          When the next morning came around, Otabek really didn't want to leave his room. After what had happened with Yuri the previous night, he wasn't too sure if the male would remember it all or not. God, how he hoped not. Who knows how embarrassed Yuri would feel if he remembered what had happened, and especially everything that Yuri had said to him, everything that he had begged him to do.

Shaking his head, Otabek slowly climbed out of his bed and looked over to his clock. 9:51 AM shined in bright red on the clock. He knew that he needed to go out there soon, everyone else would be getting up and if he wasn't out there, they might start to investigate or something. So, he forced himself over to his dresser and grabbed some clothes from it. He then headed into the bathroom that was connected to his room and got ready. His mind was still stuck on Yuri the whole time, though. He wasn't sure if he should bring anything up in front of the male or not.

He let out a small, unhappy sigh and finished up getting ready. When he was done, he stepped out of the bathroom and put his now dirty clothes into the laundry basket met for them. He headed over to the door and walked out, looking up and down the hallway a little bit. Maybe he was overreacting on this. Nothing happened, it wasn't like they fucked or anything. He needed to calm down and go check on Yuri to see how he's doing.

Turning in the direction of the room that Yuri was in, Otabek started down the hallway, only stopping when he was standing outside Yuri's door. He took in one last deep breath before bringing his hand up and knocking on the door. "Yuri? Is it alright if I come in?" He called out to him in a gentle voice.

For a moment, there was nothing but silence from on the other side of the door until finally he heard a small voice call back to him. "C-Come in....."

Otabek opened the door and looked inside to find Yuri wrapped tightly under the blankets, his eyes closed tightly. The smell that he had smelled last night was nowhere near as strong as it was last night, making it much easier for Otabek to walked into the room and over to where Yuri laid.

"Hey.... how are you doing..?" Otabek asked him softly as he knelt down by the side of the bed and looked at the curled up omega.

"I-I feel all weird and everything... I don't know what's happening....." Yuri said back to him as he opened his eyes.

Otabek frowned a little bit. "You went into heat, Yuri."

"I did....?" Yuri said slowly, confused. "But.... I don't get it.... I wasn't supposed to go into heat for at lease another month or so.... I don't get why I would start to early....."

Otabek chewed on his lip a little bit as he listened to Yuri speak. He knew one way that an omega would start their heat earlier, but he couldn't possibly be right, could he? Well, he might as well tell Yuri his thought. Just in case that he was right. "Yuri... meeting your mate can sometimes trigger your heat to come early....." He said softly to him.

Yuri stared at him, his mouth hanging open a little bit before closing it and shaking his head. "That m-may be..... but I haven't met my mate, so I know that's not the case." he said to him.

Otabek frowned at that. "How do you know that you haven't, yet?" He asked him.

"Because everyone that I've met either already have mates, or are way out of my league." Yuri answered.

Otabek rolled his eyes when he heard the second part. "When it comes to mates, leagues doesn't exist, Yuri. So don't even say that. Besides, have you seen yourself? Any alpha would be lucky to have you."

Yuri's face reddened a little bit, and not just from his heat. "Yeah, sure.... dirty.... small.... homeless....." He said, whispering the words so Otabek didn't hear him as he looked away. However, Otabek still heard them, and especially the last one.

"Did you just say homeless????" Otabek said, his eyes widening a little bit.

Yuri didn't bother to try and hide it, he knew that it was going to come out at some point. Slowly, he nodded his head. "Yeah.... homeless...."

"Why? What happened to your parents? You shouldn't be living on the streets! You're too young and that's dangerous!" Otabek said to him.

"I-It's not like I h-have a choice! My m-mom kicked me out wh-when she found out th-th-that I'm an omega!" Yuri said to him, his voice raising a little bit.

Otabek shook his head in disgust when he heard that. "Unbelievable. I can't stand people like that. Some alphas are just disgustingly cruel. Why didn't you tell me sooner, though....? I could have helped you out, you know."

"Because it's embarrassing and I didn't want to burden you with my problems..... I was going to tell these two guys I know, but I didn't even want to drag them into it.... It's my problem, not your guys's. You shouldn't be worrying about me......" Yuri explained to him.

"I don't care about that, Yuri. You can't be living out on the streets like that, it's dangerous. What if you hadn't spent the night here and you had left? Then your heat would have hit while you're out there and any alpha would have been more than happy to claim you as their bitch." Otabek said to him.

Yuri didn't say anything as he laid there.

"Why don't you live here with me and my pack? It'll be so much safer and you'll have so much to do. You can even meet some of the omega's and maybe befriend them." Otabek offered. "And you can even invite the two guys that you were talking about before over, if you want. I just want you to be safe and protected, Yuri. I can keep you safe if you live here with me." He reached out and gently grabbed Yuri's face, turning him so he was looking at him.

Yuri took in a small breath as he stared at him, not sure what he should do. He wanted to agree so badly, the idea of being near Otabek all the time and knowing that he was going to protect him pulling him greatly in that direction. He knew that choosing to live here with everyone really would be the better choice instead of risking staying out on the streets with the other alphas who showed no mercy to their victims.

However, at the same time, Yuri was scared. What if something went wrong while living here? What if he did something that Otabek didn't like and he kicked him out? What if Otabek decided that Yuri really was too much of a burden and kicked him out? What if one day he snapped and did to Yuri what the alphas on the street would do to him? He had so much doubt in his mind, but the way that Otabek was staring at him with his soft eyes made Yuri realize that he was being dumb.

The alpha that was in front of him right now was nothing like the alphas that were out there on the streets.

The alpha in front of him wanted him to be safe.

The alpha in front of him cared about him.

The alpha in front of him wanted to do everything to protect him.

So, with a slow nod of the head, Yuri answered him. "Yes."
