CHAPTER 10 - HAPPY OMEGA

Light was right when he thought he wouldn't be sleeping that night. But the reason was different than when the night first started. He couldn't stop thinking about Lawliet's worlds. And also about his scent. When they were in the attic, he was letting out something completely opposite than earlier that night. It was like Lawliet was nervous… even afraid of something. There was also a moment when he let out some honey-like-calming pheromones, which ended with Light being even more pissed. He hated when someone was trying to soothe him. But a minute later, when Lawliet was wrapping him into the blanket, his scent changed again. It turned back into spicy-sweet which Light like so much. And in this close proximity, it got very hard to ignore. It wasn't pushing Light into anything, it just was there. Just as Lawliet.

It was actually nice.

And confusing.

But Light's inner omega was currently purring, as he was lying in his bed, wrapped in his blue Ravenclaw blanket which faintly smelled like his professor.

That's ridiculous. Light thought. I am not denying my inner omega? Or am I?

Light bit his lower lip. Earlier that night he promised to himself he is never going to act like an omega.

Alright… maybe I do.

But he had a good reason. His inner omega was always giving him ridiculous and embarrassing ideas. Like being jealous because Lawliet probably had someone. Or wanting to hug him. Or the constant need to bathe in his damn scent.

I don't want to be like that! I don't want to be someone's ridiculous little omega! His mind was yelling while he instinctively pulled the blanket to his face and inhaled. Lawliet's scent almost fainted already and he found himself longing for it again.

"What the hell am I doing?" Light almost yelled and kicked the blanket away from his body.

"Oh shit this is bad..." Light whispered and hid his face to his hands. He really needed those lessons. Lawliet was the only person at the school who knew enough about the situation to help him. But how should he do that? He couldn't just let go of his control and let his omega do what it wants.

Maybe I should ask Lawliet…yes. He will probably know how to do it. What was it he was telling me at the lessons? Not to push so hard? Easy to say for him… damn bastard!

Light let out a long sight. He didn't forget about the power of Lawliet's scent when he tried to make him submit. He shivered at the memory. But strange was that he was able to recover from it quite fast, when he was again in Lawliet's presence. It seemed that the positive pheromones lasted longer than negative ones.

Anyway… there is no point thinking about this… I have to figure out how to let out my inner omega and not a fool of myself. Maybe…

Light bit his lower lip again.

If my inner omega likes Lawliet so much, being in his proximity more often might make it a little happier. I just need to know how far my omegan part is willing to go...

Light got an idea. He had to try something. He had to try to let his omega out and find what it wants. And when was the better opportunity than now? When he was alone and no one was there to see him?

He reached out for the blue blanket again and inhaled. The little of Lawliet's scent that left there filled his lungs and Light fell with his back on the pillow with a silent moan. He had his eyes closed and he was able to see Lawliet's face in front of his eyes. He saw that cute smile and those little wrinkles around his eyes. He saw his large hands and long finger wrapping around his wand.

I wonder how those fingers would feel on my… Light felt himself getting wet and his length stiffen in his pyjama pants.

His eyes snapped open and he kicked the blanket on the other side of the room.

"No! No! No! No!" He said with eyes wide open.

I can't think about these things! He will teach me and we will be alone… oh shit!

"Have you guys thought about what you want to be, when you finish school?" Matt suddenly asked them, when they were eating lunch at the great hall.

All the group turned their eyes to him. It wasn't very often when Matt started conversation, but he felt a little bolder for the past few days.

Mello raised an eyebrow: "I'll be an Auror, of course. Like L. But you already know that."

Matt nodded and looked back into his plate realizing that the conversation probably ended there. But Near also reacted: "I am having the same plan."

All the eyes were at the albino boy at once.

Mello chucked: "Oh come on, Near, it's not a job for an omega."

Sayu snapped the back of Mello's head.

"Ouch!" The blonde let out.

"You are being stupid Mello! Of course it is a job for an omega! Any job is fine for an omega! Take my brother! He is practically one step to get into Auror's office! And he will get there!"

Sayu was looking at Mello with a very dark scolding look, which was also… not happening very often. And Matt was pretty happy to see that. It meant that Sayu was still critical towards Mello, even when it was common knowledge that she is in love with him.

"I agree with Sayu…" Matt gave the girl a shy smile and then turned to Near: "You should definitely try it. Even L said you are a very good wizard. And we still have almost 3 years to finish school, so the rules for entering the office may change."

What Matt said was bold enough for Mello to frown and Near to smile: "Thank you Matt. I appreciate your support."

"Yes! It's good to know that Matt has brains. Unlike someone!" Sayu said and gave Mello another hard look. But Mello was not really paying attention to her. He was looking at smiling Matt, who suddenly did not look shy at all.

"And what is it you wanna do Sayu?" Mello suddenly turned his attention to the girl by his side and his tone was venomously sweet.

Sayu smiled at him: "I don't know yet… It depends on... my mate. If they will want me to be home with pups… then I will. If they will want me to work… then I will find a job."

Mello rolled his eyes: "That's stupid. You should want something for yourself. Not only for your mate."

"Want what? Being an Auror? You said it is stupid a minute ago." Matt told him with a pissed voice.

Mello opened and closed his mouth.

Matt knew the blond was not used to him arguing… but that was about to change. He will have to get used to it.

Near felt the tension between best friends and decided to intervene: "I think both possibilities are right. If Sayu feels like waiting for her mate to help her decide, then it is the best for her. And if I feel like trying to achieve my goal without mating, it is the best for me. Everyone should do what they feel is the best for them."

"Yes, exactly! And no one should mock omegas because of what they want!" Matt said and gave Mello an angry look. Then he watched as the blonde's faces contorted with a few different expressions. There was a lot of anger but also… pain?

Mello abruptly stood up and took his belongings: "I forgot my textbook in the dorms. See you guys at the class."

With that, he left as fast as he could.

"Wait! Mello!" Sayu wanted to run after him but then she felt a hand stopping her. She looked at Matt who was holding her.

"No… leave him be. He needs to realize what he's done wrong. He will be back and apologize."

Sayu sat down again with a silent but on her lips and then they continued eating silently.

Matt sometimes looked at Sayu who suddenly looked sad, but he also felt Near's eyes at him, every other moment. He knew he was probably acting out of character but in the last few weeks, he just had enough. Mello was acting like a jerk very often and someone just had to let him know.

He and Mello were friends from childhood. Before they entered Hogwarts, they shared a room at the school orphanage and they were inseparable. Well sometimes Matt felt like Mello was inseparable from him. He really didn't need anybody in his life. He was an introvert and he was alright with his books and magical animals. But Mello was always around him, literally forcing him to play together and to do everything together. It was tiring. Matt never admitted it loud but he was quite relieved when they came into school and were sorted into different houses. He knew Mello was suffering from that a lot, but Matt finally felt like he had at least some of his time for himself.

Of course, being a silent Hufflepuff student wasn't always easy. Some other students were bullying him for the first few months. He didn't really care. He was thinking some shit about them, but it was alright as long as he could focus on his work. But when Mello figured out, he put a stop to it very quickly. Those students ended up in the infirmary, Mello got detention and lost 100 points of his house. But to other Gryffindors he was a hero anyway. Because he stood up for his friend.

So again, Matt was marked as a property of Mello and there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't mind all the time. He liked Mello of course. They had a lot of fun during the years but sometimes Mello was just making things hard for him. He didn't know what he was doing wrong and Matt couldn't say a thing because he knew Mello was doing it because he liked him so much. Like Mello protecting him all the time. But Matt wasn't defenseless and it was simply pissing him off.

At those times, Matt silently wished they weren't friends. Especially for the last two years, when Mello was getting all the attention of betas and omegas while he was just a shadow of Gryffindor's golden lion.

For the last two years Matt was even taking different classes than Mello. On purpose. Because he really needed some time away from the blonde. It ended with him getting closer with Near. They were always friends but as they studied their subjects together, Matt grew very fond of him and his silent company. And that's how Near ended up being a part of their group. Much to Mello's annoyance. Not even a month later, Mello came with Sayu Yagami as a new addiction to the party. Matt was under suspicion that Mello did it as a payback for Near but it didn't work. Because Matt didn't really mind Sayu. Mello on the other hand, had a problem shifting her attention to something else than himself. Matt found it very amusing at the beginning. He was also happy, because Sayu wanted Mello for herself and Matt again had more free time. But in the last few months…

Well… Matt somehow started liking Sayu. He was not sure when exactly it started. But probably when he noticed Sayu has boobs. And he could swear it was getting bigger. Especially when she came back after summer break, already as an omega. Matt found himself often wondering how those little apples would fit to his hands.

But it was not just about that… she also had a pretty face. And a nice skin. Not as nice as Mello but that was different. Mello was a guy. And he was not an omega.

Matt had quite an understanding for Sayu being so in love with him. He was a good wizard, he was brave, bold and he was also pretty. But his opinions sometimes were… sometimes Matt just wanted to punch him. Like today. He again showed how stupid he can be.

Matt wasn't always such a bitch but this time he really wanted Sayu to notice and finally come down from her lovey-dovey cloud. And if possible… shift her attention to him.

But his racional side was also telling him that it wouldn't make much of a difference anyway. None of their feelings really mattered until they presented. Because starting dating before that was a risk. There were many young pairs who ended up disappointed and ashamed, because they both presented in the same gender later.

It was quite clear that Mello is going to be an alpha.

But Matt was still not sure what he was.

An Omega? Probably not.

An alpha? Probably not.

A beta. Most probably.

He never minded that. But sometimes he wished he would present as an Alpha and Mello as an omega. Because sometimes... he really wanted Mello to cut his shit, shut up and submit. It would be fucking worthy to have Mello on his knees, begging for his cock. Matt would torture him with alpha pheromones… maybe he would even fuck him. But he would never bite. Because having Mello stuck by his side for the rest of his life, was a fucking nightmare.

Light was walking into the stairs of DADA tower very slowly. He tried not to think about his... last night's problem but he was failing. He was sure he would be red as a tomato when he stepped in front of Lawliet. But he had to do it.

He waited 10 minutes in front of the class, before the first years ended. Lawliet already moved them inside… so it was only a matter of time before he moved the rest of his classes too. Light just hoped he would be ready for that.

When the first years finally moved from the class, Light stepped in. His heart beat increased immediately when he smelled Lawliet. The man was currently searching for something in a book and he didn't see Light coming.

"Professor?"

Lawliet looked from his book and smirked: "Hello Light… what can I do for you today?"

Light clenched his fists: Why does he have to sound so cocky?!

"I've been thinking about what you said yesterday."

Lawliet closed the book and raised an eyebrow: "And?"

"I don't know…" he cleared his throat: "I don't know how to unleash my inner omega."

Lawliet let out a chuckle and leaned against the table: "It's simple… just act on its needs from time to time."

Light opened and closed his mouth. It was not exactly what he wanted to hear. Memories of previous night flooded his mind and he felt heat coming to his face.

But Lawliet started laughing: "I am joking… well… maybe not entirely... but it's not just about… that…"

If Light was flushed before, now his face must have been like a tomato. He felt very uncomfortable in this discussion.

Is Lawliet really talking to me about… sex?! Just how unprofessional he is?!

Light cleared his throat: "Professor?"

Lawliet only rolled his eyes: "All right… give me your schedule."

Light was shocked by the sudden change of the topic, but he was also glad it came. He took his schedule from a bag and handed it to Lawliet. Professor looked at it and ran his thumb over his lower lip: "Can I keep it? Until tomorrow? I will have to figure out how to squeeze you into my schedule and not to ruin yours."

Light nodded: "Of course professor."

"Alright." Lawliet said and showed the schedule on his table.

Then they were standing there for a moment. Just staring at each other, until Lawliet raised an eyebrow: "Anything else?"

Light had many questions on his mind. He wanted to ask when they will start, if they will work on his omega side first…. But he decided to leave it be. He needed to get out of there before Lawliet would start talking about omegan needs again. And if Light wont like the schedule, he will confront him about it later.

"No professor… have a good day." Light said and left.

"Light, are you feeling alright?" Mikami asked when they were sitting in the great hall and studying that night.

Light looked at him, confused: "Of course. Why are you asking?"

"You are reading the same page for 15 minutes."

Light looked down into his book and then at Mikami. He had to force a smile: "It's nothing, I was just thinking."

Mikami frowned behind his glasses: "Are you sure it's nothing? You look very tired today."

Of course Light was fucking tired. He went through hell the previous night. He was attacked by alpha's scent, then he cried for hours, then he was soothed by the same alpha's scent and then he was day-dreaming about that damn alpha touching his… never mind.

Yes. I am tired. I am tired as hell. Light thought. But it was not something he could tell Mikami.

"I didn't sleep well at night. I am going to get to bed early today. It's gonna be okay." Light said.

"Okay…" Mikami nodded and looked back into his book.

"But thank you, for worrying about me." Light told him with a sweet smile.

Mikami smiled back at him and Light could literally see how he is gathering courage to do something. And then…

"Light… would you like to go out with me this weekend? For a drink? Or a dinner? Or… a walk?"

Light wasn't surprised by the question. He was actually expecting it much sooner. What surprised him was that he realized he doesn't really want to go out with him. Which was ridiculous because they were slowly getting closer for years… and Light actually wanted Mikami. Romantic relationship would make sense for them both.

So why the hell do I feel like it is wrong?

"Yes… I would love that." Light said against his doubts and smiled at Mikami.

"Great so… take a free saturday and we will go to Hogsmeade." Mikami told him and he suddenly looked much more confident.

"I am looking forward to it." Light lied and felt disgusted by himself.

At that moment an old black owl with a few white feathers flew into the hall and everyone turned their attention to it. It was an evening, not a normal time for a post.

Light was surprised when the owl let out a latter right in front of him. But it couldn't be a mistake because there was his name on the latter. Light quickly unwrapped the message and quickly realized what it was.

His schedule for private lessons.

Light frowned while looking at his old schedule, the one that he borrowed to Lawliet, because it had more cells than before. Lawliet planned their lessons together in the evenings, which was not surprising. A bit surprising was that Lawliet actually planned to teach him 3 days a week which was much more than Light could ever hope for.

But what really pissed him off was what was actually written in those lesson planning cells. There wasn't: Auror's lesson or Wand studies. That damn bastard wrote there: Happy omega.

OMG! I can't believe It's already chapter 10! It's not even two months since I started this! :O I am sooo proud of myself. :D :D :D

Actually… really I am not. This was supposed to be a 20 chapters story and it's getting completely out of hand! :D If I will be able to squeeze this shit into 40 chapters it will be a miracle. :D LOL! I am impossible. :D :D :D

Alright… see you in… I think 10 days. ;) Love you! ;)
