Omega Role

Koyuki didn't really expect Ryusuke to bring him to the bowling alley next. But now that he thought about it, when it came to this date, he couldn't even imagine what to expect. The young Omega never really saw Ryusuke get into anything that wasn't related to music, which may explain his awkward handling on the bowling ball. He recalled a similar instance, when he saw Ryusuke awkwardly handling a baseball bat.

"Uh, Ryusuke," Koyuki tried not to smile as it may come out like he was making fun of him.

Ryusuke looked up at him, feeling a little annoyed that he either gets a gutter ball or only a few pins down. "What?"

Koyuki couldn't help chuckling, knowing Ryusuke has always been easily frustrated. It didn't bother him as much as before. "Here," he guided the older boy's fingers. "You got to find a grip you're comfortable with. Um, try how I do it. You put your thumb, pointer, and index fingers inside the holes. Not the pointer, index, and ring finger. The ring finger is kinda the weakest, but the thumb supports the ball better. You use the other hand to help support the ball, and try lining up your shot with the arrows before releasing, it's not about how hard you throw it. Just the right force and timing." Ryusuke gave it a try and he got his first strike. Koyuki clapped at that. "See, you did it! You'll catch up to my score in no time."

"I can't help but feel like you're patronizing me," Ryusuke deadpanned, but he smiled eventually. "I was always so caught up in music, I guess I never really tried other things in general. I mean, I know how bowling looks like but I never really tried it. Obviously, I'm not the most patient person in the world and when it comes to music, that's the time I try to muster up more patience."

"Uhhh..."

"Yeah, I know it's not much. I think it's better to say I have more tolerance for it," Ryusuke chuckled. "So other stuff can barely keep me entertained for long. That's why I didn't get into college to go into business, like my dad wanted to."

"Your dad wanted you to get into business?"

Ryusuke stretched, returning to his seat. "Well yeah, saying I'm the Eldest and gotta take over the family business and shit. But I'm not one for Niceties that comes with the job description. Too much of a hot-head." he sighed. "So I lived with my grandma instead just so he would stop bugging me about having to follow him since I live under his roof and all. I'm just glad my grandma was more supportive about it, but I think she was little too happy when I told her I'd be moving out. I mean, I know I can be a bit too much to handle, but..."

"Yeah, you are." Koyuki smirked when Ryusuke looked at him in annoyance. "What? I'm agreeing with you. I thought you didn't like it when someone argues with you."

Ryusuke smirked at that, "Heh, when did you get cheeky?" he shook his head. "But true. I wouldn't have put up with Chiba's shit for this long if it wasn't for the sake of the band. So, I only tolerate the irritation when it comes to music because I actually love it. For me, other things can't hold my attention for too long."

Koyuki shrugged, taking up his turn. He lined up his shot and released, getting his tenth strike.

"As for you, you can pretty much do anything you put your mind into," Ryusuke mused. "Bowling, Swimming... Music, you're great, Koyuki."

The younger boy laughed bashfully. "Heh, but I don't have the patience to do just one thing repeatedly, so it makes me average, at best, since I don't have the focus you do. Izumi-chan taught me how to bowl, she got me into swimming, and she pushed me to be passionate about music. Looking back, I think I tried all those things to impress her."

"Izumi-chan...? Oh, that girl from before?" Ryusuke felt a little jealous all of the sudden. "I haven't talked to her in a while."

Koyuki sat back down, "Yeah, neither have I. So I don't really go bowling or swimming so much anymore."

"How about music?"

"Eh?"

"Why do you keep up with music?" Ryusuke clarified. "Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you did. But if it's not about impressing her..."

Koyuki didn't hesitate to answer. "It's because of you."

"What?" Ryusuke widened his eyes, and he felt himself blush.

Koyuki got a little embarrassed now too. "Well, I was fourteen and I didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life. It was dull, I was going through the motions..." he rubbed the back of his head. "Then I watched your first live show, and I saw how passionate you were about music... Sure, Izumi-chan and even Maho got me motivated to improve and all, I figured that's why Izumi-chan made me try swimming to help with my vocals, but I think... I know you're the one that kept me going. I felt like I'd disappoint you if I suddenly stopped, and somehow... I didn't like that."

"Even... After how I treated you when I thought you broke my guitar?"

"Eh? No, I really did!"

"Well, yeah, but it was the knock-off version of the real thing." Ryusuke sighed, chagrined. "If I'd known you didn't break the actual thing I wouldn't have made a big deal about it and risked ruining our friendship... No," he frowned deeply. "Even if it had been the real thing, I shouldn't have treated you so badly."

"No, it's okay... Er, well, no I guess it wasn't, but I understood. The guitar had sentimental value right? It was important."

"Yeah, I guess, but right now." Ryusuke suddenly reached out to hold Koyuki's hand. "You're more important. Even more so than Prudence."

Koyuki widened his eyes at the comparison, finding it very hard to think realistically that this was just a friendly date. Not only hard, but it was painful.

"Oh," Ryusuke checked his watch. "It's almost time. We gotta go." he stood up and started pulling Koyuki after him.

The Omega blinked, checking his own phone for the time. "Eh? But we still have half an hour left." he pointed out. "Besides, it's not like we have anywhere else to be."

Ryusuke just grinned secretly.

Koyuki widened his eyes at the people gathered at Hanamaru park. He had no idea that there would be a late night concert. When they were nearing the entrance to the area, Ryusuke handed him his ticket. He got a good look at it before handing it to the reception table.

Koyuki gasped, turning around towards Ryusuke. "Chiemi Kuniyoshi?! Are you serious?!"

"Yeah, Yoshito's one of the acts opening for her and he spared me two tickets." Ryusuke shrugged. "He also got me V.I.P meet and greet cards. I think he's trying to get my blessing too much, as an alternative from dad who wouldn-"

Koyuki suddenly got into his face and grabbed Ryusuke's hands. "For real?! I get to meet Chiemi later?!"

"Woah, Koyuki calm down." Ryusuke couldn't help but smirk at the boy's enthusiasm. "You're acting like a crazed fan boy right now. Come on, you're a Rock star yourself, have a little dignity." he teased, chuckling.

Koyuki's grin didn't falter in the slightest as he hugged the taller male. "You're the best, Ryusuke!" he cheered. Ryusuke blushed, not expecting to suddenly have the boy in his arms. Not that he was complaining. To be honest, he wasn't into Pop music that much. But if it made Koyuki this happy, maybe he should try it out sometimes.

"Woah, I don't believe it," A familiar voice suddenly spoke. "Is that really you, Ryusuke?"

Ryusuke and Koyuki pulled away from each other, the Alpha scowling at the appearance of his former band mate, Kimura Eiji. More annoying, he had that cheeky Miyazawa Manabu with him. Koyuki frowned, sensing Ryusuke's annoyance. He looked back and forth between the two Alpha band leaders. Manabu looked pretty carefree about it, though.

"I never thought I'd see you in a Japanese Pop concert." Eiji mused. "It's really not your scene."

Koyuki blinked, staring at Ryusuke. If he didn't like Japanese Pop, then why did he...? He frowned. Is he just forcing it... Since I like it?

"Buzz off, Eiji," Ryusuke sneered. "It's none of your business. Besides, you're here, too."

Eiji shrugged. "Yoshito got Belle Ame a spot to open for Chiemi. Not my type either, but Ran was for it since any publicity is good publicity." he sighed.

"So I see you're still playing puppet and letting the guy string you along." Ryusuke smirked. "this is why Beck's much better than your poor excuse for a band, I can't believe Yoshito's still singing for you."

Eiji glared at Ryusuke something fierce, and he lifted up his arm with a fisted hand. Ryusuke got into a defensive stance. Koyuki panicked, unsure what to say to prevent a brawl from happening. Publicity or not, it was never a good thing for Alphas to get into a fist fight.

"Now, now, Eichan," Manabu suddenly hooked his arm around the arm the red-head was about to use to throw a hit. "we came over to talk, remember? He's Shitochan's future brother-in-law, too. Play nice." Ryusuke blinked, not knowing what got him to cool down faster. Koyuki's arms around his waist or the blond calling the red-head Eichan... Or the fact that he just found out Eiji was dating Manabu. The other Alpha turned redder than his hair. "Remember, we need their help, too." Manabu looked down at Koyuki, literally speaking. "especially the little one."

Koyuki blinked, confused.

"Yeah, you're right." Eiji sighed. He looked at Ryusuke and the raven Alpha was surprise to see him look apologetic, and not even in a forced way. "Dude, let's call a truce. We really need to talk." he offered a hand. "Let's start over, cool?"

Ryusuke and Koyuki glanced at each other. The Alpha never thought Eiji would humble himself. Whatever reason he has, it must be important to him. Even more so than pride, which was a big deal for an Alpha. After all, Ryusuke himself was in a pop concert for Koyuki.

The Alpha nodded, grasping the red head's hand. "Cool."

Eiji actually smiled, and he looked grateful. Ryusuke wasn't normally sappy, but he was glad he made the decision. "Thanks Ryusuke, this means a lot."

"Yeah, but what's up? I have to admit, I'm a little surprised." The raven Alpha told him. "I take it that it has something to do with Manabu?"

It seemed like the obvious reason. One of the only reason an Alpha would stop making their pride a priority in making decisions is when it directly involves their mate, whether bonded or not. Clearly, Eiji and Manabu were dating now. Ryusuke just realized that they had been holding hands when they first came up to them. Which was probably how Manabu had easily reached over to hook Eiji's arm to stop a fight from escalating.

"Yeah, more or less," Eiji sighed. "To be honest, I agree with you. I've been letting Ran take over a little too much because it seemed like the easiest way to get to fame, I forgot the kind of band I wanted for myself. He doesn't really even care about Belle Ame as a band. And I only realized it when he didn't care enough to risk Manabu's safety."

Manabu nodded. "We found out from Yoshito. Tanaka-kun, you have the Omega Note as well, don't you?" he looked at the younger boy.

"Wait, what?" Both Ryusuke and Koyuki said at once. But it was the younger Omega who continued to speak. "You have it too, Miyazawa-kun?"

Eiji sighed, wrapping his arm around the blond protectively. "Yeah, Ran came clean to us about it when in one show, it ended up with a pack of fangirls going crazy and almost knocked Manabu off the stage. We thought the night was just crazier than usual, but no. It was almost around the same time we heard of that incident in Seattle. Of course, we heard of that News from Ran too." he grumbled. "And instead of thinking about safety precautions, he thought of the competition since Beck has an Omega with the Note too, and allowed Manabu to continue singing, knowing the risk on his safety because of it. Looks like he thought as an Omega, Manabu should just use his unique appeal to get more fans for Belle Ame."

"So far, it's good since our concert goers are usually girls. Also, when I stopped singing, a guy seemed to snap out of a haze before he could get to me." Manabu shook his head. "We've been trying to get Ran to break our contract with him. Sure, it's not like I want to stop singing because that wouldn't help our band, but at the same time, it doesn't help Eiji's Alpha instincts from going dangerously protective every time I go out singing. Speaking of... Eiji, itai." he said pointedly to the arm around his waist.

Eiji eased up on the grip but didn't completely let go.

"Okay, I think I'm seeing the problem, more or less." Ryusuke nodded. "but I don't see how I could help."

Koyuki had to agree with that. "Or me. I never met the guy personally, but he doesn't seem to like Beck that much." he mused.

"Yeah, I mean, he tried voting Beck out of Greatful Sound. He's not exactly a fan." Ryusuke said.

Eiji nodded firmly, pointing at Ryusuke. "Exactly."

"Eh?"

Manabu smirked. "Of course we've been trying some pranks to get Ran fed up with us. Since he knows what we're going for, he's not cracking, thinking it's just a phase." he rolled his eyes. "But if we had Beck, even some of them, play with us in our Opening for Chiemi, it'll be the final nail in the coffin."

"You want us to play back up for you?" Ryusuke raised a brow.

Eiji shook his head. "No, we want you to play alongside us." he clarified. "Both our bands, at equal footing."

"And you're sure this will work?"

"Ran's all about competition. Collaborations with a single artist, he can deal with since they're not a band like us, but playing with other bands is a big no for him. It's still my band so I still get the final say in the projects we do. Once he sees I'm finally going for that angle, he'll want nothing to do with Belle Ame."

"He can't work his influence here, either. It's still Japan," Manabu said. "So, Chiemi and Yoshito are bigger deals than him considering our country's nationalism, so Belle Ame won't be going when he does. How about it, Tanaka-kun? We got off the wrong foot before, but do you mind helping us out?"

Koyuki shook his head. "No, I'm in." he agreed willingly. Manabu wasn't Taira, but as an Omega himself, he had his pride to show the world that there was more to him. He wanted to support that. "Let's do it."

"Sure Eiji, I know how crappy it is when some business idiot sucks the fun out of playing music." Ryusuke agreed, "we're in."

Eiji smiled, looking relieved. "Thanks man," he bowed his head slightly. "and sorry if this got in the way of your date time."

"Well, it's not exactly over until they get on bed, so they're still good." Manabu shrugged.

Ryusuke and Koyuki both turned beet red. "Wh-What does that even mean?!" The Omega sputtered. "we're just friends!"

"Oooh? You two aren't..." Manabu blinked before chuckling, covering his mouth with a hand. "Wow Ryusuke, when it comes to romance, you and Eiji sure are slower than a turtle."

Eiji huffed. "I told you, I had a plan."

"A plan to confess when we both have gray hair? Yeah, I don't think so." Manabu flicked the Alpha on the nose. "Besides, sex is better when you're young."

"OKAY!" Ryusuke cleared his throat. "how about getting us some guitars before we change our mind?"

Yoshito came with some extra guitars. He gave his own thanks to Ryusuke and Koyuki for their help. Ryusuke figured his eagerness to get him the tickets and V.I.P. cards hadn't been completely to get his blessing now.

Yoshito went out the tent to check if they were on soon.

"By the way, Eiji." Ryusuke started as they checked the equipment backstage. "have you heard of an Alter Choker? Apparently, it'll help minimize the effect of an Omega Note."

Eiji nodded as he handed the raven Alpha a guitar. "Yeah, with no help from Ran." he scoffed. "I already ordered online. It'll be here by tomorrow, though. Manabu and I already agreed he wouldn't sing until then."

"Tomorrow? Then wait," Ryusuke blinked. "Who's singing? Yoshito?"

Eiji raised a brow. "Well, no, he has a sore throat so he'll be using the keyboard. He plays it better anyway. I was hoping that little guy could." he gestured at Koyuki. "I mean, it'll work better, a Beck band member singing a Belle Ame song. He'll probably sing it better than Yoshito since, you know, he's an actor not a singer."

"Hey! I heard that!" Yoshito called out from outside the tent.

"Oh yeah?" Ryusuke couldn't help growling. "And what were you thinking to do if Koyuki got attacked?"

Koyuki suddenly spoke up. "I won't get attacked," Ryusuke turned around to protest when he saw the Omega pull on his hoodie to expose his neck, showing that he had been wearing the ACho all this time. "I came prepared."

"Wow. What made you think you'd need it?"

Koyuki rubbed the back of his head. "Well, you did say you accidentally k-kissed me" he blushed. "since I unconsciously used the Note. I didn't want any stranger kissing me because of that. Uh... Ahem. So, Miyazawa-san, which song should I sing?" he turned away quickly.

Manabu threw Ryusuke an annoyed look before turning his attention back to Koyuki.

Even Eiji stared at his fellow Alpha. "You kissed the guy, you're dating the guy, but he's not..."

"Eiji, please," Ryusuke pinched his eyes shut. "I already hear enough of it from my band mates, especially Taira, don't you start, too."

Eiji laughed, shaking his head. "Weak."

"Shut up, Eichan," Manabu called out. "it took me getting knocked down a stage for you to grow some balls and confess, so you aren't any better."

Eiji flushed in embarrassment. The raven Alpha couldn't even laugh or make fun of him, thinking of how that sounded like Taira for a moment.

"Seriously," Ryusuke groaned. "Omegas should be the dominant gender."

"You think so, too, huh?" Yoshito came back in.

Eiji rolled his eyes. "We all do, damn it."

Of course, both Taira and Saku were still musicians at heart. One way or another, their date had to end with something about music. They decided to go to this nice café that had an open mike for some karaoke singing. It was Unlimited singing for anyone who made a purchase, not that Taira and Saku were one for singing too much. But a lot of people definitely were, if the crowd was anything to go by.

"Saku-chan!"

Both heads were raised as a High school girl approached them, one who Saku was familiar with.

"Oh, Hiromi-chan." Saku bowed his head slightly. "Long time no see."

Taira raised a brow.

"Yeah, it's been a while. You and Koyuki are real jerks, you know that?" Hiromi huffed but with no real heat. "It's been boring in school since you guys both dropped out."

Saku chuckled. "Yeah, well, I can't really say I regretted it." he shrugged. "It would be hard keeping grades up with everything else we've got going on."

"Yeah, I heard about that tour." The female beta said, eyes gleaming. "You guys are really awesome!"

Saku bowed his head in thanks. "We still got some ways to go. How about you?" he asked. "Still practicing the guitar?"

"Ehe, no. I don't really think it's my thing, but I'm still into music." Hiromi told him. "with the training I'm getting in gymnastics, some girls and I formed an amateur girl band. We just dance to some pop songs and try singing them, just for fun, nothing serious."

Saku patted her shoulder. "That's good, it's a start. Who knows, you guys might be the next Aphasia."

"Don't tease, Saku-chan." Hiromi laughed at the comparison.

Taira felt like he needed insert himself in this conversation. "Hello," he hooked an arm around Saku's possessively. "I'm Taira Yoshiyuki, Yuji's mate."

Hiromi blinked, surprised. Saku looked shocked too, if not a little flustered. Suddenly, the High School girl got really excited. "Oh my god!" she squealed. "Is this the guy you've always gushed about? Oh my goodness! Congratulations Saku!" she clapped her hands excitedly.

"Gushed?" Taira blinked, suddenly feeling ridiculous for getting jealous.

Saku managed a shy smile. "Yeah, he's my mate now," he wrapped an arm around Taira, giving him a knowing look. "who's probably feeling a little threatened, if not jealous."

"I'm not jealous!"

"Yeah," Saku winked. "that's why I said threatened."

Hiromi gasped, and starting making a fanning-dismissive gesture. "Oh, no, no, no. We're close but I don't like Saku-chan that way," she laughed. "Well, we did pretend to date. But that was only because some perverts kept peeking during my gymnastics club practice. Saku defended me one time, and they thought he was my Alpha boyfriend cause he was really imposing. We let the rumor spread just to get them back off."

"Yeah, they didn't act up again since I'm no longer around, did they?" Saku frowned. Taira loved how compassionate and caring his mate was, but he didn't know what to think about it being directed towards someone else. "Should I come for a warning visit?"

Hiromi shook her head. "No, no. Sure, they acted up again. But this time, the school custodian caught them and they were suspended. Since then, we've got security guards making routine rounds." she assured.

"Hiromi-chan!"

"Oh, my friends are calling me. I'll see you around, Saku-chan. Tell Koyuki-kun hi for me. It was nice meeting you, Taira-san." Hiromi waved before getting back to them.

Saku waved back slightly before looking at his pouting Omega. "Hey, look."

"What?" Taira raised a brow as the Beta pointed at the blond's sweat gland.

Saku smiled softly at him. "I'm yours, remember?"

"Hmm, maybe I need some reminding." Taira smirked. Saku laughed, shaking his head as he leaned over for a quick kiss. "Okay, I remember." Saku took his hand and pulled him to an empty table. The waiter who took their order said their milkshake was the best seller, so Taira ordered a couple's glass.

"Really?" Saku chuckled when the waiter left. "we could've ordered separate glasses."

Taira shook his head. "No, the couple's glass has more whip cream in it."

"Which is just a combination of two milkshakes worth of whip cream." Saku teased, reaching out to intertwine his fingers with the Omega's. "Really Yoshi, you don't have to be jealous. While I admit it is kinda cute and flattering, I don't want you to feel the insecurity that comes with it."

Taira blushed, thinking of the disadvantages of Saku being able to read him like a book. He was about to respond when someone else did it for him.

"Yeah Taira, it's not like there's anything in a Beta that's worth getting jealous over." A familiar red-head spoke before leaning in between them. "and if you really want some whip cream I can give you some of mine."

The blond immediately growled at the interruption. "Don't flirt with me in front of my mate, Fumi."

"Does that mean I can flirt with you when you're not in front of him?"

Saku scowled. "It's rude listening in to other people's conversations, you know. You better leave, you're making Yoshiyuki agitated."

The Alpha growled in envy with the fact that Saku is able to use Taira's given name easily. He already figured that Taira wants nothing to do with him but that didn't mean he would make it easy for him. "Heh, I was just teasing."

"Sure you were." Taira rolled his eyes.

Fumi ignored him. "I mean, I came over to offer my congratulations." he smirked. "Good going, Taira, I guess you finally found a Beta you can toy with."

"Excuse me?" Taira started to get up, glaring at the Alpha. Alarmed, Saku went over to his side to try and calm him down. "I don't need someone like you accusing me of toying with other people."

Fumi raised a brow for effect. "Oh really? Isn't that why you wanted a Beta in the first place?"

"I wanted anyone who wouldn't didn't see me for my secondary gender, asshole." Taira growled, he knew he shouldn't waste his time arguing with the jerk but it felt like he needed to defend himself. "I didn't want some guy who just lets their baser instincts decide they wanted to fuck me."

Fumi laughed. "Yeah, which is the full description of a Beta, if you ask me since those instincts are more predominant in an Alpha and Omega, but practically non-existant with Betas." he shrugged. "Well, it's nice to know at least one of you are fulfilling their role."

"What the fuck does that even mean?!"

Saku started tugging on Taira's arms and motioning the waiter to settle their order in another table. "Taira, forget him. Let's just go."

"No way Yuji, this guy's trying my patie-"

Fumi interrupted again. "See? There it is again. For an Omega, you refused to be dominated. I'm pretty sure the small fry here does his job well in pleasing you and your fucked up ideals." he shook his head. "But you? You sorry excuse for an Omega, you can't even give him the pleasure of having children."

"Okay, let's get this show started!"

"Woooh!"

Suddenly, in the middle of their talk, the Open Mike for Karaoke singing began and the customers started crowding the dance floor, in fact, the only ones out of the dance floor were the three of them.

"Who's got what it takes to be
My guy
What it takes to make
Me shine
What it takes to get
Me fired up

Who's got what it takes to be
My beau
What it takes to make
Me glow
What it takes to make
This beat flow~"

"Everyone talks about what they think they need
They make up a list of things: 1, 2, 3...
Everyone is different but where we can agree
Is every girl wants her boy to treat her sweet

Don't think that being mean will get you anywhere
Don't think that acting cool will make me want to care
I just need your respect, if you're gonna be the one
And if you must apply then try to get the job done,"

"That's what you were getting at? Fuck you!" Taira screamed to be heard over the crowd mostly, but also to express his frustration. "Yuji loves me for who I am not what I am, and he doesn't need me to give him children to be happy, tell him Yuji."

Saku frowned, not answering immediately.

"Y-Yuji?" Taira stuttered, shocked with the lack of response. In the face of Fumi's smug expression, he couldn't deal with the situation anymore. He went off on his own. "Screw you."

"Y-Yoshi!"

Fumi laughed. "Yeah, go ahead, screw him, Yuji."

"Shut up," Saku grumbled, not needing the brute to make this any worse. He went after Taira, pulling him aside to speak to him quietly and gently. "Yoshi, don't take it the wrong way. It's true that I love you for who you are and not because you're an Omega, and I'm not saying I wouldn't love you if you can't give me children..."

Taira finished for him, feeling a little dejected. "... But you'd still want me to bear your kids, don't you?" he frowned. "But you know the probability of an Omega and Beta having kids is very slim, right? If... If you wanted kids, going for another Beta is much..."

Taira felt frustrated, it's not like he didn't want children but it was never a strong desire. Which, again, was contrary to being an Omega. He didn't want to admit it, but maybe there were some truth to Fumi's words. He would give Saku children, and he wouldn't want anything more than to have Saku father his children. But the chances of an Omega and Beta producing children is like three out of ten. But for both the Omega and Beta to be males, it would make the chances a one in a million.

"Who's got what it takes to be
My guy
What it takes to make
Me shine
What it takes to get
Me fired up,"

"Well, yes, but like I said," Saku caressed Taira's face, "I love you either way. Sure, it would be disappointing, but I can deal with it. Besides, we're still kinda young not to mention we've got Beck. When the time comes, well, we could always adopt."

Taira bit his lip, there goes Saku again, compromising for his sake. It took Fumi messing with him to realize that, all this time, when he thought being with Saku would prove his ideals, his belief that not all Omegas should give in to submission, here he was, being on the receiving end and taken care of by the Beta's love and understanding. He was sure that he didn't lack in loving Saku, but he can't say the same by the amount of time he has actually shown it.

"Yoshi, please, talk to m-"

Just as Saku was about to bring him closer, the crowd got wilder and they ended up getting separated. Taira berated himself, annoyed that he actually let Fumi get to him. Now he was away from Saku and since the singer and her back-up were really good, the crowd got more pumped up, making it difficult to navigate or get his bearings. He couldn't remember where he had last saw the Beta.

"Who's got what it takes to be
My beau
What it takes to make
Me glow
What it takes to make
This beat flow~"

"Hey, you're Sakurai Yuji, right?"

Saku turned around, seeing a girl who was barely clothed. He flushed, turning away and pretending to not have heard her as he continued calling out for Taira. Suddenly, the girl was right in front of him, a flirty smile on her face and she smelled like booze.

"Ano... Excuse me, but I'm looking for someone right now." Saku tried to side-stepped away from her, but he got pushed from behind and ended up going right back. "Ah!"

The girl made sure he wouldn't get away again by wrapping her arms around his neck. "Don't worry, baby boy, you found her." she winked. "I may be a Beta, but let me show you a good time."

"Please don't." Saku winced.

The girl nuzzled the drummer's chest. "I know you play drums for Beck. That's so hot, but~" she cuddled more, her hands groping all the inappropriate places. "you heart beat's hotter~"

"Talk can be so cheap so I just look for action
Be good to me If you want my attraction
Maybe I just want too much but I don't really care
I know I'm worth it and I know he's out there,"

Taira widened his eyes as he finally spotted Saku in the crowd. Unfortunately, he wasn't alone. There was a girl moving in too close to his mate. Saku was doing his best to resist, but with so many bodies pressed in one area, it looked difficult to push her away.

He growled and immediately pushed passed the mass of bodies to get to him. He saw red when the girl started practically molesting his mate in public. He never felt so enraged before, not to mention violated. Saku was his official and bonded mate, there was no way anyone could just touch him up and get away with it.

"Wait, wait
You might be a contender
Hey, hey,
Can I borrow your sweatshirt

Normally I'm not the one to say hello first
But if I didn't I might miss out and that
Might hurt."

"Fuck off!" Taira hissed, shoving the girl away from his mate. The girl stumbled a bit, but what was more important is the fact that Saku was removed from her clutches. He took the chance to latch himself onto his mate. "This guy is my mate, you whore!"

Saku turned a deeper red as the Omega started nuzzling his sweat gland over his head, scent marking him in a public place.

The girl hissed. "Hey, what the hell?! I saw him first, you slut. Who do you think you are? Just because you're an Omega, you could..." She trailed off as soon as she realized who the blond was. "Oh my god, you're Taira Yoshiyuki!"

"That's right, bitch. Take a good look and realized who's the actual slut here," Taira hissed back at her, gripping on to Saku's shirt even tighter. "This guy's my mate, you hear? So back off!"

The girl panicked. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't realize... I couldn't smell you on him... I... bye!" she scurried off.

"Damn her," Taira scowled, frustrated that she really hadn't sensed that Saku was already bonded with him. He unwittingly proceeded to scent mark Saku. "I'll show her..."

"Who's got what it takes to be
My guy
What it takes to make
Me shine
What it takes to get
Me fired up

Who's got what it takes to be
My beau
What it takes to make
Me glow
What it takes to make
This beat flow~"

"Yoshi," Saku cradled Taira's face between his hands. "are you okay? This isn't like you."

Taira whimpered, wanting as much contact from the Beta as possible, "I'm sorry, I'm a failure as an Omega. But I love you, Yuji," he embraced his mate tighter, "Please don't give up on me, I'll try harder for you. Please... I don't care if I sound selfish, but I don't want to look for anyone else, you make me so happy..."

"Yoshi, Yoshi, shhh... You make me happy, too. You're not a failure, you're perfect and I'll never give up on you nor do I want to be replaced either," Saku said softly, kissing away the tears the Omega unconsciously shed. "Forget what that jerk said, he doesn't know you like I do. And I won't allow you thinking poorly of yourself any longer." he proceeded to pull them out of the crowd, towards the exit.

Taira didn't hesitate to follow, but he was a little confused. They didn't even have their milk shake, let alone pay for it. "Where are we going?"

"I've been contemplating what it takes
To make me give my heart
Could you be the one, standing in the crowd
I'm waiting to find out

I'm waiting, waiting, waiting, oh"

"Home," Saku smiled, his hand on the door handle. His other, he used to bring Taira's face closer to press a chaste kiss to his lips. "So I can take care of my Omega."

Taira blushed deeply by the implication and pushed Saku out of the door himself, leaving the crowd to enjoy the rest of their night. He was sure he would be enjoying the rest of his.

"Who's got what it takes to be
My guy
What it takes to make
Me shine
What it takes to get
Me fired up

Who's got what it takes to be
My beau
What it takes to make
Me glow
What it takes to make
This beat flow

Who's got what it takes to be
My guy
What it takes to make
Me shine
What it takes to get
Me fired up

Who's got what it takes to be
My beau
What it takes to make
Me glow
What it takes to make
This beat flow~"

"Ah!"

Maybe it was a little rude to slam the door on Chiba's face, and maybe he should've at least apologized for running into him in the hall and making him drop his instant noodles, but Saku was desparate to get Taira into his bed. Not that Taira was complaining, with all the stress he had to deal with tonight, it made him horny and in need of comfort.

"Yuji..." Taira whined.

Saku proceeded to strip Taira off his clothes. "Shh, it's okay, I'll be gentle."

"I don't care if you're rough or gentle, just take me already." Taira grumbled, wrapping his arms around Saku's neck.

The Beta chuckled before eagerly obliging to his Omega's wishes.

A/N: I'm sorry Chiba was a little extra here, but I felt like I really needed to squeeze him in there.
