Oh, it's been a long time! You're getting all fancy after college, aren't you? Did you meet someone you like? Me? I'm the same as ever. Oh, that's right. Have you seen Natsuki?
Oh, thanks! I'm going to go talk to him for a bit, I'll see you later.
Oh, there he is. Cute as ever, that guy.
Yo, Natsuki! Long time no see!
Ah, Hal! Long time no see, how have you been?
Oh, I'm fine. You're as small as ever.
Stop it~! It's no wonder you stopped being tall in high school. Hal is as mean as ever!
Bad bad bad. I missed it so much I had to tinker with it.
Oh, that's right. Are you going to the after-party, Natsuki?
The after-party, huh? Well, I'm thinking of quitting. What about you, Hal? Are you going?
I see. I don't mind either way. Speaking of which, how are you and your boyfriend doing these days?
...Oh, sorry, I got called away. I'll be right back. I'll be right back.
Uh, yeah. I'll be waiting for you! I'll wait for you! Oh, he's gone. You're still as popular as ever, Hal. You've become a little cooler and more sophisticated.
Oh, I have a bad feeling about this. What should I do? Oh no, what should I do? I have to go outside for now.
Hey, have you heard from Natsuki? She said she had to leave on an emergency? Thank you!
What do you mean you're leaving? I told him to wait for me. I was looking forward to seeing him.
Hello, Natsuki? What do you mean you're leaving on urgent business?
If you're leaving, you could at least say something to me, couldn't you? Hey, you hear me?
Huh, huh, huh, Hal.
What's wrong, Natsuki? Are you not feeling well?
I'm sorry, Hal. I came out without saying anything. It's nothing, it's okay.
I'm okay? How can you be okay when you sound in such pain? What's wrong with you?
I'm really okay. Actually, I think I'm suddenly in heat, so I'm going to go home first. I'm really sorry. I'll probably be fine, I've taken my suppressants and I'll take a cab home!
Let's go play again some other time, then,
Wait a minute, are you sure you're okay?
You're at the cab stand right now? I'm coming, just wait a minute. You understand?
...ha, ha, Natsuki! Are you okay, huh?
You, that face. You smell sweet too. Did you really take inhibitors?
Yeah, I took it. I took it, but it still didn't work, and I'm not supposed to cycle yet, but I'm going to have to change my meds. But really, I'm fine. I'm fine.
No, it's not okay. I'm a beta and I can smell it, what would happen if I met an alpha? If he smells that sweet and has blush on his cheeks, anyone would think he's asking me out. I'll take you home. Here comes the cab.
Here we go, just lean on it until we get there.
______
Here, Natsuki, we're in your room. Sit on the bed. I'll get you some water.
Oh, thank you Hal. Ha, ha, I'm so sorry.
No problem. Here. Don't leave the water here. Okay, I'm going home.
Wait, Hal. Are you leaving already? I told you I'd be fine, but I don't know what to do. The medicine isn't working. I'm sorry Hal, don't go away, don't leave me alone...
No, it's not safe if someone attacks me... so I sent... but...
I can't stay here any longer. If I stay here any longer, I'll..,
Hey, Natsuki, you got a boyfriend? You had one in high school, right? Alpha boyfriend.
Boyfriend? I broke up with him a long time ago, and I've been on my own ever since, all by myself, so, hey, Hal, help me out. It's so hard.
Hey, don't hug me, Natsuki. Hey, wait a minute.
Hey, Hal. No?
No, I'm just...your sweet smell is giving me a hard time, too. But you're in the heat right now, you're just floating in the heat, and when the heat goes down, you're gonna regret it for sure, okay?
Still, is it okay?
Yeah, Hal can do it. Hey, please. I'm having a hard time with my meds. Please, I'm in so much pain and I miss you so much, I don't know what to do.
All right, all right, all right. Calm down, Natsuki. Don't regret it, okay?
No, I'm going to lose it. It's not enough. No, no, no, bite me. Hal, bite my neck.
You're out of your mind, aren't you? You know I'm a beta.
You know you can't take a turn at biting. And yet. How can you do such a terrible thing without knowing how I've been dragging it out for so long?
Damn, if I were an alpha, if I were an alpha, I could have been your turn with you!
If I could take your turn, I'd be by your side even if I didn't want to.
Natsuki, why? Why are you smelling sweeter than before? Beta and Omega should not be able to take turns, so why.
Huh, huh, huh, Natsuki?
Did you fall asleep? Did I go a little too hard?
The place where you chewed, it's a red mark, you bit too hard...
When you bit him, his smell got thicker, but you thought it was his turn.
No, I'm a beta, so I'm not supposed to be the number.
If I was an alpha ...... alpha I would have had my real turn by now. You would only rut for me....
Natsuki just got carried away by the heat...I know you did it with me, but I've been in love with you since high school.
So I'll see you again today, and I'll be looking forward to it, hey, please. Please don't wake up from this dream, Natsuki.

...hmm.
Oh, good morning, Hal. I'm sorry about last night, okay? I probably looked a little shabby, didn't I?
No, that's fine. Is your body OK now?
Yeah, I'm fine now! I'm fine now, although my back does hurt a little bit, heh.
I'm sorry for worrying you, okay?
I see, that's good to know.
I didn't think the suppressants would work that well yesterday, I guess I need to change my meds. It seems like it's working worse and worse these days.
Hey, Hal. Don't hate me even though this has happened, okay?
I don't really dislike it.
Really? Thank God, I was afraid I was going to lose my only childhood friend.
Childhood friends, huh?
Hmm, Hal, what's wrong?
No, it's nothing.
You really should watch out. If it wasn't me and it wasn't Alpha, you'd be on your turn with someone you don't like right now.
Hmm, number?
Oh, no, it's nothing. See, you're still in heat, for one thing, so take it easy today.
I'm gonna go home now. I'll be in touch. See you later!
Oh, yeah, see you. It's been a while, but thank you so much. Bye-bye!
He, doesn't he remember that I bit his neck?
Don't hate me, or stay childhood friends, or remain as insensitive as you have been since high school.
After all, to that Omega guy, I, the beta who can't be his turn, can't even be his love interest, and will always be his childhood friend.... Ah, maybe it was me who was dreaming....
