Love Again

26. You Never Asked

"I'm loosing control Elric, slowly becoming like you. Usually, your dick is your compass  navigating you to anyone it itches for and now thats me, panting after Yeon who's become embedded in my thoughts day in day out."

"Well this is what you get for having a fuckboy for a friend."

"A decision I regret to date." 

The two were driving to Stan's parents house. Stan had called Elric earlier looking for Yeon whom had managed to sneak out of his place that when he'd woken up,  Stan had found himself alone in his apartment.

"I can't believe you two didn't have sex that day."

"I promised myself to have it when he wasn't in heat... I want him to remember me Elric."

"He only needs to remember your dick you stupid ass. If you're not going to do it, I'll be happy to help out."

Sighing aloud, Stan looked at his best friend and wondered why he'd accepted for him to tag along with him during his trip. Elric was exhausting to be around. "Just pay attention to the road and stop thinking about what's not yours."

Folding his hands across his chest, Stan stared ahead. The situation with Yeon had greatly caused him concussion. Perhaps Yeon really was afraid of him to have stayed hidden. Closing his eyes, he recalled the dream he'd had repetitively of him. 

Yeon had rejected to pair up with him so he'd confessed being fated to each other.

"If we complete your marking, you won't have to hide your scent anymore since our scents will be neutralized with each other and I would also be able to control mine with yours. What do you have to loose when I already like you?"

"If it weren't for us being fated, would you have looked my way?"

Stan remembered Yeon's words clearly and even in his conscious state, he still couldn't bring himself to answer that question. It had been satisfying watching Yeon when he wasn't aware, discovering his interests and his relaxed personality off campus. Stan was convinced he wanted to be around him, spend time with him, share in his hobbies even if he himself didn't enjoy them at all. All that mattered was to see Yeon smile one more time without  being nervous about going into heat.

By now, Stan had learned to regulate releasing his scent without provoking Yeon much. The moment he'd had fallen asleep on his chest, Stan had hated himself for pushing him too hard, not understanding how difficult of a time Yeon was having and him being his fated mate should hold himself accountable for making Yeon reactive. Come to think of it, Yeon had gone into heat whenever they were together, three times to be exact. Maybe thats why he felt Stan was only attracted to him just because they were fated....or it could be just Stan's fears since Yeon seems still unaware of Stan's ability to manipulate scents.

"Mijin...does she know about Yeon and I being fated?" Stan broke the silence after a while.

"How could I dissuade her from the obvious truth. Besides, she is as smart as her brother. Did you know she is an aeronautical engineer?"

"You two must have really discussed a lot about each other Elric, to think you also knew she had a boyfriend and still played around."

"I'm not a romantic like you Stan. I'm more realistic, acting no instinct. Mijin is an amazing woman, I'd have probably dated her if she wasn't with that needy boyfriend of hers."

"Stop spouting nonsense ..."

"Yea, you're right. If she wasn't repulsed by my scent, I'd have paired up with her once I was done having my fun..." Elric added while laughing at his statement. "...seriously though, she is really hot."
