Markus was still startled when someone talked to him, looking towards Bing. Eyes such a light brown they could almost be golden.
“Ah- uhm. I’m alright.”, he replied, smiling softly at Bing. He was just dreading going home, but he couldn’t say that. He tugged at his long sleeves, making sure they covered his palms still, before grabbing the fork for his cake again.“Sorry for taking up a whole table for myself. I’ll be done soon.”, he said quietly then.
“Don’t rush yourself, wouldn’t want you getting sick. Would you mind if I sit with you,” he asks softly, not wanting to impose on the omega. He was an alpha, but much more soft spoken and gentle than others. It might have helped that he was adopted by an omega pair when he was a child.
“You can say no if you’d like, I don’t mind. I just saw that you were a bit upset. I tend to care about people too much,” he said laughing softly.
“I don’t mind if you do…”, Markus mumbled in reply. He was bad at saying no, even when he was alone. Alphas in general scared him as well, from pretty much only negative experiences with them. So even though Bing was soft and gentle, he scared him.
He continued quietly eating his cake, taking sips of his drink.
