Gale had watched Zion grow up. So it's fair for him to say this was the first time he had ever seen Zion devote so much attention to an omega, or watched those crimson eyes soften into a gaze so gentle that, honestly, Gale had nearly refused to believe what he was seeing. It simply didn't look like the face of Zion Hughes, The Mad Scientist.
Seeing that expression was such a rare occurrence that Gale had almost felt like smashing his forehead against the pavement, convinced he had to be dreaming something utterly absurd.
What nearly stopped his heart even more was seeing Zion smile and laugh whenever he was with Suga. It was the kind of smile that effortlessly drew everyone's eyes toward him. Completely different from the polite smile Zion wore while speaking to business partners or attending formal functions.
This smile made him look impossibly handsome, as though flowers were blooming all around him.
