College AU (a/b/o dynamics) Porn with plot.
Falling in love wasn't easy, let alone finding someone to fall in love with. But Harry, an omega attending school for the first time, was determined to. He had been sheltered for so long, it was time to meet the world, his mate, his one true love. But who's that quiet yet captivating male he's sharing a dorm room with? And why can't Harry get him out of his mind?
Or: Just a cute and sweet story about how Harry fell in love with Tom Riddle. (Beware of some shameless smut tho) (No non-consensual sex in any shape, way or form I promise)
=====
Harry almost whimpered when he heard Tom's voice, the deep and smooth baritone of it sending jolts of electricity down his spine, and he unconsciously squeezes his legs together. A waft of aroma invaded Harry's nose, and suddenly, all he could smell was the sweet sweet Alpha fragrance that was Tom's. It consisted of cinnamon rolls mixed with a tint of charcoal flames, the heavenly scent of it only made Harry want to bury his face directly into Tom's scent gland and take a good whiff of it more. It was unlike any other Alpha's scent he had ever smelt before, as they only made Harry nothing but nervous, and to be honest, it was more of a stench. But this, Tom's, made Harry felt safe, content, the butterflies in his stomach fluttering their wings wildly.
=====
"Please. I need you, Alpha."
"That's not the point! The point is that I'm being married off to some unknown child and there's nothing I can do to stop it."
Liam rolled his eyes and sent an exasperated look Zayn's way.
"He's three years younger than you, that's hardly a child. Now, if it's the age thing that bothers you, you won't have to bond for another nine years, at least. Your parents will only start getting on your case after you become Alpha."
Zayn snorted.
"As if he's gonna wait that long. Lou's pretty much the definition of his perfect omega. They'll be Mated way before the Ceremony."
Harry threw a hard punch to the bag, splitting it at the seams and letting the sand trickle to the floor while Liam groaned in annoyance.
"You lot need to stop assuming you know everything about me. I get to choose who the perfect omega for me is, and it's not gonna be him!"
[or, the one where they're definitely not perfect for each other, and the only reason they even mildly get along is for work purposes. It's all perfectly platonic and for convenience's sake, really.]
