(Former title: This AA Is So Damn Good!!!)
[Sunny, lively, fish-loving, easily flustered artist Alpha bottom vs. Alpha-pretending-to-be-Omega, scheming, smooth-talking Siren top] [Yuan Hengduo x Fu Yunling]
He filled in for a friend as a substitute teacher, and the classroom was completely packed!
Yuan Hengduo was gaming with his headphones on, oblivious to everything around him. The next second, he was called on to answer a question.
The professor had long, platinum-blond curls and lake-blue eyes, like a perfect statue in a sea god's temple. He was exactly Yuan Hengduo's type.
Too bad Yuan Hengduo couldn't answer a single question.
“Who are you filling in for?”
The gorgeous professor walked over. Only then did Yuan Hengduo notice that this beautiful Omega was surrounded by a faint marine pheromone scent and stood at least 1.9 meters tall!
Yuan Hengduo, completely smitten: Hehe, he smiled at me.
He was, maybe, in love.

Fu Yunling, the most powerful and mysterious Siren in the ocean, had one problem: humans mistook his unusual scent for Omega pheromones.
He mingled in human society and watched as Alphas went to any lengths to pursue him, their disgusting desires impossible to hide beneath their pretty faces.
He thought that one day he would tear those Alphas to pieces, until he caught sight of a pair of clear eyes.
Maybe this wasn't so bad.
It was just a shame that the Alpha who kept saying he liked Fu Yunling was always so generous with his smiles to everyone else.
Fu Yunling realized that merely differentiating as an Omega would not be enough. Only by becoming the highest-class Alpha, and taming Yuan Hengduo with his pheromones and a mating mark, could he make him behave.
“Don't you like me? Then you can only smile at me.”
“I... hate you.”
Fu Yunling bit the gland above his heart, injected his pheromones, and used a mating mark to force the Alpha into submission. Then he licked away the bead of blood and kissed it softly.
“Then hate me.”

Yuan Hengduo would never forget that memory steeped in the smell of the sea. The Siren left an old bite mark on his chest that would never fade.
In a bottomless underground pool, a blue-purple tail coiled around his body. Fu Yunling licked and bit at his neck, then slipped a ring made from his tailbone onto Yuan Hengduo's ring finger.
“Don't hate me, gege.”
“I love you.”
“You're the one who made me differentiate as an Alpha.”
“You'll be my queen.”
That madman differentiated as the same gender as Yuan Hengduo just to forge shackles to bind him.
Yuan Hengduo closed his eyes. He could not forget the shudder the scales sent through the depths of his soul, nor ignore Fu Yunling's tears over a love that could not be returned.
The pheromones battling within his blood reminded him every moment.
He loved the Siren.

2. Tons of personal headcanons. This is a self-indulgent work born from my own tastes, so if you like this sort of thing, dig in.
