Calling Out (For Somebody To Hold)

"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.]
