“Come here,” Wayden told Blaine.

“What? Why?” Blaine said staring at him.

“Okay, I’ll come to you,” he said getting up. He rounded the counter and pulled Blaine into his arms. “I didn’t tell you I love you for you to act funny.”

“I’m not acting funny,” Blaine grumbled, but he wrapped his arms around Wayden. “I’m scared. I don’t know if I can trust you.”

“What?” Wayden pulled back to stare at Blaine.

“It’s not you. It’s the way I am. It’s hard for me to trust alphas. I don’t know if I can put myself in a position where I’ll be vulnerable. It’s not even about you its…” Tears filled Blaine’s eyes. Blaine tried to blink them away, but they spilled over, rolling down his cheeks.

“Shhh… it’s okay.” Wayden pulled Blaine back into his arms and held him tight. Had some alpha hurt him?

No. Please, no. Wayden’s arms tightened around Blaine. He wished he could take the pain of whatever had happened to him away. Wayden’s heart broke as Blaine cried harder. The whimpering sounds ripped Wayden’s heart to shreds, leaving him feeling helpless and a little guilty for treating Blaine the way he had when they’d first met. He should have known that Blaine’s hostility wasn’t unfounded. Wayden knew there were cruel alphas out there. A lot of omegas suffered because of them. Wayden rubbed his hands down Blaine’s back, trying his best to give him the comfort he needed.

After a while, Blaine stopped crying. The omega leaned his head on Wayden’s shoulder, his body limp. Wayden picked him up.

“What are you doing?” Blaine asked tiredly.

“Taking you to bed. You’ve cried yourself out.” Wayden walked into his room and placed Blaine on his feet. He turned to the bed and pulled the covers open for him. “Lie down.”

“Thank you,” Blaine said as he lay down. He looked up at Wayden shyly. “Sorry about that. I don’t know what came over me. I’ve never cried like that.”

“You don’t have to apologise. Get some rest,” Wayden said. He turned to the door to walk out of the room but stopped when Blaine spoke.

“Stay with me,” Blaine said softly. Wayden got under the covers and pulled Blaine into his arms. Blaine sighed as he buried his face into Wayden’s chest. “Give me time, please… please.”

A lump formed in Wayden’s throat as emotions overwhelmed him.

“I’ll do more than that, baby. I’ll earn your trust. I’ll be the alpha you need. Just promise me one thing,” Wayden said.

“What?”

“When you figure out your feelings and realise that you don’t love me, let me down gently. Remember that I have a heart too, and it breaks just the same as yours. Remember that I swore that I would never fall in love or let myself be vulnerable again, but I’m opening myself to you because I want you. I want to be with you, even if my heart breaks. My love for you is bigger than my fear and my past pain.”

“Okay,” Blaine said.

“Okay. Now go to sleep. Everything will seem better once you get some rest,” Wayden said. Blaine sighed, burrowing into him. For someone who didn’t trust him, Blaine was comfortable enough with him to sleep in his arms.

That had to be a good sign, right? Blaine wouldn’t seek comfort from him if he didn’t trust him just a little bit.

Wayden hoped it was a good sign. They could be amazing together. He vowed that he was going to show Blaine just how much. And in the coming days Wayden did just that. Their trip home turned into a romantic getaway that Wayden wished would never end. They stopped at all the sights Blaine found along the way. They walked hand in hand on purple sand, climbed the tallest hill, watched shooting stars streak the night sky, kissed under the twin moons, made love for hours, until all Wayden could hear were Blaine’s moans of pleasure.

Every day was an adventure. Wayden couldn’t get enough of Blaine’s beautiful smiles, excited screams and thirst for knowledge. The omega’s excitement was contagious. Wayden found himself smiling for no reason, and he felt like a young alpha on his first crush. He followed Blaine everywhere. He was enchanted, taken… totally obsessed with Blaine. Wayden had never thought he would fall in love like this. Never.

“This is beautiful,” Blaine exclaimed as he looked up at him.

“Yes, it is,” Wayden said, the field of wildflowers forgotten. Wayden pulled Blaine close and slammed their lips together. Blaine moaned into his mouth, clinging to him as if he would never let go. Wayden cherished these moments when Blaine’s emotions slipped through, when he didn’t hide behind his fear, and he just let himself be. The moments gave Wayden hope and encouraged him to do more, to love Blaine even more. He kissed Blaine harder and deeper, claiming him the only way he could - with a kiss. Blaine leaned into him for a second, giving himself to the kiss before he wiggled away.

“We only have a few minutes here and I want to explore,” Blaine said, turning to the field.

“Go,” Wayden told him. “You can take as much time as you need. I’m not in a hurry to get home.”

Blaine gave him a strange look again, before walking away. He’d been giving Wayden that strange look whenever Wayden told him he wasn’t in a hurry to get home. Which Wayden wasn’t.

“Go,” Wayden repeated, not ready to explain to Blaine how he felt about going home to see his brother.

Blaine nodded and walked to the field. He moved around the field, picking flowers like an excited cub on his first outing. Blaine looked so happy and carefree that Wayden wanted to watch him. Wayden spotted a boulder a few paces away. He walked to it, sat down, and leaned his back on it so he could comfortably watch Blaine as he moved from one flower to another – inspecting each one with enthusiasm and interest.
