As a newly turned omega, Scott was restless and easily annoyed by it. Not only did he get presented late, but also he was annoyed that his secondary gender was an omega out of all things. He was sure he was a beta, but after an error in what the doctor said he was actually an omega.
Which means he has a lot of bigger problems, that problem is that now alphas are now lining up to claim him as their little omega. Though luck for them, Scott wasn't that type of an omega. He didn't like alphas at all, he didn't want to be their little trophy omega or a mate. He would rather be independent of an omega.
Well that is until when he met Bentho out of all people, in his opinion he's a great person and knows boundaries and if he could be honest. Definitely handsome as he was a prince and also he's an alpha. “Hey Scott, how does the appointment to the doctor go?” Bentho would often ask about him and his well-being, unlike some certain alphas do.
“Yeah… the doctor gave me a false result of my secondary gender, I wasn't a beta but an omega turns out.” He huffed in annoyance, bentho just nodded along as he felt bad for him. “Well just because you're an omega it doesn't define you as a different person, no? Even if the system wants us to think omega are only what they want you to be… you're just being yourself. Sharp tongue, sarcastic, brave and well unique…” that certain words from Bentho did something to Scott that he cannot name what it was.
He could only feel his chest getting warmer by his words and him in general. That is what Scott likes about bentho afterall, “that's… thank you for the assurance. You're not a bad alpha, I mean you are great– like really a great alpha and ruler.” He simply stated and that made Bentho smile, which that specific smile also made Scott turn pink because of him.
So that's basically what their relationship was, strictly platonic and well balanced alpha-omega friends whatever they want to call it. Scott thought that he and bentho would be just strictly friends and professional about it
But for bentho, he has this one disturbing mind that his instinct wants. He wants to be with Scott and even claimed him so other alphas cannot take their first move to Scott. So bentho made a plan for himself
A plan where it was stupid, reckless, and also selfish and dangerous for himself. That is also involved with scenting, he will need a lot of scenting if he wants to make Scott as his. So he made a plan to claim Scott without him knowing about it.
The plan was simple, he only needs to have his scent all over Scott. And so he did by him being close to Scott as a first step, whenever Scott went Benthomaar would always follow him around and be generally close in his space. Sometimes he would be besides him or even put his hands on his back and let out a little of scents all over Scott, “you know you're really in my personal space…” scott would called out to him and bentho would only show an innocent smile and told him, “I only want to make sure you're fine” he often said that, which Scott only sigh and let him.
Phase one is complete, now moving on to phase two, courting him with stuff. That includes him giving Scott his stuff such as a newly worn scarf that he only used twice, a jacket that he owns and often dropping it on Scott's shoulder and the jacket already has his scent.
Scott however is always reluctant on taking it, but after bentho convinces him a few times he finally wears it, “don't take it weirdly, then are warm compared to my temperature that is always being cold” he said as he buried himself through the jacket.
“Ofcourse! You can always take my stuff if you want!” Bentho eagerly said as his shark tail wagged happily, Scott saw it and couldn't help but let out a small smile. That made Bentho wagging his tail even faster, “you're surprisingly weird for being an alpha…” Scott told him but still smiling.

A few days later Benthomaar came to Scott's workplace and brought him some big plushie for him. The plushie was big and a shark one like bentho is, the prince however only smiling while he brings it everywhere with him. “What the hell Bentho?! Did you seriously bring it everywhere here?” Scott genuinely asked as he could feel his face turning red when Bentho gave him the plushie to his arms.
“I just want to give you as a present, it can help you if you ever missed me” he shamelessly flirted with Scott, while the mechanic omega then pinched his cheek. “You idiot shark, are you trying to court me or something?”
“Yes I did, I want to court you!” He excitedly exclaimed which made Scott pinched him even more, still red from how shameless he was. Meanwhile his other coworkers could tell the smell was really strong of sea salt and cedarwood, it was the alpha scents already all over the plushie. That was also a trick of him to claim Scott, other alphas that were in there then instantly backing away, so does some omegas.
“What….” Scott was now turning even red as Bentho wasn't joking around, which he then took Scott's hand and even proposed to him, “from the moment before knowing you're an omega, I always like you. That's why I want to court you.. if that's alright with you” he sheepishly said, it sure was making Scott lose of his words.
To be honest to himself, Scott also has feelings for bentho but he didn't notice it until now. So he then buried his face in the plushie, the scent was already on him. “You can't just suddenly say you're going to court me…” he said quietly but Scott didn't reject the idea of him being courted by Benthomaar himself. “So do you accept?” He asked, and well he did get his answer by Scott pinching him. That was a yes. And his plan was perfect as he could feel his scent was already all over Scott.

Bonus:
At night, Scott was in his room, definitely with his newest court present from bentho (the plushie itself) and him having his jacket near his bed. Well Scott didn't want to tell bentho that he often sleeps with the stuff just because he likes the scent.
“It's just temporary…” he said and slept with both of it. And well he made into a nest unknowingly to himself while thinking about how nice it would be if he and bentho were to mate.
