Thank you so much for this explanation! I was really loving this now even more! Can wait for next chapters! So again thank you!
I hope you are right...these omegaverse pair bonds (not fated pairs, just the regular ones) always seem one sided...the omega can never have sex with another after being bitten and on the upside their heats won't affect other alphas so fear of rape is reduced; but the alpha seems unaffected..they can screw whomever and ditch their pair without physical side effects. At least in this story the alpha is attracted to the mate whose face he forgot.
thank you !!!! Do you have the raw link? somebody has shared a facebook link in the comments but its not working.
I found it forget my last comment :)
Loooooooooooveee this comment!
Ok, for those of you who have read the Raws, you have all probably pieced together one and one. For those who haven't, or can't understand it, I will try my best here to tell it how it seems to be.
Note, first, my disclaimer: I am not a native fluent speaker of Japanese, I merely know enough to read it and understand roughly what is being said, so I can be a bit wrong about who said what first. So if you still want to be spoiled anyway, read on (I will also cover why the alpha doesn't remember): IF YOU DON'T want to be spoiled, click the back button on the top left hand side of your browser, thanks! :)
The whole story:
<spoiler>We must begin a few years back, when the uke was still a student, working as an errand boy for the parties that the dating company hosted. It was at such an event that our uke and seme met for the very first time.
Kairi was working as a waiter for a soiree on a luxury cruise that was hosted by the company. He was taken aback by Jinguuji when he first saw him in the crowd, but thought nothing of it (ok, so it was more like the uke was thinking, "Man, I'd like him to tap me *sparkly eyes* but nah, we come from different worlds').
So the night goes on all ok, and Kairi is in the men's room freshening up. Then Jinguuji stumbles in drunk and kinda' sick. Kairi asks if he would like some help. Jinguuji tells him he needs a bit of help going back to his room, so Kairi helps. However, he is in heat (or did Jinguuji trigger his heat? Something along those lines), and Jinguuji is also feeling that Kairi is pretty (,)cute and tap-able. They reach his room, and Kairi asks Jinguuji to do him.
Kairi feels like he was using Jinguuji the entire time, because even as they screwed, Jinguuji kept on saying sweet things like, "Move in with me", "Marry me" and other responsible, proposal-like things. Since he was the one who asked a drunk alpha to screw him, Kairi felt like he was entrapping Jinguuji. That, and I think social differences had him thinking he was unworthy of the Alpha. So throughout their lovemaking, Kairi repeatedly asked Jinguuji to "please forget me". Looks like Jinguuji did. Kairi ended up becoming pregnant with Senri as a result, and fast forward to now (5 years? later), he's determined to make Jinguuji marry well.
It's a bit bittersweet that Kairi thinks just that one night and his child is enough for him. He doesn't think he's good enough to be with Jinguuji, which is why he tries to find someone "suitable" for him.
It is later on revealed from Jinguuji's perspective that although he had forgotten the details of that night, he had not forgotten that he had mated someone that night. He also seems to have remembered some key features? From the raws, he seems to have remembered his voice and his small stature? So Jinguuji refused a lot of marriage proposals because none of them brought back the feelings from that night nor matched what he remembered of his partner. He seems to have been searching for that one omega he scewed on the boat...something about the scent being right? Not too clear on that...<spoiler>
But yeah, I'm done my only half-accurate spoil-rant. Again, I have to reiterate that I'm not a native speaker of Japanese, nor am I even fluent in it.
