A Hot and Sexy Alpha for Arthur (UsUk)

Chpt 16: Arthur's Boss is a Jackass

I have a new UsUk (technically UkUs if you want to name ships in order of who tops, but who gives an f?) Songfic book/story up for anyone who's interested. It's already completed and will have the introduction chapter, seven actual chapters, and a sort of bonus epilogue chapter that's a little longer than my normal chapters and basically pure smut. It's a little angsty, but it has a happy ending and Arthur does top. It's called 'Lips of an Angel (UsUk Songfic)' and as of me posting this chapter the introduction and first chapter are already up with chapter 2 coming later today and uploads of a new chapter every Saturday. (A/N & Chapter publish date: Sat, May 25, 2019)

A Hot and Sexy Alpha for Arthur Chpt 16: Arthur's Boss is a Jackass

Alfred stopped Arthur's hand as the omega tried to hide the heat suppressant pills and patches, looking concerned. "Arthur... Please tell me you only use those for emergencies. You don't... That bastard didn't ever make you." Alfred paused as he tried to swallow the lump in his throat, "Work through parts of your heat or come back early... Did he?" Alfred looked devastated at the idea.

Arthur looked down, upset at himself for upsetting Alfred, even if his bosses actions weren't rationally his fault. "It's alright, really. I've only ever had to work through a few. And coming back a day or two earlier isn't all that bad. It's not like unmated alpha's get a week off randomly so it's really rather unfair anyway." He said softly, trying to convince Alfred it wasn't all that bad, "Please don't be so distraught. I promise it's just him trying to find more ways to make me out to be weaker, more way to make me out to be more of a joke... That's why I can't let him be right." Arthur finished, trying and ultimately failing to sound strong and determined.

Alfred was shocked at Arthur confirming his suspicions. Alfred couldn't help how upset Arthur's words made him, but at the same time was more heartbroken than he was angry. Heartbroken at the idea of Arthur silently suffering through his work on those crucial days of his heat when he should be relaxing and readjusting to his surroundings. Alfred could hardly believe there was something so horrible going on in the company right below his nose.

"Arthur... Arthur, that isn't okay. My mother would be outraged if she found out. That's absolutely horrible to force an unmated omega to go back to work only where all their colleges are alphas. My parents pride themselves in giving their omegas a proper week-long leave with extra days if they need it. Arthur... You have to understand I really can't forgive that monster for doing this to you or any other omega. I can't not do anything about this. My father had already been getting complaints of harassment against him and was going to fire him, but making an omega work during their heat is not only wrong on so many levels, but also illegal. It's not weak to need time to take care of yourself and it already sounds like he cuts the alphas far more slack and is far more lenient with their vacation time. Frankly, he's a sexist pervert and I'm going to make sure he regrets the day he was born." Alfred's tone got angry at points, but his voice soft and steady as he didn't want to scare Arthur.

Arthur shook his head and hid his face in Alfred's shirt. "Come on, Alfie please don't say anything. If someone wanted to know they could see my work logs. Just let it come up on its own. I can have the office hating me more than they already do. I know it's not right and all and I appreciate you looking out for me but everyone would have it out for me. The next boss could fire me just for being a disruption to the work environment." He said softly, "If I get him fired for it I'm just 'too weak to keep up,' I love being an omega really, but it's true. If I let him get the better of me like this he's going to think he's won. He's the poster boy of a shitty toxic alpha personality. Even fired it's still a win for him on some level."

Alfred shook his head and pet Arthur's hair sweetly as he held the omega in his arms. "You're not the only one he's hurt, Arthur. You won't be alone if you stand up. He's winning be being allowed to continue while going unpunished and be rewarded as he oppresses you and keeps you silent."

Arthur snuggled closer, "I guess if you were already planning on firing him anyway, 'Mr. Jones.'" He laughed softly, "I still can't believe he was arrogant enough to not believe you even just in case. To be honest, it's probably because he couldn't see someone like me with someone like you." Arthur shrugged, "Jokes of him."

"That's it, baby boy. As much as you thinking over-working yourself is the way to win, it's not. You play more into his hands by allowing him to step on you as you come at his beck and call when he needs someone to do all the dirty and hard work. Don't you realize he's been taking advantage of you wanting to prove your usefulness by dumping projects all on you when the deadline's about to hit so he can blame you when it doesn't come out right in order to cover up his and your co-workers' mistakes? That's no way to live, Arthur. Set standards for yourself. Show alphas who oppress you that you won't let them use you Like that. Stand up to them by standing for nothing less than exactly what you deserve."

Arthur blushed, "You really care a lot about omega rights. If you ever choose a mate one day they'll be the luckiest omega ever... Provided you should choose an omega that is." He added, remembering there were videos for alphas and betas as well. "Either way your omega friends and brother are incredibly lucky as well. There's a lot of alphas that say they believe in the cause, but don't go nearly far enough to show it."

Alfred nuzzled Arthur sweetly, the omega having calmed down but still smelling of preheat. "What can I say? My mom raised me well."

Arthur nuzzled Alfred back happily. "She must be an amazing woman to have raised someone as sweet as you and build such an amazing business at the same time." Arthur replied before pulling back just a bit. "Now, what would my alpha prefer I use?" He asked sweetly, not realizing he'd said my alpha.

Alfred smiled at that but didn't comment, not wanting to embarrass Arthur. "A mix of patches and some low strength pills. I want to get you some food and get you out of here, but only that. Whatever combination is best to last you maybe three hours," Alfred requested.

Arthur took a half a Benadryl sized pill and put a patch on both glands on his neck since they were the most important for hiding his preheat scent. "There, that should do it. Don't you think?"

Alfred nodded his approval as he adjusted his hoodie he'd put on Arthur earlier in order to better conceal the patches for Arthur's sale more than his own. Arthur's scent gradually cleaned from the room. "I'm ready to go when you are, sweetheart."

Arthur nodded and took a deep breath, "I'm ready. If you'd like to keep shopping we can, the suppressor also help mellow out alpha scents in large groups." He said, not wanting to mess up Alfred's plans for their day.

"I would say no, but you did want to get some lingerie for tonight... Would you like to go buy some of that and then we can get food and leave?"

"Anything you want alpha, I promise to tell you if anything is too much," Arthur replied and stood up, holding his hand out to help Alfred up.

Alfred smiled at that and took Arthur's hand as he stood. "You wanted something sexy for tonight, let's go get you some lingerie."

"What styles do you like? What would I look good in?"

"Why don't we go find out?" Alfred offered as he picked Arthur up in his arms again, gathered their stuff, and walked back into the store before leaving the said store.
