Hi teecup! I hope you're doing well! :3
I am sick and that means I have an idea.
A/b/o RobDes (Robert x Desmond) (yes the Robert that you're thinking about kknpkjknnknl)
And as usual Desmond is the omega BECAUSE-
I have a weird fascination with Robert.. and his.. bald dented head (I know it's a scar but it looks like a dent to me)
You know what would make this even more interesting? If Desmond was the baby brother of Altaïr. (yeah Altaïr is an alpha :3) And Desmond's existence is kept a secret because he's an omega. And Altaïr can get very overprotective too so that doesn't help.
Robert kidnaps Desmond not knowing that it wasn't Altaïr. And shinanigins happen in the Templar base
And uhh yeah that's all I got. OH AND Maria is an alpha and she and Desmond are besties.
That's all!
Desmond may be an omega but he was (secretly) trained by his brother to be able to kick ass and run away quickly.
Honestly, it wasn’t even Robert’s plan to kidnap ‘Altaïr’. The Templars learn of the traitor’s favorite attack dog and the remnants of Basilisk’s faction (which Robert had taken care of after the man’s death to stabilize his rule) figured that presenting said attack dog to Robert would be their ticket to safety.
Then Robert realized that they gave him some random omega (they don’t know what Altaïr looks like) from Masyaf, they get killed.
Robert tries to be a gentleman since this is all a misunderstanding and he has no qualm with omegas in general but the omega tries to kill him so he had to lock up the omega.
That’s where Maria comes in.
Maria becomes Desmond’s guard because she has the self-control of a monk that had let go of all connection to the physical world.
Or, as Desmond calls it, the self-control of someone who actually cares about other people’s consent and boundaries.
Really, revolutionary stuff in this time.
Yes.
Because Desmond remembers dying in Dec 21, 2012.
Not only that…
Desmond was an alpha back then.
He has made peace with being an omega this time around. In all honesty, he preferred being an omega because (1) no one looks at him like he was a failure because no one expects anything of him from the start and (2) it was easy to keep an eye on Altaïr and help him have a better life this time around as his omega twin.
Sure, Altaïr was overprotective and keeps saying that all alphas are scum (“you’re an alpha too” “yes and I’m also a scum, never trust any alpha”)
And he had been planning to kill Robert but he’d take corrupting Maria to become a turncoat as a consolation prize instead.
Honestly, he has fucked up this timeline so badly that he doesn’t even know if Maria and Altaïr would end up together because Desmond accidentally matched Altaïr and Kadar (who was an omega).
Who knows? Maybe they can make it a threesome, Desmond is honestly just hoping Altaïr doesn’t get the wrong idea and assume Maria is a scum alpha going after his younger brother like every other alpha out there in his eyes.
Anyway…
His corruption was going well, he thinks, until Robert starts visiting.
And just… talking to him.
It’s even weirder when his visits turned into daily afternoon tea and Desmond is full on suspicious of what Robert is trying to pull.
Robert, on the other hand, honestly just wants to get to know Desmond because…
He believes they’re fated mates.
Desmond seemed to have no idea that they are though so he’s trying to woo him.
Desmond, on the other hand, mistakes it (sorta?) to mean that Robert fell in love with him and…
Well…
The power an omega wielded over an alpha was dependent on the alpha’s personality.
And Robert…
… was a pushover.
(He’s not. He’s absolutely not. Maria knows he’s not. Maria also believes Desmond is a sweet innocent omega who might faint if she tells him that the alpha courting him was only a kind gentleman to people he likes and the only person in that list is Desmond)
So… to test Robert, Desmond requested that he be returned home and for Robert to court him and do the whole ‘shebang’ in the presence of all of Masyaf.
Al Mualim can’t do shit because Robert comes in peace and everyone agrees that the sanctity of courting should be upheld.
Altaïr is totally against it and Al Mualim has to play more or less as referee between the two while trying to sabotage this so he would have an excuse to attack the Templars.
“What do you see in him?”
It was a good question. The kind of question Desmond expected from his twin brother.
He knew Al Mualim would start scheming and shit if he was to reply that Robert was a pushover for omegas.
So he just says…
“I like his bald head.”
Smashcut to Altaïr trying to shave off Malik’s hair because Malik is a much better choice than some Templar scum.
Malik does not want to have to do anything about this entire thing. He also considers Desmond as an omega brother like Kadar and does not want to mate with him so, really, the two of them are wrestling at this point.
