Chapter 75: 73 | Coincidence

[The thief who stole my heart finally compensated me with his own. (Image attached)]

It was around evening when people were returning back to their homes after classes or going out to drink and relax when Winter posted such a thing on every single one of his social media accounts, spreading it amongst hundreds of millions of people.

The image attached to the nonsense post was a picture of Winter and Blue taken on the morning before they even sealed their relationship. Blue had been asleep, and Winter had been resting his head on top of Blue’s chest.

Blue looked like a sleeping angel with an innocent face. Winter looked like a ball of sunshine. The picture was a really good one.

Good enough to spike jealousy in the hearts of many.

[This can’t be happening, can it? Sunshine Prince and Ice King? No way. There’s no way...]

[How dare that Ice King!? He stole Sunshine Prince from us!]

[Same Ice King who always bad mouths Alphas is now spreading his cheeks for Sunshine Prince? Plot twist.]

[Wonder the kind of jazz Sunshine Prince used.]

[I wish I could be happy for them but all Ice King has done is wrong to Alphas. Now he gets to have a prince charming like Sunshine Prince? No fair.]

[No...]

[I don’t get why people are against the two of them. They’re both hot people. Their relationship is kinda none of our business.]

[Upstairs, fuck you. I’ve dedicated three years into getting Sunshine Prince to know me. Ice King has dedicated more years into trying to prove all Alphas are scum. Why should he get the sweetest Alpha of all time??]

[I did not need to know this new information. Not cool.]

[I don’t dig this relationship dynamic. I feel like Ice King might just be using Sunshine Prince for some social experiment to prove that all Alphas are still the same. Can someone relate?]

[I can totally relate, upstairs. The relationship should be toxic with Ice King’s aggressiveness and Sunshine Prince’s purity. I feel sad for my fellow Alpha.]

[It’s so weird. How did Sunshine Prince even fall in love with Ice King? Where do they even know each other from?? Never seen them together anywhere at all! So how??]

While everyone in the world was busy criticizing their new relationship, Blue and Winter were both busy (naked) inside Winter’s indoor pool.

Sensual music was playing in the background while the both of them shared wine in the pool as they conversed.

"So, tell me, when did you start liking me?" Winter shamelessly asked Blue, looking forward to his answer.

Blue didn’t respond immediately. This was because he, himself, was trying to remember when, how, and why he even liked Winter to begin with.

"Um... I’m not really sure. I think my subconscious mind accepted you earlier than the rest of me. So, maybe around the time we started our sessions." Blue confessed after thinking.

That was around the time where Winter as an imaginary man had been plaguing his thoughts and lonely nights.

"Woah, for that long?" Winter was astounded, finding it hard to believe that Blue had subconsciously liked him all that time whilst pretending that Winter was nothing but an annoying thorn stuck to his side.

"I said my subconscious mind. Not me." Blue splashed Winter water to his face, evoking a chuckle from the latter.

Of course, Winter got his revenge, causing a small splash to happen right on Blue’s chest. They tossed water on each other for a while before sobering up and sipping their drinks.

With a wine glass in Blue’s hand, he directed a question to Winter.

"What about you? When did you start wanting me? In fact, when did you first notice me?"

Blue could only remember Winter suddenly being everywhere in his life. When had it been triggered?

Winter smiled mischievously and said, "You don’t wanna know."

Blue frowned a bit as he said, "Of course, I do. I wouldn’t have asked you if I didn’t."

"Well, I’m telling you this, you truly don’t wanna know. Will you be able to handle the information?" Winter was reaching to touch Blue’s face as he said this.

However, Blue slapped his hand away the second he made contact and aggressively said, "Just tell me and stop teasing."

Winter had no choice but to laugh and confess.

There was a deep look in his eyes as he said, "I guess from the moment I first saw you."

Blue raised his brows in curiosity, displaying that he had clearly forgotten their first meeting. Winter’s shoulder slumped when he realized this—Blue really didn’t regard him as a person back then.

"You know, you’re really hot. One look and a poor Alpha has no choice but to be attracted." Winter said with a feigned pitiful tone.

Blue rolled his eyes at Winter’s theatrics. However, Winter didn’t stop there with the admission of their first encounter being when he began to want Blue.

"Remember one particular Alpha trying to embarrass you in Dot’s Café because of something you said in some interview?" Winter questioned.

Blue has had plenty of encounters like that so it took almost a full minute for him to fully remember the specific one in which Winter had been a part of.

"You stayed behind to apologize for the scumbag." Blue said, Winter nodded.

"Had to keep up with my reputation," Winter lamely excused, then said, "I liked how fierce you were. Went to the forum to find out more about an Omega like you but I couldn’t find anything. Come to think of it..." Winter suddenly trailed off.

From the start, he’d been madly interested in Blue, but after he couldn’t find any information about him, Winter had moved on. Until their paths collided once again at the Empowerment club.

Winter could now remember that when he’d checked in for keywords like, ’feisty Omega’, ’inky-black hair’, ’hates Alphas’, on the forum in search for Blue, he hadn’t seen Blue’s name in particular.

Yes, he’d found people talking about such a person, but they had all been referring to the person as ’Ice King’. Back then, he’d had no idea that Blue was that Ice King.

If he had, he might have started his hunt differently. But it was weird how the universe worked. It still brought them together despite such an oddity that might have just ended up as a ’coincidence’.

Winter silently appreciated the doings of fate that he’d had on his side all along.
