The sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city as Charlie and Babe return home after the intense day at the racing track. The air is thick with unspoken tension, and Charlie, unable to shake off his concern, decides it's time to confront Babe about what's truly going on.
As they step into their shared living space, Charlie takes a deep breath and turns to Babe. "We need to talk," he says, his voice carrying a mix of urgency and care.
Babe, still caught in the aftermath of the race and the confrontation, meets Charlie's gaze with a tired expression. "Can it wait, Charlie? I've had a long day."
"No, it can't wait," Charlie asserts, gently guiding Babe to sit with him. "I saw something today that I've never seen before. You didn't fight back, and that's not like you. What's going on, Babe? I need to know if you're really okay."
Babe sighs, the weight of the day's events evident in his eyes. "It's just a lot, Charlie. Between the racing, the team, and everything else, I feel like I'm losing control."
Charlie reaches for Babe's hand, offering a comforting squeeze. "You don't have to face everything alone. We're in this together Whatever's going on, I want to be there for you."
Babe looks at Charlie, a mix of vulnerability and gratitude in his eyes. And babe might have caught what's making Babe look so down. He had done a little research and found out that a pregnant Omega tends to be moody all the time and they need their alpha's pheromones to comfort them. So charlie moves closer and hugs babe catching him off guard " it's okay, I'm here. I know you didn't fight back because you don't want anything to happen to the baby I fully understand." He made sure to release his pheromones for babe to calm him down.Babe leans into Charlie's embrace, finding solace in the familiar alpha scent that surrounds him.
The next day, Babe heads to work. As he arrives, he's greeted by Way, a friend he's known since joining X-Hunter. The camaraderie they share has been a constant in Babe's life.
Way, noticing Babe's somewhat distant demeanor, decides to ask, "Hey, everything okay, Babe? You seemed a bit off yesterday."
Babe, not wanting to delve into the complexities of his personal life, immediately cuts him off with a forced smile. "Yeah, Way, it's all good. Just had a lot on my mind. Don't worry about it."
Way, sensing that Babe might not be entirely forthcoming, respects his friend's boundaries. "Alright, if you say so. Alan told me to keep an eye on you ."
Babe's eyes narrow for a moment, the mention of Alan's concern bringing a twinge of frustration. "I appreciate the concern, but really, I'm fine. Got to head to practice now. Catch you later, Way."
Without waiting for a response, Babe briskly heads to the practice area, leaving Way behind. As he immerses himself in the familiar routine of racing.
Even though Babe is so close to way, he still doesn't feel comfortable to share the news with him just yet. He knows the other guy has a little crush on him but he pretends not to know. He's seen how Way eyes all the alphas Babe beds, he's also noticed how he doesn't seem to like charlie. He even asked him if he'd grown feelings for the guy but he just said they are friends with benefits, he's helping charlie and Charlie is helping him. But now. Well.... it's different.
After practice Babe went to the grocery store because he had ran out of some essentials and he didn't want to Burden charlie with that. Just as he was about to step out of the store, his least favorite person was coming in. Winner.
"Well..who do we have here" he said while looking down at babe. "Look I don't have time for this so just...get out of my way" babe moved forward but the other human being moved to block him. If it were before babe could have already pushed his sorry ass and landed a couple of punches on his face. But right now he can't risk getting hurt. " ooh....is someone getting mad" winner mocked. "What do you want." Babe asked, he knew this this guy is going to give a crazy answer but it that made him back away then he'll just have to ask.
"You're boy" he even had the audacity to say that with a straight face.
"My what?" He maybe heard wrong.
"You heard me, your new boy." Babe couldn't do anything but just smile at his stupid face.
" Dream on" he placed the grocery bag in his left hand and used his right hand to work on winner's cheek. At least the punch was able to clear Babe's way.
"I need to take a nap" he yawned and walked away like nothing happened.
