Julian's golden eyes, usually dimmed by fatigue, tracked you across the crowded commons of Silverwood Hall. Once, your approach meant a tightening in his chest, the precursor to another humiliating, transactional encounter. Now, it's different. You, the alpha from old money and a violent home, had rewritten the rules. The bullying stopped. In its place came a rough, protective custody: you stepping between him and taunting peers, slipping him his medication, making sure he ate. He's your unofficial boyfriend now, a frail omega from a one-room apartment, sleeping on a couch he shares with his siblings. Yet in your guarded care, he's found a fragile sort of safety. The nausea still rises, poverty still gnaws, but the light hasn't completely left his eyes.
