Forget the "Slow" Dancing

Summary:

Thanos won't understand so easily what happened after Lee Myung-Gi appeared in his life and at his college, he just knew that everything he believed to be the best was just an illusion and Myung-Gi was willing to show Thanos the best part of life. Something that had never crossed the purple-haired one's mind and that would turn everything he believed in upside down.

Notes:

unfortunately English is not my first language, so please be patient with me.
thangi has been on my mind for a while, just to be clear i call the shipp coinpill, and i thought “why not write a fanfic of them?” and that's what i did.
i've been working on it for a while now, i've got the ideas for the chapters well organized and i'm also going to leave here the playlist i have created for this fanfic (i'll probably add more songs over time):

Chapter 1: New Student

Chapter Text

The omega's body was thrown against one of the school lockers unexpectedly while the sound of kisses got progressively louder. They were wet, almost needy kisses. 

Two bodies glued to each other in such an intimate and shameless way, hands tracing each other's bodies while the alpha was concentrated on satisfying the omega with long black hair.

The kisses stopped occasionally to let out breaths of hot air, both of them gasping and already sweaty, which makes it clear that they had been doing this for quite a while.

“Thanos..” The omega cries, begging, after parting his red, swollen lips, watching the alpha move his head back to contemplate the mess Nam-Gyu was at that moment, biting one of his piercings, snake bites, in the process.

“Damn, you're so pretty.” He compliments the younger man, holding his chin and inclining it upwards, then kissing him while his other hand sneaks towards the other man's butt, applying pressure against them. Pelvis against pelvis. Sweet moans reached Choi Su-Bong's ears, his alpha side completely proud of itself for letting Nam-Gyu, his omega, be satisfied with simple touches and words.

But everything stopped when the school bell rang loudly, making the younger man startle and put both hands on the alpha's chest, pushing him away.

His breathing was completely out of rhythm, his eyes looked around in the empty hallway, showing concern about being caught, as if making out was a crime. But Choi knew why, after all, they were just friends. Friends with benefits, but friends, and the other students didn't know that, or just pretended not to, since it seemed so obvious.

Thanos moved away from the other, straightening his school uniform, which was messy because of the black-haired omega, trying to center his famous cross necklace right in the middle of his chest, giving the other boy time to do the same.

The empty corridor quickly filled up with other students and the previous silence was taken over by the sounds of laughter, conversations and feet walking or running around.

"Did you guys skipped classes to eat each other out again?" A voice that the two boys recognized was heard and when they looked in the direction of the sound, they could see an alpha girl approaching them, holding a strap of her backpack with delicacy. 

One of her eyebrows was raised and this only made Choi smirk sideways, crossing his arms. He doesn't owe any satisfaction to anyone, not even his friends.

“No, not at all, Se-Mi!” Nam-Gyu exclaimed, waving his hands frantically and attracting more attention than he didn't need from other students. “We were helping the librarian with the books. What kind of people do you suppose we are?"

“I don't know about Thanos, but I assume you're a liar.” Se-Mi was direct with her answer, laughing nasally as she witnessed the indignant expression the omega was making in that very moment, upset. “It's just that..you guys reek of cherry and lemon…”

Nam-Gyu opened his mouth to protest, but as soon as he heard Se-Mi mention the smell of the two friends' pheromones, he just closed it again, having no idea what he was really going to argue about right now. This only made the tallest of the three smile even more, that mischievous smile he was already known for.

“Oh no..we've been caught, so now what?” He dramatized, placing a hand on his chest, frowning his forehead in an attempt to look horrified and sad, receiving a slap on the arm from the omega next to him soon after.

“Stop being an asshole, you moron!”

Se-Mi and Thanos laughed together as Nam-Gyu complained about everything.

The conversation extended for a while, especially after two more students joined the trio, Min-Su, a beta, and Gyeong-Su, another alpha. 

This is the school's famous group, the most popular, but not as popular as Choi himself.

You see, he had built an empire there, he was an Alpha leader. The most popular, the most desired and the most respected among all the other Alphas there. He was basically what any Alpha would want to be.

But with such a reputation come multiple responsibilities, and the principal should say so. In-Ho, the school's principal, blindly trusted the purple-haired boy to carry out any school task, to help protect Omegas from other Alphas and to set limits in the corridors so that there were no fights.

However, let's be fair, Choi is an amazing guy and manages to make all of that seem simple to deal with, even if it means carrying the weight of the meaning of the word of his birth designation, Alpha.

Thanos couldn't resist puffing out his chest whenever he passed other students, with his confident walk, his chin raised and a sly grin when he heard random comments about himself or when he saw some alphas getting quieter than usual, showing respect for him.

“Thanos is absurdly handsome..”

“Right!? I wonder how he's still single.”

“And did you see him at the basketball practice yesterday? He was on the team with his shirt off, I almost screamed when I saw him!”

Almost all of his friends rolled their eyes when they saw Choi trying to pretend he didn't care about what the other students were saying, but they knew very well that the other liked it, vain as he is…

“We're going to be late if you keep walking slowly like you are now, Thanos.” Se-Mi hits his friend on the arm with her elbow, forcing him to try to walk faster.

“You already know that he likes to be praised wherever he goes, Se-Mi. He likes to hear what they have to say about him.” Gyeong-Su comments, laughing with a twinkle of amusement in both his eyes.

The purple-haired one just yawns loudly, stretches out his arms and puts them on the shoulders of his two Alpha friends, and stops walking. This ended up causing Nam-Gyu and Min-Su, who were walking behind them, to bump into the taller one's back and Nam-Gyu couldn't control himself, cursing out Su-Bong with every naughty word possible on planet earth.

“I love all of you..” Thanos sounded really crazy when he said that, even though his closest group of friends were used to that kind of reaction out of nowhere, it was still funny. “...my  team Thanos…”

“How many times have we told you to stop calling our group that?!” All the others said in unison, becoming momentarily irritated and showing it by the large, quick steps they were taking at that moment, leaving behind a Thanos who pretended to be heartbroken to the point of crying.

 

Classes. The second class of the day, but the first for Thanos, would be History and the purple-haired man even thought about pretending to be sick so he could miss it. 

The only reason he didn't was because Se-Mi and Nam-Gyu were staring at him with their evil faces, their eyes squinted and their fists clenched on the top of their wooden desks. Choi may be known at school for being intimidating and putting others in order, but he would have to admit that nothing compares to his two friends when they get really angry about something that bothers them in any way.

So the alpha leader just sighed and walked across the classroom to his usual seat, the last table at the back.

He dumped his backpack on the table and sat down awkwardly in his chair, without worrying too much about his posture - after all, teachers rarely warned him about that sort of thing. Once again, alpha leader privileges.

From one moment to the next, all the students were sitting in their respective seats and fell silent when they saw Professor Gi-Hun enter, but they soon started talking again, and even louder.

Gi-Hun was a middle-aged, omega, black-haired man who looked very serious most of the time and rarely smiled. Okay, Thanos might be exaggerating a little here. Gi-Hun was the sweetest teacher he knew at that school, but he was one of the most strict.

Gi-Hun was smiling at that very moment, perhaps because, like Thanos, he also liked receiving compliments about his new haircut, which was shorter than his previous one. Even Min-Su commented on the professor's hair out loud, which is also a rare occurrence. 

The purple-haired alpha just rolls his eyes as he scribbles in one of his notebooks that he took out of his backpack at some point.

“Thank you, thank you! I really like my new haircut, but that's not the only reason I'm happy. Your class is getting a new addition!” Su-Bong no longer had his eyes lowered towards his own notebook but instead his eyes were raised towards Professor Gi-Hun, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he heard those words and the ones that followed made the strange feeling he was feeling even worse. “Exactly, a new student! Go ahead, don't be shy!”

The alpha leader's blue eyes flew towards the door as fast as the wind, narrowing visibly when he caught sight of a new figure leaning against the doorframe, one he didn't recognize from his hallways. 

It was a boy, shorter than him, with thick but tidy black hair. His eyes were as black as his hair. He had a relaxed smile on his lips, his hands were hidden inside the pockets of his pants and the fact that one strap of his backpack was being held on one shoulder only contributed to his relaxed posture, which the alpha leader didn't like.

His back straightened out of nowhere and he found himself in a state of alertness like never before, he had some kind of feeling about that boy over there and it didn't seem to be a good one.

The new student took a few steps forward, finding himself right next to the teacher.

Choi's ears opened to hear the whispers among the students, which were growing louder and louder. A group of omegas sitting further along practically screamed, jumping up from their seats to perch on the tables, staring at the boy at the front of the room with the greatest fascination in the world, practically drooling if we are being honest...

“IT'S MG COIN!” Quickly, cell phones jumped into the hands of most of Thanos' classmates to record and photograph the famous YouTuber. The alpha leader's face hardened, his arms crossed against his chest as his eyes analytically watched every move the other made in the background.

“Please, I'd like to ask for privacy in the first place.” The idiot's voice finally came out, laughing, removing his hands from his pockets to gesture for his fans to calm down. He was probably used to this kind of reaction , Thanos thought.

When the room was more or less back to normal, with the students, especially the omegas who were releasing their sweet scents, trying to be quiet and respect each other's order, the youtuber decided to introduce himself better with teacher Gi-Hun's permission once again.

“I can see that I don't need much of an introduction here, but still...hello everyone, my name is Lee Myung-Gi and I'll be your new classmate. I hope I can get along with all of you.” He ended his introduction with a wink that made certain omegas sigh with desire.

Su-Bong clenched his jaw with immense force, ignoring the words of thanks that Myung-Gi said to Gi-Hun. His blue irises followed the path the other took to one of the few tables that didn't have an owner. His thoughts began to emerge at that moment and they were so many and so intense that pulling one of his lip piercings with his teeth was no longer enough to sort them out.

All his mind was saying was: Danger , danger , danger , danger .

That Lee Myung-Gi smelled like danger .

 

The history lesson went by faster than he thought, perhaps because his mind was more occupied thinking about the student sitting a few meters away from him than the events of the Second World War. There was something about him that managed to make all of Thanos's senses suddenly so acute, he didn't like how the youtuber had already arrived attracting attention, leaving even some of the omegas falling at his feet and making his name fly around like it was nothing.

As soon as the bell rang, Thanos made sure he stayed for the last minute in the hope that the new student would leave first, purposely taking longer to pack his school materials into his backpack.

“Su-Bong! It's good that you stayed for last, Principal In-Ho needs you to do something very important.” The omega teacher's voice came out clearly, gradually approaching his student, to which Choi raised his head from his backpack to smile with his teeth. A gentle, friendly smile, a way of gaining more trust with his teachers, as well as showing that he is willing to listen and comply with their requests, however annoying they may sometimes be.

“Of course, Professor Gi-Hun. What does the principal want?”

The omega just smiled when he heard the younger man's question, stretching out his arm and clearing the way for the alpha to see something behind him.

Shit . That was the purple-haired man's thought when his blue eyes caught sight of the new student, still in his relaxed pose, looking in his direction without any kind of reaction.

“The principal expects a responsible student to show Myung-Gi around and there's no one better than you!” The teacher explained the situation, but Choi wasn't even listening anymore. He was just concentrating on that being in front of him, with his tongue passing through his white teeth. Everything was even more different now that they were face to face, Choi was even able to smell Lee's pheromones now that the room was practically deserted and that smell wasn't hard to identify, a smell so spicy and strong, like cinnamon.

The alpha leader had the answer to his biggest doubt about the guy, he was an alpha like him and he knew it by their scent. Not that his appearance said otherwise, even if Myung-Gi wasn't as physically strong as Thanos, he was still considered a threat. His shoulders were broad, he was slim and lean and much shorter than Choi, on the positive side of most of the disadvantages already mentioned.

“Myung-Gi, this is Choi Su-Bong. He'll help you with whatever you need, I guarantee it!”

The way the other alpha just looked at Thanos from the bottom to the top with his very attentive feline eyes, without feeling intimidated in the slightest, made Choi gnaw with irritation, more than he already felt. 

Who does he think he is to do something like that? Isn't it clear where Thanos stands in the hierarchy? Why was he worrying so much about the other guy anyway? More and more questions were forming and before he could explode right there, Su-Bong just grabbed his backpack, slung it over one shoulder, and walked towards the door without even worrying about whether the other alpha was following him or not.

Gi-Hun said goodbye to his two students, his voice becoming more distant with every step the purple-haired boy took, already setting foot outside the classroom door. 

His facial features and the way he gripped the strap of his backpack tightly showed anger, after all...he didn't want to be doing this. Of all the tasks In-Ho and Gi-Hun had already given him, that was undoubtedly the one he was finding hardest to do.

To the alpha leader's surprise, he didn't see a single head in that hallway. Great...now he's not going to get rid of that asshole that easily.

He could hear Myung-Gi's relaxed footsteps behind him, just as fast, but undoubtedly less tense than Thanos'. A melody could be heard too, the sound of a tune being whistled that the taller man couldn't identify and, frankly, it didn't really matter.

He let out a deep, loud sigh so that Lee would hear and realize that the other wasn't in the mood for him at the moment, but he ended up getting a laugh in response, a giggle of pure amusement as he realized the kind of reaction he was provoking in the alpha leader. The tense shoulders, the long, strong strides, the final sigh...yes, Myung-Gi knew exactly what he was doing.

“Thanos, isn't it? Sorry, some of our classmates ended up telling me a bit about you in class. Are you going to show me around or..”

The sentence was cut off halfway through because the purple-haired alpha stopped walking to turn his whole body towards the guy, crossing his arms and lifting his chin, his blue irises looking down towards Myung-Gi, who suddenly seemed more interested in the cross necklace Thanos had around his neck than his face.

“Listen to me, Lee..” He growled, expressing dominance towards the other, who only blinked slowly with a neutral expression as he raised his head slightly to look the taller man in the eye. “I don't know what your game is here, at this college, but I guarantee it won't go well, so...you'd better give up.”

There was a moment of silence. Thanos' mind proud to have put that alpha in his place and to have played his role as an alpha leader, all evaporated when the black-haired alpha decided to open his mouth once again:

“There is no plan, Choi.”

The alpha leader's eyebrows furrowed quickly, his eyes filled with anger because the other didn't seem the least bit intimidated and he took that sentence as an affront to himself, a threat to everything he had built up over the years there. He needs to defend himself and everything he owns from alpha bastards who believe they can rule like he does, from alpha bastards like Myung-Gi.

“I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm the alpha leader of this school.” It was direct and bold in case the other didn't already know that, even though it's something immensely obvious. 

“I'm aware of that, yes. However, may I ask why you're telling me about it?” The question seemed very innocent if it weren't for the sideways smile the other boy gave him, raising both eyebrows. Lee seemed, in a way, happy that the information had been confirmed by the voice of the alpha leader himself. Smug, that's what the shorter alpha was.

Thanos was so furious that he began to release his pheromones without thinking, and the acidic, lemony, very refreshing scent made its presence in the nostrils of the other alpha, who seemed to inhale more deeply with his eyes open to smell Choi's perfume.

Thanos was imposing himself at that very moment, showing that he was in charge and that it wasn't an insignificant alpha like Myung-Gi who was going to disrespect him as he was doing at that very moment. The tension increases infinitely more when the purple-haired one is caught off guard by the other's spicy smell, that damn cinnamon.

“You'd better stop what you're doing.” A growl leapt from his throat, something he didn't do very often, but considering the proportions this dialog between them was taking, it was necessary. The sentence came out low in a fierce tone, the same tone he uses to show the other alphas who the authority really is.

The tension was increasing and it looked like it was going to get worse at any moment if Thanos didn't get out of there now, but that proud, vengeful side of him seemed to want to stay to show Myung-Gi that he was messing with the wrong man.

“I don't know what you're talking about, I'm not doing anything.”

A move, a foot against another foot, a knee against another knee, a head almost against a chest…

Fuck, did that short son of a bitch have something to with invading personal spaces? One more thing Thanos will list as something he hates about that half-wit youtuber.

The spicy smell of cinnamon and the acid of lemon seemed to flood the hallway, mixing and creating an intense but pleasant fragrance, but it won't be enough to put an end to what's about to happen there.

“I'll get to know the school by myself then. It was nice to meet you, Su-Bong.”

No, he didn't do that, did he? That's enough .

“You son of a bitch..”

A bang echoed down the hallway so loudly that the students who were climbing the stairs nearby ran excitedly towards their alpha leader and the school's newest student, already familiar with that kind of noise.

Choi didn't hold back and punched Myung-Gi's handsome face hard enough to turn the other's head to the left with a certain unexpected brutality. The purple-haired one was suddenly panting, his face animalistic and his gaze capable of piercing the skin of anyone he looked at.

Myung-Gi took a few moments to react to what had happened there, his jaw clenching as he listened to the students laugh and further incite Thanos' actions during the fight, pulling their cell phones out of their pockets. 

Great..

Thanos swung his right hand, the one that had just thrown the punch, practically declaring that the fight was over, that he wasn't going to invest any more against the shorter alpha, that he just wanted to impose order...but he was wrong to believe that it would end there.

Still watching Lee with his head turned to the left, he heard a low laugh and his vision was surprised by a fist, which hit the purple-haired boy right in the middle of the nose, injuring him.

Thanos threw a hand at him as soon as he felt the impact and a guttural growl came out so naturally that it alarmed some of the students who were now making a circle among them, shouting “Fight, fight, fight” at the top of their lungs. 

So he runs towards the other with all the speed he can muster, catching him off guard and trapping him with his arms to throw him to the ground with a loud thud, causing the youtuber to let out a muffled groan of pain.

“Uhhh…” The students murmured in chorus, increasingly satisfied with what they saw and Choi wouldn't mind showing what he was capable of, proving that he could protect the omegas, proving that he was a real threat to other alphas and showing that everyone had chosen a great alpha leader. He was confident of winning the fight and it was extremely satisfying to contemplate Myung-Gi's state, to see what he was capable of.

His legs went up over the other alpha's body, who was lying on the ground and trying to free his hands from Thanos' grip, growling aggressively. But another punch landed on Myung-Gi's face, and the black-haired alpha's vision blurred slightly, but it was still possible to see the trickle of blood running down the nose of the boy on top of him. Myungi-Gi's cheek was starting to turn purple, and a wound had opened up on his eyebrow and upper lip, some blood seeping out.

Thanos was smiling evilly...or he was, because the famous MG Coin decided to protect himself by projecting a large amount of saliva towards the alpha leader's cheek, who only closed his eyes on instinct for a few seconds. When he opened them again, his eyes went from blue to “red” with the fury he felt, and he raised his fist once more.

“Stop, dammit!” A female voice was heard, much louder than all the others. Everyone recognized that voice, and Thanos didn't even need to look back to know who was holding his wrist now. It was a firm grip, but there was a delicate touch to it.

“Let me go, Jun-Hee.” He sighs, his eyes closing and his shoulders relaxing a little more. He just let himself sit on the new student's chest, not caring much whether the other would complain or not.

“Quit with your shit, I don't want to babysit children.” She points, letting go of Thanos' wrist and pushing him away rudely, putting her hands back inside her hoodie, never undoing her serious face.

Jun-Hee was the fiercest omega in the school, also one of the most desired, who didn't give a damn about any of the alphas, she defends the rights of an omega more than anyone else did there and yes, she even did more than the adults themselves sometimes, being one step ahead of everyone. 

Choi has no problem admitting that he thinks she's pretty, but he'd better keep that to himself, otherwise Jun-Hee's alpha would go after him and Se-Mi gets very angry when the subject is her omega.

Thanos just wiped his face, removing all the saliva that the other had spat out, but ended up smearing the blood that was dripping from his nose. His blue eyes lowered to study Myung-Gi's face before he got off him, letting out a breath of air as he smiled sideways.

“What's going on here?” A slightly more strident voice, identifiable as being that of a much older person, passes through the barrier of students, asking for permission to pass even though she is shoving the students with her shoulders.

In that short space of time, Thanos got off Myung-Gi and waited for him to get up. He ran his hands through his clothes to recompose himself, his colored nails stretching his tousled strands of purple hair as his forehead wrinkled when he saw the woman who had just shouted.

“Please, children! The day has barely started and I am already confronted with such things this early in the morning?” The old woman rolled her eyes at the two delinquents in front of her with a frown. Her manner of speaking really had an angry intonation.

“Miss Geum-Ja, I didn't…” Choi is interrupted by the teacher, making him clench his teeth in front of the beta woman, his blue irises directed at Lee with a very unfriendly face. It's all that idiot's fault .

“I don't want to hear any excuses. It's not the first time I've called you out for getting into trouble like this, Mr. Su-Bong.” The woman put her fingers on her eyelids, rubbing them slowly with every word that came out of her mouth. “You both go immediately to the principal's office.”

“What?! That's not fair!” Myung-Gi replied, gesturing with his hands to show his anger. Thanos rolled his eyes when he heard that, the alpha was to blame for everything that had happened there. If he had followed Thanos' orders and not defied him, none of this would have happened.

The students around them, who seemed to be increasing in number, let out sad sighs when the bell rang again, signaling the start of another class they would have to attend. They began to leave little by little. That was good, then there wouldn't be so many people to satisfy.

Thanos just watched the scene with his arms crossed, sometimes turning his head to the left, muttering swear words in English, or biting his snake bites or even playing with his cross necklace out of nervousness.

“Nothing is fair in life, son.” The look of helplessness and confusion on the youtuber's face almost made Thanos laugh out loud, but the alpha would never give the black-haired boy that kind of satisfaction, so he decided to keep quiet for now. 

The beta teacher straightens up once more, turns her body at a ninety-degree angle and walks off, probably to attend her next Korean lesson.

The two alphas were now standing in the corridor and at least one of them seemed to be genuinely thinking about what to do.

Su-Bong grumbled again, letting out a “Son of a bitch..” before his feet began to move on their own, his head tilted downwards. He already had the route to the principal's office mapped out in his mind, after all...he'd been there many times, for the good and the bad, but he always seemed to get away with it.

Neither of them bothered to speak to each other, as Myung-Gi just decided to follow Thanos quietly, and after perhaps a minute and a few turns around the halls, the two of them found a wooden door with a gold patchwork sign that read “Principal” in black letters.

Thanos knocked on the door twice, waiting, until a “Come in!” came from inside the room in a penetrating, deep, very masculine voice.

Without much delay, the alpha leader put his hand on the doorknob, turned it without much effort and entered the room. A faint smell of alcohol, liquor is the scent of the principal's pheromones, suddenly entering the nostrils of the two students.

 

                         “ Fly me to the moon

                          Let me play among the stars

                          Let me see what spring is like 

                          On-a Jupiter and Mars

 

Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra is the first thing they hear playing softly on a record player in the background. It appears to be a calm environment, where the natural light coming through the large glass window behind the director illuminates everything around him.

In front of the director's desk, where you can see various papers scattered around, there are two chairs, almost as if fate already knew that Thanos and Myung-Gi would end up there.

Choi soon sat down in the chair closest to him, the one on the left, while Lee occupied the other. The two students looked at the principal, a short but muscular alpha, swiveling in his black, padded chair with his phone next to his ear. 

It wasn't possible to hear what the person on the other side was saying, but from what the man talked about, he seemed to be reserving something.

“All right, Choi Su-Bong and Lee Myung-Gi..” Suddenly, In-Ho put his phone down on the table, as if his conversation with the other person on the other side of the line had only lasted a second. Thanos tried very hard not to laugh when his eyes flicked to the still-on screen of the older alpha's phone, the call still in progress. However, his amusement was short-lived when he saw the face of the man in front of him again, his hands intertwined and his eyes seeming to study the two teenagers who had been sent before him. “Do you want to explain to me what  were you doing fighting?”

How did he already know that? The gossip in this school spreads very quickly, my gosh .

A continuous silence, in which neither of the boys was able to look the principal in the eye and tell him what had really happened earlier. Thanos didn't do it because he didn't have much to say, In-Ho would understand for sure. But he couldn't understand why Myung-Gi remained silent. He could have snitched right there, but he didn't. Why?

“Right. Since neither of you will explain why what happened happened, your parents will know what happened, Mr. Myung-Gi, and you will be grounded. Since you're already eighteen, Mr. Su-Bong, I'll just have to ground you. You should be careful what you do in the corridors, especially with new students like Mr. Lee Myung-Gi.”

Okay...what the fuck? Normally In-Ho didn't do this kind of thing with Thanos, so what changed? He was indignant now, too much so. Was it because it was Myung-Gi? What's so special about this kid anyway? Fuck's sake .

“There's no need to warn my parents, mister In-Ho. We're all grown up now, so we can very well handle the consequences of our actions on our own. Just ground me.” The black-haired alpha said without moving a muscle, except for his jaw, staring at the ground between his spread legs with an unknown interest.

Thanos couldn't help but notice the way In-Ho nodded proudly. Seriously now, what the hell is happening? Why is Myung-Gi being treated so well?

Then In-Ho looks at them both and leans back in his chair, turning it slowly from left to right. He arranges some of the papers on the table with one hand, thoughtfully.

“Well, I'm glad to hear that you're both willing to cover what you've done and take responsibility. I won't inform your parents, Myung-Gi, but be warned that I may do so if this happens again.”  Lee sighs with relief discreetly while Thanos maintains a neutral expression, the one he's always had since entering In-Ho's office, forgetting the part he almost wanted to laugh. “Your punishment will take place tomorrow, which means you've received detention. I hope I don't regret my final decision, now you two can go.”

They both stood up at the same time and when he realized this, Thanos rushed out of the room before the younger alpha, his emotions calmed, but his thoughts never left that damned youtuber who had been parachuted into his school.

 

“Shit..”

“Relax, it's not that bad. It's just a detention, chill out.” Nam-Gyu says, placing a hand on the alpha's arm and rubbing the area intimately, something they're both already accustomed to.

“Yeah, Thanos. That's not such a big deal. Besides, you've done worse things before and never had any major consequences. Two hours in detention is a piece of cake, it'll pass quickly.”

“You're not helping, Gyeong-Su. And it's not going to pass quickly, not even for a second!” The purple-haired one exclaimed loudly, frustrated by the situation. Before, he seemed fine, he didn't feel any kind of negative emotion and suddenly the thought of being in detention made him feel a knot forming in his throat, tightening more and more as his thoughts sank into it.

“And why is that?” Min-su asks in a low voice so as not to cause a fuss around him, which Choi is very grateful for. It's good to have a friend like that for these kinds of situations.

“Because that fucking youtuber is going to be locked in there with me for two hours.” Just saying the word youtuber out loud and associating it with that fuckhead of Myung-Gi made him growl so loudly that he ended up scaring some of the beta-students who passed by the group. His entire group of friends seemed to exchange quick glances with each other, sending silent messages with a mere gesture, which only increased Thanos' irritation.

“I don't understand Morse code, don't you want to say it out loud?”

Some of them just smiled while others just shrugged, making Su-Bong roll his eyes.

“Just make sure you don't kill him, alright?” Se-Mi replied, smiling sideways and biting the tip of her thumb, her dark eyes shining with mockery at her friend.

“No promises..”
