Of course the victory would be celebrated in the restaurant where Jake works, all the Rapoxia team was there having fun with each other in a party atmosphere until dusk.
However, Jake had other plans for that night.
After having eaten and had a little fun with the others, Jake took the car keys and took Nathaniel to his apartment. The two were still talking about the match, in a nice and relaxing atmosphere.
In fact, the alpha was enjoying that unprecedented moment.
— I didn't know you were once a captain of Rapoxia. I'm surprised.
— Ah, when I joined the team everything was very messy, the guys played well, but because they did not win any game they did not seem motivated. So me and Matheus did a makeover on the team.
— A retirement that put you as captain — Nathaniel said excited.
His omega's eyes shone brightly in admiration, and Jake blushed not knowing how to answer that. It was so good and nice to feel the admiration of your boyfriend, but at the same time he was embarrassed by not knowing what to say or what to do. And his lack of response seemed to make Nathaniel even happier.
Even when they arrived at Jake's apartment and the two went to the alpha's room, there was still that fun to see someone like the alpha all blushed and embarrassed for receiving some praise and admiration from his boyfriend.
The two boys enjoyed the night sitting in Jake's bed continuing to talk. Now it was just them, without the noise of the other boys from Rapoxia and not a noisy environment. The world was theirs and that mattered to both.
Passing his arm around Nathanie's shoulders, Jake smiled and hugged him.
— I'm glad you enjoyed watching me play, and happy for our win.
Nathaniel tilted his head and raised his eyes to Jake. A look bordering on innocence, as if it were something so natural and obvious to him.
— It was fun and you are my alpha, so of course I will be happy for you.
Jake blinked a few times and hugged Nathaniel tight feeling his heart explode inside the chest.
— You are all a low blow, Nath.
The omega arched his eyebrow, but hugged the back of the alpha and looked at him from a corner.
— What did I do now?
— You're making me happy.
— Is that a problem?
— Makes me want to do beautiful and indecent things with you.
Nathaniel grimaced and pulled Jake's ear.
— Don't spoil the moment with your naughtiness, Jake.
Jake madepounted by raising his eyes clear to his boyfriend. Supporting his chin on his chest, the alpha looked like a sad child for having been scolded.
— I'm not being naughty, I am being sincere about my desire to have you all to myself. Don't you think that would improve the moment? Besides, I did well today, so I have the right to be pampered by it.
— You have the right? I don't remember promising anything.
Jake keep pounting, and the omega only narrowed his eyes reluctant to fall that blow. Although it wouldn't make much difference, in the end Jake would get what he wanted.
And to secure his prize, the alpha stole a quick kiss from the omega, which looked surprised.
— Hehe.
— You are shameless.
— Why should I be ashamed to kiss you? — Jake smiled, leaning slowly to kiss Nathaniel again, this time so slow only to tease his boyfriend.
When his lips met, a tender and calm kiss was exchanged. Jake just wanted to enjoy his moment with Nathaniel, and his lips were part of that package. Feel their tongues curling in their mouths, feel the kiss getting wet and hot despite keeping the slow pace to enjoy more the moment together of each other.
Jake stroked the omega ear, entwining his fingers in his reddish-brown hair and hearing Nathaniel sigh in his mouth. The caress he left certainly chills the omega, making such a result something good.
The room was filled with the sound of that kiss. Nathaniel's breath became heavier and deeper as he was enveloped by Jake's caress. That shameless alpha knew very well how to kiss his omega, and leave him lost in sensations.
When they ended the kiss, Jake appreciated Nathaniel's expression and the blush on his cheeks. And as he always did, the alpha kissed the scar on the face of the omega with tenderness. And Nathaniel's response was always to shudder as if he felt ticklish.
— Jake...
— What is it?
— Will you always kiss my scars like that?
The alpha lean back long enough to look at Nathaniel, and then he thought for a moment.
— Hm... I will. I'll lick them, kiss them... Why?
Nathaniel blushed and looked away, covering his face with his hand.
— It's just that it's weird.
Jake sighed and kissed the hand that Nathaniel used to cover his face. Gaining attention back, he smiled tenderly.
— You remember our song, don't you?
— Our song?
The alpha's hand held gently the hand that covered Nathaniel's face, and entwined his fingers as Jake began to sing softly.
— Save your smile just for me. I give you the universe in you look — Jake lowered Nathaniel's hand, and when the scars are no longer hidden, the alpha smiled touching them with his free hand — If feel on the skin a shiver, are my fingers touching you, to tell you...
He knew that Nathaniel remembered that song, and it became even clearer when the omega ears turned red. And indeed his skin was shivered at the subtle and gentle touch of Jake.
Surely Nathaniel did not like his scars, and tried to hide them not only from the world, but from himself. That day, Jake knew because of the bite that his omega was jealous when he met his ex-boyfriend, and that he was even more attached to the mask.
The answer was so obvious.
The scar was indeed hideous. Even if Nathaniel was not smiling, those two cuts that sprang from every corner of his lips made it seem like the omega had a weak and manic smile, similar to the Batman's villain. In addition, it was a seam that gave cold in the belly if you stared for too long.
It was understandable that the scar was a nuisance.
Still, to Jake, Nathaniel was the most beautiful person in the world.
His chest was filled with that feeling. His heart beat rhythmically and his body warmed up. Jake could cry out of love at that moment. The feeling only grew as he watched his omega and touched his scar.
Nathaniel looked at him again, as if he knew exactly what Jake felt. Maybe he really knew because of the bite. But Jake also did not hide the feelings of his face.
— Jake... — The alpha smiled, touching his forehead and closing his eyes. The omega whispered — Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve you.
— It's not a question of merits — Jake reciprocated the whisper, opening his blue eyes to the omega and smiling wide — I'm just your destiny.
Nathaniel seemed surprised at first, but then let out a low laugh. A laugh that sounded like music to Jake's ears. That boy who used to be serious, scary for others, and usually emotionally distant was slowly opening up to himself. He smiled that way, laughed, blushed and loved.
Jake could only thank the saint who united their two fates.
For he was madly in love with Nathaniel.
Nathaniel leaned over and kissed Jake tenderly. Those two were trapped in a world where only they existed. And that was good, taking into account that the following weekend, their lives could change when the tribute to Ares story aired.
On Sunday, Jake held Nathaniel's hand and glanced at Arabella. His mother-in-law looked at him and nodded with her head looking nervous. The alpha turned to Guilherme and also nodded, and so the beta turned on the television putting in Globo channel. The program had already begun, and at any moment would begin the great story of the night.
The homage to Ares.
Everyone was nervous and tense, after the interview that Nathaniel gave would be published and everyone will find out the truth about him and Ares. But despite all this, when looked at him, Nathaniel was expressionless and calm. His hand was not cold and did not sweat, and he just sat on the couch watching the show as if it were a normal day.
In compensation, Jake would even tremble.
— Calm down — Nathaniel whispered — Or you'll get a boner.
— It's easy say, dear. — Complained the alpha laying his head on his shoulder.
— I hope it doesn't make everything worse — Arabella said, being comforted by her husband.
— Everything will be fine.
And then... it started.
"- On this day he would complete twenty years of career. And although no longer present, his name is still remembered. The one who was admired by fans and rivals for his sportsmanship and his grit, and as a target of tragedy. Today we will know more about who was the boxing fighter, Ares".
