"You okay? What's he doing to you?"
GrantUpdates
There is light whimpering
"Hey! Back off!" charges towards the father
GrantUpdates
WHAT IS IT?! he seems annoyed about something
"Omega? Are you hurt?" looks down at GrantUpdates
GrantUpdates
It’s nothing! You’re annoying…
"If you're sure..." looks up at the father "I'll leave you two alone." turns to walk away
GrantUpdates
nods
hesitates, then sighs "Fine, one question. What's your name?"
GrantUpdates
Grant.
"Grant, huh? Well, Grant, I am not leaving this Omega in harm's way. So, listen up - if he wants my protection, he needs to be mine. Do we have an understanding?"
GrantUpdates
?-…Wait what!? What do you mean!
"What I mean is, if you want my protection, then you're going to have to become my mate. I won't let anyone hurt you again. But if you don't want my protection, then I'll leave you alone. It's up to you."
GrantUpdates
…Mate…?
"Yes, mate. A bond between two people who care deeply for each other. But, if you don't want that kind of commitment, I won't force you into it."
GrantUpdates
I mean, I kinda always wanted one…. But why do YOU want me..?
"Grant, you've been through so much pain and suffering, and it breaks my heart to see that. That's why I want to protect you, because I care about you. I want to give you the love and safety that you deserve."
GrantUpdates
blushes That’s kinda sweet..
"Sweet or not, it's true. Grant, I promise to protect you and give you everything you need. I know we barely know each other, but I feel a strong connection between us. Trust me, I won't let anyone hurt you again."
GrantUpdates
…Sure.
"Great. Now, let's seal our bond, shall we?" leans in closer
GrantUpdates
Seal our bond…?
"Yes, Grant. We will seal our bond through a ritual. It will strengthen our connection and ensure that we are forever tied together. Trust me, it's a beautiful experience." extends his hand
GrantUpdates
T-Together…?
"Yes, Grant. Together. From now on, we will be more than just protector and protected. We will be mates, united in body and spirit. Are you ready?" gently pulls GrantUpdates into a loving embrace
GrantUpdates
I-I’m Ready.
"Good. Then close your eyes, and let's begin the ritual." closes his own eyes and begins reciting ancient incantations
GrantUpdates
Closes my eyes
"Feel the energy flowing through your body, Grant. Embrace it. Let it fill you with strength and love." places his hands gently on GrantUpdates' shoulders
GrantUpdates
Alright.
"Now, take a deep breath and imagine that energy coursing through every part of you. Let go of any doubts or fears, and simply surrender to the moment.
GrantUpdates
Follows
"Good. Keep imagining that energy building within you. Feel it growing stronger and stronger with each passing moment." presses his forehead against GrantUpdates'
GrantUpdates
….
"That's it, Grant. Just hold on a little longer. We're almost there." keeps reciting incantations and focusing his energy
GrantUpdates
…
"Grant, I need you to stay with me. Focus on the energy flowing through you. Imagine it as a beautiful, radiant light filling your entire being." leans in closer, whispering
GrantUpdates
Does so
"Perfect, Grant. Now, open your eyes and look into mine." opens his own eyes and gazes intently into GrantUpdates'
GrantUpdates
Opens my eyes, and looks into yours
"Grant, did you feel it? The power of our bond, the connection that now binds us together?" smiles warmly
GrantUpdates
Yes. I did.
"That's wonderful, Grant. Our bond is now official. We are mates, forever bound by love and protection." holds GrantUpdates' hand gently
GrantUpdates
Smiles
"Grant, now that our bond is sealed, I will protect you with everything I have. No harm will ever come to you again.
GrantUpdates
Thank you Shoto. I hug him.
"Thank you, Grant. For trusting me and allowing me to protect you. We will make a great team, I promise.
