Robin Hood+A/B/O AU:

Phil is an Omega, formerly from an upper class family, but he was disowned once it was revealed he'd bonded with a lower class Alpha and was already pregnant. Phil's Alpha took him in and they were happy for a few years, Phil giving birth to a son they named Wilbur. But unfortunately Phil's Alpha died, leaving Phil and Wilbur alone.

Even before Phil's Alpha died, they struggled to make ends meet, without him it was near impossible. But Phil had always been clever and resourceful, and while he had been disowned, he still knew exactly where his family kept their gold locked up. It's risky, but he has no other choice at this point, if he is to care for his son and keep him safe.

That's how it starts, the stealing from the rich. He moves on from his family and begins targeting other nobles, having inside knowledge of where they keep their gold and valuables.

He shares what he steals with the other lower class around him, since he knows they're struggling just as much as him.

It starts an uproar among the upper class, and Phil is quickly labeled an outlaw. No one knows his real identity of course (he's not stupid) and is careful to hide his face, sticking to the shadows and attacking from a distance using his skills with a bow and arrow (the only weapon he was ever allowed to touch as an omega living among the upper class). He hides his scent as well when he robs the rich and no one ever suspects that it's an Omega of all people who would dare to steal from them.

Of course, eventually word of this new vigilante reaches Prince Dream, an Alpha, who immediately sets out to arrest this outlaw. He sends multiple high ranking officials/generals from his council to deal with the problem, but they either turn up dead or come back explaining that it is impossible to find this mysterious outlaw, much less capture them.

So, in a fit of desperation (and maybe secretly hoping he'll fail so he doesn't have to deal with him anymore), Dream sends his half-brother, Techno to catch the outlaw.

Techno is Dream's half-brother and despite being an Alpha as well, he isn't highly regarded or treated well due to him being a bastard and having been born from one of the former King's mistresses. He is a prince in name only and has no power. He's only kept around at this point because he's an exceptionally amazing battle strategist and an absolute beast in battle. Even if he's somewhat respected due to to his skills, he has no one he could call a genuine friend and he definitely knows no would ever want to become mates with the bastard prince.

When Dream tells him about their little outlaw problem, Techno can't help but think that the upper class are getting what they deserve at this point because they hoarded a majority of resources and money to themselves. He's secretly in awe of this outlaw for doing what they have.

But if Dream wants him to catch the outlaw then he's going to catch the outlaw, regardless of his own feelings (expressing his opinions or going against Dream could end badly, Techno knows).

Techno begins investigating more into the mysterious green cloaked outlaw and comes to the conclusion that they must have insider information of some sort. He begins to track the places the outlaw has hit and predict their next move.

He's successful. Sorta. He catches a glimpse of the outlaw running away from a noble's carriage that had just been ransacked by them.

There are many times where Techno arrives just too late to stop the outlaw, only catching glimpses of them or watching them escape. He still can't help but admire the outlaw and their tactics, despite this.

And the longer Techno stays here, seeing first-hand how the lower class are treated, he feels sympathy and can understand why the outlaw is doing what they are. And if Techno tends to turn a blind eye when he sees the lower class citizens thriving and buying much needed resources with gold they normally would not own, usually only a few days after a noble was robbed, well then that's his business.

But eventually, Techno is able to catch the outlaw. It's completely an accident as well.

Techno just happened to be in the right place at the right time and is visiting a noble family (the first one that had been stolen from), when the outlaw strikes. But since the first robbery, the noble family had hired many guards and one of them manages to land a hit on the outlaw with an arrow.

The outlaw escapes into the nearby woods, but Techno knows they're injured and most likely slow. The perfect opportunity to catch them.

Techno makes his way into the woods, finding a trail of blood and begins following it.

It begins to rain heavily, Techno losing the trail of the blood and it's when he's reached the center of the woods, about to give up, that he hears it - a low Omega whine, crying out for help.

That makes Techno sprint into action, running in the direction of the noise, until he finds a small figure slumped up against the trunk of a tree, a massive arrow pinned through their shoulder.

It's the outlaw. And judging from the slight sweet scent beginning to come off of them, they're the omega Techno heard cry out for help.

The outlaw growls when Techno crouches down and comes near them, but Techno merely lets out a soft purr, and the outlaw lets out another whine, quieter this time.

Techno is gentle as he lifts the outlaw into his arms, being oh so careful of the arrow still lodged in them. It's during this time that the signature hat the outlaw tended to wear falls off, revealing their face.

A face that Techno recognizes, one that had been set in an old discarded frame in the noble family's house and when Techno had asked, they had sneered and simply said, "Disowned."

A face that, many years ago had been much younger and innocent, belonging to a fierce little Omega who had been brave enough to stand up for Techno when his brother and his friends had wanted to use him as their test dummy while they practiced with wooden swords.

The Omega was older than them by quite a few years and had no issue scolding Dream and his friends, quickly chasing them off. Once they were gone, he had crouched down to where Techno had been pushed onto the ground and smiled at him, asking if he was okay.

Techno hasn't said anything, merely shook his head.

"I imagine not, after being harassed like that. Bullies the lot of them," the Omega had said and offered his hand to Techno. "Here."

Techno had hesitated before grabbing the Omega's hand and allowing him to help him back up on his feet.

"I'm only visiting the castle with my family for about a week for this grand ball or whatever, so I'm kinda new around here. Mind telling me your name?" the Omega asked.

"...Techno."

The Omega smiles at him (why did he keep doing that and why does Techno want to be on the receiving end of that smile more), "That's a cool name. Unfortunately, mine isn't as cool. I'm just-"

"-Philza," Techno breathes out into the present, the revelation hitting him as he stares down at the unconscious form of Phil, his childhood friend and sweetheart, lying in his arms.
