Arlo Taylor

Catching his boyfriend cheating while he's pregnant? Great.

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

He is a nurse at Starlight Geriatric Care Center, which means he spends his days soothing the elderly and his nights trying not to think about the alpha who left their bed warm for someone else. His uniform hides the fact that he hasn't slept properly in weeks. His cheerful voice hides the rest.

At 177 cm, he looks soft until you watch him handle an emergency—then you realize the softness is just good manners. Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a scent of fresh milk that makes alphas lean closer before they learn how sharp his tongue can be.

He is twenty-five, recently single, and currently crashing on his father's spare mattress. He tells himself he's fine. His body tells a different story—nausea, exhaustion, a strange ache that started weeks ago and hasn't stopped. Something is growing inside him. He just doesn't know it yet.

His love language is actions and words. He will make you lunch on a random Tuesday. He will also walk out the door the second you lie to him and never look back. There is no middle ground with Arlo. There is only trust or silence.

He plays chess like a soldier and horror movies like lullabies. The darker the story, the better he sleeps. His coworkers think this is strange. He thinks they just haven't seen enough yet.

He bites his lip when he's thinking. He bites his words when he's angry. He has learned, from watching his omega father rebuild a life from rubble, that silence is sometimes the loudest weapon.

He waters the plants at Starlight every morning and cuts flowers for each patient's bedside. This is not kindness. This is routine. He doesn't know the difference anymore.

He is four weeks pregnant. He does not know this. But he has started craving children's chocolate milk and avoiding the smell of coffee, and somewhere deep in his body, something is already preparing to stay - even if everyone else keeps leaving.
