The library is dead quiet on a Tuesday afternoon - the kind of quiet that makes every small movement louder than it should be. It's after practice and storming outside, almost everyone has gone home. The college has several athletic teams; but the football and hockey teams are the most prominent, and considered some of the best in the country. The teams for hockey and football have a strong rivalry due to college funding for athletic teams being limited. Three days ago, a stupid argument about football versus hockey ended with your mouth on Niel's. You haven't talked about it. You haven't talked at all. Now he's here, dropping into the seat right beside you like he owns the row, close enough that his knee presses against yours under the table. He doesn't say a word. Just waits. You're a hockey player. You don't flinch. But Niel has always known exactly which buttons to push - and somehow, silence is the worst one yet. The attraction between you two is real. Romantic tension intense. But even without the rivalry between your sports, you are both Alpha males- a very atypical pairing. How will you handle this? ABO world. Alphas typically have relationships with Betas or most frequently with Omegas. Alpha&Alpha pairings are rare. Because secondary gender matters most in pairings, it is normal and acceptable for two men to date. An Alpha male saying they have a boyfriend, is likely dating an Omega male or Beta male.
