Kill Me Protect Me, Mr. Bodyguard

After they got back from eating ice cream, they took turns using the bathroom to clean themselves up. Ivan went to another room that he had just rented because this afternoon he had only checked in for Daren.

"Why did you choose to check in a room with one bed? Why not a double bed? If I sleep on this bed, where will you sleep?" Daren asked.

"Never mind that, I can just sleep on the sofa. You just sleep in your place," Axel replied as he went into the bathroom after Daren finished using it. "Don't go anywhere until I'm done showering."

"I know, I'll stay here," he replied and turned on the television while lying on the bed.

Soon there was the sound of the shower turning on from inside the bathroom. Axel soaked his body and black hair after a long day of work watching over Daren, a man from a wealthy family.

The cold water cascaded down his body, taking his tiredness away. His eyes were closed, letting the water hit his face.

After his shower, Axel wrapped a towel around his waist and realized that he had forgotten to take clean clothes.

"Damn, how can i forget..." He came out of the bathroom wearing only his towel.

Daren who was eating dinner on his bed was immediately surprised to see his bodyguard who came out without clothes. He could see the man's big body with muscles and even the water that was still dripping down from his hair and flowing down to his abs.

"Wh-what are you doing?! Why aren't you wearing clothes?" asked Daren in surprise when he saw the man wearing only his towel. His face turned red when he saw the Alpha looking like that.

They were men, but Daren was an Omega. There was little difference between them, especially when looking at Axel who was not wearing anything.

"I'm just going to get my bag," he replied, grabbing his black bag and heading back into the bathroom.

When the man turned around, Daren gasped in surprise as he noticed several scars on the man's back. Scars that had been there for a very long time but had left scars on his body.

'Why does his back have so many scars?' Daren thought in confusion.

"Are they from his training as a bodyguard at his agency? But is it that severe that it has to leave marks like slash marks."

Not wanting to think too much about it and feeling it was impossible for him to ask that question, Daren continued eating his dinner while watching television.

But the image of Axel's body seemed to have difficulty leaving Daren's mind which made his face turn red again.

"Damn."

In the middle of the night when he was asleep, Daren woke up because he felt like going to the bathroom. As he got out of bed, he realized that Axel wasn't on the couch.

"Huh? Where is he?" The Omega walked over to the sofa while looking around the room. His blue eyes then fell on the balcony of their hotel room.

The glass balcony door showed Axel who was leaning against the guardrail while looking around the hotel.

"What's he doing there?" Daren approached the balcony door and intended to slide it open.

But he realized that Axel was staring at a photograph in his hand. He couldn't see exactly what it was, but from the way Axel was looking at it, Daren could tell it was a picture of someone precious to the Alpha.

"Why are you up in the middle of the night like this?" Axel asked as he put the photo he was holding into his pants pocket then turned to look at his young master.

"I... Just woke up to use the bathroom. What are you doing? You didn't sleep yourself," he replied.

"I was just getting some fresh air."

The blond man nodded and went to the bathroom. When he came out of the bathroom, Axel had just closed the balcony door and locked it.

They passed each other and their eyes met. Daren looked at Axel questioningly, there were so many things he really wanted to know from his bodyguard.

Was money really his main reason for working for him?

Then what's with the scars? Why would a man like him have so many scars?

And also...

'His eyes... He looked at me with those eyes again. Those brown eyes that were so mysterious and so sharp. Eyes that seemed to be able to devour me anytime even when I was ready,' Daren thought.

"Are you done with your business in the bathroom?"

"Huh? Yes, I'm done. Do you want to use it?" the Omega asked back.

"No, you go back to sleep. It's a long day tomorrow. You have a lot of places you want to visit, don't you?" Axel asked as he sat down on the sofa.

"It's true, I'm going back to sleep. You should rest too, you'll be my and Ivan's driver tomorrow!" replied Daren in a teasing tone.

His eyes glanced at Daren who was standing nearby at the moment.

"I know."

The next morning, Ivan took Daren to the magic fountain as requested by the man. Taking a car, they drove to the place and arrived at a large garden area with lots of flowers.

"So this is the place? Nice place to have a picnic and relax," Daren said as he looked around them.

The green grass, the children running around happily in the park. Daren smiled at the children who seemed to be playing freely here and there.

"The fountain over there," Ivan pointed to a large fountain in the center of the park.

The three of them walked towards the place and saw a beautiful fountain. The water gushed so low and occasionally gushed high and fast and then subsided again.

"People here believe that this fountain can bring good luck and grant the wishes of anyone who throws a coin into it," explained the Beta to his Omega friend.

"Really? I want to try it." Daren searched for coins in his pants pocket.

Axel, on the other hand, didn't think it was possible. He didn't believe in such so-called magic and nonsense.

Daren found a coin and held it in his hand. 'I wish to find my freedom. Free from all the things my parents want and able to do what I want. Give me a clue to that,' Daren said to himself as he tossed the coin.

Blup...

The coin fell into the pool of the fountain and at the same time, as if his prayers were heard, the fountain broke the water at a great height.

The man was amazed to see the water splashing on him like a light rain.

And once the fountain subsided again, he saw Axel standing before him. Across from where he was standing, which had been covered by the huge water earlier.

It was as if the fountain immediately gave him an answer to his wish.

"Axel?"
