A sleepy Phukan yawns and stares blearily down at the underwear in his hand. "Wednesday," He mutters to himself. "Wednesday is green." He keeps the appropriate underwear out and stuffs the rest back in the drawer. Then he stumbles to the shower to try to wake himself up. After he dresses he grabs his phone and sees that there is a new text from the reason he had barely gotten any sleep last night.

P'Cir: Can I drive Phu to school today?

Phu is just about to respond with a yes when he remembers.

Phu: I can't go with Phi today. Jin is picking me up this morning.

There was a long pause and then

P'Cir: Why is Jin picking you up today?

Phu: We are going to the movies after class. Then to eat.

P'Cir: I don't like it.

Phu: Why, is P'Cir jealous?

P'Cir: Yes.

Phu's eyes grow wide at this, he had been teasing the senior. Was he really jealous of Jin?

Phu: P'Cir, Jin is my friend. There is nothing between us.

P'Cir: Still jealous.

Phu can't help a small smile. This slightly sulky side of the alpha is kind of cute.

Phu: Phu will ride with P'Cir tomorrow, I promise.

P'Cir: Fine, make sure you eat breakfast and study hard.

Phu sends him back a cute "okay" sticker.

Cirrus glares at his phone like it's the phone's fault he can't drive Phu to school today. The logical part of his brain tells him there is no reason to be jealous of the omega's friends, but the fact is he's waited so long, he just wants to have Phu to himself.

"You're being selfish enough by pursuing Phu, he should be able to enjoy his time with his friends." he tells himself. That doesn't mean he likes it though.

At least he already has Phu's promise to ride with him tomorrow. That makes him smile.

Cirrus spends the morning working. He is on medical leave from classes this week but that doesn't mean his time is his own. For the last few years, even before he decided to pursue Phukan, he has been putting some plans of his own into place. The woman likes to think that Cirrus is her property, and he will do whatever she says for fear she will cut him off, penniless. However, the days when she could rule him with fear of any kind have long passed.

Now it's more important than ever that he gains his independence, he hadn't needed his father's warning that the woman wouldn't be happy with his choice of mates. The only way this will work is if he finds a way to get away from her once and for all. In one way he's lucky, Cirrus's grandfather had left him a small inheritance that the woman has no control over. It wasn't enough to live on, but it was enough to allow him to put his plans into motion.

Cirrus works through the morning and the next time he glances at the clock it's midafternoon. Phu will be in his afternoon classes by now. Cirrus glances out the window and notices the sky is growing thick with clouds. He frowns and pulls up the weather report for the evening. It's going to rain, and he knows a certain omega that never remembers his umbrella. He quickly grabs his keys and a spare umbrella before heading out the door.

Phu's final class of the day finishes before Jin's, so he decides to wait for his friends in the upstairs student lounge. He just grabs a bottle of green tea from the vending machine and sits down when his friend Nalin comes in.
