Although it hadn’t been that long since then, it felt like something from the distant past.

Since that day they became bonded, everything surrounding Zero and Kazusa had changed dramatically.

First Change:

Zero made the ‘bonded mate’ announcement in front of all the residents of ‘RARE’.

Zero had consulted Kazusa beforehand, reasoning that it would be hard to keep it hidden in a communal living environment. Instead of letting the news gradually spread and becoming an open secret, they decided it was better to just announce it.

However, all the residents were passionate fans of Zero. The night before the announcement, Kazusa couldn’t sleep, worried about everyone’s reactions. Yet, when they made the announcement:

"I knew it! I had a feeling!"

"Congratulations, Lemur!"

"You guys are perfect for each other!"

"I’d be okay with Lemur having the Owner."

The responses were overwhelmingly positive, which was a relief.

Serval teased Kazusa, saying, "I knew it! It was totally obvious. Owner’s way too into Sensei." Kazusa was embarrassed, but later Serval even took the lead in organising a small celebration for them.

Since the announcement, they no longer had to worry about people’s reactions, and though Kazusa’s things were still in Room 601, he was practically living in Zero’s room.

Second Change:

Since reuniting at the D-East Station, Zero had started staying in touch with his brothers.

Though their busy brother Keiki’s visit hadn’t materialised, Kouki and Honjou visited ‘RARE’ as promised, and they had a great time together.

Honjou, in particular, seemed interested in ‘RARE’. He enthusiastically toured the shared spaces and the lounge, bombarding Zero with questions (which reminded Kazusa of himself a few months ago).

When they looked into the community floor, a few residents were gathered there, including Misa and her mother Gazelle. The residents were all relaxing, chatting happily around Misa, and nibbling on homemade baked goods. Watching this scene, Honjou’s face softened as he murmured, "…This is nice." Kazusa vividly remembered that relaxed profile.

Honjou seemed completely at ease in that moment, and Kouki’s gaze was gentle and supportive, as if the two had a strong bond even in their private lives.

Meanwhile, the relationship with Zero’s Alpha-supremacist father and stepmother remained severed, and Kazusa didn’t think reconciliation was likely, given the history. Even so, reconnecting with his brothers was a significant step forward.

As Kazusa reflected on these changes while sipping his herbal tea, his smartphone began buzzing in his back pocket. He checked the screen—it was a call from his mother.

"Excuse me, I need to take this," he said, apologising to Zero and Gazelle before moving to the adjacent kitchen to answer.

"Hello, Mom? What’s up?"

"No particular reason; I just wondered how you were doing."

Third Change:

Half a month ago, Kazusa had gathered his courage to call his parents and explain what had happened.

He tried to put it as gently as possible, but his mother started crying halfway through, and his father remained silent until the end.

Kazusa’s parents had worked tirelessly, from early morning to late at night, to afford the considerable cost of making their eldest son a doctor. Kazusa being a doctor had been a point of pride for them.

Then, suddenly, they found out not only that he was an Omega but also that his medical licence had been revoked. It couldn’t have been easy for them to accept.

That night, his mother’s cries echoed in his mind, making it hard to fall asleep. But Zero held him close, stroking his back and head until he managed to sleep a little by dawn.

The day after coming out to his parents, Kazusa received a message from his younger brother in the countryside.

[I heard the news. Bro, turns out you were a latent Omega all along? That’s wild!]

[Sorry for all the trouble.]

[What’s funny is Dad, who ignored me all this time, suddenly sucking up to me.]

[He’s probably genuinely shocked. If possible, try to go easy on him.]

[Sure. But when I come over, you better treat me to something nice!]

[Of course, anything you want.]

[Barbecue and Sushi]

[Got it]

Kazusa could sense that his younger brother felt many things deep down, but his casual messages were a great relief.

Three days later, his mother reached out again. Surprisingly, she had already adjusted her perspective, saying, “Being an Omega means there’s a possibility of having children, right?”

“Well… yes…”

"Honestly, I always wanted a daughter. So, while it’s unfortunate about your medical licence... I’m kind of happy about this.”

“Really…? I didn’t know that.”

“If you ever have a child, let me know. I’ll come help out.”

“Don’t you think you’re getting a bit ahead of yourself?”

“But you already have a mate, don’t you?”

“Yeah… well…”

“Then there’s a chance it could happen, right? You’re newlyweds, after all.”

“N-newlyweds…! Okay, I get it. I’ll tell you if that happens!”

Kazusa’s back tingled, and his face flushed so hot that he couldn’t keep the conversation going any longer.

To think he’d be having such ‘girl talk’ with his mother—something he never would have imagined just three months ago.

His father still hadn’t reached out, but Kazusa figured it was something only time could heal.

Since that day, his mother had been calling regularly, although each time, it was mostly just casual chit-chat.

Today, after yet another lighthearted conversation, his mother ended with her recent catchphrase, “Next time, bring your boyfriend home,” and he responded distantly, thinking (Boyfriend…) and said, “Sure, someday,” before ending the call.

Kazusa knew that if someone like Zero—who had such a dazzling, urban aura—were to show up in his rural hometown, it would cause an uproar, with all the relatives gathering and probably bombarding them with questions like a background check. Considering all that, returning home together wasn’t something he could do so easily.

“Phew…”

As he sighed with his phone still in his hand, a voice called from right behind him, “Who was that?” Without turning, Kazusa knew from the pleasant, deep voice that it was Zero.

"When it comes to you, I’m nothing but a bundle of possessiveness."

Zero had declared this openly, and it was true. It seemed like he cared about Kazusa’s every move and would come looking for him if he so much as left Zero’s sight.

(Even that part of him is endearing…)
