How about something that completely turns the usual A/B/O dynamics on it's head? Everybody assumes Jay is an alpha, because LOOK at him. But then Carlos's first heat hits him, and everybody expects Jay to be the one to help him with it, and he does by making Carlos as comfortable as possible, but Jay doesn't actually seem affected at all by being near him. Surprise: Jay is a Beta (or, and I would love you forever for this, also an Omega) and is kind of confused that nobody knew that.
In order to keep with the SpookyABO that @hannigram-a-b-o-library has prompted for this week, I made this a little more Halloween themed, I hope you still enjoy!
Evie runs up to him, appearing from nowhere, panting and sweating. Her pigtails are coming loose and her blue and white checkered dress is ruffled in all the wrong places. âJay! Carlosâ heat,â she gasps, âjust hit.â
He only groans. Of course itâs in the middle of a Halloween party with half the school. âWhere is he?â
Jay follows Evie quickly, she parts the crowd easily with her confident strut. She knocks rapidly on the bathroom door where Mal is casually leaning outside, broomstick and witchâs hat on the floor, with Ben, who wonât stop pacing. âCarlos?â Evie calls sweetly, âI brought Jay.â
Just as the door cracks open, Ben steps forward. Heâs decked out as a scarecrow, ridiculous make up all over his face and straw poking out of his collar. âIâm not sure if itâs a good idea for you to be here.â He speaks softly, calmly, like heâs not sure how Jay will take his words. âWe can escort Carlos back to your room.â
Carlos sneaks out of the bathroom and leaches himself to Jayâs side, burying his face in the crook of Jayâs neck. His lionâs mane is askew and heâs sweating through his brown shirt, trembling as he grasps Jayâs arm.
When he sticks his nose into Carlosâ curls, Jay canât smell anything (not that he expected to) but recognizes the signs of an omega in heat. He knows that his silver tunic - they all went as characters from some ancient movie that Ben was crushed to hear none of the Isle kids had ever seen despite the fact that they lived without electricity and television and entertainment their whole lives - canât provide the skin-on-skin contact that Carlos craves right now and itâs winding him up more. Instinctively, Jay holds him close, tries to comfort him. âHow are you holding up, C?â
âAlright, letâs go.â Jay tries to lead him away from the group, but stops at Benâs bewildered look. âWhat?â
âYouâreâŠnot affected by Carlosâ heat?â
âIâm sorry,â Ben flushes, âI justâŠI assumed my control would be stronger than yours. I have an omega and a beta of my own,â he wraps his arm around Mal, who looks curiously at him, âand Iâm slightly affected by his scent.â
âWell youâre an alpha, so of course youâre more affected,â Jay states. Though, he admits heâs very impressed of Benâs control. Very few alphas on the Isle exercise the same discipline the king does.
Ben makes another strange expression. âYou areâŠnot an alpha?â
âHuh?â Jay tries to divide his attention between a needy and whining Carlos and a confused Ben. âNo. Did you think I was?â
The king turns pink. âI, well, I assumed thatâŠâ His voice is lost in the party music around them.
âJust stop there,â Mal puts a hand on his chest, âthereâs no good way to end that sentence.â
Evie rubs Carlosâ shoulder. âYeah, Jay looks like a big bad alpha with his muscles, but heâs just a big, soft omega like Carlos and Mal.â
âWhat the hell did you just say, princess?â
âSo if youâre not his alpha,â Ben turns red, all the way to the tips of his ears, âwho will be, ahem, assisting Carlos? Do you⊠Do you need toys or-or-.â
âNo, Iâm still gonna fuck him,â Jay grins when Ben sputters. âNice and hard like he wants,â Carlos pants beside him, nuzzling further into Jayâs skin, âprobably all week.â
âEww, too much detail,â Evie groans.
âBut youâre notâŠâ Ben falters.
âOmegas wanna please in our heat,â Jay explains. Jeez, Auradon needs to improve their sex ed classes, âwe can please other omegas too.â
âAnd when my heat comes around, heâs gonna do the same thing,â Jay purrs, winds his fingers in Carlosâ hair. âIâll be on my hands and knees for him for days.â
âStop it!â Evie snaps. âYouâre gross.â
âYeah, definitely,â Mal is starting to look as green as her witch costume is meant to be.
Jay makes a show of sniffing the air. âI donât think Benny-Boo is grossed out,â he laughs, âsmells like he likes the idea of two omega together.â
âCome on, C,â Jay pulls him along quickly, sticking to the edge of the room until they reach the exit, âletâs get you home.â
