"Hah?" Ezra pulls the phone away from his ear. He is on call with Tish, and ends up telling that female Omega everything; from the beginning until the end.
"So, is he recovering now?"
"Yes. But he needs to wait until he gets back his sight. It's just temporary, an aftermath of excessive use of power," Ezra replies. He leans his back against the wall outside Fa's ward.
"We are all amazed when you joined the family. But now, this is flabbergasted!"
"Imagine me watching everything with my own eyes, Tish. I can't even digest it at first. But, right now, I think I can totally get over it."
"But.. come to think of it... Imagine, having a spike of Enigma's DNA on your body... wow! You will be so powerful once you mate with Alpha Fa!" Tish shrieks in happiness.
"Tsk! Even by imagining, it's enough to give me goosebumps! There's no way I can let him have me that easily!" Ezra scoffs. He glares at the door of Fa's ward, thinking how perverted the Golden Alpha is. Even when he is sick, he manages to tease Ezra!
"Ah.. ah... I pray to the deity, you'll get what you meant!"
"You jealousy bitch!" Ezra curses at Tish, making his friend laugh out loud.
"Eh, can you tell me the name of the hospital one more time?"
"A Capital General Hospital. Why?"
"Jeez, I heard the hospital is haunted!"
"What? Hey, why are you checking on the hospital, huh? Stalker!"
"No... I have never been to A Nation before, so I am dying to see what it looks like. There's a picture of the hospital, and when I check it online, there are several horror stories associated with the hospital!"
"Tish, I think you should stop listening to those horror podcasts!" Ezra scoffs. He knows Tish loves listening to horror podcasts. Maybe this is one of the urban legends that she heard from there.
"I swear to the deity, these stories are real! I'll send you the link..."
"I won't open it."
"Why... are you scared???" Tish teases Ezra.
"I am. not!"
"Then, check the link now! Gotta go, bye!"
Click!
The call has been cut even before Ezra can say goodbye. He shakes his head faintly and checks his LINE. Tish has sent him a link. Ezra ignores it, but later, he clicks it and checks it out. Just out of curiosity, besides, he is boring.
***
The night has come, and Ezra walks out of Fa's ward, just finished supplying him with his pheromone. He sighs and frowns, almost kicks the door out of frustration.
"Aish, this pervert Alpha! I swear to God, I never met someone with a dirty brain like him!" Ezra gushes in frustration.
Just now—when helping Fa—the Golden Alpha told Ezra there's a way to speed up the pheromone supplemental process. So, this very young and innocent Omega took an interest in knowing the method.
And this wrong-minded Golden Alpha teased him, saying the best method is by having sex.
Of course, Ezra snapped and immediately refused the proposal! When Fa laughed at him, that's when he realized that Golden Alpha was playing around, feeling amused by his reaction.
"One more sex talk and I'll kick your balls!" Ezra grunts in anger. He walks along the corridor to the café, planning to savor everything until his tiny tummy bursts.
***
Ezra sighs heavily when he checks his watch. Time passes so fast when he's just about to have fun. Now, he needs to go back to check on Fa before calling the night. He has been spending a week at the hospital, and is gradually sick of it.
Usually, after checking on Fa, he will take a shower and go to bed in the empty room next to Fa's room. He never feels bored because he shares the room with Caspian. Tul is always at Cirrus's room, so it's only the two of them.
Ezra is growing closer to Peinaire's Omega, sometimes they will spend the whole night talking about this and that. That Omega is a bit younger than Fa, which means, he is only a bit older than Ezra. So, they share a lot of things in common; like playing games and the latest trends.
However, two days ago, Caspian had to go back to the mansion, an order by Peinaire. It's expected, since the Omega had spent quite a good number of days away from his Alpha. So, it's time to go home.
Ezra spaces out under the shower, more like feeling drowsy and tired. He can't even lift his hand to wash his hair, but he forces his body to withstand the tiredness. He hates sleeping with an oily scalp, which will start getting itchy. So, washing hair is a must; once every two days.
Coming out of the shower with a pair of yellow pajamas, Ezra suddenly feels thirsty. He grabs a flask from the side table and nonchalantly walks out of the room to go to the pantry.
As he strolls along the corridor, the light starts flickering. Ezra frowns, looking up to the ceiling.
"Jeez, there must be a short circuit somewhere!" That Omega whispers. He keeps his feet on the lane, walking calmly towards the pantry.
Once he fills the flask with some lukewarm water, he walks out of the pantry. As he is about to go back, suddenly the light flickers again. Ezra stunts a bit, holding the flask tight.
He remembers the story that Tish told him. The one that he read through the link that she sent to him.
Don't tell me that story is real! That poor cub's legs wobble a bit. He musters his courage and keeps walking, the room is just a few steps away.
Suddenly, the lights went out.
"Ah!" Ezra falls on the floor, his legs give up at once. His heart beats like crazy. The flask rolls on the floor, creating a collision sound that bangs the whole corridor.
A pair of hands, out of nowhere grabs Ezra by his shoulder. He screams like crazy, throwing his kitty punch randomly in the darkness.
"Yarh... yarh... You hurt me!" That voice wakes him up from the fear. He grabs the owner and hides himself in the embrace.
"Help! Ghost!"
"There's no ghost in here, you silly! Well, there are some wandering souls, but not the haunted one..."
"No! They are haunted! I heard it in the podcast!"
Fa scoffs. He cups Ezra's chin, forcing the little Omega to look at him. Ezra blinks in shock. Fa has already unwrapped his blindfold.
"Fa, your eyes..."
Fa stares deep into Ezra's gaze. He smiles as he softly strokes Ezra's soft hair. The smell of his shampoo brings a soothing feeling to Fa.
Ezra feels a feeling of familiarity when he locks his gaze with Fa. The warm feeling envelopes him inside, calming his scared heart. When that Golden Alpha leans closer, this time, Ezra doesn't flinch at all. It's either that he is still in a daze, or he got stoked from the glistening eyes of Fa.
"Come... let's go back to your room," says Fa. He helps Omega stand up, before they carefully walk in the darkness towards the room. Once they arrive, Fa is ready to go back to his room. But, Ezra seems reluctant to let him go. His hand grips Fa's forearm tightly.
"Are you still scared?" Fa asks this naughty Omega. Ezra nods, eyes almost in tears again. That Golden Alpha sneers, giving him a teasing look.
"If you wanna sleep with me, just say so..." Fa whispers. "However, I won't guarantee your safety. My rut is just around the corner..."
"Shut up!" Ezra smacks Fa's shoulder. That Golden Alpha laughs a bit, before he caresses Ezra's hand softly.
"Come..." Fa drags Ezra to his room. The bed is huge enough for him, he won't mind sharing with Ezra. But when both of them try to squeeze in, the space seems not enough for both of them. In the end, Fa drags Ezra in his embrace; the Omega's back is leaning closer to his front.
"I'm warning you, don't cross the line!" Ezra warns Fa. He hums softly, doesn't get affected by the spicy but cute Omega. It feels as if a cat is scratching him; painful but not too scary.
They fall asleep faster than expected. Sharing their body heat, the night feels warmer. Ezra somehow feels safe with Fa's presence. The same feeling when he first touched that Golden Alpha's hand. He slowly opens his eyes a bit. The strange feeling wakes him up, making his mind wander in the midst of the night.
Did I grow fond of him now?
