“There is a lot of things that I’m scared of.” Dan suddenly said as he laid next to Phil. “And I don’t know if it’s because I’ve never experienced them or that my mind is making it so hard for me to process it happening to me.”

Phil, at the time, had no idea what Dan was referring to. But he let Dan continue as he began just spewing out words in never ending streams.

“Like, colors for example.” He began. “I have no idea what a ‘color’ is? How does one to describe to me what blue looks like, or black? People say I wear black alot but I don’t know. I could be dressed in something and never know the color. The other day, I wore white pants and Beth told me that my underwear could be seen through them because they were pink. But how was I to know that? I would have went my entire day not knowing that.”

Dan paused for a moment to catch a breath before continuing.

“And then, people tell me how my face is flushed red. But what is red? What color is my face? I also apparently have brown eyes and brown hair. But all I know is that it means they’re dark. But what is dark? What is the difference between light and dark? I just...I don’t get it because I’ve never seen it and that scares me.”

“It’s okay to be scared of something.” Phil said when Dan was done. “It’s always valid to be afraid.”

“But the thing is that I’m afraid of things that I shouldn’t be afraid of. Like, who the fuck is afraid of a color?”

“I’m sure you’re not the only one.” Phil said, hoping to give Dan some positivity.

Dan just shrugged.

“And how is one afraid of sex?”

Phil turned his head to look at the blushing male. “What do you mean?”

Dan sighed. “I’m really scared of sex. And--and I don’t even--I don’t even know why I’m telling you this. This is embarrassing.”

“It’s not embarrassing.” Phil said. “But maybe talking it out with someone who has had sex will make you feel better about it? I don’t know how much you want to discuss with me though.”

“Well, that’s the thing too.” Dan said. “My sister told me a while ago that I’d know when I met my soulmate because my hormones would become weird and I’ll start smelling more of them whenever I’m around them...and I met you and...I really trust you.”

Phil smiled at him. “Are you insisting that you think we’re soulmates?”

Dan blushed even redder. “I don’t know. Kind of.”

“Well,” Phil said leaning forward, pressing his hand gently on Dan’s hot flesh, “I think we are too.”

Dan’s lips curled into a smile as Phil leaned forward, kissing him gently again. It was all completely innocent. Their lips moving over each other. Despite Dan being inexperienced, he still was a great kisser in Phil’s opinion. Phil continued the innocent kiss before taking a chance and licking over Dan’s bottom lip, asking for entrance. Dan’s face scrunched up and Phil decided that he wasn’t ready for that yet. So he didn’t do anything more. He pressed down a little bit more into the kiss before disconnecting them.

“I wish I could see what you looked like.” Dan said. “I keep imagining you in my head but I’m scared my image is wrong.”

“That’s kind of amazing that you can paint a mental picture of me.” Phil said.

Dan shrugged. “Maybe it’s because my body knows you’re my soulmate.”

“Maybe.” Phil said. But then he got thinking. He wanted Dan to talk to him about his fears. Phil knew that mates were going to have to have sex eventually. Heats and ruts would need to be shared if they were to complete the mating bond. And plus, if they ever wanted babies, Dan would need to open up himself to bear them. Why was he thinking of that? He didn’t even know what was going to happen between them and now he’s thinking of impregnating Dan.

“But let’s discuss you for a moment. Why does sex scare you?”

Dan shrugged again. “I don’t know. I think it all comes down to the idea that I don’t know what sex really is. Like, of course I know it’s intimate and it’s--well--sex. But what does it entail?”

Phil blushed. He felt like he was about to give a sex-ed lesson to a pre-pubescent teenager in a Health Class.

“Like, I know what happens during sex. But does it hurt? What does it feel like? Can you describe it?”

Phil laid back and let himself think it over in his head. He’s only had sex with one person so he didn’t have too much experience but he knew some basics.

“It’s...it can be incredible. Peak pleasure and euphoria at it’s climax.”

“Does it hurt?”

“Define hurt?”

Dan blushed and hid his face in Phil’s neck. “Does it hurt when someone...puts their dick inside you?”

Phil chuckled. “I don’t know if it hurts because I’ve always been on the giving end. But I don’t want to lie. I think it does hurt a little. And I learned when I was younger that Omega’s always hurt a little bit more when they’re virgins because of their body accommodating the Alpha size for the first time.”

Dan’s breathing heightened against Phil’s neck, making his skin damp. “So it is going to hurt me.”

“But I’d take such amazing care of you.” Phil doesn’t know why he uses himself as a way to help Dan out. He didn't know if Dan would ever sleep with him or mate with him. He kind of figured he would given that Dan already told him he thought they were soulmates which was exactly Phil’s own thoughts. “I’d make sure you never were pain. Just pleasure.”

Dan smiled into Phil’s neck. But then Phil felt it quickly fall.

Dan picked his neck up from Phil’s neck and looked towards Phil’s general direction. His expression was now completely serious. “I’ve been leaking slick for a few days now.” He said softly. “I woke up one morning with sheets soaked and I didn’t know what it was. I called Beth immediately and she came over. She told me instantly that it was slick. It terrified me…”

Phil felt his breath catch in his throat.

“That was the day that I told you that I thought my pills weren’t working.” Dan paused. “But then it stopped and now it’s starting again. And I think I’m going to go into heat soon. My hormones are weird. I have to shower often because my skin is flushed. You can probably feel it. I keep having wet dreams at night and I often need release. I...I think it’s coming soon and I don’t know what to do.”

Phil rubbed his hand over Dan’s back. “What do you think you want to do?”

“I want help when I go through it.” Dan bit his lip. “Do you think you could help me?”

Phil took a deep inhale of air. He let it out slowly. “Dan...if I smell your heat, I won’t be able to control myself. My alpha instincts will take over and I’m going to need to take you.”

“Then I give you permission to!” Dan said confidently--even though his lip was trembling.

“Dan,” Phil said again. “You don’t want that. You don’t want to have you first heat taken by an Alpha who can’t control themselves. I’d love to help you, but I’m afraid of what I’d do. My body and mind will become intoxicated by your heat. I can hurt you.”

Phil watched as Dan’s eyes glazed over, something he had never seen before, and then tears run down his cheeks. Phil immediately pulled Dan to him and held him. “Then what do I do?” He cried. “What do I do?’

“Well,” Phil said, “We can do a few things. I can buy you toys and you can go through it on your own. Or...we can do something prior to your heat so you’ll know what it feels like?”

“But then I won’t be pure for my mating.” Dan spoke.

“I don’t care about Dan.” Phil said, running his hand over Dan’s hair, pulling gently on the curls. “When we mate, I won’t care that there is no blood. I’ll just want you.”

Dan’s body tensed but then relaxed almost simultaneously. “Are you suggesting we have sex?”

“Well, it doesn’t have to be like that.” Phil said. “We can just be like how we are know and if something happens, then it happens. And if we happen to not do anything before your heat, then I’ll buy you toys and we’ll get through this.”

“But I’ll want you during my heat.” Dan said. “I know I will.”

“Then we’ll figure it out.” Phil said. “Soon.”

Phil paused and leaned down, kissing the top of Dan’s head.

“Let’s just relax right now. We don’t have to discuss anything else right now.”

Dan nodded against him and shut his eyes. Phil watched as Dan’s breathing evened out. He might not be asleep, but his body was completed relaxed against an Alpha and that’s all Phil wanted from Dan. He wanted for Dan to never be hurt and never be tense.

He just wanted to hold Dan forever.

The next morning, Phil was surprised to wake up and see Dan still sleeping beside him. He didn’t remember ever falling asleep. All he remembered was just talking with Dan and then them telling stories of their families.

And as they were talking, it reminded Phil that fall break was next week and that also meant Family Weekend was next week too. Which also meant his family would want to come to campus that weekend to do every. single. event. But that meant he could introduce them to Dan.

Dan said he’d tell Beth about it. Apparently he just has Beth as a sibling and then his parents, much like Phil did with just his older brother. When Phil asked him if Dan was going to invite his family, Dan sighed, and said that he didn’t know if his family would come.

But then as they were sitting in Phil’s room, Dan’s iPad went off and began reading to him a text message from Beth that said that their parents were definitely going to come.

So now, Phil looked over to Dan and smiled slightly. He was going to meet Dan’s parents...and that was actually kind of exciting to him.

In a weird way.

Picking up the last box, Phil walked inside the now not so vacant dorm room and set it down beside all the others. There was an ache in his back now, one that would stay for the next twenty four hours at the use of exercise that he tries so hard to ignore.

He looked around, processing the fact that he was back in the same dorm for a second year in a row. But he guesses that that is what he gets for being an RA (Resident Advisor) for his dorm building again.

He didn’t think he had brought that much stuff with him, but looking at the boxes, he now knows that he brought way more than he actually needs. And on top of that, the freshmen arrive on his floor tomorrow at 11 so he needs to unpack everything before then.

This is his first year being an RA to freshman: last year it was sophomores. And to say he was intimidated was an understatement. He knew that he had no reason to be, he was an alpha and was meant to be strong. But he was still intimidated by the flood of students that had no idea how a college worked.

And he always had one who had no idea how their body worked either and he’d have to deal with the consequences of an in-heat Omega and Alpha’s that don’t know how to take their pills to control the scent of their ruts.

But he’d deal with that later if need be.

Phil sat down, plopping his body onto the cold tiled floor as he opened the first box and noted that it was all shirts. Pushing that aside, he went to the next one and so on.

Pawing through each box, he began to put things away in his dresser and decorate the rest of his dorm with miscellaneous other items that he brought from home. He was only an hour from his actual house but he still felt homesick. He was now even more homesick as an RA because he never quite got the opportunity to go home as often as he would like.

But he enjoyed his job.

He was just finishing hanging up his tapestry when he heard footsteps coming down the hallway. Peeking his head out of his door, he spotted a young male with brown curled hair walking slowly down the white stretch of walls. There was a tall blonde next to his side and they were both heading to a dorm room just down from Phil’s.

He was confused because freshman don’t move in today.

Walking out of his room, he slowly followed them as they turned into a room, the brown haired male hanging on to the hand of the blonde and they shut the door behind them. Phil continued down the hallway until he got to the room they disappeared into and read the name on the door.

Dan

Okay, this guy was Dan. Good to know.

Knocking on the door, he waited as he heard footsteps come. The door finally swung open as the female stood and looked at him from the doorway.

“Hi,” Phil began, “I’m the RA on this floor but I’m just curious as to why you’re moving in already?”

Phil looked around saw all of the totes and other boxes crammed into the small seven by nine room.

The girl perked up and smiled. “Oh! Dan had special permission to move in early and get used to the halls. The college told him he was allowed to given his circumstances.”

Circumstances? Phil wasn’t told that one of his residents had special circumstances.

Phil peered behind her again and saw Dan standing next to his bed. His eyes were staring straight ahead and he was folding a shirt in his hands, his fingers feeling every last stitch to get it right.

“Oh, that’s fine!” Phil finally spoke. “I was just curious because the college never told me they had someone moving onto my floor early.”

The blonde waved her hand away. “It’s fine. My brother just needs some time to adjust but he’ll be okay after a few days. He’s learned to adapt really fast to new surroundings and he’s really excited to start college! He never thought he’d have the opportunity.”

Phil nodded and forced out a smile. “Happy to hear that.”

Phil quickly said his goodbye just as a voice from the inside called shakily, “Beth? Who was that?”

Phil was gone down the hallway before he heard Beth reply.

While he focused on unpacking and finishing up his room, he couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy about this. He was confused as to why the college was letting someone move in and not telling Phil ahead of time.

He went into his phone and checked his email, making sure he didn’t miss anything. Which he didn’t, like he suspected. But that still didn’t help his confusion.

Maybe he’d go and talk to Dan tonight and get to know him. There is no hurt in that.

Phil sat down on his bed and pulled out his laptop, throwing together a quick email to his residents, welcoming them to move in day. He then finalized his list of things to go over at their first floor meeting the next night and decided to shut his eyes for a quick nap.

Phil never went to see Dan that night. He instead found himself too busy wrapped in in finalizing the candy goody bags for all of his new residents. By the time he was finished, it was already heading for eight in the evening so he assumed it was probably too late to bother Dan. So he ordered himself a pizza to be delivered and devoured that instead.

The next morning, Phil woke up to his alarm clock blaring at seven. He groaned and quickly shut it off before he catapulted out of bed and headed to the shared bathroom in the middle of the hall with his shower equipment. He had to admit that sharing a bathroom with fifteen other males was definitely not appealing. So he was happy to have to the first shower of the year to himself.

Or so he thought.

Wrapped in his dark blue rope with his slides on, he opened the door to the bathroom and was greeted by Dan, stood at the sink, washing his hands. He stared at him for a moment, wondering if Dan was going to say anything to him. But when Dan didn’t speak, Phil just ignored him and headed to the first shower, yanking back the curtain.

But apparently doing that frightened Dan because suddenly, Dan was grabbing a thin black cane from the counter and rushing out of the bathroom with it looming in front of him.

Phil watched as Dan exited, his breathing so heavy that even Phil could slightly hear it.

And that is when it hit Phil all together…Dan was blind. The cane Dan was using was his guide. Which completely explained why Dan needed extra time to get used to the campus.

Phil’s mind was blown…in a way. Mostly this was due to the fact that he can say he’s never been around someone who was blind. So to have a resident who was blind might be a challenge. Phil didn’t know if Dan was comfortable around others in such a small setting as the lounge. He also didn’t know if Dan would be able to read—no scratch that thought because a blind man can’t read anything Phil!  

He would have to rethink his entire plan as an RA. All of his special notes he slips underneath his residents door won’t work for Dan. All of his movie watching nights wouldn’t work for Dan…or so he thinks.

But Phil wasn’t worried about that right now. He was more focused on getting his residents moved into their rooms and getting them situated. So he hopped into the shower, undid his robe, and started the water.

Nothing can be really as difficult as it seems, right?

Well, he was totally wrong.

Within the first half an hour of freshman moving in, he already had on student threaten to ‘kick the shit’ out of his roommate because his roommate moved one of his totes. Phil immediately took their names and contact the area director to separate the two males—clearly both Alphas. Then he had another student begin to cry when his parent’s left and Phil instantly had to comfort him…the male also reeked of omega which made Phil’s head spin a little bit. But he let it slide. And then lastly, he had another student break the door off from their dresser by doing God knows what with it so he had to put in a maintenance call. So it’s been a semi-productive morning for Phil and he already wants a nap and it’s not even noon.

But in this complete and total chaos, he never saw Dan once. He saw that at one point, the door to Dan’s room was slightly open but it was soon shut. Phil figured that was probably for the best considering that Dan shouldn’t get into he middle of this.

Phil had to knock on Dan’s door that afternoon though. For all of the other residents, he had just slipped the simple notice under their doors saying that they had a mandatory meeting at seven tonight, but he couldn’t do that for Dan.

When Phil knocked on his door, he was pleasantly surprised with how fast Dan opened it. And when Dan appeared in the doorway, Phil couldn’t help but see the beauty in him nearly instantly. His brown eyes were wide open but glassy and cloudy in the light. His brown hair was tousled but also neatly done in curls.

Phil had to admit that he was proper attractive. But he couldn’t think like that right now. He just needed to tell Dan of the meeting and then go.

“Hey Dan. This is Phil…your RA.” Phil managed to spit out. “All of the residents have a mandatory meeting at seven tonight in the lounge.”

Dan stared blankly at him before nodding slowly. “Okay. I’ll be there.”

And then Dan shut the door and Phil was left standing there.

Well, that went semi-okay.

Phil just turned around and went back to his room for the next few hours before the meeting began. He just hoped he wouldn’t do something to upset Dan in anyway. He doesn’t know why he was suddenly feeling protective over someone he didn’t even know, but he felt deep down that he needed to help Dan.

He hoped he wasn’t wrong.

Phil was surprised to see everyone show up for the meeting, and at a decent time too. By 6:55, all of his residents were sitting somewhere in the lounge, whether that be on the floor or in a chair. The only person who wasn’t there was Dan.

But when Phil heard the careful walking down the hallway and spotted Dan moving with his cane in front of him, he wasn’t worried about Dan not finding his way or showing up. In fact, he was almost shocked at the fact that Dan was now stood in the lounge and knew where he was.

“Okay, everyone!” Phil began looking around the room. “My name is Phil and I’m the RA for you guys this year. I’m currently a third year English language and linguistics major with a minor in video production studies. We can all go around the room and introduce ourselves and our majors. And then at the end, you are all allowed to ask me any question you would like!”

Phil clapped his hands together happily, hoping all of the rest of the room was just as excited for him. He looked around and noticed though that no one was speaking. So he took the initiative to call on someone.

“Dan!” Phil called. Dan’s head shoot up as he processed who was speaking to him. “Can you begin?”

Dan nodded. “I’m Dan and I’m studying law.” It was short and sweet and he wasn’t too keen on speaking anymore. So Phil let it move onto the next person.

As each person in the lounge said their name and program, Phil found himself noticing a trend. Many of the students were here for some type of English program or film program. This made Phil happy because he could connect more with his residents.

At the end, he allowed for them to all ask his questions but none really said anything. Not until a muscled blonde by the name of Brendon rose his hand and asked. “What did you present as?”

Phil at first was reluctant to answer but he decided to anyway. “I’m an Alpha.”

At that he could see many of the guys around the room grow excited with their expressions. “Wow. Don’t look like an Alpha.” Brendon retorted with a sneer.

“You don’t have to look like an Alpha to present as an Alpha.” Phil said with a chuckle. “Which is a good thing for everyone to know. Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason but that doesn’t mean you have to fall into them. I’m an Alpha and I’m sure there are some in this room right now. But I’m also sure that there are some Omegas in the room too that do not appear to be Omegas but are.”

Everyone just started at Phil as he looked smug at his residents. He always loved when he could turn a negative comeback into a positive pep-talk. He clapped his hands together and smiled at them all. “Okay. Let’s end the meeting on that note. Everyone should go back to their rooms and get some rest for the night. Classes begin tomorrow and everyone needs to be prepared. If you are ever wondering where I am, I will leave my location on my door.”

One by one, all of the residents left the room and soon it was just Phil sitting there. Phil began picking up the discarded candy wrappers that were left from his goody bags being opened when he noticed that Dan was still standing in the corner.

Phil stood up from his crouched position and looked at Dan. “Hey, Dan. You can go back to room now.”

Dan turned his head towards the direction of Phil’s voice. But he looked hesitant to speak.

Phil waited and watched to see if Dan would say anything. Eventually he did.

“Are you really an Alpha?”

Phil nodded—which didn’t make any difference because Dan couldn’t see anyway—and said, “Yes, I’m really an Alpha.”

“Are you strong?” Dan asked almost immediately after Phil was done speaking.

Phil laughed to himself. “No. In fact I’m far from it.”

Dan smiled, a small petite smile. “I’ve never met an Alpha outside of my family before.”

“Not in school?” Phil asked.

“I was home schooled.” Dan said softly. “My parent’s always told me Alpha’s were big and powerful.”

Phil laughed at that and shook his head. “Most are but I’m not.”

Dan smiled at him before pulling out his cane and beginning to walk away. As he began to walk, Phil decided to call after him. “Why are you so curious about Alphas?”

Dan stopped in his tracks. He spoke quickly. “I’m an Omega.” He then trailed down the hallway to his room and left Phil standing in the lounge by himself.

For some reason, Phil felt pleased with that information. He wasn’t sure why but he liked knowing Dan was an Omega. Maybe it was because at the mention of such a thing, Phil suddenly got a whiff of sweet pheromones in the air that made the hair on his arms stand up straight.

But he wasn’t going to look that much into it or think too much about those minor details. He was going to head back to his room for the night and get ready for his first day of classes the next morning.

He could tell this year was going to be different for him. In a good way? He couldn’t tell just yet.

Phil left Dan’s dorm later than he was expecting to. He had talked to Dan and calmed him down slightly on the idea of a heat but he didn’t want to get too into it. He just wanted to let Dan know that he was gonna be safe if it does happen unexpectedly.

When Phil entered his room at around 8:30, he had forgotten about how his room was left unlocked and he was surprised to see Devon sat naked on his bed, stroking his cock slowly. Phil groaned.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

Devon smirked devilishly at him. “Don’t act like you don’t know why I’m here.”

“Oh, I know exactly why you’re here.” Phil said.

“Then why are you acting so surprised about it?” Devon questioned. “Just get over here and do something. I’m supposed to be in heat this week if I wasn’t on my pills and I’m so horny.”

“You left me a year ago because I wasn’t able to satisfy you anymore and now you’re back here wanting me to have sex with you.”

Devon nodded. “I’m sorry for what I did, Phil.”

“That doesn’t excuse anything.” Phil snapped.

Phil didn’t know where any of this sudden rage was coming from. Just hours ago he was fully okay and accepting of knowing he was going to have sex with Devon tonight but now the thought was sickening to him.

Devon sat up, covering his lap with one of Phil’s pillows. “What’s going on with you?” He asked. “On Tuesday you let me suck you off with no protest and now tonight you’re snapping at me and freaking out.”

Phil sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose between fingers. “I’m sorry. I’m just a little stressed.”

Devon shifted on the bed and reached down, grabbing his sweatpants before lifting up and pulling them on to cover himself. He patted the bed next to him and Phil walked over and sat down.

“Want to tell me about it?” Devon asked, his sudden sex-driven mind thrown out the window as far as Phil could tell.

“There is this Omega who lives on my floor and he’s blind--but that’s not the point--and he’s so nice and caring. But he told me tonight that he doesn’t think his heat suppressants are working anymore and--”

“Aww,” Devon cooed, “Does Phil want to fuck the bitch in heat?”

Phil’s nostril flared. “Never call Dan that!”

Devon sat back, surprised at the sudden outburst.

“Sorry...but to answer your lewd question, that’s all I can think about.” Phil said. “Ever since he said that to me, the first thought that popped into my head was how amazing it would be to share his first heat with him.”

“Does that thought arouse you?” Devon asked with a smirk.

Phil furrowed his brows until he saw where Devon was referring to and he looked down, the tent in his pants pretty obvious.

Devon reached forward and pressed his hand against Phil, palming him through his pants. “How about you take out all of that sexual frustration on me? I’m a willing Omega who wants a big Alpha cock to knot me.”

And Phil couldn’t resist any longer. He turned Devon onto his back hovered over him, practically ripping his sweatpants from him as his desires got the best of him.

But even later, when Phil was inside of Devon and thrusting, he could not get the sight of Dan in heat out of his head. He wondered how Dan’s facial features would look like as he came. He wondered how Dan would react to receiving so much pleasure.

He wondered if Dan was a virgin and if he would be taking him pure. If he was pure, there would be blood on the sheets following their first time.

He had one of the best orgasms of his life with those thoughts racing through his head. But he couldn’t help the moan of the name ‘Dan’ that popped out of his mouth as he collapsed onto Devon, completely neglecting the fact that Devon had gone soft just mere moments before and didn’t have his release.

Phil fell asleep not long after and Devon left without a word to him.

But when Phil woke up near midnight and checked his cell phone, he had one text from Devon that said:

I think you’ve found your mate, Phil.

Phil spent majority of his weekend thinking about Devon’s text to him Friday night. He tried to ignore it, because Devon couldn’t possibly have known any of that when Phil didn’t even know himself. But he found himself texting Devon Saturday afternoon to ask him.

Phil: What did you meant by your text?

Devon: Exactly what it says?

Phil thought for a moment, but surely this was a mistake. Who was Devon even referring to when it comes to that of his text message?

Phil: Okay, but who were you talking about?

Devon: Are you being serious right now??

Phil: Yeah?

Devon: Well, I’m not going to tell you then. You’ll need to figure this out on your own.

Phil sat back on his bed where he was sat and scrolled through the text messages again later that night. He kept getting more and more upset with them as he tried to figure out who Devon was referring to. And every time, his mind came up short.

So he went to his friends Ashlee and Louise and called them to his dorm room for a hang out that night. And now all three of them were sat in the lounge on Phil’s floor while they waited for the pizza delivery guy to arrive.

Ashlee was talking about something new with her newly found mate and Louise was talking about something to do with her English class. But Phil wanted to bring up Devon to them and what he said so he intervened in their conversations.

“I met up with Devon last night.” Phil said.

Both Ashlee and Louise stopped talking and turned their head to face Phil.

“Excuse me?” Ashlee said. “I thought you were just crying to me about him because you hated him so much.”

Phil rolled his eyes. “You know I can’t resist him.”

“No, you can.” Louise piped in. “But your dick always makes the decisions for you so therefore, you can’t.”

“On another note,” Phil began again, “I met up with Devon last night and I was in a slight predicament because I had just gotten done spending two hours with Dan.”

“Who’s Dan?”

“He’s one of my residents.”

“The one who’s blind?” Ashlee piped in.

Phil nodded. “Yeah, he locked himself out of his dorm yesterday so I helped him get back in. But that’s not even the point. So we got into his room and we were talking when he suddenly brought up the mention of heats. And not just in a way where he was just discussing a biological thing but he told me he doesn’t think his heat suppressants are working.”

Ashlee’s mouth dropped open and Louise cocked her eyebrow in an all-knowing look.

“Why is that bothering you?” Ashlee questioned. “You’ve never been bothered before regarding heats with other Omegas besides with Devon? That’s mainly why you were picked as an RA, remember?”

“Well that’s the thing.” Phil said. “After I left Dan’s room and went back to my dorm, Devon was there. He was trying to get me to have sex with him and I was just so focused on Dan that I turned him down. So he and I just talked for a while and suddenly, he acted like Dan?”

“What are you talking about?” Louise interjected. “How could Devon act like Dan?”

Phil threw his hand over his eyes in embarrassment as he croaked out. “He told me he was a willing Omega who wanted an Alpha and that made me think of Dan during his heat and so I shoved Devon to the bed and then it happened.”

“Okay...but I still don’t see where you’re going with all of this.” Louise continued. “You say that you had sex with Devon but yet it was because your body thought it was Dan?”

“Well...I don’t know!” Phil suddenly exclaimed. “I didn’t even see it as that way until I got this stupid text from Devon last night telling me I’d found my mate and now that’s all I can think about.”

Both Ashlee and Louise smirked at Phil, leaving him peeking through his fingers and blushing at being so forward with him. “Phil, do you like Dan?”

At Ashlee’s words, Louise burst into a fit of laughter over her treating Phil like he was a pre-pubescent middle schooler.

“I hardly even know him.”

“But you’re getting yourself worked up thinking about him.” Ashlee said. “I can tell because you’re tense. Just think about this for a second.” She took a deep breath. “When Dan told you he could possibly go into a heat, what was your first thought?”

Phil sat back on the couch and pouted because he didn’t want to say his first thought about that because it was a lewd, unnecessary comment. But he knew if he didn’t, Ashlee would keep prodding so he finally said it. “That I wanted to help him through it.”

“Okay…” Ashlee prodded. “Help him how? Make sure he has tons of water? Give him food? Maybe buy him a few toys?”

Phil shook his head.

“Sit with him and make sure he’s okay? Make him shower so he doesn’t overheat? Clean his sheets for him?”

“Ash, are you really gonna make me say it?” Phil pleaded. She nodded and Louise smirked. “I want to help him by...going through it with him. I can’t say it in a lewd way because Dan deserves more than that from me.”

“But you want to fuck him and knot him during his heat?”

Phil nodded and groaned. “I’ve never thought about this with someone else other than Devon.”

“Well maybe Devon was right.” Louise said. “The way you’re thinking of Dan now gives me the indication that you really aren’t thinking clearly which is the perfect sign of someone who just discovered their own mate. You’re never like this and you can even admit it. Even with Devon you never once mentioned how you thought beforehand of sharing a heat with him. It just happened because he purposely stopped taking his heat pills and lured you in.”

Phil rolled his eyes because he didn’t want to be reminded of that.

“Can I just ask you guys something kind of weird and personal?” Phil asked.

“As if we’re not already discussing personal matters.”

“No...guys, just listen please.” He took a deep breath. “While I was having sex with Devon, I envisioned him as Dan. When I opened my eyes and looked down, I didn’t see Devon, I saw Dan. I imagined myself taking him as my own, and destroying his purity. I had thoughts about what he would actually look like under me, whether or not he was a virgin and if I’d see blood afterwards. I moaned out his name when I finished.”

The thing with Phil is that he hadn’t quite thought about all of these things until now. So prior to this conversation with Louise and Ashlee, he hadn’t even realized what had happened last night. And now he was spilling it to not only them, but to himself as well.

But the conversation ended when his phone buzzed and it was the pizza delivery guy saying that he had arrived and was waiting downstairs.

The rest of the evening Saturday was spent with Louise, Ashlee, and Phil talking about how college was going for them so far. Phil explained how he was enjoying his residents more than last year and Ashlee said the same worked for her. Louise then went into a spiel about how she didn’t like any of her classes and wished she could change out of them.

And then the night ended and Ashlee was on duty for the night so she had to leave. And then Louise still had to drive home (she was a commuter) so she left at the same time Ashlee did. That left Phil back in his dorm room to catch up on some homework.

He hadn’t even thought of Dan any more that night.

On Sunday, the same routine basically happened where Phil worked on some more homework and got a jump start on some reading before he was interrupted by a knock on his door. He got up from his desk, adjusting his glasses that were slipping down the bridge of his nose, and opened the door.

And to his surprise, Dan was stood there again. He was wearing an all black hoodie and a pair of ripped black skinny jeans. His cane was out in front of him, resting on the floor and he was wearing black sunglasses over his eyes.

“Phil?” Dan asked.

“Yeah?” Phil answered back.

“Do you want to get lunch with me?” Dan asked, his voice rushed but also strong and confident. Phil could have laughed because he could tell that Dan had well-practiced that phrase prior to coming to his door.

“Sure.” Phil said. “Where are we going?”

“I thought to the dining hall. It would still be open right?”

Phil turned his head and looked at his clock on his microwave. It said that it was a little after one. “Yeah, it’s open.” He said Dan bounce back and forth on the balls of his feet, back to the heels. “Oh, yeah, hang on. I have to slip on some better clothing. I’m just in some pajamas right now.” He watched as Dan just stood there, not moving from his spot. “You can come in for a few. I don’t mind.”

Dan smiled at him and walked in, his cane tapping the floor as he got familiar with the new surroundings. Dan found his way into the middle of Phil’s room and Phil chuckled to himself as he grabbed a pair of jeans from his dresser and let his sweatpants fall to his feet.

He quickly pulled his jeans up. He felt awkward knowing Dan was here, and he was undressing, But he also knew that Dan couldn’t see anything anyway so it’s not like he would even mind. Or so he thought until he looked up from buttoning his jeans and noticed Dan was blushing like mad.

“You okay?” Phil asked with a laugh.

“I just have heightened hearing and I could hear you zipping your jeans.” Dan blushed even more red--if that was even possible. “That’s all.”

“Does it make you uncomfortable knowing I was dressing in front of you?” Phil asked, suddenly concerned that maybe having Dan come inside wasn’t the smartest plan. He didn’t even know Dan that well.

“No.” Dan said. “I’ve just never been around Alpha when they’ve gotten dressed before.”

“Does if make you feel weird knowing an Alpha was dressing?”

Dan shook his head. “No. It just feels really personal.” He said. “And for some reason, when I’m around you, I feel really odd...but in a good way.”

Phil smiled wide at him as he slipped his sweatshirt on. “You ready to go?”

Dan nodded and stood up straighter, moving his cane back to the floor. “Yeah, let’s go.”

“Beth is coming to see me this afternoon and she wants to meet you.”

Phil looked up from cutting apart his piece of chicken breast. Dan was sat opposite of him, eating a sandwich that was made specifically for him since using a fork and knife was a little difficult.

“Why does she want to meet me?” Phil asked.

“Um…” Dan flushed red again. “I told her a lot about you and she wants to meet the guy who has been helping me out quite a bit. I think she just wants to thank you.”

Phil smirked. “She doesn’t need to thank me.” Phil’s hand suddenly reached out and placed itself on Dan’s hand that was laying on the table. “I enjoy helping you. It’s what I like to do.”

Dan smiled and blushed redder. “I’m really glad you’re my friend, Phil.” He said. “I didn’t have any friends prior to coming here. Not even any when I was back home. No one wanted to ever hang out with the blind kid.” Phil’s face instantly dropped and an ache filled in his heart. “And I’m not even sure if you consider us friends because I’m not sure what constitutes as friends but you’ve been so kind to me and helpful. And I trust you and that just means a lot to me.”

“Dan…” Phil trailed off. “We’re friends.”

But saying the phrase “we’re friends” nagged at the back of Phil’s mind. Almost as if he was lying to someone. But it wasn’t in the instance that he was lying because it wasn’t the truth. It was almost as if he was lying because his body was telling him something different.

Dan was different to him. And Phil had yet to figure out if Ashlee, Louise, and Devon were right.

The first week of classes went by extremely fast and soon Phil was faced with the fact that the day was Friday. It was the day that Devon was going to be coming to his dorm room and there was no doubt in his mind that he was going to want something.

Phil knew in his heart that he shouldn’t let Devon talk his way into his pants again but he knew it was inevitably going to happen and pretty soon, Devon was going to be underneath him, moaning out in loud whorish moans like he always had.

In preparation for this to possibly happen, Phil decided to shower to clean up. He undid his clothing and pulled on his robe, ready to grab his towel and shower caddy when a knock appeared on his door. He looked at the clock on his microwave and frowned. It was only six and Devon wasn’t supposed to be here until eight. There was no way it could be him.

Phil closed his robe further and slowly opened the door, peeking out as he saw the hint of curly hair and olive skin. He opened the door further and looked at Dan who seemed to be visibly distressed, his hair disheveled and his skin flushed.

“Hey, Dan?” Phil said. “What’s going on?”

“I’ve knocked on five doors and none of them were you and I was beginning to get upset but that’s not the point.” Dan spewed out, his words all colliding with the other. “I don’t know where my room key is and my cane is in there and I can’t walk anywhere. I just wanted to go to the bathroom but I can’t find my key to my room now and…”

“Dan,” Phil said, stopping him, “You’re fine. I have a master key with me. I can open your room door for you so you can get your key and your cane.”

Dan’s face showed one of visible relief and that made Phil happy. But then the other nagging though plagued his head. He was technically naked right now. He was only covered by a thin blue robe and nothing else. He couldn’t walk the hallways like this to unlock Dan’s door for him.

He bit his lip and thought for a moment. Then he decided to just say it. “Can you give me like two minutes? I’m technically just wearing a robe right now and would need to put on a pair of sweatpants quickly.”

Dan’s cheeks flushed and he just stood there awkwardly. “Well, it’s not like I can tell that that’s all you’re wearing.”

Phil chuckled and laughed. “Can you just wait here for me? I’ll be just a second.”

Dan nodded and Phil gently shut the door before throwing his robe off and grabbing a pair of pajama pants that were slung on his desk chair and yanking them on. He grabbed a shirt next and yanked that on as well before grabbing his key that was also a master key and opening the door.

He had opened the door so fast and walked out that he wasn’t aware that Dan literally hadn’t moved from where he was stood and he ran directly into him. Their bodies collided and Dan let out a loud oomph before falling backwards, Phil on top of him.

Phil instinctively wrapped his arm around him, trying to keep them both up but their combined weight wasn’t making it easy. He felt Dan’s arms come around him in a desperate attempt to hang on as Phil straightened them both up. “I’m so sorry!”

Dan was breathing heavy, his chest heaving so hard that Phil could feel it in his own chest. “It–it’s okay.”

“No, it’s not.” Phil said letting Dan go, despite the Omega still hanging onto his shirt. “I should have been watching where I was walking.”

Dan smiled at him. “It’s okay.” He said more confidently. “I promise.”

“Are–are you ready to go unlock your dorm?” Phil didn’t know why his voice broke when he spoke. Maybe it was because his nostrils were suddenly filled with this sweet smell of Omega that just overwhelmed him from nowhere. Or it could also be because there was something about Dan’s touch and clinging on his body that sent a spiral of shock waves through his veins.

Dan nodded and his smile widened. With that, Phil began to walk down the hall, not even thinking as he neglected to check on Dan behind him. When he didn’t hear footsteps, he instinctively turned around and saw Dan was slowly taking step after step and that’s when Phil realized he should probably help him out.

“Oh, jeez. Here!” Phil ran back and let Dan’s arm link with his.

“You don’t mind helping me walk?” Dan asked sheepishly.

Phil shook his head. “Of course not.” He then quickly added, “I’ll always help you.”

Dan blushed at that.

They walked slowly and carefully down the hallway, Dan shaking slightly on his arm as Phil felt sad that Dan’s only source of comfort was locked in his dorm, unreachable.

“How did you manage to lock yourself out of your room?” Phil asked with a chuckle.

Dan blushed a deeper shade of red. “Um…I thought that since the bathroom was across from my room that I could just go there and find my way but as soon as I shut the door, I knew it was a mistake. And I turned around to try and go back and get my cane and that was when I noticed that my door was locked and I panicked.”

Phil smiled at him. “Hey, it’s definitely happened to me more times than I would like to admit. Except I’m the one with the master key so it’s even more embarrassing for me.”

Dan laughed. Phil smiled wider. Dan’s laugh was a beautiful harmonious sound that made Phil’s heart flutter.

Oh god, what was happening to him? Why was everything Dan did so perfect for him?

They reached Dan’s door and Phil let him go long enough to pull out the key and unlock it. He opened the door handle and found himself curious about what was inside. He was even more curious to see how Dan’s walls were littered with posters and how there was an obvious black theme going on from his comforter that was sideways on his bed to his backpack that was slung on the back of the desk chair (it was nearly all the way off but there was an attempt). The first thing Phil noticed though was not the color scheme, but the posters of anime and Muse on the walls.

Was Dan a fan of this stuff? Was that even possible?

“You like the band Muse?” Phil suddenly asked.

He turned to Dan who was still stood in the hallway, unaware Phil had opened his door already. But Dan nodded. “They’re my favorite band.”

“Mine too.” Phil added. “How did you find out about them?”

“Beth’s husband is a huge fan of them. He introduced me to them a few years ago and I’ve loved them ever sense.” Dan was smiling proudly at this. “My dream is to go to one of their concerts but Beth won’t take me because she’s afraid they’ll be too overwhelming.” There was a pause between them and Dan’s smile suddenly fell. “How do you know that I like Muse?”

Phil suddenly became aware that Dan did not know what his own room looked like. “Did you not know that you have three Muse posters in your room?”

Dan shook his head. “Beth decorated my room for me. I just stood back.” Dan paused and walked slowly up to Phil who was now stood halfway in the doorframe and halfway in the room. “Do you want to come in for a while?”

“Sure.”

Phil let Dan walk in in front of him. While Dan carefully walked to his bed, Phil looked around and took everything in. There was a tablet on his desk and some family photos, but nothing he could see from where he was stood. He had posters lining the walls and a black tapestry with some type of mandala flower on it. His comforter was of black and grey squares but it somehow suited Dan: and Phil didn’t quite know how he knew that.

“Your sister decorated your room with a black theme.” Phil stated.

Dan, who was now sat on his bed and fiddling with a watch on his wrist, didn’t look up from where he was staring at his knees. “I don’t know what black is.”

“Isn’t that what you see?” Phil asked, unaware of how ignorant his question was.

Dan shook his head. “I don’t see anything. It’s just nothing. I don’t know what black is because I’ve never seen it.”

“Isn’t it weird,” Phil began, “How someone like myself can see colors but someone like you hasn’t ever seen any.”

“What do you mean by saying ‘someone like me’?” Dan asked, his voice suddenly wavering.

Phil got the immediate sense that Dan was hurting from Phil’s word choice. And that in return made his own chest ache.

“I didn’t mean it like that. I just meant someone that was blind but that was incredibly insensitive of–”

“I have enough of a hard time being an Omega but I also have to be blind on top of that.”

“I’m sorry for what I said Dan.”

“It just fucking sucks, okay?” Dan continued, his stare still blank at his knees. “Omegas aren’t treated right in society. We’re looked down on because we’re all supposed to only be good for being pets towards our Alphas. And here I have to be blind and looked down on even more.”

“Can I sit on the bed?” Phil asked, changing the subject.

Dan nodded and Phil took a seat on his bed, scooting closer to him as he felt the urge to comfort the upset Omega. His Alpha instincts were kicking in.

“I didn’t mean to upset you, Dan.” Phil said slowly and softly. “I wasn’t thinking.”

Dan sighed, letting his shoulders fall. “It’s okay. I overreacted.”

“No you didn’t.” Phil said, having deja vu with their conversation that was similar to one they had earlier where Phil nearly ran him over.

Dan suddenly perked up and turned his body, facing Phil perfectly. “Can…this is gonna sound really weird…but can I feel your face? I want to try and envision who I’m talking to.”

“Of course you can.”

Phil watched as Dan’s hands moved upward until his fingers were gently rolling down Phil’s forehead towards his cheek. Phil closed his eyes and let Dan’s fingers roam over his skin in gentle touches. His fingers moved across his cheek and then slowly danced over his lips. And then they were brushing against his eyelids and down the bridge of his nose. He could tell that Dan was memorizing and studying every little bump and blemish on his flesh.

But it was soon over and Dan’s hands were no longer feeling over his face. Phil opened his eyes and looked at Dan who was blushing profusely and Phil was curious as to why.

“You’re blushing.” Phil said, chuckling.

“Your features just feel really unique. That’s all.”

Phil smiled at that.

“Just out of curiosity, but how do you know the time?” Phil asked. “How do you know what time to go to bed or…?”

Dan looked up, facing Phil’s general direction. “I have a watch on my wrist that vibrates when it reaches each hour. For each vibration that’s how I know what time it is. So one o’clock vibrates once and two o’clock vibrates twice and so on.”

“How do you know when it’s night?” Phil continued.

Dan sighed. “My sister normally calls me on my phone at ten so I can go to bed. I suffer really badly from Non-24 so she helps to try and regulate me.”

“Is it hard to be away from your family?”

Phil didn’t know why he was suddenly so invested in what Dan was like but his curiosity was getting the best of him in this situation.

Dan shrugged. “For the most part yeah, but I’m learning how to be on my own. Although it was a lot easier when I had Beth around twenty four seven but she got married last year to her mate so this has been the most I’ve seen of her lately.”

“I think it’s really nice how protective Beth is of you.” Phil said. “My family was no-where near as supportive as yours sounded to be.”

“Why’s that?” Dan asked, now being the one to ask the questions.

“My family thought I presented wrong.” Phil answered honestly. “My dad didn’t see me as being strong enough to be an Alpha so he had me tested multiple times. To be fair, I still think I presented wrong too in some regards. Like, I have all of the Alpha qualities and instincts but…I don’t know…I know my body is that of Alpha’s body.”

Dan nodded, his gaze now somewhere else.

“I haven’t gone through my first heat yet.”

Phil suddenly turned his head to Dan who was sullenly looking at the floor.

“What?”

“My family was scared of me going through a heat under my ‘condition’ so they put me on heat blockers when I was only thirteen right before I was supposed to present.” He paused. “But I don’t know if they’re working anymore. I’ve been feeling really weird lately and it feels like I could possibly get my heat but that makes me really scared.”

Phil suddenly felt a certain fire ignite in his stomach. That’s why Dan’s scent has been so strong for him lately. Dan was going to have his first heat soon. He should have known this growing up with his brother being an Omega but it completely slipped his mind.

“When do you think you’d get this heat if it were to come?”

“I don’t know.”

And that was when Phil got the overwhelming urge to protect this Omega at all costs and means necessary.

When Phil had met Beth the first day he moved in, he had to admit that he was slightly intimidated by her. For one, it was quite clear that she was protective. She was almost extremely assertive from what he could tell, which didn’t necessarily mean a bad thing. Phil knew most Alpha’s were like that.

But meeting her again with Dan by his side was slightly different. She had her blonde hair pulled back in a messy bun and she was wearing full-face makeup. And Phil had to admit that she was stunning. She shared the same facial features as Dan but she had a distinct expression that set her apart from him.

“I’m so happy to hear that Dan made a friend so fast!” Beth began. They were all sat in

the lounge of their floor. Beth was in the chair on the opposite side of them and Dan and Phil were sharing a couch. Phil felt a little uncomfortable in this situation. But he was slowly feeling less and less awkward around Beth. “When Dan told me about you, I knew he was in really good hands!”

Phil flushed a deep red and rubbed his neck with his hands. “That’s great to hear.” He said. “As an RA, my goal is to always make sure my residents are comfortable in dorms. Especially first years because I know how difficult it can be for them to adjust.”

Beth nodded. “I get it! When I moved into college my freshman year, it took me forever to adjust to the idea that I had to share a bathroom with anyone other than my brother.”

Phil smiled. It was so nice to have just a simple conversation with Beth. But then she suddenly stood up and adjusted her outfit, smoothing out her black dress pants and white blouse before waving Phil over and motioning for them to move out of the lounge. Phil was confused, but he turned to Dan who was twisting his folded cane in his hands and decided that if Beth was asking him to follow her, he should probably go.

“Dan,” Beth called back, “Phil and I are gonna go get a drink from the vending machine, do you want anything?”

“A diet soda please!” he called back with a smile.

Except neither Phil nor Beth made it to the vending machines near the elevator because Beth stopped them, her face laced with concern.

“Do not play my brother, okay?” She said harshly.

Phil furrowed his brows. “I don’t know what you mean?”

“Dan really likes you okay?” She said. “He’s never had a friend before and he really needs someone like you to help him out. I’m not gonna be around very often because my husband just found out we’re expecting and I’m gonna need to prepare for our baby.”

Phil felt his lips draw in a tight line as he thought about how Dan was going to react to his sister not being around more. But he didn’t say anything yet. He didn’t feel like it was time.

“I’m going to give you the crappy ‘don’t hurt him’ spiel but I am going to say that Dan needs someone. He’s very shy and reserved and he needs someone like you to help him. I’m honestly surprised that no one has done anything to him yet. He’s such a sweet Omega and way too many Alpha’s are going to take advantage of that and Dan would be the type to let them. So protect him.” She paused. “Please. For my sake and my brothers sake. Don’t let me or Dan down, okay?”

Phil nodded. “I wouldn’t ever do that to Dan.”

Beth smiled wide. “Good.” She said. “Because I can tell you and Dan have something special between you guys already. I don’t want to see it ruined.”

Phil just smiled at her, even if it was a little forced. She smacked his arm lightly and nodded towards the elevators. “Now let’s go get Dan his diet coke or else we’ll never hear the end of his pouting.”

Phil laughed at that, and followed her down the hallway.

When Beth left, he found himself saying goodbye to Dan and escorting Dan back to his room. Dan seemed fine with this, not protesting at how Phil seemed a little too eager to have Dan go back. But in all honesty, Phil was scared.

Phil was scared because everytime he looked at Dan, he felt something resonating deep in his chest. Everytime he thought of Dan, arousal pitted in his stomach. All he had to do with so much as say Dan to himself and suddenly he could smell him. It was all too much and Phil didn’t know what to do in this situation.

As Dan was about to leave the dorm room, Dan suddenly stopped him and asked him to stay for a little bit. Phil was confused as to why but he agreed and found himself inside of Dan’s dorm room, sitting on his bed next to him.

And that’s when Dan began to speak.

“Something is off with Beth.” He said silently. “She’s hiding something from me and I don’t like it.”

Phil knew it was that Beth and her mate were expecting a child but he didn’t want to say that outright to Dan without Beth’s consent about it.

“I’m sure whatever it is is because of good reasonings.” Phil tried to sound positive about it.

Dan shrugged. “Possibly but I don’t know. I don’t like it when secrets are kept from me.”

Phil felt his heart strings tug at Dan’s words and he wanted to reach over and wrap his arms around the Omega in a comforting manner.

So he did. He hesitantly rolled closer to Dan and put his arm around him. Dan stilled, tense. But he soon softened and leaned in closer to Phil’s touch, warmth spreading through them both. “Do you mind this?” Phil asked.

Dan shook his head no and continued to snuggle into Phil’s touch. Phil didn’t know why he instinctively put his arm around Dan other than the fact that his body was telling him that was the right thing.

“I’m tired.” Dan suddenly said. “What time is it?”

Phil pulled out his cell phone and saw the time. “It’s a little after two.”

“Can I take a nap?” Dan asked, staring straight ahead. “I won’t sleep for long.”

“Do you want me to stay with you?” Phil asked, curious about the Omegas response to his cuddling all of a sudden.

“If you don’t mind.” Dan spoke. “It’s really comforting to have your scent here right now. It’s not making me as anxious over Beth anymore.”

So Phil let him sleep, thinking it was cute how his eyelids fluttered shut even though he didn’t need to shut them. He looked over Dan’s soft facial features and he couldn’t help but think such sweet thoughts in his head regarding the Omega.

As soon as Dan woke up, Phil headed off. He had gotten a text from Devon asking if he could see him tonight and Phil decided that it couldn’t hurt.

So once Dan was comfortable and willing to let Phil go, he headed back to his dorm and waited for Devon to arrive. It wasn’t too much longer before a knock on his door appeared and his door swung open, greeted by the blond who was wearing sweatpants and a tee-shirt.

“Thanks for seeing me tonight.” Devon breathed out.

Phil could tell the Omega was stressed from the way his demeanor was shifting and his breathing was quicken.

“What’s going on?” Phil asked, suddenly sitting up straighter on his bed.

“I just need the comfort of an Alpha.” Devon cried out, suddenly running over to the bed and jumping on it, throwing himself onto Phil. “I don’t even need anything else. Just please hold me for a while and calm me down.”

“What’s wrong?” Phil asked again, worried over Devon and his actions.

Devon shook his head. “I just need to be comforting.” he spoke softly. “Can we just lay here for a while? You just holding me? I just need your comfort and Alpha’s always make me comfortable when I’m upset.”

So Phil held Devon, unaware of any consequences that could occur by him doing so.

And as Devon was about to fall asleep, his body relaxing on top of Phil’s, he took in a deep breath and winced. “You smell like another Omega.”

Phil looked down at Devon, suddenly remembering that Devon wasn’t the one he was after any more. But his body still held the Omega close anyway.
