Alpha and Omega

4

TW: Brief mention of rape, just one question Scott asks.

***

"They're going to fall in love." Scott says once the Betas are out of the room.

"I hope so. All Toddy has wanted is to be in love." Mitch adds on.

"Oh, Mitch I need to talk to you about your old Alpha. Do you want to wait until later so Todrick can come or would you like to do it now?" Scott remembers.

"We can do it now, Sir. I don't mind." Scott stands up and starts to walk down the hall but quickly turns around and holds a hand out for Mitch. He takes the Alpha's hand as they proceed down the hall.

"You can sit anywhere you'd like." Mitch nods and sits on the bed, Scott sitting next to him.

"So your old Alpha. What was his name and how old was he?" Scott asks, starting out easy.

"Carson Yates. I think he was 30, Sir."

"How long were you with him?"

"I was in his pack for two years, I met him three years before that. He told me that if I didn't become his Omega when I graduated, he'd kill me."

"That's terrible! Mitch, I am so sorry." Scott's heart hurts for the small boy in front of him.

"I'm just glad you found and saved me, Sir. Thank you for that."

"It was no problem, Mitch. I couldn't let him hurt such a beautiful Omega like you." Mitch blushes and looks at his lap, murmuring a small 'thank you'

"How long was Todrick in your pack?"

"He joined after he graduated medical school, so I think over a year."

"So he is what? 27? And you're 20?" Mitch nods and Scott continues.

"Did Carson physically and verbally abuse you?" Scott knew the answers, but he has to ask, it's the rules.

"Yes, Sir."

"Did he ever rape you?" He asks, voice softening a little bit.

"Not... down there, Sir. Toddy never let him get that far. But.. he.. um.. he made me p-put it in m-my mouth."

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry. Those are all the questions you need to answer. Is there anything you'd like to ask me?" Scott stands up.

"May I please have a hug, Alpha?" Mitch asks, also standing up. Scott gently wrapped his arms around Mitch, being mindful of his bruises. They pull away after a few seconds but Scott continues to stare at the Omega.

"Alpha? Why are you staring at me like that?" Mitch asks, cheeks turning pink.

"You're so unbelievably gorgeous. I've never seen anyone more beautiful." Scott practically whispered in awe, causing Mitch to look down.

"Thank you, Sir. You're very attractive as well, you know." Mitch tells him.

"Thanks, Mitchy. C'mon, it's late. Let's go eat and get ready for bed." They walk to the kitchen and get some mac and cheese before sitting down and eating it. Once they finish, they get ready for bed.

"Okay, so there's a few options for sleeping arrangements. Since we don't have extra bedrooms, I could probably room with Kevin so you and Todrick can share my room." Before Mitch can respond, Avi walks out from the hall.

"Kevin and Todrick fell asleep, so I don't think that'll work out." He informs them.

Mitch giggles quietly, "Are they snuggling?" Avi smiles and motions him to follow so he can see them. Kevin is laying on his back with his arm around Todrick, who has his head on Kevin's chest and an arm thrown across his stomach.

"They're so cute." Scott says once they close the door. "So about sleeping arrangements. Mitch you could probably take my bed and I can sleep on the couch."

"Alpha you don't have to give up your bed for me. I'd be okay with sleeping on the floor or couch. My old Alpha made me sleep in a small closet so I'm okay with anything."

"Mitchy, I'm not letting you sleep on the floor. I really don't mind staying on the couch."

"You can share the bed with me if you'd like. I think I'd prefer not to be alone tonight." Mitch tells him.

"Only if you're sure. I don't want you to be uncomfortable."

"I'm sure, Sir." They walk upstairs to Scott's room and lay down. Just as Scott's about to doze off, he hears Mitch whimper quietly.

"What's wrong?" Scott asks, opening his eyes only to see bright blue ones.

"I'm sorry, Alpha. I get really anxious at night." Mitch informs him.

"Hey now, there's no reason to apologize. What can I do to help?"

"Will you hold me?" Mitch whispers after a minute.

"Of course." Scott turns onto his side and gently pulls Mitch into him, wrapping an arm protectively around the Omega as the latter curls up into his chest.

"Thank you. Goodnight, Alpha." Mitch says with a small yawn.

"Goodnight, Mitch." Scott responds, already falling asleep.
