Expectations (1/1)
***'Aren't you the prettiest little thing,' Jaejoong stares in horror at Yunho and then back at another Yunho, only the female version of him. When he agreed to take 'tests', he pretty much thought they would stab him with some needles and take some samples. He was in no way or form prepared to meet Yunho's mother. 'So, uh, my mom's an alpha,' Yunho states and Jaejoong turns to look at him with deep contempt written all over his features. 'I kind of see that, you know?' and then he turns back, staring at the impressive female. Her eyes are the same warm brown as Yunho's except that there's a certain wisdom in them that his mate lacks. The alpha is tall and slim, her dark, straight hair cut into a neat hairstyle that screams professionalism. Everything about her screams professionalism, dominance and authority and Jaejoong feels an overpowering need to submit. She doesn't have to say anything to have Jaejoong's full attention. 'Seriously, my son is an idiot but at least he has good taste. You smell wonderful,' she says as she sniffs at his shamelessly, making Jaejoong color a deep shade of red. Yunho whines at that, desperately reaching out for his mate but takes a step back when the older alpha snaps at him and pins him down with a look. 'Stop it, son.'Jaejoong doesn't even dare to question that decision. If Yunho's mom wants to sniff at him, she's welcome to sniff at him all she wants. Jaejoong is pretty sure she's doing that for some kind of a professional reason, not just because she's a pervert. At least he hopes so. 'You're truly a unique case, my beautiful,' the alpha says as she looks him over. Her hands linger on his face, his shoulders, then his waist and hips, and he hears Yunho growling in the back even though it's a tiny growl, more of a whine, and doesn't sound too threatening.'I don't know about being unique or not because I have no ideas what I am,' he admits honestly, keeping his eyes downcast. His ears are still red from the intimidating feeling that the alpha's presence emits. Yunho's nothing like his mother even if the two look alike. She's strong and commanding while Yunho's sweet. Jaejoong can't help glancing over at his mate, suddenly grateful that Yunho is his equal, his friend, and not someone he has to submit to. 'Hmm, hmm, don't be scared, my darling, I'll make sure you're in good hands and properly cared for. You are truly beautiful, you know that? And my son will have to work hard to treat you right.'Yunho mutters something about already treating his mate right to which both his mother and Jaejoong throw him a doubtful look. Just when Jaejoong opens his mouth to protest, the older alpha takes his hand to pull him in and he struggles to suppress a shiver when her palms slide to his abdominal muscles. With a curious look peaking in her eyes, she presses her slim fingers into his stomach. 'Jaejoong, darling-' she starts as her mouth pulls into a grin and her nimble fingers round his slim waist, 'what a pleasant surprise-' she drawls but is interrupted by Heechul who enters the room looking more energetic than his usual lazy self. Now when he's in the environment that he’s most familiar with, he shines like the highly skilled professional that he is. 'There's a free examination room available,' he tells the female alpha who takes a reluctant step back while Jaejoong lets out a breathes of relief. Even if he knows she would never hurt him, her presence is leaving him breathless. Yunho whimpers as he takes an unsure step towards his mate, weary eyes watching his mother.‘Alright, little freaks, let’s go,’ Heechul motions to them and Jaejoong follows eagerly, relieved to get further away from the dominant female. All he wants is to go home, curl up in his bed with a warm cup of tea, forget all about alphas and omegas and weird mutants and read a good book. Maybe watch some TV, maybe play some video games, maybe cry in his pillow until the morning lights. Anything but what's happening to him right now. 'Are you going to take those tests as well or did you promise that only to get me here?' he asks doubtfully. He's relieved when Yunho takes his hands and eagerly swears that he's going to take all the tests they will make him. His passionate promises are accompanied by a reluctant Heechul. 'Well, I promised that only to trick you but I guess I can take them if that’s what's going to make you feel so much better-‘ 'Yes, please,' Jaejoong nods, satisfied when he sees Heechul grimace in distaste. Maybe it's not nice but if he has to suffer, he sure wants to see his friend suffering as well. Having received a half hearted promise from the omega and an eager one from his mate, Jaejoong is finally ready for the examination they’re going to put him through. He looks distrustfully at one of the machines that they attach to his arm, calming down only after Yunho gets attached to a similar one. He's fine with letting them take his blood but goes into a frenzy when they want him to provide a stool sample. He blushes madly as he listens to the explanation of what exactly that includes. Heechul rolls his eyes, calling him a fairly dumb sissy when he disappears in the bathroom, a little plastic container in his hands. -- After having been poked and probed for the next hour and a half, having been questioned and examined, pushed and pulled, Jaejoong sits tiredly in the waiting room and sighs. He’s leaning against his too enthusiastic mate, wondering how comes everything seems to be an adventure to Yunho. 'You're awfully happy.''I like spending time with you.''Even at a hospital?''Especially at a hospital.'Which is weird but Yunho's a weird alpha so Jaejoong doesn't question it.
