I'm dead without you (omegaverse)

"I will take care of this!"

Finian got home late that evening, completely exhausted. Professor Haddad was a chatterbox; once the man started talking, nothing would stop him. But it had been a good talk. And Finian was now even more convinced than before that he had no other choice than to make Dorian accept Shiro.

Professor Masoud Haddad was the foremost expert in fated pairs, and luckily he was in London doing a study. It had been surprisingly easy for Finian to get the busy Egyptian to meet with him. They had previously talked when Finian was doing his research for his studies. Hence, they already were acquaintances, and when the professor heard that Finians husband had met his fated pair, professor Haddad immediately agreed to meet with him.

Finian was invited to Haddad's home in Kensington. He was served tea and biscuits, which he didn't manage to eat after that rich chocolate cake he had earlier. Finian was more of a licorice person; sweets didn't quite fit his taste.

First, the professor, an alpha around ten years older than Finian, gave his condolences to Finian's misfortune, and Haddad looked genuinely sorry for him. According to the professor, this was the first time where it was the alpha that already had a partner. Earlier records showed that only two omegas had previously been with a partner, but never the alpha.

In Prussia, 1737, an already married omega had been forced to leave her husband and daughter. Against her will was she demanded to be with her fated person, a nobleman. The omega later took her life out of grief. This was a famous story which had been made into an opera, novels and serval movies.

The other omega, who lived in the Ottoman Empire in 1895, refused to bond with his fated person and ran away from her with his beta husband and two children. Both the alpha and the omega died a few weeks later.
Finian listened while Haddad talked about everything he knew about these alphas and omegas that were perfect matches. And the black-haired man certainly knew a lot. He showed Finian records of nearly thousands of fated pairs. There had been a lot more fated pairs before. As the world population grew, it seemed like the chances to meet one's fated person got slimmer. Records showed that fated couples were more spread out around the globe now than ever before. In the last hundred years, almost every fated pair were born in different countries. It was no wonder that fated pairs didn't occur that often nowadays, but Haddad couldn't explain as to why it was so.

Finian told Haddad that he had met with Shiro and that he was hellbent on helping his husband and the omega get through this safe. Finian complained that Dorian didn't even want to talk about it. Haddad was impressed with Finian and repeatedly said that he had made the right decision. Because there wasn't much else they could do.

The sad truth was that there was no single record of omega and alpha ever to escape the bond with their life intact. No witchcraft, offerings, medicins, even removal of scent glands, nothing ever worked. So Finian just abandoned the thought of being able to make the connection between Dorian and Shiro go away and do the best of the situation. And he decided that in less than five days, he would lure Dorian to meet with Shiro. Finian hated the idea; he knew that Dorian would be furious with him. Still, he didn't see any other choice. Dorian needed Shiro's pheromones, or else he would get sick.

And Finian needed Dorian. He needed him as a father to his children, and he required Dorian himself because, without him, the light in his life would vanish, and there would be only darkness. Finian knew that his dependency on Dorian was complicated, to say at least. But Finian didn't want it any other way. Dorians was his other half, and without him, he couldn't be whole. And if that meant he would have to share him with Shiro, then so be it.

When Finian got home, it was already past dinner time. The children were at friends, and Finian could hear Dorian, he was in their bedroom. Finian knew he couldn't be frank with Dorian about what he'd been up to all day. This was the first time in their relationship that Finian kept things from his husband, and he was nervous. So when he stepped into the bedroom, he saw Dorian sitting at the end of the bed, staring down at his phone. He knew with just one look that Dorian was upset.
