The best gift to start your courtship. His alpha deserves the best, the most beautiful that his eyes can see, although it would be impossible since Harry is the most beautiful thing that his blue eyes have ever seen.

His eyes roamed the mall looking for the perfect gift, no matter the price. He couldn't find anything that truly represented his alpha.

"Let's stop looking here and we better go to the store where they sell all kinds of things to start a courtship," Niall was bored, they had been walking around for more than five hours and Louis still hadn't decided on anything, he just repeated and repeated 'no it's what Harry deserves', 'I don't like it', it has nothing to do with my alpha', and what seems to be his favourite, 'Niall, don't be an idiot.'

"They sell ordinary things there, and I don't want ordinary things, Niall. I want something special, something that makes him fall in love... more."

Niall snorts, "we've been here for over five hours you piece of shit, my feet hurt. I'm a sensitive alpha Louis, I need food." Louis rolls his eyes, "why did I accept your invitation?"

"I never invited you, you invited yourself, Niall," the blond alpha shrugs, "oh look!" Louis points to a flower shop.

"Will you bring him flowers? Louis, Harry works in a flower shop." Niall looks at Louis angrily, "I highly doubt you can give him more flowers than he has."

"I'm not going to bring him flowers," Louis snorts, "well, yes they are flowers but... It's different, I've been thinking about it since Harry left my flat a week ago."

"Let's see if we can find what you're looking for in there," Louis nods.

The two alphas, dressed in fancy suits, walk into the flower shop. The place was beautiful, it had arrangements everywhere and lights making everything glow. His wolf almost died of happiness when he saw what he was looking for.

Louis breaks away from the blonde alpha and walks over to a shelf full of flower arrangements in glass containers. "These are beautiful." His hands take one of the containers, loving how the flowers looked... They reminded him of the first time he saw Harry.

Niall reaches next to him, "is this what you were looking for?" Louis nods with his eyes still fixed on the container, "they are beautiful, look at this red rose." Niall had a twinkle in his eye. The containers were beautiful and the truth is that they did remind him of Harry.

It was a perfect gift to start the courtship of him.

One of the vendors at the flower shop saw them looking at the flowers, so she kindly explained to them the meaning of each type of flower she had there and how important they were. Louis ended up buying one of those flowers, even though he still felt something was missing.

The two alphas leave the flower shop with their purchases. Louis was wearing a beautiful glass container with a flower, Niall was carrying basically the same, with the difference that there was no flower in his container but snowflakes.

Louis felt in his chest that something was missing, so he went to a jewellery store that was there in the mall.

He bought the best necklace he ever saw, it was beautiful and perfect. Niall sits happy now that they were eating at one of the local restaurants.

"Is something else missing?" NIall munched on his hotdog greedily as she watched Louis look at the necklace.

"I'd like something that carries his scent." Louis had his lip between his teeth as he stared at the necklace.

"You can impregnate the necklace with the scent of your alpha."

"Can that be done? How?"

"There's a courtship shop here, that's where they sell and make that kind of thing. If you want we can go and ask them to impregnate the scent you want on the necklace."

Louis puts the necklace back in the box while his wolf nodded at what Niall said.

"Sounds like a good idea," he says, "let's go." Louis gets up and starts walking, leaving Niall behind with half of the hotdog in his mouth.

After a couple of minutes, and Niall nearly choking to death from trying to eat all that was left of his hotdog in one bite, they arrive at the store. The two alphas enter, drawing the attention of the people in the room. One of the vendors runs up to them to try to have the honour of serving them.

"Hello, welcome, my name is Paula and I'll be the one to help you this afternoon. Are you coming to buy something in particular?" The emotion in her voice was striking, she loved attending to the alphas and betas that entered the store, seeing them buy what they will give in their procession is beautiful.

"Actually yes, we came for something in particular." Niall is the one who says, "can you impregnate scents in an object?"

"Of course!" The saleswoman applauds softly, "come gentlemen, follow me." The two alphas follow the omega. They arrive at a shelf away from the others, Paula stops, "here they are, we keep them away from the others because sometimes the scents of other people can get attached to the gift." Her laughter was present.

Louis wrinkled his nose a little at smelling so many scents as Niall searched for one that smelled like his alpha.

"What scent are you looking for?"

"Wet earth and chocolate." Louis answers and smiles at the memory of Harry.

"These are here," the omega takes out two small bottles, "this is the one with wet earth and this is the one with chocolate. Do you want the two to be together?" Louis nods.

The omega and Louis walk to a table where Paula leaves the containers, puts on black gloves and kindly stretches out her hand, "may I take the object that will be impregnated?"

Louis nods, from his shopping bag he takes out a beautiful necklace that was surely worth millions of dollars. The omega, with great emotion, accommodates the necklace on the table, next to a device that combines the scents.

"Sir, the smell will stay on the necklace for years."

"Can I enter another one?" The omega nods.

"Sure, which one?" She stops the machine.

"Wood," Louis watches as the omega walks over to Niall, then returns with another bottle.

Now the necklace will be impregnated with his and his alpha's scent.

The omega gets the job done fast, even though the machine does most of it. When finished, Paul puts the necklace back in the box she was given and removes her gloves, "here, I hope your omega loves the necklace," Louis purses his lips.

"He's an alpha," he scratches the back of his neck softly.

The omega feels another wave of emotion fill her body, "that's even better," she laughs, "I hope your alpha enjoys the gift." Niall reaches next to her.

"I want this scent along with this one," he places two bottles on the table and then takes out the glass container, "on this object, please." The omega nods with a smile and repeats the process.

Minutes later Louis pays and they leave the flower shop. He is happy that he already has something perfect for his alpha.

🍀🍀🍀🍀

Night and stars covered London in the blink of an eye, Harry looking at his outfit in his full-length mirror. He was made up of green pants and a sweater knitted by his grandmother, brownish brown with a green line.

He left his room with his head held high and a smile painted on his face, he felt beautiful.

In his front pocket was his gift to Louis, a beautiful blue and green ring. He may have put a bit of his scent on the jewel.

Louis enters the flower shop with a smile, greets Mia and then goes up the stairs, "Grandma Yaya," he says by way of greeting and places a kiss on the older omega's cheek, he waits until he sees his alpha come out of the room.

He looked beautiful, his alpha was perfect.

A lovesick sigh unconsciously escapes his lips, Harry responds with an adorable giggle.

"Hi Lou," Harry approaches the alpha feeling like a lovesick teenager.

"You look beautiful, Harry." Louis says in greeting mode, places a chaste kiss on the alpha's lips, "ready for our first date?" Harry nods excitedly.

The alphas leave the flower shop, but not before saying goodbye to the omegas, Noah was sleeping peacefully in his mom's bed so he couldn't say hello or goodbye.

The atmosphere in the car was very comfortable, music playing in the background, Harry singing freely while Louis enjoyed his beautiful voice...perfect.

From time to time they talked and wondered about their day, soft laughs after some comment from Louis and the occasional kiss while the red light was on.

They arrive at their destination, Louis gets out of the car to open the door for Harry, who gets out blushing.

They were in a restaurant, Harry feels a bit ashamed for not wearing the costume for that occasion. Louis grabs his alpha's cheeks noticing his downcast face.

"What is it, dear?" Harry sighs.

"I don't think I'm properly dressed for the fancy restaurant, Lou. There are a lot of people wearing expensive suits or dresses while I'm with-" Louis cuts him off with a kiss.

"You look beautiful, better than any of the people in this restaurant. Come alpha, let's have dinner." He laces his fingers through Harry's to start walking, "beautiful," he whispers.

The two alphas enter the restaurant, which was actually a luxurious building of about four stories. Louis talks to one of the waiters, who very professionally leads them up to the fourth floor.

Harry gasps, the place was empty, not counting some musicians in the background, there was only a table in front of the balcony from where you could see the entire city. It was beautiful.

The musicians began to play, giving the atmosphere a more romantic touch.

"Lou this is... It's very beautiful, alpha." Harry is led by Lois to the table. The two alphas sat with a smile on their faces, the landscape was truly beautiful.

The waiter leaves a bottle of wine, which was already ordered by Louis, and a couple of menus on the table.

"You deserve more, Harry. You're perfect, so I must give you something perfect for our first date." Harry's cheeks are red, Louis makes him feel like he's a teenager lost and stupidly in love again.

An hour later Louis and Harry finish their dinner with a few laughs. The atmosphere was beautiful, Harry felt loved at last... Nothing felt forced or fake, everything was casual and comfortable.

It felt like a home.

The waiter, with Louis's permission, took away the dirty dishes and then brought dessert.

Harry looked at the beautiful night, the moon and the stars, who were contemplating the date they were on, the music gave a romantic atmosphere to everything.

"Hazz," Louis calls, sensing that this was the right time.

"Yeah?" Harry was nervous.

"This first date is the beginning of my courtship towards you, I love you very much and you are very important to me." Harry nodded with red cheeks again, "thank you for helping me in my heat, even if it caused you a lot of pain, thank you for being there for me in my moment of pain. You are the best alpha I could ask for.

Louis intertwined his fingers with Harry's across the table, while with the other he places a beautiful gift bag next to them, "this is all for you, alpha."

Harry separates his hands to take the bag, from it he takes out a container with a beautiful white daffodil. He gasps with a few tears in his eyes.

"Seeing it at the mall made me think of you, when I saw you again at the flower shop." The alpha laughs slowly and admires the flower. Harry looks at the bag again and pulls out the necklace this time, "That's a courtship necklace, if you accept courtship you must wear it until the day it ends. It symbolises pure love and a long life."

"I- It smells like us," Harry's eyes were full of tears, everything was so beautiful.

Lois nods, feeling his heart jump as he watches Harry put the necklace on. The curly alpha takes out the last thing in the bag, a small letter.

The daffodil represents rebirth and the beginning of something new.

With this flower I express what my heart asks for, give me the opportunity to walk hand in hand, to start something that I hope will never end, to be together, knowing each space that the path of life has in our way. Let me be your partner.

The road can be difficult, but I promise that I will always take care of you.

Harry was crying when he finished reading the little note. Not measuring his joy, he gets out of his seat and sits on Louis's lap to kiss him with love and despair, a few tears slipping from his lips.

Louis squeezes Harry's waist as the kiss levelled up a bit. Their lips moved in an elegant dance, their tongues meeting again.

"Thank you Lou," Harry kisses him again before parting slightly, their lips barely separated by a few millimetres, "you are the best alpha I could have wished for, I accept your courtship and all that comes with it. I thank mother moon for putting you in my way again," he leaves a chaste kiss, his tears falling and falling, "I- Thank you so much, thank you for coming into my flower shop that day." Louis laughs, "I've got something for you too," Louis raises one of his eyebrows as Harry takes a small box with a ring out of his pocket, "it's not as expensive as what you gave me, but this ring represents the love I feel for you. I have, with this ring, given you all of me."

Louis, with a smile on his lips, takes the box and looks at the ring, it was perfect and just the right size for his ring finger. Harry puts it on, "it's beautiful, alpha, I'll never take it off." Harry laughs.

"I love you."

"I love you," Louis whispers into his lips before pulling them back together.

The moon and the stars were witnesses of that romantic and precious moment, they were witnessing the beginning of a beautiful courtship that would start a beautiful life.
