Ishir hid his giggles in Zee’s skin. “Yeah? Get me all chubby and soft for you?”
“Urgh, please stop. Get ready for after retirement because all you’ll be doing is eating.”
Ishir felt warm all over. “That doesn’t sound too bad.”
Zee leaned away to look at him clearly. “You don’t want to run for the hills yet?”
“Nope.”
Zee kissed him on the tip of the nose. “What were you thinking about, then? That got you all worried.”
“Oh. Just…I don’t know.”
Zee waited for him to gather himself, Ishir pulling the threads of his thoughts together to make something coherent.
“I’ve been in love with you for so long, you know? For as long as I’ve been gay. And, just…you’ve always been with Omegas. And suddenly you’re bi, and you want me, and you’ve always wanted me—it’s hard to believe. Not hard to believeyou, justit.”
Zee dug his fingers into the roots of Ishir’s hair right by the nape of his neck. “I get that. I do. And, yeah, you were the first Alpha I’d been with, but that’s more because being with Omegas was kind of…obligatory. I just…all I can say is that what I feel about you, I’ve never felt with anybody else. I can’t see that changing. Whether we’re apart or together, all I want is you.”
Ishir smiled, not being able to stop himself from singing, “All I want for Christmas…”
“Dork,” Zee said happily.
“Jerk,” Ishir countered but cupped Zee’s face. “Me too, though. You’re it for me.”
Zee seemed a little teary, digging his face into Ishir’s neck. “I really, really love you.”
“I really, really love you,” Ishir whispered back.
“This might sound crazy, but I’d mate you tomorrow. I need to leave that ball in your court because whenever you’re ready, I’m there.”
Ishir rocked in place, breath knocked out of him. “Zee…”
“I know. I know. But it’s true,” Zee rasped.
Ishir closed his eyes. It was crazy. But…they’d known each other for so long. Had lived together for a year. Had fucked, spent a rut together. What more information did Ishir really need?
“My rut is coming up,” he said, voice hushed as if he were afraid to be overheard. This was just for them. “It’d probably trigger yours if we spent it together.”
Zee jerked back. “For real?”
Ishir shrugged. “Let’s think about it for the next few weeks, but…I’m all in.”
Zee let out a burst of sound, a wild howl, tackling Ishir to the bed. Ishir laughed loudly, clinging to Zee as they rolled around, so happy his chest was going to burst with it.
They kissed, and kissed, and kissed.
“Can you come during the summer?” Zee murmured.
“This one I can. We might have to figure out a system for future stuff.”
“Hell, yeah.” He swept in again, covering Ishir’s face in pecks and then fucking Ishir so thoroughly he forgot where he was.
It didn’t matter. All that was important was who he was with.
**********
Ishir couldn’t help but remain wary, but Zee bloomed within their new relationship.
