Summary:

Poly Vees scent each other in a way unusual for most packs

Notes:

Omega Vox Week Day 3: Scenting

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

One way you could tell what someone's position in a pack is the way they scent their packmates and vice versa. Nobody could get a good grasp on how the hell the dynamics between the vees worked.

Valentino was possessive with Vox, he grabbed him out of nowhere and wrapped himself around the omega, making sure to cover him completely in his honey and smoke scent. Val would not dare be that rough with Velvette, he would hug her and gently nuzzle into her neck, closest to where her faint berry and slightly floral scent was.

While Valentino was overt with his scenting in public, Velvette showed a little more restraint. She mostly reserved scenting for private settings. When she scented Val in public it was performative, posing for cameras. With Vox it was mostly the same.

Vox scented more affectionately in private, but he would scent his vees in public for the cameras and if he felt someone was getting too flirty with them. He mostly scented casually, rubbing his wrist against Velvette's, or covertly scenting Val while the alpha scents him.

Nobody knew quite what the vees deal was, because all they saw was Valentino scenting them the most, something usually omegas do the most. Velvette scenting them at all was unusual for a beta. And they could never see just how much Vox makes sure Val and Vel are absolutely covered in his ocean and blueberry scent so it looked like he never scented them at all.

Notes:

Here's why I chose their scents if you're interested:
Valentino - Smoke because he smokes so much I bet it's become a part of his natural scent, honey because of the phrase "you catch more flies with honey then vinegar" and it makes me think about how Valentino is most often depicted as being really nice to people before getting them under contract
Velvette - Berry is just because her colour scheme reminds me of that generic berry flavor some candy has, which isn't an insult to the flavour I love the generic berry flavour. Floral because of the same reason, her colour scheme reminds me of flowers
Vox - Ocean because of his shark thing, blueberry because he's blue. I also think he has more of an artificial blueberry scent, like the candy flavour because he's kinda fake (could argue the same thing about Velvette and Val's scents)
