Chapter 1: To Walk a Mile
In an alleyway, across the school building, a man was seen walking limply. His left foot seems alright but his right was not moving - he was dragging it. He was cradling his left hand and his face was covered in blood. The man was a mess.
A blond-haired man looked at the man with distaste. He hated that man so much. It's because of him that no one talk to him.
Feliciano Vargas, that pathetic excuse of an alpha, ruined his life.
The auburn-haired alpha was inches away from Arthur. He thought the man would just cross the street and get to his class. He did not expect that the alpha would strike up a conversation with him.
"It's a beautiful day today…"
Beautiful? Is he insane? And why the heck was he talking with him?
He tried to ignore the man but the man still continued his talk.
"…the sun's bright and the air feels nice…"
Feliciano closed his eyes and stood there for a minute. He looked like he was at peace for a moment. Then his face changed to a look of pain.
Then Arthur remembered his injuries.
"…this is nothing compared to what I have done…"
Arthur said nothing.
Did he know something about him?
He was about to ask Feliciano but was stopped when the alpha speak again.
"By the way, thank you… for listening to me," he smiled.
Arthur didn't know how to react. The man was badly bruised but still he could smile as if it were nothing… What's up with him?
The auburn-haired man was confusing him. The man was assaulted by a bunch of his kind but still think that the world is beautiful? He could not understand him at all.
If things like that were to happen to him, he would definitely hate his life and hate this world, which by the way, he's hating a lot.
So why?
Arthur looked at Feliciano. They were waiting for the traffic light to go red so they would cross the street and go into the school.
"..Oh, I'm going to be late…", Feliciano said. Then the man crossed.
The traffic light wasn't red yet.
A speeding truck suddenly appears on the road.
Why is this man so stupid?
He remembered the conversation he had with him. It might be a short one but he had to admit, the man had made an impact on him.
Darn it!
Arthur was the one who's stupid enough to save the guy he hated the most.
—-
Feliciano never noticed that there's a truck as his eyes were also badly injured. He never noticed the blond-haired man with thick-eyebrows was running towards him, trying to save him.
He just noticed his scent. Although Arthur looked strong and independent, the blonde have a scent that most alphas would die for.
If he were an omega, like Arthur, instead of an alpha… maybe, he would not have lied to everyone about it…
Maybe he would not lose his best friend.
If only he could go back in time…
He couldn't last much longer with his injuries. So he just let himself drift-off. He just wanted to sleep and have a happy dream…
…a dream of him becoming an omega.
That would be nice… Feliciano thought.
The blonde noticed the tears in Feliciano's eyes.
Then black.
Author's Note: Sorry if the characters are a bit OOC. I'll try and make them in character in the succeeding chapters.
Oh yeah, before I forgot, even if this is an Omegaverse AU, I won't be writing smut scenes because I'm not too comfortable of writing it (Actually, I don't have any experience writing those things. Sorry!). I just got interested in the concept and thought, why not try this AU without the smut?
