"I'm glad that Cir is younger than me. With Emi's speed, I don't think I can catch up!" Tul sighs. He drops the soft teddy bear on the sofa at the living hall.
Ezra and Fa pay a visit at Tul and Cirrus's home after class. They live in a modern condo, right in the middle of a bustling city of A Nation where everything is just by a walk away. Cirrus chose the location mainly for his work purpose. Sarin's hotels and cafes are all over the town, it's easier for him to commute.
"Maybe that's her power? Speed?" Ezra asks, curiosity hits the Omega as he is aware about the Sarin's family power.
"I'm not sure. I mean, Emi is not even a year old. So, we can't diagnose her yet," says Tul. "But, if it's true... I need to ask Old Grandpa Sarin for some help."
"Speed is something that most Alpha have. An Omega usually not that fast. If Emi is indeed having that super power, she must be the first Omega that can match an Alpha," Fa smiles proudly.
"I am not prepared for that..." Tul whines tiredly. Both Ezra and Fa can only laugh.
"Laugh as much as you can. I can't wait to see what kind of breed did you two have in the future..." Cirrus comes in with Emi in his embrace. The cub is giggling and leaping in joy once her eyes lay on Fa. She's taking a like on that Golden Alpha since he's the one who always play babysitter to her.
Ezra on the other hand, turns crimson by those words. He takes a glance at Fa who gives him a teasing smirk. Ezra turns away, hiding his shyness behind the soft toy that he had in his hand.
"I'm guarantee ours will be special. Is that so, baby?"
"Baby? You call him that now?" Cirrus snickers.
Fa gives Ezra a side hug. "He's mine now. Of course I'll babying him!"
Ezra tosses away Fa's hand. "Oho, who's the baby; me or you?"
"You. Of course it's you!"
"Your audacity to call me a baby when you're the one who whines 24/7 when we're apart! Tsk! Not to mentioned, I was the one who change the handle of the shower that you broke last week. Who's baby now?"
The two young couple start arguing about who's being a boss, and who's the baby. Meanwhile, Tul and Cirrus casually lean against each other on the sofa while Emi is already dozes off in her crib. They shake their head in disbelief.
"Are you okay if I behave like that?" asks Cirrus to Tul.
"Are you okay if I behave like that?" Tul throws back the question. Cirrus frowns a bit, pondering while imagining Tul whines like a dumb teen in puppy love.
"Ah... I don't think our relationship will last if that's the case. You're beautiful and elegant. Being a cutie pie doesn't suits you," Cirrus immediately revokes the idea.
"And whining is not the Cir that I know. I don't think you'll like that," Tul scoffs just by imagining a stone cold heart like Cirrus can even call him just how Fa calls Ezra.
They both exchange looks and laugh.

"Wah! It's been ages since I ate Tul's cooking!" Fa pats his tummy while grinning widely.
"Dishes taste better than Sarin's Mansion, not gonna lie!" Ezra scoffs, leaning next to Fa. That Golden Alpha snakes his hand around Ezra's waist.
"When Tul was still the Omega of that old mafia Alpha, he spent most of his time doing house chores rather than attending parties like the other Omega partners. That's why he knows his way at the kitchen," says Fa.
"Tul had another Alpha before? Kinda expected by not in the way that I ever imagine!"
"That old man only wanted his money. Tul's family is the richest back in his hometown; an Old Money family. Tul is the last descendants, so the heritance belongs to him. His life was tragic before he met Cirrus."
Ezra shuts himself and listen attentively. He shares the pain as an Omega; being manipulated by the cruelty of the world.
"That's what we; the Omega, are scare the most! We never know people; one day they love you, the next day they hate you. Being an Omega is not a privilege especially when you have looks. It's more like a curse," Ezra sighs.
"That's why I always stalked you. Once I found out your whereabout, I keep checking on you from afar..."
Ezra frowns, looking at Fa in curious. "Wait, how long did you stalk me? I thought we met during that basketball game?"
Fa grins, knowing that he already busted. "Well... actually... it's way before that. I started stalking you once we got married in MewMew Land. I was so afraid when I saw your picture on Ou Academy website. You're so ethereal! I feel somehow insecure..."
Ezra gives Fa a deadly stare. He drops Fa's hand from his waist, enveloping his body and wait for the Golden Alpha to spill more.
"Say, who were your accomplices? I guess, Cir is not the only one..."
Fa blinks innocently, yet his wide grin tells the different. "Sora helps me as well. Whenever I couldn't log in, she will stalk you from the moderator account."
"So, not only you stalk me offline, you even troll me online as well! Wow! And here I am, thinking that a stalker character like Hua Yong is not existed in real life!" Ezra's brow almost knitted together.
"I told you to stop watching series! You're so addicted to them, that the characters have become the reference for you!"
"What's the problem anyway? Look at me now! I have my own crazy husband like Hua Yong!"
"Husband?" Fa leans against the door frame while smirking at Ezra. Knowing that Fa is teasing him, Ezra smucks and throwing a light punch at Fa. That Golden Alpha steps closer to him, caging his lean body between his hands.
"I got carried away! Don't feel so full of yourself!" Ezra pushes Fa away from him, but he doesn't budges at all. The smile that he draws on his face slowly disperses.
"It's not wrong to feel full of yourself when that's a fact, right?"
Ezra blinks his eyes in shock.
"We're married in MewMew Land. I take it as a serious matter. That means, we're indeed husbands. I am your husband, and you are mine."
Gradually, Ezra draws a smile on his face. Hearing the word 'mine' makes him feel elated. Unknowingly to that Omega, his gland spikes a sprinkle of freesia, enough to invite Fa's blood orange pheromone.
When an Omega has more than 90% compatibility with the mate, in any circumstances—especially during heat—the pheromone will release as an invitation. Ezra knows it's not the time of his heat, but the love from Fa truly makes a difference.
Fa softly caress Ezra's cheek and his hand lingers lower to his neck; just an inch away from his gland. There's a magnetic power that lures his pheromone to brush the skin, enough to make Ezra shivers till the spine.
Fa reads the room carefully. He leans even more closer than before.
"Baby... I think... You're ready for a mark..."
