Chapter Text
(Name) Stared out into the lining of trees quietly while fidgeting with his collar, the reds and oranges blurring together with the blacks and Grey's of the sky, captivating him momentarily while he tuned out his family's arguing on Wednesday's actions, the younger twin though not partaking in the act was forced to attend their parents former high school with the black haired girl.
Which was something he wasn't pleased about, the constant change giving him a headache and he was sure this was no different but... Twins stuck together and he has his sister's back as she had his because at the end of the day, they were each other's closest Ally.
"Now, don't pout (name)" Morticia's voice cut (name) from his thoughts and he stared at her distantly with a head tilt "there's plenty of omegas at Nevermore for you to befriend!" Gomez said, patting his son's leg and the Omega stared at his alpha parents unamused before turning back to the window: four, there were four omegas at Nevermore.
They tried to speak to Wednesday but the black haired girl looked to her brother "(name), explain to our parents why I refuse to speak to them" she said coldly and (name) looked to his parents and Gomez sighed "you two are gonna be unstoppable there and I promise you're gonna love this school like we did!" Wednesday didn't comment but saw how (name) fidgeted, he never did well with new places and she hated that their parents forced him to switch schools with her constantly.
She didn't like that he got dragged into this but it would be good to have an accomplice if need be.
(Name) Spaced out for the rest of the car ride, trying to block out their parents' disgusting acts of affection and pitied poor Pugsley...
He wasn't going to survive them without the twins.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at nevermore, the large castle-like structure towering over them and (name) noted how similar it was to their own home in some ways, though this school has many more plants... And grass.
And no cemetery, such was disappointment.
He stepped out of the limo, his polished dress shoes scratching the grit of the cobbled path and he fixed his knit sweater and stared up at the Grand building with a sense of anxiety and dread.
What would this school give him?
He hoped for less strife but beggars couldn't be choosers one supposed.
The family entered the school and (name) took a breath and noted how the school smelt like old wood and floor polish that was a little overwhelming he wouldn't deny, headache inducing while a woman coughed to garner their attention.
At the top of the stairs stood a blond woman and (name) looked to his family confused and noted how his mother stood more straight and made herself seem more imposing to the blond woman and (name) just stood politely before getting distracted at a particularly well detailed painting, before Wednesday dragged him to follow the rest of the family to god knows where.
-
Oh when did he get to the office? (Name) Looked around the room and admired the decor and looked at the small statue on the table and decided he would take it, yes... That would be his.
Gomez Pat his son's leg and he was forced to listen to the Alpha woman who he just learned was named Larissa Weems, how peculiar "we have a low level of omega students but fret not as we have taken every precaution for their safety" Weems spoke seriously and (name) tilted his head with a distant stare into her soul and silently told her to elaborate "how do you intend to keep my son safe?" Morticia asked seriously and Larissa stared at her pointedly before speaking "we have taken every precaution from scent blocking the doors and windows, special finger print locks and heat rooms"
That was actually quite nice.
His mother seemed pleased with this and (name) had his own question "how will this academy accommodate my monthly heats?" He spoke seriously with a raised eyebrow and Weems seemed prepared as she spoke "your parents provided us with your medical records to accommodate that and add it to your schedule with accommodations if it arrives early or late" she seemed pleased and (name) fidgeted with his finger nails at the fact a stranger knew his medical records like that.
But the accommodations were acceptable, he supposed.
"Now, how about we show you the dorms?" Weems said with a pinched smile and (name) was ready to be finished with this, he would rather tinker with his projects "and I took the liberty of assigning you two to your parents to the halls they once roamed, Wednesday you will be staying in Ophelia Hall and (name) though your dorm is seperate, you will be apart of Thisbie hall" the parents seemed absolutely thrilled at this and the twins glanced at each other, Wednesday already formulating a plan of escape and (name) was wondering if he could get a Gorgon to stone him.
The group stepped out of the office and they all gathered to the Omega wing and Morticia admired the beautiful architecture and (name) admired the spiders web above his dorm and made a mental note to not disrupt it, his door and old mahogany with ornate carvings on it and (name) wondered what the texture would feel like under his hand.
When Weems opened the door, he noted that it wasn't the most spacious but it did have room, a heat den in the corner and a separate closet and a double bed in the corner and ornate windows.
"Oh this is perfect for you, my little spider web!" Gomez said looking around the space and (name) noted his belongings in the corner and accepted that this was his fate was here till school finished.
Wednesday checked the locks and for any secret entrances while (name) looked out the window to the woods and he swore for a second... He saw something out there.
Strange.
It took Weems a moment to garner the twins' attention with a smile and Wednesday seemed annoyed by her existence and (name) wanted to see what that creature was but... He supposed he would have to wait.
"Now, how about we see Ophelia Hall?" Weems said and the family silently agreed and followed her, (name) growing a bit uncomfortable with the students looking at him curiously and Mortica placed a hand on his shoulder, causing (name) to look at his shoulder and then at her with a slight look of confusion as his mother was never the touchiest so it was a surprise to have her offer physical comfort.
Strange.
When they got to Wednesday's dorm there was only one way to describe the left half of the space and that would be... Bright.
"This is where you will be staying and this is your roommate, Enid Sinclair" Weems introduced the blond girl who went to hug Wednesday and Wednesday stepped back and their mother explained to the Alpha girl about Wednesday's allergy and the girl looked horrified at Wednesdays... Detailed description.
And (name) had to hold back a giggle.
His sister was always the descriptive one.
"Enid, why don't you show these two around campus? And maybe show them where to get their uniforms and schedule?" Weems offered and Enid practically exploded with excitement and skipped out of the room while Wednesday glared daggers at their parents and took (name)s arm to follow the blond girl.
Enid went on about the school's history and (name) barely paid attention, his mind wandering off and formulating a plan to help Wednesday get out, willing to be her Alibi for freedom and if he was lucky, his own.
"I wouldn't bother with the sales pitch.." (name)s voice was light and airy, a kindness that was polar to Wednesday and Enid looked a little startled at the Omega's words, he was incredibly quiet after all "I don't plan on staying here long." Wednesday said with certainty and Enid looked confused "why not?"
"Our parents forced her to be here..." (Name) Mumbled and looked out to the sea of students and Wednesday continued "its been their plan to send us here, she's smirking at me now like she won but soon I'll escape and she will never hear from me again" and pulled (name) from the railing, knowing her brother was going to try and scale it to get out but if she had to be here so did he.
They stopped before a trophy case, ornate and filled to the brim and (name) swallowed his saliva before speaking "It's all apart of their terribly obvious and annoying plan-- primarily our mother" (name) stared at the photo of their mother, his heart hurting a little at the sight of her, it wasn't a plan for them but Wednesday "what plan?" Enid asked excitedly and (name) glanced at her "to turn it into a version of them... It won't work though, more they try the more we pull away"
Enid nodded before looking between them "Well in that case maybe there's something you could clear up?" She looked to Wednesday and the girl raised her eyebrow for her to continue and Enid began walking and the two followed "there's a rumor going around you killed a kid at your old school and your parents paid them off to get you out of trouble"
"Two... Actually but whose counting" (name) breathed and Enid looked disturbed by his words as they continued walking, (name) making mental notes of every escape route as they passed the halls and out into a Pentagon shaped open space with a large dead tree in a fountain. " to the quad!" Enid gestured to the area and (name) mumbled "five..." "It's a Pentagon?" Wednesday stared bluntly and Enid seemed done with her already "the snarky goth thing may work in normie school but here is different..." (Name) Began tuning out Enid and glanced around to the students, subconsciously looking for other omegas and felt stress at the staggering amount of alphas, already figuring out every exit be can run to if needed and began mumbling"19...60...43..." Enid looked confused but Wednesday didn't acknowledge his mumbling, knowing he was calculating escape times.
He noted a group of omegas sitting by the water and locked eyes with the siren "if nevermore had royalty it would be Bianca Barklay" Enid said softly and pointed to an alpha painting on one of the walls "her and Xavier used to be a power couple but when they came back from break they were completely ice cold to one another" she explained and Xavier looked over and locked eyes with (name), the Omega staring at him distantly before turning to see a spider crawling down a pillar and gently offered his hand for it to crawl on.
"Yo Enid! Did you hear about your roommate and her brother?!" A Gorgon boy said stressed out and Enid looked distressed at his words all while Wednesday stared off and listened "they eat human flesh! And once an Omega!"(Name) Glanced at his spider friend before setting it back on the pillar and Enid moved to show the twins and (name) tilted his head with a sense of whimsy.
"I don't eat human flesh, I fillet them and feed them to my various pets..." Wednesday said and (name) blinked slowly "and how is an Omega such a surprise? I'm not a unicorn...." He doesn't have a blade taped to his forehead though he has thought of that a few times.
Enid looked embarrassed at his words "Axel... This is Wednesday and (name), Addams... I'm giving them a tour" she said to him and turned to them "sorry about him..." She said and Ajax locked eyes with (name) who blinked back boredly.
The Alpha was amusing, he would give him that.
-
When they returned back to their parents, (name) wasn't the most impressed with the uniform as he preferred to dress a bit more formal but... It would do, He didn't like that there wasn't an internal pocket though, how would he hide trinkets and such? He didn't care for the tie though, it dug into his collar and he couldn't have it loose without seeming sloppy and rude so he suffered in silence.
Gomez walked up to his son, holding an ornate bracelet that (name) remembered seeing in his dad's office all the time growing up, the older alpha smiling softly "Now, I know you can handle yourself my little Venus fly trap but a father can still worry so I grabbed this from my office... It's your great uncle Fritz's secret bracelet knife just in case!" He said lovingly to his son and (name) inspected it "thank you papa..." His voice was appreciative and he slipped it on his wrist, the cold metal strangely comforting to him.
Pugsley was next, fidgeting slightly and (name) moved to fix his hair "you are weak but do not let that impair you from greatness" (name) said softly and Pugsley pulled him into a hug, (name) gently patting his back and the beta boy wasn't ready to part with his siblings but Gomez eventually pulled him away.
(Name) Glanced to see his mother handing Wednesday a necklace and saw the engraving... Typical.
Mother always preferred Wednesday after all...
"(Name)..." Morticia said softly to her son, (name) locking eyes with her, though Morticia loved him dearly it was obvious Wednesday was her favorite out of the twins and (name) tried to ignore how it hurt, a mother daughter connection he couldn't be in.
Morticia saw the longing in her son's eyes, the hurt and pain and god it was like a knife to the chest as she spoke "I know... I know you're upset with this arrangement but please know I did this with you both in mind... I didn't want to separate you two" she said tracing the omegas face gently "Twins shouldn't be seperated... And it would be good for you to have some Omega friends even if it's not many also who knows you may find your soulmate" she whispered and (name) scoffed "I have no interest in such things" he hissed out and Wednesday butted in "And besides soulmates meeting is 3.6%, the chances of them meeting is basically none" Wednesday said bluntly and (name) appreciated his sister's words, he didn't need some mystical bond to find him love and frankly he didn't know what he wanted and Wednesday knew that, the Alpha knew him just as well as he knew her.
Mortica sighed before getting to business, time to let them know this warning before they got ideas "And on another note, I have notified every family member to tell me if you darken their doorsteps, there is. No. Escape." She said seriously and the twins just glared, Wednesday already planning something and (name) without a doubt would be her Alibi.
"Now, here's your crystal ball... We aren't allowed to contact you for the first few weeks but if you two need anything please don't hesitate" she said airily before kissing (name)s forehead in a poor way to soothe him and Wednesday completely avoided her touch.
"Please know, we love you both dearly and equally"
"I'm sure that's how you see it mother" (name) said simply before turning and leaving, Wednesday following him closely as their mother clutched her chest sadly.
(Name) Quietly spent the rest of his day unpacking his belongings, and putting his important things on his dresser before looking over to his nesting supplies, his parents going overkill with things, blankets and clothes... He dreaded remaking his nest but he knew it needed to be done.
But he could do that before bed, frankly he was too overwhelmed to do anything with that much mental work added onto it.
He was lost in his thoughts, unpacking and organizing that the sound of the door knocking made him jump out of his skin before looking at the ornate door with hesitation, stepping towards it carefully. (Name) Tentatively opened the door, seeing the siren from the quad "hey... Your (name) right?" The Omega asked and (name) nodded "(name) Addams..." He said softly and the other Omega smiled "Bianca Barclay, I'm head of the fencing club and kind of like the head of the Omega dorms, if you need anything let me know ok?" She knew how intimidating it could be as an omega without support.
"Actually... I was curious about the location of the library... Do you think you could assist me?" His voice is quiet and delicate but from what Bianca learned of his sister, don't underestimate the two Addams.
"Sure, follow me!" She said and (name) stepped out and locked his door, the technology startling him a bit "you Addams aren't really tech people, are you?" She teased and (name) shook his head "my sister despises technology unless it's proprietary to her goals and I personally just never found a need yet"
"Well if you ever get one, let me know" she smiled and (name) nodded "we can exchange numbers and I can add you to the Omega group chat--- we mainly just talk about if anyone needs stuff for heats or to hang out" she said and (name) nodded, the established pack seemed nice.
"The one time the library is packed" Bianca huffed a laugh and looked at the Omega "wanna get coffee? The other omegas and I are gonna go to the Weathervein" she offered and (name) thought it over "do they have coffee free drinks? I'm afraid I have a severe coffee allergy" he explained and Bianca nodded "they make really good hot chocolate"
"So what's Wednesday's deal?" The two asked as they walked through town, getting a ride from another student and (name) sighed "She's complicated, she means well though" he stepped out and adjusted his uniform "where is this hot chocolate?" He asked and Bianca smiled and offered her hand.
"Right around the corner, come on"
The coffee shop wasn't empty but definitely wasn't busy, the Omega taking in the warmth of the place and the smell of coffee and pastries as the omegas at a booth saved them over "Bianca, over here!" The omegas said happily, two sirens and a vampire "everyone, this is (name) Addams... He's the newest member of the omega pack" (name) politely nodded his head to them and the male siren cooed and (Name) Looked around the coffee shop curiously and saw his sister trying to bribe the barista and failing at it "sister, what are you doing?" (Name)s voice exhausted and calm and the black haired alpha glanced at him "don't concern yourself brother" her words simple and Bianca rolled her eyes at the alphas words and Mumbled something about alphas.
Tyler looked at the other Addams confused, the short and cute Omega just staring into his soul, looking straight out of an old painting and after excusing himself for a moment he wandered to his sister "sister, you will need more than that to bribe someone..." He whispered and pulled out a 100 dollar bill "from Father's wallet" he said with a sense of whimsy and Wednesday snatched it from his hand "now?" She said and Tyler rolled his eyes.
(Name) Noted the cakes on display and gravitated towards them with a look of interest and trying to not look at the normie alpha too much, he couldn't figure out why he felt drawn to him.
"My apologies but could I possibly acquire a slice of strawberry shortcake?" He asked the Alpha who froze for a second before getting his senses back and (name) paused "actually, if it isn't out of the question... Could I get five slices?"
"Hungry brother?"
"I intend to share these slices with my fellow Omegas" (name) said simply and Wednesday stared at him but (name) paid her no mind and Tyler grabbed four slices and watched the Omega stare at the slices with intent, like a shark as Tyler grabbed small plates "your total with be 15.78, cash or card?" He asked the Omega who pulled money from a coin purse and handed a twenty to him, their fingers touching and (name) jolted back at the spark.
Wednesday stared at the two suspiciously but (name) just turned and took his treats without the change "your change!" Tyler said worried and (name) just continued back to his group but he felt a sense of unease and anxiety not being close to the alpha but forced himself to continue as the door chimed and three alphas dressed as pilgrim's walked in "didn't know they made freaks like you, like a freaky fucking doll" the leader said and (name) tilted his head at his words "thank you?" He whispered confused and stared up at them, was that supposedly to be an insult?
Why don't you take your outcast ass and get out of our town, you freaks act like you run this shit because of your stupid school" the short fat beta said and (name) blinked slowly as to process this shit"Harassed by religious fanatics... How odd this town is" he mumbled and the leader looked confused "were pilgrims?" He looked incredulous and Wednesday rolled her eyes "potato tomato" she said simply and (name) still looked lost "we work at pilgrim world?"
"Wow... I never knew that there could be such a.... Unique brand of intellectual reduction to create such a useless place" (name) said with fake awe as he looked at a flyer and the leader glared "my dad owns pilgrim world, are you calling him stupid?"
"Only if the buckle fits" (name) smiled sweetly and the cake was knocked out of his hand and even Wednesday looked wide eyed, seeing a fist about to hit her brother and immediately jumping into take them out while Bianca and the omegas shielded the Omega who was pushed back into Tyler's chest, the Omega glancing up at the sheepish looking brunette "you ok?"
"I could have defeated them.... I'm combat ready" he whispered as the sheriff and principal Weems walked in looking horrified at the pilgrims groaning in pain "the hell happened here?!" The sheriff said incredulously and Tyler stepped up "they came at them first, Wednesday was just protecting her brother, they didn't do anything dad" he explained and Tyler's father sighed, looking at them before looking to Wednesday "you took these three down by yourself?"
"Not like it was a challenge"
"Are you alright, (name)?" Weems asked and walked to the Omega who nodded and glanced at his ruined floor cake with a sense of dismay, he wanted to enjoy cake with the other omegas who checked him over "we can have cake another time" Ken said softly and Divina nodded "totally, it was really sweet of you to do though!" She said softly and (name) looked around, uncomfortable with the attention and stepped back. Wednesday knew what was happening, her brother never liked being the object of everyone's gaze and there were too many alphas staring at him, too many pheromones.
"Bianca take my brother outside" Wednesday said simply while she handled Weems who tried to touch (name) and he snapped back to her with a sharp and horrified gaze, all the omegas taking him outside.
Everything suddenly became too intense, scents too strong and sounds too loud.
It was like everything in his system was set to full volume.
"I must... I must return back" he mumbled and before he knew it, he blacked out.
Tyler stumbled a bit, stressed as his mate was taken away from his line of sight and had to force himself to stand back as his head began pounding but he couldn't help himself as he darted out and saw (name) turn to look at him before falling forward, the Alpha catching him just in time and Weems followed closely behind to see the scene.
And that's when she saw the look in Tyler's eyes.
Shit.
She should have known it wouldn't be easy with the Addams.
It was late while Tyler was working at his desk, finishing up some homework that he was procrastinating but all he could think about was the fact he and a soulmate and he was absolutely perfect.
A hauntingly Beautiful creature that would stalk his dreams till he died.
He needed to know more about (name) Addams, he learned fast that he had a sharp tongue and an insatiable sweet tooth.
Maybe he could make him something sweet as a courting gift, would he like that?
Oh god what if he thought that was stupid?
Tap
Tap
Tap
Tyler turned his attention to his window, confused by the soft tapping and when he opened it, he wouldn't lie he was disappointed by the absence of a certain Omega... Sue him! He could dream!
He cracked open the window and looked around, empty.
Weird.
Then he saw... “Jesus fuck!” yelled and immediately tried to kill the hand scuttling across his room and was horrified when it grabbed his bat and tossed it, forcing him to sit down "ok...."
He sat down on his chair and the hand presented him a note before leaving and Tyler just sat there in horror for a second before carefully opening the ornate note and though not from (name), it was from his sister.
So that was... Something?
Calling Wednesday went as well as he expected, the Alpha girl needing him to drive her somewhere and Tyler worked the balls to ask her about (name) “hey... Is (name) single or seeing anyone?” He asked and Wednesday just stared at him with suspicion before hanging up and Tyler sighed.
Well that was pointless.
He would just have to wait till he saw him again..
(Name) Was a little nervous going by himself to town, Weens gave him permission after seeing he genuinely just wanted to explore the town "I don't speak on behalf of my sister but I just want to get through this..." (Name)s voice soft and the woman felt sympathy for the teen, to be an outcast of outcasts...
He saw a stationary store last time and unlike his sister, their parents gave him a credit card to use along with cash if the stores didn't take the plastic currency. (Name) Was dressed casually-- well as casual as an Addams could dress, wearing dress pants and a dress shirt, tied together with a pin striped vest, all in shades of Grey's and black.
He couldn't stop thinking of the conversation he and Weems had and the look in the woman's eyes...
"You know, if you ever wish to talk you can always trust me to listen" she offered and (name) stared at her and fidgeted "thank you for the offer" and bolted out, deeply uncomfortable with the attempt to bond with him.
He slightly regretted not bringing a sweater but the cool air wasn't insufferable yet, so he could tolerate it a bit as the Autumn air nipped his nose.
He looked up at the shop and tentatively opened the door and stepped inside, admiring the items they had and found vintage looking ornate fountain pens and grabbed two along with refill cartridges before spotting a few gothic Victorian looking stationary sets and grabbing a set.
“Doing some writing?” The elderly owner asked the Omega who nodded “for note keeping, you have a very quaint store... I quite fancy it” he mumbled and the elderly woman smiled “and you have a quaint sense of fashion that I quite like”
“...why thank you” he said sweetly, charming the beta woman a bit who gave him a free pencil “oh I couldn't possibly...”
“You seem like you have much to write, don't think too much about it” she said softly and (name) bowed politely to her before paying for his belongings and letting the woman bag it for him, admiring the fancy looking paper bag and was absolutely going to keep it.
Too nice to throw away.
Stepping out of the store he spaced out for just a moment and thought about his next plan of action "Hey" a voice spoke from behind and (name) quickly turned to see the normy barista "hello" his voice like an echo "you're Wednesdays brother right?” Tyler asked and (name) nodded hesitantly and stared at him up and down “I'm Tyler... Tyler Galpin” he introduced himself and (name) adjusted his bags and "(Name), (name) Addams..." He spoke in the most casual tone that was still extremely formal and the other smiled softly at his strange behaviour "Nice....So you're doing some shopping?”
That's the best he could come up with?! Tyler beat himself mentally as (name) looked up at him with those eyes, he was so fucking perfect...
“Why yes I am, this town has many things I enjoy” (name)s voice soft and airy while he opened his bag for the Alpha to see and Tyler smiled at the innocent gesture, he was a polar opposite from how he was the previous day but Tyler knew now not to play fuck around and find out with the Omega.
“So you're just doing shopping?”
“Well, I wanted to see what the town had to offer but with the events that transpired yesterday...”
"About yesterday" Tyler spoke and reached out to (name) who stepped back with a look of bewilderment as he gripped his bag tightly and the slight fear in his eyes and Tyler felt like garbage "Shit- sorry" he had to approach (name) like a scared deer apparently and looked at him calmly, not noticing (name) fiddling with his bracelet.
But anyone who knew (name)knew this was a ruse, the Omega was waiting to strike but the Alpha spoke first “I just wanted to talk about what happened yesterday...”
“What part?”
“ Well the fact we found out we were soulmates yesterday, that's something I want to talk about” he said softly, looking down at (name) with hooded eyes and (name) sighed before taking the alphas warm hand and dragging him somewhere more private to discuss these things. Tyler liked how (name)s hand fit snugly on his own though the Omega felt cold, almost dead.
The two managed to get to the small park in Jericho, pretty empty this time of day and (name) perched himself delicately on a park bench and Tyler sat down beside him far more causally.
“What do you expect from this?” (Name) Asked bluntly, he knew their souls were tied from now on, there was no escape from a soulmate other than death so he wanted to set ground rules and expectations.
“I...I'm gonna be honest I never thought too much about a soulmate, the chances were so low I just assumed I would never meet mine so I'm walking into this blind” Tyler admitted honestly and (name) seemed to appreciate the honesty and Tyler asked him what he expected out of this and (name) eyed him "I don't want a soulmate... I want whomever I end up with to be on my terms, no fates will decide for me” he spat, at that moment Tyler could see how him and Wednesday were related, the cold stare when they were annoyed "if you wish to be my Paramore... Court me like a man and don't expect the aspect of soulmates to sway me”
“Fair... We can do this like a normal relationship, not because of soulmate stuff...” He smiled at (name) who just stared up at his soulmate confused, why was he smiling at him?
His soulmate was strange.
“Then would you be ok with me taking you out this weekend? The harvest festival is coming up”
“... That sounds acceptable” (name) said and stood up “I will see you there, Tyler Galpin”
And I'm a blink of an eye, (name) Addams vanished.
