Ivan Franjo-Alpha

Greg took a deep breath and he felt his hand. Any wall he had then was out of the window. It helped that Ivan was being very soft and considerate. He figured he felt his own status pressing on him. However, he found himself smiling at Ivan's proposal. "Yeah, you can." He whispered.

Ivan smiled and leaned forward, but he stopped before their lips met. "Are you afraid of me Greg?" He asked him. "I'm an alpha and you are an omega and I know...but you are way stronger than you think, maybe even stronger than I."

Hikari: I can send more.

Ivan: I would love that.

Greg got on guard as soon as Ivan started to walk. He didn't know if it was him invading his personal space or if it was his alpha status, but he had to put his guard down seconds later, get comfortable. This was Ivan. He is not going to hurt him. "What would that be?"

Ivan almost took a few steps back. He felt the tension in Greg. He didn't realize what that was until he remembered Greg was an omega and he was an alpha. Of course his rank would intimidate him. It was a bit funny that Greg's size and attitude made him forget that. It was why, in second thought, he reached for Greg's cheek. He stayed silent as he caressed it. "Can I kiss you?"

That made Greg's smile wider. He expected Ivan to reject him, but he didn't. It was the opposite. He embraced his hesitance and curiosity. "If that's so...what should we do next to keep exploring this?" He asked him.

Ivan put his plate down, clearing his throat as he took a few steps forward. He then put stopped right in front of Greg and smiled. "There is something, if you don't mind of course."

Hikari: You guys do sweet and pastries, which I don't have. I think we can compliment each other.

Ivan: My customers did love the BBQ and Orange chicken you left with us.

Hikari: I'm doing well thanks. I was hoping to speak to you about a future partnership.

Ivan: Yannick mentioned that. What do you have in mind?

Greg smiled. He had noticed that Ivan liked to get his opinion on topics. That was not something he was used to, outside of the business side of his gym. People always kept things short with him. All surface, nothing deep. "Would you be offended if I say you have me curious?" He asked him. "I think...I may be curious to where this goes."

Ivan didn't know what to expect, but he had hope with that smile. It only grew as Greg expressed himself freely. "Not at all. I think that's good news for me. It means you are indeed interested."

Hikari: Oh! How are you? This is Hikari yes.

Ivan: I'm doing well. What about you?

"I do. What about you? Do you like me more?" Ivan put his plate down, but his eyes were still on him. It was baby steps, but every step mattered.
