The Claimed Omega

'I can imagine that.' Wonho laughs, imagining the other omega's whiny face, scoffing that insult after being annoyed by the giant alpha. And then, he pictures Chansol, standing behind them both, looking clueless. Infected by the omega, Minwoo too joins in, making up random scenarios where Chansol would act lost. In between their laughter, their orders came and soon, the two males start to eat, making small talks in between, trying to outdo each other in the things they achieved the past years.

'I sew a plushie.'

'I know. Bong looks stupid, just like you.'

'Yah! He's called Bongbong.' Minwoo argues, secretly enjoying the idea that Wonho actually paid attention to his masterpiece. Wonho shows him a picture he took of SooA's Bong and starts to comment of the colour design choices, then the alpha retorts by challenging him to sew his own plushie. Wonho quickly changes the subject, 'I learned Dutch.'

Minwoo chuckles, amused at the cute slip-of-the-tongue. 'You mean French?'

'Ik ben Wonho. Aangenaam kennis te maken.' Okay so Wonho actually meant Dutch. Slightly pouting his lips, curving it downward while nodding as he pretends to be impressed, he pulls out his phone, Googled the meaning and re-translates it to Dutch. It is the exact same thing Wonho just said. Showing the result to the omega, Minwoo gestures him to show his own phone. He is sure Wonho just Googled it just now. 'A for effort. Nice pronunciation though.'

'I really did learn Dutch!' Wonho glares at him but it didn't affect the alpha even the slightest. In fact, he enjoys the discontented look on that face, a look he has been missing so much. Taking the wine glass close to his lips, he again, challenges, 'Convince me,' and starts to sip, adoring Wonho's thinking face. Now the man cannot cheat anymore with his phone on the table. He wonders how the man will try to go around it. This should be interesting…

'Laten we puppy maken.'

Minwoo chokes on that sour wine so badly he has to cough it out. After the waiter came and gone to take care of the mess, he is finally able to calm himself enough to look at the omega in front of him. Wonho has an adorable sheepish smile of victory.

'I think someone taught you wrong.' He is finally able to comment, enjoying the squinting look of doubt the other is giving him. 'You know what you just said right?'

'Shit. My bad.' After a few seconds, Wonho finally realizes his mistake, causing Minwoo to laugh awkwardly. That is a cute, shocking mistake. He'd have to thank the person who thought his omega that for giving him this amusing memory. 'Kim Minwoo, laten we baby maken.'

Minwoo almost choke again as the words came out of Wonho's mouth. He looks over at the confident face, now completely sure that Wonho knows exactly what he is talking about. He turns his head to look around them. He still cannot believe Wonho would say such bold thing in the first place, let alone doing it in public. Nobody paid attention to them though, to his relief. But then again, nobody understood them. Gulping, Minwoo nervously looks back at Wonho, half-hoping that he isn't mistaken, and that the man actually meant what he just said, not just for the sake of making jokes. 'A-are you serious?'

'I really miss you.' The man confirms.

Staring at the ceiling, enjoying Wonho's squirm in his arm, Minwoo laughs as he is reminded of what happened a few hours before. Just as things are getting good, he realized he had no condoms, so they had to stop halfway. And after mentioning that he would be out for at least half an hour due to the distance to the closest convenient store, Wonho desperately suggested they do it bareback. But with the condition that he release outside that is. It was funny hearing such words coming from Wonho because the man never suggested something like that himself; he would always imply it ambiguously and let Minwoo do the talking. And the fact that he had no condoms was also amusing to both of them because Minwoo would always have it around back then. He used to buy them in bulks, suggesting how sexually active he was then, and how inactive he is now. 

But despite how much both of them changed, they still feel familiar to each other.

The omega is still moving, not able to calm down just yet so Minwoo locks the man by tightening his hold and turning their position around, just because. He is happy, he doesn't want to lay still either. Wonho pushes his head away in an attempt to break free, but the alpha repeats the same thing so he cannot do anything but scream in frustration. 

'Yaahh!!' Minwoo chuckles at that voice. He misses this man. He misses the rare times he was able to agitate Wonho enough to get this kind of reaction. He always thought the omega looks really attractive when he tries to act tough, which is why he loved to tease him so much. It seems, over the years, Wonho learned not to hold back. This meants Minwoo won't be able to hold back his hands either. This should be fun.

After a few more minutes of bickering on the bed which ended up in another make up session, both the males finally calm down. The sky is already dark, and looking at the omega, Minwoo knows he won't be going home tonight. 'Wonie.'

Wonho stares back at him, granting him a sweet smile. He has one hand over Minwoo's broad chest as he sniffs in the alpha's scent that he longed for. Minwoo does the same thing, taking in the sweet Jasmine he missed all these years they are apart. He did try to move on and forget this omega, but besides one beta lady he dated for a few months, none of the other omegas nor betas were even close to be compared to Wonho. To this day, he still had no idea what attracted him to the man in the first place, but he knows, it is meant to be.

'What?' Wonho finally asks him in a hoarse voice. His eyelids are half close, probably tired, or maybe he just feels sleepy because he is comfortable. Either way, the voice is sexy. Changing his position to face the tired omega, Minwoo touches their forehead together and smiles as Wonho does the same. The latter still loves doing it. 

'Why did you wait this long to find me?' He finally asks the question that has been bothering him. He didn't mind it when the omega is France all this while, but it bothers him why he didn't contact him sooner, when Wonho has been here for at least more than a month. Is five years of separation still not enough for him to figure out his feelings?

'I…' Minwoo holds his breath as the man starts to answer his question. Indeed, seeing how he is trying to find his words made his concern very likely. Wonho still isn't sure about them. 

'I had to wait for my heat to end.'

'What?' That isn't the answer he was expecting. 'Heat?'

'Meeting you after a while somehow always trigger my heat so I had to take precautions, right?' Wonho lifts his head to look at the alpha, 'Or you're going to go on about how I should stay indoors and stuff. Besides, things wouldn't be fun with me clinging onto you crying for you to take me back.'

'Fun?' he lifts one of his eyebrows, smirking at that bold statement. 'So, this is fun?'

'Not as I expected it to be.'

'Yah!!' He pushes Wonho away from him as he sits up and leans against the headboard, pretending a pout. He couldn't act too long as Wonho laughs excitedly at his reaction, 'Now it's fun.'

Grinning stupidly, finding himself still very much in love with this mischievous little thing, he grabs the man and again, pulls him into a hug. Wonho put on some weight and he feels really good in his arms, no longer feeling like he would break with a little force. He even gained some muscles, making his already beautiful body look even better. 'By the way, did you only learn those horrible pick-up lines in Dutch?'

Wonho hums teasingly at the question. 'Omo, how many people had you tried that on? Yah!'

'Please, who needs pick-up line when you're swarmed by alphas?'

'Swarmed by alphas?' Minwoo squeezes Wonho as tightly as he can, wanting to suffocate the man. 'Andwae!! You're mine!!!'

'Let go stupid! God, you're so annoying! Why did I like you?' The older lightly slaps on the alpha, wishing it will annoy him enough to loosen his hold. Once succeeded, he takes deep breaths to readjust his respiration. Wonho has to hold his laugh when he looks back at Minwoo to find the man crossing his arms while acting cute with yet another pout. This man sure still acts like a child. But he knows exactly how to handle it.

Wonho climbs over the alpha, rendering him motionless in shock as he sits on his stomach, leaning over him. Bringing his face close, Wonho stares at the big brown eyes, slowly considering whether he should tell him. He smirks as Minwoo gulps, enjoying his dominance. 

'Mooie alpha.' he whispers, 'Het komt in orde. Ik zal je beschermen.'

'Wonie…' Minwoo's eyes widens, his smile disappears completely. He thinks he misheard it. 'That's…'

'I remembered.' Wonho pecks those beautiful lips. 'Everything.'

'Yo-'

'I never thanked you.' He interrupts the alpha, knowing fully well Minwoo has nothing to say. That he just wanted to speak because he is shocked. Smiling widely at the alpha to reassure him, Wonho places a deep kiss, secretly taking pleasure for making the alpha silent. He keeps his eyes locked at the man beneath him and takes a deep breath.

'Kim Minwoo, you claiming me is the best thing that ever happened to me.' He feels the hug around his waist tightened and looks back at the alpha who is clenching his jaws, seemingly nervous. Maybe. Or he may just be too overwhelmed with emotion. Before he can give in and dive into those protective embrace, Wonho holds himself back. He needs to say it.

'Thank you for claiming me.'
