Summary
Harry’s been awake for a while now. Long enough to see dawn bleed across the night sky and over the stone floor of Niall’s chamber.
He’s tempting fate by staying any longer. Once, back when it wasn’t commonplace for Harry to find himself waking naked next to the Crown Prince, he slept until fingers of sunlight started to creep up the bedposts. By the time he had extricated himself from the sheets, thrown on the previous day’s uniform, and spent seven whole minutes locating his sword and scabbard, the entire room was bathed in daylight.
Benjamin had decided to make an example of his lateness. He’d been a few months short of twenty-one, had barely earned the mud on his boots, and he’d had his ass handed to him in front of the entirety of the King’s Guard. He still has a wicked scar along the fourth rib on his right side from the Commander’s silver-lined blade.
Now, at twenty-four—much more practiced with both time management and sparring—Harry presses his hand to his side. The old wound always smarts in the mornings.
A glance over his shoulder shows sunlight has only gotten as far as the Prince’s writing desk; he still has a few more minutes before he has to disappear.

Summary
Harry is tired.
Tired of waiting. Tired of endless applications. Tired of mountains of paperwork. Tired of background checks and home studies and meetings with social workers that leave his nails bitten to the quick.
Tired of young women who change their minds. Tired of couples who decide they want their baby raised by people more ‘normal,’ who only entertain them as an option to take advantage of their status. Tired of trips to the hospital that have them coming home empty-handed.
But most of all, Harry is tired of standing in the doorway of the second bedroom on the left. Tired of watching his husband of five years settle into a rocking chair in front of an empty cot. Tired of feeling like an utter failure for being unable to put a healthy, rosy-cheeked little one into his husband’s arms.
They’ve been at it for four years now, and Harry is just…tired.

Summary
Niall watches Harry pay the cabbie through the window and then he squints around as it drives off, looking lost. Niall steps forward, “Harry?”
Harry looks at him and then he’s walking over, stepping in, closer than Niall would’ve expected, but he doesn’t quite mind it. Harry looks better in person than he did online, in a way that makes Niall wish that this was more than just a one day thing. Harry looks like the kind of alpha that Niall would give in to, given the right circumstances.
Or the one where Niall needs an alpha urgently so he puts an ad up on Craigslist, crossing his fingers. Harry is one of the people who answers him. It's all, what Niall would like to call, just a big misunderstanding. Really.

Summary
It was something that Niall thought that he would never have to deal with, he had always been a Beta. Then six months into the hiatus he couldn't deny that he didn't feel right. Going to the doctor changed everything, now he was an Omega, with a mate that hated the social stigmas around Alpha and Omegas, and heat that was right around the corner. It really was something that he never thought that he was going to have to deal with, but now it was.

Summary
Niall stops him, because he can’t bear to hear Harry say all these things, kisses him instead swallowing his words into his mouth. His chest expanding at the rush of feelings, and he thinks, I want to love you too.
