “Th- That’s… I didn’t want someone else to take her at that time. I…”

“Then don’t let them!” Taki stepped on the bass pedal again and gripped her drum sticks as she stood up, staring Anon eye to eye. “Why are you acting so weak? Why don’t you fight back?”

“But what if someone else was a better fit than–“

“There’s no one else, is there!?” Taki suddenly threw her sticks towards the snare drum as it fumbled and fell to the floor. She stomped her way out of the drumset and grabbed Anon by the collar. “Don’t you get it? As an omega, Soyo would be the one to know the most what was best for her! She thinks she didn’t deserve you, but now she’s changed and chose you! You’re fated partners, aren’t you!? Now go and get your girl, damnit!” She shoved Anon back and turned her back on her. “Why am I even exerting so much effort for this? Screw it all.”

Anon took a step back as she looked at Taki, surprised. Her clothes were disheveled but it was the last of her concerns. “I’m… an idiot, aren’t I?”

“Damn right you are. Hmph.” Taki only grunted a little, still not looking at her.

Anon quickly grabbed her bag and ran out the studio. “Thank you, Rikki!”

Taki only sighed and ran a hand over her hair. “Haaah… Sorry, Tomori… That might have been scary…”

Tomori shook her head. “You were cool, Taki-chan.”

Taki blushed at the words. “Th- Thanks… Help me bring back Anon’s guitar later, please.”

“Mm.” Tomori nodded.

“Rikki, cool.” Raana strummed a few chords on her guitar. “Anon, cool.” Then another.

Taki sighed again and stared at the closed doors of the studio. “Isn’t it so easy if you’re an alpha and an omega? Unlike me… I’ll never be able to satisfy an alpha…” She stared at the floor before turning back to her drumset and picking up her sticks.

~*

Anon panted as she stood in front of the menacingly tall 45 floor condominium.

She grabbed the strap of her bag with both hands as she hesitantly rode the elevator. “Why was I being such an idiot? What got into me? I’m usually not like this. Ugh. Soyorin…”

She finally realized now that she felt like she had forgotten something important. She definitely did. The normally tsundere Soyo who says the opposite of what she meant. The same Soyo who said those magic three words to her at the height of an emotion… How could she just suddenly forget it all?

“Soyorin-mama is going to murder me…” She mumbled to herself as she pressed the button to the 45th floor and waited for her closing and impeding death.

Instead of entering in the door code she knew by heart, she pushed the door bell button, and without even an answer to the intercom, the door unlocked.

“I am doomed… Soyorin-mama please make my death quick and painless…!” Anon closed her eyes as she pushed the door open and let it shut behind her.

As she expected, there was a menacing aura in front of her.

“Soyorin-mama…” Anon lifted her head up slowly then quickly looked down. “I’m so–“

Then a pair of warm arms wrapped around her.

“It must have been tough.” Soyo’s mom’s gentle voice comforted her. “Having to adhere to Soyo pretending to be a beta, having to smell all sorts of alphas around her because of school, it must have been difficult.”

“E- Eh…?” Anon blinked as she returned the hug. “S- Soyorin-mama?”

“When I asked her where were you when her heat started…” Soyo’s mom parted from the hug and patted Anon’s head. “She said, ‘It’s all because I’m an omega that Anon-chan has to suffer for it. I don’t think she deserves someone as complicated as me, after all.’ It surprised me because all this time I thought things were going well.”

“I- It was!” Anon spoke with affirmation. “We… We’re just a crossroads. We just haven’t talked it out well… I promise I’ll make it right, Soyorin-mama.”

Soyo’s mom nodded at her. “Go to her.”

Anon nodded back at her and braved Soyo’s room.

“Don’t worry too much, I’ll be crashing at a friend’s place. So don’t worry if you’ll be too noisy.” Soyo’s mom winked at her and waved at her, bag already in hand, and front door already open.

Anon only swallowed as she felt her face heat up. “Not that, Soyorin-mama~~~~~”

The front door shut before Anon could even touch the door knob to Soyo’s room, and just like that it was just the two of them, and this door that separated her from Soyo.

“Chihaya Anon. We can do this.”

~*
As an omega, an alpha’s scent was always strong. They were always meant to order, command, and oppress omegas. Being in a school like Tsukinomori, it was full of extremely confident alphas.

Their pheromones are always strong, commanding, oppressing, which is why the only omegas who survive here were those who were already with a binding partner. An omega with a partner would be more normal. An alpha’s pheromones could still make them feel suffocated, but another alpha could never forcefully make them feel attracted to them.

At school, everyday, it would be excruciating, sometimes, even disgusting, to be exposed to some alpha’s pheromones, and after all those, her only comfort were Anon’s clothes, if not, Chihaya Anon herself.

The only alpha in her life whose pheromones comforted her, whose pheromones gave her a sense of security. It was the reason that band practice calmed her, or having something she owned always helped her relax. Not to mention, her pheromones smelled nice, compared to her classmates’.

When her heat would just end and she’s back to using suppressants to hide her scent, those were her most normal days. She would smell as if Anon was always around her, sometimes it’d ward away some of the alphas who weren’t in her class… but then the effect would wear off eventually.

The past few days were the worst. She was nearing her heat, and she couldn’t find a good source of Anon’s pheromones because they haven’t been seeing each other, nor have they been spending time with each other. Soyo hated the fact how reliant she had been on her, how life has been easier to live since then.

She hated how she still yearned for her. In the end, when she’s at her heat, all she ever wanted was an alpha.

Soyo glared at her door as it slowly creaked open after two knocks.

“…Why are you here? Go home.”

Anon closed the door behind her and locked it. “N- No way.”

Soyo who only sat in the middle of her bed, knees up on her chest, could only glare at her. She put both of her hands on her face in exasperation and hugged her legs. “Ah, geez. You always just do what you want.”

Anon only furrowed her eyebrows. “S- Sorry…”

“Why are you here?” Soyo gritted her teeth as she closed her eyes and hugged her legs tighter. Tears threatened to fall but she tried her best to fight it back. “Just… go.”

“Soyorin… I’m sorry.” Anon slowly made small strides towards her.

“Don’t come here!” Soyo lifted her head up and looked at her, tears slowly streaming down her face as she met those gray eyes she’d always wanted to see. “I hate this. This is the absolute worst.” She closed her eyes as tears continued to stream down her face. She returned to hug her legs as she rested her face on her knees.

She hated it.

She hated the relief her body felt the moment Anon entered her room, and familiar pheromones surrounded her. She hated the security and warmth her body felt after knowing that Anon was finally here. Her body felt relief that it’d finally be relieved of her heat. Her heart was in pain because she knew that there wasn’t a guarantee that she, Anon, would stay. Her mind was angry, because why did she let herself be so reliant on this person?

“Soyorin…”

“Don’t say my name.”

“…I’m sorry.” Anon looked at the floor as she stopped walking, only a few more steps near her. “Soyorin.”

“Why did you come here?” Soyo sobbed.

“Th- That’s…” Anon scratched her head. She literally came there with nothing to say. She ran as fast as she could, because she knew Soyo needed her. “I’m… sorry. For the way I acted. I’m a big dumb idiot.”

“…Do you know how hard it was? To be so far away from you.” Soyo spoke in a calm voice. “Always surrounded by all these alphas that I don’t know and don’t like.”

Anon tightened her fists. All this time all she did was think of herself. She had never really considered what Soyo goes through at school, the times when they’re apart. The times when she had to sit inside a classroom full of alphas, not knowing which one of them had already sniffed her out.

Her shoulders shook as her voice quivered. “Whenever we don’t see each other for a while… It scared me. Sitting in this classroom with more than ten alphas who may or may not know who I really was… I know it was pointless. There was nothing I could do. We’re in different schools, and we’re not bound partners. What was I to do!?”

Soyo curled up into a ball as she laid down sidewards at the center of her bed, back turned away from Anon.

“Soyorin…”

“When my heat was near, all I wanted was to be with you, but I had to act normal…” Soyo sniffed as she tried to level her voice. “Oh… Geez… Why am I even… Go away, Anon-chan. Stupid, dumb, idiot. I hate you.”

“O- Ouch… B- But! N- No way! I’m not leaving!” Anon took a step forward, then another step, then another until she was standing next to her bed. “Soyorin, I’m so sorry… I love you.”

Soyo turned her body to face Anon. “…Don’t say those words when you don’t really mean them.” Soyo opened her eyes, then closed it as more tears spilled. “Go away…”

“No! I say them because they’re real. I’m staying here, with you.” Anon placed her knee on the bed as she slowly climbed in with her. “I’m sorry. All I ever think about is myself. I’m an idiot. I…”

“…Don’t touch me.” Soyo moved away from her, arms protectively wrapped around her own body as she glared at Anon through tears. “…If you don’t have any intentions of biting me, and binding me with you. Just go away. Leave. Go far, far away!”

Anon felt her heart break as she looked at those hurt and pained blue-gray eyes that glared at her. All she ever wanted was to hug her, and make love to her, and make her feel like she’s loved.

“…I’ll do it. I have every intention of doing it. I’ll bite you. Bind you to me and never let you go.”

“…Even though you were pushing me away with the excuse that there may be someone else better for me.”

Anon only looked at her, determined. “…I’m gonna make you mine, and I won’t let anyone else ever try to touch you.”

“Liar.” Soyo closed her eyes as tears spilled down her cheeks. “You just leave, and run away. You never respond to my messages. Everyday I wonder if I’ve been blocked. You take my hand when it’s convenient for you, and let go of it when it no longer is useful. You’re all the same.”

“I’m not running away this time. I’m gonna prove to you that I’m not like everyone else. I’ll be here from now on. I’m not gonna leave or run away.” Anon gently reached for Soyo’s cheek as she wiped away a tear. “…Not anymore. Not ever.”

“…Stupid.” Soyo only glared at her before covering her face with her hands. “Idiot. Stupid, idiot, jerk, Anon-chan. I hate you.”

“Guh… That last one really hurts.” Anon furrowed her eyebrows as she gently lifted Soyo up the bed and hugged her tightly. “Soyorin…”

Soyo wrapped her arms around Anon’s shoulders as she buried her face onto her shoulders. “…I love you.” Her voice was soft and shaky.

Anon smiled as the words made its way into her ears. She felt warm, as tears welled up into her eyes. “…I’m glad.” She hugged Soyo tightly as she wrapped both her arms around her body. “…I love you, too.”

Soyo heaved a deep sigh as Anon continued to rub her back. She closed her eyes in relaxation as her sobbing stopped and she parted from the hug.

Anon only waited for her to look up to her, as she smiled at her.

“Anon-chan.” Soyo lifted her head up and stared at Anon in close proximity, their noses almost touching. Soyo gently gave Anon’s lips a peck, shocking the pink haired alpha. “…Bite me.”

Anon swallowed a lump in her throat and nodded. Soyo turned around and sat in between Anon’s legs. She parted through long brown locks as Soyo exposed her nape towards her, the lace of her silver necklace caught her gaze.

“I worried for nothing, and here she is, the one who always wore our promised necklace. Not like I stopped wearing mine either…” Anon smiled as she pressed her nose onto Soyo’s nape. “Mm… She’s on her heat, definitely…”

Warm lips touched the skin just below Soyo’s nape, right on the necklace. “Mm…” Soyo let out a small moan in surprise.

The intimate sound Anon hasn’t heard in a while made her body heat up, but before that… “…I’ll bite you now.”

“Mm.” Soyo responded with a nod, and without hesitation, sharp teeth sunk into skin as she felt a jolt of pain on her nape. “Ahm…”

Anon felt the blood draw as her teeth sunk into Soyo’s skin. The bite mark disappeared as quickly as it appeared, completing their bind. She slowly licked the blood off Soyo’s skin, thoroughly cleaning her nape as she completed the ritual.

“I’m gonna miss your normal scent.” Anon hugged Soyo from behind, pressing her nose to the side of Soyo’s neck and nuzzling her ears lightly. “It was a fruity and sweet, delicious kind of scent.”

“You liked sweets after all. Of course you’d like something like that.” Soyo responded as she pressed all of her weight onto Anon.

“…but you’re the sweetest of them all.”

“…Two out of ten.”

“Bleagh.” Anon pouted as Soyo turned to look at her. “Mm?”

“Anon-chan.”

“Yes, Soyorin?”

“…Thank you for coming back to me.”

Anon smiled at her, that cute fang smile. “Thank you for taking me back. I’m an idiot alpha, but I’m your idiot alpha.”

“Yes, yes. Idiot alpha.” Soyo gave her a small smile. “So…”

“So…?”

“…My body’s really warm so… do something.” Soyo narrowed her eyes as she waited. “My idiot alpha.”

Anon blinked as she swallowed. Maybe in heat, bound omega Soyorin is actually… very dangerous…?

They kissed sweetly, and the long days of an omega in heat began.

~*

It was odd. The body pains were still there, but the want to be with her was stronger than the muscle strain.

“It must be early morning…” Soyo followed the sunlight as it shone on her room’s floor. She turned to her side and watched Anon’s chest move up and down as she slept.

She pushed her body up, smiling a little upon seeing that she had been using Anon’s arm as a pillow. She then snuggled closer to Anon’s arm and lay back down.

A thin cool blanket covered their naked bodies. Soyo looked around, and she was amazed as usual, Anon did clean up before climbing back up into bed with her.

Soyo usually didn’t like it, when she would wake up in the morning after a night of her heat. Her body would feel heavy and tired, but this time it was different. Maybe it was the effect of finally becoming bound partners.

Yes, she felt tired. Yes, she felt her body was heavy, but there was one more thing that she felt.

Need.

She wanted more.

“Why are you still asleep? Stupid Anon-chan.” Soyo glared at her before moving her arm over Anon’s body into a hug. If anything, she wanted to be closer to her.

“Anon-chan.” She called for her, but no response. “Stupid Anon-chan. Wake up.”

Soyo could only leer her eyes at her.

“If you wake up, I’m gonna kiss you.”

She felt her body heat up in embarrassment as the words left her mouth, but it was a clear sign that her stupid alpha was still asleep. Soyo watched Anon’s stupid sleeping face, eyes leering, mouth in a pout of frustration.

After a while, an idea hit her.

“Anon-chan~” Soyo whispered into Anon’s ears, followed by a light blow. No response from Anon, however… moving her gaze down, she saw something move under the blankets.

Soyo blew hot air into Anon’s ear once again, and saw the subject of her interests move again.

“So you still feel it even if you’re asleep…”

“Ah…”

“…non-chan.”

Anon kept her eyes closed as she felt her body heat up, and a tickle in her ear. “I feel like I’m having some really sexy Soyorin dreams…”

“…on-chan.”

“If I keep sleeping, is it gonna continue…?”

“…Anon-chan… Wake… prank… you.”

“…Maybe I should continue sleeping…? For erotic sexy Soyorin… Erorin…”

At first all Anon did was ignore her surroundings in hopes of continuing or remembering whatever dream she was having until she felt… something wet. And slippery. Down there. Over there. Wet and slippery…

Anon immediately opened her eyes and looked. “S- Soyorin!? Gwah!” She immediately closed her eyes as she felt Soyo’s weight on her crotch. All her senses went haywire as she finally caught up to the fact that her very erect member just went inside Soyo, who sat on her, without a condom.

“Anon-chan. You’re finally awake.” Soyo glared at Anon who only slowly opened her eyes. “You were responding really well despite being asleep. It was extremely amusing.”

Soyo moved her crotch, right where the two of them were connected a little as a sloshing sound came from it.

“Oh crapcrapcrapcrap.” Anon wasn’t sure how long she had been holding breath as she marveled at the view before her. “S- Soyorin… Could it be that… you didn’t put… protection…?”

“Nope.” Soyo only answered flatly as she raised her hips and pushed it back in. “Mmah…”

“Ah!” Anon responded to the thrust as she placed both her hands on Soyo’s waist in panic. She has to pull out because she’s very very very near. “S- Soyorin? Let me just… pull out…”

“No.” Soyo only responded curtly as she rolled her hips a little, and Anon responded in kind by accidentally thrusting inside her. “Mm…!”

Anon swallowed as she watched Soyo sit on her, fully naked. Those soft breasts bouncing on each thrust, her brown hair sticking to the curves of her face as she moved. Her face flushed red, her small mouth open as she moaned and panted on each thrust.

“Erorin…” Anon let her intrusive thoughts win as she covered her mouth with a hand, almost letting herself come just at those words. “Ah… Crap. Soyorin, I really really…” She closed her eyes as she panted quickly, focusing on trying not to ‘release’.

“Often… I hate it that when we do it, you always stay composed.” Soyo stopped moving and went back to glaring at Anon. “Today, I woke up and I wanted you, but you wouldn’t wake up. Now that you’re awake, and it’s still the same…” She leered her eyes at Anon. “Saying stupid stuff. Hmph.”

“Nonononono. Hah… Hah… Soyorin… I’m…” Anon closed her eyes as she focused. “Don’t release, don’t come… Don’t…”

Soyo then leaned forward toward her, pushing both of Anon’s shoulders with both her hands. Her hips slightly lifting, pulling out halfway, Soyo closed in on Anon, their noses touching as their lips brushed with each other. “What are you holding back for?”

“S- Soyorin…?” Anon panted out as she tried to relax a bit. “What do you mean? I… You… We… need, protection…?”

Bluish gray eyes only stared into gray ones. Hunger and need in those clear orbs… “Why do you think I started drinking birth control for? Stupid, Anon-chan.”

Then Soyo lifted up her hips, almost making Anon pull out fully before she started pushing in quickly, starting a good thrusting pace.

Anon inhaled sharply as the build up started again. “Ohhhhno. S- S- Soyorin! Wait! Hah!” She tried to stop Soyo once again, but she felt all her energy give out the moment Soyo closed in her lips into her ear and blew soft hot air inside it. She felt electric on her body and she was on edge. Veeeery very close.

“…Anon-chan.” Anon could never imagine in this lifetime that the love of her life would ever say her name so sexily she’s so glad her name was Anon.

The expensive bed rocked with each movement, the sloshing sounds echoing with some panting, and skin touching skin on each push.

“Ahhhhh… Waitwaitwait. Soyorin… Soyo…rin! Gwah!” Anon closed her eyes as she desperately tried not to just explode at the combined sensations. Soyo’s warmth enveloped her bare member, for the first time. Each slide, each thrust, was so good she could just let loose right there.

Anon placed her hands onto Soyo’s waist, trying to desperately stop her attacks, but her hips moved together with her rhythm.

“Gah, stupid body! Stop responding…!” Anon felt Soyo’s teeth bite on her shoulder as her shaft was being squished into her warm insides. Soyo tightened her hold onto her throbbing member, and increased pumping her pace.

“Ah… Hah! Soyorin…! Wait!” Anon met Soyo’s pushes and before she could gather her bearings her hips shook as she came… a lot. “Ah… Hah…!”

Soyo panted onto Anon’s neck as she stopped moving, having reached her climax the same time as Anon did. Her body reached its limit as she let her whole weight rest on Anon’s body. She could feel Anon’s hard shaft throbbing as it pumped inside her. It was so much she could feel the liquid drip down her thighs, and onto Anon’s crotch and thighs.

“Waaaahhhh… This is so…” Anon covered her face with her hands, one hand around Soyo’s body. It’s been a minute or two, and she was still coming. “…I don’t think it’ll stop yet…”

Soyo moved her hips a little, a sloshing sound, and Anon’s member throbbed a bit more for a few more pumps.

“Ahhh… Soyorin… Please don’t move.” Anon swallowed, her eyes tightly closed as she concentrated and tried… to stop.

“…You come too much.” Soyo lifted her body up a little, balancing her body on her hands as she swiftly pulled Anon out from inside of her.

There was far too much…

“But you’re still hard and good to go.” Soyo sat on Anon’s thighs as they looked at the aftermath.

“I am so sorry.” Anon opened her eyes then looked at Soyo. “You think birth control could fight back against this much?”

“Idiot.” Soyo spat out the words as if Anon was forgetting something important. “If it makes you feel better, I can drink an emergency one later.”

Anon blinked as she digested Soyo’s words. “You mean I can go again? No protection?”

Soyo could only sigh. “…Why don’t you just go for it then? Kyaa!”

Anon immediately got up and pushed Soyo down the bed. “Don’t say you didn’t say it…”

Soyo only blushed and looked at her with a pout. “Be gentle.”

“What you did to me just now was far from gentle though…” Anon stuck her tongue out at Soyo before capturing her lips into a kiss, and positioning her still hard member onto her entrance. “Don’t blame this one on my rut…”

A lot of rounds, and one shower and a new bed sheet later, lightly clothed and back in bed, Soyo and Anon embraced each other as they rested.

“Anon-chan.”

“Hm?” Anon hummed as turned to her side, Soyo lying down on her arms as they stuck together in bed.

“Are you on the big side?” Soyo faced her and asked with a flat expression. Her heat has mostly calmed down for the day, and they probably have a good time to rest until evening.

Anon digested the question, word per word. “…Big like you mean… down there?”

Soyo nodded.

“…I didn’t expect you to ask something like this, Soyorin.” Anon smiled at her, the fang one, with a teasing grin.

“You can forget about it then.” Soyo turned around with her back now facing Anon.

“Ahhh~ Don’t sulk, please.” Anon curled her arm that was being used as a pillow and hugged Soyo into a spoon, her whole front pressed onto Soyo’s back. “I honestly don’t know. I’d like to think I am of average size? I’ve never seen others’ so I don’t know.”

“Hm. Is that so?” Soyo dropped the topic and stayed silent for a while. “Anon-chan.”

“Hm?” Anon blinked. Deja vu.

“How do you deal with morning wood?”

The next question caught her completely off guard as she choked on her own saliva with a cough. “Ehem. Uh… Um…”

“Do you touch yourself often?”

“Uhhhhhh…. Umm…” Anon watched Soyo turn around and face her again with a flat expression. Her body was heating up as Soyo’s heat pheromones started once again. “Soyorin…?”

“Answer.” Soyo slowly climbed on Anon’s stomach as she sat on it.

“Y- Yes…?” Anon swallowed as she felt her erection through her borrowed shorts.

“I see. As I expected, you’re plenty perverted after all.” Soyo only glared at her as she felt the hard shaft on her butt. “Anon-chan, you perv.”

“Uhhhhh.” Anon only blinked her eyes confused, and speechless. “E- Erorin…”

Perhaps, maybe, just maybe… Bound omega, Soyorin in heat is actually very dangerous…?

After some insanely wild love making, the next morning… With a shower, new bed sheets, and new clothes…

Anon inhaled as she spooned Soyo, her nose touching Soyo’s nape as she checked.

“Mm. No more heat.” Anon wrapped her arms around Soyo’s stomach as she hugged her tightly. “I’ve heard that an omega’s heat becomes shorter when they have a bound alpha, but I didn’t know it was true.”

“Mm. Me too.” Soyo answered as she turned around in Anon’s arms and faced her. “Don’t bring it up.”

“Ehh~ I wasn’t gonna say anything.” Anon raised an eyebrow as she pouted at Soyo. “I mean… It was pretty wild… Who would have thought?”

“Anon-chan.” Soyo glared at Anon who only sighed.

“That Erorin would like wild s–mmmphh.” Anon glared at Soyo who had covered her mouth with her palm.

“Stop it with that nickname. It doesn’t even have any of my name anymore.” Soyo furrowed her eyebrows.

Anon gently pried Soyo’s palm from her mouth and kissed it as she held it in her hand. “It has an ‘o’ in it!”

“Are you stupid?” Soyo could only sigh in exasperation. “Ah, it was not a question. You ARE stupid.”

“Never have I thought that I’d see you put my whole length in your mo–mmmprhh.” Anon found a whole hand on her whole face, followed by another as her head was pushed down the pillows.

“I barely even remember anything.” Soyo grabbed one pillow and put it over Anon’s face without pushing on it. “Hmph.” She turned away from Anon, arms crossed in front of her.

“Bwah!” Anon removed the pillow over her face and laughed. “Your reactions totally say you remember it though!”

“Not to mention, I haven’t entirely forgiven you yet.” Soyo turned around once again, arms crossed as she glared at Anon. “Running away from me just before my heat begins, making me endure my heat for a week. Telling me stupid stuff like, liking it when alphas fight over me.”

Anon’s smile turned into a frown as Soyo continued.

“Leaving me when I’m the most vulnerable, not seeing nor responding to my messages. Such stupidity. What a great big idiot. So dumb.” Soyo scoffed as she finished her tirade.

“Soyorin… No, Soyo-san.” Anon gently untangled her crossed arms, and held both of Soyo’s hands into her own as they laid down side by side on her bed. “I am really, very, sorry. I’m here for the long run. I will never let go of these hands. Please believe me?”

Soyo continued glaring at her without saying anything as she tried not to let the tears build up in her eyes.

Anon moved forward and kissed her on the forehead, on the tip of her nose, then finally a soft peck on her lips.

“Please forgive me? Please believe me?” Anon only stared at her, like a lost puppy begging for forgiveness.

“…Make it up to me through actions.” Soyo turned away as she blushed and held onto Anon’s hands tighter. “…Then I’ll believe you.”

Anon smiled as she held onto Soyo’s hands tightly. “Mm! I’ll do my best!” She slowly leaned forward and nudged Soyo’s cheek with her nose.

Soyo turned to face her as they shared a sweet and long kiss.

“But really though… If your heats are going to feature Erorin from now on, I don’t think my heart and body can take it…”

“You sure do have a way with ruining moods, don’t you?”

“I mean! You, wanting to do things without protection was sexy!”

“My heat only ended early because of that.” Soyo pushed Anon away as she stared at her flatly. “You know? An alpha’s fluids makes an omega’s heat calm down faster.”

“I mean, I know but, we could have achieved all that in other ways too…” Anon put a finger on her chin as she thought of something. “Like swallowing all my c—“

“Never mind. You really are just nothing but a big pervert.” Soyo sighed as she turned her back to Anon. “Why did I expect something more from a pervert?”

“But you love me.”

“……”

“Soyorin loooove.”

“Stupid, Idiot Alpha.”

(With Love, Affections, and You/END)

After an extremely eventful first year of high school, their second years began at an interesting point. Soyo was expected to be on her heat, so she had already been staying over at the Chihaya home (per her request), but since her heat hadn’t really started yet, she sent Anon to school, since it was the entrance ceremony.

Since becoming partners, Soyo had slowly eased into letting people know she’s an omega, and thanks to their bond, Kunihara has finally laid it off. Their parents offered to let them live together, but Soyo and Anon said that they’d find a place together once they were university students, which was approved by their parents.

The band continued as promised, and it was all thanks to that, that there were so many first years interested in joining the Constellation Club.

“Chihaya-senpai!”

The voices of multiple girls crowded in front of their desk as Anon felt her arms touched, her shoulders hugged, and all of her thoroughly rubbed and ragged. There were a multitude of voices around her, and she couldn’t understand a single thing.

“Ano-chan, you’re amazing.” Tomori walked towards Anon after as a whirlwind of girls passed by her.

Anon blinked as she swayed left and right after being sandwiched by so many girls. “Guh… I think I’m gonna pass out.” She held her head for a while as she rested. “I didn’t even understand a single thing they said, also where is my necktie?”

“Ah…” Tomori looked at Anon, and she definitely had that necktie earlier.

Anon raised an eyebrow as she scratched her head. “Have you ever heard of a senpai who had their necktie stolen during the entrance ceremony?”

Tomori only laughed at her. “Ano-chan, you’re amazing.”

“Who would have thought I’d be this popular after one year? Tomorin, you think I’m actually popular now?”

“I- I don’t think Soyo-chan’s gonna like that though…”


“Soyorin’s prooobably gonna kill me.” Anon only sighed as she looked at Tomori. “Heyhey, Tomorin, if I ask the broadcasting committee to ask for my necktie to be returned to the lost and found, you think they’ll return it?”

“W- We could try!”

“I’m home!” Anon entered the front door of their house and her mother immediately greeted her.

“Welcome back, Anon. How was school?” Anon’s Mom smiled at her. “Ah~ah~ It might be best if you remove your blazer before you go up. Also that necktie.”

“Eh? Why?” Anon checked her uniform, and her necktie that was finally returned via the lost and found. “Do I smell bad?”

“Why don’t you find out yourself then?” Anon’s mom laughed as she patted her head. “Try to come back down later and bring Soyo-chan some food, all right?”

“Okaaaaay.” Anon climbed up the stairs to her room and was surprised at her opened closet, and all the clothes scattered around the floor.

“Soyoriiiin~ My love~” Anon closed the door behind her and locked it. “Hm? Where is she?” She put down her bag near the floor table and walked towards her bed.

On it was a mountain of clothes sorted by length and color. There was another beautiful set around the bed itself that was neatly connected by the buttons.

“Eh? Whoa! That’s huge… Wait… Is this a nest?” Anon looked at her bed, a hand over her mouth in surprise. “Soyorin, you made a nest? Wait. Soyorin, where are you?”

Anon walked around her bed until a hand popped out of the mountain of clothes and pulled at the collar of her uniform.

“WAH!” Anon suddenly found her back onto the bed, and a familiar weight sitting on her stomach. “Soyorin~”

“Anon-chan. You stink.” Soyo glared at her and immediately unbuttoned Anon’s blazer, she removed it so swiftly and flung it out of the nest. “This, too. How dare you?” She pulled at Anon’s necktie and flung it away as well.

“Uhh… Ha. Ha. N- Nice view?” Anon could only smile wryly at Soyo as she looked at the beautifully naked brunette sitting on her stomach. The silver necklace with a ring dangled around her neck. “Wait, ‘how dare I?’ what do you mean?”

“How dare you come over here and smell like a lot of different omegas?” Soyo glared at her and unbuttoned the first few top buttons of Anon’s uniform until the silver necklace with a ring around Anon’s neck came into view. “You knew I’d be here waiting for you, and yet…”

“Ahh…” That’s what it was? Mom, tell me these thing! Anon sat up on the bed, the mountain of clothes crumbling to the sides as she cradled Soyo on her lap. “I’m not sure what happened but school was really booming? And there were so many students–“

Anon looked at Soyo’s expression and immediately noticed the scowl.

“Ahhh~ Don’t be angry. You’re the only one in my heart! Not to mention, you made such a pretty nest!” Anon smiled at her, her usual cute fang smile. “I didn’t notice all the scents, I just wanted to come home to you.”

Soyo only glared at Anon, but her arms wrapped around her shoulders, despite the sour expression and mood.

“Mm…” Soyo only glare-pouted at her.

“Oh, right.” Anon gently touched Soyo’s neck as she softly leaned in for a kiss. “Soyorin, I’m home.”

Soyo closed her eyes as she accepted the kiss. “Mm. Welcome home.”

“I love the huge nest and all, but why are you naked, though?” Anon looked at Soyo’s body. “Not that I mind.”

“You sure like to ask that question a lot. Why wear it if it’ll be removed later? Also, I’m not done yet.” Soyo continued unbuttoning Anon’s uniform. “I’ll need these clothes too. Go shower or something.”

“Eh… You don’t want to just mark me instead?” Anon teased as she let Soyo untuck her white shirt, and soon it was out of her arms and onto a pile of light colored shirts.

“No. You stink.” Soyo only glared at Anon. “Now, strip. Everything. Necklace can stay.”

“Fiiiine.” Anon only sighed as she gently put Soyo to the side and stood up to remove her skirt, and everything else. “I’ll take a shower then.”

“Mm.” Soyo cradled her clothes in her arms as Anon got up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

“When I’m done will you invite me inside the nest?” Anon smiled as Soyo only looked at her.

“If I feel like it.” Soyo answered nonchalantly.

“Ehhh~ Soyorin~”

Soyo only giggled at her. “Why don’t you go take your shower and find out.”

Anon stared at her laughing expression and immediately felt herself blush. “I- I’ll be quick!”

Later on, the amount of love making they did, before Soyo’s heat, inside her nest, is probably a story for another day.
