The Stark-Parker

Cherry Bratfort

Cherry Bratfort was an A+ physics engineers' student at MIT and she was pretty, she was sure of that. Not to brag, but she was Prom Queen and won the Miss Omega of the state of California when she was 17. She had tons of Alpha's after her since pre-k, but she stayed mateless for the sake of her career and because she was picky. Like all the other sane omegas, she had the Alpha-Prince-Charming in her head, and she would not settle down for less.

When she got into MIT, it was a whole new world of suitors. She could now pick them by brains or looks or money, and the options seemed infinite. Around her first year though, her eyes caught the sigh of a Peter Parker, and she knew that was the Alpha for her. She just knew it.

Peter Parker was an awkward Alpha; he had a slim body, not too worked up or not too skinny, his body was just perfect. His face was angelic, and he had this beautiful, sincere smile always on. He was so smart, had the cleverest answers and the most important questions, he was kind and gentle and he smelled divine. She introduced herself to him through a friend in common, Connor, and the talk between them flowed easily and they soon started sitting together at the cafeteria, along with all their group.

In the first's months, when all you can talk about is about classes and favorite foods, movies, and the entire lunch group laughed at some dumb science joke Peter always did, Cherry just waited for Peter to share some of his life. His Instagram had almost no photos, and he didn't have any other social media. He never talked about himself, letting slips of his life be known rarely. He lived in up NY and a black car took and picked him every day.

This Alpha was everything that she ever wanted.

Her heart breaks when she was scrolling through her Instagram once and Peter's face was in a tabloid face. She clicked at it and saw the other pictures. She reads the articles. The rumors that the billionaire Stark is escorting young Alphas in need. Or that Peter was a sugar baby-selling his body. Some of them write that they are a fling, every playboy has a fling sometimes, one of them says. The photos are of Peter walking in the streets of NY with the billionaire by his side, he has his big, honest smile on while the older Omega is pointing at something.

In their next lunch, all their friends laugh and question Peter. How did you meet him? Is it serious? Is he a good laid? Is it serious? Isn't he a little old? Is it serious? Are you guys just friends? Is it serious? Peter smiles through it all and says that he will 'let you guys guess it". His voice isn't mean or malicious, just playful and the scent is happy. Cherry knows she should just give up, just start fresh and don't worry about it. So of course, that when she gets in her dorm, she spends the night eating ice cream and searching the life of Tony Stark. She knew him, everybody did, she just wanted to dig deeper.

By the end of the night, she knows that an Alpha like Peter could never have a lasting thing with an omega like that. For everything, Peter is, Stark is the exact opposite. He's smart, of course, and filthy rich but he has a bad record: Drunkenness, twice arrested, used to do drugs, selfish, snobbish and a slut. He only had 2 relationships and they ended in the courtroom, he already had 3 sex tapes leaked. He was what her parents back in California called: An inappropriate, dirty omega. Fun to play with but not marriage material.

It made her heart mend itself.

........................................................................

As the month pass, everyone noticed that Peter changed. Not much, but just enough. He wouldn't touch anyone, he even rejected one of Cherry's hug that one time. And the rumors just kept going, no stop. His Instagram got a million followers and he stopped going to parties. If he was closed before, now the boy was a locker. Cherry tried to keep going, she passed the tests, talked to her family and went to some lame dates. She decided that she wanted to become the ideal omega and worked harder on exercises and in showing Peter, subtly that she was a great suitor.
