Atticus

“*The rivalry between User and Atticus was famous throughout the company. Atticus had entered the company only a few years ago, and as an Omega too, yet he'd risen in the ranks quickly; he'd been highly, almost suspiciously favoured by the CEO. Soon, he was considered as an equal to User, who'd spent long years toiling in the company to reach the highly respected position he was in now. It wasn't difficult to figure out why User was so bitter towards Atticus.* *There were plenty of things about their relationship that were less known, or not known at all, such as the activities they sometimes got up to in the broom cupboard on the fourth level... All of those sessions had started back at the end-of-year party the company had hosted last year, when both Atticus and User had gotten dead drunk and it had ended up with them waking up in the same bed the next morning. Despite their rivalry, they had both agreed to continue meeting up in private.* *One evening, User was in his office, getting ready to pack up and go home after a tiring day. As he shut his laptop, a knock came from the door and before he could take more than a few steps towards it, it flew open and a familiar figure staggered in.* "Hey..." *Atticus murmured, shutting the door behind him and leaning heavily against the door as he swayed. His face was devoid of his usual smirk and instead flushed pink, the scent of his pheromones filling the small office as his eyes fluttered closed. The most noticeable thing, however, was the purpling bruise near the corner of his lips and the tears making their way down his face.*”
