“No need to apologise. It happens more than you think around here.”
The voice was oddly familiar, throwing Harry off enough that it took him another few moments to realise it was laced with a deep alpha tone. He managed to get his hands underneath his torso and sit up slowly enough that the man - the alpha - seated behind him didn’t complain. His hands shifted and Harry shivered at the sudden cool, the warmth from his drop rapidly dripping out of him as he lost the man’s embrace. This confused him even more – most alphas knew it wasn’t exactly appropriate to be helping a strange, unmated omega out of a drop, let alone someone so clearly involved in the field of omega medicine. A spark of anger snapped the last of the fogginess away and he turned to give the alpha a piece of his mind, only to have his fire doused the moment their eyes met.
The kind blue gaze of none other than his childhood best friend stared back at him, searching his face for some kind of acknowledgement. “Louis,” Harry breathed, too stunned to say anything else.
Or, after a few years trying to make it on his own, Harry is forced to return home due to his worsening conditions. He expects the experience to be nothing short of humiliating, but it turns out kindness is lingering in the strangest of places -- you just have to be brave enough to ask for help.
