52 - Jealousy (1)

"I understand. I will help you get your revenge, Mave. I won't let those disgusting pigs ruin you until the end." Fyre said softly while holding Maverick's hand. He had a serious expression on his face that showed that he was truly willing to help despite Maverick being the subject of his insecurities for many years. He put all that aside, and just like Tian Zi, he was surprised that Maverick was such an amazing and admirable person. He'd had all these encumbrances weighing on his back, but he'd remained strong and brave enough to continue on with his life... unlike him who had almost given up, thinking that it was hopeless for him since he was an Omega. He'd shut himself off and prevented people from getting close to him.

Even now, even though he had a lot of friends, he still tried to distance himself a little... afraid that one day he would get betrayed even though he knew full well that wouldn't happen.

"Thank you, Fyre. I would really appreciate it. I know things haven't been great between us, but I truly hope that you become my friend." Maverick said softly, trying to prevent himself from crying. But it was useless because the stubborn liquid still managed to slip out, which he quickly wiped. Seeing this, Fyre pulled Maverick into a hug.

"What are you talking about? Aren't we friends already? And since you're my friend, I will do my best to help you in the best way that I can..." Fyre promised, giving a gentle smile.

"You're not alone, Maverick. Fyre and I will definitely help you." Tian Zi, who had been listening to the two all this time, said as well before he patted Maverick's head causing the Omega to feel so special. He'd never had friends before. Although Tian Zi was an acquaintance, he was someone he thought he'd needed to avoid, while Fyre... well, he'd thought that the Omega hated him. But now, they were actually the ones that were ready to help him, despite how awkwardly their relationship had started.

Maverick had cried so much already last night during his confession to Tian Zi but right now, he couldn't help but cry again. Back then he didn't like crying because it felt like his heart was being squeezed and it was painful, but right now it felt like it was the one thing he needed. He still hated crying but unlike before where it was painful, now it was a little comforting.

"Where are you going?" Tian Zi asked, grabbing on Fyre's arm. They had just sent Maverick into his room so that he could rest a little bit more before he faced his brothers, but seeing that Fyre was leaving already after that, Tian Zi was confused and couldn't help but stop the Omega. Although Fyre did say that he was going to be quick with his visit, he expected he would think otherwise after listening to Maverick's dilemma.

"I'm leaving. Didn't I tell you that I have to attend an event later and that a friend will come and get me soon? I promise, tomorrow I'll help. For now just handle the situation and make sure you take good care of Mave before Quinn and Ash arrive..." Fyre replied with a little frown on his forehead. He thought the Alpha had understood what he said earlier when he agreed to visit.

"Well, yeah, I'll handle it... but can't you just cancel that? This is clearly more important..." Tian Zi suggested, sounding a little hesitant at the last sentence. Knowing that yesterday Fyre spent his time with a man he called his friend still bothered him, and he was positive that this same friend was the one who invited him to this event. It didn't sit well with him so he couldn't help but not want Fyre to go and instead be with him.

Fyre frowned deeper listening to Tian Zi as he tried to explain, thinking that the Alpha was being overly protective of him again like he had always been for the past years. "Tian Zi, I can't do that when I've already agreed to be his partner. If you're worried about me then don't be, my friend won't hurt me."
