Pit Babe - Special 3: Uncle Alan
** * * * *
Alan always thought that the best way to relax during the holidays, after being busy with the team or the stadium, was to stay at home, take Bubu for a walk and play, then sip afternoon tea while reading a good book. Just doing that, it feels like heaven. But that was it before he saw the real heaven.
A thirty-eight year old man with a small smile and a big smile sat on a beach chair next to a swimming pool with a mixture of colorful fruit juices. He watched the boy swing his legs and arms in his swimming pool excitedly, without knowing why he was so happy. Yes, the child had fun playing and swimming like that.
“What are you smiling about, uncle?”
Jeff came to the edge of the pool and asked the old man in a calm voice. At this time, the young man only wore swimming trunks on his body. But he wasn’t shy, even though he showed his body in front of him.
“You’re a good swimmer” Alan answered with a smile, while Jeff just pursed his lips, a little annoyed by the old man’s overly happy expression.
Alan was surprised why he was smiling like that. Whether it was because of how grateful he was that Jeff came to visit the house or not, because this was not the first time the child had come and played here. But what is certain is that Alan always looks happy when he comes.
It was like having a niece come to visit. Living alone with a dog feels lonely in this big house.
“I’m thirsty” was all Jeff said in less than five seconds. The person who usually lay on the beach chair immediately ran to the edge of the pool to get cold juice.
“Would you like some dessert?”
“No, that would make me choke” the younger man replied, before casually sucking on the juice. As for Alan, he slowly sat beside the pool and relaxed. He lowered his feet into the water and looked at Jeff whose skin now looked a little paler than before. His black hair was wet and messy, but it made him look very attractive. “Uncle, aren’t you going to come down and swim too?”
“Do you want me to come down too?”
“No, I just asked.”
Alan frowned seeing Jeff’s always cold attitude. At first he thought that the young man was being cold to him because they weren’t close yet. But after knowing each other for a year and spending quite a bit of time together, he knew about Jeff, and Jeff knew about Alan.
But up until now, that expressionless expression and tone had not changed at all.
“Are you finished?” the older asked as he moved his hand to smooth Jeff’s wet hair.
“Not yet” Jeff answered immediately, “Uncle, are you bored? You can do something else first. I can swim by myself.”
“It’s okay, I have free time today.”
“You just sit and watch me. Aren’t you bored?”
“No, it was fun” Alan laughed softly. “Do you like water that much?”
“Yes”
“Why?”
“I want to exercise. But I don’t like sweating.”
“You don’t like sweating?”
“Yeah, that would make me sticky.” Jeff answered quietly. Jeff approached Alan, and let his head rest on the old man’s leg, closing his eyes as if he wanted to rest for a while. “I want to stay in the water and feel the freshness.”
“It seems like I have to take you to the sea.”
“I’ve planned on going before but I never did.”
“You want to go there with me?”
“Uncle, are you going to take me?”
“Oh, if you want to go, I can take you there.”
Jeff chuckled while still closing his eyes on Alan’s lap who was sitting on the edge of the pool. Meanwhile, Alan continued to persist and play with the little boy’s wet hair, as if he never got bored.
“Do you know anything?” said the little omega after a moment of silence.
“Hm?”
“One day my friends in the group were talking about it.”
“Talking about what?”
“They said I had a sugar daddy.”
“Hah?” Alan exclaimed, surprised to hear this, in contrast to Jeff, who didn’t look annoyed at all. The little boy opened his eyes and slowly lifted his head from his strong legs and looked at Alan with a completely normal expression, different from Alan’s, his brows furrowed, “Who said that?”
“I don’t know. They told it to a lot of people” Jeff shrugged nonchalantly as he drew his hand slowly along the surface of the water, as if there was no shaking. “Maybe the whole group?”
“Damn, how could they say something like that?”
“They probably saw you often coming to pick me up, so they thought you were my sugar daddy.”
Alan was silent. Right now he is very upset because Jeff is being underestimated by other people.
Even so, he was angry that those kids judged everything based on their own narrow ideas, not caring about how it would affect the feelings of the people they saw, but at the same time… he was angry at himself for not thinking about this before.
“So you didn’t tell them that I’m not your sugar daddy?” asked the tall young man with an impatient expression on his face. Jeff had to move his hands to gently squeeze his partner’s thighs.
“Who should I tell? they have passed it on to everyone.”
“What about your friends? Your best friend?”
“They already know that you’re Charlie’s friend” Jeff tried to answer calmly because he knew there were people who were more worried than him. And now Jeff wasn’t sure, was he right in choosing to tell Alan about this? “But that’s all. What others want to think, they can. Even if I said that, they would probably just say that I was just making an excuse so I didn’t do it.”
“But they misunderstood you.”
“I don’t care.
“But I care.”
“Why? Don’t you want others to think you are my bodyguard?”
Jeff looked up and met Alan’s eyes. Clear eyes and a wet face were the only thing he saw now and there was no indication that Jeff felt bad. The young man just wanted to tell Alan that like he always did, but this really annoyed him.
Because of him, Jeff had to face all those cruel words because of her.
“I’m not telling you this to make you feel guilty” the younger man said in a serious tone
Alan just looked at him with furrowed brows and refused to say anything
“I just wanted to tell you like anything else.”
“So you’re not angry at all?” Alan asked quietly because he didn’t understand why Jeff was still calm about this. “Don’t you think it’s unfair if other people say that when you have to work part time? You even have to maintain your grades and apply for scholarships every year, but other people go around saying that you are a spoiled rich kid?!”
“Absolutely not.”
“Why are you being so nice?”
“I’m not being nice, but I don’t think having a sugar daddy is bad” Jeff shrugged, smiling a little as if the words couldn’t make him feel a little depressed. “If I had someone looking after me, wouldn’t that be great? Being looked after and cared for by someone, as long as it’s not stealing other people’s things, I think it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“….”
“Besides, the person who will be mistaken for my sugar daddy is you. That way, there will be no more problems.”
“Oh, why?”
“Because you are not anyone’s husband.” Jeff answered with a straight face, while Alan who heard it was silent for a moment before finally laughing out loud. Because of his way of thinking, Jeff’s frustration disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“When you will became my sugar daddy, I will not mind at all.”
“Does that mean if it was someone else you would mind?”
“Depends” the little omega answered, looking thoughtful. “If it was Charlie, I would be stressed and upset and I would have to be quick to deny and correct the news quickly.”
“Because he is someone’s husband?”
“Yes, and he’s my brother. I want to vomit. It’s a sin.”
Jeff answered with a confused expression on his face. This would come up all the time and people would think that Charlie was Jeff’s boyfriend because these two people didn’t look alike, in fact they were almost the same age. Plus, they are so close that when they go out and hang out together, the two are often misunderstood.
“But, I’m also your big brother.”
“It’s not the same.”
“How could it not be like this?”
“You’re a different type of brother than Charlie.”
“What does it mean?” Alan asked, raising his eyebrows, wondering at his words.
“It means Charlie is a big brother who is actually a big brother crawling with each other.”
“And I?”
“You’re like…” Jeff looked thoughtful. It was like he was trying to think of an explanation that could be easily understood. “Like a close older brother but you’re not my brother.”
“Then why can’t I be your brother?”
“Because I already have Charlie. And I really don’t want to have another sibling.”
“So you don’t want a sibling?”
“Yes.” The little boy immediately nodded. “And you’d rather just have Charlie?”
“That’s right.”
“And he’s older too.”
“You don’t need to explain this, I already knew it a long time ago.” Alan faked a smile. The cute expression on his face made Jeff giggle gratefully. In fact, the young man didn’t think Alan’s age was a problem. doesn’t look that old. But the person who likes to show off his age the most is Alan himself. The other party likes to act like a grandfather, even though he is still very young “If you weren’t this old, the kid would think you were my boyfriend, not my sugar daddy.”
“Possible.”
“Or should you not go anywhere with me?”
“I told you, I don’t care. If someone says something, just say it. Uncle, you can stop thinking too much,” Jeff replied with a hint of annoyance in his voice because Alan was still thinking too much. Although he thinks it’s not a big problem at all. “If I tell you about me and you react like this, from now on, I won’t tell you anything.”
“Oh, no, no,” Alan quickly denied. “I didn’t think too much.”
“Is it true?”
“Really” the older man confirmed with a smile on his face. “I didn’t think anything of it, but wanted you to let me tell you anyway. You can’t keep secrets.”
“Well, don’t let you show me how upset you are again, uncle!”
“I won’t. I promise.”
Jeff nodded before looking up at the older man’s face. What was behind that look, he couldn’t guess. Alan continued to ask, what did that look mean? But he didn’t have the courage to ask, so he just looked back at those beautiful eyes in the same way. The two of them looked at each other as Jeff’s hand slowly moved to touch the back of the tall figure’s hand, so that it was supported on the edge of the pool. And that made Alan’s heart beat uncontrollably.
He could only wonder and be confused about what Jeff was thinking. What does his gaze and attitude mean? And did he know that his upper body was naked and how attractive the water droplets running down his hair onto his face were? Damn, did Jeff know that?
“I don’t want to get wet alone. Uncle, please accompany me.”
NO!
Jeff knows nothing! He never even thought about anything!
The cunning boy had just tricked him to death to drag him into the water, even though he was still fully clothed. Damn, he shouldn’t have fallen into such a stupid trap. He shouldn’t have done it!
How much more will he have to face? However, the fact is that Jeff is a marginal child. Alan just thinks about it and that will never change. He swore he didn’t want to think anything strange about Jeff at all. But the kid likes to do things that stimulate the mind.
He shows up all the time. And the thought of Jeff continuing to do this, he would definitely go crazy one day.
..
..
“Bubu, am I crazy?” Alan asked his white dog in a shy voice, while watching Bubu eating dinner. “Bubu, I thought of it myself, didn’t I? Damn, Jeff really likes to challenge my self-control!”
The older man continued to talk to the giant Great Dane as if he was sharing the suffering of the closest person, even though he knew his beloved dog would not reply or give him any advice, but at this time Bubu was still the only place he could talk to. Alan couldn’t talk to anyone about this problem. Even if it was North, who was closest to him, it might not be a good idea.
The man always glared at him or made fun of him for a long time. As for Babe, he’s even worse. Because if Babe knew, there was no way Charlie wouldn’t know, and that would be the biggest problem. And what will he tell Jeff’s brother? Damn, what’s with this strange feeling?
“Bubu, I didn’t think about anything like that at all. I love him because he’s Charlie’s little brother,” explained Alan to Bubu with a serious expression, while the giant dog lowered his head to eat dinner seriously, “You understand, right? More or less.”
“…”
“Okay, Jeff has a cute face and a bit of a strange personality, but we can talk to each other. If there’s a problem, I can talk to him. Oh, it’s like telling a story and I feel comfortable.”
“…”
“But! But… that doesn’t mean we can do more than that, right?” Of course, no matter how much he talked about his suffering, he probably wouldn’t get any comfort in return because Bubu didn’t understand his Papa’s anxiety at all. The only interesting thing in front of him now, was just a delicious dinner. As for Alan, he didn’t know that no matter how Bubu sat with his head bowed, he would definitely feel relieved when he finished talking to her.
“Uncle! I want to dry my towel…”
Fuck!!!!
While Alan was sitting and confiding in his eldest son, someone he thought was taking a shower suddenly opened the front door of the house. But when he stepped out and stepped on Bubu’s favorite toy that was lying on the floor, of course it made a loud sound. A large Great Dane that was previously only interested in food, its ears immediately perked up.
“Bubu!”
Alan shouted his son’s name loudly in surprise when Bubu left the rice plate nonchalantly and immediately ran towards the toy where Jeff was standing. As a person who is afraid of dogs, Jeff could only stand with stiff legs as if his body system was disturbed for a moment, causing Bubu who was engrossed in the toy, to jump on top of the small body until it fell to the ground.
“Bubu! Stop!” Alan rushed over and pulled his son off Jeff by the collar. The tall young man was shocked and annoyed when Bubu jumped at Jeff. Previously, he had always been careful because he knew that Jeff was very afraid of dogs. So whenever he came here, Alan would be careful not to let Bubu wander around or get too close to Jeff. But this time he missed it. “Are you okay Jeff?”
Jeff laid still, not daring to move. The child gasped in surprise. Alan, who saw this, hurriedly took Bubu into the cage, then ran back to Jeff anxiously.
“Jeff…” The man gently helped Jeff to sit up, while the person who was attacked by the giant dog relaxed his breath, trying to regain his composure, “Are you okay? Is anyone sick?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Sorry, Bubu doesn’t usually attack other people like this. But just now he was excited to hear the sound of toys. He thought you came to play with him.”
“Oh, it is okay. I stepped on the toy myself” Jeff answered softly, but then frowned when he felt a sharp pain in his elbow. The young man raised his hand up to take a look, and as expected, his elbow was bleeding, probably because he had just fallen on his elbow first. So now there’s a little blood coming out.
“Oh, your elbow is injured!” Alan screamed louder than the injured man. He helped Jeff to his feet. Alan took the young man’s hand and immediately took him into the house. Jeff could only sigh softly seeing Alan’s worry.
When he was in the racing arena, he never felt afraid at all. Why just because his elbow was slightly injured, he acted as if the world was going to end like that.
“Wait, I’ll look for something to treat your wound” Alan grabbed Jeff and told him to sit on the sofa in the living room. Then he frantically ran to open the cupboard and found a box of first aid kits as if Jeff had little time and was about to bleed out.
“Calm down, uncle!” Jeff said softly. “It hurt even more when I kicked the edge of the bed.”
“Come on…” The old man didn’t care at all about Jeff’s embarrassed expression. He ran back to bandage the wound before sitting next to the younger man and lifting the Alcohol and cotton wool out of the box. “Raise your hand.”
“I can do it myself.”
“No, I will.”
Jeff sighed, but he raised his arm so Alan could clean the wound easily. “It will hurt a little. But the pain is just like being bitten by an ant.”
“Yeah… ants or whatever, whatever.” replied the little omega without paying attention to Alan’s comforting words usually used for children. Who knows how many times he had to repeat that he was now an adult, but when would Alan stop acting like he was still a child?!
“Does it hurt?” asked the man after wiping Jeff’s wound with cotton soaked in alcohol.
“…”
“Absolutely not?”
“…”
“You can say it hurts. You don’t have to endure it.”
“Painless!” Jeff emphasized harshly. As a result, the worried old man smiled first before he nodded lightly.
Jeff, who saw Alan’s (secretly) worried expression for him, couldn’t help but make him have to be nice to him, even though it bothered him a little, but he knew this big man was just afraid of him getting hurt.
Just like when he secretly went to help his at the mansion.
“Do you feel guilty?” asked the little omega gently. Meanwhile, the older man was applying cotton soaked in betadine to the wound with a sad facial expression, slightly lifting his face.
“Hmm…” Alan answered softly. “You happily agreed to come play at my house and I promise you that I will take good care of Bubu.”
“It’s not your fault. I walked out on my own. Even though you said that I would feed Bubu.”
“I don’t know, after all, Bubu is my dog, it’s normal if I feel guilty.” said the older man as he took out the gauze and band-aid. Then, he put it on the wound that had been smeared with medicine, then patted it gently “I’m sorry.”
“Never mind, I’m fine.”
“But you’re really scared, aren’t you?”
“I was scared, but Bubu didn’t do anything. He just came to me to play.”
“Next time I’ll chain it when you come,” Alan said in a serious tone, before sounding weaker when he said the next sentence “If you still come again.”
“Then why won’t I come?”
“Well, you’re probably afraid of Bubu.”
“I’m afraid of all dogs.”
“But Bubu is more cuddly and its size is not as big as a mouse.”
He knew Alan felt very guilty. But he really couldn’t hold back his smile because the old man’s expression now looked funny, cute, and adorable at the same time. The young man thought that apart from him, perhaps no one could see Alan from this angle. Alan was everyone’s adult. But he was a child in an adult’s body when he was with her.
“Tomorrow I will talk to him at length. Bubu is not being sweet…”
The grumpy old man stopped talking halfway. The hand holding the tape stopped when Jeff suddenly rushed over and kissed him quickly on the cheek, then pulled his face back as if nothing had happened.
However, this caused the man’s control center to malfunction for a moment, so he couldn’t do anything.
“Don’t think too much. I will come again tomorrow.”
The more Jeff said that, the crazier Alan wanted to get. He swallowed hard, before slowly raising his head to look into the eyes of the young man who was looking back at him. The man didn’t understand what was in those beautiful eyes or what they meant, but he could only hear his own heartbeat, which was beating fast and disturbingly, until his body seemed to refuse to move and made Alan sit as stiff as a rock in front of Jeff.
Even when his cute face approached, he still didn’t have enough strength to retreat.
In fact, Alan wasn’t even sure if it was Jeff who moved closer or was it him?
Sure enough, he moved his face towards the child, or perhaps the two moved closer to each other. They moved irresistibly and no matter who made the move, the end result was no different: their lips touched gently.
It was very light, so light that he wasn’t sure whether it was reality or a dream, and no one dared to do more than that. They just pressed their lips together, holding the touch, letting the warmth flow until their lips felt familiar with each other’s temperature
Even though they weren’t doing anything other than touching each other, why did it feel so good? It’s like…
“NO”
The person who decided to walk away first was Alan. The X-Hunter Chief said no softly while shaking his head repeatedly, as if he was repeating to himself that he shouldn’t have let this happen in the first place.
“…”
“No, it can’t be like this…” Alan trailed off. while Jeff could only see people who were confused
“Uncle..”
“No Jeff, I can’t do this.”
“Why?”
“Do you still have to ask why?” Alan stood up straight. A big hand rose. He rubbed his face, trying to stay calm. But it took a long time for his scattered consciousness to return completely. “I’m too old, and you’re too young. you’re only twenty…”
“I’m twenty-one.”
“That’s true, but it doesn’t make any difference.”
“But I’m not a kid anymore.”
“No matter how much I make, we’re still eighteen years apart, Jeff.” Alan rarely spoke seriously to him. And of course that means this problem is so serious that Alan has to bring out his adult figure to handle it, but he still doesn’t understand what the problem is at the moment.
“So what?” Jeff asked quietly. It seemed like he didn’t understand Alan’s feelings.
“You are still a child. You won’t understand.”
“You did it again!!”
“Jeff”
“Is it just because you’re older and you know more?”
“It’s not like that…” Alan said softly with a very embarrassed expression on his face.
“You might not feel anything because you are still young. But I’m older, an adult. How could I let you do this?”
“Do what?”
“Jeff, what did you just do?”
“Kiss?”
“There he is!”
“Is an eighteen year age difference really a problem for you?”
Alan was silent, he wanted to answer with a firm answer: Yes, eighteen years is too far. But he didn’t know why he couldn’t say it. The more Jeff looked at him with those eyes, Alan didn’t even know what to say. And what was worse was that he felt how Charlie would react to him.
Oh Lord. Why did you have to send my soulmate at such a young age?
“Yeah, you’re still too young” Alan said finally. He didn’t dare look Jeff in the eye. Even when saying that sentence
“Then why were you teasing me in the first place? If you think I’m too young?”
“Tempting?”
“Yes” Jeff answered quietly. Then continue talking. “You like picking me up, taking me out to eat, shopping, taking me to your house to play and inviting me to stay with you?”
“..”
“We talk every day. I told you all my story and you asked me to promise to keep telling everything and not to keep any secrets from you.”
“…”
“Why did you do it?”
“I…” Alan tried to answer something, but suddenly he seemed to forget every word in the world, because the man never thought that he would
Let’s face this question. On that day, he only intended to invite Jeff to come play at his house. He thought he just wanted them to spend time together like they always did.
“Answer me” asked Jeff again, when all the Alans were still stunned. “Why are you doing this?”
“I just…” The tall man took a deep breath before speaking in a low voice. “I’m just happy when I’m with you.”
“So where is the problem?”
“It got to the point where you couldn’t think like that about me. Because I’m too old for you.”
“Does that mean you never thought about it before?”
Jeff is always like this. This boy asked questions that the old man couldn’t answer. He used a deadpan expression and it made him feel like an adult who gave him a bad grade because he couldn’t even answer a simple question.
“So, are you okay?” Instead of answering the question, Alan chose to ask again.
“About?”
“About me being older than you.”
“I don’t see anything wrong with that. I’m an adult now. Even though I’m not as mature as you, I’m not a child like you always say!”
Of course what Jeff said was true. Even though he was much younger than her. But honestly, Jeff is no longer a kid. They got to know each other when they were in the adult phase and mature enough. But even so, Alan still felt the difference between them, and it still annoyed him.
“How about we try being brothers first?”
After blaming himself for a long time, the man finally decided to say it. He chose to make an offer. Even though he knew it might be against both of their wishes, he didn’t want to do something he would regret later and he didn’t want to ruin the good relationship between him and Jeff at this time. “If you’re fine, we’ll be fine if we stay like this for a little longer. Are you okay?” Alan continued, seeing Jeff just sitting there staring at him, refusing to say a word.
“If I say eighteen years old there is no problem, so that means it is no problem. If we don’t respond differently, when will we start?”
“For now, just stay as a brother like this. Having you here, I feel comfortable and this is enough.”
Jeff wasn’t sure how he felt about Alan’s offer, because right now he could only feel the warmth of the person’s voice, smile, and eyes that looked at him with only sincerity.
“I will be your closest brother. And then I can be a brother, or an uncle, or whatever you want.”
“…”
“We will tell each other and will not have any secrets between us.”
“…”
“I think it’s very good.”
That night, Jeff stayed at Alan’s house. Alan slept in his own room and Jeff slept in the guest room. They agreed to maintain their relationship as brothers and friends despite the age difference as before. Because of this, this night seemed very long and they were so desperate that they finally said good night to each other.
And nothing more happened than that…

Winter :
Many people ask the following questions, so I will try to answer 🙂
Q: Do AlanJeff, PeteWay, KentaKim and the other couples have their own books?A: There are NO books about them for now (I don’t know if the author will make a spin off someday. Let’s hope for that)
Q: Is this a Fan FIc? Why is the story different from the series and some characters are missing?A; This is a translation of the original novel. If there are differences with the series, it’s very natural because usually they only take 40-60% of the elements from the novel and add new plots or characters so that viewers who have read the novel will still get a surprise effect because of the different story development.
The addition of characters such as Kim, Winner, Dean, as well as the addition of romance between one character and other characters such as:
– PeteWay ==> They know each other from the beginning, live and raised up together with Tony, so they are not stranger as on series),
– KentaKim ==> Kim is not existed on novel, so his existence on series will bring a new story development
So, on my opinion, those couples are intended to attract the audience and add to the selling value of the series with their visuals and FS. And THEY DID IT!!!!!!
Btw, there only 2 special chapters left… BE READY to say Goodbye…
