40 year old omega Steve who lives a boring life with an office job and no luck with love, happy to just tend to his gardenâŚ
At least until his loud, obnoxious 20 year old neighbor Eddie goes into his first rut and ends up sniffing him out and barging in to fuck him.
Steve knows itâs a bad idea.
The alpha is hot, but heâs also way too young for Steve. Eddie should be calling up a friend to spend his rut with or acquiring a âpocket omega.â
But Eddieâs growling and promising to knock him up and put his pups in Steve and itâs hard to say âno.â
Steveâs an experienced omega and heâs been a rut partner more times than he can count, but excitable, fidgety, virgin Eddie is a whole new experience for him.
Heâs horny, sure, but heâs also worshipping Steve and lavishing him in compliments and sweet kisses.
Even in the midst of their bang-a-thon, Steve feels special. He feels desired, even.
Nobody has called him pretty in at least five years, but Eddie canât seem to stop saying it like itâs a fact.
âPretty omega.â
A kiss.
âSo pretty, Steve.â
A knot.
âMy pretty mate.â
A bite.

Wealthy omega Steve going on an arranged date each week to the same restaurant because his parents want him to find a mate.
Alpha Eddie who busks in the parking lot for tips and always offers him a cigarette and a shoulder to cry on after it doesnât work out.
It takes them a while.
âAnother one? Thatâs the third date this week, pretty boy. You going for a record or something?â Eddie asks, already holding his half-finished cigarette out for Steve to take.
He does. Itâs his only reward for doing all of this.
Well, that and Eddie.
Eddie makes this easier.
Steve takes a long draw from it, craving the burn of nicotine more than he cares to admit to himself.
He craves Eddieâs company too, but thatâs between him and the cigarette.
âYeah, my parents are working overtime it seems. Theyâre bound and determined to have me mated off before spring.â
Steve laughs.
Eddie doesnât.
âThey sound awful.â
They are. Their insistence on old-fashioned values and treating their omega son like a burden to be rid of is proof enough.
âThey mean well,â he says. âI think.â
Eddie hums thoughtfully. Itâs clear that he disagrees.
Steve passes the cigarette back.
The alpha snubs it out on the sidewalk theyâre sitting on instead.
âHow long are you gonna keep doing this for?â
âWell, as long as it takes to find someone whoâs interested, I guess. Thereâs not an exact timeline or anyââ
Eddie startles Steve when he cuts him off with a growl.
He doesnât look mad, but his forehead creases, deep frown, and sour scent speaks of irritation.
âNot what I meant.â
Oh.
âI donât know, Eddie. Theyâre my parents⌠and itâs not like Iâve got anyone else knocking down my door.â
Even his dates arenât interested once theyâve met him in person.
Steve always looks good on paper. Heâs attractive and from an upstanding family, a decent investment at first glance.
But then he opens his mouth. Thatâs where their interest always ends.
Sometime between shaking hands and dessert, their eyes get bored and they start checking their watch more. They donât bother to hide that theyâre running out the clock, eager to be away from Steve.
He thought it would hurt less after a while, but it doesnât.
âHow many times are we gonna do this, Stevie?â
And now even Eddie is bored with him. It makes sense. Theyâve been meeting up for months and Steve isnât worth much for stimulating conversation.
It had to end eventually.
âIâm sorry. Iâ I didnât realize I was bothering you. I can leave you to your gigging, man. Let me justââ
Steve reaches for his wallet, pulling out a thick wad of bills to shove in Eddieâs guitar case as an apology for taking up his precious time.
Compensation for the therapy.
âHey, noâ thatâs not what I meant, baby. I justâ ugh, why is this so hard to say?â Eddie groans, grabbing at his own hair in frustration.
Steve hasnât the faintest idea whatâs ailing Eddie. The guy is normally chill 100% of the time. Itâs why Steve goes to him for comfort. Heâs hard to shake.
âSorry?â he tries.
âNo, Iâm sorry! I just canât sit here for yet another evening and pretend like there are more fish in the sea for you or whatever,â Eddie explains frantically, his eyes begging Steve to understand.
Ouch. Okay. Point made.
Steve is unlovable, got it.
He stands, brushing off his slacks so his shaking hands arenât as noticeable.
Keep cool. Breathe.
âUnderstood. I wonât bother you anymore then. I can park across the street next time too. Good luck with everything, Eddie. Iâm sure your band will get signed soon, youâre a talented musician.â
Eddie shoots to his feet, almost tripping over his own lanky limbs in the process.
He grabs the sleeve of Steveâs dress shirt, stopping him from leaving.
âDonât go on anymore dates.â
Jesus.
âYeah, I got it the first time, thanks. Iâm undesirable. Can you stop repeating it?â
Eddie looks like heâs been slapped, but he doesnât say anything back. The bluntness must have caught him off guard.
Steve sighs, attempting to pull free from the alphaâs grip.
He almost manages it.
But then Eddie snaps back to reality and his eyes go wide for just a split moment before he kisses Steve right on the lips.
Itâs unexpected to say the least.
Itâs also probably the best kiss of his entire life. Too bad itâs from someone who just told him to quit dating because nobody will ever want to court him.
They finally break apart and Steve sways.
âEddie⌠what in the actual hell are youâ?â
âI love you! I love youâ Iâve been in love with you for months, but you insist on going on all these dates with alphas who have no taste and they keep breaking your heart and leaving me to pick up the pieces, but I donât want to keep handing them back. I want to keep you, Steve. I want to be the only alpha you go on dates with.â
Steve stops trying to run away.
Instead, he yanks at the collar of Eddieâs shirt, tugging him into another, longer kiss.
This is love, huh? Makes sense.
His lips are warm and so is his heart. Patched up once more and encased in a body other than his own
No more arranged dates.
âThat was a âyes,â in case it didnât translate.â
Eddieâs face is flushed and his happy smile is infectious.
âI donât have the kind of money your usual dates have, but I had this really cute guy way overtip me earlier. Can I buy you dinner, pretty boy?â
Itâs the first of many.

Eddie and Steve had a will they/wont they going on for years while Eddie did the whole famous rockstar thing. And now heâs on a break. Two platinum records with Corroded Coffin behind him, Eddie can finally concentrate on Steve. And the miracle is that Steve never resented Eddie for focusing on his career. That wasnât a problem for him. He waited (sometimes patiently and sometimes not) until it was his turn, and when they got together, it was just as incredible as both had expected it would be.
So you canât blame Eddie for writing his first solo album all about Steve. Heâs done hiding in the closet for his career, so itâs he/him pronouns and filthy imagery. Shockingly it sells like you wouldnât believe. In fact, heâs getting picked up in markets he never reached before. And when he gets the numbers for radio stations, heâs killing it on stations totally unfamiliar to him. But heâs still completely wrapped up in Steve so heâs not paying a lot of attention and he lets his manager take care of everything.
The mystery is revealed the day they get a package from Wayne. It contains clippings from newspapers and magazines, and a note that just says, âSomething you want to tell me, boy?â All the headlines are some variation of âFormer Satanist Eddie Munson Releases Worship Album quietly signaling his conversion to Christianityâ
Eddie is furious and Steve has to watch him throw a tantrum yelling and screaming. When he eventually calms down Steve reminds Eddie that doing zero press and releasing songs like, âOn My Knees in Worshipâ and âHe is my Sunrise and my Salvationâ might in fact be a little misleading.
They spend the rest of the night giggling about all the good Christians listening to songs about their sex life.

Just⌠hard of hearing omega steve being sad because heâs figured that heâs never going to be able to find his soul mate because he canât hear them laugh. In a universe where you know who your soul mate is by the sound of their laugh, the sound of their voice, etc. Any noise the person makes youâll just know. Of course he can faintly hear his dates talking, but itâs commonly only a slight buzz. He hasnât been able to find good hearing aids that donât agitate his ears, and if he canât find his soul mate then heâs going to find someone for true love. And if he wears his aids most commonly said person doesnât put a whole lot of effort into making sure he understands them.
The problem isnât that he canât hear them talk. Heâs okay with that. Heâs used to that, he was mostly born like this and then a few to many concussions messed his hearing up more. The problem is when he makes the date laugh they make it soft. To soft for him to hear. Like they are trying to not be themselves around him. Betas are shyer then the Alphas. Which means they laugh softly, afraid to mess up the opportunity of making it with a omega. Then most of the Alphas were to busy trying to make him laugh so he doesnât catch what they are saying. So heâs given up on the thought of mates.
Then he meets Eddie. Dustinâs DnD dm. Whatever that means. He doesnât have his hearing aids on, knowing that the loud noise of the kids would overstimulate him. The smell of Alpha filling his nose, a scent like fresh cut wood, coffee and nutmeg. Itâs a relaxing scent and he beams as he finally meets the âother guyâ to Dustin. Itâs no secret that Steve is a omega, everyone knows it. Though he doesnât give a shit and will talk to every one the same. Instead of being shy or reserved with a alpha like most omegas heâs open and sincere. Part of the reason why he has so many people around him to begin with.
Dustin does something, causing Steve to retort a soft joke. Feeling the words leave his mouth, probably with a slight slur to them from not hearing them fully. Which no one cared about. Though what startled him is Eddie. Who tosses his head back and laughs. Actually laughs and it goes back to his brain. He can hear it through the buzz. Eyes wide and a soft flush to his face and just like that he knows. That this Alpha was his. Who doesnât know it yet.
âYou have a nice laugh.â He hums gently. Watching the small blush on Eddieâs face, confusion showing next. Obvious to ask how he could hear him considering he hasnât been able to hear anything else. Steve turns his head catching something Dustin does and laughs himself. Not realizing Eddie was having the same realization as him.
What they both donât know is that Dustin set this whole thing up.
