Icarus Rose [TRANSLATION]

Chapter Thirty Eight

One more day in Icarus Rose, a week had already passed since Harry's birthday, and Shawn felt that the hours were passing faster and faster. He kept sleeping with Niall, and let's not misunderstand the situation, the alpha was very good at what he did, and Shawn could only describe those encounters as the best orgasms of his life, but there was something else starting there, and he didn't like it.

The courtship should continue as normal, and something in his chest would grow a little more every time he saw a new bouquet of flowers in his room with a note from the alpha, and he would get more and more nervous when he spent time with the blonde, even after from their encounters Niall had decided to start sleeping with him, even though they had agreed it was just sex, and he definitely didn't like these new feelings in his chest.

Like that night, after having received a knot for the third time in less than twenty-four hours, Niall settled under the covers, while Shawn stared at the ceiling, thoughtful.

"What is it that you are thinking so much about, pretty boy?" And there it was, that new nickname that the alpha had adopted and that might have made the omega's heart pump harder, but he would never admit it, Shawn rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Nothing that concerns you." He replied curtly and Niall looked at him confused.

"You know that if you don't feel good about something you can tell me, right? This isn't about getting married and never talking to each other, Shawn, we have to communicate if we want to make this work."

"Why don't you mind your own business, Niall? We're just sleeping together, we're not a couple, god." He said a little tired.

"Well, sorry, I was just a little worried, but if you don't want to talk about it right now, it's fine, good night." The alpha murmured and settled on the bed, putting his arm around the omega's waist, who immediately took off.

"Dammit, Niall, I don't want you to hug me! I don't want us to sleep together after having sex! You do not understand? We're not a real couple that hugs and cuddles, that's enough." Shawn claimed, but he immediately regretted it thanks to that sad look that the alpha gave him, even so he wasn't going to retract it. "Get out of my room, I want to be alone."

"But..."

"Go away, Niall, don't you understand?" He got up and began to pick up the alpha's clothes one by one, to finally throw them in his face. "GO!"

The alpha looked at him sadly, waiting for some sign from the omega so that he wouldn't leave and talk about things, but not seeing any, he quickly dressed and left the room, his expression had hardened, if the omega didn't want to live with him, why insist? He liked him and it was no secret, yes, but he wasn't going to insist on staying where they didn't want him either.

He left the room slamming the door, and instead of going to his own room, he decided to walk to his office, he had work to do and his dream was completely gone.

Meanwhile, Shawn threw himself on his bed and began to sob softly, what was happening to him? Why was it so difficult for him to push the alpha away? He needed a breath, he was feeling overwhelmed, and having those blue eyes and that smile around him didn't help clear his mind. He dressed in his pyjamas and left the room, he needed to talk to Harry, he could help clear his thoughts even a little.

Once he arrived at the curly man's room, he knocked three times, and a sleepy omega opened the door with a frown, but when he saw the boy with teary eyes standing in front of the door, he softened his features and went out carefully not to make a sound. He didn't want to wake up his alpha.

"Shawn, what are you doing here? It's two in the morning, you should be asleep by now, were you crying?" Harry muttered, looking closely at the younger omega.
