Chapter 1: Run
You woke up with a start, the sound of your cell door opening with a loud creak. You looked up to see one of your captors standing at the door looking down at you. The scent of the large Alpha assaulted your nose making you want to vomit.
“Eat, you’ve got a long day ahead of you” he ordered dropping the plate of food by your feet.
You glance down at the plate of food. Seeing the pathetic excuse for food, something that just looked like mush. Even though it was the only food you’d get you weren’t racing to eat it.
“Eat it you worthless omega” The Alpha commands with a growl grabbing your head and forcing it down “Or do I have to teach you where you stand?”
You didn’t dare say anything, your body reacting to the alpha command, picking up the plate and forcing the food down trying your best not to gag. The alpha watching on with a disgusting smirk on his face. You’d been held captive long enough to know your place in the world. As an omega, you were nothing more than a piece of meat for Alpha to use however and whenever they please, you had to lose certain battles to avoid others.
“It’s sale day for you Omega so you’ll be out of here soon enough” he smirks before making his exit.
You knew your future was dire, you were to be sold to the highest bidder. Your only hope was that you were brought by someone nice, that or when they did eventually kill you it would be quick. It was better than starving to death. 
Once you had eaten you were dragged out of your cell. All the other Omegas were lined up and marched through the compound out to the courtyard. As you walked the other captors would laugh, purposefully tripping you up. Grabbing you as you passed, taunting you.
Once outside they ordered you to line up against the wall and strip down naked. A couple of omegas protested but were instantly whipped using the silver-tipped whip. They screamed out in pain, instantly submitting and removing their clothing. Soon you were all standing there naked, with the exception of the collars that stopped you from shifting. You could see the captors watching, a few of them whistling making your skin crawl.
They then turned on the high-powered hose and started spraying you all with freezing cold water. As much as you tried to avoid it they would always purposely aim the water at your face. Making you feel like you were drowning before giving you a short moment of respite. Just another level of torture they subjected you to.
Once they turned the hose off they handed out clean clothes. Which only consisted of shorts and a vest. They didn’t give you a towel you just had to remain damp until you slowly dried off. It wasn’t uncommon for people to fall ill and die from pneumonia here.
Once you were all dressed they attached silver handcuffs around your wrists. The pain from the metal stopping you in your tracks, the skin around your wrist already burnt and scarred. 
Once you were all bound you were attached to a chain and dragged out. The sounds of whines filled the corridor as the silver dug into everyone’s wrists. You were led out to a truck and shoved inside. Someone coming and securing you all in place, additional silver restraints being attached around your ankles. Ensuring none of you could escape during transport to the sales centre.
You weren’t sure how long you remained in the back of the truck. All the omega quietly talked with each other about their lives before this hell. Eventually, the truck stopped but it wasn’t the end of your journey. Instead, you were herded out of the truck and into a shipping container.
Once in the shipping container, they gave out bottles of water and stale bread which felt more like a brick. Once they were gone they shut the shipping container leaving all of you in complete darkness. 
Overall you had no clue how long you had been in this container. You had no way to tell the time, not that you did before when you were in your cell. Occasionally they’d bring more food or water but that was it. You guess though that you were in the shipping container for at least 3 days though.
Eventually, the door to the container opened and a blast of warm air entered the container. A direct contrast to the cold metal you’d grown accustomed to over the past few days.
As you stepped outside you savour the fresh air before you were taken into a rackety old truck. They chained you all up to the rotten wood. A thin layer of tarpaulin covers the roof and sides. You sat at the very back giving you the best view.
As the truck drove off you were able to look out. Dreaming of one day having the freedom to go wherever you pleased. Maybe the Alpha they sold you to would be kind enough to give you those freedoms. As the truck drove through the forest you imagined what it would be like to run through the trees. Darting in and around them, the wind whistling past your ears and through your fur.
Everyone bumped around as the truck travelled down the dirt road. At one point, however, you shifted just as the truck hit a large pothole causing you to be thrown hard enough for your retrains to break free of the rotten wood. Now completely free despite your hands and feet still being bound you got thrown out of the back of the truck.
As you roll along the dirt track you wait for the truck to stop but it doesn’t. You realise this was your chance to finally be free. You couldn’t stay here though. You quickly shuffled off of the road and into a bush to hide. 
You waited there in silence waiting for your absence to be noticed and your freedom to be taken once more. But that never happened. They never returned.
You sat up and looked down at the silver shackles around your ankles. You start working on getting yourself free wincing at the metal brushed across your skin. Finally, you got yourself free and tossed the shackles as far away as possible. You examine the burns on your ankles, they were bad but like the rest but they would just scar over eventually.
You had no hope of getting your handcuffs off alone, you needed help. You passed through a town not far back, maybe you could find another omega or a beta to help you. You also knew you needed at least a beta to remove this collar that would allow you to be truly free. 
Pushing yourself up onto your feet you steadied yourself against a nearby tree. Once you were certain your weakened ankles could hold your weight you started walking back towards the town. You made sure to stay hidden in the trees just in case you were spotted by the wrong people.
You walked for hours. Your body was so tired and weak. You clung to trees as you walked past, desperate to keep yourself up and moving. You couldn’t stop, not until you found somewhere safe. 
Eventually, the edge of town came into view. Leaving the forest you stumbled through the back alley behind some building. At one point you stumbled catching yourself on the side of a dumpster. 
Your legs felt like lead, it felt impossible to keep yourself up for a second longer. You slump against the dumpster hoping a moment of rest would help.
Suddenly a backdoor to one of the buildings opened. You froze in fear as the scent of an Alpha filled your nostrils. You turned to look and saw the large man walking out of the building trash bag in hand. He shouted something back to someone who was inside as he ran his hair through his long brown hair. 
You didn’t dare move as he approached the dumpster seemingly unaware of your presence. You barely breathed as he threw the trash bag into the dumpster and turned to head back towards the building.
You risk glancing over the side of the dumpster a move you instantly regret when you accidentally make a sound. You saw the alpha freeze before slowly turning to face you, his eyes widening in surprise when he spotted you. His nostrils flared as he scents you and you knew you were in danger. There was no way this Alpha would let you get away now that he knew you were an Omega.
So you ran, or at least you tried to. Your weak legs refused to cooperate, leaving you stumbling.
“Whoa wait!” The alpha shouts moving after you.
You desperately try and get away but you trip and fall. With your hand bound by handcuffs, you weren’t able to catch yourself. Hitting your head as you fell, you tried to move but your body refused exhaustion taking over. The last thing you saw was the Alpha crouching over you.
Tumblr media
Ari had woken up early that day, not that he’d slept well that night anyway. His mind running at a million miles per hour, running through all the things he could do and needed to do. He went on his usual morning run, hoping that would help but it didn’t. 
In the end, he just decided to go to work early. He drove from his cabin just outside of town parking up behind the bar. Letting himself into the bar he owned he made his way into the back office. 
Dropping his bag in the corner he first makes himself a pot of coffee before dropping down onto the small couch he had. He sighs running his hand through his hair. 
Once the coffee had brewed he pushed himself up from the couch. He poured himself a cup taking a large sip as he moved to sit at his desk. 
As he sat down at his desk his eyes fell on the picture on his desk. He smiled slightly as he remembered that day. It was the day his bar, The Red Sea, officially opened. He and his friend all stood outside smiling proudly.
When the bar first opened business had been booming. They almost had to herd people out when closing time rolled around. Presently the story couldn’t be any more different. Now they would shut up early to save money on utilities.
Ari knew he needed to do something but he had no clue what. If he didn’t find a solution too otherwise he’d have to consider selling up. And anyone who knew Ari knew that he wasn’t a quitter.
Sighing to himself he started going through the month's expenses. Doing all the paperwork that made his position even more painfully obvious. 
“Do you ever go home?” Rachel asked leaning against the door frame.
“No it saves money” Ari says not looking up from his work.
“What’s the verdict?” She asks walking in and perching on the edge of the desk.
“Not great we maybe have 6 months at most to turn this place around otherwise I’ll have to sell” Ari sighs shaking his head.
“It’ll work out, you always think of something,” Rachel says patting him on the shoulder as she stands up.
“The rest of the guys are coming up later so don’t hide away in here all day” she adds before leaving him in the office alone.
Ari nodded in agreement before turning back to his work. He ended up spending hours in there working away. Putting off going out to see just how empty the bar would be. He could hear his friends though all laughing and talking loudly.
Eventually, he had done all the work he could and decided to head out to his friends.
“Ah, there he is the slacker!!” Jake shouts once he spots Ari.
“I hope you all paid for those beers” Ari retorted looking at the three men.
“Hey, we’re your best customers!” Max complains.
“You’re my only customers” Ari sighed as he stood behind the bar.
“Don’t worry Rachel charged us” Sammy said pointing over to Rachel who rolled her eyes as she wiped the bar down.
“Good because otherwise there won’t be a bar to come hang out in,” Ari says.
“Stop being so melodramatic you’ve just hit a slump. Every business goes through it, it’ll pick up soon” Sammy tells him.
“Yeah I bet something is right around the corner” Max says.
“Right let's stop being all depressed, you owe me a game of pool” Jake says pointing at Ari.
“I do?” Ari asks not recalling promising him that, the last game they played Ari wiped the floor with him.
“Fine call it a rematch” Jake says shrugging his shoulders as he racks up.
Ari smirks as he walks over “Fine let’s make it interesting”
Jake raises a brow as he stands up “What are you thinking?” Jake asks.
“You win, I’ll buy you a drink for a week. I win, you take a garbage out” Ari smirks.
“Oh no not that dumpster, that thing fucking stinks!!” Jake complains.
“Fine we won’t play,” Ari says shrugging his shoulders and stepping away.
“Okay, okay fine, you can break” Jake relents holding out the pool cue.
Ari smiled taking the pool cue from Jake and lining up his first shot. The balls broke with a resounding crack and much to Ari’s joy and Jake’s annoyance, 2 striped balls rolled into the pockets.
“Fuck sake man” Jake complains shaking his head.
“Regretting that decision now?” Ari smirks.
The rest of the game was pretty close, with Jake managing to catch up when Ari missed a couple. Everyone else cheering on who they thought would win.
“Go on Jake!” Sammy shouted.
“Hey you’re supposed to be backing me up” Ari complained to his childhood best friend.
“Nope sorry I’m backing my fellow Beta today” Sammy says holding up his hands in surrender.
“Don’t worry Ari we’ve got you” Max says gesturing to Rachel.
“Oh, so it's alpha’s vs Beta’s then?” Jake asks.
“Seems that way” Ari laughs.
Eventually, the game got down to the final ball. Ari lined up his shot, it should have been easy. It should have gone in, but for whatever godforsaken reason it hit the side of the pocket and bounced out. Leaving it perfectly open for Jake to easily pot it, which he did.
“Yes!! Rachel grab me a beer and pass Ari the trash” Jake says smiling victoriously as he walks back towards the bar.
Ari groans in annoyance as Rachel passes him the trash bag. All of his friends laughed as he made his way to the back door.
“And no holding your breath that’s cheating” Sammy shouts after him.
“Shut up I’ll do as I like” Ari shouts back as he steps outside.
As he approaches the dumpster he holds his breath as he chucks the bag into it. As he turns around and starts walking away he hears shuffling. 
He turns around expecting to see a raccoon or something. He wasn’t expecting to see someone peeking out beside the dumpster. He sniffs slightly realising that it was an omega, one that looks completely petrified. He cautiously takes a step closer but you take off.
“Whoa wait!” He shouts moving after you.
He watches as you stumble and fall, it's only then that he notices the handcuffs around your wrists. He sees you try and push yourself up before completely slumping down in exhaustion.
“Hey it's okay, I’m not gonna hurt you” Ari says calmingly as he crouches down beside you.
You look up at him and he can see the fear in your eyes before they completely shut and you pass out.
“Shit” Ari mutter looking down at you “Sammy! Sam!” Ari then shouts “I need you out here” 
“I swear to god Levinson if you throw something gross at me” Sammy says stepping outside “Fuck what the hell happened!” Sammy says when he spots Ari crouching beside you.
“I don’t know, she was hiding behind the dumpster and then ran when she saw me but tripped and must have hit her head” Ari said looking over at all your injuries, spotting the burns on your ankles.
At this point, everyone else had made their way outside wondering what was going on.
“Whoa is she okay?” Jake asks nodding down to you.
“I dunno, we need to get her inside” Sammy says as he looks over you.
“What’s she got around her wrists?” Rachel asks.
“Handcuff by the looks of it” Max says, 
Ari decides to try and break them off but when his finger comes into contact with the metal he hisses in pain.
“Fuck that silver” he hisses shaking his hands.
“That must be what’s caused these burns” Sam says pointing to the burns on your ankles.
“Fuck. Who the hell would do this to someone” Rachel says shaking her head.
“Sick bastards” Ari growls ignoring the pain as he breaks off your handcuffs.
He then gently scoops you up in his arms to take you inside. He had no clue who you were or where you’d come from, but he was damn well sure he wasn’t gonna let anything happen to you now.

Chapter 2: I Know Places
Your entire body felt like it was made of lead. Everything ached and your head was pounding. As you slowly woke up you could hear hushed whispers, you sighed trying to fall back asleep. It was only when you took a deep breath that the smell of an Alpha and Beta filled your nostrils.
Your memory flooded back to you. How you escaped from your captors. Made your way into town only to be found by another Alpha. Your rush to run away, your body not cooperating leaving you powerless.
You woke with a start your eyes instantly finding the Alpha from before stood beside another man who must have been the Beta you smelt, on the other side of the small room. They both jumped once they saw that you were awake and made their way over.
“Hey, hey it's okay you’re safe we’re not gonna hurt you” the Alpha says bending down beside you.
You pushed yourself away as much as you could on the small couch. You didn’t trust him, every Alpha you’d ever met treated you like a piece of meat. How could this one be any different?
“My name is Ari, and this is my friend Sammy, he’s a doctor,” Ari says gesturing to his friend.
“I’ve treated the burns on your wrists and ankles, but I would like to take you to my clinic to check you out further” Sammy says making you look down and notice your wrists and ankles had been bandaged up.
“No,” you say your voice wavering, you didn’t trust these people, what if it was all an elaborate ruse to capture you?
“Please, you’ve clearly been through something horrible and we want to help, you can trust us I promise,” Ari says gently.
You lock your eyes on him, you could feel your body relaxing. Unlike any other Alpha you’d encounter he didn’t make your blood run cold in fear. Your inner wolf was screaming at you to trust him but you couldn’t give in. You needed a chance to escape if you needed it, if this Alpha truly wanted to help you he wouldn’t need anything to keep you captive. 
“Take the collar off,” you tell him.
“What?” He asks confused.
“The collar, it can only be taken off by an alpha or beta, it stops me from shifting, take it off and maybe I’ll trust you” you explain.
“Only if you let us treat you properly, we don’t have to go to the clinic if you don’t want but somewhere cleaner than here” Sammy bargains.
“Hey this place is clean” Ari huffs glaring up at his friend.
You couldn’t help but chuckle weakly at the exchange between the two friends. Ari looked back over at you with a warm lopsided smile that had your heart stuttering.
“Okay, deal” you agree nodding your head.
Ari smiles at you before carefully moving to remove the collar from your neck. With the shortening distance, you could smell his scent better. The scent of pine and grass fills your nostrils making you instantly relax. You mentally kicked yourself though, you had to keep your guard up. Once the collar was removed Ari threw it in the trash with disgust.
“Can I ask what your name is?” Sammy asks you gently.
You glance between the two men “Y/N” you tell them
“Okay Y/N, now are you comfortable coming to the clinic or would you prefer somewhere else?” Sammy asks you.
“Clinic will be fine” you say nodding your head gently.
“Great, now just to forewarn you, the rest of our friends are outside” Ari says as he helps you up from the couch.
“They’re friendly like us, you don’t need to worry about them” Sammy adds.
You nod your head allowing them to lead you out of the office. As you stepped out into the bar the scent of two more alphas and a beta hit you all at once. All of them turn to look at you. 
You instinctively cower back, shoulders hunching in trying to make yourself look as small as possible. Looking down at the floor unable to meet their intense gazes.
“Hey it’s okay, they aren’t gonna hurt you” Ari says to you gently as he rubs your back soothingly. 
You look up at him, his bright blue eyes looking down at you reassuringly. Without realising you find yourself nodding, shifting to lean on him more. You glance away briefly before looking back up at him catching him sending a hard look towards his friends who then instantly advert their gazes. Despite the fact, two of them were fellow alphas.
Ari and Sam help you out of the bar and into Ari’s pickup truck. As he drove you to Sam’s clinic Ari kept glancing over at you. He could see that despite his constant reassurance you still looked incredibly nervous. He couldn’t blame you though, it didn’t take a genius to see you had been through something horrific.
When you arrived at the clinic Ari and Sammy led you inside and straight into an examination room. They helped you up onto the bed before Sam went to grab his kit while Ari sat down on the chair in the corner of the room not wanting to crowd you.
“Let me know if anything hurts okay” Sammy tells you as he starts checking you over.
Ari sighs as he watches, his hand running over his beard in thought. His eyes travelled over your body now noticing how many cuts and bruises covered your body. The next thing he noticed was that your bond mark was untouched. You weren’t running from an abusive mate. Leaving him even more curious and concerned as to what had happened to you.
“Are there any injuries under your clothes?” Sammy asks you.
“Nothing fresh, I um did fall from a truck though” you admit making Ari and Sam exchange a concerned glance.
“Okay well you may have broken some ribs, I will have to touch your chest to check or we can send you for an X-ray,” Sammy says giving you the choice.
“X-ray please,” you say meekly.
“Of course, Ari can you help move Y/N to the X-ray room,”  Sammy asks and Ari jumps straight up to help you down from the examination bed.
They take you down the corridor to the X-ray room. Helping you back onto the bed and helping you lie back down. 
“Okay, so all that’s gonna happen is we’re gonna step out of the room for a couple minutes while the machine takes the X-ray” Sammy explains as he sets up the machine.
You nod your head in understanding before glancing over at Ari who gave you a reassuring smile.
“We’ll be straight back don’t worry” Ari reassures you.
He gives you one more reassuring smile before stepping outside. You take a deep breath calming yourself. The nerves were creeping in now that you were completely alone. Even if you knew it was only for a moment. You scolded yourself, you couldn’t give in to your biology so easily. You barely knew these people you couldn’t really trust them. Could you?
When you saw Ari step back inside you let out a deep sigh of relief. He helped you sit back up and slide off of the bed.
“Okay?” He asks you gently.
“Yeah,” you say your voice still shaking.
They take you back down the corridor back to the examination room. This time however instead of sitting in the chair in the corner Ari perched against of the end of the bed.
“Okay so you’ve only got a small stress fracture in your rib, that should heal nice and quickly with rest. My main concern is your burns and the fact you’re severely malnourished” Sammy tells you.
“What can you do for her?” Ari asks.
“I can give you a cream for the burns and you’ll have to change the bandages regularly. I also can give you some vitamin and mineral tablets to help with the malnutrition, I can also suggest a diet too” Sammy explains.
“Will I be able to shift?” You ask hopefully.
“In theory, there’s nothing stopping you, but I wouldn’t suggest it not until you’re more healed. The main thing you need is rest, and somewhere safe to recover” Sammy says glancing over at Ari.
“You can stay with me if you’re okay with that” Ari offers.
“Oh um,” you say uncertainly.
“Look you have every right to be hesitant after what you’ve been through but you couldn’t find a better or safer place in my opinion” Sammy says.
“It's a nice cabin just outside of town away from everyone, I’ve got a spare room you can stay in, it’s safe I promise, I’m not gonna let anything happen to you I promise, nobody can hurt you now” Ari tells you gently, putting a hand on your shoulder.
You feel your inner wolf pushing you to accept his offer. As you looked between the men you could see how sincere they were being. They were really trying to help you. You had trusted them so far maybe you could trust them some more.
“Okay,” you agree quietly.
“Great we’ll get you everything you need and take you straight up there to settle in” Ari smiles.
Tumblr media
Ari watched as you looked around his cabin taking it all in. It wasn’t grand by any means, but he liked it and he hoped you did too. The majority of the ground floor was open-planned, the kitchen diner flowing straight into the large spacious living room. Upstairs was where his bedroom, the guest bedroom and the third room he used as an office was. 
When he led you upstairs he was relieved to find a bag of spare clothes waiting in the guest room. While you were all at the clinic he had asked Rachel to find you some spare clothes. Grateful that she’d brought them straight here so you could change out of the thin and tattered vest and shorts you wore. He’d given you the red plaid shirt to wear in the meantime to cover up and keep you warm. The same shirt you were now picking at the sleeves.
“You can do whatever you want in here to make yourself more comfortable, just let me know if you need anything” Ari says as you look around the room.
“Thank you, for everything,” you say fiddling with your fingers.
“It’s nothing, the bathroom is just down the hall if you want to freshen up” Ari says pointing down the hall.
You give him a small smile nodding in thanks.
“I’ll leave you to settle in, I’ll be downstairs if you need anything” Ari tells you before heading off down the stairs.
You waited listening to the sound of the stairs creaking as Ari walked down them. Once the creaking stopped you walked over to the bed sitting down and running your hands over the soft duvet. You let out a content sigh as you sank down into the bed. You couldn’t remember the last time you’d felt something so comfortable. 
You felt a wave of emotion build up and you had to take a deep breath to stop yourself from crying. You couldn’t dare show any more weakness. You couldn’t be taken advantage of again. While Ari had been kind to you so far, he was still an Alpha and you were still an Omega. You could never be completely safe. Pushing up from the bed you made your way out of the room and down the hall to the bathroom. 
Once inside the bathroom, you notice the lock on the door and quickly turn it. You turn round to face the shower reaching inside to turn it on. When you feel the warm water you instantly pull off your ratty clothes and jump inside. 
As the water fell over your body you felt your muscle relax. All you wanted to do was stand there and enjoy the warmth. Eventually, you grabbed the shampoo that was on the side and started washing your hair. You then started washing your body watching as all the grime and dirt that was seemingly ingrained in your skin washed away down the drain.
When you stepped out of the shower you wrapped yourself up in a warm and fuzzy towel. You threw your old vest and shorts in the trashcan not wanting any more physical reminders of that prison. You grabbed Ari’s shirt intending to give it back to him. As you stood back up you caught sight of yourself in the mirror and let out a small gasp.
You hadn’t seen your reflection in years. To the point you barely recognised the person staring back at you. As you stared at yourself you realised how terrible and weak you looked. You had to force yourself to look away before you were physically sick. 
You hurry back to the guest bedroom closing the door behind you quickly. You start looking through the bags of clothes that had been lent to you. Relieved to find some comfy trousers and a hoodie.
As you slip off the clothes you can smell the distinct scent of Rachel, the Alpha you’d briefly met at the bar. The scent of fresh sea air fills your nostrils. It was a nice scent but you did prefer Ari’s.
Once you were dressed you started making your way down the stairs. Finding Ari in the kitchen making some food. 
Ari glanced over him when he sensed you walking in, the scent of honeysuckle filling the room. He smiled warmly when he saw you now dressed and cleaned up. You looked so much better than how he found you in the alley.
“I thought you might be hungry so I made you something to eat” Ari says putting a sandwich on a plate and putting it on the table.
“Thank you,” you say with a small smile shuffling over to sit at the table.
As you took your first bite you couldn’t believe how delicious it was. The softness of the bread and the filling melting on your tongue. You couldn’t help but let out a small moan of content.
“Tasty?” Ari asks with a playful smirk.
“It's the nicest thing I’ve eaten in years” you admit.
“What did they feed you?” He asks.
“Oatmeal I think, it was just kinda mush, sometimes we’d get stale bread,” you tell him as you continue to eat.
“I’m sorry” Ari sighs his brows furrowing “I’m not the best cook but I’ll try my hardest”
You smile at the offer “I know a bit from before um you know, so I’m sure we’ll handle” you tell him.
“I hope you don’t mind me asking but how long were you there for?” Ari asks cautiously “You don’t have to answer if you’re not comfortable” he adds quickly.
“I don’t know, what year is it?” You ask.
“2023” Ari Answers
“Um, that would be uh 15 years then” you answer clearing your throat and looking down.
“God I’m so sorry” Ari sighs shaking “but you’re safe now, you’re never gonna have to go through that ever again” 
You glance back up at him and see in his eyes how sincere he was. A small reassuring smile played on his lips.
“Thank you” you smile.
“And you can stay here as long as you need or want, there is absolutely no rush, I want you to make this place your home, your safe place, anything you need or want we’ll get it” 
“Thank you, you’re being so kind to me” you say looking down at your lap.
“You don’t need to keep thanking me, and I know your experience probably tells you otherwise but not all Alphas are dicks” Ari smiles making you chuckle quietly.
You smile over at him, you really want to thank him again despite him telling you not to. But maybe he was right, maybe there were nice Alphas out there.

House Hunting Part 1
@lafayettewrites
"I have a surprise for you."
She looked over to him, thinking that he'd already surprised her by showing up on her parents' doorstep and requesting to take her to lunch. Lucas had never struck her as a lunch date type, so already she was a bit off guard. "Oh?"
"I hope you're not too hungry," he said as they approached the Crystal Ball, the nearest floo transport hidden in the basement of a Tarot/Divination shop that muggles only occasionally frequented. "Because we're not actually going to lunch."
She was a little nervous, but she couldn't help the bemused smile that lifted the edges of her lips. "Dare I ask where we are going?"
"Do you mind surprises?"
Yes. Very much. Especially when accompanied by a boy she didn't trust and only half liked, especially when her parents would have no idea where she'd gone or where to find her, especially when she likely wouldn't know where she was or how to get back home.
But none of those were really acceptable answers, so she forced herself to keep the easy smile and shook her head. "Not at all."
"Good." He looked almost excited, and she wasn't sure what to read into that. Excitement could be applied to too many things; a show, a flight, a party... as well as less nice things such as pranks or attempts to move their courting a bit faster than it was going.
She wished Ben were here. He she mostly trusted; trusted him enough to reason that she wouldn't find herself in an uncomfortable or dangerous predicament with him around.
But there was no Ben, only Lucas who, granted, had yet to give her reason to distrust him specifically, but also hadn't given her any reason to trust him either. He remained entirely unknown to her, and that scared her more than if she knew she should distrust him.
They went through the floo together, and she tried to place the name of the town he said. Something about it sounded familiar. Perhaps they'd looked at a house there, though she had only gone along about half the time, so perhaps it was unlikely she'd recognize the name. They rented brooms and she followed him around the outskirt of the decently sized town until
"Oh!" She squeaked in surprise as the impressive but dilapidated house came into view. They landed at the gate, and she looked up at him with the wider smile she usually reserved for his brother. "The parents said no to this one, though..."
He shrugged. "Our parents won't be living here; we will."
She blushed, glancing back at the ground shyly for a moment before hiding her appreciative look in the house in front of them as the bustling little real estate agent came trotting down the broken stone path from the house to the gate. "Hello hello again! Young Mr. Rosier I have to say I was surprised to get your call to come back, but it's so lovely to see you again, Ms. London hello again as well, lovely to see you out." She waved her wand and the gates opened, and she waved her hands at the couple. "Come in come in, but don't take your coats off it's rather cold inside, too vacant for too long but there's so much potential everywhere you look and such a steal for the size of the house and the property!"
She'd forgotten how adorably annoying the realtor was with her endless commentary and endless perkiness, but at least she saw what Circe saw in the house... or at least pretended to.
"Now, as I was saying when we were here with your parents, it has four bedrooms, two reception areas and space galore. The downside of course, as we said is the sheer amount of work that will be needed, but the price of course reflects that." She babbled, trotting toward the kitchen and leaving Circe and Lucas in her wake. Lucas glanced in the direction the realtor went and looked back at Circe and nodded toward another direction, toward one of the living rooms that had doors to go outside to the gardens Circe had adored the first time she'd seen it. "C'mon, we might get a few seconds of privacy before she finds us again."
She followed after him a little quicker than she had agreed to this surprise, falling into step with him as they drifted away from the foyer, and into the living area, and she worked to not wander away from him to go to the windows, but he nudged her and smiled, and she took the allowance and went to gaze out at the wild, overgrown garden- loosely using the term- outside.
"So?"
She turned back around to him, and he was watching her expectantly. "Yes?"
"You still like it?"
"I do." She couldn't help the sudden grin, but quickly toned it down and dropped her eyes for a moment. "But it's so much work, I would think something more suited to... habitable, would be better for us."
He chuckled, crossing the distance between them. "Well, that was a nice opinion Mr. London, but I'm actually curious what Circe has to say about the matter."
She giggled softly, unable to deny the opinion was, in fact, her father's words, even if much more nicely worded. "Sorry."
"I might forgive you," she looked up in surprise and a little worry, "-if you tell me what you think of us living here." He was still smiling, a little smirkishly, and she tried to relax. But he was pretty close to her, and she was worried about saying the wrong thing, worried about this being a trick question, worried about the realtor coming in on them, worried what her father would say, what his parents would say.
"I think I would quite enjoy living here."
"Good. So do I."
"Our parents will never allow it."
"Mine will be apprehensive, but they'll let us do what we think will make us happy. As for yours, it's your... do they still call it a dowry anymore?" He asked, and she shrugged with a giggle.
"Inheritance?"
"That sounds better. It's your inheritance, you can do with it what you want once we're married."
"What we want." What he wanted, was more so what she meant, but Ben had taught her those comments didn't sit well with the Rosiers, who's parents valued equality more so than her own.
That earned her a genuine smile. "Exactly. And I like it." He gave her another expectant look, and she obliged.
"So do I."
"Then it's settled." She knew this was the part where she should show her appreciation, and as nervous as she was around him, she was thrilled that he was so steadfastly determined to let her have this place, to make the place she fell in love with something of theirs. So she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "Thank you, Lucas."
He hugged her back, lifting her just the slightest off the ground, nothing like Ben's usual exuberance that took her feet off the ground and spun her around. He set her back down and she realized they were very close, only made more obvious by his next, quiet words. "Am I allowed to kiss you in our new house?" She didn't entirely trust her voice, so she simply nodded, and tried not to duck her head shyly as he lowered his lips to hers.
She was surprised how gentle he was with her, almost as though he knew he could scare her off too easily, surprised at the sharp little spark that jolted through her system, surprised that she couldn't remember when his hand came up to cup her jaw, hidden under her hair that she hadn't had time to pin up. Most of all she was surprised by how easily he pulled back and how quickly she rose up on her tiptoes to follow that kiss with another.
"Ah-hem." They broke apart, her face flooding red, to see the realtor standing in the doorway, gazing adoringly at them. "Aren't you two just adorable." She said as Circe half hid her face in Lucas' side, and he chuckled abashedly, putting an arm around Circe to let her hide a little more.
"Sorry about that."
"I take it you like it then?"
"We'll take it."
