In England laid a town, a beautiful one if you asked someone outside the town. Many of the habitable were of different cultures who came for work or those who wanted to live in the beautiful atmosphere. It was like any other English Victorian city. Omegas walked down the street with their dresses raised so it wouldn't catch in the light snow on the side walks. The Alpha stayed away, letting only their eyes wander over the bodies they wished to meet again. Some of the married couples sat on benches keeping each other warm with sweet kisses and keeping close on the sidewalk. The snow just kept fluttering, it was just so cold it froze the water fountain in the middle of town! If you listen closely you could hear the sound of carriages creaking as they made their way up cobbled roads and even if the smell of the city was like a horse's behind, the habitable got used to the smell.
In a small shop with a glass window showcasing beautiful dresses with it's creaky sign, three Omegas were in the shop trying on dresses. The only women sat on an over stuff red seat, her hair was a dark auburn and put into a high bun, a poke bonnet laid on her lap as she just discarded it. Her dress was simple maroon colored with a floral design on her petticoat and a chocker she wore on her neck. Her brown eyes skimmed the shop as she patiently waited for her sons.
Her first son, well technically the first to come out her womb, made his debut from the dressing room with dresses draped over his arm. Her had dark auburn hair and golden eyes. His body frame was slim, yet he had a beautiful curved waist. He wore a blue dress with puffed out sleeves with tiny bows on each shoulder. A cage crinoline was under the skirt giving it some real form.
"Mama, I like the first dress." He said sweetly as he handed over the dress which was a dark green with long bell sleeves. She gave him an odd look, her son didn't like the color green, but he was blushing so she could make an inference.
"Ok Lovino, whatever you wish to wear to the ball is your choice." She tapped his nose making it crinkle and he blushed even harder. She assumed he caught the eye of a hopeful Alpha who wished to court him. He was about 22, a good age to find an Alpha and settle down. So this practically overjoyed her.
"Oh Mama!" Her youngest child came out of the dressing room. He wore a white long-sleeved dress shirt with ruffles on the chest with a thick red ribbon tied around his waist that lead into a movable tan skirt, under this one was another cage crinoline. He had auburn hair that swayed in the wind as he spun around, honey colored eyes filled with joy. "These dresses are all so pretty, I can't just pick one." He handed one to Lovino and one to Mama. "Hmm." He mumbled and held up the last dress as he looked through.
"Just pick one, dear, it's getting dark." Mama said in a sweet voice and her youngest son looked up with sad eyes.
"This one." He took the one from Lovino which was a pale pink one with a wool poncho over the shoulders and long sleeves, perfect for the weather.
"I'll get these checked out by the clerk, you boys better be ready to leave when I get back." Mama warned them and the youngest boy giggled.
"Feliciano, how can you be so immature. An Alpha would look at you like a rowdy animal." Lovino scolded his twin as he picked up a red cloak and put on the white bonnet decorated with realistic blue flowers. He reached for the white muff, but Feliciano took it.
"This is mine." He smiled, surpassing a giggle as he wore a similar cloak, but it was shorted ending at his tiny waist. It was the same white as Lovino and they wore similar poke bonnet, but his had red flowers.
"Sorry, excuse my manners." Lovino huffed grabbing the other muff sticking his hand in it rather harshly.
Mama came back with the dresses put in neat bags and she put on her poke bonnet and was helped into the cloak that was similar to Lovino's by her Omega sons. "Mama," Lovino cringed, Feliciano sounded ready to tell on him, "can't we one day see the freak show, Francis told me it was mad as hops(1)!" He giggled and Lovino practically took a breather, well as much as he could with the tight corset.
"Oh no, that place is ridden with pest and stuff that is all fake." Mama scolded as she went outside the shop. Feliciano instantly shivered from the light snowflakes that was caught on the muff. "You know how Francis is, he tells you stuff that makes no sense. That boy just needs to settle down with an Omega, he's reaching the age of thirty." She rolled her eyes and Lovino only did it with her.
Feliciano let the desire go away as they reached public space. He slightly inclined his head and walked with a purpose. It was only Omega-like to do stuff like that. He liked listening to the town noises, it was just fascinating! Children laughing as they played in the snow, horse hooves clicking, and even the slight noise of bells, just for that Christmas feeling!
Another thing Feliciano loved was Christmas. It was so soon he could practically smell the pudding from the kitchen. He just loved being around family, cuddling with Lovino as they sipped on wine and chatted for hours. They exchange small inexpensive trinkets like letters written to each other, small pieces of jewelry, even sheet music for Feliciano who played mediocrely at the piano.
A close friend of the family always threw wonderful balls for the nobles of the town. Gilbert Beilschmidt was like a playmate to Feliciano, even more of a brother than Lovino, though Lovino was too much like Mama, they still loved each other dearly. Gilbert always had a huge Christmas tree in the middle of his ball room with candles and apples. Every year he would let Feliciano put the silk ribbon around it, knowing how much he adored ribbon.
Feliciano sometimes noticed that Gilbert would get sad during those times of the year. He would come over to the tree after they exchange cheers and put a new glass ornament on it. Feliciano went up one year and asked about the ornament and Gilbert simply said his little brother gave it to him. With a little more persuasion and some cake and tea Gilbert finally told Feliciano that his brother lived in Germany and didn't come home often, because of his job, though they are still tight like glue!
Lovino was just as excited, Feliciano could tell. Last year at the ball he spotted Lovino talking to a well built Alpha, introduced by Gilbert. The Alpha looked at Lovino like he was the only Omega in the room. They danced the evening away and even shared goodbye kisses, though Mama didn't know the last part. Lovino said his name was Antonio, a noble from Spain and a close friend of Gilbert. He didn't live in the area, but he would live here if it meant Lovino was here.
The Omegas finally made it outside of the crippling cold town and made their way to a house. It was a beautiful white home with big circular roof and it was well furnished. It was his family home, where he was raised and loved.
"Come on Lovino!" Feliciano cried slipping his hand from the muff to grab Lovino's upper arm as he rushed to the house's porch.
"This is improper!" Lovino shouted, but Feliciano could hear him laughing, especially Mama. Mama always liked to call Feliciano the entertainment of the family, the one who made everyday interesting. They hopped up the wooden steps and went through the white doors, almost toppling over Papa who caught Feliciano in his arms and Lovino stumbled back into Mama who caught him with a fond smile.
"My little bambino!" He said in his big booming voice as he set Feliciano down on his feet giving him a kiss on the forehead. Feliciano giggled like an idiot and Lovino crossed his arms and glanced away. "And my big strong Lovi." He pulled Lovino into a warm hug and kissed his forehead such as he did to Feliciano. Lovino hide his smile, but he secretly like the warmth of his father's embrace.
Papa was a big strong man with dark auburn hair and big, wide brown eyes that sparkled with amazement. He worked as an physician and even owned his own pharmacy in town. He made lots of money making the family live in luxury.
"Come Papa, me and Lovino want to show you our dresses we bought!" Feliciano pulled the larger man up the steps, but he stayed grounded to the floor with a mischievous smile. "Papa!" Feliciano cried and he laughed putting his arm around the Omega and they walked up the stairs. Lovino only laughed rolling his eyes, suggesting on not saying anything. They came to the upstairs floor with an open living room with a gramophone sitting on a table with some vinyls in perfect places on the book shelf. The white fainting couch and sofa sat around it, the space was used for entertainment, such as dancing and having tea time.
Feliciano went to a white door opening it up to a bright room that would only be expressed as his own. He had the largest window with a cushion on the wide windowsill that he liked to sit on and read books. A big double bed dressed in white linens was in the middle with white flowers laced through the railings on the bed's backboard. A tiny bedside table had a doily and his lamp. Off on the left wall was a gramophone with a big silver mouth and a white base and on the middle wall right across the bed was a white vanity that on the top was a silver brush with a hand mirror with a carved women's face out of ivory on the back. The drawers had beautiful jewelry that he wore regularly.
"Come Lovino!" Feliciano chimed as he opened up the only door in his room. Inside was a walk-in closet with dresses lining the walls with an upper shelve with bonnets and hats. A lone mirror sat in the middle of the room that Feliciano could look in forever.
Feliciano and Lovino changed rather quickly and stared at the mirror for the while. Lovino's dress looked so regal with it's slow neckline and dark green bell sleeves. The dress had little designs of white and green. Feliciano wore a pale dress that tighten around his shoulders with poncho-like fabric dangling from the top. The skirt was beautiful with big pink bows that draped white lace to the bottom and around.
Feliciano came out and spun around for Papa to see it. Lovino looked away with distaste. "Beautiful!" Papa yelled and touched both of his son's hands kissing them equally.
"You boys are such a catch. Only the best Alphas for my kind soul and blooming flower." He used those nicknames for the Omegas. Feliciano was the kind soul who gave coins to beggars and poor children the last of the bread. His smile could heal the blind and his laugh made birds sing. Lovino was the blooming flower, still hidden in his case, but was ready to burst into a beautiful rose. He shied away from crowds and it took a real gem to bring him to talk. Lovino tried to fit in, scolding his brother for bad behavior and for messing around, but deep down he was jealous of his brother will to do anything he wished.
"Thank you Papa! I hope to meet my future Alpha at the ball. We'll dance the night away!" Feliciano turned to Lovino and clasped his hand as they spun around. Papa clapped his hands and Mama laughed praising Lovino for his rushed foot work and how good Feliciano was at leading the dance.
"You boys should get ready for bed!" Papa chimed as the ruckus calmed down. Feliciano was bent over breathing heavily from all the fun he had done and Lovino was wiping away tears of joy as Mama fluttering around them fixing the dresses and looking for rips.
"Great idea Papa, I'm tuckered out." Feliciano stood up and smiled putting his hands on his hips and Lovino let out an airy laugh. "See you in the morning." He kissed each member on the cheek and lazily went into the dressing room. He stripped from the dress and his undergarments, placing the cage crinoline near the mirror. He put on a simple white sleeping gown with a lace shawl over his shoulder that he wore before bed. Slipping into slippers he went outside to the main room seeing that everyone left. He wished that his family could spend time together all the time, but they all had their busy schedules.
He huffed sitting down on the piano chair in front of his vanity as he took the brush off the table and stroked his auburn hair muttering vulgar words when he caught a knot that he must of missed in the morning. After that he set his brush down picking up the hand mirror and looked over his face and hair and set it down as well. He gazed at the line of perfumes and tin of powder he used rarely. He took a glass container with pink liquid in it and sprits it on his wrist smelling the rose scent. It was his good luck charm given to him by his cousin. Some of the Alphas he was acquaintance with said his scent was like a sweet rose and everywhere he went you could smell it down the street. Feliciano being the innocent soul would giggle and slap them slightly on the shoulder calling them vulgar or immature.
He got up from the bench and descended into bed leaving the slippers on the side and snuggled into the soft satin covers. He reached over shutting off the glass lamp and closed his eyes, his dreams filled with him dancing the night away with the Alpha of his dreams.
