118 Zian Mccarthy

* * *

Days had passed and life went on as usual however unlike before where Fyre and Tian Zi used to live separately, they had finally moved together just like they had planned in a private villa located in a very secure area not too far drive from the main city. It was a little regretful on Fyre's side that he had to leave the place he called home for the past 10 years but he was also excited about the new life he was going to spend with Tian Zi from now on.

Of course, not everything would be flowers and rainbows but he promised he would strive harder to be more understanding of his lover and vice versa, as Tian Zi will continue to become more patient with him until they get used to life together.

Needless to say, a gathering was held at the new house to further celebrate the couple's relationship and their union in the near future. Everyone was so happy for them, especially Mr. and Mrs. Mo who almost lost all their hope when Tian Zi had been stubborn about being in a relationship all these years. And that for the past years being with Fyre, who was an Omega, nothing was happening! Everyone almost believed it was all hopeless but now the two were finally making progress together. Although it was unfortunate that Fyre didn't get pregnant as the elders had secretly hoped for, they were both happy that the two were finally a couple of steps closer to such an outcome.

Surely, if the two spend more time together, this dream would not be so far in the future. Of course, at this point, no one was aware of the fact that Fyre had a condition that it would be difficult for him to get pregnant. Fyre and Tian Zi decided against it in order to not worry the elders who were happy about their relationship. Obviously, this was also not to put further pressure on Fyre already, which both Laotian and Hanlu agreed upon when their little brother asked for advice. Hanlu also added to make Fyre quit acting and just focus on cohabiting, for now, but Tian Zi no longer listened since he knew having something that occupy the Omega's mind will help him forget the situation as they wait for the right time.

That aside, after the big move, the days spent together were rather fulfilling. Since they have similar hobbies and both of them are homebodies, bonding wasn't difficult that they became inseparable as they did almost everything together. They've long passed the awkward stage of their relationship because they were initially friends before becoming lovers. Well, naturally they still bicker just as much as they made love. But despite that, they supported and encouraged each other, making them even closer than they were before. And just like that months had passed until the day when they were supposed to spend less time together had come.

Ever since the day when the cast of the movie Fyre was in had officially announced all the actors and actresses and their roles in the movie during this huge press conference, Tian Zi had been helping Fyre with his script every day as both the Omega's supportive partner and personal assistant. Fyre does not know yet that he had accepted the job but he was glad he made such a decision because he knew that from here on, his lover will be treated as if he was a movie star, not just locally but also internationally as the light novel had a huge audience.

[@flowerbaby05 Finally! Moonlight will officially start filming today. I am so excited. When I heard Fyre Long was going to act as the main lead, I thought they were gonna spend a couple more months preparing for his part but oh my God!!! He's so good already! Just like I had thought before, he's so beautiful and he and the male lead looked so good together!]

[@littlebunhoney I was mad at first that Duke was no longer in the movie but knowing that he's so busy and has other projects he's already working on, it's reasonable he'd reject Moonlight even if it's a good and huge project to take. Thankfully, it opened up a big opportunity for Apollo. Gosh, even his name sounds so hot. I know he's not in a match against Duke, but damn he's so hot.]

[@6747butterfly @littlebunhoney I completely agree. He's making me cheat on my baby Duke. The way he looked at Fyre during that screenplay, he was sooo good in acting that he actually looked like he had fallen in love.]

[@MoonlghtSeriesfan Ahh, no wonder co-stars always end up falling in love after the movie. I mean, who wouldn't? If it were me, I'd be simping as well.]

[@Stargazer25 SAMEE!!! Duke is still my number one but Apollo, he's growing in me. He's sooo sexy.]

"Hey, what are you so busy over there? Aren't you supposed to read your script or maybe get out of here and go to your own room?" Fyre scolded the person who was leisurely laying on the couch not far from where he was sitting while his face was being painted on with a different makeup for his 5th scene later. Honestly, he didn't know why the man just had to stay in his room. Ever since he came to him and made peace, he had stuck to him like glue to the point that he had become so annoying.

"Tsk! Sexy my ass. I'm sexier and more handsome than that amateur. I can't believe they chose him in exchange for me. Urg, if not only for that hateful someone who requested me out of the movie, all of this would not have happened. All this attention would have been mine," Duke Davidson complained and obviously, his words were targeting Fyre who later rolled his eyes hearing such drama again. He had been like ever since they've gotten 'close' that he didn't know if the man actually wanted to be friends with him or not.

"Just shut up and leave already! I have to focus and make sure I've memorized my script!" Fyre yelled, making Victor and the rest chuckle at their constant bickers.

"You two really get along well, I just hope Mr. Fiancé isn't the jealous type," Victor mentioned playfully, making Fyre frown in disgust. In his mind, Tian Zi was obviously way better than anyone so there was no need for the Alpha to get jealous of someone lower than him.

"Oh please, why would he? Compared to that!?" Fyre mocked, looking at Duke who had now sat up and frowned at the obvious insult. However, how could he retaliate? He saw Mo Tian Zi in person and it is true the man was slightly more handsome than him, not to mention dominant compared to him who is a recessive Alpha but there was no need for the Omega to mention it. It was an unfair comparison to begin with!

"Tch. He's just slightly better than me when it comes to face," Duke stubbornly tried to retaliate as he slightly pouted. To be honest, he doesn't really hate Fyre and he acknowledged his acting skills but sometimes, the Omega really does have a mouth that could annoy just about anyone. He really couldn't believe such a fiend could become a pretty girl in an instant as if he couldn't say a single curse.

"Slightly? You mean, he's waaaaaay better looking than you. Just admit it! My hubby is just too handsome," Fyre laughed, proudly. Truthfully, Duke wasn't that bad and he's actually very handsome—has a nice body too—but he would never admit that. But it is true that Tian Zi was way better in his opinion. Duke is handsome but nothing compares to his lover. Speaking of, the Alpha drove him to work today but he had kinda missed him a bit already. After staying indoors for nearly three months and just enjoying each other's company, suddenly being away like this kinda made him feel sad.

"Tch. Whatever! You're so annoying," Duke said in defeat as he sighed.

"Then get out of here..." Fyre sighed as well, suddenly feeling depressed at the thought of his lover. He couldn't believe that just a few months with the Alpha had made him so clingy and needy of his presence. Back at home, he always complained when Tian Zi became affectionate but now he's craving his touch.

"Fine, I'm going then... Don't come to me if you need help with your script. I won't help you," Duke pouted as he headed to the door but as he was about to twist the doorknob open, a tall man in glasses was right in front of his face that he almost jumped back feeling his menacing presence.

"What the fuck, man! You scared the shit out of me..." Duke yelled at the man but he quickly shut his mouth when Julie Walker appeared from the man's back.

"Firstly, why are you here? And secondly, you're going to increase your workout routine with that curse you just did," Julie scolded. Duke is a public image and it is her responsibility to discipline him when he becomes out of hand. Cursing isn't really a big deal for the most part but Duke's fandom consists of 80% teenage girls and young adults, it wouldn't be a good example if he's found out that he's someone that curses a lot. On one hand, she's happy that her two talents have made up and become closer but it wouldn't be good to see them together in one room, especially since he had brought someone who might want to ruin Duke's career out of jealousy.

"Ack... Noooo! I couldn't help it," Duke whined helplessly but of course, Julie was no longer listening to him as he watched the two lovers stare at each other and not jumping into each other's arms. Well, it figures because, in order to keep Mo Tian Zi's identity hidden and limit the number of people who knew him, he had changed his looks from his hairstyle, his fashion, his eye color, and even wearing skin prosthetics.

"Fyre, this is Zian McCarthy. He's going to be your assistant from now on..." Julie introduced. Meanwhile, with his heart pounding, Fyre clenched his chest confused. For reasons unknown, his gut was telling him that the person in front of him was Tian Zi but with the way he looked, he wasn't so sure.

"Nice to meet you, you can call me Zi if you want," Tian Zi smiled charmingly as he extended his hand to handshake his lover. However, as soon as he heard his voice, Fyre's eyes widened before he suddenly told everyone to briefly leave them alone in the room. Excluding Julie, everyone was confused but they eventually complied and left the two alone.

When it was finally just the two of them, Fyre quickly rushed to the door and locked it before he turned around at his smirking fiance.

"What in the world are you doing, Zi?" Fyre asked and this time took a step closer to touch the Alpha's altered face. Tian Zi may have changed his face somehow but pheromones won't lie. He and Tian Zi had bonded so there was no way he couldn't tell it was Tian Zi.

"You caught me. Did you recognize my scent?" Tian Zi chuckled. He tried his best to hide his pheromones but in the end, it was useless against his mate.

"Yes, I did. What did you put on your face? Does this hurt?" Fyre bombarded and quickly snatched the Alpha's glasses to clearly look at his face because it looked and felt so real as if he had undergone plastic surgery or injections. But then again that was impossible since they were just together this morning. There was no doubt he still looked handsome but Fyre liked the Alpha's original face more. It's really weird to see and hear Tian Zi and yet his face looked different.

"No, these are just prosthetics customized to be attached to my face. I had to do it in order to be with you. Even though no one knows my face, people will eventually recognize me and it might cause a problem. Anyway, this way no one would mind us," Tian Zi chuckled again before he lifted Fyre into his arms and walked to the couch where they sat, with Fyre on his lap. Meanwhile, hearing the Alpha, Fyre pouted but still acted angry despite the blush on his cheeks. Needless to say, he wasn't really angry or upset, he's more like very touched seeing the Alpha go this far for him but he wished Tian Zi had told him beforehand.
