Sonne

Spending the day thinking about his ex crush from five years ago who messed with him was what Sonne least wanted in life, but for some reason Mond kept invading his thoughts and he was no longer able to concentrate properly on things, he had already burned out the food he heated in the microwave, because he heated it for too long, he threw almost all his shampoo away while thinking in the shower and ended up not even washing his hair, he couldn't sing without thinking about that alpha and the reason he left.

It was an extremely painful time, he suffered for so many different reasons, but Faux was there, always there for him and Sonne was very grateful for that. Despite being a beta and not understanding much about pheromones, he did everything he could to help the omega, even when Sonne had a heavy crisis that triggered an extensive heat lasting almost fifteen days, the person who was there was Faux.

It was really very funny the way they met Faux was alone in the room when Sonne arrived, they sat close to each other, but not close enough to talk, soon after a young man with silver hair and glasses sat close to Faux and for some reason the beta started chattering. The teacher of that subject had a reputation for being very strict, despite it being an elective subject, there were a lot of rumors about him and Faux started telling absolutely all of them while the young man listened attentively and asked if it was all true and Faux vehemently affirmed. It turns out that the platinum haired man  was Professor Lehrer, he was in fact young and looked even younger. Faux didn't know what to do, he began to stutter and sweat nervously, that's when Sonne intervened, invented some doubt and caught the teacher's attention. After that, Lehrer always picked on the blonde, despite him being the best student in the class.

And who knew that the fact that Sonne signed up for an elective cooking class, just like Faux and they ended up in the same class, would lead to a relationship? Absolutely no one, even though Faux was always after Sonne, the omega treated him with indifference, he didn't treat him badly, but the lack of interest was noticeable.

Until that day... After Mond left, things got very turbulent and Sonne ended up at a certain point going into heat in a crowded bar where he lost consciousness, he never knew what happened, all he knew was that Faux found him passed out in the bathroom, he took care of him and always stayed by his side.

Faux was sitting on the couch and Sonne was lying with his legs on the beta while they watched some series that was on TV, but neither of them seemed to be paying attention.

“Sonne, why are you so distracted lately?” Faux asked worriedly  “You found out, didn’t you?”

“Huh?”  Sonne was confused “I found out what?”

“I'm sure you discovered it, that could only be why you are somewhere in the clouds, right?” said Faux, getting up and heading towards the bedroom.

Sonne followed him

“What are you talking about?”  Sonne asked anxiously.

“You wouldn't be thinking about that bastard, right?” said Faux in a tone of disgust.

“Well…”

“You've been like this for days and since I know you don't feel anything for him anymore, I'm sure you figured it out.” Faux took a small black velvet box from the closet and handed it to Sonne “I wanted to do this in a special way with dinner, music, candles and everything you're entitled to, but since you're so anxious I'll give it to you soon and then we'll celebrate, ok?”

Sonne spent a while looking at that little box in his hand, perplexed he opened and closed his mouth without being able to say anything.

“Aren't you going to open it?” asked Faux, approaching “Come on, babe, open up.”

Sonne opened it and found a beautiful white gold ring, a drop-shaped ruby sparkled along with the diamonds set around it, the omega took a step back and the ring fell to the floor.

“Did you not like it?” Faux asked, taking the ring.

“What is that?”

“A ring” Faux knelt down and took Sonne's hand “We are together taking care of each other, we live together and our affection only grows. I want to be with you for the rest of my life, Sonne, will you marry me?” Before Sonne even responded, Faux placed the ring on the omega's ring finger, who immediately pulled his hand away.

Sonne started to lose his breath, the room started to spin, he didn't understand why he felt this way, he loved Faux, didn't he? It was Faux who always helped him, it was Faux who always supported him, it was Faux who was always there for him, so why did he feel so bad now?

“Sonne? Are you okay? Come, sit here” Faux said, helping him sit on the bed.

Marriage and spending the rest of your life together were things that Sonne never imagined and never wanted to have with anyone and now that Faux talked about it, nervousness took over him, his chest sank and tightened as he imagined a whole life with Faux.

“I-I can't.” Sonne stammered.

“You can't? – Faux asked calmly.

“I can't live my whole life with you.” Sonne released desperately.

“Because of that bastard?” Roared Faux “ Do you still have feelings for him? Is that why you're confused?”

“No…”  Sonne began softly “Because I can't live in this prison that is being with you! I had to stay away from all my friends, even Lehrer who is also an omega. I stopped meeting a great investor because you convinced me that he seemed suspicious.... I stopped doing big shows and chasing my dreams” Sonne paused to wipe the tears that fell uncontrollably from her eyes “I stopped shining ! I am the Sun and I stopped shining just because you offered me comfort and help in my darkest moments, but do you know what happens to a star when it stops shining? It dies!” Sonne got up, took off the ring and threw it on the floor with force.

“I did everything to help you!” said Faux, holding Sonne’s arm “I always did everything for you, I would die for you! So don't tell me that I erased your shine!’

“But you erased it! Little by little I started leaving a little of myself behind and just doing what you wanted us to do. I don't have friends, I don't have a social life, I'm not like that!”

“So let's resolve this, let's have a party and call your friends and look for a manager…”

“Do you think my friends will come? Do you think that after all this time they still consider me a friend?”

“So they were never your friends to begin with, this shows that all you need is me.”

“No, Faux! You are everything I DON'T NEED!” said Sonne, letting Faux's hand go.

Faux grabbed both of Sonne's shoulders, threw him on the bed and kissed him, but Sonne quickly pushed him away.

“I fucking love you” shouted Faux “Is that what you needed to hear? I know I never said it, but I LOVE YOU! I can't live without you, you're all I have, my sun, my light, my air, please don't leave me…”

Sonne hugged Faux and they were both silent for a while, they both cried as they felt each other's bodies.

“This won't work, this isn't healthy…”

“Let's go to couples therapy, then. Let's resolve it, let's make our relationship healthy.” said Faux, sitting on the bed.

“I need to think..”.

“But you won't leave me, right?” said Faux, drying his tears and holding the omega's hands. “Let’s go to couples therapy and sort everything out, won’t we?”

Sonne snorted.

“I need some time alone, I'm going to sleep at my mother's house today.”

“Don't go... Please don't leave me…”

“I just need to think, okay?” said Sonne, placing Faux's hands on the beta's lap and getting up.

“OK…”

“Bye, good night…”

The bedroom door closed behind Sonne and Faux stood there looking at the ring thrown on the floor while tears insisted on flowing from his eyes.
