2 - scenting

-An Alpha intentionally scenting their Omega for the first time is almost more significant to their relationship than a first kiss 
 
-A nervous Omega mother anxiously scenting their child before dropping them off at school for the first time

  -An Omega's very platonic Alpha friend scenting them just to get a reaction out of the Omega's mate who they know will pout and cling to the Omega like a child  

-When an Omega is feeling very anxious or nervous their Alpha will hold them close while gently crooning and scenting them until they calm down 

-If an Alpha is becoming too aggravated their Omega will release calming pheromones that will draw the Alpha to them so they can snuggle close and soothe them  

-Instead of just kissing at a wedding, Alpha and Omega couples lightly scent each other at the altar...just light neck touching, nothing inappropriate  

-A long distance relationship where an Alpha and Omega mail bits of their clothing to each other, they can't scent each other in person but they can keep a bit of each other's scent on them 

-A young Omega taking a stuffed animal to play at their Alpha friend's house and while they are there the Alpha holds the stuffed animal, accidentally scenting it, and the Omega doesn't notice until that night when they are going to bed. At first it bothers them but after awhile the Alpha scent begins to soothe them...after that the Omega can't relax and fall asleep without the Alpha's scent and as the two grow older the Omega has the Alpha scent sweaters, blankets, and pillows, by the time they are mated the Omega's nesting supplies are already covered in the Alpha's scent, and the Alpha admits to purposefully scenting the stuffed animal all those years ago  

-A pregnant Omega filling their nest with stuffed animals and baby blankets and filling it so full that their Alpha has a hard time laying in it with them, but when asked to take a few things out the Omega becomes slightly hysterical because everything needs to stay and be scented or the babies won't feel safe...the Alpha quickly calms their mate down and never suggests it again 

-An Alpha getting jealous when their Omega best friend/crush starts hanging around another Alpha. One day the Omega comes over actually smelling like the other Alpha so the friend assumes the two have scented each other and they just lose it, they pull the Omega down on their lap and nuzzle them roughly, nipping and licking at the Omega's scent glands possessively, completely running on instinct until they no longer smell the other Alpha. The Omega being bright red and breathless demanding to know "what the actual hell just happened?!" and the Alpha childishly telling them that they didn't like "the disgusting scent that you covered yourself in" and the Omega sputtering in outrage because it was an accidental scenting and of course the only Alpha's scent they actually wanted to be covered with was their friend's and- oh they said too much and now they are just sitting in awkward silence until finally the Alpha bluntly asks "so are we together now or what?" and swiftly being smacked in the head
