Several weeks later.
The silver haired alpha was done with this.
Finished.
Through with.
At maximum overload.
Unable to handle it anymore.
Lev struggled to swallow the nerves that welled up inside of him when the prospect first crossed his mind.
Several weeks after Lev had rescued Yaku at the tournament, Lev was resolved to do this. He wasn't going to back down.
He would propose courtship to Yaku.
And then he would proceed to pray to every deity in existence that his upperclassmen would accept.
All at once, ideas of dates and watching movies together and being able to hold hands in public and sit together and have every right to act protective and scare off all the alphas and beta's he pleased came to mind along with the best of them all that Lev could ever conjure up.
The idea of being able to see Yaku and say that was his omega.
My omega.
Lev knew that phrase triggered something distinctly alpha in him, especially when Yaku's small confident side smiles and bouts of laughter and when he shouted out Lev's name during practice were echoing in his mind. He'd been asked to consider several times himself, but never by the one person he wanted more then anything. Every time someone asked him, he replied with the same answer, that he was an idiot waiting on the courage to propose to someone else. This idiocy was going to far.
As such, Lev swore that he would not waver, he promised to himself, and he was not going to let this go.
He was not going to wimp out this time.
Lev knew for a fact that if he kept this to himself, he would end up wimping out, so he elected to confide in someone he trusted more then anyone else.
"ALISA!" He shouted as he went barreling up the stairs of his families home.
"What's wrong, Lev?" Came his sisters reply as she opened the door to her bedroom. She often returned home for a few weeks at a time during her breaks in college. Now was one of her home months, and she was working part time in a nearby restaurant as a waitress. Now she was home though, and her timing for being back from college couldn't have been better for her little brother.
Lev pushed her back into the room, shut the door, sat himself down on her bed next to her, and spat it out before anything could get in his way.
After all, he knew that a second of hesitation would have him rethinking his actions. Second thoughts were the last thing he could deal with at that moment.
"I wanna propose courtship to someone!"
Alisa looked blindsided by this sudden confession, eyes flying wide open, hands going up to freeze awkwardly in the air.
After all, her entire family, save her mother, were alpha's, and wanting to propose courtship was a big deal with them.
"Ok?" She tried weakly.
"So, you proposed courtship to your boyfriend! How did you do it?"
Alisa frowned as she tapped on her chin with a manicured nail.
"I mean...I bought him a courtship gift and took him out to dinner but..."
She looked up at Lev curiously.
"Well, who is this person? An omega or a beta? Or is it another alpha...?"
She wriggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"Omega. He's an omega." Lev confirmed quickly.
Alisa nodded again, crossing her arms.
"Do I know them?"
Lev frowned.
"I...I don't really want to..."
Alisa scowled and prodded her brother in the chest.
"Well how do you want me to help you propose courtship to someone if you won't tell me who the lucky omega is?" She fired.
Lev sighed in defeat.
"Yaku-san. Yaku Morisuke. I've been crushing on him since the day we met..."
Alisa's eyes widened.
"Yaku...the short third year on your volleyball team? The one who always wears a white uniform instead of red?"
"He's a libero! He's supposed to be short! That's way he wears opposite colors!" Lev leapt to his crushes defense.
Odd considering normally Lev was the one making fun of Yaku's height.
Alisa chortled.
"Alright...well why not just go with the classic? Buy him a gift, something small and meaningful, and take him out to dinner if he accepts. If he declines, then just drop it and everything goes back to the way it was before."
Lev felt his heart soar at the sound of the word 'accept' and sink like a stone at the word 'decline'.
It was dangerous territory.
Lev nodded before he crossed his arms, pulling his feet up onto the bed to sit cross legged.
"That sounds like a good idea but...what do I get him? Yaku-san doesn't like gifts...it was hard enough to figure out what to buy him for his birthday...when I finally did get him a gift he was so flustered because he never asks for anything...he hates it when people spend money on him..."
Alisa nodded.
"I understand, I've met Yaku-san a few times, and from your stories about him he doesn't seem the type thats easy to buy stuff for. What did you buy him for his birthday?"
Lev sighed. "A new sports bag. I noticed that his old one was torn on the side and the zipper was broken so I got a new one to give him for his birthday. He uses it every day for practice. But thats a good birthday gift, for a courtship gift, it should be something really special."
Alisa agreed.
"Well...I can't really help you that much with what to buy him, but if you need help with anything else, I'm here for you!"
Lev smiled. "Thanks."
Two weeks later.
Lev had found it.
After hours mulling over options, sideways questions directed to his omega crush, internet searching, countless trips to the mall to window shop and saving up allowances he'd finally selected the perfect courtship gift.
Now all that was left to do was give it to Yaku along with its intended message. Lev had already figured out how to do it, he felt like dinner would be to awkward, especially directly after such a confession, so instead, Lev had purchased tickets to a carnival that was that weekend.
He could propose courtship to Yaku on Friday on the way home from practice. Yaku would, hopefully, accept. They would go to the carnival the next day. The entire team had gone to carnivals before, and Lev knew for a fact that Yaku greatly enjoyed them.
It was the perfect plan.
The only thing to do now was actually go through with it.
Lev was currently sitting on his bed, a few minutes prior to having to leave for school on Friday, staring down at the bright orange box tied shut with a white ribbon in a neat bow.
He opened the box for the fifth time to check to be sure the gift was actually in there, he couldn't think of anything more mortifying then Yaku actually accepting, then opening the present to find nothing but an empty box.
Of course, as Lev had already confirmed the four previous times he'd opened the box, the gift was tucked safely away within.
Lev swallowed his nerves yet again as he tucked the box safely within his sports bag before making for the door.
Alright, that's all, thanks for reading, please favorite, follow, and review!
