Chapter 1: Unforgivable Hierarchy
The world was perfect, seemingly flawless. An utopia of sorts. You were born with a nature, a future role, that being one of either Alpha, Beta, or Omega. Each nature's role was different, coming together to form the society that had essentially functioned since the beginning of time.
Alphas and Betas were the dominant ones, the leaders in the society, making decisions, doing jobs, taking care of their families. Occasionally Alphas and Betas would mate, however, this was a uncommon occurrence.
Omegas were the submissives, enslaved, sold off to the highest bidder for their childbearing abilities. As they were rare, they were scavenged for by the government, stripped of their rights and family as soon as they were discovered. It was inevitable, and society had accepted it as a means of reproduction.
The world was by no means perfect, yet it was accepted nonetheless. There were no other options.
At least, not yet...

"Hej, Lukie, wanna play catch?"
An energetic child approached the young Norwegian's view, holding a tennis ball which had been marred and worn from repeatedly bouncing in the dirt.
"Nej, Matthias. I'd rather not get hit in the face again." Lukas yawned, bored.
"I told you, that was an accident!"
Matthias pouted childishly as another child approached behind them both, hands in his pockets.
"H'llo."
"Oh. Hey Ber."
"C'mon guys, let's play catch! Please?"
"Sure, fine."
"Don' care."
Many hours passed before the decided to head home, as the sun was beginning to set and all three were feeling tired and sweaty from playing. They all agreed to meet up tomorrow to walk to school together.
"Us future Alphas have to stick together!" Matthias said, grinning.
"M. 'Course." There was a hint of a smile on the young Swede's face.
"We will." Lukas smirked. Despite the three of them being quite different, what with Berwald's silent nature, Matthias' childishness, and his apathy, he was confident they would stay friends. It had been that way since childhood and wouldn't change now, or ever.
"Unless, the possibility that one of our natures were discovered to be Omega." His mind nagged.
No. That was too unlikely. They excelled in school and sports, and Lukas knew each of the three could fend for themselves if need be. The polar opposite of what each child had been taught about Omega nature.
Omegas were rare in the first place, how could either of the three of them be Omega?
In a few years, their nature would be revealed anyways. Might as well not worry and anticipate the day where they could see if they were Alpha or Beta.
•O•O•O•O•O•
3 years later...
Lukas groaned, hitting the alarm clock beside his bed, which stopped with a click, the sound still ringing in his ears.
Today was the first day of middle school. Fantastic.
His stomach had been hurting lately for some reason, but he brushed it off as some sort of cold. It would probably go away later, anyways.
He planned to sign up for football. It was Matthias' suggestion, really, but the three all enjoyed football, so they all agreed to sign up for tryouts as soon as they could.
After eating a meager breakfast, which consisted of a granola bar and a banana, Lukas waved goodbye to his parents and left for school. The walk there was uneventful, he approached the red-bricked building without a second glance, having seen it a few days ago when they went to pick up their schedules.
Unsurprisingly, his classes were uneventful as well, despite the fact that the rest of the freshmen were fidgeting in their seats, excited and nervous for the first day. At the end of the day, he, Berwald, and Matthias met up and walked home, just like any other day. Just like they did while in elementary school.
The rest of the year went by in the same fashion, the days, weeks, months rolled by like a bike on a sunny day. The tests and assignments were mundane and repetitive. The holidays festive, the spring lively and warm after the chilly winter. Kicking around the football after they made the team.
Some students did find out their nature, of course. A few tussles here and there, the occasional brawl...Eventually, both Matthias and Berwald had discovered their Alpha nature when they fought over the ball as they played football. Lukas chuckled as he recalled that he had to wrestle Matthias away when he began to scratch and bite at Berwald in an attempt to get him to give up the ball. They had all come out with a few bruises and cuts here and there, and Lukas noticed both had erections for some reason, but decided not to comment on it.
As summer neared, the atmosphere in school became similar to that of the first day's. Jittery students waiting for the bell that would dismiss them to summer. It became harder to drag himself out from under his comfortable bedsheets, where he could dream of magic and wonderlands.
*RINGGGGGGG!*
A horde of students stampeded out the door, ready for summer vacation. Lukas lingered behind to wait on his friends so they could walk home together. Just like they had done for the entire year.
A/N: I absolutely suck at writing romance, but I couldn't find any good fanfics for Nordic omegaverse, so here we go! I probably won't be able to update that often with school and stuff but hopefully I can finish this story and you can enjoy? Please read and review to help me improve! •v•
