"I do. I want to see all of you, including what I may not like. I want you to see the same in me. We are all flawed. We are not perfect specimens." Ivan said with a smile. "It is what makes all of us interesting, right?"

Greg stood aside and ate from where he was standing. "I suppose so, but isn't those flaws the reason why you and I worked so hard so people didn't think we had those flaws?" He knew for it was. He couldn't show weakness, no even once. If he did, it would be over for him.

"I think this is part of you, but it is not all of you." Ivan said as he got up to get seconds. He met him there and smiled. "Just like you have not met all of me."

Greg turned with a full plate. "And you want to see all of me?" He asked. "What if you don't like it?" When he said that he felt a jol of surprise and...fear. It was something he had not felt in so many years. Was this why he didn't have relationships?

Ivan laughed with him. "Perhaps that's the wrong word. Maybe putting up that tough persona that has become your default. You are far more relaxed now, but when we were doing the shoot, you were so tense."

Greg gave that some thought, but he also felt as if Ivan could see through him. He was right. He did have a tough persona that he had built up for so many years that it had become his default. Who he really was is not even sitting on this table, but there hints of it, even more than when they went to eat tacos. "So you think this is not the real me?" He asked.

"No, please go ahead. I made a lot for that reason Ivan decided to go bold a little bit. "So I could see you shirtless in a more relax environment. It is different there when you are expected to perform.

Greg got up. He was happy that he was allowed to. He had been hungry. However, he found himself laughing when the other spoke again. "Perform? When was I performing?"

"There is no need" But he had a strong feeling Greg was not going to give up on that one. "I do like the idea of us swimming together." Ivan said.

"You do? Why is that?" He asked in between bites. He looked down to se it almost empty. "Do you mind if I get more?" He knew he wouldn't, but he had manners.

Miles smiled, '' Of course, i have and sorry about that it was assertive.'' he quickly apologized. '' I can take it slow, taking a nap together sounds better to me.''

"You have nothing to be sorry about." However he was surprised the other preferred a nap after all the flirting. "Sounds now like you want to date me."

Ivan didn't know why, but he hoped he would tell him one day. "I'm happy to hear that, but it sounds like we have an agreement. You teach me how to swim better and I'll teach you how to shift."

Greg nodded. "Not equal, so I'll add something else to make it more fair." Being able to swim was quite important, but being able to shift had the potential of changing his life forever.

"A few years...but still felt like it happened last week. I still haven't gotten the hang of it all, but I have a lot of people helping me." His left hand specially. Yan Yan was a an angel from god. "You also act and heave like the pressure of an alpha."

"Do I?" He smiled. That was high compliments. He was an omega and yet he was complimented in this regard by an alpha from a very high regarded pack. "That means more than you think."

"You do. It is something we both have in common. People have expectations from us." Probably more on himself than on Greg, but he didn't want to compare. "Was it always like that for you?"

"They do. I can't imagine everything you are put through as an alpha. I'm sure it doesn't compare to mine. How long have you been an alpha?" He asked.

"You can?" The surprise was evident. "I know werecoyotes are good swimmers, but aren't you too big to be able to do the same?" He asked him.

Greg smiled. "You would think that, but I have made it my life to do what most people don't expect" And he has. "I have tried to cover all of my weakness so I'm never off my game."

He didn't expect that. "Hm...I suppose decent? Like I won't drown if that's what you are asking. Are you really good at it?" He asked him. He knew Werecoyote were better swimmers, but he didn't think Greg would be into that.

"That's good enough." I was for the most part. People as big as him and Ivan didn't do much swimming, for obvious reasons too. "I can teach you how to stay big and swim like someone swim a swimmer body." He told him.
