Bonded, Body and Soul

The Presenting

Chester's POV

It was a normal day, Parker and I were sat upon the couch, watching a movie we both were wanting to watch for a while now. We had a bowl of popcorn sitting between us. We'd occasionally touch hands. I would mutter out a soft 'sorry', he would reply with something along the lines of 'its okay' or some other variation of it.

The movie we were watching was something about a forbidden love between an Alpha and Omega from two opposing families. It seemed to be a popular trope upon recent movies and dramas, but we started this one to see if it was any different and it seemed to pull some other heart strings for myself. But... at times I'd get distracted...

I would look over to Parker and admire him. Yes... I liked him. You would just say "why don't you just confess to him??"

And I would just have to laugh at that.

We've been friends for a long time so it was a bit embarrassing, plus he was an Alpha male. I was a beta male. We couldn't really physically be compatible for each other. Sometimes I wish I was an Omega, but I would never truly wish that upon myself, I know the hardships they have to go through at times, but... at least it would make it easier to get with Parker.

I remembered when he first presented. We were in college at the time, hanging out at the park, tossing a random football we found between each other. I turned away for one second before hearing the sound of him collapsing and I noticed how the people around us were covering their noses. I turned to Parker to see him shaking on the ground, his face was red and he was panting. The smell then hit me and even me being a beta, it almost made me pass out with how aggressive the scent was.

I had called 9-1-1 and he was transported to a hospital. I was able to visit a week later and I was informed he presented as a Dominant Alpha. The Alpha part really wasn't a surprise, but the Dominant part was different.

It took him forever to be able to go outside without some form of protection from the pheromones of the outside world. Even though, I had such faint pheromones, he would always seek me out and would practically have his nose buried in my wrist to calm himself down.

He thankfully was used to everything around him by the time it was time for us to graduate College, but I just knew it was rough for him.

I couldn't imagine.

Though, I was crushed to know one day he'd find an Omega. Yes, I wanted him to be happy, but... I wanted him to be happy with me...

I sighed out as I glared at the screen with jealousy as the Alpha and Omega shared a heated kiss. Parker looked over at me with a raised eyebrow.

"You good?" He asked. I tensed and nodded frantically, "yes, of course I'm fine. I'm just... thirsty! I'll be right back!" I grabbed my empty cup and rushed over to the Kitchen.

Parker just shrugged it off and looked back to the television.

I grabbed some of the Orange Juice from the fridge and right as I began to pour the drink, I felt... nauseous all of the sudden. My stomach began to twist as my body temperature began to rise.

The sudden change caused for me to drop the juice upon the glass, causing it to shatter as I fell to the ground.
