Akira's POV
"Hi, welcome to- Tsukishima! Did you get my present last night??" I asked with a smile. Tsukishima nodded slightly, walking over to the counter.

"Yeah, I did.. Uh, thanks for it."

"You're welcome! It's the least I could do for you.. Are you alright? You look tired."

"Yeah, about that.. Um. Do.. do you have room for a roommate for a little while...?"

"Sure, of course I do. Is something the matter?"

"Well, I just. Yeah something is the matter."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Sorry, but.. Not really.. at least not right now."

"Alright.. well, during my break, I can take you back to my place and give you my spare key, okay??" Tsukishima nodding and just spending the next few hours in the shop. Quietly staring at the flowers or out the window. During my break, I quickly took the alpha home and rummaged around for the spare key I had. Once I found it, I gave it to him and hugged him goodbye since I had to go back to work.

Time skip, that evening
"Tsukishima, you hungry??"

"No." He said quietly, staring at the blank tv screen in front of him. I sighed, putting the pans I was getting out for dinner onto the stove top. I made my way over to the alpha, sitting on his lap and wrapping my arms around his neck. He just quietly turned his head while I took the opportunity and nuzzled my face into the crook of his neck that was now more exposed. I started to purr, letting out some relaxing pheromones.

"Are you sure you don't wanna talk about it?"

"No."

"Alright.. but I promise I'm here for you. After you've been there for me." I said, pulling away and cupping his cheeks, turning his head to face me. I gave him a little smiled, but my heart sank when he looked so sad. He averted his gaze, his normally calm looking face looking so depressed. I put a few kisses onto his cheek, smiling faintly when he gave in and wrapped his arms around me. I felt him bury his face into my shoulder.

I reached both arms around him, soothingly rubbing his back and putting gentle kisses onto his neck. I know he felt sad, but a part of me was happy. After all, it was an omega's job to comfort and love their alpha. Of course I didn't want Tsukishima to be sad, but I was happy I got to do my job. I wanted to be the one to comfort this alpha, make sure he felt loved and never needing for anything. Obviously, whoever the other omega was that was hanging around him wasn't doing their job right. Or at all for that matter I bet.

We sat together for a long time, Tsukishima starting to look tired. I smiled faintly, pulling away a little bit and gently tilting his chin up to look at me. He looked at me quietly, staying still when I pressed a comforting kiss to his lips.

"Come on.. you need to rest." I said, climbing off his lap and grabbing his hand. I led him to my room, giving him some clothes to wear for the night, leaving him to change and settle in. Since Tsukishima wasn't hungry, I put away the pots and pans and just grabbed a snack from the fridge and ate it before returning to the bedroom. The poor alpha was already asleep, curled up underneath the blankets. I smiled slightly, changing quickly and joining him in bed.

I do wonder what happened, but I didn't want to push him to tell me. So instead I just carefully took his glasses off again and set them onto the nightstand before closing my eyes and drifting off next to the alpha.

The next morning
Something heavy was on me.. I opened my eyes, squinting to avoid the light that streamed through the window overtop my bed. Ah, it was Tsukishima. I smiled sleepily, considering just going back to sleep, but I really should have some breakfast waiting for him once he got up. It was hard, but I managed to wiggle my way out from his grip. In the kitchen, I mixed together some pancake batter and got to work cooking.

Not to long after the pancakes were done, Tsukishima quietly walked in. I smiled brightly at him before looking back down at the cutting board where I had a bunch of freshly washed strawberries.

"Good morning! Hungry?"

"Hey.. No, not really. But, thank you."

"C'mon, I know you're upset.. But you gotta eat something." I said, quickly finishing up slicing the strawberries and sliding them onto a plate. Tsukishima took a seat at the small table while I placed down the plates. He just poked at the food, barely eating any. I set down a glass of milk in front of him, sighing gently.

"Hey, Akira. Really, thanks but, I'm not hungry." He said, starting to get up. I watched as he mumbled he was going to change back into his clothes from yesterday that I had tossed into the laundry. Before he could leave, I got up and rushed to his side. Grabbing his arm, I rested my cheek against his tricep. He looked down at me with a small sigh.

"I need to change and head to work. And get a few new shirts and stuff for work.."

"Why don't you go ahead and change and go to work, I can go to the store for you!" I offered, Tsukishima shrugging slightly and saying an okay. He told me his clothing sizes and pulled his arm away, walking off to the laundry room to change. I ate a bit of breakfast, popping up when Tsukishima walked to the door and said he was leaving. I rushed to his side, putting a kiss to his cheek and saying gently.

"Alright. You have a good day. And if you need anything, just text me okay? I'll be home for you when you get back." I said, Tsukishima saying an alright before leaving. After the door shut, I made sure the door was locked before resuming breakfast. After I was done eating, I sighed at the leftovers and just tossed them since pancakes weren't the greatest cold and old. I cleaned up the kitchen and the rest of the apartment, making sure it'd be perfectly clean for when the alpha would come home. Once everything was cleaned to my satisfaction, I got changed so I could go out to the store.

"Alright. Time to be the best omega he's ever had!"
