Love Me, My Omega!

"He's just kidding, kids," Daryl laughed as he pinched Lucas' sides. "Ow!" Lucas glared at him.

"Don't follow his example. He drank spoiled milk as a kid," Daryl said as he shook his head, making Lucas give him a what-the-fuck look.

The kids laughed because of Lucas' reaction.

Daryl and Lucas excused themselves for a while. "Enjoy your special day, Chesca, Chester. Happy birthday!" Daryl said and hugged them before leaving.

"Hello, kids! Would you like to play some games?" The emcee suddenly appeared, making his sudden entrance to surprise the kids.

"Yes!" All of them, including the twins, flocked around the emcee while giggling.. Justin followed them, and so did the other parents.

As the emcee was busy entertaining the children who were having so much fun, there was a dark aura coming from the corner of the room they were in.

It was Daniel.

He was glaring at Tristan who was talking to his father, Ben.

"At this point, you might really have to leave their side, Tristan!" Ben said in a small voice while gritting his teeth. "Yes, yes, I know. I'll be talking to Justin's family later. There's no way I'm just gonna stand here and do nothing," Tristan said and sighed.

It was his children's birthday, but his happiness was overruled by his anxiousness.

He knew he was supposed to have fun with his children today but he couldn't really have a blast with them, knowing that he might have to leave their side anytime soon.

"You have to take care of this by yourself. I am not going to do anything, so handle this on your own. I want to meet his family when your relationship with them is better," Ben said and pursed his lips.

"Yes, father. I will do that," Tristan said as he lowered his head a little, feeling more and more anxious by the second.

He just couldn't brush off the uncomfortable feeling he feels at the moment. He knew that if he makes a wrong move right now, everything might go downhill and he might never see his family ever again.

The entire day, he was very mindful of his actions, pressured by the situation he's in right now.

"Are you alright?" Justin asked as he rubbed Tristan's back with his hand.

The twins' birthday party has already ended and the guests were already leaving one by one before it turns dark.

"Mm-hmm..." Tristan nodded his head and smiled at Justin.

The omega still wore a worried expression on his face as he looked at his alpha. Justin knew that Tristan wasn't telling the truth and thought that he should talk to him about it.

"Just a sec," the omega said and walked towards his parents to look after the twins for a while. He came back jogging in Tristan's direction again and dragged him out of the room.

They headed upstairs to another room so that they're a bit far from the banquet hall where the twins' party was held. He didn't want anyone interrupting their conversation, so he decided to go somewhere a bit far.

"What's wrong, hmm?" Justin asked as he hugged Tristan and looked up. When the alpha saw how Justin looked at the moment, he felt his heart melt.

'This is cheating. I can't just not tell him now that he's giving me that look,' Tristan thought as he looked away.

He knew that he shouldn't feel butterflies, given that things are quite bad for him right now, but he just can't control his emotions when he's before his omega.

"Look at me," Justin cupped his cheeks and turned the alpha's head so he could see his face. Justin tiptoed and placed a soft kiss on Tristan's lips. "What's our problem, my darling?" Justin said, still looking at him with worried eyes.

Tristan sighed in defeat, knowing that he will never be able to resist Justin's eyes.

"I'm just... I'm just scared," he sighed again. "Of what?" Justin asked. "Of the possibility that we might get separated again. Darling, I can't... I don't think I can handle it anymore if something like that happens again," Tristan said with a shaky voice and trembling lips.

Without saying anything, Justin just wrapped his arms around him. The alpha strangely felt comforted even though Justin didn't say anything to comfort him.

'He feels so warm,' Tristan thought as he wrapped his arms around Justin, too. 'I really can't lose him again...' he thought as he hugged him even tighter.

"What you're thinking won't happen. I can promise you that," Justin said as he buried his face on Tristan's chest.

The door of the room they were in suddenly opened, making the two of them turn in the door's direction.

"Jus, let me have a word with him," said Daniel, who was standing in the doorway.

"Dani..." Justin broke free from the hug as he turned around to face his brother. "The twins are looking for you. You should go back there," Daniel said without looking at Justin's face. He knew that he was weak when it comes to his brother, so he avoided looking at him as much as possible.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Justin whispered as he turned his head to look at Tristan. The alpha nodded as he felt his heart thumping loudly, very nervous now that Daniel is here to talk to him.

Justin slowly walked to the door and as he passed his brother, he said, "Please don't hurt him."

While the twins' birthday party was ongoing earlier, he was formulating ways on how to beat him up. Justin knew that his brother might turn violent, so he warned him in advance, fully knowing that his brother wouldn't do anything against his request. However, contrary to what Justin thought, Daniel still wanted to beat Tristan up. He knew he shouldn't do that, so he decided to hit him at least once.

When Justin finally left, Daniel went inside the room and walked towards Tristan.

The alpha braced himself for the worst, expecting Daniel to curse at him and even hit him.

"Fucking bastard. Why the hell are you around my brother and his children?" Daniel said while gritting his teeth. "Do you know how much Justin suffered because of you? What kind of man leaves someone pregnant all alone in the cold? Huh?" Daniel said as he grabbed Tristan by the collar.

Tristan's face was painted with confusion, not knowing what Daniel was talking about.

"What the hell is fucking wrong with you!" Daniel yelled as he pushed Tristan. The alpha remained quiet and just waited for Daniel's anger to subside a bit.

"Why aren't you talking? Cat got your tongue? You can't say anything 'cause you're guilty? Is that it?" Daniel said as he glared daggers at Tristan, killing him in his mind.

"I'm not talking because I don't know what you're talking about," Tristan answered calmly, trying not to look nervous and trying not to feel angry.

Daniel laughed in disbelief from hearing what Tristan said. "Acting innocent, huh?" he said and clenched his jaw.

"Daniel, I know I did not show up at the cafe back then. What I do not understand is leaving Justin in the cold. I don't remember doing that at all," Tristan firmly said while looking directly into Daniel's eyes.

"He waited for you all night even if it meant he had to wait outside that goddamn cafe. Do you even know how hard it snowed that time? There was even a whiteout that night. Justin was pregnant, yet you left him waiting there!" Daniel said angrily while gritting his teeth.

Tristan remained silent.

He didn't even know that something like that happened. Justin never told him how long he waited. The only thing the alpha knew was that Justin waited for him at the cafe.

Upon seeing Tristan's shocked and confused facial expression, Daniel realized that he really did not know anything about it. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down as he closed his eyes.

"Did you really not know anything about that until now?" Daniel asked, trying to confirm if what he thought was actually right.

"No... Justin never told me anything," Tristan said in a small voice as he felt his heart ache.

Just imagining how Justin must have suffered that night shattered his heart into pieces. He hated himself even more for not showing up at the cafe even though he couldn't do anything because of his accident.

"Goddamn it..." Daniel mumbled as he massaged his temples. "Let me ask you this. Why didn't you show up? You could have just gone there and told Justin personally that you're breaking up with him if you didn't want your relationship any longer," Daniel said calmly and sighed.

"I couldn't. I got into an accident on my way there. I wasn't even in a position where I could talk," Tristan said as he looked down, feeling his tears welling up in his eyes.

Although it was all in the past, he still couldn't bear the thought of Justin going through something like that all alone, especially that he was pregnant at the time.

"I'm... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, darling..." Tristan mumbled over and over again.
