Summary: Nick´s an alpha and a troublemaker so his parents send him to a boarding school for boys. They have no idea that Nick´s gay and that this school is some kind of heaven for him. He´s planning on getting into as many pants as possible. The beautiful omega he lays eyes on first unfortunately is in a relationship and isn´t interested in cheating on his boyfriend. But Nick soon realizes that he can´t move on and when he finds out that the omegas boyfriend isn´t as faithful as he thought he is, he sees his chance to get what he wants.

They have more dates, thankfully without any more incidents, and Nick´s not sure if he ever had as many dates with anyone else without at least getting a blow job. All he´s done with Joe is kissing and frantic fumbling in the dark corners of the school grounds when they came back from their dates. It should be frustrating, that Nick has to head straight for his bathroom to jerk off, coming after just a few strokes, after every date.
But it´s not. Nick knows that Joe´s nothing like the omegas he knows from his old schools. He doesn´t think bad of them. It´s in their instincts to submit to an alpha but he knows that some of them probably just wanted to indulge in the attentions they got, not even aware of the way it makes them look. Nick doesn´t know why he never noticed it before. Maybe because he never met someone like Joe, someone who respects his own body too much to spread his legs for some alpha just to have a few minutes of his time.
Nick shudders at the thought. He knows that when the time comes and he´ll have Joe like this he´ll worship and love him as if his life would depend on it. He doesn´t even feel stupid when he thinks about things like that, even though he´s still wondering what it is that makes this omega in particular so special.
The summer break came along too fast for Nicks liking. It´s been a week since Nick saw his omega and kissed him goodbye but he´s already dying to have him close again, to talk to him, kiss him and just see his smile.
Joe called him just yesterday with big news. He´s told his parents about the break up with Rick and that he met someone new. Nick was more than surprised to hear that Joe confessed that he´s already dating someone else but he couldn´t be happier.
Especially because right now he´s on his way to meet Joe and his parents. Joe did already hint at the disapproval of his parents but Nick´s sure they won´t expect someone like him.
He still remembers Joes words. They thought with all the money his family has I would be taken care of, could do and have what I wanted.
He never mentioned to Joe that his family has enough money to last for three lives. Joe never asked and Nick didn´t think it would be necessary.
Still, he chose to take the dark green Bentley today. It´s elegant and everyone who looks at it knows it´s an expensive car but it´s not overly snotty. He doesn´t want Joes parents to like him just because his family has money but it can´t hurt to let them know that he isn´t flat broke.
He drives up the driveway and parks in front of the huge estate. It´s a beautiful house, southern style with huge pillars and almost completely white. The gardens that surround the house are well kept and every bush and tree is neatly trimmed in form.
He gets out of the car when the front door opens and Joe comes out to wait for him on the porch. He´s wearing tight black jeans and a plain grey shirt and his hair looks a little disheveled as if he kept running his hands through it nervously. Nick has to keep himself from drooling all over the place. The omega´s smiling but Nick sees by the way he´s wringing his hands slightly that he´s still really nervous.
The alpha jumps up the stairs enthusiastically to show him that he isn´t afraid of what´s to come.
“Hey.” Nick says smiling, cups his cheek and leans down to kiss his beautiful omega, gathering all his strength to keep it sweet and light.
He leans back and looks at Joe still smiling, just studying his face and relearning the feeling of his soft skin beneath his fingertips. ”You okay?” he asks.
Joe nods and smiles and Nick can feel him relaxing, realizing how much the omega needed the reassurance of his alpha that everything will be fine.
Joe leans a little to the left to look past him at the Bentley. “Nice car.” he says, frowning slightly.
Nick just grins and grabs his hand, leading him to the still open front door, waiting ´till the omega goes into the house first before following him.
On the inside the house wasn´t less impressive. The spacious hallway leads directly into the even huger living room and Nick is surprised to notice that, despite the tasteful furniture and decorations, it seems warm and welcoming. It´s a mixture of modern and antique furniture but every piece accentuates and complements the whole distinct style. There are a few family pictures and by the way Joes parents are looking proudly at the omega on some of them, Nick can see that they really love him.
Joe leads him out into a beautiful backyard where Nick can see his parents already waiting for them. They´re sitting at a table completely set in white underneath a huge equally white parasol, each of them with a cup of tea in front of them and a plate with pastries in the middle of the table. It´s the perfect picture of a beautiful summer day.
Joe is squeezing his hand slightly when they head for the table and his parents stop their quiet conversation to look at the boys. Nick squeezes right back and straightens up, ready to impress his future in laws. Did he really just think that?
He´s never met someone´s parents before so he´s got no experience he could revert to but he´s determined to persuade them that he´s the best alpha for their precious omega son.
Joes dad, the alpha of the family and without a doubt a very protective one judging by the way he´s glaring at their entwined fingers, gets up to greet them when they arrive at the table.
He reaches out his hand for Nick to shake it. “You must be Nick. It´s nice to finally meet you. I´m Paul.” he says, his hand squeezing Nicks just a little too hard.
Nick doesn´t even wince. “It´s my pleasure, sir.” he says politely.
“This is my wife Denise.” Paul says and motions to the pretty brunette next to him.
Nick can see instantly that she´s an omega too and knows that she´s the reason for the warm and inviting look of their home. While an alpha could probably live in a cave, as long as he´s got food, an omega would always want a home. Something to feel save and at ease.
For a moment she looks at him before extending her hand to shake and Nick knows he´s being measured.
“It´s really nice to meet you.” he says. “May I tell you that you have a really lovely home.” he says and watches a tiny pleased smile appear on her lips.
“Thank you very much. Would you like some tea?” she asks and motions for them to take a seat.
Nick can hear Joe sighing in relief next to him and turns to him, a reassuring smile on his face, before they sit down. Sure, he´s never had the whole meet-the-parents situation but he knows he´s charming and his mother raised him to be a good texan boy after all.
The next hour is the typical interrogation of parents who want to make sure the boyfriend of their son isn´t a psychopath. How did you two meet? Where do you live? Do you have siblings? How´s school going? What do you want to do after education?
Nick masters every question and he can sees Joes proud smile from the corner of his eye. They´re sitting next to each other, their fingers still tangled underneath the table while Joes parents are sitting across from them, watching every move Nick makes with eagle eyes.
“I´ll quickly prepare another pot of tea. Joe would you help me please?” Denise says and gets up, looking at her son expectantly.
Joe blinks up at her for a few seconds before he scrambles to his feet. “Of course.” He throws Nick a worried look but the alpha just smiles reassuringly at him. Nick knows what´s coming next.
“You probably understand that we were not happy to hear about the break up with Rick.” Paul says as soon as Joe and Denise disappeared in the house. “And when Joe told us that he already met someone new, we put one and one together. Our son was perfectly happy with Rick and we really don´t appreciate you pushing yourself between them.” he continues and watches Nick with cold eyes.
“With all due respect, sir, Joe wasn´t happy. He wasn´t for a long time. I didn´t even have to push my way between them. I know you think that he would have been the perfect alpha for your son, that he would have been able to provide for him but he … he just didn´t see him for what he is.” Nick is a little frustrated because he isn´t sure if he´s finding the right words to tell Joes father what he wants to tell him.
“And what would that be?” Paul asks calmly.
“He isn´t this stupid little omega, just waiting for his big strong alpha to tell him what to do. Don´t get me wrong. He´s the sweetest, kindest and most beautiful omega I´ve ever met and I don´t even know why I´m so lucky to have him looking at me the way he does. But he´s not the helpless little damsel in distress, dependent on an alpha who can´t keep it in his pants.” Nick almost growls the last words and sees the way Pauls eyes darken at the indication.
“You mean he … ?” Paul starts in a low voice.
“Indeed.” Nick says darkly. “Rick is an idiot and he didn´t even see what he had right in front of his eyes.”
Paul stares at him for a few seconds but before he can say anything more Joe, carrying a tray with a teapot, and his mother come out of the house. Nick looks at him and he can feel the huge smile that appears on his face when he sees his omega looking back at him.
When he turns his head back to Paul the other alpha is still watching him but his eyes aren´t as cold as they were at the beginning of their little conversation.
Joe puts the tray down on the table. “Everything okay?” he asks quietly, looking at Nick intently and probably searching for any signs of distress on the alphas face.
“Everything´s fine.” Joes father answers for him, taking Denise´s hand and sharing a long, meaningful look with her.
Joes sigh of relief next to him is small but he knows that he probably managed to make it through the tough part. At least Joes parents aren´t trying so hard to find a skeleton in his closet for the rest of the afternoon.
“That went pretty well.” Nick says when Joe attends him out to his car.
When he turns around he finds himself with an armful of gorgeous omega. Joe´s hugging him tightly, burying his face in Nicks neck.
“I don´t know what you did or said but it was apparently the right thing.” he says muffled into the alphas skin. “Thank you.” he whispers.
Nick tightens his embrace around him. “You don´t have to thank me, baby. It wasn´t that bad, really.” he says casually.
Joe chuckles and leans back. “Sure.” The omega says and leans in to kiss Nick deeply.
The alpha just hopes that Joes parents stayed in the garden. It could cost him a few points if they´d see him kiss their precious son like this while groping the hell out of the situation.
“Do you think they´d be okay with me taking you out tomorrow?” Nick asks after breaking the kiss.
Joe´s a little flushed and Nick feels his half hard cock pressing against his own not less interested dick.
“I´ll talk to them. Call me later?” the omega says.
“Sure.” Nick says smiling and pecks Joes lips a last time before getting into his car, grinning like a loon.
