A/N: I'm going to add a WARNING to this chapter. There is unwanted touching and what can easily be considered sexual assault occur in this chapter. It's nothing extreme like I've seen in some fics, but I wanted to offer a warning before those who read this fic. I don't know what triggers people now a days, so I want to cover my steps.
After three days of enduring the most tension building experience of his first rut, Adrien was finally glad to have the experience officially over.
To say he wasn’t appreciative of the amount of care that his parents gave him would be a lie. He greatly appreciated all the work and effort that his parents, Nathalie, and Arthur did for him. It was because of them that his first rut went off well enough to have survived it. Though that issue with feeling relief became an issue, it was miracle that he managed to receive it after many failed trails within the first two days.
However, even though things went as smooth as they could have gone, only one thing still penetrated his mind.
THOSE. DAMN. MARINETTE PHOTOS.
Even after a day Adrien couldn’t get those images out of his mind. Those legs, that body, that sexy gleam in her eyes. He wanted to know how they convinced Marinette to partake in doing those photos in the first place.
Did she want to take those photos?
Did she want to do those photos because she wanted him to see a side of her?
She had to have love him enough if she agreed to doing the photos, right? The thoughts continued to swim through his head as he continued to replay the entire magazine images. Gods, he’d do anything to have the chance to see Marinette in those outfits in person. Then another thought came to play. ‘How the hell am I going to face Marinette in a fews hours?!’
That simple thought halted him dead in his tracks. In just a few hours, Marinette and all his other friends and fellow co-workers would be arriving to the mansion for his eighteenth birthday bash.
Other than your typical sweet sixteen birthday, your eighteenth birthday was the greatest moment to experience. It was the marking of your maturity, the beginnings of reaching your full presentation stage. The time where you can officially marry and live with your mate. A huge milestone in a person’s life.
A moment that Adrien knew his parents were extremely proud of and excited to see their son begin the new chapter in his life. And one that he gets to share with his closests friends, aside from others due to his current employment. The best part about this large gathering is the change to spend it with his wonderful omega.
Looking around his bedroom, Adrien notices some disorganized messes scattered around the large space. His movie collection thrown about with movie cases scattered lazedly about along the tv stand and shelves, his bed undone from being transported to the heat room during his rut, and clothes scattered along the floor. Noticing the mess, Adrien hums in thought as he thinks and considers that he shouldn’t have thrown his clothes lazedly in the room and actually walked to his dirty clothes hamper.
Seeing the mess put a small hint of red on his cheeks at the embarrassment of his own unorganized self. That alone pushed further thoughts about others seeing his room like this. One in particular. ‘What if Marinette wanted to come up here?!’
What if he and Marinette wanted to kiss?
Adrien slapped a hand over his eyes, groaning at the thought. Could you blame the young man? The thought of Marinette and him sharing a kiss was wonderful. If he had to wish for one thing to come true for his eighteenth birthday, it would have to be the chance to have his first kiss with his beautiful omega, Marinette. Call him crazy, but nothing would be more perfect than that.
And if that moment were to arise, knowing Marinette as well as he did, she would want a nice, quiet place to share a loving moment.
Sliding his hand down his face, Adrien glanced around his room again and calculated. There was still five hours before his party and his parents, along with the staff of the house, were busy decorating and handling all the catering. Plenty of time to clean his room and reorganize.
He had a lady to impress. That gave him at least three hours to make sure his room was clean and at least two hours to get ready and prepare for his party. He’s got this. He can totally do this.
Peeking glances around his room he knows he’s got his work cut out for him. The things he does for his lady.
******
Across a few arrondissements, at the Tom and Sabine boulangerie, Marinette is sitting along her chaise with discarded fabrics, scissors, assortments of beads and other fabric decorative items scattered around her. Assortments along her chaise and scattered on her bedroom floor, it was clear that Marinette was in her prime and space of fashion. And she had a goal of finishing her last minute design for a special occasion.
Since the past three days after Adrien’s unfortunate, unexpected approaching rut cycle, Marinette planned a special outfit for her alpha. A tingle circulated through her body at the thought of calling Adrien her alpha. Though it was fairly new of her to take such action, something inside of her was convinced that if Adrien was going to refer her as his omega, then why not refer him as her alpha. And if she were being completely honest with herself, it felt magnificent calling Adrien hers.
After being asked to participate in a private photoshoot to model and dress in Agreste clothing for Adrien’s benefit, Mme. Agreste offered Marinette a shirt design that was to be released in their next catalog. She was ecstatic to say the least when she was gifted with this item, but it offered Marinette design inspiration to create a full outfit with the new shirt given to her. And once she received a text from the Agreste about Adrien’s party being held Saturday, it offered Marinette a perfect opportunity to show off and impress her alpha.
With Adrien’s party being today, she couldn’t wait to prepare and dress in the outfit she had been planning since receiving the text. And even though she and Adrien never planned on showing much affection other than the typical cuddling and contact of touch, a big part of her was feeling that he wanted a little more just like her.
Ever since he kissed her, well, on the corner of her lips and cheek, she’s never wanted anything more than to fully kiss the young man fully on the lips. With it being Adrien’s eighteenth birthday today, a large part of her wants to give him a special gift of giving them their first kiss. And if she truly thought about it, Alya and Nino were right. Her and Adrien shouldn’t wait and rely until they were both eighteen and rely on the possibility of the 'destined' mate. If they were able to be happy without even knowing now, they’ll still be happy even after knowing then.
Hopefully, those photoshoot images was enough to give Adrien the hint that she was there for him whether she was in person or not.
Stitching the last glitter disc shape piece on the lining of her red stain jean shorts, Marinette finally completed her outfit for Adrien’s birthday bash. With two hours to spare it was time for her to get ready and dressed for the party.
Standing from her chaise, Marinette gathered all the mess of scattered fabric supplies and cleaned up. Placing leftover fabric and other small pieces from being cut into her basket of fabrics, organizing accordingly so the leftover cut strips of fabric didn’t mix with the unused fabrics. Securing all her sewing utensils into her sewing box, Marinette set her finished product on her chaise.
Heading to the closet, Marinette retrieved her new shirt gifted to her by Mme. Agreste and brought it to her chaise to set beside her red jean shorts. Bending down, she reached under her chaise and grabbed her black converse shoes to wear with the outfit. Satisfied, Marinette grabbed a towel and headed to her bathroom to get ready for Adrien’s birthday.
******
Stepping out of her bathroom forty minutes later, wrapped in a fluff pink towel, she strolls to one of her drawers and picks out a lovely black lace bra and panties. Sure she thinks it might be unnecessary, it always felt pleasant to feel sexy. That, and she wants to use it as a confidence builder when she arrives at the party and interact with her awaited alpha.
Dropping the towel, Marinette put on her black lace bra and panties; feeling the comfort of the lce and soft fabric hug her body. Strolling back towards her chaise, Marinette reached for the red shorts and pulled them along her legs and secured the button closed. Glancing in her mirror, she smiled at the glimmer and reflective surface of the red bedding shining from the light of the window and room lamp. Turning back to her chaise, she reached for her new shirt and threw over her head and slid her arms through the sleeves and spun back around to look in the mirror.
Her smile grew as she looked at the outfit. The shirt gifted to her was a light grey hue in color that ran from her sleeves and down towards the bottom hem of her shirt, though gradually fading in gradients along the way down. In the front of her shirt, a light sepia, mixed with gradients of red and pink, was an image of the Eiffel Tower stood near the left side with some Parisian buildings running across the other side, the Champs Elysees taking place in the background behind some of the buildings. In the bottom right corner was a small image of red heeled, styled shoes and a pair or pink rings. The center of the shirt with perfect cursive text that said Paris, France. Finished with black and white zebra patterns blended towards the bottom to the end of the shirt.
In all, the shirt and shorts fit perfectly against the curves of her body. She couldn’t feel more proud of her comforting attire. And she couldn’t wait for Adrien to see her show up and admire the design. Even though the shirt wasn’t hers, the rest was created by her and designed to match along the Agreste original.
Turning to look at her cat, Tikki, lying in one of her cat hammy, the blue-eyed calico watched in comfort as her owner prepared for her mate’s party.
“What do you think, Tikki? Does it look good to you?” Marinette asked her calico.
Lifting her head, Tikki gave a pleasant and agreeable response, a smile running along her muzzle; tail swaying side to side in happiness and content.
Moving away from the stand alone mirror, Marinette heads to her vanity and reaches for her hairbrush to begin styling her hair. Looking into the smaller mirror of her vanity, she gazes at her raven hair and decides on a hairstyle. Her hair grown out through the previous years, passing a little further from her shoulder, almost reaching mid shoulder blade.
Brushing her hair straight, Marinette grabs the top half of her hair and ties it up in a small ponytail. The tail end resting and nearly blending with the lower half of her hair. Grabbing her flat iron, Marinette curled the ends of her hair until they flipped up, the different layers flipping in different lengths to offer volume. Then finally, she styled her bangs to one side, using hairspray to hold everything together.
Applying a light touch of blush, soft rose eyeshadow, and clear glitter lip gloss, Marinette was finished and ready for Adrien’s party.
Heading back to her chaise, Marinette placed a pair of grey socks and her black converse shoes on. Tying the laces, Marinette jumped up, giving a twirl in excitement, and headed to her desk to retrieve her gift for Adrien. Giving Tikki a pet goodbye, she headed downstairs and down to the bakery where her parents were finishing the last touches of Adrien’s birthday cake.
Once the decision was announced that Adrien’s birthday bash was scheduled for today, Gabriel and Emilie called Tom and Sabine about making a five layered cake for Adrien. The Dupain-Cheng’s happily accepted, agreeing to make other treats for other party goers. Besides, Tom and Sabine would take any opportunity to make something for their future son-in-law. It was pretty clear to both set of parents that their children were bonded to the end.
Finished with the cake, Marinette helped her parents with the pastry, holding the large box as her parents picked up the five layered creation and set in carefully inside the box. Securing it closed and tapping the ends shut, Sabine and Tom removed their aprons, both already dressed in nicer clothing for the party. Hanging up the aprons, the family of three locked up the bakery and exited through the back of the bakery’s kitchen the family’s car, a silver Peugeot. Placing the cake in the back of the trunk of their car, all three enter the car and drive off towards the Agreste home.
******
Back at the Agreste Mansion.
Adrien was standing in front of his large bathroom mirror, finishing the last minute touches before heading down to his party. Grooming his hair and styling it in his familiar, but the sides combed back more, and his bangs flipped and flowing closer. Shaving and trimming his jaw line, leaving a small stubble of blond facial hair. Though it’s not thick and still early in the growth process, Adrien couldn’t help but leave the new development of his growth. If he’s lucky, maybe Marinette would find it attractive.
Shaved, hair styled to his liking; Adrien takes a few steps back to get a better look of himself in the mirror. Standing tall, Adrien wore a green t-shirt, similar to the color of his eyes, with three gold stripes running across his chest. A thin black jacket over top his shirt with neon green trimming and interior, smokey grey fitted jeans, and green converse with his parent’s logo on the sides. And finally, Marinette’s lucky charm bracelet on his left wrist.
Hearing the doorbell of the mansion ring, all the guest begin arriving signaling Adrien to head down stairs. Grabbing his phone from his desk, he places the phone in his back jean pocket and turns to his bed where Plagg is lying and staring at him. Adrien stares back at the cat with a warning glare.
Pointing a finger at his cat, “Don’t get into anything, Plagg.”
Plagg raises a brow, questioning the boy before laying his head down on the bed. A huff escaping the cat as he flicks his tail.
Adrien closes the door and mutters, “Damn cat.”
Heading down the hallways and main stairway, Adrien comes into view of the entire entry way and side rooms where classmates and fellow models from his job begin crowding and filing in. Reaching the bottom of the steps, Adrien begins greeting everyone who’s arrived.
All greeting Adrien in return, Kim gives a playful punch into his shoulder, giving him a side hug afterwards.
Max coming up next to pat Adrien on shoulder, wishing him a happy birthday. It was still weird seeing Max at the same height as him, but was a great change when playing basketball with the others at school.
Alix came forward next, giving Adrien a quick hug, wishing him happy birthday, before giving a more forceful, playful punch to his shoulder, opposite of the one Kim punched.
Following the three came Juleka and Rose, both giving Adrien a hug with Rose becoming all gidding. Nathanael and Chloe following after, offering him birthday wishes and congratulating him for reaching his alpha maturity. Thanking them, the couple head off towards the food catering table for refreshments.
Ivan and Mylene following close behind after a few minutes, giving their greetings and heading off to refreshments table.
With others trickling in, Adrien moves aside and begins roaming around for his closest friends when he hears a familiar voice.
“Hey, bro!”
Turning around, Adrien catches Nino and Alya approaching the blond with smiles. Entering a three group hug, Nino is beaming when he looks around at all the decorations, foods, and refreshments set up.
“Damn, Adrien, you’re parents went all out from this party. It’s insane what you all have set up. Even the DJ they hired to play in the small hall over there is actually good.” Altering his features, Nino gives Adrien a glare, a playful gleam flowing within, “Though I’m hurt you didn’t ask your best friend to DJ for you. My heart crumbled when I saw that a DJ was hired instead of me.”
Chuckling, Adrien pats his friends shoulder, “My apologies, Nino. You know if I had any say in this, I would have most definitely hired you as the DJ. Unfortunately, my parents planned this all during my previous situation of being housed and spending majority of my time in the heat room. Though I will admit my parents did a pretty good job with this.”
“I’d have to agree with you sunshine.” Alya spoke up, “This is probably the most lively party of yours you’ve had. But I won’t mark it against you since you’re parents planned this one.”
“Thanks, Alya.” Adrien returned. “Did Marinette arrive with you two?”
He hadn’t seen his love anywhere amongst the crowd in the rooms. He would have thought his lady would have arrived by now. He wanted to be near her and hold her.
Adrien lets out a frustrated whimper, Alya and Nino laughing at his behavior.
“Calm down, lover boy. Mari should be here shortly. Be patient, Adrien.” Alya said as she tried to calm the blond.
Releasing a sigh, Adrien looks at Alya, “I’m sorry. I just haven’t seen her in...three days? I just feel like I have Mari withdrawal.”
The sound of whooping and clapping began echoing through the first floor of the mansion as Adrien, Alya, and Nino walked towards the entryway to see the commotion taking place. Reaching the entryway, all three peaked their heads up and watched as Tom and Sabine Dupain-Cheng entered through the front doors holding a large box. His mother and father walked forward and guided them towards a circular table standing in the middle of the foyer, right in front of the main stairway. No doubt his parents placed it there moments ago.
Walking towards the table, Tom and Sabine carefully placed the large box on the round table. Cutting the edges of the box where the tape resided, the couple pulled apart the sides of the box to reveal the five layered birthday cake. All the party goers were in awe at the intriquent and carefully crafted design of the five layered creation. Adrien himself was blown away at the creation, still amazed by the steady hands of the bakers. People took out there phones to take photos of the intriquent cake.
“Do you like it, minou? They worked really hard on it.”
Hearing the familiar voice from behind, Adrien spun around and came face to face with the love of his life. However, he wasn’t prepared for the gorgeousness that is his lady in the breathtaking spunky attire that she wore. The shirt being recognized from his parents next line and her red shorts hugging her hips and lower thighs wonderfully. But what caught his breath was the way her hair was styled. Beautifully framed around her face, and curled at the ends, the little amount of makeup breaking out her features further.
The entire image of Marinette standing before him brought back those distracting, enchanting, lovely photoshoot pictures.
OH FUCK.
Gods, his omega was going to kill him.
Her giggling broke Adrien out of his hormone induced brain to find her smiling up at him, her cheeks tinted in a soft pink. Wait. Did she know what he was just imagining?!
“Do you like it?” Marinette asked, taking a hand and flattening her shirt. “I specifically designed this around the shirt.” She looks up and moves closer to Adrien, resting her left hand on his chest. The heat of her touch could be felt through his clothing and it felt wonderful. “I wanted to make sure I impressed my alpha.”
Adrien’s green eyes bugged out a bit. Was he hearing things correctly? Did his omega just call him hers?!
Taking everything in, he watches Marinette slightly lean back, biting her lip in that adorable fashion that always drew him in and glancing towards her lips. Witnessing her saying he was her alpha ignited a spark of desire, possession, and relief. All the stress he built on himself had finally dissipate. A long waited breath leaving Adrien.
Wrapping an arm around her waist, Adrien pulls Marinette towards him until she was flat against his chest. Eliciting a giggle from Marinette, she leans against him without hesitation and rests her head against her alpha’s chest. Neither of them thought they’d break away from waiting til they were both eighteen to wait to grow more physical. But, if they were being true to themselves, they were thrilled to have broken that promise.
Both desired the closer physical contact. Whether it was for instinctual purposes or relationship purposes, Adrien and Marinette would gladly take the new bond as is. And to think, all it took to push the contact and relationship (one they will have to talk about) further was an unexpected early presentation cycle and the self confidence of a photoshoot for a mate.
“Your alpha, huh?” Adrien asked, looking down at Marinette.
Pushing her head up, leaning her chin in his chest, she gazed at Adrien, looking into those gorgeous emerald green eyes of his and simply smiled warmly back at him. “I figured since you keep referring me as your omega, I should return the favor and begin referring you as my alpha. I thought it only be fitting that we called each other ours.”
Suddenly feeling sheepish, she asks, “Is that alright with you, Adrien? I didn’t stop to consider to ask your feelings on this.”
Adrien’s heart burst further with affection for this amazing young woman in his arms. She didn’t have to worry about him feeling anything against this new development into their new bond, this new, dare he say it, relationship. He’s waited for so long to claim her as his own and he’s not gonna risk losing her now.
“I’ve waited four years to call you mine.” Returning the smile, “As long as you’ll have me as your alpha.”
Standing on her toes, Marinette leans up to rest her forehead against Adrien’s, him leaning down to accommodate the height difference.
“Yes.” Marinette replied.
Leaning away from from Adrien, Marinette unwrapped herself from his arms and handed him her gift for his birthday. “Happy birthday, minou.”
Taking the gift from her hands, Adrien pulled the ribbon wrapped around the decorative box, tossing the ribbon to the nearest side of the room, and opened the lid. What he saw inside pulled him into awe and warmth to burst into his chest yet again. He recalls all the gifts his parents had ever given him through his entire childhood growing up, but he couldn’t recall the last time he ever received a handmade gift.
People may question how he would know this gift was handmade, but if there was anything he knew about Marinette, and he knew a lot, was that she always created handmade gifts. So when he saw two handmade knitted scarfs in the box, he was breathless. Even without touching them, Adrien could see how comfortably soft the fabric was and no doubt how warm they would be upon wearing them.
Slipping the top of the lid underneath the bottom of the box, Adrien reached in to pull one of the scarfs out, rubbing his thumb along the fabric and knitted patterns, completely admiring the craftsmanship and dedication stitched into this gift. It felt incredibly soft to the touch, almost like he was running his fingers against silk. The creativity in this family never cease to amaze him.
“These are incredible, Mari.” Marinette watched the sincerity in his eyes as they gleamed in adoration. And Adrien indeed was worshipping these scarfs. A Marinette original. “Thank you.”
“Your welcome. I wasn’t sure about colors at first, but I thought blue would look rather charming on you, especially with your eyes during certain seasons or whenever it got cold. I also thought green would look gorgeous on you as well, since it would really go along with your eyes. So I decided to do both to save trouble. Figured you could wear whichever you preferred or whichever goes along with a certain outfit of yours.”
Wrapping his arms around Marinette again, Adrien draws her in and nuzzles his head against hers, leaning to to leave a kiss against her temple. A small tingle shooting throughout both their bodies from the contact.
“Alright everyone! Let’s get this party in motion!” Shouted Mme. Agreste.
Finding Nathalie, Adrien asked her to place Marinette’s gift up in his bedroom for safe keeping. He didn’t want to risk losing her gift amongst the others or risk someone stealing them.
Thanking Nathalie, Adrien reached for Marinette’s hand and walked her across the foyer to the other side of the house, opposite of the food and refreshments side. Making their way to the right side of the house, Adrien and Marinette arrived to the dance room.
Others were already dancing amongst each other, stepping to the bass of the beat from the music. The DJ dancing at his spot near the mixing soundboard as lights danced and glowed along with the bands being played. The current song featuring Adrien and Marinette’s favorite, Jagged Stone.
Stepping onto the dance floor, Adrien positioned Marinette in front of him, both facing each other as they begin dancing and swinging to the music. The beat moving their bodies as everyone attempts to match the tempo.
Grasping Marinette’s hand, Adrien twirls her around and spins her away and pulls her back in. Both falling in sync with each other and matching step for step. Following and repeating the same motions and movements.
As rock and pop instrumentals blend to a slow musical beat for the first slow dance, Adrien and Marinette moved in sync, as her arms wrapped around his shoulders, his wrapped around her waist. Pulling her closer, Marinette rest her head against his chest a second time today. The current moment being shared between them becoming one of their favorite memories. Yes, they’ve danced previously in the past, but to them, this is the first time officially bonded and within the realms of a relationship.
For Adrien this day couldn’t get any better.
As the slow song switched to a more upbeat song, Adrien and Marinette leaned back from each other. Small streams a sweat beginning to gather along their foreheads from the heat encased in the room from the amount of bodies scattered along the dance floor.
“Would you like a drink, my lady?”
“Yes, please.”
Agreeing on a refreshment, Marinette informed Adrien that she’ll step aside by the wall on the right side of the dance floor. Waiting for his return with the drinks. Nodding, Adrien exits the dance area and heads to the other side of the foyer to retrieve their beverages.
For Marinette, she found an empty space along the right wall of the dance floor, gazing out to the floor and watching others continue dancing amongst the music.
Following some of the dancers, she managed to find Alya and Nino amongst the other dance goers. Dancing and swinging freely with one another as the duo swerved along the other dancers like professional dancers; in complete flow and in sync like water running through various rocks along a stream.
Watching her two friends dance gave her happiness. She was happy for those two as they were always in sync. The two of them always there for the other, always supporting one another and their dreams. She couldn’t wait herself to finally begin a life with her bonded mate. To have the happiness as a whole from both halves like Alya and Nino do, as well as Chloe and Nathanael.
Caught in her own thoughts of the hopeful future for her and Adrien, Marinette failed to sense the unpleasant presence of another body standing beside her.
The pheromones and energy growing heavy, it was enough to snap Marinette out of her reverie and twist her head over her shoulder to greet the other person standing beside her.
Standing beside her stood another young man, though based on the physical features, she was able to pick that this guest was older, if anything him at least two years older than Adrien. Though, she did not recognize this young man. Nothing about him offered a sense of recognition.
Marinette will acknowledge and agree that this young man was indeed attractive, pleasant features along his face. Light brown hair, styled with strands slightly spiked but with softness rather than hardness, probably held by a medium textured hair paste. Eyes coated with hazel, almost like honey itself was trapped within when striked by the right angle of light.
His physical body presenting muscular in every way. Nicely toned chest, small ab details seen from his smokey grey muscle shirt, arms built to perfect that common jock appearance. Overall, this young man screamed alpha.
Even with everything about this young man appeared attractive and perfect, nothing stood out more than the overall aura of this alpha that made Marinette feel uncomfortable and on defense.
Maybe it was due to her bond with Adrien and her complete devotion to him, but her instincts never strayed her the wrong way when an un-tameness sort of energy approaches and swerves around her.
Marinette watches as the man leans against the wall on his side, leaning in closely towards her.
“Hello, beautiful.” The stranger introduced, a slight hungry growl mixed within.
The simple greeting set alarms ranging within Marinette’s body. All sense of discomfort flowing around her as her instincts send brain signals to move away from this alpha. To leave this spot and search for the safety of her alpha.
As Marinette attempted to lean away from the wall and walk around the alpha, she was halted in her steps as the alpha stood in front of her and leaned into her space, his arms falling along her sides against the wall, trapping her in a small cage. Her omega senses increasing with the threat of this presence in front of her.
“Let me go.” Marinette demanded, a small snarl escaping as she glared into the young man’s eyes.
“Come now. Why the rush. Don’t you want an alpha to be claimed by.” The alpha lent further until he was face to face with Marinette. “I can give you all that your heart desires. I can even make it a wild ride and fun in the bedroom.”
The grin that he gave was nothing but predatory. Nothing came good from an alpha who bared an aura like the one he’s giving. And that grin all but sent shivers down her body, and the young man took that reaction in a completely different way.
As the alpha did seconds ago, he moved closer, until he pushed himself against her body. Her’s stuck between his and the wall, nowhere to move or go.
The last thing she expected was his head leaning against the space of her neck, the touch his nose running along the structure of her neck. Her body electrifying from the discomfort and assault. It was all wrong; everything about this man and his actions against her was assault and she wouldn’t stand by this.
Throwing all the strength she possessed as her current omega form, she shoved the alpha’s arms away and shoved the man’s face away from her neck. However, her actions were for naught, as the alpha grasped her wrist and slammed them against the wall, pinning her body between his and the wall.
He snarled at Marinette, anger and amusement seeping off the alpha. Looking up, she could see the alpha’s eyes bare gold, canines elongated as he bared his teeth at her. His grip tightened around her wrist. All she could do was snarl back, her own canines elongating, her eyes shifting to a light white-silver.
“My, my, we have ourselves a fighter.” He chuckled as he gave Marinette’s wrist a squeeze. Pain beginning to tingle along her skin. “I’ll make sure to break you from that. Can’t have that running through your mind and body. I need you as the submissive type.”
He moved her arms above her head, freeing one of his hands. Taking the free hand, he ran his fingers along the bare skin of her legs. The unwanted touch sending wrongness throughout her body. He wasn’t meant to touch her. She wasn’t his to touch, he wasn’t meant anything when it came to her body. The only person who had the right and privilege to touch her body was her alpha. Her Adrien. And she’d be damn that anyone else touch her.
“Get your hands off me!” Marinette snarled out. Her shouts falling short from the overbearing music overhead. She knew her strength wasn’t an equal match against him. She wasn’t in her maturity stage yet, but damn it she wished above anything that she hit her maturity age. That way it would have been an even playing field. But until then, she was vulnerable to him.
“I’ll release you once I claim you.”
“I’ve already been claimed asshole.”
The alpha jackass had the audacity to laugh in her face.
“Even if you were, my dear. The markless skin of your neck says otherwise. And as long as an omega has a bareless, markless neck, she’s all fair game. And you’re too gorgeous to escape.”
Her eyes widened when the facts displayed in her head. He was one of those alphas. He was one of those that felt privileged; felt that he could enforce any being below an alpha rank. This asshole where amongst the few who believed an omega is free for all as long as they bared markless on the neck, be damned if they had a destined or current relationship. If they desired an omega they had their sights on, and they were unclaimed, they were up for bid in their eyes.
To them, omegas where nothing but to cater to the alpha needs. Anything from catering their food, cleaning, and any sexual cravings and activities that the alpha desired. In their eyes, an omega was nothing but to please and cater to their every whim.
Unfortunately, some unlucky souls of an omega or even a beta who captures the radar of one of these alphas, are broken until they become the submissive partner.
She was not going to end up like those broken souls, not while she has a chance or say about it.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make it quick.” His grin displayed his canines as she shut her eyes, praying for any miracle as she felt him lean closer.
But as soon as she felt him lean towards her, the weight and grip on her wrist vanished. A breeze brushing against her, a loud bang echoed throughout the entire dance room causing her eyes to snap open.
And standing in front of her was the miracle she dearly hoped for.
******
Entering the other side of the of the foyer, Adrien walked towards the refreshment table and grabbed two plastic cups. Waiting patiently, he filled the two cups with ice from the ice bowl and filled the cups with fruit juice mix.
Weaving around the other party goers, dodging some of the large groups and fellow Agreste employees, Adrien crossed the foyer and re-entered the dance floor, glancing over to the far side of the wall for Marinette, only to come face to face with an unpleasant site.
Standing before him, across the wall, Adrien watched as young man, an alpha based off his pose structure, pressed himself against his omega, his princess . And worse, he saw the disgrace of a man and alpha as he touched her without her consent. He dared touch her against her will.
Seeing the alpha raise his lady’s arms above her head, taking his free hand and running along her bare legs set Adrien off. If there was one thing to piss him off more, it was another alpha, an unwanted one, touching his omega. Anger and rage began running though his body, his green eyes switching to a fiery gold as he glared at the alpha.
When the alpha grinned at Marinette and bared his teeth, leaning towards her to mark her, everything inside Adrien snapped. Instincts taking over as his canines elongated, dropping the drinks, and running to his omega’s aid.
Running at top speed, Adrien reached the two in a few strides. Gripping at the alpha’s shirt, Adrien honed all his alpha strength and flung him off Marinette, throwing the alpha across a few feet into one of the sound systems. The dance room falling into complete silence as all the guests halt in their movement and snap their attention towards the ruckus taking place near the entrance of the room.
For some of the party goers, manly friends of the two in the midst of the ruckus, all eyes were on the three. Alya, Nino, Chloe and Nathanael being one of the top few who were stunned and startled at what was taking place before them. Though out of the four, Chloe and Nathanael were able to figure out what was occuring based on the aura and mood taking hold amongst Adrien, Marinette, and the other alpha.
With all eyes on Adrien and the other alpha, none of the surroundings Adrien paid attention too. His focus was purely on the alpha in front of him. An alpha he had the displeasure of working with at his parents company.
Markus Blanceux. A fellow model at Agreste company. A fellow model and alpha with a disrespectful behavior and attitude amongst his fellow peers.
“Agreste.” Markus snarled, “She’s mine.”
A growl escapes through Adrien’s clenched teeth as he launched himself at Markus, slamming him against the marble flooring as both alphas began brawling against one another.
Both males snarling, each letting out a loud roar of rage. Tumbling and throwing each other across the space of the room that was given to them from the other guests. None wanting to speak up, fearing to intervene whatsoever.
The audience gathered stood speechless and in awe as they watch two alphas battle against each other. Amazed by the strength from Adrien as he landed fist after fist into Markus’s jaw and nose. A loud snap and a pained growl coming from Markus, his nose broken from one of Adrien’s punches.
However, Adrien hadn’t escaped any injury either. Markus managed to land a few punches at Adrien’s face, landing the Agreste’s jaw, nose, and eye. Resulting the Areste model with a busted lip and bloody nose.
Falling on his back, Adrien blocks another punch from Markus when he uses his feet to kick the alpha back, launching him against the marble flooring.
Before Markus could attack again, strong, bulk arms encased the young man as he turns to find the Agreste’s bodyguard holding him back. A glare engraving into the model. From behind, Gabriel, Emilie, along with Tom and Sabine come from behind. Hearing the noise and chaos coming from the room, the parents rushed in with the bodyguard rushing into duty.
Approaching the teens, Gabriel looks upon the situation and shoots a glare at Markus. Very familiar with the model from his and his wife’s company.
“Remove this man from my home. Keep him outside as I would like a word with him.” Gabriel demanded, his alpha voice seething through as he watched, with pride and pleasure, that Markus wilted at his employer's glare.
Turning back at Adrien, he saw the blood from his busted lip and nose. “Are you alright, Adrien?”
“I’ll be fine..for now anyways.” Came Adrien’s reply.
Lips thinning, Gabriel turned to Marinette, her body still stunned from the event. A inkling of a feeling of what occurred based on the scene.
“Marinette, will take Adrien up to his room and treat his wounds, please.” Gabriel asked.
Without any hesitation, Marinette removed herself from the wall and rushed to Adrien’s side. Helping him up to his feet as she walked beside him and headed up the main stairway towards his bedroom. Leaving the guests in silence from what occured, they’re friends worried about Adrien and Marinette.
Once the two were out of sight, Gabriel and Emilie requested the music continue and the guest mingle until Adrien and Marinette were able to return.
******
Up in Adrien’s room, Marinette set him on his bed as she ran into his bathroom to retrieve his first aid kit. Knowing where exactly the box was, Marinette returned with the kit in hand.
Sitting beside Adrien, Marinette handed the blond a cloth to hold against his nose, while she removed a disinfectant wipe and began wiping away the blood around his cut lip.
Feeling the comforting silence, Adrien placed his left hand on Marinette’s knee, rubbing his thumb in circular motions along the joint. The touch from Adrien felt soothing and welcomed for Marinette. The contact from him felt safe and protected.
“Thank you, Adrien.” Adrien turned his head to look at his lady, her movements to cleaning his lip stopping as she returned his gaze. “Thank you for saving me.”
Adrien gave her a smile full of warmth, “I will always be there for you, Mari. I will never let anyone harm you as long as I live.” He reaches for her left hand and brings it forwards towards his lips, leaving a kiss against her knuckles.
Both chest warming from the contact, Marinette leans forwards, removing her hand from his grip and places it along his cheek; her body leaning in as she presses her lips against his, igniting their first kiss. Adrien lent into the touch. Wrapping an arm around Marinette as he embraced her against his body.
Breaking the kiss, they rest their foreheads against each other, both gazing lovely into each other’s eyes.
“Happy birthday, Adrien. I love you.” She said as her lips brushed against his.
“I love you too, my lady.” Adrien returns before capturing her lips for a second kiss.
Summary: For Adrien and Marinette, they thought life was fine as an alpha and omega. But when both turn eighteen, the two have reached maturity age of their presentation. Who would have guessed that enduring your maturity stage would cause so much instinctual cravings? It shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with…right?
It started like any typical day in the Agreste Mansion.
For Adrien, it was like any routine day.
Get up at the sound of the alarm, shed his nightly clothes (if he had any), jump in the shower, dress for the day, go downstairs to have a family breakfast with his parents, and then finally head to school where he’ll spend majority of his day until coming home. Unless he had his job or after school activities to attend.
Simple and easy to memorize for his day to day schedule, other than his scheduled photoshoots arranged by his mother and father. Not that he doesn’t mind participating in the photoshoots for his parent’s company. He enjoys his part time job as one of his parent’s models. It’s small moments that he gets to see his mother and father in their field of passion.
Even though Adrien has enjoyed his youth as a model, thankfully nothing too demanding with his father and mother always around at the photoshoots; he has come to an age where things are preparing to change. Being in his final year of Terminale and only a few more months left until graduation, Adrien is prepared to begin his own path of his desired career. Though he decided that he’ll model for his parents one more year to save some extra cash.
As the sun slowly rises for early morning, the high buzzing noise of Adrien’s alarm on his iPhone sets off waking the young man from his deepened sleep.
Adrien flips over in bed to shut off the annoying contraption that is his phone and dreading another day. Though he can’t complain. Other than another day learning, the bright side of going to school is the ability of seeing his closest friends.
Nino, a beta who is like a brother to him, Alya who is like a sister, a very scary sister for a beta, and Marinette. His favorite person to be around. And how lucky could he be that she was also a ranked omega. Whenever there was a fight or harsh disagreement in class, he was prepared to bring back order like most alphas are accustomed too, but with Marinette being the omega that she is, she was always strong and nurturing. Unlike the alpha’s brooding and harshness towards situations that can typically cause the issue to escalate, the omega nature in Marinette always manages to relax the issue before one could or tried to move.
A smile adorns his face as he envisions his raven-haired friend. Ever since convincing his parents to letting him go to public school (mainly convincing his father thanks to the help of his mother), Adrien had always thanked his lucky stars regularly for that opportunity because he got to meet Marinette. Ever since his first day in the rain with her, he felt attached to her. As an alpha, Adrien knows it’s not just because Marinette was an omega. There’s a connection there somewhere and he’s going to find out soon. It’s been four years and he’s going to finally make his move this year. He’ll be eighteen this week and Marinette will be eighteen next month. Then, and only then will he find out if they’re destined. Even if they’re not, he will make Mari his mate if she’ll allow him.
There’s no one else he’d be happier with, destined or not. All the times he’s wanted to ask her out, Adrien kept holding back until their eighteenth birthday. He could tell that Marinette knew and understood his thoughts on the matter by the way they interacted with each other. The thought that both could or couldn’t be destined was nerve wracking but they did their best to not let it affect them too much and get in the way. So, throughout their years of knowing each other, Adrien and Marinette kept it to simple gestures, knowing that each crave certain needs like cuddling and simple petting. Oh, the petting. He loves when Marinette runs her fingers through his hair and scratches behind the areas of his ears…
Adrien clears his throat; he shouldn’t let his thoughts on Marinette distract him from his daily routine. Although, if he’s being honest with himself, he’s confident that he wouldn’t mind spending an entire day thinking about Marinette. Her pheromones were always so…pleasant. Alluring? Especially through the years of them getting older.
The young man groans. ‘Must not get distracted. Must not get distracted.’
Pushing himself off his bed, Adrien sits up and shoves the bed sheets off around his legs and mid-section and prepares to get ready for the day.
Shuffling across the cold floor of his bedroom, he looks over at his desk to see his lazy, black maine coon cat, stretched out on his side. Fur spread across the flat of his desk’s surface as the early sun falls on the cat to show off his sleek black fur as if it were a gleaming gem.
The cat rolls his head, rotating his body until he laid on his back, stretching to reveal a green collar with a small gold bell. Opening one green eye, the cat sees Adrien standing in front of him with his mouth slightly gaped open. He opens his other eye drowsily and offers Adrien a lazy ‘meow’.
From his position, Adrien looks at his cat with disbelief as he sees cheese wrappers underneath his body and three by the cat’s head.
“Plagg! How the hell do you find the cheese?” Adrien growls as he continues to stare at his lazy pet. His eyes changing to a yellow-green.
“Meow”, comes another drowsy response from the cat.
“You know what cheese does to you!”
Plagg’s features shift as his mouth moves to a smirk as he stares back into Adrien’s eyes.
Adrien’s right brow twitched from the response. How on earth did he end up with a cat like Plagg. He’ll never know. As well as why this cat of his has a craving for cheese, disgusting smelling ones at that. Adrien will swear that this cat is possessed, specifically when the cat gives him human like expressions.
“You’re lucky Mari and mama love you.”
Giving Plagg another look, Adrien turns and walks into his bathroom. He swore he heard Plagg give a scoff huff and rolls over as Adrien shut the bathroom door behind him. Heading over to the shower, Adrien rotates the knobs as the warm water pour from the shower head.
Shedding his clothes off, Adrien notices a difference in his body. Nothing uncomfortable, just slightly different from normal. But a good different. Stretching his body, a sudden unfamiliar surge of energy pulses through his entire body when entering in the shower area. He places a hand against the small tiled wall of the shower as he lets the sensation flow through him. Never once since being ranked as an alpha had Adrien experienced such a surge and spark of energy. He would describe it like a tingling feeling but stronger. And boy, was it strong.
Adrien couldn’t debate whether it was from the cause of the unexpected surge, but the spark of energy produced an instinctual urge to do something. The thought of standing still made him feel slightly antsy. What that instinctual something is, he’s not sure yet, but hopefully it’ll make an appearance and help ease that antsy feeling creeping through him.
Pushing the sudden feeling aside, Adrien steps under the shower head and lets the water flow down along his body. The warmth of the water loosening the tiredness and ache from his muscles and bones. Releasing the tension from the previous night’s photoshoot of constant poses and stiffness.
The water droplets falling along the curves of his body as if they were soft touches of soothing finger tips against his skin. A small moan vibrates from Adrien’s lips as he imagines Marinette’s delicate and soft fingers replacing the water droplets. Sending warmth across his aching skin thinking about the young omega love of his. Oh, how he would ravish her with all the love she’d deserve. Bring Marinette back to his room and spend days huddled under the covers where they could cuddle, pet, kiss, and bite –
Adrien releases a groan as the heat in his body moved south, dropping his head against the coolness of the shower’s tiled wall. Imagining the love of his life, and hopefully soon to be mate, is really straining on him, mainly below the waist. Another groan escapes through his lips. He really shouldn’t be thinking about his adorable classmate like this.
Stupid maturity alpha hormones.
Today is going to be a long first day as a mature alpha.
******
Descending the stairway from his bedroom, Adrien turns left once reaching the bottom towards the family dining room. Crossing the arch way into the room, Adrien looks over to see his parents sitting at the furthest side of the table near the back.
Walking over, he can see his father sitting at the end of the table, and his mother sitting on his right side. Moving towards the far side, Adrien takes the seat on Gabriel’s left side and across his mother. Food of varies breakfast items on plates and bowls set in the middle. The food appeared and smelled delicious. Fresh from the stove or oven as the stems of steam can be seen hovering above the food.
Reaching to gather food and make his meal, his parents greet him.
“Good morning, sweetheart.” Came the sweet voice of his omega mother, Emilie. Her appearance proper and dressed in her crème colored suit and skirt.
Adrien gave his mother a quick smile in greeting as he continued to gather food on his plate. “Morning, mama.”
“Morning, son.” The stiff voice of Adrien’s alpha father, greeted, dressed to match his wife in a similar crème colored suit. Even with the stiffness of his father’s voice, Adrien knew there was no harshness from it. It’s just that nature of his father to appear a little cold. But if he thinks about it, that might explain how his father got to where he was today. One thing he’s learned growing up, you don’t mess with an Agreste.
Turning over to his father, and for the second time this morning, offers his father a smile and greet. “Morning, pére.”
Complete with gathering food on his plate, Adrien sets the dish in front of him; oblivious of the look his parents are giving him from the amount of food their son gathered on the single plate.
It’s not uncommon for Adrien to eat a big meal. Emilie and Gabriel were always aware of their son’s food consumption, especially as a growing young man. Even as one of their head models, they kept him under a certain food intake to fit in the clothes for their family’s company, but seeing the larger amount than normal accumulated on his plate at the start is startling.
Even as a young alpha, they’ve seen Adrien’s appetite grow and accumulate during certain times of the year, though nothing behavioral wise occurred, thankfully. Just simple hunger growth.
Watching their son’s appetite and him eating like a starved animal, Emilie reaches her hand across towards Gabriel and pulls on the sleeve of his suit.
Feeling the tug of his suit sleeve, Gabriel leans to the side towards his wife, both parents gaze still on their only son. Once Gabriel became within ear shot, Emilie leans towards her husband and whispered lowly for only his ears.
“Dear, I think it’s time you gave our son the talk.” Her voice whispered in her husband’s ear.
Gabriel’s eyes bulged and snapped his attention to his wife, his face slightly paling from the thought of such topic to discuss. His wife in return looks at him and gave Gabriel the knowing look of starting the conversation. Her eyes darting back and forth to the direction of their son.
“I am not discussing the sex talk with Adrien.” Gabriel hissed in return.
Emilie closed her eyes and took a deep breath, exhaling the built-up air through her nose. She opens her eyes and flatly looks at her husband. “I meant the alpha talk, dear.” She grounded out through clenched teeth.
“Oh.” Her husband replied, relief returning to the older alpha’s features. Both taking a deep breath, Emilie releases her grip on the man and both return up right in their seat. Mrs. Agreste straightened her back as she rested her hands on the top of the table. Mr. Agreste straighten himself in his seat. Moving his tablet aside, he clasped his hands together and rested them on top of the dining table.
Gabriel raises his right hand against his lips and clears his throat. The motion halting Adrien in his movements and breakfast. The young man looks up to see his parents looking him with comforting smiles. Though, when he looks at his father’s smile, it looks pained and full of nervousness. If Adrien didn’t sense the importance of the looks that he’s receiving from his parents, he would most likely find his father’s strained features highly amusing. Hell, he’d probably most likely be laughing since it’s not every day he sees his own father with a sense of nervousness. He doesn’t even know that it was possible for his father to show nervousness. If anything, his parents are the power couple of the fashion industry. They are feared amongst their competitors and fashion world, but are nice people. Scratch that, they’re only nice to people that deserve and have earned it. Adrien internally chuckles as the thought of his parents. If you didn’t know his parents well, you’d think Gabriel is the frightening one, but if there was anything to know about the Agreste’s, it isn’t Gabriel you should fear, even if he can be scary. No, if any of the two, you should fear Emilie. As an omega, she can be frightening. She can even put Gabriel to shame in fear if you cross his mother wrong. ‘Huh, no wonder people barely threaten them.’
Placing his fork down on the table, Adrien sits up and glances at his awaiting parents. “Yes?”
Taking a deep breath, Gabriel meets his son’s eyes. “Before I begin this discussion and certain topic, I need to ask you a question first. I want you to tell me the truth.” Gabriel stopped as he watched Adrien closely. Waiting, Adrien gave his father a curt nod and waited for him to continue. Nodding his head, Gabriel continued. “Now that the time has come of the week of your eightieth birthday, I will begin by asking if you have encountered any emotional or physical differences recently.”
Adrien audibly gulped. The inkling of knowing where this entire discussion may direct towards causes him to slightly shutter. As parents, the young man understands that it’s their duty as a loving mother and father to share their wisdom of the birds and the bees. Of all times, why did it have to come now, when he was turning eighteen in a few days? Besides, Natalie so graciously educated him on such topic when he first started lycée! Albeit the awkwardness that ensued during that time of his life. Nothing against Natalie, none. He’s positive it was awkward for her as it was for him.
Knowing it best to get this embarrassing child to parent discussion over with now than later, Adrien begins counting the seconds.
Gulping, Adrien looks to his father and answers the question. Thinking about the new sensation in the shower and intimate feelings, he could say there was a difference. Though would feeling extremely sexual towards your crush consider a difference?
Shaking his head to clear his mind, Adrien says, “Yes. Kind of? It was…interesting. Uh, when I was heading into my shower, I felt this…electricity, I guess is the best way to describe it, and I could feel it pulse through my entire body. It wasn’t painful. Actually, it felt good.” He glances at his mother where she graces her son with a smile.
Giving a curt nod, Gabriel takes a deep breath and exhales through the nose. Of all things to consider, he no doubtingly never thought he’d end up explaining the alpha talk with his son. Not that it wasn’t uncomfortable, but the mere thought of just having to explain to his only son the urges he’s going to be experiencing now as a mature alpha was never on his priority list. The things he goes through as a father.
“Alright then.” Looking back to his son. “Promise me you’ll take the information I give you to heart.” Seeing his nod in agreement, Gabe takes the plunge and decides to rip ‘the talk’ off like a band-aid. “As you are aware, you’ll be turning eighteen this week. Which signifies the final stage of maturity; whether it be as an alpha or an omega.
“Now that you have reached maturity, you will now experience the full effect that we as alphas will endure. If you recall from your childhood, your body releases pheromones. Pheromones that allow society to distinguish what rank you fall under. Betas as you are aware don’t leak pheromones like alphas and omegas. Yet, we all have our special pheromone that ignites when we meet our ‘destined’ mate.” Now preparing for the important part. “When still a child, including your puberty years as a teen, you notice that your pheromones are naturally mild. But once your body has hit the maturity mark of eighteen you succumb to the full instinctual nature of the alpha. Again, keep in mind the same stages go along with omegas. They experience the same process.
“As for the instinctual urges, you will experience a good and healthy response of wanting sexual needs.” That sentence right there made an itch crawl along Adrien’s spine. The simple imagery of falling to the urge of sexual needs brings forth slight anxiousness. “In a few days or probably even now, and so on in the future, you will experience a change for three days. After your birthday, you will endure this need once a month. During these three days is when you will experience the full force of sexual desire which we call the rut. When those times arrive, you’ll crave of wanting to mate with your desired, well, mate. So, during those three days I encourage longer extracurricular activities that can offer release of that intimate want. And if I must, I have no issue with ordering nude magazines for you to help with the release-”
“Please don’t finish that sentence, pére.” Adrien quickly urged. “I’m understanding where you were going with that direction.”
“Good, good. Second, your eyes will remain golden during your rut cycle, as well as your teeth will elongate out of instinct. So, don’t worry with that. Other than the sexual urges, you will more than likely experience a stronger desire to protect and be possessive towards your destined mate. Whenever it is you come across paths with them.”
A smile adorns Adrien’s face. “What if I already have a feeling of who my destined is?”
Both Gabriel and Emilie glanced at Adrien full of curiosity, intrigued on who this mate may be.
“Is that so?” Emilie asked, an encouraging smile taking place. “Please, tell us about this special someone.”
With his nervous tick, Adrien places his right hand behind his head and rubs his palm along the back of his neck. “Marinette. Marinette Dupain-Cheng.” Adrien’s cheeks taking on a rosy hue as he shyly grins at his parents. “I’m hoping, well, both Mari and I are eagerly waiting next month to see if were destined.”
His mother’s smile softens at his claim. “What will you do if you and Marinette aren’t destined, sweetheart?”
With sincerity in his eyes and voice, Adrien says, “If Mari and I find out that we’re not destined, it won’t change how we feel. Mari and I still plan to make it work. We’re happy with each other by our side. No one has made me happier than her.” His cheeks taking on a stronger rose color. “But there’s this feeling that I truly believe we’re destined mates. And I can’t wait to find out.”
“Either way, I’m happy for you. I like Marinette. Even if she weren’t an omega, I couldn’t wish for a better mate.” His mother chuckled. “And I hope this will encourage you to bring her around more often. I always enjoy talking with her.”
“I promise I’ll bring Mari around more.” Adrien promised, holding his right hand over his heart.
“Maybe I can also add another opportunity.” Gabriel cut in. “Your mother and I have the next gala scheduled for next month. Perhaps you can invite Marinette along. I’m sure she’d appreciate the close encounter of her favorite passion. Wouldn’t you agree?” His father offered him a knowing smirk.
Adrien couldn’t have asked for better parents. Yes, they have a demanding profession, but they always support his dreams and desires. He’s always known they were fawned of Marinette. But to see them confirm their approval made his heart sore. Adrien was thrilled that Mari will be welcomed in his family. “I think that’s an excellent idea, pére. I’ll inform Marinette when I see her at school.”
“Speaking of school, you better get going. Can’t have you being late.” His mother informed.
Giving his mother a nod, Adrien says his goodbyes to his parents and runs up to his bedroom to retrieve his backpack.
Grabbing his homework for his classes and books; Adrien gives a quick scratch behind Plagg’s ear and exits his bedroom. Shouting another farewell to his parents and Natalie, Adrien exits the Agreste mansion and takes on the walk to school, pushing the morning discussion with his parents in the back of his mind for now.
He doesn’t need the information of his alpha maturity getting in the way of him focusing on other things around him. For now, and until the end of school, he’ll keep his attention span on his friends and his school’s education. Nothing wrong can happen from that.
******
Coming upon the grand stairway of the front school, Adrien looks along the stairs to see his right-hand man, Nino. In his natural state with earbuds in his ears most likely listening to music or even his own mixes. He must give credit to Nino. That beta sure has an ear to making good music.
Walking up the concrete steps, Nino looks up to the approaching young man and removes his earbuds to greet his best friend.
“Hey, it’s my favorite alpha. Morning, bro.” Nino greets raising his fist up for his and Adrien’s morning fist pump.
With a smile of his own, Adrien returns the morning fist pump with his own as he stands beside his beta friend. “Morning, Nino. Listening to your personal mixes?” Adrien asked.
Wrapping his headphones around his shoulders, Nino places his phone in his back pocket. “Nah, dude. Well, okay, yes. But these are special mixes for my one and only.”
One and only. Adrien chuckles as he knew exactly who Nino was referring. Anyone in their current grade knows the bond of one Nino Lahiffe and Alya Césaire. He remembers around the beginning of summer when Nino and Alya both turned eighteen. The special pheromone that every rank owns that stays dormant until coming in contact with your supposed destined. A special pheromone only available and smelt by your destined. Adrien recalls how Nino described how Alya smelt like fresh home breeze and summer. A comfort that easily satisfied and made Nino crave for his mate’s presence. It seems that Nino and Alya got lucky that they’re destined, even if they’ve been dating since they were sixteen.
The simple thought makes him wonder what his lovely omega would smell like. Adrien bets Marinette would smell like baked goods and home just like the bakery she lived in. Now that would be a smell that he could enjoy every waking moment to. Curled up under the sheets with his beloved Marinette, spooning her from behind. His nose relaxed into her long, flowing, raven hair that he loved so much. Her hair would be the area that held onto those sweet, sweet aromas of her bakery home. Oh, how he and Mari could –
“Dude!”
Adrien’s eyes shot open from Nino’s shout to gain his oblivious attention.
Blinking, Adrien looks at Nino. The dark skin young man looking at his best friend with a quizzical stare and one brow raised. First to note, when the heck did he even close his eyes in the first place. Until the previous thoughts came rushing back in his mind making the blond exhale in a huff.
Damn it! Stupid. Maturity. Alpha. Hormones!
“Sorry, bro.” Adrien apologized, rubbing his hand behind his head. “Guess I was lost in thought.”
Giving Adrien a skeptical glance, recognition soon takes place as a smirk slowly makes way onto Nino’s lips. Wiggling his eyebrows at the blond, Nino places a hand on Adrien’s shoulder.
“Are you finally going to make your move and ask Mari to be yours, bro?!” A smile full of excitement taking over. “Are you?”
Removing Nino’s hand from his shoulder, Adrien could only grin back.
“Alright, calm down, Nino. Yes, I plan on making my move to hopefully make Mari my mate, but you have to refrain from spoiling my chances without giving my plans away. I’m waiting til next month to ask Mari out. When she’s eighteen.”
“Are you both waiting to see if your both destined?”
Nino watches as Adrien’s features soften, offering a simple nod to confirm his friend’s question.
“Adrien, bud. You shouldn’t have to rely on some special pheromone to inform whether you and Mari are meant to be. You and Mari are better than that. I know for fact that you and Mari are meant to be. No special pheromone can change that. Anyone with eyes can see that you and Mari love each other. So why wait?”
Nino gives Adrien a supportive smile and a soft fist punch against the blond’s shoulder. “You worry too much, Adrien. Everything will turn out the way it should be.”
A chuckle leaves Adrien’s lips, feeling comfort to know he has a friend like Nino. As a beta, Nino can be quite full of wisdom. Even if his friend disses the claim. Adrien felt blessed to have a beta and a friend like him. Nino just knew what to say to help ease the running thoughts in his head.
“Thanks, man. I’m glad you’re my voice of reason. But the truth is Mari and I decided to wait til we were both eighteen. I know we could have easily started dating earlier, but we both wanted to wait and see. Either way, I plan on courting Mari if she’ll have me.”
“You won’t have anything to worry about. We all know Mari will say yes. Especially with all those…intimate pleasures.” Nino couldn’t help the little snicker that escaped his lips.
“They’re not that intimate! It’s just petting and cuddling!” Adrien argued.
“Ah huh. Yea, sure. I’m sure you both wish they were.” Nino teased.
Heat rose in Adrien’s face, his cheeks taking on a dark rose color. Of course, he would love for things to be intimate between him and Mari. It wasn’t rocket science.
Looking at Nino snickering, Adrien narrowed his eyes and punched his friend’s shoulder with force. Feeling the strength behind the hit, Nino hisses and rubs his shoulder to sooth the stinging pain.
“Fuck. I forgot about your alpha strength.”
Adrien grins with pride. “Moving on, I’m planning on inviting Mari to be my plus one for my parent’s gala next month. I thought it would make a good birthday present.”
“She’ll enjoy that. Hell, I’m sure no other present will beat that.”
It couldn’t hurt to start earlier at pleasing your hope to be mate.
“Since you feel so confident, then why don’t you tell her now.”
Nino points his thumb to the side, signaling Adrien to turn.
Turning his head to his left, Adrien’s eyes encounter his favorite beauty in the world, and he will swear to his dying breath that it will forever be his favorite.
Breath hitching like always, Adrien releases a contented sigh as he sees Marinette walking down the sidewalk. Dressed in a simple but fashionable black tank shirt, topped by a rose red jacket, and wearing jean shorts that reach mid-thigh; no doubt made by her. Yet, those wondrous, creamy, soft skinned thighs. Soft, soft skin that he could easily cuddle against at this very moment. The hope that her fingers could join in and comb through his hair as both could relax huddle together. Why couldn’t it already be next month!
Coming down the sidewalk, Marinette, accompanied with Alya by her side, make their way towards the school. Another day, but another day with Adrien. The thought of the young man sending joy through her body. She couldn’t wait for her birthday next month when her and Adrien plan to make it official. Of course, her and Adrien haven’t been technically dating, but with how close they’ve been through the years, some would easily considerate dating.
The moments where Adrien would come over to her place or her to his, spending their time hanging out, and aiding in their gestures of comfort. It might have been awkward at first when her and Adrien started helping each other with the hidden craving of each other’s presence and touch, but it didn’t take long for the two to fall in place. Like if it was meant to be for the two to be in sync.
Hopes of being officially bonded to Adrien always plagued her dreams. Two years ago, when she noticed their interactions became closer and revolved around more touch contact, Mari could see the struggle Adrien would have internally. It wasn’t difficult to see that Adrien wanted to be closer, to be more than what they had established since the beginning. She wanted the exact same thing that Adrien desired. A partner; one that would cherish and love you for life. There to support you and comfort you through your ups and downs. Yet, the simple negative thought of not being destined always proved stronger as it coursed through both their thoughts and planting the ‘what ifs’. But there was hope. There would always be a fifty-fifty chance. And no matter what, she was determined to prove Adrien that she would make a perfect mate whether they were destined or not. Neither her or Adrien would let the universe decide who their mate is or isn’t, let it control their happiness. If they wanted happiness, then damn it they’ll take their fate into their own hands.
“Girl, it looks like someone is checking you out.”
Snapping out of her own reverie of future dreams, Marinette glances over to Alya beside her to see her best friend with a knowing smirk.
‘Checking me out?’ Alya’s sentence floating around in her head.
Seeing Alya gesture to the front of them, Marinette turned her head to see the one gorgeous being a few feet in front of her. The young man of her desires and closest and best friend. Sorry, Alya. She’s an amazing friend don’t get her wrong, able to support whenever Mari needed, but there’s just some things that even a best friend can’t beat. And that one thing is standing a few feet away staring at her.
Adrien, watching as she sees his eyes gazing the surface of her body. Heat pooling in her face as Mari stops in place staring back at Adrien. Her cheeks taking a good majority intake of heat and her mind buzzing with the knowledge that her crush is standing there looking at her. It felt…amazing. Felt breathtaking and confident knowing that Adrien, the young man that she agreed with to promise and wait, was frozen in adoration and awe at the sight of her. Oh, how this helped with the confidence booster.
Closely watching his gaze, Adrien’s eyes fall to her legs, causing a breathy chuckle to escape through her mouth. Yep, total confidence builder the more Mari watches Adrien admire her form.
“Looks like golden boy really likes what he sees, girl. Maybe you guys will be together sooner than later.” Came Alya’s voice beside her.
“I already told you, Alya. Adrien and I are waiting til next month-”
“Yes, yes. To see if you and lover over there are destined. I know, you’ve mentioned it plenty of times over the past, what, four years now.” Alya interrupted. “Nino and I still don’t understand why you two are letting the special pheromone of your destined get in the way of your happiness. We know you and Adrien would be happy no matter what.”
Blowing a puff of air out, Mari explains, “I understand that Alya. Both Adrien and I do. We just wanted to know for sure. I know it wouldn’t change anything that we have between us if we weren’t destined, but there’s always that feeling of ‘what ifs’ if we weren’t, you know. And if he would truly want to be with me even though we aren’t meant to be. I understand it’s crazy to think this and all, but there’s moments where that worry seeps in. You got lucky that you and Nino were destined.”
“Mari, listen. No matter what happens, don’t let the fear of you and Adrien not being destined destroy your chance at happiness. You know very well that an alpha and omega can still be happy whether they do or not, meet their destined. If you and Adrien are happy, then that’s what you should focus on than the ‘what ifs’. You got it?” Alya offers her a warm filled smile and places a hand on her shoulder.
Everyday Marinette thanks the universe to giving her a friend like Alya. She truly is the voice of reason when Mari begins to have doubts. Having a strong, fire filled beta as a best friend helps a lot. Though Mari can handle herself quite well, strong even, no doubt about that. It’s just nice knowing you have someone by your side who will tackle the world by your side. For that, Mari was thankful to have Alya in her life.
“Thanks for that, Alya. You’re right. I shouldn’t focus on the ‘what ifs’. I’m going to start focusing on the bond that Adrien and I already have and grow from there. Since I’m feeling confident and the way Adrien is looking at me, I guess I should take advantage of it.” Marinette said, full confidence radiating from her words.
With a smirk, Alya gives an approving nod. “Now there’s my fearless and tough omega. Go show Adrien the omega you are. Make that boy melt.”
Picking up their steps again, both ladies walk their way towards the two males. Adrien’s eyes still on her figure as Marinette saunters towards him with a gleam in her eyes and heart stopping bright smile.
Clasping her hands together and standing tall in front of Adrien, Marinette looks straight in his eyes with a loving and soft smile. Wait? When did, her smiles look so deviant?
“Good morning, minou. Were you enjoying the view a few seconds ago?”
Who knew Adrien’s face could take on a shade of red so quickly.
And boy does Mari enjoy this feeling, seeing him flustered from her presence. Alya’s right. Forget about the ‘what ifs’. This is what happiness feels like when you’re with someone you love.
“I thought we agreed to keep those nicknames private.” Adrien grumbled. Those were special nicknames that were only used in a private space, during their time either in his or her room for their cuddle and pet time. Their ears only.
And there it was, the snickering that came from the only other two that were there at this very moment.
Looking over at Alya and Nino, it was clear as day on their faces that they were holding back their laughter. A pout forming on Adrien’s face as the two burst out laughing.
“Dude, are you sure you two aren’t dating yet? Cause that is undeniably the cutest thing I’ve heard.” Adrien couldn’t believe his friend. He felt betrayed.
Taking sympathy on her alpha best friend, Mari moves her right hand and begins running her fingers through the back of Adrien’s hair.
Like a snap of the fingers, Adrien forgets the embarrassment of the nickname and relaxes against the magic that is Marinette’s fingers. He can let the nicknames slide. It’s not that bad anyways the more he thought about it. If it meant having Marinette closer and having her fingers running to soothe him, he’ll take that any day of the week.
Until the bell of the school interrupts such blissfulness.
Heaving a sigh and pout from the loss of the petting, Marinette wraps her arms around his left and begins pulling Adrien towards the entrance of the school.
“Come on, Adrien. Let’s get to class.” Said Marinette.
“Fine.” Adrien grumbled.
Leading the way, Alya and Nino follow close behind as the two still snicker from the earlier moment. Who knew two individuals could be so adorable.
******
Hour passing hour, listening to lectures from the teachers, the half way mark slowly approaches as the lunch time is soon to grasp. Just one more class before being released to enjoy a break and eat with friends.
One class left.
Gym Class.
Soon it’ll be lunch time and Adrien can ask Mari to his parent’s fashion gala. Perfect.
With the class heading to the locker rooms to change into their gym clothes, when finished, gather in the small gymnasium waiting for the lesson to begin.
Changed and ready to go, Marinette and Alya stand by the side of one of the gym’s wall. Talking and waiting for the boys to exit the boy’s locker room.
While waiting, the two hear an approaching presence and look up to see Chloe dressed for gym and a smile on her face.
“Hey, Chloe.” Marinette greeted the blonde.
“Hey Marinette, Alya.” The blonde alpha greeted in return. “You two ready for this last year to end? Heaven knows I am.”
“You always wish the year would end, Chlo.” Said Alya. “We still have a few months left. I’m sure you’ll survive.” A smirk taking over.
Chloe grumbles. “I know, I know. I just want this year to be over so Nathanael and I can head to London for our first trip together. Alone.”
“Oh, girl. Are you planning on marking your man? A romantic getaway to make the moment special?” Alya’s journalist side kicking in wanting to know the details.
Beside her, Marinette chuckled. It wasn’t uncommon to hear Chloe discuss about wanting to travel around to popular locations with her boyfriend, Nathanael. Despise what people would say about Chloe, she was a caring alpha when it came towards her destined omega mate. Parisians may say the mayor’s daughter was rude and arrogant, but they never took a moment to get to know the young woman behind the mask of the mayor’s daughter. Chloe may act like that sometimes, but the only times she truly acted out was when she felt someone threatened her dear Nathanael. Her protectiveness for the red head omega was fawn to watch. There weren’t many people who could calm down Chloe when she goes through hard times, but whatever Nathanael does, Chloe appreciates it.
“Like I’m going to tell you, Alya.” Chloe smirks. “You’ll just have to wait and see what happens in a few months and summer after to learn what happened.”
“I’ll hold it to you.” Alya responded.
With Chloe walking off to find her boyfriend, Adrien and Nino take her place when the gym teacher, Monsieur Acel, finally approaches.
“Alright students, follow me.” Monsieur Acel announced, leading the students towards the outside track. Having the students take a seat on the bleachers, the teacher goes over the day’s activity. “Alright class, today I have to have you all take part on the second semester’s quarterly physical exam. In groups of three, you’ll head down to the starting line of the track and when I blow the whistle you’ll run the entire track twice to reach half a mile. When everyone finishes running the track, we’ll head in to do some weights.”
Calling off names for groups of three, each classmate takes their turn running the track.
During Mari’s turn, she had Alix and Chloe in her group. Thankfully making the half mile run exciting has the three-women group decided to have some fun making it competitive to see who can finish first. Judging by the sound of laughter throughout the run, the three were having an enjoyable time.
Reaching the end of the second lap, it was a close win for all three girls. Alix winning first place by a mere few inches; Chloe and Marinette coming in a tie for second place.
Giggling, all three women head back up to the bleachers as Monsieur Acel writes down their scores and times.
“Alright, next up is Adrien Agreste, Le-Chein Kim, and Nathanael Kurtzberg. Take your starting positions.” The gym teacher called out.
The three men walk down the bleachers, their friends shouting them luck, take their positions at the starting line and await the whistle.
Hearing the blow of the whistle, Adrien, Kim, and Nathanael take off into a full sprint. It was exciting to say the least. An alpha, beta, and omega all running in a simple physical exercise around the track. All equal in their abilities during the first round of the track, entering their second and final lap.
“Hey, Adrien, Nath. Bet you I can cross the finish line first.” Kim shouts in challenge.
Even as a beta, Kim is always up for challenges and bets. He’d make a good alpha if it weren’t for his hot headedness at times. But nevertheless, Kim was a good friend to go up against in simple challenges. And without warning, Adrien’s body was beginning to experience the familiar increase of energy sparking and coursing through his body. The urge to dominate the win taking hold of Adrien.
The competitiveness taking over as Adrien succumbs to the alpha in him, instincts taking over.
Senses increasing, Adrien’s eyes bleed from emerald green to a bright golden color. Like the sun gifted him with a drop of sunlight that now graced his once green iris. The true eye color of an alpha.
His canines elongating, Adrien feels the new added endurance as he releases a satisfied growl and launches into a full speedy sprint. Stunning his fellow runners and classmates. Watching their friend experience a full alpha form.
Rounding the last corner of the track, Adrien crosses the finish line with ease.
Coming to a halt, Adrien rests his hands over his knees and catches his breath. Hearing silence around him, Adrien turns around to see all his friends and classmates staring at him with wide eyes.
Why was everyone staring at him? And what were these smells he was breathing. They tasted and smelt wonderfully. Taking another whiff, he gathered the familiar scent. It wasn’t strong but it was stronger than he was accustomed too. The wonderful smell of his omega.
Breaking the silence, Adrien looks at everyone with questions flowing through his mind. Finally asking, “What’s going on? Why are all of you staring at me? Did I do something wrong?”
“Uh…am…going to go retrieve the nurse and be right back. Please stay put students and I’ll return as quickly as possible.” Monsieur Acel calls out to the students before rushing towards the school to grab the nurse.
Once the teacher leaves, an electrical surge similar from this morning pulses through Adrien’s body as he drops to his knees. His breath becoming heavy as he puts his entire weight on his knees and hands.
Seeing her friend’s state, Marinette’s omega instincts kick in and rushes her way down the bleachers and to Adrien’s side. Kneeling next to him, Marinette places a hand on his shoulder, feeling his now heated skin. “Oh, Adrien.” Her voice a soft whisper.
Marinette’s soothing voice reaches Adrien’s ears. Comfort quickly seeping over him. Looking up, Adrien’s golden eyes connect with Marinette’s bluebell. “Mari, what’s going on?”
She sits down and pulls Adrien down with her until he’s sitting beside her. Releasing her omega pheromones, Marinette coaxes Adrien to a calming state. Her pheromones seeping into Adrien’s nose as the alluring aroma relaxes the young man. The increasing urges brought down to a mild level.
The moment getting extremely better when Adrien felt Marinette’s fingers running through his golden locks. The massaging ministrations from her hands coaxing Adrien to lean his head and rest it against her shoulder.
Marinette wraps her other hand around his chest and pulling Adrien closer into a more comfortable position to allow the two to cuddle. She was thrilled to be aware of all alpha needs and glad it came through when she needed it most.
With his head resting against Marinette’s shoulder, Adrien adjusts his body to fit along Mari’s for better comfort. His nose making contact near the space of the pulse point of her neck. Her omega pheromones are heavenly and becoming so much more alluring.
A pleasurable soft growl exiting through Adrien’s lips as he instinctively nuzzles his jaw against her. His canines giving off a small glint behind his lips. The balance radiating between him and his omega. Very close. So close to that wondrous spot of her neck.
His eyes keeping gaze onto her pulse point, her smells still circulating between them.
Oh, how he has the strangest, yet satisfying urge of wanting to bite and mark that lovely neck.
His gold eyes giving off a stronger glow. Mine.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
Now, just to give some insight on my omegaverse, I altered mine to have a more supernatural feel to it with werewolf-ish tendencies/appearances. I thought it would be a little unique and different from some of the other omega au fics. Now you will most likely see many things different from mine to others. I am new to the omegaverse au and learned all I could from those who were more knowledgeable in the area and were gracious enough to explain everything that was needed to know. So I took some of my favorite things about the omegaverse and added some things of my own.
So for alphas, they bare the sense and urge to protect, comfort, and provide. Their canines will elongate when triggered in alpha mode/mood (attacking/fighting, rut, intimate interactions, or forcing orders amongst others in situations (use of alpha voice comes in)). Also, when in alpha mode the individuals’ eyes will change to the colors of gold or yellow-red. That is one of the most common appearances for others knowing of an alpha. Omegas, they bare the sense and urge to comfort, nurture, and balance. Though it is common that omegas are viewed vulnerable, a claimed omega by their destined mate, can be frightening, protective, and easily aggravated. Once an omega is marked, it isn’t uncommon for other alphas to get close, especially during heat cycles, but during that time and if the omega is claimed, it is acceptable for an omega to stand against other opposing alphas.
From other omega au fics I’ve read, some make it seem omegas are vulnerable. So I wanted to show that an omega is just as strong and powerful like an alpha and not just some vulnerable being. Like the alphas, omegas canines will elongate when triggered in omega mode/mood (attacking/fighting, heat, intimate interactions, and nurturing (typically if it involves their children)). Also, when in omega mode the individuals’ eyes will change to the colors of whitish blue or silver. That is one of the most common appearance for others knowing of an omega.
For the ‘destined’ scenario, everyone has a destined mate that would give them overall happiness. But that doesn’t mean that they couldn’t be happy if they weren’t with their destined. Alphas and Omegas typically will search for each other as they can bring a stronger balance than each mating with a beta. But again, doesn’t mean they couldn’t be happy. The reason why alphas and omegas search for each other is that it provides a higher chance of having children. It can be alpha/beta or omega/beta, but the chances of having children are lower.
And finally, for all presentations, they all bare a special pheromone. The pheromone will remain dormant until they encounter their destined mate. The pheromone will activate by the touch of their destined mate once they reach their maturity age of 18. This can also occur within the week of the person’s 18th birthday. The special pheromone is only able to be smelt by their destined. No other person would be able to smell it.
Okay, I think that’s good for now. If you have any further questions, come bug me here.
Yep. I’m giving you another chapter sneak peek. Just cause I love all of you who have been awesome following this story and giving great motivation and comments. So here is the well deserved sneak peek of chapter 7. As for the full chapter I’m gonna try and push through the rest of this entire weekend and hope to finish the chapter. Be prepared for lots happening.
*The F word is mentioned a good few times so if you have an issue with the word then don’t read. Also a small hint of nudity but really only a shirt is removed. Don’t know how sensitive people are*
Oh god he was not prepared for this. He was not prepared for the insane situation that his parents, and by association, his future in-laws threw him in. What in the almighty hell were their parents thinking?
Just because he went through his first rut doesn’t make him qualified to handle a first time omega heat. ‘What the hell do you do during your omega’s heat anyway?’
Watching his parents walk away from the heat room door, he pouted as they turned to him and waved him goodbye with smiles on their faces. The nerve of them to even smile and wave like it was completely okay with the situation they put him in. Oh, yea, they definitely weren’t going to get good Christmas gifts this year. They can kiss those gifts goodbye.
“Oh Alpha.” Came the chime of heaven behind him.
And a ring of beauty it was, but for the sake of knowing what’s to come, all that rushed through his mind was, ‘fuck him and a monkey’s uncle’. Right? That was the saying that he’s heard in English movies? Oh fuck, whatever. He’s screwed, that’s all he knows.
“Alpha,” the demand in her tone caused Adrien to straighten his spine, his body partially stiff and in position as if preparing for a scolding like a child. “Turn around.”
And like an obedient mate he is, he spun around and looked straight at his omega. Yet, the moment he turned around and made eye contact with Marinette, he scolded himself for doing so, because may the almighty universe give him strength for the radiant and gorgeous being laying before him.
Why didn’t anyone warn him that an omega in heat, especially one that is your mate, could be so distracting and mesmerizing. She had a wonderful glow coming off her that just made her look angelic.
Yep, his situation just got harder. Literally too.
“Yes, princess? Do you need anything?”
Marinette pushes herself up from the small piled den and rests her weight on her left arm. Her head leaning to the side as she continues to gaze at him, her eyes half lidded with a smirk playing on her lips. Those silver eyes of her omega form almost hypnotic with the glint of hunger and lust. The hint of her tongue poking out and running along her upper lip.
Pushing herself further and sitting up, Marinette takes the moment to officially glance around the heat room. Taking in the size of the space, she takes note of the full kitchen in the back right corner, a large window space leading to a view of the Parisian city landscape, and where no one can see into the room. Turning her gaze to the left, she can see a door leading to what appeared to be the bathroom. And of her eyes aren’t betraying her, the bathroom looks enormous. She chuckles, only her alpha would have such a large space of a bathroom. Then turning behind her, she finds a king sized bed all prepped and set for usage. Hopefully her and Adrien can break it in and mess it up a bit.
“My lady? You okay? You spaced out on me?”
Marinette looks back to her boyfriend and offers him a smile.
“It feels warm in here.”
‘Warm?’ Though Adrien, ‘Was the heater on? I could have sworn the cool air was set. Maybe I should check the thermostat.’
Before he could even take a step forward and check the thermostat, he froze dead in his tracks as he experienced something he never thought he would until both were in a romantic atmosphere.
Occurring right in front of him, Adrien stood in a daze as he watched Marinette grab the edges of her shirt and lift it up above her shoulders. Should he have looked away? Maybe. Should he feel shame for ogling at his girlfriend undressing? Probably. Is he regretting for not doing any of the previous thoughts running through his brain? No fucking chance.
Watching Marinette strip away her shirt, Adrien took the chance to admire his girlfriend’s upper body. How could he not? His omega was outstandingly gorgeous! And he was only seeing her upper body! The alpha in him was jumping around like it was the fucking Nice Carnival festival. His inner beast chipping and growling in complete satisfaction.
But it didn’t stop there. Oh dear god, he was not ready for this but the alpha in him kept saying bring it on. Let the complete admiration of your omega take flight damn it.
Part of him knew he should be stopping this, but the other part of him told him there was something deeper meaning about her removing her clothing. So instead of freaking out, he was going to be calm and the strong alpha he knew he could be.
