[For YakuEi Week 2023 Day 1 Prompt: First Date]
Why today, of all day? Why must his body decide to get sick on the day he’s supposed to meet Eiden for their first date? Yakumo can’t cancel this date; Eiden is eagerly waiting for it as much as Yakumo does, and canceling it so suddenly would deeply sadden him.
There must be something Yakumo can do in his current state to make this first date a reality, even if he had to crawl out of his bed.

Summary
Edmond has made many trips to Solaria, one would think he would have gotten used to the heat by now. Unfortunately, it's not just the heat of the Fire Territory that's been getting to him as of late, and it's not helpful when Dante pays the Vice-Captain a nighttime visit.

Summary
Yakumo does not meet his gaze. "Do you wish you were an omega?" he asks.
"Honestly? No. I love being a beta, but I also get that me being one means we got more stuff to work through." The now empty mug sits on the table beside the vial. "I can't ever be your bonded omega, but I dunno, I figured it'd be nice if you got the chance to know what it feels like."
For the longest time, Yakumo does not respond. His grip on his lukewarm mug tightens.
Dating an alpha was never going to be easy, especially not as a beta. Eiden learns that there's more to the secondary gender than what the stereotypes and textbooks describe.

Summary
Loving Eiden is as wonderful as it is painful, Yakumo learns. To fall in love with Eiden is a blessing, which also hides a curse; the dreadful fear of being rejected if his feelings were to be known by Eiden. So Yakumo makes a decision, to bury his love deep in his heart, never to see the light again.
He's a coward, but could anyone blame him for not wanting them to grow apart? Could anyone blame him for desiring these peaceful days he spent with Eiden to continue as long as they can? Even if he had to keep his feelings a secret all the time?
Yakumo was a cowardly fool, and he’ll continue being one—if that meant the distance between him and Eiden will never increase. If that meant Eiden will never leave his side.

“Mr. Eiden, I love you.”“About time. I’ve been waiting for those words.”
