"Honey, finish all your breakfast, dad will be here soon for you." Ash tries to sound as kind and calm as possible, hiding the despair in his voice, because yelling at his 5-year-old son is not a good option, not when he does not have the right Blame but it's so damn late for Ash.
Mornings are usually quiet for some and a complete disaster for others, perhaps it all depends on the time you wake up and the number of activities you have to do. In his case, the Ash morning is turning out to be a total disaster. Keeping you up late finishing one of the biggest projects you have to deliver on the weekend is the main reason your day started off on the wrong foot, but being lazy and to put off the damn project would be even worse; neglecting qualifications is not something that remains on their blueprints. Not today, not ever.
He goes from one place to another inside his house, looking for what he needs for work, as well as the belongings of his little boy, Jai, who is sitting at the table eating that sandwich that Ash managed to prepare in record time. He is fortunate that the house is only one story, with the rooms closer together, and the idea of walking up and down stairs like crazy is not at all attractive. Leaving aside the time and fatigue saved by not having to go up to another floor, there is also the advantage of being able to monitor your little child and take care that he is kept safe. And no, Ash is not some overprotective omega for his puppy, rather his puppy is too hyperactive in the morning — and at any other time in the day — to be left alone for long is really bad idea for his son.
Just then, Ash nearly tripped on the living room rug as he was about to grab his jean jacket from the couch. He murmurs an endless number of bad words, hoping that his son does not listen to him. Upon obtaining the garment, he hurried back to the dining room to see if Jai finally finished his breakfast. Seeing his little boy take one last bite of the bread made Ash feel bad; that was not enough breakfast for his son, and the boy's question is enough to confirm it.
"Daddy, can I have a glass of milk?" He looks wide-eyed at Ash, who frowns in concern.
Look at the watch on his wrist, how the hell he manage to be this late? He was about to go to the kitchen and get it what his son was asking for, when the doorbell began to ring.
They both know immediately who it is, well of-course they know, Ash was the one who invite him. He ran towards the front door, he really run towards it, he really running out of time today. The omega takes advantage of his long legs to reach and open as quickly as possible.
"You're just in time," he exclaimed, relaxing his shoulder a bit as he stepped away from the entrance to admit the man standing in front of him. He ducked before walking through the door, taking the boy in his arms enthusiastically.
" The house is a mess, sorry. Jai just had breakfast, although it wasn't much, so if you can give him something else I would really appreciate it. No sweets, you know how he gets when he eats a lot of sugar... "The words came out of Ash mouth by themselves. That happens whenever Ash is nervous or in a rush.
And for while Ash continues speaking, the other speaks in a low voice with Jai; probably promising to buy him ice cream just say goodbye to Ash.
Ash walks to grab his jacket and put it on correctly, running his hands through his hair in an attempt to fit it in the best possible way. He takes all the things he needs, taking all important folders, a briefcase with even more papers, the house keys and his cell phone. He does all of this while still telling the newcomer what to do with the child.
When he turns back to the other two, he realizes that he is not being heard by other male.
"Sebestian, are you even listening to me?"
Sebestian was caught making funny faces with Jai, who was seated on the table by his father. Before Ash wake-up call, Sebestian stood up correctly, with a smile plastered on his lips and a funny look, listening to the omega talk non-stop has always caused him slight grace and not because Ash was a joke.
"Ash, I know you need Jai, you don't have to give a speech or an instruction manual." He carefully took down from the table towards Jai.
"Get your shoes, we are leaving baby. "He gently ruffles Jai's hair, before he runs to his room. His eyes follow the boy until he is lost behind the open door, he turns his gaze to Ash, who has stood right in front of him an unamused face.
Sebestian not a stranger, he is Ash ex-husband. Sebestian wears a tailored black suit, with a well-tucked white shirt, a navy blue tie, and well-polished black shoes. An alpha with dark brown hair, that gives off a delicious aroma of coffee and with its attractiveness it captivates anyone. The people closest to Ash often asked him his reasons for leaving alpha like Sebestian, so good and considerate... Well, that's another story.
"You have to relax."
"Seriously Seb? Relax? The meeting is supposed to held at 11:00 is an hour and a half early, I'm damn late for work, all because I occupy the night to finish a project. I have a lot to do and I'm sure you do too, so I apologize for making you come here at the last minute, I will try to free early and pick up Jai as soon as possible after work."
At this point in the conversation (more like Ash speech), Sebestian grabbed Ash by his shoulders, giving him a little shake so he would stop talking and pay attention. Because when Ash gets like this, he stops listening to everyone around him.
"Ash! Listen to me carefully, keep calm. Number one, I can take care of Jai as long as it takes, it's not a bother me in anyway. God, he's my son too. And number two, are you at least listening to yourself? You can't go Jai from my office, for two reasons: it's too far from your work, and your car is broken. Are you hoping to take a motorcycle taxi from your job to mine and then another ride here?"
Although he don't like to admit it but Sebestian is right. He let out a heavy sigh, relaxing his shoulders just a little, thinking about how the hell he will manage all this alone. Damn the moment her car broke down, now he has to take a motorcycle taxi to work and God knows how much they'll charge him to the center of town.
"I'll come get you after you get off work and bring you home to Jai, okay?"
"It's not necessary, you can just bring Jai home, I..."
"I don't want but's, now go and put your things inside the car, I'll take you to work."
"Not!-"
"You're late Ash, do you really want to wait for transportation and want be to more late for your work?"
Sebestian was lucky since the day he met Ash, from when they were friends and after having another type of relationship, he has always managed to convince him easily. This time, instead of getting a negative response or silly excuses, the only thing Sebestian received from her ex-husband was a sigh of surrender. The moment Jai left the room with his shoes on and a small backpack on his back, Ash took his son hand and lead him outside, making his way to the front door. He struggled a bit because of all the things he carried with him, at least until Sebestian rushed to help him carry Ash pile of folders and diary. When it was time to get inside the car, Ash things were placed in the back seats of Sebestian car, the furthest from the car seat where Ash was of placing Jai carefully, his son is keep quite s
Ash heard Adom laugh, pulling him completely out of his thoughts, which were of the possible detergents he could use to try to remove the stain. He looked forward again, how lucky he was to be so tall, so he didn't have to lift his head to look at Adom's face. They are close, not much but they are quite close. The closeness is not annoying, Adom is a good and respectful boss, never getting closer than he should, or making inappropriate comments. He is same like his ex husband, Sebestian. Adom smiles sideways, tilting his head slightly. "I'll have to wash it later." Taking a step back, he made a couple of movements with his arms to remove his jacket. "I'll go through the folders and check all of them, I will inform you if I find anything , good day Mr. Cole." Adom opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated so he preferred to keep quiet. He waved his hand, signalling to Ash so he can go and do his work. They can't waste more time, not when the meeting going to start in
The moment Adom went down the elevator, Ash excused himself to both beta and omega who he was talking, lying about he need to go to the bathroom. He walked at a hurried pace to the toilets and when he was inside, he verified that he was free of any other presence; after that, he rushed to call Sebestian to inform him of his early departure. Ash held his cell phone carefully as he wait for Sebestian answer. Ash is actually lucky, Sebestian answer his call instantly, Ash listen how Sebestian talking to someone else before he start speaking to him. "I'm sorry, did I interrupt?" Ash murmurs in a nervous voice, the last thing he wanted to cause any problem for Sebestian. "Not at all, it's just Man. We are practically sharing our cabin today, at least since he found out that I brought Jai with me. What's going on? Ar
After their dinner with Man and Jack Sebestian drop Ash and his son Jai to their apartment. It's pretty late when he came back to his place and he is sure Allen is missing him like a crazy kitten missing his mouse. Both him and Allen are like Flex Glue. Not even water could separate them. No matter how hard you tried, they’d always find some excuse to be together. That, of course, is before Allen was forced to go on his company. No one other than but him. Not even his younger brother who is Alpha. Sebestian remember the particular weekend meeting. Allen was going to attend metting . Three days without Allen seems simple enough except for the fact that they are literally a mess without each other. Sebestian huff and change his clothes whenever he think abou
Adom has known for years now that Ash would be the death of him one day. He just never imagined that it would go down like this, with Ash sitting on Adom desk, asking Adom to consider having sex with him. "You're actually serious?" Ash nods. "As death," he says. Adom stares at him, and prays that he's going to wake up from this absurd dream soon. "Think about it!" Ash leans closer. "We've got to do this anyway at some point, and honestly, I'd rather do at you over anyone else in this place." Adom pinches himself discreetly. It hurts. He really isn't dreaming; Ash is finally trying to murder him. It's...harder than Ash expected it to be, having Adom around him all the time and getting to do all sorts of things with and to Adom , but not being able to kiss him. In his defence away from Adom is a very long time, long enough for all the immunity he used to have built up against all these urges to kiss Adom to be completely useless now. And besides, Adom at twenty-five is markedly
It starts the way all of Zack start — with Seth at the forefront of things, acting as the catalyst. In this situation, specifically, it starts when Seth asks loudly, in front of everybody, at the biweekly sibling dinner Zack hosts, “So when are you going to make an honest man out of our Zack?” Zack stills where he is reaching out to pass the plate of stir-fry eggplants to Seth to stop him from continuing to whine over how they’ve set the table up with his favourite dish the furthest away from him. Rose, Seth sitter ends up taking the plate over from Seth, smiling as she shakes her head. “Don’t tease him, Seth,” she chides gently. “It’s not like that,” Seth tells Rose, scowling. It’s not the first time Seth has made similar suggestions, but it’s one thing to ignore Rose jesting when it’s just between them, and another when they’re not the only ones present, and Seth words could be taken the wrong way. Rose has been living with Seth for the last three years. She’s a much better hou
"What do you mean I can't?" Ash asked, following Warne out of the Adom home office and into the living room. "You know exactly what I mean. We've talked about this before," Warne sighed without looking back at Ash, as he crouched down to rifle through a box of files placed near the living room couch. Brandishing the papers for his work permit application that he was holding like it was some sort of secret weapon he could convince Warne with, Ash replied, "But the application deadline is only two weeks away, and then I won't be able to apply until next year." "There's nothing wrong with waiting it out and applying next year," Warne replied patiently, but frankly, Ash was in no mood for patience, so he frowned, "But why can't I just apply now?" Standing up with a file in his hand, Warne finally looked at him, "I really don't want to have this conversation with you again. I already told you that you should focus on your classes. Not in company" "I can work and study at the same time,
"I didn't, because Warne would have said no," Adom shrugged casually. "You're incorrigible, puppy," Ash shook his head, disapproving, but also amused. "I don't know what that word means, so I'm going to take it as a compliment." Ash laughed at that, snacking Adom in the arm again, and Adom just tittered, "Hey, kitty, your ears, they're doing that funny thing again!" That earned Adom another smack, which had Adom muttering about how poorly he was treated, but he was making that funny face he often made, which had Ash laughing even harder. And somehow, Ash felt small again, as small as a carefree omega, but the world felt big, teeming with endless possibilities. It was three days before the application deadline, that Warne finally agreed to letting Ash apply for work authorization. It had taken Ash relentlessly badgering Warne for eleven days straight...and it had also taken a discussion that Adom had had with Warne early in the morning one day, when Ash was sleeping, and that A
