Chapter 40

The color of the moon reflected in your eyes. (Moon viewing extra chapter)

My heat came two days earlier than usual.

I had heard from Dr. Kazuki that after you become a pair, the pheromone balance can easily become unbalanced for a while– and it seems that this was the case for me too.

–Well, I guess two days was just the standard deviation.

But still, it’s stressful for the heat to come at the timing when I couldn’t prepare things to be ready for it.

My heat has been coming in exactly one month so far, I’m one of the lucky ones among the omegas.

[I’m fine. I think it’ll subside soon. Sorry I end up hogging your toilet.]

Messages from Yuugo arrived on my phone that I brought to the cubicle.

Coincidentally, this time my heat started when I was visiting Yuugo’s house. Maybe that’s good luck.

Regardless, I felt bad to occupy the toilet with the usual pre-symptoms.

At first, I was being mindful and tried to get out of the toilet in between stomach pains, but eventually I didn’t have the leisure to do so anymore. I’ve been holed up in the toilet like this for more than 20 minutes now.

It made me want to ask how other omegas cope with this kind of situation.

“Huh? What is he-“

Just as my stomach pain subsided and I was about to leave, I got such a message.

–I unconsciously stood still in front of the door.

–Our house together?

As usual, Yuugo’s ideas are way above my expectations. Why did he start thinking from the toilet?

We have become a pair, so I had thought I’ll probably move out of my current house and live with Yuugo someday— But I wonder if he’s planning to buy a new house for that.

–Even this house, he said it wasn’t a rental. That’s the mindset of a rich alpha.

That’s the only thing I still can’t seem to understand about him until now.

The pre-symptoms of stomach pain started past noon, and it wasn’t until after dark that it turned into a full-blown heat.

I didn’t take any suppressants. Neither did Yuugo.

After taking a shower first, I lay down completely naked on the bed of the bedroom. Yuugo came into the room late with a bottle of water.

It seemed like Yuugo also had just taken a shower after me, he was wearing a bathrobe over his bare skin.

“Want to eat something?”

“I don’t need it.”

When I’m on heat, I don’t get very hungry. Instead, I wanted something else right now.

I gulped.

“—Yuugo.”

When I called his name, Yuugo immediately climbed into bed with me.

He put the water bottle in his hand on the bedside, then he moved his body close to me as if he was covering me who was lying on the bed.

As soon as I smelled Yuugo’s scent up close, my reasoning melted away and vanished.

“You smell delicious.”

Yuugo whispers in a low voice, his face close to the nape of my neck.

Just hearing that voice made me feel good and about to lose myself.

“—Then, hurry eat me.”

While answering, I exposed the nape of my neck to Yuugo.

My whole body trembled with pleasure as Yuugo licked up the evidence of ownership carved there. That alone made me get a bit hard.

“ha, ah…”

“You’re bursting in front and behind.”

“You don’t have to say it… ngh”

Yuugo’s voice was teasing, and I countered by shaking my head. He grabbed me lightly by the chin, and then covered my lips with his.

Wet squelching sounds reached my ears.

The sweet taste of Yuugo’s saliva seeps in through our entwined tongues. When I swayed my body from the pleasure, Yuugo chuckled.

“Your scent is getting stronger and stronger.”

“…So is yours, Yuugo.”

“Today is a full moon, so it might be even harder for me to hold back.”

Yuugo said that and turned his gaze toward the balcony. As if following him, I turned my gaze in the same direction and my eyes were met with the full moon that was floating in the sky.

The moon was surprisingly large, and I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

“—It looks like today is the harvest moon of mid-autumn.”

Yuugo said that and explained it to me, but his big hand covered both of my eyes.

He kissed me even harder than before.

“Don’t fawn over the moon, look only at me.”

The words he whispered to me in between made my whole body heat up.

Once I was enveloped by my pair’s pheromone that become stronger, I could no longer think of anything else.

–Was he jealous of the moon earlier?

I thought about Yuugo’s action from a day ago while splashing the hot water in the bathtub. It’s because my head was finally starting to become clear after we held each other the whole day.

My body is covered with marks that I don’t remember. The teeth marks that remained clearly visible transmitted a numbing pain when I touched them with my fingers.

“I’m sorry. Does it hurt?”

“No, it doesn’t hurt that bad.”

Yuugo, who had just finished washing his body, looked at me with a dejected expression.

He put his fingers on the edge of the bathtub and peered into my face as if trying to match my eye level. His face was that of a scolded dog.

–Even though he’s this good-looking.

The look on his face was so adorable.

I stuck my fingers into his damp hair and stroked his head. Perhaps because of the droplets from his hair about to get into his eyes, Yuugo’s eyes are tightly closed.

Even so, his mouth looked a little relaxed and happy, it made me feel like bursting.

“—What a pity. I wish I could have seen the full moon a bit more. I’ve never seen a moon that big before.”

“Ah… Sorry.”

As I blurted out my complaints on purpose, his relaxed mouth tightened.

I couldn’t help but laugh as I looked at Yuugo’s face, which had returned to a dejected expression again.

“….Pfft haha. I’m kidding. I also didn’t have the leisure to do that. C’mon Yuugo get in the bath too. It’s cold in there, isn’t it?”

When I urged him to do so, Yuugo came into the bathtub with me. He lightly lifted up my body, which was sitting facing him, and sat me between his legs.

For me, this position is my usual spot so I don’t have any intention to complain. I’m still in the middle of my heat after all, having my body sticking close to Yuugo made me feel the most comfortable.

“I’d like to promise to see the moon with you next year… but maybe it’s impossible.”

“Why?”

I thought that kind of promise would be nice, but why did he think it’d be impossible?

As I turned my head to him while saying my complaints, my eyes were met with Yuugo’s serious expression from over my shoulder.

The color of his eyes seemed to shine paler than usual— similar to the color of that full moon I saw yesterday.

The omega’s desire deep in my body got evoked in a shiver.

“—They said full moon makes you really turned on. So I’m not sure I can keep myself from holding you.”

–Ah, no good. I’ll get swallowed.

Yuugo’s pheromones enticed me all at once.

Even if my omega desire is forcefully lured out, I no longer dislike it.

If anything, I end up wanting more.

“I might be the same way—”

Yuugo smiles at my answer, squinting his eyes happily.

However, his eyes have a certain ferociousness in them— they are beautiful, but scary.

I think they were really similar to that full moon, after all.
