Barry // 22 // Alpha

[atticusrumsfeld-blog]

Atticus was tired. He was actually beyond tired. He was more tired than he had ever been in his entire life. Being pregnant was taking a toll on his body. Thankfully, the morning sickness had stopped but he was still stuck with swollen feet and back pain. Working full time also wasn’t helping. He left every day in so much pain that he wanted to take a bath in ice. Being this tired made him question why he was at the park at that very moment.

He was seated at one of the benches, looking towards the playground. He wasn’t being weird or creepy. Instead, he was watching how the mothers there interacted with their children. He tried the imagine himself in that situation with his own baby. It was easier to imagine now that the baby was growing. He smiled at the sight before noticing someone walk over to the bench. He looked up and smiled again. “Did you want to sit?” he asked, being uncharacteristically nice.

Barry was out for a run at the park. He had been slacking off on his routine lately and had noticed that it was starting to take effect. he could barely run up two fight of stairs without running out of breath. Maybe allotting a little time everyday for a short run could help, 

He had been going for half an hour now and thought it was about time he took a short break. Looking around, he noticed a free seat on one of the benches and hesitantly walked towards it. He noticed the other person already sitting there but sighed in relief when the seat was offered to him before he could even ask. “Sure, if you don’t mind?”

“Have you checked the local park?” Leo asked with a raised eyebrow. “Or how about the arcade? I don’t know how old your younger brother is.”

“I checked the park already but I didn’t think of checking the arcade. IT’s not really his kind of environment but if he wants to stay hidden then maybe that’s exactly whee he is. He’s 19 by the way and till a few days ago, he was still in heat”, he said, frowning.

“Are you always this eager to help complete strangers look for their missing brother or is this just a one time kind of thing?” he asked, a small smile on his face.

“I’m always open to helping anyone who’s missing. As town folk, we should all help one another.” He said with a slight pout.

Barry raised his eyebrows at that, not having expected it. “Okay...maybe you can help me think of places I haven’t looked at?” he suggested.

Leo rose an eyebrow before shrugging. “If you’re sure. Although I don’t have anywhere to go anyway right now.” Leo chuckled. 

“Are you always this eager to help complete strangers look for their missing brother or is this just a one time kind of thing?” he asked, a small smile on his face.

Really, what better way would there be to spend the day than helping someone? Grayson smiled, bouncing on his toes happily. “I’d love that!” He ran a hand through his hair nervously, looking around at their surroundings. “Your brother! Let’s see if we can find him. Uh, where have you looked around already? Did you try the park? The stores up the road?”

Barry smiled and nodded. “Sounds like a plan.” He looked around, trying to think of places that he hadn’t looked at already. His head snapped up at the mention of the park. “I’ve checked the stores up the road but it didn’t come to mind to check the park. Maybe we could try there first?”

“I see,” Emerson hummed though, really, he didn’t see at all. How could he, when he was an only child whose view of the world was stunted by his abandonment at such a young age. “I know an omega who’s pretty rebellious! But he’s also very smart and knows how to read situations very well so he doesn’t get into any more trouble than he can handle. It’s very admirable.” Somehow, Cade always ends up in the conversation. “Oh, um, I don’t really mind? I talk a lot sometimes too. Though usually it’s only to my best friend or my pup.” He was unaccustomed to seeing an alpha blushed and blinked up at the other owlishly in assessment. “Am I making you nervous?”

[barry-hale-blog]

“That sounds like a great guy. I mean, what’s life without a little bit of risk? But at the same time you don’t want to risk so much you end up in trouble”, he said, nodding.  Barry looked away and bit his lip. Why did he always manage to sound and look like such a loser around others? “Uh...no? Not really? I mean, no. It’s not really you it’s just...me? That makes absolutely no sense I’m sorry.”

Leo rose an eyebrow as the other suddenly stepped up to him and started asking him about his brother. Do I look like the fucking police? Is what he wanted to say. But he knows better. He needs to portray the perfect image of innocence and charitable…Lucky for him, he’s been practicing it for awhile. “I’m afraid not.” He said, faking a frown on his face. “Would you like me to help you look? Two noses are better than one, after all.” 

Even though Barry knew that at this point he could use all the help he could get, he wasn’t sure whether to accept or not. He felt that he had already bothered the other enough and accepting his help would be too much. “I don’t want to interrupt whatever it is you were doing. I’m sure you have better places to be right now. Thanks though.”

“Oh, I wasn’t really! I mean, I was—but I wasn’t.” Grayson laughed, nervous about his mess of words. It always seemed like he was tripping over his words constantly. “I was just going to the library to find a good book but that’s not important at all! If you need the help, I’d be more than happy.”

Barry bit back an amused smile at the other’s rambling. “It’s okay, I get what you mean. I guess if you’re sure that it wasn’t anything important then I would love some help looking for him. Maybe I can walk you to the library afterwards?”

omegaemerson:

“Do you live together?” inquired Emerson, still perplexed at the idea of an omega being watched after by someone who isn’t his mated alpha. It wasn’t his fault his view of the world had been significantly narrowed once he was kicked out of home, abandoned. “I guess I wouldn’t really know – I don’t hang out with a lot of omegas my age and, uh, I’m not too rebellious? Maybe that means the answer is no!”

Barry nodded, a small smile on his face at noticing the surprise of the other. “Both my omega brothers live with me. When my mum died, I kind of took over caring for them because my dad was always busy with work and I guess that just never changed.” He laughed, relieved. “Good to know that not all omegas are like that then. Not that there’s anything wrong with being rebellious. It just drives me a little crazy sometimes when they do exactly the opposite of what I wish they did and I’m going to stop now because I’m talking too much”, he rambled, blushing.

omegaemerson:

Emerson’s brow creased a little at that. “Surely he’ll be fine on his own?” Most of the omega’s Em knew were living on their own by his age, having something to do with gender and class differences. Cade had told him enough about the injustice of the world to help him figure out that much. “I’m 19!” he chirped, expression lightening at his similarity to this missing brother.

Barry tensed up at that, not having expected being called out like that. “I worry so close after his heat. Especially since my brother likes to think of himself as some kind of rebel and is always getting himself into trouble”, he defended himself with a frown. “Oh, that’s nice. Quick question, since you’re 19 as well, is that the common age where everyone stars rebelling?”

omegaemerson:

Emerson had left Rosebud in Cadence’s care, trusting his fellow omega with the life of their pup. It left him free to run errands for them both, deciding on dropping by the pet store to price check and purchase more supplies for the rescued dog. He was about to round the corner and enter the store when his attention was piqued. “Sorry,” he offered automatically, sensing the presence of an alpha and assuming he’d done something wrong to attract the other’s gaze. Upon hearing the question, however, Emerson paused. “Oh. No,” he frowned, taking in the other’s features. “What’s his name?”

Barry quickly shook his head at hearing the other apologise, thinking he was apologising for not having seen his brother. “It’s okay, there’s no need to apologise. I should have been more attentive and not let him leave without talking to me first”, he reassured, a small smile on his face. “His name’s Matthew and he’s 19.”

Outside the general store, Grayson stretched his body out until he heard the satisfying crack of his back. After all the picking up and setting down of boxes, Gray could feel the muscles in his back groaning. He was in desperate need of a good massage… if only his hands could reach that far and he could do it himself. He wasn’t feeling his best anyway for other reasons, the countdown beginning. Now done with work, Grayson was ready to try and make the day fun. Walking down the sidewalk, he started his way toward the library ( his idea of fun ). Someone’s voice startled Grayson, the omega jumping back as he stopped. “Ah… you know, I can’t say that I did? I’m sure he’s not far. Do you need help looking for him?” Gray asked, offering a helpful smile to the alpha.

Barry let out a disappointed sigh but tried to smile. His brother couldn’t just disappear so he was sure that he was going to find him eventually. No reason to take it out on anyone else. He looked at the omega doubtfully at hearing his offer. “You sure you’d want to do that? You seemed to be on your way somewhere, I don’t want to interrupt you or get in the way.”

Dex is texting as he walks home from the garage, enjoying the pleasant late afternoon rays of sun. He looks up when he hears someone talking. “Who me?” He stops in his tracks, only realising once he looks around that the two of them are the only people around. Duh. “Uhhhhhhhh…” He pauses, not really knowing what to say. Who was this guy? And who the hell was his brother? “Sorry. I haven’t seen anyone who looks like you around. But how old is he? Can you give me a litte more info?” He asks.

[barry-hale-blog]

Barry tried not to feel too disappointed when the guy he asked said he hadn’t seen anyone. It wasn’t his fault after all. “He’s 19 years old and he’s an omega. I’m worried because his heat only ended a few days ago and he should know better than to go out on his own so soon afterwards”, explained. 

[barry-hale-blog]

Barry was reaching his limit of patience. He had been looking for his younger brother all day long and the more time that went by, the more worried he got. Barry was not stupid. He knew that his brother often thought of him as being overprotective and maybe he was but who could blame him? Anyone would be worried if their omega brother suddenly disappeared so soon after his heat ended. He saw someone about to walk past him and sighed. Barry had never been the kind of alpha that enjoyed involving other people in his business but he wasn’t left with much choice. “Excuse me”, he called out. “Sorry to interrupt but you wouldn’t happen to have seen my brother right? He’s an omega and I guess we look pretty similar.”

Hey! It’s Kristina and I’m the one who also plays Alex Rathaway. You can find the bio for Barry right here if you want to know more about what he’s like. He’s pretty much a protective, loveable goof. 

I would love to plot with anyone so if you have anything in mind or are interested, hit me up or like this post!

Bio: Barry Hale

[ BARTHOLOMEW “BARRY” HALE ] is [ 22 ] years old and looks so much like [ GRANT GUSTIN ], it’s uncanny. He is a/n [ ALPHA ] and is [ A FORENSIC SCIENTIST ]. People might describe him as [ CLUMSY, STUBBORN & AFFECTIONATE, KINDHEARTED

Barry doesn’t come from what you would never consider a “good” family. His father died when he was seven years old and his other father was left to take care of him and his two younger brothers all on his own. When Barry presented as an Alpha he was quick to step up and help so his younger brothers almost see him as a kind of father figure. When his younger brothers presented as omegas, Barry had to watch as other alphas made fun of them and sometimes tried to force them to do stuff against their will. That’s one of the reasons why he hates the system. He just doesn’t believe that there’s anything wrong with being an omega because that would mean thinking there was something wrong with his brothers.  

He has nothing against mating if he actually finds someone that he has feelings for but he can’t really imagine himself with kids. He’s way too busy looking after his siblings to think about having children of his own. Besides, he’s scared of being in a situation where he’s considered ‘in control’ of another human being.
