[ It's a little weird to feel Elijah so affectionately against him. Not that the other has ever been downright mean to him - nothing Agreas would slot into that category, anyway - but he's still not the type to act like this. And it seems like his heat at least went away after what they did last time, so it can't even fully be his omega side acting up and deciding on what to do without the rest of Elijah's personality weighing in.
Which means all of this is just genuinely coming from him. That sort kiss, the way he clings to him in return, the way he buries himself against Agreas unlike anything Elijah has ever done before.
And more importantly.. there's those words. There's the other saying that he was already Agreas' before this. At least the implication of that does get through to the alpha - Elijah already liked him before this. He would already have been okay with this for a while, if not downright just wanted it. It makes Agreas wonder for a moment why Elijah didn't just say anything or ask all that time, since Agreas purposefully kept his distance in at least a romantic or sexual way because he didn't want to hurt Elijah's feelings - even though he felt the same thing, that his heart belonged to Elijah long before. He wouldn't have minded Elijah being his omega from the start, and if the other hadn't been so hurt by finding out he was an omega, he would have proposed it right from the moment they found out what they were.
But he already knows why he didn't say a thing. Because Elijah just isn't the type to say it to begin with. He's never been good with soft kind of words, so how could he ever say that he was his long ago? It feels like a small miracle that the other manages to force out those words right now, and Agreas does realise it just shows how hard the other is trying for him here.
It means the world to him.
He raises his face from the other's shoulder just enough so he can look at Elijah, fingers gently pressing on the side of the other's head and his chin so he can turn to him to face him. The stress from only a few moments ago seems to fade away completely as he brushes a little bit of hair out of the other's face. If it had been like this all this time, then it's a good thing last night happened - if not just so they could give in to the things they'd normally be able to do around each other. ]
Elijah... [ He practically breathes out the other's name before bringing his face close enough to the omega's to kiss him. It's different from last night when they were just running on instinct - this time it's slowly and softly more than the desperate, feverish hard kisses from last night.
Once he pulls away, he lets out a breath of relief. ]
I'm so happy to hear that.
[ And he does seem to mean it. It's not like Agreas is entirely unfriendly most of the time, but people tend to be intimidated because of his looks and the way his facial expression tends to seem apathic at best - his softer side just doesn't show easily to people who don't know him well.
But around Elijah like this.. it's drawn out almost naturally. Even though he doesn't fully realise it, he's just laughing like a goof right now, like he's stuck in a happy dream. ]
[Everything back when Elijah had found out he was an omega feels so...muddled. His own feelings towards Agreas, even...like he always knew how he really felt, but he held everything in check for a long while. It's strange to think about the way things could've gone if Elijah hadn't been an omega. And somehow...a little sadder to think about how things could've gone if it'd kept going the way they had been. Maybe he would've found some way to confess everything eventually, but...that's neither here nor there. If this is the outcome, then everything before now is worth it.
It's so...so relieving to know that...at least for right now, when it really does matter, he can at least do this much. He can at least make Agreas smile like that...and laugh like that...and say that he's happy. It feels like something in his heart is melting at the sight of it- to the point where it's almost too much. Like he's looking directly into some radiant ray of light. He has to look away again for a moment...but only for a moment- closing his eyes as a very small smile forms on his own face.]
Good...
[His voice is so soft- just barely above a whisper. He almost seems a little shy...or embarrassed even when he looks back at the alpha, which is a rare enough thing for him already. And then even moreso as he tilts his head to press a very small, gentle kiss onto the other's lips.
It doesn't matter that he's the omega, and Agreas is the alpha...because this side of Agreas has always been for him instead of anyone else. And that's exactly one of the reasons Elijah could always put his trust in him. He leans his head down again...resting it against the other's shoulder- closing his eyes, and letting himself relax just a little now that Agreas seems happy...]
That's all I want...
[Just...this. Making Agreas happy. The two of them laying here together- like they were always meant to. At least, that's how it feels now that they are here. As if there wasn't any other possible way it could've gone.
It's almost funny...no matter how much he hated being an omega before, for the first time in his life...he's actually grateful for it. If this is the way things end up for the two of them, he can be happy...Now, he can be Agreas's for the rest of his life...and know that Agreas would be his too. There's no going back...and Elijah would never want to anyway. He's never felt so relieved about anything before...like a weight's been lifted off his shoulders.]
[ It does feel like all of this was somehow meant to be. Even though Agreas freaked out over the idea of having mated Elijah at first, it was only just because he was afraid of hurting the other.. not because he disliked the thought of being mated to him to begin with. It's actually a nice thing, a good thing, and it only starts feeling that way more the longer he lies here next to the omega.
Maybe it's partially alpha instincts, but he likes lying here like this with Elijah so close to him. Feeling the other right there reassures him, like he knows that no one could try taking Elijah away from him or hurting him - even though it's not like something like that would happen inside the house to begin with. But it still makes him feel at peace, knowing that he can shield the other with his entire body like this. Elijah's more fragile omega body... his omega.
Agreas wraps his arms a little more around the other. If he didn't still feel a little exhausted from everything that happened in a haze of instinct last night, he would have scooped the other right up and carried him in his arms. Part of him just wants to show off to the whole world that Elijah is his now. Elijah who can be so adorably soft at times, incredibly rare times that he shows only to him... the thought that he's the only one getting to see this softness from the other makes his heart race a little in his chest. It feels so important. ]
When did you get so cute...? [ He doesn't say it too loudly, like even these words are just meant to be between the two of them. Agreas doesn't even mean it in a way to embarrass Elijah or anything.. it's just genuine. He's always thought Elijah had more of a cute side to him than most people would think, but it's like it's amplified right now, maybe a weird after-effect from mating only just before.
Agreas' hand moves over to lightly brush through Elijah's hair, moving it away from his forehead so he can lean over to plant a soft kiss there instead now. Right now he just wants to kiss him all over.. not hungrily, but just softly, like he's marking Elijah all over again in his own way. Like he wants to show Elijah just how appreciated he is, and just how much of a good alpha he plans on being for the other. So good that Elijah won't even have to think for a moment again how much he hated being an omega.
Even as he pulls away again, his hand is still moving comfortingly through the other's hair. ]
My cute omega...
[ It feels so nice to say that somehow. Like something soft and warm blossoming up inside of his chest. ]
[This is the first time he's really been fully willing to just...give in to his omega instincts and fully accept them. There was always a lot of resistance before...a lot of wondering if his instincts would make him do something he didn't actually want to do. But if there's anything Elijah can trust, it's that he wants Agreas...he wants to be his, and he's content to just give himself over to the other completely.
Even though it's still embarrassing to hear Agreas call him cute like that, Elijah doesn't even mind it all that much. Maybe because he knows all of this will just stay between the two of them...he doesn't have to worry about anyone other than his alpha seeing him like this. And he doesn't have to worry about anyone else laying a hand on him either.
The hand on his head feels so nice that he closes his eyes and leans into it a little- silently asking for a bit more of it. It's so, so comforting...]
Mmmm...
[It's just a soft mumble, but it's still him agreeing with the sentiment. In the same moment he buries his face against Agreas's neck- curling up against him a little more too.
Somehow, this is easier than he ever thought it'd be...just giving into his softer side a little. It's still impossible for someone like him to go into it full force, but...he still likes this. Admitting, even to himself, that he wants Agreas to hold him, to wrap around him protectively like that, to mark him up more...and even to show everyone else that he's his. The thought of it makes his chest feel so light that it feels like he's floating.
It's something he'd even be willing to do now. Just let Agreas carry him...let everyone know that, maybe he is an omega...but he's Agreas's omega. That's something he'd love for everyone on the street to see.]
[ All of this is so nice. It's like he can understand Elijah a little better too like this.. not that he didn't understand the other before, they had been around each other long enough that he knew better than most people what Elijah was like and the small details of his likes and dislikes and all.. but no matter how well you know each other, there's always some stuff that's hard to share as humans. Things you miss because the other keeps it just in thoughts, stuff like that. But there must be something about their connection now that makes it feel easier to understand the other, to look at Elijah's face and know what he wants right now.
Which is a good thing as far as Agreas is concerned. He's seen a lot of shitty alphas out there that just see their omegas as property, that treat them like their personal sex slaves or something - but he couldn't imagine ever feeling that way himself. He has his alpha instincts, of course, but they've never turned cruel before. Even now it just makes him feel like wanting to pamper his own personal omega, making sure that Elijah knows he can get absolutely anything he wants from his alpha. He wants to make the other happy and satisfied more than anything in return for the way Elijah's very presence this close to him fills him with a warm feeling.
He knows the way the other leans into his hand is a sign he wants more, and so he doesn't stop. Agreas' hand keeps moving through his omega's hair, the corners of his lips tugging up into a smile instinctively at the realisation that Elijah - Elijah of all people - isn't denying that he's being really cute right now. A side to the usually more grumpy and distant guy that's all Agreas'. As an alpha, not having to share that is the most attractive thought possible.
After a moment he shifts a bit, just enough that his head can reach a little lower, his lips planting kisses onto Elijah's chest. It's not too bad to indulge in this a little now they've only just mated, right...? It's a good way to see what Elijah likes as well, which spots are the most sensitive for him, in what ways Agreas can make him feel good.
Some of the kisses are a little harder than others, leaving trails of small red marks on the other's chest. Ones that are easily hidden, it's not exactly like Elijah shares Agreas' own shirtless habits. It's really tempting to go a little higher, to kiss Elijah's neck and show the world - but he's holding back for now. Even though he trusts the other's words fully about being fine with belonging to Agreas and all, he still doesn't want to push it to lengths that Elijah is uncomfortable with... it's the one thing he could never forgive himself for, especially since things seem so good right now. ]
