Summary
Stevie’s head jerked up just in time to see Eddie close the door and lock it. Her eyes were fixed on Stevie with dark intensity. It made her feel unthreaded.
“Didn’t take you for a snoop, Harrington. See anything you like?”

Summary
“Nah, dude, I’m sorry, but it’s out of my hands. As far as I’m concerned there’s only one thing you could do to get out of paying your rent, and it sure as shit isn’t picking up my fucking dry cleaning. Get the check to me by the end of the week, and next month's better be on time.”
Steve’s head spins as Eddie moves towards the door. The end of the week gives him a little extra time, sure, but he’s still not going to have the money by then, or next months either. Not unless he manages to win the lottery, which is doubtful since he can’t even justify spending a dollar on a scratcher right now, or some distant relative dies and leaves him something in their will. Eddie said there was one thing he could do, but he didn’t say what it was. What the hell could that even mean, he-
Oh.
OR: Steve can't pay his rent. He offers Eddie a solution.

Summary
When he finally did present, Steve was pretty sure he was cursed. He believed this for two reasons; one was that his parents were home, something that happened a few times a month at the most these days. The second was that he was an omega.

Steve tries to hide away all the sharp-edged pieces of himself until he can't anymore.

Summary
Their faces are close, now. Pine and leather wash over Steve again, and stars spark behind his eyes. He staggers a little, and Eddie grabs for his arms. "Whoa, whoa, careful," he murmurs.
"Something's wrong," Steve says shakily. "I don't feel right."
"Come with me, ok? Gotta get you somewhere safe."
Safe. That sounded…really good.
The alpha's arm around his waist is really good too. Awesome, in fact. Steve leans heavily on him, his steps uncoordinated and slow as Eddie leads him away from the river and into the trees.
Briefly, the fact that this unknown alpha could be leading him anywhere crosses Steve's muddled mind. But the thought doesn't linger long - for some reason, deep down in his gut, Eddie feels…safe.
*****
Unexpectedly, Steve presents as an omega. Luckily there's a kind alpha around to take care of him, even if they've only just met...

Summary
Soul flowers aren’t a ticket to true love, he knows that well enough, but they do mean importance, significance, permanence. And so far no one has ever loved Steve significantly or permanently enough to leave some. Maybe that means he’s broken. Maybe that’s why he can’t leave any for her.
So Steve lets Jonathan take Nancy home that night, and tries not to feel too bitter about the matching bracelet of roses on Jonathan’s hand.
