Adam hated leaving his comfort zone, attuned to their regular
space, but he saw the look on Nigel’s face and said yes even though he didn’t want to .
The house wasn’t too big or too small, but it was Nigel’s friend
Darko’s place and the minute Adam came inside he could smell cigarettes which
made it seem like home.
Days were spent by the beach; Adam liked to sit in the sand and
let the water hit his feet before getting into the water and Nigel liked to
hold him up as they kissed, sometimes lifting him up over his head as Adam
laughed.
Everything was perfect.
Then the neighbors came home and Nigel started the war.
Adam heard the loud shouting early a few days into their stay,
blinking open his eyes and mumbling, “I think there’s someone
outside.”
Nigel groaned, rolling into him fully and tightening his
arms.
“Fucking hell, darling, it’s too fucking early for…”
The sound came again, seemingly right outside their window, and
Nigel shot up. “What the fuck?”
Adam sat up and watched Nigel stomp across the room to peer out
the window.
“Son of a fucking bitch,” he sighed, “They’re fucking
teenagers.”
Adam frowned, “Who’s fucking teenagers?”
Nigel turned to him with a smile. “I meant they are six
teenagers heading down the fucking beach and about to ruin our quiet
time.”
“I’ll kill them,” Will mumbled for what seemed to be the
fifth time in an hour.
Hannibal walked up to him from behind and pulled Will close,
pressing his lips to the nape of his neck as he whispered, “As much as I would
love to see that, Will…you yourself has specified the no killing rule.”
Will turned to him and glared, wrenching out of Hannibal’s
grasp.
“Well I’m un-specifying it!” he pointed down under the
table, “DO YOU SEE WHAT THIS SHIT IS DOING TO HER?”
Hannibal frowned, noting Encephalitis had burrowed even
further since the start of Will’s tirade, panting and looking torn between
running or hiding.
“Dogs get upset, Will, you yourself….”
Will shook his head, “Of course you don’t care! It’s a dog,
it’s not like….”
“You do not think I care about Encephalitis?”
Will turned away from him and mumbled, “You feed her, and
you walk her…”
“And I cook her gourmet dog treats, brush her quite often
and have more than once debated calling the authorities on that awful mongrel
next door who frightens her so. I care about the dog, Will. She may be here
because you wished for it, but I would not want her to be gone.”
Adam leaned into Nigel’s side, breathed in his scent and stared up as the next firework lit the sky.
He heard nothing, the noise canceling earphones on his head made easy for him to watch the lovely bursts of light in the sky without the sound that upset him.
He felt Nigel’s hand curl around his back and purred. The content feeling overwhelmed him, the alpha’s scent a comfort more than anything in his life.
Most omegas had to be mated for moments like this, for alpha closeness like he and Nigel had. But he got lucky several months before when Nigel climbed into the wrong window and they started a deep friendship.
He leaned his head back and scented Nigel’s shirt, a deep rumble vibrated through as he watched.
Nigel took his hand and traced an O followed by a K then a question mark.
Adam nodded, smiled at him and Nigel smiled back.
A warm touch to his cheek Adam leaned into and he leaned forward for more.
Nigel mouthed something and Adam frowned, he didn’t know what Nigel said but feared to take off the headphones.
The alpha put a hand on his other cheek and looked upset, which Adam didn’t like at all. He liked being close to Nigel, loved it even, and–
Adam blinked.
Oh.
He pounced and knocked Nigel down, the hard top of the roof possibly uncomfortable but Adam found he didn’t care. The first touch of lips made him melt into Nigel, and wiggle against him when Nigel rolled them again.
Adam licked his lips when Nigel smiled down at him, traced his mouth with one finger and across his cheek.
He traced O and K again, followed by the question mark as Adam saw another firework go off above them. Adam pulled him in for another kiss that he was certain answered for him, and when Nigel wiggled them closer together Adam saw fireworks.

Will: Hannibal got wine drunk last night and tried to set our marriage certificate on fire, saying “Good luck trying to return me without the receipt.”
