"SAM, SAM, WAKE UP YOU MUSHROOM!" Louiswhisper shouted, rolling his eyes when Sam mumbled a 'no more fungus jokes' in his sleep, shifting his blanket to cover his face.
Louis looked around them, and saw that his mother and sisters were still asleep, he silently thanked the heavens that they were all heavy sleepers. Sighing out a breathe of relief, Louis snapped his head back to Sam and ripped the blanked off of the taller teen, causing him to whine a small protest, before accepting the fact that Louis was going to get him up no matter what.
"Lou-eee," Sam stretched out, getting up into a sitting position and stretching his arms out and smacking his lips a tad. The sun isn't even up yet. What is it now?"
Louis almost cooed at his adorable looking friend. Sam was the only alpha in the world Louis would ever be close with. Sam was rejected by the Highlands, and even his family when he grew up. His lack of young alpha characteristics (strong, confident, bold) and his emotion side made him shunned away, banishing the boy to the Lowlands.
It was fucked up. The whole thing. When Sam first came to the Lowlands, he was lost. No other omega, human, or poor beta family wanted the lad. Alphas were hated here. Sam had severe anxiety, and his shyness didn't help with the situation at all. Louis' mum put Sam under her wing, and Louis thought of himself as Sam's bodyguard ever since then.
Louis' hatred for the highland alphas only grew after that situation. To him, emotional feelings are natural and valid for anyone to have, including alphas. Stereotypes are dangerous. Once you don't fit yours, you think of yourself as an outsider. You think of you self as a waste of space, and that's what had happened to Sam.
Sleepless nights that were filled with loud sobs and short 'what's wrong with me?' sentences. Sam's anxiety turned into a self couscous mess. The fear of rejection consuming him.
Louis gave out a scoff, "Do you not know what day it is?"
Sam furrowed his dark blond eyebrows, pondering for a while in deep thought. "Independence Day? No, no, that's near winter.." He mumbled the last part. And went back to his facial expression as it was before.
Louis flicked his head.
"It's Mating Ceremony day, you bafoon. I'm going to get my.." Louis gulped and his eyes filled with disgust as he though he might throw up, "Alpha."
Sam's lips tightened in a straight line, knowingly.
"Lou...." He whispered gently, placing a comforting hand on Louis' back, rubbing it up and down in messy, straight lines.
Louis didn't only hate Alphas because of their egos. He hates them because of his experience an alpha in his life. Let's just say, he wasn't always a Lowlander.
Louis shook his head and got up, holding out a hand for Sam to take. Louis looked around the tent one more time, before whispering in Sam's ear, "And that's why we're going to go steal a wand."
