Danger Zone

Last night is a blast for Aiden and Drax. The Alpha still can't believe that Aiden did what he did last night. With heavy eyes, Drax wakes up from his slumber and slowly lifts his body from the bed but something is blocking his arm. 

He looks to his side and sees his mate, sleeping soundly beside him. His eyelashes hitting the lower part of his eyes as his mouth is wide open as he snores away. The Alpha smiles at the sweet sight beside him and goes back to his original position. 

His face facing the white ceiling of the apartment that he bought after Aiden and Primo's wedding. It has been a few months since that wedding day. The only apartment that he bought for himself is now the house of his and his mate. 

It is like a dream come true for Drax. A house to be lived in with his life mate and their future kids. If they will have future kids. The thought of having kids running around the house like headless chickens is a funny sight for Drax. 

Something he never thought of doing since he has been lonely after his sister died. He never even had a chance to be with his sister for such a long time since Grandmama already took her away from their family at a very young age. 

The Alpha sighs as he wraps his arms around Aiden and pulls the Omega towards his direction then snuggles through his hair. A strong scent of strawberry rushes through his nose and invades his air passages but the Alpha doesn't care. 

This is the scent of his mate and he will enjoy this. The Alpha purrs softly as he fights his way to sleep again before Aiden could wake up. Even in his adjacent ears, he wants to know what Aiden thinks of him as his mate.

Moments later, a soft snoring turns into a shallow breathing as Aiden slowly opens his eyes and gazes at the muscular torso of his mate. He blinks his eyes as his vision starts to adjust what is in front of him. 

He squirms around to get a much needed space so he can looks up to his mate and stares at his peaceful, sleeping face. The beauty of his Alpha is a sight to see and watch every morning. 

Before, he is so scared of waking up with Primo or the Alpha will scold him for being lazy, even if half of the chores is to Aiden and a quarter of it is for Primo. He is scared of waking up late or Primo will not talk to him for the whole day. 

His former Alpha will ignore him for the whole day and will not come home after three days. That was Aiden's life before the ravishing issue happened. Primo was that manipulative of Aiden's daily routine. 

The Omega can't do anything in his own freedom without asking Primo's permission of doing so. Aiden even thinks that it will just be his life forever, away from his best friend and his family since Primo forbids that as well.

The Omega sighs as he continues to stare at his Alpha and wonders what he did to deserve such a caring guy like him. 

Subconsciously, he moves his arm up to the Alpha's face and traces his forehead down to his chin while humming a sweet song that he learned from his mom, many years ago. 

Aiden's biological mother is known to write sweet songs out of nowhere. His father used to love these songs no matter how quirky they are or no matter how bad they sound. 

The Omega learned one of those songs because his mother used to sing it to him whenever he goes to sleep. The young Omega who has a trouble sleeping, his mother knows a way to ease that insomnia. 

Aiden continues to hum the song until he slowly sings a part of the song that he loves listening at. The part where he can the butterflies in his stomach, whenever he analyzes the whole lyrics. 

[There's a lot of songs about love, played on the radio.

Some of them are painful, some of them are pure.

But none of them talks about who you are.

Maybe this song that I wrote will do.]

Slowly tracing the Alpha's brows, Aiden continues to sing his favorite part. Down to the pointy nose and the cherry lips, the Omega did not stop to sing the song. 

Without him knowing, the Alpha's ear moves towards the sound and a smile slowly creeps on his lips. Aiden continues the song over and over again until he traces every nook and canny of the Alpha's face. 

Aiden suddenly feels some sort of satisfaction with his tracing. He moves his arm away and snuggles into the Alpha's neck, near his scent gland and sniffs some of the scent of lavender and camphor. 

Aiden sighs with such a satisfaction and squirms closer to the Alpha when he hears him mumbling something in his sleep. The Omega's mind, filling with his curiosity, he looks up towards the Alpha and gasps upon seeing Drax's light blue eyes. 

"Good morning, sweet cheeks."

Aiden blushes at the nickname that the Alpha bestowed upon him and hides his reddening cheeks to the Alpha's muscular chest. The Alpha chuckles, vibrations are being felt on his chest as he hugs Aiden tightly. 

"How is your sleep, darling?"

The reddening face of the Omega continues to grow from his cheeks to his ears, evident that he is being embarrassed at the nicknames. But instead of stopping, Drax continues calling him different kind of nicknames until he sees Aiden dies out of embarrassment. 

"Let me see your face, love. I want to see you."

Aiden shakes his head against Drax's torso, making the Alpha chuckles at the ticklish sensation that Aiden's hair is doing on his chest. Drax looks down at his Omega and smiles. 

He needs more to be able to make the Omega looks at him and see his blushing face. He knows that he should not be doing this but he wants Aiden to know that no matter what he wears or what he looks like, Aiden is still Aiden. 

A beauty that he will always protect forever. The man he wants to create a family with and the person he wants to pursue even if they are mated or wedded. 

"Come on, love. Don't you want your Alpha to see you?"

Aiden suddenly moves his head to look at the Alpha without lifting his head to hide his blushing cheeks. He stares at the longing eyes of his Alpha and moves away from his chest. 

Drax looks down to where his mate is and smiles at the sight of a red beef tomato face of Aiden. So red that the Omega looks like he is bleeding out of his own skin. 

"You look like a beautiful and ripe beef tomato."

Aiden gasps at the sudden comment coming from the Alpha and pushes the Alpha away from him. But Drax's strong arms pulls him back and lifts him up a bit and snuggles into his torso. 

"A-Alpha!"

Aiden releases a high pitched gasps from the Alpha when he feels that his hair is poking his torso, resulting in a ticklish manner that the Alpha gives to him. 

"Stop! A-Alpha! It's ticklish! A-AH!"

Alpha continues to squirms on Aiden's torso until the Omega is in a laughing manner. Throwing his whole body backwards while trying to push the Alpha away from him. Drax stops and looks at his Omega who is giggling non-stop. 

The lovely sight that he once missed is here again and the Alpha is loving every second of it. 

"You are such a bully, Alpha! I can't believe you!"

Drax only chuckles and stares longingly at the Omega above him. He leans forward and kisses Aiden's jaw, making the Omega stop from his blabbering and looks down at the blue-eyed Alpha. 

The muddy brown haired man smiles and leans forward to kiss his Alpha on the lips. It starts with a chaste kiss, a slow and not so aggravating kiss, taking everything in and not rushing things. 

The world is there to follow and time is no longer hollow. They are living and they are here to stay, along with the flow of their lives, this is the evidence that they are here to spread their love and their story. 

The kiss ends with another chaste kiss as both of the couples smile to each other. A beautiful crescent smile that hides behind a mask is now on full show and it is beautiful. 

Drax is loving every minute of this while Aiden hums in contentment. The Omega moves downward form his original position before Drax lifted him up and gives the Alpha another kiss. 

"Is this where it starts?"

The Alpha answered him with a hum, slowly pacing his hand on Aiden's belly and caressing it slowly. Thinking all of the days that he wished for this day to come and suddenly, here it is. 

"Yes. This is where it all starts."

The Omega agrees at the Alpha's statement and places his head on the Alpha's chest once again. Breathing softly and inhaling deeply, nothing compares their life to someone else's life. 

The life filled with heartaches and heartbreaks but at the end, it is a happy ending. Maybe this is where it all starts or this could be the end. But one thing is for sure, Aiden and Drax are happy with their own love story.
