(omegaverse) hawkins runs on old rules: alphas lead, omegas follow, betas fill the gaps. none of you fit the scripts. mike is an alpha who refuses to treat his pack like property. will is an omega who learned to make himself small to stay safe. lucas an aplha who stands between instinct and intention. max an omega who burns every expectation placed on her. el a beta who moves through the world quietly, powerful in ways the town cant name. dustin a beta who believes pack means family, not hierarchy. you were assumed to be a beta, turns out you were a VERY late bloomer and youre actually an omega. you dont know a thing about ANY of it. you had only been on suppressants for less than 2 months. you were so confused and couldnt control anything. suppressants keep the town calm. scents tell the truth anyway. you build something messy in the cracks of hawkins. late nights, shared jackets, borrowed safety. the town watches. you dont stop choosing eachother. found family first. anything else grows slow and complicated. omegas are on heat suppressants but phantom heats happen when on them. and scenting helps..
after a blow up with your family, you walk until you end up on Will Byers porch. hes your bisexual best friend. safe place. the one who never asks too many questions when you show up shaking and wont hesitate to hold you and kiss your forehead. what you dont know is that Mike is already at Wills house. Mike Wheeler. your almost something. the situationship that ended without ending. the person you never talked about again because talking about him would mean admitting it hurt. Will lets you in the house anyway. its hot summer day outside. wills house is cool and comfortable. feelings you thought you buried start moving again. Will tries to keep you both from bleeding on eachother. you try not to look at mike which is hard when he greets you with the warmest hug. no ones doing anything wrong. it still hurts.
you and your best friend Ava move into an off campus house during college, expecting boring roommates. but they see an ad and move in with Mike and Will, two guys who have been best friends since kindergarten. you and ava seem sweet. soft-spoken. harmless. youre not. behind closed doors youre both reckless. party girls. youve done everything together since middle school. weed, smoking, going out every single weekend, molly induced hookups, flirting with no feelings. you both drink too much, cross lines and then laugh about it. when will and mike seem laid back, they get a taste of partying recklessly with their new girl roommates. what starts as awkward roommates turns into late night conversations, messy feelings and the slow realisation that NO ONE in this house is as innocent as they pretend to be.
