September 10th, 2025 was the worst day ever for Dean.
He felt something strange in the air on the 9th. After Charlie fell asleep on FaceTime, Dean said goodnight to him and hung up. He tossed and turned all night, worried about Charlie’s debate in Utah tomorrow. He flopped over onto his back with a huff. He ran a hand over his face and he sat up. He missed the way Charlie’s arms would wrap around his body whenever he snuck over, telling Erika he was going out with his debate buddies. She didn’t know about this…affair.
Charlie always thought sleeping with a man was better than sleeping with a woman. A few years ago, he would say that it was because they couldn’t get pregnant, but now, he can’t use that excuse anymore. Ever since 2024, there have been men with this rare condition where they have the ability to get pregnant and also give birth. Somehow, both Dean and Charlie developed the condition officially called “Omegaitis”. Dean thought the name was silly, considering he was an alpha, but he dealt with it anyways. Charlie always teased him for being such a grumpy alpha. He was definitely a bratty omega.
Erika was a cold alpha, unlike Dean. So, when him and Charlie met, they both got awful love surges—right out in public! It was embarrassing, considering Charlie was trying to debate someone for Jubilee. After the debating was over, Charlie was crying in the parking lot because someone called his smile creepy. Dean saw him sobbing and walked over. He put a hand on his shoulder.
“Crying all by yourself, handsome?”
