ROLEPLAY HQ - embracing-the-dark

The bright light stung Noah's eyes as he sat waiting for his visitor to arrive. This was his least favourite place. No matter how many times he had been placed in here, the result had never been a good one, just like every experience he'd had in this place. The light was always that smidgen too bright, the low buzz of the LED ringing in his ears, the room always too cold, even with his cardigan pulled tightly across his chest; all in all, the place was a sensory nightmare, let alone the harbour of many sad memories. Five times he had sat here and rejected potential... Suitors, let's say. All of his training had led him up to each of these five moments, and each time he had disappointed the facility as he said no. No was not what they wanted to hear from him, but they couldn't actually stop him when Noah's decision was final. Besides, after his blown up reactions to the alphas that came to see him, they had not much choice but to bring him back to the false safety of his little solitary bedroom, ready for further training. This was his last chance. Whether Noah liked them or not, this final visitor would have to be his partner, or his bond... Everything the facility had trained him to believe. He could only sigh as he sat impatiently for the moment to end. He was almost excited. With this moment, he could be able to leave this wretched place. Somewhere new, maybe even somewhere safe... He had so many hopes for this future, but he would be much too afraid to show it. His head hung low, he could only wait for the arrival of his visitor. @Blue Beetle

finn sighs as he sits in his car. the drive was a long one. it was also to the place he didnt want to go too. he didnt want to meet a omega....that is where he was going. the omega training center. where all the alphas get their omegas. Finn didnt want to go there. he didnt want a omega. he rubs his eyes softly as they pull up. he gets out of the car and buttons his suit jacket. he slips on his sunglasses and walks into the center. Finn was taken on a small tour of the center. he could care less. he moves to the room. his eyes were harsh and cold as he opens the door and walks in. he looks over the room. it was cold. too bright. he looks over and see a omega...a male...omega. his eyes flicker as he takes a deep breath. a shift happens in the room. he looks at the smaller male. his eyes were scanning the omega. he moves to the table and sits across from the omega. the tour guide closes the door and leaves them. alone. finn looks at noah and clears his thoat. "um...hello." his voice was strainged alittle. he takes a deep breath as he rubs his legs and taps his theigh.

10:15 AM

@juniper bee

Noah lifted his head and looked to see the arrival, not to greet him but to see who he was. He was a little frightening-looking... Tall, menacing, covered in tattoos. Similar to the others that had come to see him, though more hesitant to be there, which Noah found odd. He could only watch as Finnian approached him and sat opposite. They were totally alone. This was the bit that made Noah the most nervous. He hated being alone, especially like this. He averted his gaze, looking down once more as he responded, his voice barely above a whisper. "Hello, there..." @Blue Beetle

finn looks at him and takes a deep breath. "you are noah right. i am finnian.." he tries to stay calm. he looks at the male. he was nervous. that was clear. finn tries to keep himself calm as he looks at the omega. "tell me about yourself." he says as he leans fowards. his eyes were still cold as he sat there. he takes a deep breath as he leans foward and says "i wont bite...promise." he smiles softly as he tries to make himself less scary. finn was scary. he stood tall and had tattoos. he was inimitating figure. he watches noah as he bites his cheek. he felt...drawn to the omega. "what do you liek to do? like...in your free time..." he says as he rubs his leg to get his nervouse energy out

10:33 AM

@juniper bee

Finn's gentler approach was a surprise to the man sitting across from him. Never before had someone else been interested in his own likes, dislikes... Even his comfort. That was, it had been an awful long time since anyone had cared. He cleared his throat to speak, "Um, I like to listen to music, when I can. To read, as well. I like fiction books, fantasy ones." He said quietly. He was still reserved, but attempting to warm up to the other man to give him a chance. Maybe... Just maybe, this alpha would be good. He was setting a fairly good impression, but Noah could never be too sure. He kept still, not trying to show any sort of fear on his face, though it was fairly obvious given his shrunken in body behaviour and reserved attitude. @Blue Beetle

he looks at him. he nods "what kind of music.." he leans back softly. he looks at noah and takes a deep breath. he wnated noah. he was going to be his. finn leans foward and says "dont be nervous...if..if i scare you i am sorry..." he says softly as he leans back and give him some space. he gulps. "i would like to offer you to come with me. you wouldnt have to do anything with me. i dont expect that." he looks down as he taps his fingers. his alpha scent was strong but there was a small amount of nervouse and scared scent there. he looks at noah and hopes that he would choose him. "i dont know how many other alphas you are choosing between but...i wont be mean...i wont force you to do anything...you would...be free to do anything you want.."

10:58 AM

@juniper bee

Noah thought about his answer carefully before responding. "Well... I like, um, classical music. It's easy to listen to, I don't have to think about anything when I listen to it." Finn's scent was unmistakable, and Noah had noticed it as soon as he had entered the room, but now it seemed stronger, and he could sense nervousness, too, from the alpha. Why was he nervous? He had nothing at all to worry about, he wasn't the one who was built to be ordered about, thrown about, pulled every which way as the alpha desired. It confused the smaller man, and he ever-so-slightly tilted his head. Here it was, the offer he had been waiting for. The offer that he couldn't refuse, not this time. He gave a small, affirmative nod, not particularly processing what Finnian had to say. All that mattered was that he agreed. If he didn't... he couldn't imagine what would happen to him, if he didn't, and he didn't want to find out. With the opportunity to escape, Noah was ready to finally take it. "Okay..." @Blue Beetle

finn looks at noah and nods. "ok...i..um will tell the lead..person.." he stands and moves to the door. his eyes go hard as he starts to talk to the lead person. he tells them that noah accepted him and that he wanted to be out of here soon. a worker comes to get noah and lead him back to his room to get any of his things and to change. he got to change into the new outfits that all omegas that get chosen wear. it was a simple outfit of a shirt and pants but they were clean and new. finn pays the fees and all of that as he waits for noah. his leg was boucnign up and down. he texted his family to let them know and that he would be taking off work to help the omega settle in. he looks at noah as the omega is led out. "ready?" he asks. his kindness gone now that they were out in the world. finn leads the omega outside and to the car. he opens the door for the oemga to get in and then follows after

11:44 AM

@juniper bee

Noah took in the sight of the outside world for the first time in what felt like years. The real sunshine on his skin warming him up and the gentle breeze of the wind tickling his face was welcome to him, and so very lovely. The sounds of real, living nature as opposed to the constant hum of the artificial lighting inside the facility was enough to make him want to break down. It was an awful lot for one person to process. After so long cooped up inside, enduring the same torture over and over, day after day, and now suddenly free from it all after just one word from the man who now owned him - it was all too much for him to believe. It was truly a dream. He didn't even care to notice the goosebumps on his arms from the cold, having only been given a plain short sleeved shirt and pants as his new outfit, along with his pitiful armful of belongings; he only owned a small collection of books and a wilting houseplant, his most prized possessions for escaping from the world of disruption he had found himself in for so long. He wanted to stay outside for longer, to see the sun for just a little bit more time, but the car door was open and ready for him to enter. Noah complied reluctantly, climbing inside and shuffling about in his seat to get comfortable. He would look out of the window as soon as the door was shut, gazing at all the sights he had missed from before. "Beautiful..." Noah murmured quietly, marvelling at the simplest of sights, those that most people would hardly care to glance twice at. @Blue Beetle

finn gets in behind him and tells the driver to drive. the car starts to drive. he looks over at noah and nods "you will like my home...it is in the forest.." he loved nature..it brought him calm. a calm that he loved and needed. he looks away from the omega as his leg started to bouce. the alpha didnt talk much. he just looked out his window. he wanted to let the omega see the world..he didnt know how long the other had been in that center. but he knew it was for a long time. the drive was a long one but a nice one. they drove though the city, out into the contry and then into the forest. the house was up on a hill that made it private. it was surronded by trees on all sides. the house was a large one too. it had a outdoor pool, a running area and a garden. they pulled up and finn got out before holding the door for the omega. once he was out he closed the door and started to walk towards the home. he opens the door and lets the oemga in. "welcome.." he says as they walk in

12:05 PM

@juniper bee

To say that Noah had been impressed by every view he caught sight of along the journey would have been an understatement. Each pocket of forest and every glimpse of landscape (be it natural or manmade) had his eyes shining with wonder as he leaned against the door, his head pressed to the window. In his eyes, the world looked incredible. The house that the car slowly pulled up to was no exception. It felt almost as if it was as big as the facility, though much less sterile and frightening. The amount of space alone took Noah's breath away. Surely, this wouldn't be where he would be living? His doubts were thwarted the moment Finnian exited the car and opened the door for him again. This really was it. His brand new home, away from everything he had learnt in life thus far. "Wow..." He gasped as he stepped foot onto the driveway, the same as he stepped inside of the house, still clutching onto his precious belongings. "I... This is where you live? It's so big!" Noah remarked, incredulous still to believing this was indeed where he would be staying the rest of his life. That is, as long as everything worked out between he and Finn. "I think I'll get lost here." @Blue Beetle

finn smiles at the omega. "you wont. it is easy and if you ever do get lost you can jsut call out and i will find you...now come on let me show you around." they started in the living room and kitchen area. the down stairs was a pretty open consept. he looks around and says "this is the living room. you can use the tv anytime and the kitchen as well." he moves them along to the upstairs bedrooms. "there are a few guest rooms..my room is at the end of the hall and yours.." he opens a door and walks in. "this is yours." the door was a large room. it had a queen size bed, a walk in closet, bathroom and even a small balcony. "the bathroom is fully stocked and then tommorow i will have some clothes for you brought here.." he says as he looks at the omega. "this is your room...i...i dont want to make you uncofmortable...so..." he steps out of the room and jsut watches him. he woudlnt let himself get attached...he wouldnt.. @juniper bee

Noah, however, stepped into the room with eagerness. His very own room, and not one he could hardly walk about in. It had so much space, so many places to put his things! And the bed, it was massive! The omega was so excited by it all, but he couldn't show his excitement more than setting down his pile of things onto the bedside table, leaning forward to touch the soft sheets of the bed and sitting on it carefully to test it's comfiness. And, boy, was it soft and comfy. He could've fallen asleep right there, if he wanted to! "This is... it's amazing, but-" He stood up all of a sudden, holding his hands to his chest, looking concerned. His eyebrows furrowed, worried- "Sir, I can't possibly take all of this space. I'm supposed to be staying with you, in your room..." Noah knew the rules and what was expected of him here. To be at his alpha's side at all times, obedient and diligent in serving them to the very end. He knew that he should be sharing a room with Finnian, ideally a bed. Though... the thought of sharing a bed, it made his skin crawl. That was a dangerous situation to be getting himself into. He knew what would happen if he dared to get into bed with any alpha, and he knew it wouldn't end well. Even though he knew this for a fact, he couldn't stop himself from protesting against Finn's kindness; the importance of duty that had been drilled into his mind since day one of facility training had overtaken any sense of self-preservation, despite the best intentions for himself. @Blue Beetle

finn smiles and shakes his head "not yet. i dont want you to feel unconforable...i am ok. this is your room..a safe place for you..i will let you get settled.." he turns and walks towards his room. he opens the door and leaves it open jsut incase the omega needed anything. he didnt want the omega to be near him. he...he coudlnt catch feelings. he sighs as he rubs his eyes and moved to look for somethign the omega to wear tonight to bed. he grabbed a tshirt and some boxers. he knew they would be too big but..somethign was better than nothing.. he moves back down the hall and knocks on the open door of the omega's room. "i have some clohtes for tonight..i am going to wash them so they dont smell like me....do you have a prefered smell?" his eyes werent cold and hard bu they were still empty. he was always empty. he stands there waiting. "if you need anyhting for tonight i can see if i can get someone to develier it.."

12:40 PM

@juniper bee

When Finn returned, he could see Noah looking out of the window that led to the balcony, entranced by the view. It overlooked the surrounding forest, with subtle outlines of hills and distant cities far, far away. His hands were pressed against the window as he watched the world, and he was so focused on the view that part of him had not yet processed Finn entering the room. He turned back to the alpha with a shy smile. "Ah. Sorry. And thank you, I'm okay with anything. As long as it's easy for you, that's all I care about." He really didn't want to be a burden on the man, especially since he was already going to be an extra mouth to feed, person to house... Omega to take care of... It was an awful lot of responsibility for just one person. Noah really wajted to help out where he could by being as supposedly content and needless as possible. @Blue Beetle

finn nods and goes to walk away but stops. he takes a deep breath and says "um..let me know when you are hungry...i will be downstairs.." he says before moving away and leaving the omega. he hums lightly as he puts the clothes in to the washer with a scent nutualizing clothes wash. he moves to the kitchen and then looks at the food he had. he started to make a listen of what food that the omega might like...he writes down some of the food before rubbing his eyes. he was losing his edge...he moves to make himself a small snack as he waited for the laundry to get done

4:40 AM

@juniper bee

Soon enough, the omega made his way downstairs following the growling of his stomach, carefully treading so not to make as much sound. He looked about the kitchen a little as he made his way down the stairs, hoping that he would soon find it much easier to navigate the large space, not to mention all those cupboards and drawers with their contents Noah almost snuck up on the alpha given how silently he had approached, instead clearing his throat to announce his presence. "Hello, um... Sir." Noah spoke softly, trying not to startle. @Blue Beetle

Finn jumps slightly before looking at Noah “Finn…my name is Finn..” he says as he leans against the counter and says “what do you need?” His eyes were showing no emotions. His voice was the same way. He crosses his arms as he looks over the omega. He didn’t think the laundry was done… “is there soemthing in your room you need?” He didnt want him to not have something he needed. He watches the male. The kitchen was large. It had everything that they would need. The fridge was stocked full of different drinks and food. The freezer was the same way. There was plenty of dishes and there was a large sink and dishwasher. @juniper bee

N:"Right, Finn. Sorry..." The young man bowed his head apologetically. He was messing up already, and it had only been a few minutes. He took a slow breath in, trying to calm himself and prevent any more of those pesky negative thoughts popping into his head. Though, Finn's blank expression did not instill much confidence in the omega as he gave his reasoning. He fiddled with the hemline of his shirt absentmindedly. "Um, it's not anything with my room, I was just going to-" His stomach interrupted with its own protest, growling loudly again- "Ah, I'm sorry! I was going to find something to take back with me, but... If it's okay, could I stay here? With you?" He stopped for a moment, watching his hands fumble with his shirt to calm himself down. "I don't like being alone." (edited)

10:18 AM

@Blue Beetle

he nods before sayign "you can..what do yuo want to eat? you cna have a look around if you wnat.." he tries to put distance. he was falling for this omega...he just didnt want too yet...he bites his lip as he opens the fridge for the omega to look into. "if you have any diet restrictions let me know...we can go and get new food if you dont like anything i haev here.." he says as he turns to get a drink of water. the frigde was packed with sandwhich things, veggies, fruits, and anything else that someone might want for a meal. the freezer was also packed with frozen meals and other ready to go meals. he watches the omega. his mind was wondering as he stood there...watching the ding for the washer went off and finn moved to go and switch the clothes over. he put another scent nuetizling cloth into the dryer. jsut in case his scent was still on them...he didnt knwo why that bothered him..that the oemga wouldnt be covered in his scent

10:43 AM

@juniper bee

After a little rummaging around in the fridge, Noah had picked up a few healthy handfuls of fruit and some little bits and bobs to make himself a sandwich. He brought them all over to the kitchen counter in one big armful. He'd never actually made his own food before. Either it was given to him at mealtimes or not given at all. It was weird, to be able to rely on himself to get that food now. But it felt like a good kind of weird. Instead of assembling a sandwich like he'd originally planned, Noah ended up taking little nibbles of everything one at a time, figuring out which food he liked best. Though, he felt a little uneasy, still. Finn's nicer side back at the facility had long since disappeared since they had both gotten into the car. Did Finnian actually like him, or was he just trying to be nice? What was even the point in choosing an omega you weren't even connecting with? It really confused the poor young man, enough to make him feel that pit of dread in his stomach once more. He really hoped that he hadn't upset Finn in anyway, though even if he had, he wouldn't have known what had upset the alpha in any way. As he ate, his gaze became unfocused and he stared at the kitchen counter quietly. @Blue Beetle

finn comes back and looks at the omega. he seemed to be staring off. he goes up to him and lightly touches the omega's shoulder. "hey..." his voice was soft again. he looks at him and says "sorry...i..umm your clothes will be done soon...um...do..nevermind." he turns away and takes a bite of his food that he had. finn didnt know what he was doing. god why cant he be normal. he rubs his eyes as he looks down. he wanted noah to stay with him..but..what if...he hated him just becasue he is a alpha... he rubs his eyes and sighs softly. "i...i am going to be in my room..if...if you need anything.." he starts to walk to the bedroom

11:27 AM

@juniper bee

Noah flinched a little at the touch he had not been expecting. He didn't want to flinch, not at all, and he hated that he seemed so frightened for no reason. "Oh, thank you..." Noah laughed nervously, "I..." He started, but before he could finish, Finn was on his way out. Had he done something wrong? Noah set his food down quickly, "Wait, Finn. Please don't go. Don't leave yet." He paused, getting a little closer to Finn to try and convince him to stay, "I don't want to be alone. I'm sorry, is that okay?"

11:47 AM

@Blue Beetle

finn looks at him and nods "right..sorry...i...have..never lived with...a omega before..." he smiles softly and reaches out his hand. he rest his hand on the other's head. "come on..you can hang out in my room." he starts back to his room. the room was a large one. the bed was a king size. he opens his closet before stepping in and starting to fold his clothes. he bites his lip softly as he looks at the omega. "tell me about yourself...or..if you have any questions about me you can ask.." he says as he folds some of his clothes. his eyes were softened. he wanted to be close...he gulps softly as he moves to noah and pulls him into his chest. his eyes close as he takes a deep breath "s-sorry..."

11:54 AM

@juniper bee

Noah really wasn't sure how to react now. Being so close to Finn, able to smell him so close... It was almost too much. His hands tried to catch him from falling too far, but only ended up pressing against Finn's chest. "Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." He tried to apologize again, but his words failed him now he was caught off guard. "Could you... I'm sorry, could we, um-" He tried to gently push himself away- "Do you mind if I sit? I feel a little lightheaded." He wasn't technically lying; Noah did feel lightheaded, but mostly because he was feeling so worried. Worried, and a little... Well. His training was trying to kick in, despite the fact that he wanted to deny it. He didn't like it, but he could feel himself getting heated. And he wanted to get away. @Blue Beetle

finn looks at him and nods "sorry.." he steps back and moves to the other corner of the room. his eyes were turned down. fuck fuck fuckfuck. he clears his thoat as he tries to hide his panic. "um...i..i am sorry...sit on my bed...i...i..." he taps his leg as he looks away and cusses at hiself. he was so stupid.. "sorry." his voice was hard again. he turned to go back into his closet and he jsut stood there. his eyes closed. he was a idiot. he messed up. he sighs and looks at his hands. he coudlnt...touch soething so pure...he moves to his bathroom and clears up alittle bit. he was staying away from the omega. his body was tense. his mind was running wild.

12:15 PM

@juniper bee

Noah sat with his head in his hands for a moment, taking the time to calm himself down and have a breather. He kept telling himself the same few sentences in his mind. You're fine. You're safe. He won't hurt you. Maybe it was all a lie, maybe he really was lying to himself... But he couldn't let himself lose hope in this new place. Anything would be better than the facility he'd been rotting in. Noah hadn't realised how tightly he'd had his eyes squeezed shut until he opened them and finally noticed that Finn had disappeared. "Finn?" He called out in a small voice. @Blue Beetle

finn takes a deep breath before walking out his bathroom. "i am here...sorry again.." he kept away from the omgea. he didnt want to scare him. he looks at noah. his eyes soften slightly as he looks away. he couldnt...he..he scared the male..he was a mosnter. "i wont touch you anymore...i should have asked..." he says as he plays with is fingers. the alpha looked nervouse and as if he had kicked a dog. his eyes were not meeting the omega. "i think your clothes are done so i will get those and then um....yeah.." he starts to walk but stops "do...um..do you want to come with?"

12:32 PM

@juniper bee

"I'm sorry, its not you..." Noah tried to explain exactly what he was feeling and exactly why he was so afraid to be touched, yet he couldn't get the words out. It felt terrible not to be able to express his concerns, nor his past. He was so very grateful for Finn's offer, however. The alpha seemed okay-ish now, Noah had observed, and he wanted to make it up to him for upsetting him again. With a nod, he responded. "Yes, please." He got up and joined Finn at his side, trying his best to keep his gaze from looking down at the ground as usual. @Blue Beetle

finn walks with him down the stairs and to the laundry room. he takes out the clothes before folding them. "there...these can be your sleep clothes till i get some clothes brough here tomorrow." he says as he slides the clothes over to the omega. he didnt touch the other. "is your room ok? i know you said you dont want to be alone..i can stay in the room till you sleep...i am right down the hall if you need anything.." his hands were still tapping his leg as he tries to get his nervouse energy out of his body. he was so nervouse....he takes a deep breath as he looks at the male and smiles a small amount. "you dont have to worry...i wont hurt you...i...am sorry again for touching you wihtout asking..i shouldnt have done that.." he looks down as he thinks. just as him... no...he would be scared of him

12:47 PM

@juniper bee

Noah followed after the alpha once again, watching his back carefully. He hadn't really considered what else he might have wanted in his room - in his eyes it was perfect as it was, given how much was already in there - let alone what he might have needed. "It's perfect as it is, please don't change it." Noah raised his hands, shaking them as he shook his head also. He returned to his original position behind the counter, grabbing some of the fruit he had left behind earlier. "It's okay, it's not your fault. You should be able to touch me without my jumping 6 feet in the air, haha." He tried to joke lightly. "So long as I get a bit of notice and time to respond, I think I'll be okay. Like this." He stood away from the counter, now looking directly at Finn to demonstrate, "I'm gonna grab hold of your hand, okay?" Noah reached out his hand and gently took hold of Finn's. "Does that make sense?" @Blue Beetle

finn looks at him and nods. he watches the male and freezes as he looks at their hands. it was...nice....he takes a deep breath deep breath as he nods "yes.." his body was tense as he didnt want to sscare the omega. he just looks at their hands. he liked the feeling.... finn gulsp as he says "i will make sure to let you know...i..i am sorry again.." he looks at noah. he wanted to know why he was scared...he takes a deep breath and speaks again "my room is just down the hall from yours..if you need anything just call and i will come and help you...or you can come into my room and wake me...i dont mind.." he slowly rubs his thumb agsint the omegas hand

6:37 AM

@juniper bee

Noah gave Finn a small smile of gratitude. It was nice to have someone listen to him, even more so to have his words be really heard by them. Finn was trying his best, and that's all Noah had ever really wanted from anyone. "Thank you, Finn. I really appreciate you thinking of me." He also liked holding Finn's hand, he had realised. It was nice, not to mention it felt warm and almost... safe standing beside him, like Finn would protect him. Sure, it wasn't perfect - Finn had already made it clear there were mistakes to be made on both ends as they got to know each other - but it was.. it was good. "Will you please eat with me? I like the company." @Blue Beetle

finn nods and says "yeah.." he keeps holding the others hand as he walk to the kitchen and sits down..fianlly letting the other's hand go. he sits there and watches noah. his eyes were having alittle more life to them. he smiled alittled at the other. "what food do you like?" he asks as they sit near each other. he kept his hands close to him and made sure that he didnt go into the other space. "i have some clothes being devlivered and i can get food that you want brought as well...and dont worry about money." finn's family was some of the richest alphas. he had more money than he ever needed

8:52 AM

@juniper bee

"What food?" Noah hummed as he thought. He might as well answer Finn's questions; saying nothing would only make their relationship more awkward and he wanted to enjoy his time here, not fear it. What did he even like, though? They didn't serve a particularly wide array of food choices at the facility, and he hadn't tried most things. "I like all kinds of fruits, and I like soup, too... Tomato is my favourite kind. I haven't really tried much else, but I want to!" He tilted his head at Finn as he went back to grazing on his food. "What about you? What do you like?" (edited)

@Blue Beetle

he nods and says "i like hamburgers...i also like soup..i will make sure that we are stocked with soup and fruit." he says as he looks at his list. he starts to write down the things he needed to get for food and for the omega. he looks at noah and gulps. "can...can i ask you a questions...about the center." he looks at noah. "did...did they give you anything for your...heats? i want to make sure that i get you anything you might need.." he bites his cheek as he looks at noah. "i wont get upset or anything...i want you to be comfortable here.."

8:19 AM

@juniper bee

Noah tilted his head. "Do you mean like heat blockers? No, they didn't give us anything, it was sort of part of the training, I guess. Do you want me to use those?" He asked nervously. He'd never used one before, let alone thought about it. Either Finn wanted to repress the omega's heat or encourage it even more, and both options made him feel a bit anxious. What would happen either way? "I'll do whatever you want, as long as you're happy." Noah blurted out as an additional comment, just to make sure Finn knew that he was still caring towards the alpha's wants and needs. @Blue Beetle

he shakes his head "no..i..mean like any scent helpers?" he rubs his neck "like a pillow that has a alpha's scent on it....to help.." he looks at noah and says "i dont want you to take a heat blocker.." he growls lightly as he takes a deep breath "sorry...um...i can get you a heat pad, a body pillow i can get some alpah scent.." he didnt know if noah wanted his scent on anything...it made him nervouse... "anything you need...i can get blankets and other things if you wnat..." his leg was boucing hard. "um...when...when was your last heat? and do you know when you should have your next?

5:53 AM

@juniper bee

The omega blinked slowly as he processed what Finn had said. He wanted to help him through it? It was a kind gesture, though he wasn't sure how things like scented pillows and blankets were going to help, as he'd never tried it before. "A blanket sounds nice, and a pillow. They sounded really comforting, and if he could have more of those soft pillows he'd definitely take the opportunity. "As for my um... Yeah. I haven't had it for a while now, so it'll be due soon..." He answered quietly. Noah was worried about that, the timing had been a little tight for him in terms of how soon he'd be in heat, especially now in a new environment. He had no idea how it'd play out. "Is that okay? I'm sorry, haha." @Blue Beetle

he nods and writes down some of the things he wanted to get for the omega. "ok...hey..it is ok..you have a safe place in your room and if...if i make you uncomforable...i...i can stay in a differnt part of the house...i have a caretaker come and...help you..." he plays with the pencil. "i want you to be safe...and...to have a space to have your heat..." he looks down and bites his lip. he didnt know what he was going to do...he was nervouse but he would be there for noah. "i can get you some things...um and yeah..."

6:34 AM

@juniper bee

Noah gave him a little smile, touched by how much Finn was willing to work to help him feel settled. "Thank you, Finn. I trust you, you've given me a lot already after so little time..." His gaze traveled down to his hands again and his smile faded. "The facility- that place... It wasn't nice. They're doing awful things to good people in there." He murmured. "Thank you for choosing me. I don't know how much longer I would have lasted if you hadn't have taken me away." As he spoke, he bowed his head in gratitude. @Blue Beetle

he looks at him and wants to hold him. he takes a deep brath and says "can..can i hold your hand.." he sets his hand out for noah. "you wont be hurt anymore...you dont have to worry about that..i...i wont touch you if you dot want me too...i wont even come near you if you dont want me too.." he smiled softly at noah. "you must be tired..how about we get you to bed ok? we can talk more tomorrow.." he stands before looking at noah

Noah was about to protest, but a yawn soon escaped his mouth. He quickly covered it with his hands, chuckling awkwardly. "I guess I am pretty sleepy, haha. Let's go." Noah got to his feet and stoof at Finn's side, gently taking hold of his hand. Together, they walk back up the stairs to Noah's room, until he lets of Finn's hand to sit on his own bed again. He sighs happily as he sinks into the soft mattress, laying on his back. "So niiiice." @Blue Beetle

he smiles as they walk. he walks into the room and smiles "the bathroom is stocked. here are your clothes..i am just down the hall if you need anything..." he says as he moves out of the omega's room and to his room. he gets ready for bed as well. he hums lightly as he pulls his shirt off and rolls his neck. he was covered in tattoos and scars

7:30 AM

@juniper bee

The young man closed the door after Finn to get changed in peace, shutting it with a muted click. He carelessly peeled his clothes off, tossing them into the floor beside his new bed and reached to grab the freshly dried, still warm clothing that would serve as his pyjamas for the night. He hugged them close to his chest for a moment, enjoying the warmth they still had before he eventually put them on. They were a lot bigger on him that his counterpart, at least one or two sizes bigger, but they still covered him well, which is what he cared about. With a stretch, Noah clambered into bed, under the covers, and let out another bigger yawn, his eyes squeezed tightly shut. This was so nice. His very own, big bed. Within a few minutes, Noah was drifting off, breathing slow and deep as he fell deeper into sleep. @Blue Beetle

finn's phone goes off. he picks up as he gets changed. it was his parents...they wanted to meet the omega. he growls as he tells them they will see him once the oemga is ready. he hangs up the phone and rubs his eyes. he was getting mad. he takes a deep breath as he gets dressed and moves to get into bed. he left his door open. he didnt fall asleep right away. he stayed up just incase... his eyes were starting to get heavy as he yawns before he close his eyes and falls asleep. he breathes deep as he slept. he was a light sleeper

7:44 AM

@juniper bee

A few hours passed before Noah began to stir. It wasn't unlike him to have restless sleep; most nights he only slept a few hours at a time until he'd wake up, before falling asleep soon after. This time, however, he was beginning to get restless because of bad dreams. Images of those same bleak artificial lights that illuminated the halls of his previous prison-like living place, the same headache-inducing buzz of electricity echoing in his room, the screaming of his neighbours... He sat up with a jolt, his heart thumping. It felt terrible to have those nightmares, especially now he was actually in a safe place. He knew that, and yet his brain wanted to betray him. Maybe... He'd go to Finn. He'd be safe with him, surely. Noah climbed out of bed and quietly padded over to Finn's room, surprised to see his door still open. He peeked around the corner to see Finn fast asleep. This was probabky a bad idea. But he hated the thought of waking up alone with those frightening thoughts still racing in his mind. He gently knocked on the door, whispering to the alpha from across the room. "Finn? Finn's wake up!" @Blue Beetle

finn was laying there on his bed. he wakes up at the small voice. he sat up and rubs his eyes "y-yeah?" he says. his eyes were half closed and his voice was deep. he moved to sit up and stretch before he stands and moves to noah. he turns on a lamp and looks at the male "whats up.." he says as he stands there. he bends down and looks at him. "whats wrong..." his scent started to move out and cover the two male. his eyes showed his concern. "whats wrong...noah?" he says as he lightly touches the other's hand. "sorry...can i touch you?" he wanted to comfort the male..

8:00 AM

@juniper bee

Noah only nodded as he looked away, a little ashamed of himself now he realised what he had done. He felt like a child asking for help after having a bad dream at night. This was so childish of him, why was he even upset in the first place? If he couldn't feel safe in his own room, what was the point in coming here, or even being able to leave the facility at all? Doubts began to swirl in his had, followed by waves of guilt. He deserved this feeling, didn't he? Those feelings of fear and guilt and shame. He deserved to have bad dreams and to be reminded of where he had come from. He deserved to feel ashamed for asking for help for such a stupid thing like a bad dream. Tears began to well in his eyes. Why was he so close to crying? "I... I'm sorry." He whispered again, his voice wavering. It truly felt awful. "I'm sorry, it's silly." @Blue Beetle

finn looks at him and moves. he pulls noah into a hug. "shhh..it isnt silly...whats wrong? did you have a bad dream?" he wipes the tears as he holds noah. "just breath...." he picks noah up and carries him to finn's bed. "ok..lay down here.." he lays noah down as he wipes more tears "dont cry...whats wrong..." he wanted to help. the alpha held the other's hand as he sits next to the omega. "your feelings are silly...you are allowed to feel them..." he say as he brushes some hair out of noah's face. "just breath...i am here..you are safe

8:12 AM

@juniper bee

Noah felt himself lift from the ground, being carried over to Finn's bed with very little effort, which surprised him enough to stop the tears from falling. The support of the bed underneath him calmed him a little, along with the gentle touch of Finn's hands. He took a few long, deep breaths to calm himself. With a sniffle, he managed to respond. "I had a nightmare. It was awful, and I thought... It's not real, it's not really anymore." His words, as well as his thoughts, kept darting back and forth as he processed the moment and his overwhelming feelings. "I'm sorry that I woke you. Are you okay?" @Blue Beetle

He shakes his head “shhh…I am ok. Don’t worry about me..” he says softly as he looks at him. He moves his thumb into small circles on Noah’s hand. He looks at the omega and says “do you want to go back to your room or stay here?” He didn’t want Noah to feel like he had to stay but if he needed to that was fine with him. He just sat there giving the omega some attention to help with calming him. His scent was filling the room and Finn was having a hard time not to just pull Noah into his arms and keep him here. He couldn’t pressure the omega. Finn knew the center was bad but he didn’t know how bad

8:27 AM

@juniper bee

He lay quietly for a few moments, allowing his breathing and heart rate to settle. The quiet gave him time to consider his options. It would probably be better for him to stay with Finn, in case another nightmare crept up on him. He'd be able to calm down much faster, maybe even sleep better the rest of the night... At the same time, though, he dreaded the thought of making Finn worry about him. It wasn't his fault that he kept waking up, and yet he was still dealing with the consequences. "I don't want to bother you, but... Could I please stay?" Noah asked him politely, looking over at Finn in the darkness. He could already feel the lull of sleep coming over him again after such an intense few moments, and the adrenaline he once had was starting to wear off. "If it's okay." @Blue Beetle

he nods and moves the blankets up and over the omega. "do you want me to lay in the bed with you? i dont want you to feel uncomforable.." he says softly as he sits on the side of the bed. he wouldnt move to lay down unless noah wanted him. if noah says no then he would move to the ground and just lean against the bed. if he said yes then finn moves to the other side of the bed and gets in. he rubs his eyes and yawns. he lays down and faces the omega. "just breath..you are safe.." he says as he lays there. he yawns alittle as he lays there. his hand moves to lightly rub noah's cheek. " you are safe...i am here if you have another nightmare just wake me up ok?

8:49 AM

@juniper bee

Noah nodded once again to Finn's offer. Perhaps having his company so close would help him feel more at ease, even if it meant facing his fear of sleeping in the same bed as him. His comfort for sleep at the moment was more important to him right now than his comfort when it came to the other problems on his mind. He turned on his side to face Finn, pressing his face comfortably into the pillow. "Mmm..." He gave the alpha a soft hum to show his acknowledgement and thanks, unable to keep his eyes open again for much longer. Only a few minutes passed before he once again felt himself fall into sleep, his eyes shutting closed a second time. @Blue Beetle

finn smiled as he watches noah. he whispers "good night.." he says softly before he closes his eyes and falls back asleep. he was able to fall back asleep very easily. he stayed in the bed facing the omega. his hand was close to oemga just incase he needed anything. he was breathing slowly and deeply. he was relaxed. his own dreams were filled with noah and him. he mumble ssoftly as he moves closer to noah. his arms move around noah and pulls him close to his chest

9:30 AM

@juniper bee

Noah was undisturbed by nightmares the rest of the night. In fact, he suffered no sort of dreams at all, good nor bad, which was a first for him. He stayed sound asleep, safe in Finn's arms, until the morning came the next day. He began to stir again early in the morning, his eyes fluttering open and his gaze meeting Finn's chest. Noah held his breath for a moment as he put two and two together. Finn must have pulled him in close during his sleep! He wouldn't have done so without asking had he been awake, so that was the only explanation. It did feel sort of nice, to be held so softly, and to hear the alpha's heartbeat against his ear. It was soothing, in a way. A calm start to the day. Noah rubbed at his eyes and looked up to watch Finn's face as he slept. He looked a lot less scary when he was fully relaxed, even more so when he was holding Noah like this. "Good morning." He said quietly, not wanting to wake Finn up right away. @Blue Beetle

finn was still asleep as the omega woke. his arms were lightly around him and his head was down snuggling closer with him. he groans softly not wanting to wake. he stayed still as his ears pick up the other's voice. his eyes open alittle and he looks down. he didnt move for a moment before quickyl backing awya and falling out of bed. "ow..." he groans as he sits up and rubs his head. "I-i am so sorry..i-i didnt realize.." his voice was paniced. his eyes were too. he had pulled noah close...he had touched him..his breathing hitches as he tries to calm himself. his eyes were locked with noah "i am so so sorry.."

11:47 AM

@juniper bee

The quiet didn't last very long, given that Finn practically flew out if bed as soon as he'd seen his sleeping position. It surprised Noah as much as Finn had surprised himself and the omega scrambled to the side of the bed and peered over it to make sure Finn was alright. "I'm fine, but are you okay? Did you hit your head?" Noah asked him worriedly, more concerned about whether or not Finn had injured himself than to consider that the alpha had 'broken' his promise. "Let me see." He crawled out of bed sleepily and slipped into the ground to sit beside Finn, reaching out his hands to check his head for any sort of bumps or lumps. "You surprised me then!" @Blue Beetle

finn looks at noah and nods "y-yes i am fine...i-" he looks at him as he climbs down and sits next to him. he watches noah and leans into his hand. "i am ok...noah...i am sorry i pulled you to me...i..." he was embrassed. he looks away from the omega and takes a few deep breathes. "did you sleep ok?" he looks at noah as they sat there on the floor. he didnt have any bumps or anything. he was more worried about noah. to make sure that he didnt feel that he had pushed him.. "i am sorry again...i..didnt..mean to..." he messed up...he had messed up

4:31 AM

@juniper bee

Noah shushed him quietly, his hands gently rubbing through Finn's hair while he continued to check for head bumps. "It's fine. I'm more worried about you! Now sit still." A quiet fell over the room whilst they say together, until Noah pulled his hands away and placed them in his lap. "It's okay, really. I know you didn't mean it. You promised, so..." The omega trailed off, leaning his head on the side of the bed. The sunlight was just about peeking through the room through the gaps in the curtains, hitting his face enough to make Noah squint. "Do you mind if I get some food?" @Blue Beetle

finn just watches him and sighs. "of course...you dont have to ask.." he says as he sits up and watches him. he smiles "do you want me to come with?" he says softly as he sits there. "then we can go though the clothes that i am going to have for you." he says as he gets up and moves to walk towards the kitchen. he would wait for noah. as they walked into the kitchen there was bags of food and clothes as well as heat helpers. he moves and starts to unpack the clothes and food. he had gotten fruit, soup and other things. the heat helpers were a few body pillows that had heat pads, some blankets, and a bottle of alpah scent. he looks at the scent and sighs. he...he was mad. but he coudlnt...he sets down the bottle and moves on

7:32 AM

@juniper bee

Noah too made his way into the kitchen, right behind Finn, and quietly marvelled at how many items had been delivered for him. Bags of food, bundles of heat aids and bottles of that scent. Noah curiously picked it up after Finn had set it down, looking carefully at it's label. Odd... Wouldn't Finn want him to be using his scent, not a generic one? Maybe it would be easier if it was generalizable and not associated to the alpha this time while Noah was settling down. "Should I start using thing now, before it starts properly? I don't want it to go to waste, though..." @Blue Beetle

He looks at Noah. His eyes showing his thoughts ont he scent. “I…I…” he didn’t want him to use it. “I don’t want you to use it…but…I know you probably don’t want my scent over you…” he says as he looks away and closes his eyes. “Use it when you start to feel your heat…I will make sure I take scent blockers…take way you aren’t overwhelmed..” he says as he moves to take out the rest of the things. He wanted to smash that bottle. But he couldn’t…he didn’t want TK scare the omega and push his scent onto him…he wouldn’t do that

3:12 PM

@juniper bee

Though Noah was a little confused by Finnian's hesitance to respond, he did appreciate his honesty. The alpha was clearly upset with the notion of Noah using a scent that wasn't his own. Noah grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around himself. He loved the comfort it brought him, most importantly the nice warmth it brought as soon as he pulled it over his shoulders. A happy sigh came from the smaller man as he enjoyed the gift. "If you don't want me to, I won't. I trust you." He said reassuringly, following behind Finn so the alpha would at least hear what he had to say. "You've been nothing but kind to me so far, and I really appreciate everything you've done for me." @Blue Beetle

Finn looks at Noah and his eyes seemed to light up. “Really…you would do that?” He says as he turns to him and smiles. “I…I would like that…um..but if..if you don’t want to it is ok..” he moves to the bedroom that finn would be staying in. The alpha had a few blankets and other omega heat things. He moves into the room and lays the things on the bed. Finn picks up a small stuff animal “this is a heat pack..and I can also put my scent on this if you want..”

1:44 AM

@juniper bee

Noah couldn't help but grin at the little stuffed toy that had also been brought to his room along with the piles of blankets and heat pads. It was very cute, and it looked soft to the touch. He reached his hand out to take it from Finn, letting the soft fabric run through his fingers. "What a cute lil guy! Yes, please, I'd love to have him, too." He sat himself down on the bed beside the folded blankets, placing the toy in his lap as he looked back up at the alpha. There was so much still for him to learn and plenty more for him to get used to now he was here, away from the place he had previously reluctantly called 'home'. Here he had so much more, and it hadn't even been a full day. Noah let out a small, happy sigh. "Is your head still okay? I hope you didn't bump it too hard."

7:33 AM

@Blue Beetle

finn looks at the male and smiles. he doesnt sit before looking back up. "i am fine. nothing to worry about...i hope this..that you like this...i wnat you to like it here..and to feel safe." he says before settign down the heat pad and moves to the door. "i shouldnt intrute...if you need anything i will be in the gym which is next to the living room.." he smiles softly before leaving noah. finn wanted to stay with noah. he wanted to put his scent all over him and those iteams but..he didnt want to scare the omega. he slips of his shirt before he starts to warm up and box. he let his anger out on the bag
