A/N: AND FINALLY! After a long-ish leave of absence, I am back! Ready to write again! The move is over, and everything's fine now. Well, except for the lack of internet, but we're working on it. Okay!

Disclaimer: I still don't own it.

…..

"And so, I repeat: What do we do now? We've found out a little more, but where does that really get us?" Yuri asked.

Otabek sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "I really don't know Yuri. Do we just…go about our normal lives?"

Yuri scoffed.

"What about this is normal, Beka? We got MARRIED. We can't just ignore that."

"I'm not saying to ignore it, I'm just saying…we go about our lives with some…modifications." Otabek said.

A bit offended, Yuri glared at him.

"Is that what I am to you now? A modification to your life?" he asked, upset.

Otabek shook his head. "That's not what I meant. I didn't mean for it to sound like that."

Yuri glared at him again, sighed, then sat down on the bed, looking at his phone.

He had quite a few notifications. Notably on Instagram. He clicked on his page to see many pictures of the night before, posted (presumably by himself) the previous night.

It was…embarrassing to say the least. In more than half of them, Yuri was wearing the wedding dress that Phichit was now wearing, and draped all over Otabek. He noticed that he already had the bonding mark in the pictures, so that must have happened before they took these pictures.

"Well…we can't stay here forever. How long did you say you got this place for, Phichit?"

"I didn't. But only for one day. I could barely afford one room, that's why I roomed here for the night, even though it was supposed to be a wedding present."

"Well, if it's only for one day, we should probably gather up everything so we can get the fuck out of here. I kind of want to go home." Otabek said, starting to gather stuff up from the room.

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea. And Phichit, take off that dress, you look ridiculous." Yuri stated.

"Ok." Phichit said, starting to take the dress off.

"For god's sake, Phichit, we're right here! Give us a minute to leave." Yuri looked appalled. He quickly grabbed Otabek and left the room.

Yuri sighed and glared at the door.

"There wasn't much to clean in that room. Phichit must've passed out last night." Otabek commented.

Yuri sighed a big sigh and nodded. "Well, at least that's one less thing we have to worry about."

"I'm gonna go use the bathroom." Yuri said, heading toward the nearby bathroom. Making sure to lock the door behind him, Yuri stopped in his tracks. Tears began to fall down his face and he was starting to lose his composure. Everything that had happened recently was starting to catch up to him. Sighing to himself, Yuri went to the sink and splashed some water on his face. He looked at himself in the mirror and noticed how sunken his face looked.

"Wow…" he whispered. He couldn't believe how terrible he looked. His eyes were red, and as he looked at himself in the mirror some more, the dam of his façade broke, and the tears that he had been holding back gushed.

And so he cried, and cried, and cried.

He rest his back against the wall and continued to cry, slowly sliding down the wall to hug his knees.

"Yuri?" Otabek asked from behind the door. "What's wrong?" he asked.

What? How did…'Oh, right', Yuri thought, 'The bond. He can feel my sadness.' There was no use hiding it. Yuri opened his mouth to reply, only to be silent.

Yuri couldn't answer, he couldn't breathe.

"Yuri?" Otabek asked again, slightly louder. Still Yuri couldn't speak.

"I'm coming in." Otabek announced, opening the door to the most heartbreaking sight he had ever seen. In all of the years that he and Yuri had been friends, he had never once seen the Omega cry. It was a strange sight, as if he were watching a dog walk on it's hind legs.

"Yuri…" Otabek closed the difference between the two and slowly lifted Yuri from the bathroom floor. "Please don't cry." He begged. "It pains me to see you like this."

It was as if Otabek's presence loosened Yuri's tongue.

"Beka…I…I don't know what's wrong with me." Yuri cried.

Otabek smiled softly and began to stroke Yuri's hair.

"Don't worry about it, Yura. I understand. A lot has happened lately."

Yuri closed his eyes and fell against Otabek's chest. His eyes were still shut, so he couldn't know for sure, but Otabek suspected that they were very red.

"A…Alpha…" Yuri sighed, falling asleep nuzzled in Otabek's arms.

Otabek stiffened, and his eyes went wide at that. Yuri had just called him Alpha. Otabek supposed that was true, he was Yuri's Alpha now.

Realizing the uncomfortable way Yuri fell asleep, Otabek picked him up gently and left the bathroom. He gently set Yuri on the bed so he could rest for a moment, then went to tell Phichit that Yuri had fallen asleep. He spoke in a whisper, so as not to disturb Yuri.

"I'm gonna let Yuri nap for an hour. If he hasn't woken up by then, I'll wake him and we'll leave, but he could really use a nap right now." Otabek whispered to Phichit.

Phichit nodded, agreeing.

"Let's just let him sleep for a bit longer." Phichit agreed.

Otabek went back into the room that held Yuri's sleeping form. Although he wasn't going to take a nap himself, Otabek crawled into the bed beside Yuri and began to once again stroke his hair. It wasn't long after that a noise got his attention. It didn't take him long to figure out that the noise was coming from the sleeping figure beside him.

"Yura…" he whispered in awe.

Yuri was purring.

That was good, as Omegas only purred when they feel very comfortable and safe. It must have been the petting, or the closeness of his Alpha that had set it off.

Otabek smiled and looked down again at the Omega beside him.

And for the first time, he noticed how beautiful Yuri actually was.

….

A/N: He guys, I'm so sorry it's been so long. It's been forever, I know! But the move was so goddamn stressful, and now we're broke and trying to fucking survive when we owe bills and shit. It cost almost $1000 to rent a UHaul for a few days to move, and then we had to find a house and…ugh. BUT, hopefully everything is okay now and I'll be able to write more. I don't have internet, so I'm going to try and upload this with my phone. Wish me luck. Comments and kudos are love.

Hugs and Bugs,

Smileyface.
