Danger Zone - Chapter 252
Master Evon hears the doorbell ring first before loud hammering ensues. Begrudgingly the older male trudges over to open the door, half a mind to lash out at whoever is behind this midnight madness; if it’s that crotch-grabbing drunk again… he swears to the heavens—
But who or what stands right in front of him is a massively plump grape-human wrap around in a cloth as o well that only his eyes were visible through his thick framed glasses.
He wearing a frowny look that made the older man perks up and pulls him inside his home. The Omega stomps inside his father’s house as turns around, tears begin to fall from his eyes.
“DAAAADDDD!!! THAT STUPID ALPHAAAA! WAAAAAHHHH!!!”
Master Evon panics as he thinks what he should do to this stupid Alpha who can’t even keep his promise now his son is crying over him. He tries to calm the Omega down but Aiden is crying endlessly.
“I WANT TO EAT NUGGETS BUT THAT STUPID ALPHA ISN’T THERE!!!!”
Master Evon stops panicking when he hears the reason as to why he is crying. He looks at his son with a dead panned expression as Aiden sniffles to his father’s night robe and blows some snots out.
“EAT NUGGETS WITH ME, DAD!”
Master Evon smiles at his son and looks at the clock above Aiden’s head before shaking his head. But instead of a slight pout or another tantrum, the Omega glares at him as he is about to pounce and kill his own father.
“Evon Elrich Matautia. You will eat nuggets with me or I will shove you down to the basement, tie you up and lock you until you say yes to everything I say.”
Aiden’s eyes narrow menacingly—ehem, cutely—as he threatens through clenched teeth. His father flinches back as he slowly nods and thinks as to what the Alpha did to make his son like this.
“My Alpha is the goodest Alpha, father. He will never hurt me or even teach me how to threaten a living human.”
So, it is the elder’s fault and not the Alpha? Master Evon gets it.

After discarding all his layers save for a white sweater, Aiden huddles on his father’s couch, swaddling himself with all his clothes and settles there for approximately 5 minutes before he throws his limbs up in frustration, causing the bundle of hoodies and sweaters to fly off him like it exploded.
Master Evon simply watches with rapt interest – ‘And here we see a typical pregnant male in his natural habitat. Careful not to be too loud, he startles and cries easily’ – says documentary-man-in-his-head.
The older Alpha blinks out of his reverie when he hears soft sniffles again. His son sits on the floor surrounded by his clothes as he cries softly and the Alpha’s heart hurts so he goes to sit beside his son, pulling him into a hug.
“There, there, my boy. It’s alright.”
“B-But my Alpha doesn’t love me anymoreee, father! He left me here all alone!”
One thing that Master Evon had learned all through his prime when Aiden was just a little tot is that the Omega tends to cry so easily when it comes to simple things.
“Don’t you dare to say that he does, father! He was the only person who used to buy me all of my cravings but now, where is he?
He is having a great time eating at a thai restaurant and he didn’t even invited me over because I hate mangoes and seafood?
What if he doesn’t want to share my nuggets anymore, father? What if he is with some pretty omegas at that restaurant? FATHEERRRR!!”
As much as the older Alpha wants to laugh at this bullshit in front of him right now, he can’t. A hormonal Aiden is not a fluffy Aiden. The Omega will scratch him to death and be distressed if he laughs at him.
He is about to rubs circle on his son’s back when the doorbell rings, and a voice from the McDonald’s delivery guy yells his order. Aiden squeals in joy and runs straight to the door with soft giggles and large smiles.
About seconds ago, he is on the verge of throwing a tantrum and now, he is excited to get the nuggets away from the delivery guy. A complete 360 degrees change in his attitude, the headmaster is still not used to it.
“MY NUGGETS!”
Aiden all but throws open the door, eyes sparkling like a cat on catnip, as he grabs the bag with a quick thank you to the cute, doe-eyed, bunny-teethed delivery boy before shutting the door abruptly in said boy’s face.
At least the Omega still has the decency to place the bag on the table before digging in. They sit in silence as his father watches Aiden practically stuff his cheeks with fried chicken nuggets.
He takes a few for himself because why not? Aiden comes here to share so he’s not gonna deny his favorite person that experience. The Omega is stuffing more nuggets into his mouth when they both heard the doorbell rings again.
“WID YE OWDEW MOWE NUGGESH?!”
The Omega bounces to the door and flings it open, only to come across someone that was certainly not the McDonald Delivery guy. Food is still inside his mouth when he sees a light blond Alpha with light blue eyes and a soft expression on his face.
“Aiden…”
The familiar tone that the Omega loves to hear is in front of him right now. He feels a warm feeling by his chest as he gulps the nuggets that he has been munching since earlier.
The Omega chews and swallows before he pouts, even though his heart is pounding in his chest, it’s like all his organs are rebelling against him today at the unexpected visitor.
The Alpha holds up the pink heart-shaped post it that the brunette had left on the kitchen counter before raising an eyebrow quizzically. He turns back to the note and reads it aloud:
“I have gone to meet my maker. Alpha, don’t try to find me. It was fate that brought us together but also fate that made us drift apart.
I woke up cold in my bed with a nugget craving but no one to share it with. I think it’s time I find peace in the waiting arms of a McDonald’s meal.
I love you. But nuggets await me. I’m sorry, my love.
Loving you Always, your well-rounded Omega.”
Aiden bits on his lips as he shy away from the Alpha. His cheeks turns red as he sniffles at the sudden pressure that the Alpha is giving him.
“S-Stop staring like that to me! It was your fault because you are not there to fulfill my needs!”
The Alpha’s gaze softens before stepping through the door, wrapping his arms around his silly mate as he looks at the expectant father, watching him closely behind the Omega.
“Darling, you could’ve just called me instead of bothering your father in the middle of the night.”
Aiden gnaws his lips as he pouts at the Alpha and stares at him under his lashes. What he did is truly embarrassing but he can’t help it. He wants the nuggets and his Alpha is not there to eat it with him, so it should understandable why he did that.
“Would you have come if I called you?”
The Alpha sighs softly as he nods his head. The Omega smiles and nuzzles into the Alpha’s neck, breathing his calming scent before mumbling some incoherent words but Drax understands them easily.
“Let’s go home, baby?”
The Omega nods in affirmative. Aiden gathers his bundle of clothes and the Alpha coos at the sight of his little grape-mate all wrap up in over-sized sweaters as he hugs his remaining box of nuggets, before leading his adorable mate to the door.
“Bye bye, father! The next time I visit you, I am already cradling a bundle of joy!”
Aiden grins behind the scarf, the smile only noticeable due to the way his eyes crinkle behind his specs.
“Sorry for the trouble, Headmaster Ev—”
“Call him father, love. He will be your father eventually.”
Drax stops from his farewell for the Headmaster of the Matautias and looks at his mate’s father as he clears his throat and tries again. Beside the eyes of his expectant small husband, the Alpha redo his farewell to Master Evon.
“Sorry for the trouble, F-Father. We will be on our way.”
Master Evon is taken a back by the sudden endearment coming from the Alpha and smiles awkwardly towards the couple.
“N-No problem, ma-my son. You, two will always be welcome at my home anytime. So long and take care.”
Drax bows his head as a sign of respect as Aiden waves good by to his father of how many years. Just as the door shuts behind the couple, Master Evon lets out an audible sigh.
“How the hell does that Alpha deal with that?! God, he’s so whipped!”
They’re finally back home after a long emotional night. Drax sneaks the little ‘love’ note into his personal cutie shoe box that he keeps hidden under the bed before joining his small mate in the kitchen.
He walks in to Aiden drowning his nugget in peanut butter but doesn’t question it. Instead, he steps closer to wrap his arms around the elder’s waist, kissing his temple gently.
“I love you, darling. I won’t do anything to hurt you.”
The Omega chuckles with his cheeks still puffed with nuggets and the Alpha thinks it’s the most adorable thing on the planet.
He wouldn’t give up his mate for anything in the world. Plus the fact that he’s going to have a child with this beautiful man has the Alpha practically skipping with joy everyday despite the horrible mood swings he’s subjected to.
He finds it more amusing than annoying even though it sometimes sends him into a panic. They adjourn to their bed after Aiden finishes the last of his nuggets, choosing to dip them in mayonnaise and nutella, slipping under the covers together and entangling their legs.
Drax feels the love of his life relax even more in his arms, soft sounds of breathing to indicate that the younger had already drifted off to sleep.
He must’ve been tired after such an emotionally draining night. Looking back, the Alpha can’t help but think he’s the luckiest man alive with a mate like Aiden, and that’s the last thought he has before he, too, lets sleep overcome him.
The Alpha pulls his mate closer by the waist and he hears the Omega hums against his chest, content and blissful. Slipping into the abyss of a good night sleep.
