## Biography

### Childhood

Maynard was raised in a affluent traditional home, the eldest of Coster and Marienne Tenez's two sons. Even in early childhood, Maynard was clearly an alpha; his keen enjoyment of "rough and tumble" as well as his stature being clear indicators. When his parents realised their son's potential, they began to push for him to capitalise on his natural strength, encouraging him to participate his school's sports teams and even trying to enroll him in boxing classes (which Maynard actively tried to get out of, until he switched trainer in his teen years and then began to enjoy far more).

Maynard's true passion was always cooking however. Every evening, after school, he'd join Edna, the family maid, in the kitchen and talk to her as she cooked the family's dinner. He would often enjoy stirring the pans for her if she needed to prepare something else, which Maynard would happily assist. And on the weekends, Maynard and Jessie would sometimes end up baking together in the kitchen (and creating quite the mess which would oftentimes get them into some trouble).

In high school, Maynard was scouted quite quickly by a large sports team. Despite training well, he didn't particularly enjoy competitive sports and left the team after a season. As he was leaving, one of the coaches introduced him to an Army scout. He introduced him, and told Maynard that he was looking for people who might show potential in the secret service. Maynard was curious, so he agreed to begin training with S.M.5., the intelligence branch of the San Myshuno military.

### Adulthood

*\*\*NB: Maynard and Basmer's story are very intertwined, where possible, they've been presented from their own perspectives, but I wouldn't recommend reading them one after another, it'll get quite repetitive.*

#### Roommate Advertising

When Maynard left school, he was immediately offered a job at S.M.5. At first, he was learning the ropes whilst handling field agents and he was a little disappointed, he'd been expecting a bit more action but he understood that he had to learn so he kept at it.

But, one of the perks of his job was that is came with a housing benefit that gave him reduced rent on some houses. But as Maynard looked around all the houses, they were all horribly drab. He wanted somewhere a little nicer, but sadly that would cost him extra. He realised that he could afford about 6 months of the rent on the house he really liked, but it was a 2 bed, so he could get a roommate.

He moved into the house and quickly settled it, before putting adverts out on social media looking for a roommate. He got a couple of responses from people, but one guy caught his attention. He was called Basmer Glade, an author from Windenburg. When they had a chat on the phone, they both seemed to get along really well. So Maynard invited him over, so they could meet properly and talk over the contract.

When Basmer came over, Maynard instantly noticed a problem; Basmer was an unmated omega and he was an unmated alpha. Maynard didn't have a problem with living with an unmated omega, he knew how to control himself, but most unmated omegas didn't really leave home until they found a mate, let alone lived alone with an alpha. But when Maynard said that Basmer probably didn't want to live with him anymore, Basmer said he was still interested.

So, a few weeks later, Basmer moved into his room and settled into living with Maynard.

#### Avoiding The Inevitable

For several months, Maynard and Basmer co-existed in a fairly amicable relationship. Maynard kept his distance and worked his way up his career, earning a couple of promotions, whilst Basmer worked on his career.

There was one point however, a couple of weeks before Winterfest, where Maynard could feel himself becoming aroused at the mere scent of Basmer. He was going into rut. Desperately, he rang up his brother and explained what was going on. He feared what he might do with dampened self-control. Jessie, understanding that his brother needed his help, offered his couch to Maynard for a week, so he could ride his rut without risking Basmer's safety. He quickly packed a suitcase, forgetting the majority of what he needed as he struggled to focus from a mixture of hormones and stress, before quickly heading over to his brothers, leaving a note on the counter for Basmer saying he'd gone away for a week.

Once his rut had finally subsided, with a lot of angst and Maynard basically having to shut himself off from the world, overcome with sexual tension, Maynard was finally back to feeling himself. Not too soon either, since it was nearly Winterfest. Even though they were both planning on spending Winterfest with their respective families, Maynard and Basmer both agreed to decorate the house a little and celebrate. They both decorated a Winterfest tree together, and exchanged gifts.

The evening before they were enjoy some "Winterfest cheer" together watching a movie, when Basmer stretched out on the sofa a little more than normal, slightly encroaching into Maynard's space. When Maynard asked if he was ok, Basmer, being a little tipsy, admitted to Maynard that he found him attractive. Maynard didn't know how to respond, whether he should admit his own attraction or not. He decided against it, thinking he'd be taking advantage of Basmer's drunkenness if he did, so he quickly changed the topic and suggested that it was bedtime a little later.

#### New Years Friskiness

Over Winterfest with his family, Maynard had been mulling over Basmer's admission in his head. He wanted to admit his own feelings to Basmer, but the man didn't seem to realise he was an omega, given the way he was behaving around Maynard and that he'd been completely nonethewiser when Maynard had mentioned he was an alpha when he was moving in. But if they were both attracted to each other, surely it made sense ...

When Maynard returned home, he found the decision being made for him. Basmer had arrived the night before, and was in the process of packing a suitcase. He told Maynard that he was sorry for making it awkward between them and that he was going to move out because he didn't want Maynard to feel bad around him. Before Maynard had a chance to think, he immediately blurted out "No" and that he didn't want Basmer to leave. When Basmer asked why, Maynard had to admit his own feelings for Basmer.

The look of surprise on Basmer's face had Maynard worried for a little while, thinking that Basmer was about to say his feelings had changed. But Basmer just asked if he was joking or not. Maynard said he wasn't, and asked if Basmer wanted to try and see if anything would become of them if they let themselves act on their attraction. Basmer tentatively agreed, saying that he hadn't really had a boyfriend before.

Over the next week, Maynard and Basmer started to become a little more intimate with one another, sitting next to each other on the sofa, and cuddling whilst they were watching TV. Living together, everything seemed to move so much faster, it wasn't long before Maynard was starting to show off, cooking breakfast for them in his pyjamas, and they had their first kiss only a few days after they decided to try dating.

As New Years was approaching, Maynard was discussing their plans for the night. Basmer mentioned that his parents didn't throw New Years parties since they did big Christmas parties, and that he'd usually got to his sister's, but she was throwing a company one that year and he felt awkward going. Maynard offered to take him him to his parents' party as his Plus One. Basmer wasn't sure about meeting Maynard's parents so soon after starting their relationship, but Maynard convinced him to join.

When Maynard's parents saw Basmer arriving with him, questions immediately began to arriving. He tried to fend off the questions where he could, but when he got distracted talking to Jessie, his mother had cornered Basmer with questions. First that Maynard knew was when a distressed Basmer came up to him asking him what his mother had meant by "heats" and "mates".

Maynard's protective instincts began to kick in, he took Basmer's hand and took him upstairs to his parents' bedroom, where he knew no one would be. He sat Basmer down on the bed and helped sooth him, promising to explain what everything meant the next morning when they were home, but that for now, he just needed to relax. He apologised for bringing Basmer to the party, blamed himself, but Basmer stopped him and told him that he was still glad Maynard asked, that he'd just got a little overwhelmed.

Basmer embraced Maynard, thanking him for caring and helping make things better. As they were pulling apart, Basmer quickly leaned forward and pressed a kiss against Maynard's lips. Soon, things were getting hot and heavy between them, as they hit third base in Maynard's parents' bed, the sounds of the New Years cheers filtering up from downstairs.
