Tell me who you are (1/1)

Jeonghan parked the car on the street. “Be careful getting out,” he said, “the streets here are busy.”“I got it,” Joshua said, looking out the window. He opened the door when the street was clear, closing it with a slam. Moving towards the other side, he walked not seeing the speeding motorcycle coming out of nowhere.Grabbing Joshua, Jeonghan pulled him in towards his body. He let out a slew of curses at the motorcyclist. “Fucking asshole! Watch where you’re going!” Muttering under his breath, “That was fucking dangerous. Could’ve killed you.”  Jeonghan looked down. His eyes bugged out. Joshua was quivering. As his heart calmed down, the hand Jeonghan had on Joshua’s back allowed him to feel the quickly beating heart that wasn’t slowing down. “Hey,” he said quietly, “are you ok? Do I need to take you back home?” Jeonghan hadn’t seen Joshua much but it was first to see the kid so damn quiet and dare he say it, afraid.Joshua shivered. His heart was pounding so hard all he could hear was the blood rushing everywhere. He almost lost his life, just like his mom did in an accident.“Hey?”Jerking out of his reverie, he looked straight seeing a white button up and a black blazer. Joshua looked up; Jeonghan stared down at him actual concern in his eyes.“You ok? Want to go home,” the alpha asked.He pulled away, making sure to hide the shaking. Joshua wouldn’t break now. Not when everything had fallen apart and he pulled himself together. He didn’t cry or show any weakness at her funeral; Joshua certainly wouldn’t show any to Jeonghan.  “I’m fine. Just surprised. The stupid idiot,” he spat.Jeonghan stared at him. Was the shaking earlier just his imagination? Was that look of split second fear in Joshua’s eyes something he just thought he saw? Because Joshua no longer looked like he was a lost little lamb. The fire was blazing in his eyes and he stared fiercely back at Jeonghan as per normal.“Got it,” Jeonghan said. “Let’s go in.” He pushed Joshua gently inside, hand in between his shoulder blades.As soon as they got past five feet of the door, a worker practically skipped to them. “Jeonghan-ssi. What can we do for you today?”Jeonghan waved his free hand at Joshua, “Slacks and a button up for him. We’re going to a fancier place and he didn’t know.”Joshua glared at him, nearly pulling back his lips to snarl at Jeonghan.“Fitted not tight. I don’t need other people eyeing my omega,” Jeonghan said. It was best to establish his place now, since Jeonghan came to shop here frequently. The sooner people knew the more it would cement Joshua’s place in their head as Jeonghan’s omega, which would help bolster the image that they were in love, and their parents wouldn’t sniff suspiciously at the two of them.At this Joshua, did pull back his lips and snarled at Jeonghan but the man put his finger to his lips and said in a disgustingly cheerful voice, “No need to protest darling. Only the best for you.”The salesman laughed and nodded. “Understood. Let me go pick some things out for him.” He led the two of them to a seated area, with some water bottles.Joshua watched as the salesman left and then he bit at Jeonghan’s hand as he had draped his arm over Joshua’s shoulder. He smirked, satisfied, as he heard Jeonghan let out a little yelp of pain.Hissing in Joshua’s ear, “What was that for?”“I take offense to being called your omega,” Joshua hissed back at him.“It’s just for show,” Jeonghan explained, “if I start telling people at places I frequent it’ll get back to my parents and then back to your dad. It’ll make everything more believable. It’s called tricking people child.”“Something you’re good at,” Joshua retorted. “How else do you get people to have sex with you? You don’t have a shining personality.”“Why you little,” Jeonghan said, getting into Joshua’s face.“I found the perfect things for him,” the salesman said, coming back, arms laden with clothes, interrupting Jeonghan.Joshua sprang up and followed the salesman to the fitting room that he opened for Joshua, leaving Jeonghan on the couch with an angry expression on his face. He closed the door with a snick as the salesman left. Locking it, Joshua slowly slid to the ground. He brought his hands to face and breathed deep. The trembling came back as he slowly processed what had nearly happened about twenty minutes earlier. He nearly lost his life and he played it off as if it was nothing. Arms wrapping themselves around his biceps he gritted his teeth and stood up, compartmentalizing everything. Nothing would get done if he broke down here.
