Chasing And Claiming My Rejected Omega Mate:Alpha's Severe Regret [BL] Chapter 106: Talking

Jason

"Can I call you Jason?" Niko asked and I instantly nodded. I feel grateful and glad that he wasn’t shutting away and sending away. This was a very great start. Of course I wanted him to call papa or Dada or daddy, but I’d happily take what I’m being given for now, and patiently wait till he gets comfortable enough to call that.

He bounced on his feet just as Kenny and Rory finally stepped forward till they were standing on his two sides. Kenny crouched beside him and for a mont, I thought he wanted to ask Niko why he was being nice to , but to my surprise, he said sothing else.

"I told you he’s cool, didn’t I?" He said softly and sothing shifted in my heart just as my eyes widened. Niko nodded at Kenny, eying Kenny with so much love and trust and I realized how Niko loved and trusted Kenny. A part of felt jealous because I believed that was supposed to be , not Kenny, but the rational part of felt happy and relieved that at least Niko had Kenny this whole ti when I was absent.

As I watched Niko and Kenny continue to speak, I felt a fuzzy feeling within . When I glanced up, I noticed Rory was staring at and that made startled for a mont, and after a few monts, he glanced away, making wonder what it was that he was thinking about.

"Jason?" Niko called out and I glanced at him once again. He appeared hesitant as he continued.

"Kenny said you’re like , that you’re an enigma. Is that true?" He asked, voice unsure and I nodded almost imdiately, eyes briefly darting towards Kenny.

"Yes, pooks. I’m just like you! Isn’t that cool?" I asked, watching as he chuckled softly before shrugging.

"I guess. But... but I’m facing a bit of a challenge with mine." He admitted quietly and my heart instantly ached hard, feeling with a fierce urge to instantly make everything feel better.

Was this how it felt to have a child? Whereby you’d be feeling this imnse feeling of love and protection over them?

"What kind of challenges, bud? You can tell anything about it and there’s no reason to be shy or embarrassed since I’m also one." I continued and that cald Niko a little, then he suggested that Rory and Kenny step out while we speak in private. That shocked imnsely because I didn’t think he’d trust so fast yet, all my thoughts were that it was gonna take months of building a bond between us.

After a few confirmations that we’d be fine, Kenny and Rory left, leaving Niko and I alone. I panicked first, feeling nervous and suddenly not knowing what to say. It felt like I had to pick my words and had to impress him in this conversation and also to not make mistakes so I don’t end up disappointing him.

"I can sll your nervousness." He called out quietly, stifling a laugh that wasn’t judgntal and it instantly reminded of the fact that he was literally my son and had inherited every trait my enigma had.

"I can’t help it, I don’t want to make a mistake in order to avoid disappointing you." I admitted sheepishly as we walked towards his made bed and sank into it. He let out a thoughtful hum while watching silently.

"I don’t think you will though. You don’t seem collected and that’s reassuring because I thought there was sothing wrong with for never being collected and always feeling like it’s a ss in my brain."

After that, we went ahead to have a long conversation that lasted for over an hour, and by the ti we were done, he was fast asleep in a deep sleep.

~~~

After I told Rory and Kenny that Niko was asleep, they almost couldn’t believe their ears. They went ahead to reveal that he hadn’t fallen asleep like that in ages and had been struggling to sleep for the past few days now, and that it had to be my scent that cald him enough to fall asleep.

That made feel pleased because it was testant that I was already being useful to Niko even though we were yet to graduate to the level of touch.

Rory asked if I’d like so water which I instantly accepted as I sank into one of the couches here in the sitting room. The apartnt Kenny and Rory share was beautiful and tastefully decorated, giving it a calm and colorful atmosphere.

Kenny was silent, seated at the couch opposite mine and I couldn’t help it, my eyes kept darting towards him till Rory returned. After I downed the water and we talked about a few things along with a ti whereby we’d et next for Niko.

"How about we scent today?" I suggested and Rory choked on his water.

"That’s just because of my enigma and nothing more." I rushed to clarify. After eting Niko, I was very eager for it to return, so that I’d be able to fully give Niko the help he needs.

"How about we do it tomorrow? After what happened the last ti, I don’t think it’s reasonable to do that here. Besides, Anna is also around, so we just can’t do it today." Rory finally responded, cheeks pink. An image of his dazed face from yesterday flashed through my mind and a rush of heat shot through .

Kenny has an unreadable expression when our eyes locked right before he glanced away.

My eyes fell over his lips and I briefly wondered how he’d taste. How does he kiss? Is he an aggressive kisser? Or the pliant one? But he doesn’t seem pliant in any way, he strikes as the one that would fight for dominance in a kiss to the very end. That should put off and make lose interest, but instead, it stroked sothing primal within and I shook my head to rid it of that thought and then I glanced away.

I really am fucked up at this point. How the hell did I let myself get attracted to two people?! A couple at that.

~~~

"Can you tell how you managed to pull through with Niko by yourself?" I asked Rory. We were all seated around the dining table here in their house, with so food before us, but none of us were eating yet.

Rory shrugged and played with his chopsticks a little.

"I wasn’t alone though. I had Kenny beside when Niko got cut out of ." He explained and sothing pulled at my chest.

"Kenny was with through every step. Before Kenny, I suffered trendously. From one problem to the other, from being betrayed to being thrown out, to being stalked, threatened and so on. But Kenny ca into my life like an angel. He’s an angel, literally." At the end of his sentence, he and Kenny exchanged soft looks.

The actual reason I suggested we spoke about this was because I wanted us to get it out there completely so we could all move on from it together.

"Damn. I’m so sorry you went through all of that." I sighed out, and I actually ant those words. I rember wishing he was also suffering in the past like I was, but now I can see that what I went through was nothing compared to his in a way, since he was the one that was pregnant and holess between the two of us.

"That’s in the past now." He responded softly just as I glanced at Kenny. He was slowly chewing but on noticing my gaze, he glanced up and warmth rushed through as our eyes t.

I licked my bottom lip and cleared my throat, feeling awkward at what I was about to do next.

"Thank you. For helping Rory. For being with him. For loving Niko. Thank you, and... I really an this." I admitted quietly, my ears burning in embarrassnt, but I refused to take the words back.

Kenny was silent till after about a minute when he nodded. "I an, I did it for myself, because I love Rory and also love Niko like a child of mine, but I understand where you’re coming from, so... of course." He responded, shocking because I expected him to do sothing like to fling those words back in my face.

Perhaps Kenny wasn’t as bad as I’ve always thought. Perhaps we’ve only been misunderstanding ourselves this whole ti. I an, that’s clear enough because if he was Indeed an asshole, Rory won’t definitely be with him.

~~~

The three of us were walking down the hallway. It was late in the night and I was finally leaving for my own apartnt. Of course, I wished I could spend the night, but clearly we weren’t there yet. I was just very happy about the whole of today because it felt like I made a lot of progress in a single day.

We finally stopped walking and I glanced at Rory who was glancing between Kenny and I, right before he spoke.

"Since today was so eventful and I believed we’ve all got to understand each other more, why don’t the two of you share a hug in order to... y’know? Hug it out."
