Fast Forward to Saturday morning...
Cyrus woke up to rain hitting his window like someone was throwing a million pebbles at it. He rolled out of his bed only to fall flat on his face. He looked down to see what he tripped over and saw a shirtless passed out Jonah.
"Uhhgg...go away." He groaned quietly.
Cyrus knew for a fact Jonah must've snuck into his room to avoid his parents from seeing him drunk. He had went to a party and of course didn't tell Cyrus about it.
Cyrus kicked Jonah in the arm but the boy didn't move. Cyrus got worried and checked the boy's pulse. He released a sigh of relief once he felt a heartbeat. He flipped the boy onto his back and somehow had enough strength to drag him onto his bed. He covered the boy with blankets and sheets then darted out of his room.
The smell of pancakes hit him the moment he walked past the stairs. His destination was the bathroom but he instantly turned around. He made it down the stairs in record time to see his step mother making breakfast.
"Good morning Cyrus." She greeted
"Hey Sharon." Cyrus replied with a smile.
He was happy to see the woman for some odd reason.
"Where are Todd(stepfather) and my parents." Cyrus asked looking around.
"They all have clients today" she explained.
Cyrus nodded his head as he sat down at the counter. "Shrinks...am I right." Cyrus joked
The woman rolled her eyes and sighed. "We take about job very seriously Cyrus." She responded with a light chuckle.
She then looked at Cyrus's neck and frowned slightly. "Where is Jonah?" She asked.
Cyrus took a harsh breath and pointed upstairs. "He went out and partied last night. Does he expect me to take care of his hangover or something?" Cyrus questioned.
"Cyrus I think he must've subconsciously came here. He was probably really drunk and went to a place where someone actually cared about him." His stepmother informed.
"But I don't care about him." Cyrus frowned and crossed his arms.
"Cyrus, honey...it's ok to be angry with him. Alphas can be...stubborn..."
"Stupid, dumb, obnoxious, idiots, assholes." Cyrus interrupted.
His stepmother giggled at the boy's frustration. "All of the above Cyrus. Look the point is that yes he's gonna make you really angry. But he imprinted on you. He won't let anything happ..."
Cyrus cut the woman off. "Then why did he let one of his friends bully me. He didn't even say anything. He just stood there and watched." Cyrus huffed out.
Cyrus's step mother turned the stove off and placed a plate of pancakes and syrup with a glass of orange juice in front of the boy.
"Because he hasn't realized how important you are to him yet. Jonah's still a boy who's growing up. I'm not saying that's an excuse. What I'm saying is he's really immature and insecure about things." She explained pouring a cup of coffee for herself.
"Alphas...insecure...don't make me laugh." Cyrus exclaimed.
"Cyrus you'd be surprised who most of my clients are. Alphas have more layers then you think. They have more emotions then just the two they like to show" she noted
Cyrus's plate was completely empty as he looked up at the smiling woman. "I guess." He replied.
His head randomly jerked to he left. "He's up." He noticed.
He was a little freaked out about how he knew Jonah was waking up.
"Does marking someone give you a special connection besides being bounded?" Cyrus asked the woman.
She nodded her head. "Yup...you already know about Alphas knowing where their omega is at all times. I'm sure you've experienced when Jonah courts someone you randomly get angry even if you don't know it's happening. When other Alphas are being aggressive with you Jonah will become really possessive of you. The deeper you two connect the more abilities you two gain. Like right now you were able to tell that Jonah was waking up but you're not even upstairs. It even gets to a point where you two are able to feel each others emotions" She explained.
Cyrus frowned at the woman. "I wish he could feel how I feel now. Maybe then he'd understand." Cyrus admitted.
His stepmother gave a weak smile. "You should go check on him...see if he's ok. Here take this too."She said handing Cyrus a plate of pancakes.
Cyrus hopped off the stool and slowly made his way to his room. When he opened his door Jonah had his head on Cyrus's pillows and was texting someone on his phone. Cyrus sighed and snatched the boy's phone and replaced it with a plate of food.
"Eat!" He demanded.
Jonah looked at Cyrus like he was crazy. "When did you become the Alpha." He joked taking a bite of his pancakes.
Cyrus sat down a few feet away from the boy at his desk. "Jonah what am I to you?" Cyrus asked.
Jonah's ears perked up slightly. "What do you mean?" He replied with a mouth full of food.
Cyrus took a deep breath to calm his nerves. "You court other people like I don't exist. I'm asking you what I am to you. You don't even acknowledge the fact that I'm in the same room as you sometimes. What's the point of being yours if I'm not?" Cyrus explained.
Jonah sat his plate down and looked at Cyrus. "Your my...friend." Jonah replied.
"Jonah the moment you marked me we became more then just friends. You said you love me. I have no choice to love you. But the way you treat me..." tears started to fall from the boy's eyes as he looked down.
"Cy.." Jonah bolted from the bed to hug the boy. He didn't want to see Cyrus cry. He hated when he cried because it made Jonah want to cry.
"Get your hands off of me!" Cyrus pushed Jonah away.
Jonah stood up with his arms out. "Cyrus I'm just trying to..."
"I'm crying because of you. You hurt me countless times this week and you haven't even noticed. You don't care about me. You never did."Cyrus cried.
Jonah's guilt was very apparent on his face. He didn't mean to hurt the boy. He was just trying to make sure nobody found out about who he really was. He was scared of what people might think. He didn't know that he'd just end up hurting the person who didn't care about him being who he was.
"Cyrus." Jonah whispered while touching the boy's arm.
"I'm...I'm sorry. I'm selfish...I admit that...but I do care." Jonah admitted.
"Then prove it." Cyrus retorted moving his arm from Jonah's touch.
"How? How do I prove it to you?" Jonah pleaded.
Cyrus wiped his tears and looked at Jonah. "Start with this." Cyrus said holding up Jonah's phone.
Jonah's eyebrow arched upward out of confusion.
Cyrus sighed at the boy's stupidity. "Delete every girls number in this phone. If they contact you just act like they have the wrong number." Cyrus explained.
Jonah sighed and grabbed his phone. "If it means that you'll feel better then sure." He stated.
Cyrus placed a hand on the boy's phone stopping him from deleting anything yet.
"You also are not aloud to court anyone unless it's me." Cyrus added.
"But Cy my reputation." Jonah complained.
"But Jonah my heart...which is more important." Cyrus replied coldly.
Jonah sighed and nodded.
"Your heart is." He sighed.
