Harry had a terrible day. Nothing went as planned. She was terribly late for her class. The professor didn’t let her in and she felt humiliated in front of the whole class.
She then went to grab a cup of coffee but the barista got her order wrong and she had to drink coffee that was too sweet it tasted like honey. Sugar was not good for an emotionally unstable Harry. It sent her emotions on a roller coaster and she desperately wanted to cry.
As if her day wasn’t shitty enough, she ran into her ex on the way back home. She was walking obliviously thinking about getting back home to her girlfriend. She would get to scent Louis and let Louis scent her back to wash away all the foreign scents.
Fate wasn’t on Harry’s side though, she looked up and was met with the sight of her ex-girlfriend with her group of pretentious girls. Harry got the dirtiest side looks and could tell they were talking bout her. Those witches never liked her. The feeling was mutual.
When she was taking the bus home, all she could think about is getting into her nest and cuddling with her omega. If only the bus would go faster.
The problem was, it wasn’t just a bad day. It was a bad week, or month to be more specific. Maybe it’s her hormones messing with her head, or maybe it’s her depression making an appearance with a new episode. The Point is, Harry wanted to crawl into her nest and cry herself to sleep.
Ten minutes later she was finally home. Once she opened the door to their apartment, the sweet scent of Louis enveloped her like a hug. Harry resisted the urge to purr loudly.
God. she’s so stressed.
Louis’ voice came from the kitchen, “Honey, are you home?”
“Yes, Lou. I’m here.”
Harry could now distinguish the delicious smell of lasagna. She followed the perfect smell until it led her to her beautiful omega.
“Lasagna?”
“Umhmm. Your favorite.”
Louis was cleaning after cooking. Harry stood behind her and snaked her arms around her omega’s waist.
“God. you’re the best.”
“I know. Where would you find an omega like me?”
“Never.”
“Go change before the lasagna gets cold.”
“Kissy?”
Louis chuckled and tilted her head back, brushing her lips against Harry’s tenderly. Harry sighed into the kiss. It was like a promise of a cuddly night. Louis could definitely sense Harry’s stress because she started releasing calming pheromones.
“Relax, omega. Now go change fast!”
A couple of minutes later, they were both sitting at the kitchen table eating lasagna and talking about their days. Louis had had a perfectly calm day. She came home early and decided to make lasagna to surprise Harry.
Harry, on the other hand, had had the worst day ever. She didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere by whining about her shitty ex-girlfriend or fucked up hormones.
Louis could see right through her.
“Spill it, Omega. I can smell it on you.”
“It’s nothing.”
“Baby, don’t lie to me.”
“I don’t wanna ruin your mood.”
“You won’t, love.”
“Can we talk about it later? In our nest?”
Harry’s cheeks went rosy on adding the last bit. Louis loved when Harry got all shy talking about their nest. She would get all flustered and her cheeks would be dusted with the most gorgeous blush.
“Of course, honey. Why don’t you brush your teeth while I do the dishes and make us the loveliest nest?”
Harry nodded with a soft smile.
She got up and went to finish her night routine. It was still 6 pm but on days like this, Harry preferred to go to bed early. In hopes of making the day end quickly. Having Louis cuddle her into their nest was an added bonus that she could never turn down.
When she finished brushing her teeth and changed into clean pajamas, she went into their bedroom to find Louis neatly folding clothes and organizing pillows in their closet. That was Harry’s favorite place to build the nest. It felt so secure and detached from the real world. It was like stepping into heaven with her omega where nobody could find them.
Harry enjoyed watching her omega put their nest together with so much care and tenderness. Louis always made the best nests. She knew exactly where to put everything to make it feel like home. The nests she built were always filled with soft fabrics and their mingled scents.
Once she finished, Louis crawled into the nest and started rolling around the sheets, scenting the space, making sure it felt safe enough for Harry to enter. She then looked at Harry with the softest smile and whispered, “Come in, Omega.”
Harry almost fell on her face in her rush to crawl beside her girlfriend.
Louis chuckled fondly, “Easy, love.”
She laid down and opened her arms for Harry to crawl into. Harry obliged happily.
Louis wrapped them tightly with a heavily scented blanket. They lay down facing each other. Louis had her arms around Harry’s waist.
“Feeling better, love?”
“Scent me, please.”
So Louis did. She started releasing pheromones to fill in the confined space with her scent. To completely wrap Harry in her love. Harry scented Louis back in gratitude. A sign that the stress was finally leaving her body.
“Lou, am I a bad person?”
“Of course not. Why would you think that?”
“I don’t know. I just feel like everything happens for a reason, right? So maybe all these things that keep happening to me are what I deserve.”
“Harry, we all have bad days, baby. It doesn’t have to determine our worth. Do you remember last week when I forgot to take my umbrella and I got soaked in the rain?”
“Yeah. I was so worried you would catch a cold.”
“And did you think I am a bad person and that I deserve to be soaked in pissing rain?”
“No. Never.”
“Then why would you believe that about yourself, love?”
“I don’t know. Logically, I see what you mean and I understand it to a degree. But for some reason, my mind insists that I deserve every bit of what’s coming my way. It’s like there’s a price I have to pay for being a bad person.”
“Darling, you're a wonderful person. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. You would know why I love you so so much. That you’re the most wonderful and kind omega ever. You’re attentive and caring. You treat me very well. You go above and beyond for your family and friends. Anybody would be so lucky to have you in their life, baby.”
Harry felt the tears welling up in her eyes before they started assaulting her cheeks and lips with a salty taste. Louis looked taken aback but she caught herself quickly. She started wiping Harry’s tears away gently. She then cradled her omega’s face and started licking her cheeks with kitten licks. She kept alternating between laying gentle kisses and licking all over her omega’s face.
Harry tilted her head back, giving Louis space to lick her neck and kiss it lovingly.
“I love you so much. You know that, right?”
Harry sniffled and nodded.
“So so much I can’t even put it into words.”
“Love you too.”
“I know, my darling. I know.”
“Lou, more.”
“Alright, my love.”
Louis knew that Harry got all cuddly and clingy when her insecurities clouded her vision, made her believe she was worthless and that she’d be abandoned once more. She would always want Louis to drown her completely in her love.
Louis tugged on Harry’s blouse to get it off, Harry loved skin-to-skin contact. Louis knew that Harry needed extra attention today.
When she started licking and scenting the rest of Harry’s body, Harry let out a content sigh.
Louis got to her tummy and started lying tender kisses, she could feel Harry purring under her lips. Louis melted at the sight of her omega completely soaking in her love and attention.
“Most beautiful person ever.”
Harry’s purrs got louder. Louis smiled against her tummy and kept kissing her way up Harry’s body. Harry wrapped her legs around Louis and tilted her head up for a kiss. Louis could never deny her.
Harry fell asleep with Louis’ body covering hers, wrapped up in her omega’s scent, finally feeling at home in her lover’s arms.
